Chapter 692: The Method

Before Hui, the creatures from the Underworld, led by Black Dragon, battled Tseng Caihong, while the resentment demons rolled forth, getting under her feet and in her way however they could. Hui stood back, watching the fight unfold. He touched the large pill Xi Sanji had brewed, rolling it around in his sleeve thoughtfully.

Struggling up for a moment, from under a deluge of ghosts and resentment demons, Tseng Caihong glared at him. Despicable!

Hui bowed. Thank you, Senior.nove(l)bi(n.)com

I know I couldnt beat her in a fair fight, so why fight fair? Only losers shout about things like honor and uprighteousness. If I have five dogs, Ill fight you six on one. If I have a thousand dogs, its a thousand on one. Evenly matched battles are a good way to die.

Ah, not that I think this is going to finish her off. If it does, thats great, but the odds are against us. Ultimately, Black Dragon and the rest started off dead, and can only exist on this realm, let alone fight, for a limited time. The resentment demons, too, are essentially a wad of trash Tseng Caihong tossed away, and cant be expected to destroy her.

Still, thats fine. I havent used all the tricks at my disposal yet. As long as I tire her out here, my goals are accomplished.

Essentially, Ive developed a series of tests of strength. The longer she fights back, the more tired she becomes, the more she draws on the potential shes stored up, the more she becomes susceptible to my plans. I saw that white flickering in her eyes earlier. I cant handle her at the top of her game, so I wont. No need to!

After all, she had to create dozens of resentment demons to support her continued lifespan. That suggests she burns through a lot of potential just to stay alive. So what about when she fights? She must need an even greater mass of potential to fuel herself. From the beginning, my plans depended on that supposition. Luckily, it turned out to be correct!

That was the gamble, the gamble I didnt want to take. Ah, of course I had backup plans, but luckily, we didnt have to go there, since my guess was right.

When the resentment demons dug up the earth and created more resentment demons, I wonder if that was them digging up the pollution Tseng Caihongs methods created, or if she simply absorbed so many people that the earth around Eight Tiers Palace was full of resentment-corpses shed tossed away? Hui shivered. His thoughts went to the town he and the reaper had visited, and he shivered again. Absorbing entire towns of mortals how vicious. Tseng Caihong must die.

Tseng Caihong slammed her hand on one of the ghosts. The gel encompassed the ghosts body entirely, but nothing happened. White still entwined with the colors in Tseng Caihongs eyes, and the ghost continued to attack.

Tseng Caihong clicked her tongue dismissively. Ill return to the Palace and absorb those idiots. Youve taken nothing from me that I cannot regain.

Its good youre so confident, Black Dragon said.

Hui stepped forward, moving to Black Dragons side. He put a hand on her side. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

In moments, only her head and claw remained. She looked at Hui and nodded. Its up to you now. Punish this woman, and bring my son back to health.

Yes, Hui promised, nodding.

Black Dragon closed her eyes for the last time.

Without hesitating, Hui jumped forward and grabbed for Tseng Caihong. Tseng Caihong pulled away, but too slow, dulled from Black Dragons blow. He grabbed onto her ankles before she could reach the air.

She looked down. How fitting, for a bug to grab at my feet.

Indeed, Elder Sister.

Her palm descended, smashing down on Huis forehead. Hui died instantly.

As he died, his body smiled. Perfect.
