Chapter 736: Decisive in Slaughter

“Big brother, none of this has anything to do with me. I know I was wrong. I’m despicable, worse than a beast. Please spare me!”

Seeing the increasingly icy gaze in Luo Lou’s eyes and noticing that no one else had appeared, Li Xuan’s heart sank completely. Although his strength surpassed Xiao Ding’s slightly, facing Luo Lou meant only one outcome—death.

“Oh, you admit you were wrong? I don’t recall saying anything yet.”

With a slight lift of his brow, Luo Lou showed disappointment. He knew Li Xuan’s character too well—if the latter had been brave enough to accept responsibility, he might have spared him. But now, Li Xuan had destroyed his final chance.

Only after hearing these words did Li Xuan realize the truth—Luo Lou hadn’t even accused him yet, yet he had confessed everything himself.

He could see Xiao Ding’s gaze turn cold, while Yu Yiren looked confused, seemingly unaware of what had happened.

“I shouldn’t have listened to those people’s persuasion and tried to harm the leader. I had no choice! If given another chance, I would never do it again!”

Since he had already confessed, Li Xuan decided to reveal everything, hoping his big brother might spare him out of brotherhood. As long as he survived, there would always be a chance!

“Having followed me for so long, haven’t you figured out what kind of person I am? I can’t tolerate even a speck of dust in my eyes. Since you made your choice, you must have foreseen the consequence!”

Coldly laughing, Luo Lou felt no pity for Li Xuan—only sorrow. The four of them had ended up in this world together, yet unexpectedly, one had chosen betrayal. Were those interests really that important?

“Brother, please don’t kill me! I’ve already reached the peak of the Tianling Realm. We can definitely return to our original world!”

“Big brother, none of this has anything to do with me. I know I was wrong. I’m worse than an animal, worse than scum. Please, spare me!”

Seeing Luo Lou’s increasingly icy gaze and the fact that no one had come to his aid, Li Xuan’s heart sank completely. Although his strength was slightly superior to Xiao Ding’s, when facing Luo Lou, his fate was sealed—death.

“Oh, so you know you were wrong? I don’t recall saying anything yet.”

With a slight raise of his brow, Luo Lou felt a pang of disappointment. He knew Li Xuan’s character all too well. If Li Xuan had owned up to his actions, Luo Lou might have shown mercy. But now, Li Xuan had squandered his last chance.

Hearing this, Li Xuan suddenly realized that Luo Lou hadn’t even accused him yet—he had already confessed everything.

Li Xuan could see the coldness in Xiao Ding’s eyes, while Yu Yiren looked puzzled, as if she didn’t understand what was happening.

“I shouldn’t have been swayed by those people, shouldn’t have thought of turning against you, big brother. I was forced into it! If you give me another chance, I swear I’d never do it again!”

Since he had already spilled everything, Li Xuan decided to lay it all out. His only hope now was that Luo Lou would spare him out of brotherly loyalty. As long as he lived, there was still a chance.

“After following me for so long, haven’t you figured out what kind of person I am? In my eyes, there’s no room for even a grain of sand. Since you made your choice, you must have thought about the consequences, right?”

Luo Lou let out a cold laugh, feeling no pity for Li Xuan, only sorrow. The four of them had been stranded in this world together, yet one had chosen betrayal. Were those benefits really worth it?

“Big brother, I beg you, don’t kill me. I’ve already broken through to the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. We can definitely return to our original world!”

Ignoring Yu Yiren’s look of disgust, Li Xuan pleaded humbly. He had no choice but to beg for mercy, with no room for hope. This was a matter of life and death—no room for games.

“Too late.” A soft murmur, sharp as a blade, pierced Li Xuan’s heart. Before he could react, he felt a cold sensation at his neck.

The power of the Half-Step Return to Spirit Realm was terrifying to this extent.

With a mere flick of his hand, Luo Lou had rendered a peak Heavenly Spirit Realm expert powerless. As the thin line of blood slowly widened, both Yu Yiren and Xiao Ding could feel Li Xuan’s life force draining away.

It seemed Luo Lou had no intention of sparing the traitor. Hesitation would only lead to greater complications. Killing Li Xuan was no loss to him…

“You can’t kill me! You can’t!” Until his last breath, Li Xuan couldn’t understand why Luo Lou, who had always valued loyalty, would truly strike him down.

Neither Xiao Ding nor Yu Yiren spoke a word. Li Xuan’s actions had earned him death a thousand times over. As his life faded, the two of them felt a strange sense of unreality.

“Ruthless and decisive—no wonder you’ve survived in this world for so long. But some debts must eventually be repaid.”

After dealing with Li Xuan, Luo Lou visibly relaxed. But just then, a voice made his nerves tense again. The reason was simple: even with his strength, he hadn’t sensed someone approaching him.

At this thought, Luo Lou grew wary, but he soon realized that the person standing before him gave him an inexplicable sense of helplessness.

Yet he could clearly feel that this person’s strength was only at the Half-Step Return to Spirit Realm. Why was there such a vast gap between them? When had such a powerhouse emerged in the hidden martial world?

“Who are you, and what brings you to the snowy mountains of the northwest?”

“Just a small figure seeking revenge. Unlike you, I’m not so carefree. If I don’t settle some grudges, I’ll feel uneasy.”

The voice carried a chilling tone, showing no fear despite the three people present. The one who had stepped into the snowy mountains was none other than Old Master Situ. However, this time, the three supreme experts of the Heavenly Alliance were not by his side.

In Old Master Situ’s eyes, dealing with the people of the northwest snowy mountains was something he could handle alone…

When words don’t align, even half a sentence is too much. Knowing Old Master Situ’s intentions, Luo Lou’s expression darkened. It had been many years since anyone dared to come to his doorstep. It seemed his seclusion had made many forget him.

If that was the case, he would make sure the world remembered that Luo Lou was not someone who could be killed so easily.

In contrast, Old Master Situ appeared utterly at ease. How could he possibly take Luo Lou seriously? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come alone…

“Too late!” A quiet whisper pierced Li Xuan’s heart like a blade. Before he could react, a cold sensation suddenly appeared at his neck.

The power of a half-step Guiling Realm was terrifying indeed!

With a mere flip of his hand, a master at this level could render a Tianling peak expert helpless. As the crimson line slowly widened, both Yu Yiren and Xiao Ding could feel Li Xuan’s life force gradually fading away.

It seemed Luo Lou had no intention of sparing the traitor. Hesitation would only place him in a more awkward position. Killing Li Xuan would bring him no loss…

“You can’t kill me! You can’t kill me!” Until his last moment, Li Xuan still couldn’t understand why Luo Lou, who had always valued loyalty and righteousness, would actually kill him!

Neither Xiao Ding nor Yu Yiren spoke a word. Li Xuan’s actions alone warranted death a thousand times. Though they felt a pang of sorrow, only after his breath vanished did they feel a sense of daze.

“Cold and ruthless—no wonder you survived so long in this world. But some debts must eventually be repaid!”

After dealing with Li Xuan, Luo Lou clearly felt relieved. Yet at that moment, a voice made his nerves tighten again. The reason was simple—he hadn’t sensed this person approaching at all, despite his strength.

Thinking this, Luo Lou became alert. But soon, he realized something strange—this person before him made him feel helpless.

Yet he could clearly sense that this opponent was also only at the half-step Guiling Realm. Why such a huge gap? When had someone this powerful emerged in the Hidden Martial World?

“Who are you, and why have you come to my Northwest Snow Mountains?”

“Just a petty person seeking vengeance. Unlike you, I can’t let go so easily. Some grudges left unavenged might make me very uncomfortable!”

The voice carried a chill, unshaken by the presence of three opponents. The one who had entered the Snow Mountains was none other than Old Master Situ, though this time, the three Supreme Elders of the Tian Alliance were not accompanying him.

In Old Master Situ’s eyes, dealing with these people in the Northwest Snow Mountains was something he could handle alone…

No more words were needed. Once Luo Lou understood Situ’s intentions, his expression darkened. It had been many years since anyone dared to attack him directly. It seemed his recent retreat into seclusion had made many forget who he was.

If that were the case, then he would remind the entire world—Luo Lou was not someone anyone could kill at will.

In contrast, Old Master Situ appeared extremely casual. How could he possibly take a single Luo Lou seriously? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come alone…
