--- Chapter 157 ---
"ARRRRRRRRGHHHH!!" Yao Tian screamed at the top of his lungs.
This devil!
If Yao Tian's gaze could kill someone, Baek Ain would die a million times under his hateful eyes.
Baek Ain smiled and casually asked, "Do you hate me?"
"Too bad for you, little genius Yao Tian. My plan is not something you could stop."
"I'll kill you! I'll rip that face of yours and feed it to wild animals!" Yao Tian roared at Baek Ain.
Baek Ain patted his head helplessly as he returned, "Damn, you kissed your mother with that mouth? It's quite filthy."
Yao Tian's forehead jumped in anger. He tried to mobilize every ounce of power and Dou Qi within his body, but Baek Ain's spear stabbed through his chest seems to possess extreme lightning that paralyzes everything below his neck.
Even the Turtle Spiritual Earthly Flame got sealed under the influence of Roc's Spine, acting like stagnant water in Yao Tian's body.
Yao Tian racked his brain, thinking of a way to break this situation.
Unfortunately, Baek Ain won't let him.
Baek Ain wanted to kill Yao Tian, but he must do it perfectly.
With that in mind, Baek Ain smirked inwardly.
Seeing him struggling, Baek Ain faked a sigh and commented, "You know? If you stayed quiet and acted like nothing happened, you'd get rewarded with enough time to plan against my scheme."
"I don't know if this was a blessing or curse for you to have Turtle Spiritual Earthly Flame. The Heavenly Flame really works wonderfully, huh? If only you stayed dormant and let my parasites take control, the Yao Clan would be fine..." A hint of coldness appeared in Baek Ain's voice.
Yao Tian's face darkened, "What do you mean?"
Like a fisherman, who got a bite from a fish, Baek Ain snickered in satisfaction.
Baek Ain stared into Yao Tian's eyes and answered, "Well, I didn't plan to do anything at first."
"But your sudden appearance changes the event."
"Now I had to eliminate everyone who could fight back my parasites' influence, including your sister, Yao Ling'er."
"What a pity, that little disciple of mine is quite a mood changer. She's quite cute and airheaded sometimes."
"Y-YOU!" Yao Tian's heart tightened when hearing Baek Ain's reply.
"YOU DEVIL!"
"BASTARD, I'LL KILL YOU AND SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE!!"
"EVEN IF I DIE, I'LL CURSE YOU IN AFTERLIFE!!!"
Baek Ain chuckled and retorted, "Now you make me want to end the Yao Clan even further."
"With this simple flick..." He raised his left hand and stretched his fingers at Yao Clan. "I can explode every cell within your sister, turning her into a corpse."
"She won't know the cause of her death, but one thing for sure... She died, knowing her older brother tried to kill her teacher."
"Oh my, I wonder if she becomes a ghost with such resentment~!" Baek Ain teased Yao Tian, draining the color from his face.
Yao Tian's body trembled as he cursed at Baek Ain in his heart. He stared at this devil, wishing him to die a painful death.
Yao Tian gritted his teeth under Baek Ain's physiological pressure and opened his mouth, "What do you want..."
"What? I can't hear you?" Baek Ain leaned forward, cupping his hand around his ear. His act infuriated Yao Tian.
Yao Tian coughed blood again and repeated indifferently, "...What do you want?"
Baek Ain smirked and responded, "It's simple, really."
"Be a madman and then do a suicide attack in front of anyone."
"If you do that, not only your sister will be safe. I won't even lay my hand on Yao Clan's members."
"Simple, no?"
"..." Yao Tian stared at Baek Ain in disbelief. Damn it, This guy wanted him to sacrifice his life for the Yao Clan.
How Inhumane!
Still, Yao Tian knew he couldn't refuse Baek Ain's offer.
He must do it.
Yao Tian put on a mocking expression and sneered, "I wonder how people never heard of Black-Hearted people like you."
"Ey, I'm a Kind-Hearted person! I'd not give you this chance if I were black-hearted."
To hell with your kind heart! Yao Tian cursed in his heart again.
Baek Ain ignored Yao Tian's grumbling and explained his brilliant scenario briefly.
Yao Tian's face turned grave like someone had killed his entire family. His bloody chest heaved up and down due to his unbearable frustration.
Baek Ain rubbed his chin, thinking he had become quite a villain.
He grasped the handle of Roc's Spine and reminded Yao Tian, "Act accordingly. If not..."
"I know..." Yao Tian felt the restriction in his body lifted.
He preferred to kill Baek Ain right here, right now. The problem was he didn't know if this bastard placed a hidden mechanism or trigger in his parasites.
He could only accept his fate.
"Oh, by the way..." Baek Ain suddenly glanced at him. "Do you have a favorite weapon that everyone knows?"
Yao Tian sighed and pulled an ancient-looking metal sword made from a rare meteorite from his spatial ring.
"Good, lift it slightly." Yao Tian followed Baek Ain's order.
And to his surprise, Baek Ain suddenly rammed his chest onto the sword and gasped while coughing blood, "You Demon!"
His roar immediately attracted everyone who just arrived at this place.
"Yao Tian! Stop this madness right now!" Yao Dan's frenzied voice abruptly descended to the area. His expression is unsightly when seeing Yao Tian stab Baek Ain's chest.
"Leave Grandmaster Lin alone..."
"Teacher!"
"Brother, how could you!" Yao Ling'er also arrived on time.
Yao Tian blinked his eyes in surprise, seeing Baek Ain bizarrely. This man actually sensed their presence and acted quickly.
'Come on, Young Master Tian... Do your job.' Baek Ain's playful gaze told him. He didn't even bother with the sword in his chest.
Yao Tian clenched his fist and laughed, "Hahaha~!"
"DIE! Taste my sword, you vermin!"
"This is the result of looking down on My Yao Clan!"
BAM!
Yao Tian kicked Baek Ain's stomach and sent him flying. He felt a little satisfaction, but Baek Ain clearly didn't care.
Baek Ain sprawled on the floor like an injured dog and approached Yao Ling'er, who had a worried expression on her beautiful face.
"Teacher, please eat this. Hurry, it could heal your wound." She fed him a recovery pill.
Baek Ain weakly nodded and ate the pill.
He looked at Yao Tian fearfully, but the faint smirk on his bloody face could get seen by the real victim.
How were my acts?
Even Oscar needs me.
Yao Tian felt the complicated feeling surge in his chest. No, it was his blood. He wanted to puke at Baek Ain's shamelessness.
He stared at his sister and said, "Get away from him, Ling'er."
"I want to kill him..."
"How dare he tarnish our Yao Clan." He added with crazed looks.
The Dou Qi around him swirled like a chaotic tornado, making Yao Dan and the elders frown.
One elder recognized Yao Tian's situation and questioned, "This is Qi Deviation. Yao Tian, have you descended into madness?"
"Hmph! He should be! Attacking someone cruelly like this is unbelievable!" Another elder scolded.
"He even dared to accuse Grandmaster Lin of using parasites. No evidence, no reason, just his ego..."
"He has descended into madness, becoming a devil, due to his Qi Deviation."
The elder sighed, "How unfortunate... Yao Tian, you were one of the Yao Clan's pillars. Yet you do this."
"..." Yao Tian.
Hello? I'm this victim here!!
Yao Tian was so angry he started to laugh like a madman.
He released all his Cultivation Base and summoned Turtle Spiritual Earthly Flame to its full force.
Yao Dan and the elders' expressions became solemn as they rushed toward Yao Tian, trying to suppress him.
How could Baek Ain let that happen?
Yao Tian lowered his vigilance and forgot Baek Ain's ability to plant parasites. He suddenly felt a massive force in his body and gratefully accepted it.
Under everyone's eyes, the Young Master of the Yao Clan turned into a fleshy black monster with several red streaks.
Even half of Yao Tian's face was deformed, filled with sharp teeth coated with saliva.
"DIE!!" He charged at Baek Ain, pushing aside several Dou Saints.
This increase in strength alarmed everyone.
Unknown to them and Yao Tian himself, Baek Ain has already planted one of his personal parasites into Yao Tian's body.
'Good job, Regret.'
Yao Ling'er paled in fear, watching the monster that was supposed to be her older brother come in her direction. She looked at Baek Ain in her arms and stood up to shield him.
Was it the parasites inside Yao Ling'er body? Or was she moved by feelings for Baek Ain? She didn't know.
"You even attacked your sister..." Baek Ain coughed profusely.
"Yao Tian, you're Inhumane!"
[...]
"..." Yao Tian.
You're inhumane!
Your father is inhumane!
Your mother too!
No, your entire family is inhumane!
Baek Ain pushed Yao Ling'er away and summoned Gnome's Flame.
"Even if I had to sacrifice my life force, I'll protect my dear disciple."
"Teacher..." Yao Ling'er eyes moistened. She felt touched.
"Grandmaster Lin..." Yao Dan and others clenched their fists in helplessness.
Yao Tian was too fast and strong for them. With Regret(Baek Ain's Personal Parasite)'s buff, his Life Force and Dou Qi Energy compressed to reach 7-Star Dou Saint.
Even Yao Dan, who was in the same realm, felt threatened.
Baek Ain clashed with Yao Tian for a few seconds, receiving several slash injuries all over his body.
They fiercely smashed and burned each other too.
Crack!
Baek Ain's shoulders snapped, "Kuugh."
Yao Tian tackled him and shouted excitedly, "HAHAHA, DIE FOR ME, PUNY MORTAL!"
A burst of energy pulsated in Yao Tian's heart.
A bright light illuminated everyone, mostly Baek Ain.
Baek Ain smiled slightly, watching Yao Tian erupt like a bomb.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
"NOOOOO!" Yao Ling'er was devastated. She lost two most precious people in her life.
Her older brother and teacher.
The shockwave washed them shortly after.
Silence ensued in the area.
A massive crater was "actually." created by the explosion, and a dim Brown-Earth Flame floated silently.
Yao Ling'er wept and saw a silhouette inside the crater. She felt hopeful and jumped straight in alongside Yao Dan and others.
Cough! Cough!
A painful cough entered their voices.
They saw Baek Ain with severe burns all over his body. It's the effect of Baek Ain's skill, Chaotic Mask of the Jester.
There is no trace of Yao Tian as if his body and soul evaporated completely.
"Grandmaster! Teacher!" They come to his side quickly.
They fed him several pills, increasing his recovery speed and stabilizing his condition.
Baek Ain was in miserable condition and said, "Y-Yao Tian..."
"H-He was consumed by his inner devil."
"He even used a Parasite..."
"Yes, Grandmaster Lin. Say no more. We know that he must want to frame you!" One elder raised his voice.
"Yes, that little devil!"
"But he dies for good!" Other elders agreed.
Yao Dan shook his head but nodded eventually, "Brother Lin, Yao Clan will compensate you."
"No, I... I just wanted everyone to forgive Yao Tian. The Qi Deviation he experienced must be gruesome." Baek Ain said in a low voice.
"No, Grandmaster Lin. Please don't try to cover that devil." One elder stood up.
"Yes, yes."
"He has lost his mind."
Baek Ain shook his head and looked at Yao Ling'er, "Sorry, Ling'er."
"Your brother..."
"It's okay, teacher." Yao Ling'er hugged Baek Ain.
"I don't hate you... Like the elders said, my brother. No, the devil has completely lost his mind." She added emotionally.
If Yao Tian knew Baek Ain was still slandering him even after his death, he'd try everything to come back to life.
This guy was the bad guy.
[Host, Please be more humane...] Even Alicia was speechless.
From now on, Yao Clan truly became Baek Ain's possession.
