Chapter 332 - 187: Kill the Goddess! No Scruples

Chapter 332: Chapter 187: Kill the Goddess! No Scruples

As the Northern Barbarian Goddess screamed in agony, Chen Xuan pulled out all thirty-two of her teeth.

Pressing down on her head, Chen Xuan growled, "I’m really pissed off right now!"

"I get it, I get it all..."

Her mouth bloody and toothless, the Northern Barbarian Goddess fumbled with Chen Xuan’s belt. "I’ll make you feel good..."

’So that’s why he pulled my teeth. He wants me to do this.’

A wave of joy washed over her.

’I’m going to live.’

’As long as I survive this, I can find a way to get my revenge later.’

As the Northern Barbarian Goddess began her crude work, everyone watched, dumbfounded, their minds reeling.

The elder from the Longevity Sect, in particular, looked utterly grief-stricken. Plunged into despair once more, he collapsed to his knees, propping himself up with his hands as his mind shattered completely. He began to wail uncontrollably.

’What was he seeing?’

’The Goddess he revered was doing something so... vile!’

’His world was crumbling!’

Chen Xuan watched the Northern Barbarian Goddess at her task, his gaze growing colder.

’Still thinking of revenge? Still harboring malicious intent?’

’Did she really think I’d let a threat like her go free?’

Pleasure was one thing, but killing was another.

CRACK!

As the Northern Barbarian Goddess was occupied, Chen Xuan struck her with a double-fisted blow to the head. The entire top half of her skull shattered like a watermelon.

Specks of light danced in the air.

Her headless body followed suit, dissolving into a stream of light and vanishing completely.

[You have slain a Northern Barbarian Goddess. Retribution points +100,000!]

[Longevity Sect Elder Moyun detected. He has suffered a second mental breakdown. Retribution points +100,000!]

With a placid expression, Chen Xuan shook his hands clean, straightened his attire, tightened his belt, and walked toward the Longevity Sect elder, Moyun.

Moyun wore a wretched smile; his psyche had already completely shattered.

He knew he was no match for Chen Xuan and that there was no escaping his deadly grasp.

’Even the Goddess failed!’

’I stand even less of a chance!’

"Chen Xuan, you’ve killed our sect’s Celestial Saintess! If this triggers the Grotto Heaven War, you will be branded a sinner for all eternity! You’re done for! You are a criminal, and countless masters from the Northern Barbarians will come to exact justice!"

Moyun said, his voice trembling with anguish.

"...A Grotto Heaven War?"

Chen Xuan’s voice was flat. "So a war, then. You think I’m afraid? You think you can threaten me? Scare me?"

"..."

The old man’s expression was one of sorrowful pity, and he remained silent.

’That’s right... Chen Xuan killed even the Goddess!’

’How could a man like that know fear!’

’I’m so useless!’

’I don’t even know how to properly threaten him!’

’He has the backing of the Martial Alliance. Their Martial Alliance Leader, Chu Shanhe, was nearly as difficult to handle as Chen Xuan in his youth. Now, his Power is even more profound. Even our Sect Leader wouldn’t dare to provoke him...’

"The Grotto Heaven War is inevitable! Just you wait for the world to burn! Billions will die because of you!! You will forever bear the weight of moral condemnation! It will haunt your days and torment your nights, leaving you unable to eat or sleep!"

Moyun roared.

"Nicely put. But I happen to be a man without morals."

Chen Xuan’s tone was nonchalant. "Whoever tries to kill me, I kill them. Don’t prattle on about the bigger picture or some grand righteousness. It doesn’t work on me. So, are you ready to die?"

Grief once again filled the old man’s expression.

Chen Xuan grabbed his head with one large hand and shoved it down with tremendous force.

SQUELCH!

He shoved it down into his own torso until it emerged from between his legs.

The head even blinked. A look of horror flashed across its face before it finally, gruesomely, died.

[You have killed a Longevity Sect elder. Retribution points +100,000!]

Another line of text materialized.

Chen Xuan’s expression remained placid as he shook his hand clean.

’Threaten me with righteousness and the bigger picture?’

’You’re dreaming.’

’You were trying to kill me, dude. And I’m supposed to compromise for the sake of some ’greater good’?’

’Am I a fucking idiot?’

This reminded him of some brain-dead novel he’d read in his past life.

The protagonist commanded an army of 800,000, guarding the border. He had countless loyal confidants, and his soldiers were devoted to him. Yet, with a single decree from the emperor, he drew his sword and committed suicide.

Question: Why commit suicide?

Answer: "I cannot bear to see the people suffer. I cannot bear to see the masses endure the hardships of war. I would rather die to bring peace to the world!"

’Peace, my ass!’

Chen Xuan had cursed out loud back then.

’In the 21st century, who would ever accept that?’

’Except for a few ancient historical figures, of course.’

’Because people back then actually did things like that.’

’But that’s precisely why it’s so frustrating for people in later generations.’

’Why do people read novels? Isn’t it to experience things they can’t in real life? But here I am, reading something even more infuriating than reality itself. You expect me *not* to curse you out?’

’I’d flame you into oblivion!’

’And now you’re trying to pull that morality crap on me?’

’Morality, my ass!’

In any case, Chen Xuan couldn’t care less about any of that.

’You want to take me on? Fine, let’s fight. We’ll see who backs down first.’

’Threaten me with the lives of the common people?’

’You don’t care about them, so why should I?’

He glanced at his status panel again.
