Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Why? Why kill us?!
"You're a complete and utter failure!" Elizabeth screamed as she turned around and started hitting Felix.
"Didn't you tell me to chase that Boar Monarch Pete back then? Why are you only thinking about running away now?!! "
"You're still the same loser from over two hundred years ago, always hiding behind me, and now you want to hide behind your Sky Sect elders?!!"
"I... I am a failure, Elizabeth, I did it all for you!"
Felix clenched his jaw, his muscles tight as if he was reliving the days when everyone called him a pretty boy. He even thought about killing Elizabeth to stop her from dragging him down, but then he glanced at her swollen belly and took a deep breath instead.
He knew he was truly done for, unable to rid himself of his inner demons, and realized that only their unborn child might represent hope for his future.
Just then, Felix's expression changed as Elizabeth looked ahead at the flying ship, her eyes turning blood red.
Suddenly, a gourd appeared in front of them, and beneath it was a drunken old man with tattered cloth shoes, his black toenails peeking out.
"Yo ho? Isn't this Elder Felix from Sky Sect and Elder Elizabeth from Azure Cloud Pavilion? You weren't this pathetic when you were chasing me back in the day. What happened? Fallen on hard times?"
It was Drunken Fool from Thunderfire Demon Cave, who had gotten a jar of thousand-year-old fine wine from Nathan and was happily drinking it, blocking their path with his drunken gaze.
One hand poured wine into his mouth while the other tapped a broken bowl tied to his waist, complete with a set of shabby chopsticks, a perfect beggar's outfit.
Yet these items were shining with golden light, rising into the air, and the golden chopsticks struck the golden bowl, producing a clear sound that echoed through the heavens, instantly trapping Felix and Elizabeth within a square golden barrier!
"Top-grade psychic weapon, the Golden Source God Bowl, and the Universe Psychic Pivot Chopsticks. Drunken Fool, have you received the legacy of the Divine Beggar?!!"
Elder Felix looked distressed. Back in Cloudview County, there was a Divine Beggar at the peak of Developing Skill, nearly breaking through to Competent, using these very psychic weapons, and no one within Developing Skill could escape them!
But what truly frightened him was not Drunken Fool; he was afraid that Drunken Fool was working for Blackwood!
Elder Felix trembled nervously, looking around.
"Sharp eyes."
Drunken Fool grinned, "Now guess why I'm stopping you?"
But before Drunken Fool could finish, he rolled his eyes.
Someone was approaching from afar, riding the clouds alone.
Carrying a large coffin covered with a white cloth, who else could it be but Nathan?
Drunken Fool grumbled, "The only interesting folks in Blackwood are the saint and that traitor William. Everyone else, from the old to the young, is just so dull. Why do you have to be so ruthlessly efficient? Doesn't even let me have a little fun with these two mutts."
"Blackwood people!"
Seeing Nathan, Elizabeth lost it again. She had received the news about the day Lopez was rushed in, and in that scene, it was Nathan who had commanded the Blackwood folks to execute the kill order!
"Felix, kill this bastard! Go kill him for me, avenge Lopez!" Elizabeth, in her phoenix form, despite being pregnant, still dragged Felix forward.
But...
Felix was sweating bullets, his worst fear had come to pass!
Nathan just glanced at the couple nonchalantly, then, scratching his head in his usual honest and straightforward manner, he awkwardly responded to Drunken Fool, "Elder, enemies meet with particularly red eyes. Next time you bring some good wine, it'll be more interesting."
"Well said!" Drunken Fool's eyes lit up.
"Then, elder, help me hold back this Elder Felix."
"Sure thing."
Drunken Fool took another swig of his drink, but this time he didn't swallow it. Instead, he sprayed it towards Elder Felix in the distance, and after spraying, he complained, "Ah, what a waste of good wine."
Despite his words, Drunken Fool, at the peak of his Developing Skill, turned the sprayed wine into nine roaring dragons that charged at Elder Felix! ???!???@??
The two were already battling elsewhere.
Drunken Fool even had the leisure to look back at the phoenix form Elizabeth, who had already launched an attack, and Nathan, who was unhurriedly unwrapping a white cloth, "Lord Blackwood, can you handle it? That's a mid-stage Developing Skill."
Ethan was also watching all this. Over the years, Nathan and Luna had been inseparable, not neglecting to cultivate their psychic powers, but upgrading to a D-level wasn't that easy.
But...
"No, can't beat her."
Nathan honestly replied, watching the phoenix shadow approaching, he slowly opened the coffin, his gaze and voice both cold, "But I have the protection of the Forebearer, and..."
The attacking Elizabeth suddenly froze in her psychic powers.
Under Nathan's feet, a magic circle rose, and an endless death aura filled the air, as ghosts climbed out from the circle!
It was the inheritance of the Direct Death Coffin, the Soul Hooking Calamity Formation!
He could see.
See the terror in Elizabeth's eyes, and the momentary pause in her gaze.
Those ghosts of the dead...
"I fight with the souls of those Lopez took with him!"
Nathan's voice was deep with a chilling undertone, like a death god from the underworld, his eyes filled with satisfaction, an Energy Stone floating in the air, recording this moment, "Elizabeth, you killed our Blackwood kin. And now, we Blackwood have slain your entire clan."
"You might not know what happened that day, but I can tell you, the Lopez folks didn't even know why we stormed into their house, why we had to be so cruel. "
"Do you know the old ancestor of Lopez? Right, I checked later, it was your second son. "
"Do you know how he questioned me when he saw the Lopez family destroyed?"
"He said, 'Lopez and us have no grudges, why did we commit such slaughter?'"
At the Rodriguez house, Nathan couldn't even bear to kill the children.
Now.
His words, like the most ruthless reaper from the underworld, watching Elizabeth become increasingly terrified and panicked, brought him an indescribable pleasure, "I couldn't answer, maybe you can explain to them. By the way, we Blackwoods are still kind, at least we didn't torture them all the way, they died cleanly."
As soon as he finished speaking.
More and more souls of the Lopez people gathered, moving towards Elizabeth from the formation, their claws outstretched, like spirits coming to claim lives.
"Why? Why kill us?!!"
"Help! You are the Forebearer, our Forebearer at the Azure Cloud Pavilion! Tell me, why did they want to kill me? Bring me back to life, Forebearer!"
"How did I die? It's so dark here, I'm so scared."
"..."
The demonic voices of the dead broke into Elizabeth's ears one by one.
During the Lopez massacre, Nathan had already used the Heavenly Coffin technique to detain the souls of the Lopez people. That day, at the corpse scene, he had placed the souls of others, and these... were reserved for today!
Elizabeth trembled all over, desperately covering her ears, watching the souls of the Lopez people approaching, her second son leading the way, reaching out to her, she finally went mad.
"No! It's not my fault, don't come for me!"
Beneath the crazed Elizabeth, conspicuous blood slid from the red shoes, dripping drop by drop towards the ground.
