Chapter 329: Why Didn’t You Kill Me?

At first, Shixin watched the couple of cultivators humbly yielding to each other, their affectionate demeanor genuinely touched her heart. She thought that among cultivators, there’s not just killing but also real feelings. When they both rushed towards the Woman in Red Dress, Shixin almost wanted to step forward and help.

But the result was unexpected.

As they approached the woman in red, they suddenly drew their swords against each other!

This completely caught Shixin off guard.

“Clang!”

The long swords of the two collided, and both were thrown back simultaneously.

They stared at each other, all the previous words of “I’m willing to die for you,” now turned into a joke.

Both the man and the woman remained silent, knowing what the other intended to do.

They charged at each other again, their magical arts colliding.

Neither held back, even fighting each other more fiercely than before when killing others. They both wanted to kill the other, take the treasure, and leave alive.

In the end, the man killed his partner, the woman exploding into a mist of blood. He didn’t even spare her Divine Soul, erasing it completely.

“Hahahaha…”

“I am the last one standing!”

“All the treasures are mine now!”

“Hahahaha…”

The man laughed wildly, appearing somewhat insane. Step by step, he walked toward the treasure chests, his eyes filled with intense excitement.

But as he continued walking, his vision became increasingly blurry.

When he rubbed his eyes and opened them again, he saw Ming standing right in front of him.

“You… you’re supposed to be dead! How are you still alive? You…”

Terrified, the man stumbled backward, falling on the ground, trembling fingers pointing at Ming, disbelief filling his expression.

He clearly saw this man and the female monk fall to the ground, their heads cut off.

But why? This man and the female monk had resurrected from death!

“Resurrecting from death, is that so hard to understand?” Ming held his sword and stepped forward. “Compared to that, didn’t you say you’d die together with your partner? Your partner is already dead, so let me help you.”

Ming swung his sword.

The man’s head was severed by Ming, falling to the ground, his Divine Soul destroyed by Ming.

“Hmm~”

When only Shixin and Ming remained, the Woman in Red Dress lazily stretched herself on a rock, her graceful curves fully revealed.

The Woman in Red yawned, “Now all these cultivators are dead, leaving just the two of you. Don’t forget, only one person can leave alive~”

Her gaze carried a playful tone, “So between the two of you, who will be the last one standing? I’m looking forward to it.”

Shixin lifted her head, looking calmly at Ming, without a trace of fear.

Ming turned around and looked at Shixin.

“Let’s get one thing straight, I don’t want to die.” Ming said calmly.

“Amitabha, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.” Shixin clasped her hands together, “If my life can save yours, then this monk is worth it.”

Ming chuckled, “Do you really want to die? Won’t you fight me? Your strength isn’t weak, what if you win?”

Shixin shook her head, “This monk cannot harm others for personal survival. If I don’t enter hell, who will? I hope after you leave, you can do more good deeds and reduce your murderous intent.”

“Are you sure?” Ming, holding his sword, took steps toward Shixin, “If you don’t want to fight me, then I’ll kill you. I don’t want to die, I want to live well, so you’ll sleep here forever, and your pursuit of Buddhism will end here.”

“That’s natural.” Shixin nodded, “I won’t blame you, everything is just my fate. Please proceed.”

“Good!”

Ming reached Shixin, raising his sword.

The Woman in Red Dress thought they would tangle a bit like the previous couple, then slaughter each other.

But unexpectedly, this man named Ming acted decisively, directly attacking his companion.

Even though they weren’t partners, couldn’t he show some mercy for such a beautiful female monk? And this female monk, she didn’t resist at all.

Monks are truly boring beings.

“But it makes sense. Someone with such fierce Sword Qi wouldn’t be sentimental. A young Buddhist disciple who has cultivated to this level wouldn’t be a bloodthirsty killer either. This ending was destined.”

The Woman in Red Dress thought.

Shixin didn’t close her eyes but watched as Ming raised his sword to strike her.

Shixin felt the increasingly sharp Sword Qi gathering on Ming’s sword.

And Shixin clearly sensed Ming’s killing intent.

“He really wants to kill me…”

Shixin thought.

“Amitabha…”

Shixin closed her eyes.

Shixin didn’t know what was wrong with herself.

She had prepared for death.

She had allowed herself to be killed.

But when Ming raised his sword to cut down on her, her heart was filled with a sense of loss and sorrow.

Even Shixin thought, she’d rather commit suicide than die by his sword.

Even Shixin thought, it would be better if he pretended not to want to kill her and then suddenly did, which would be preferable.

Shixin didn’t understand why she had such thoughts.

Shixin knew these thoughts were wrong, but she couldn’t control them.

It was unprecedented.

Ming’s sword fell, Shixin felt the Sword Qi cutting towards her neck, a wound appeared, blood flowing out.

A moment passed.

Two moments.

Three whole moments went by.

Shixin never felt any pain.

Shixin slowly opened her eyes and saw the man smiling at her.

Her eyes wavered, staring blankly at Ming.

“Why didn’t you kill me…” Shixin asked.

Ming just smiled, “I just changed my mind.”
