289 Conclusion_1
Scarface was feigning death, but unexpectedly he was struck by a blow from Mo Hua, and involuntarily let out a groan of pain.
However, having been seriously injured by the third Householder’s claw, he was extremely weakened, with a faint breath. Facing Mo Hua, he had no strength to resist. Even after taking a heavy hit from Mo Hua’s Thousand Jun Stick, he could only endure it.
“You little devil, how did you see through it?”
Scarface said through the pain while feeling puzzled.
His Turtle Breathing Method, which could hold his breath and feign death, was something he stole from an old Evil Cultivator.
With that spell, the old Evil Cultivator survived many dangers throughout his life, repeatedly escaping death, which allowed him to live to an old age.
The Turtle Breathing Method was quite rare and few Cultivators could spot any flaws in it. Even the third Householder did not realize it at first.
He couldn’t understand how this young devil, seemingly inexperienced, could see he was pretending to be dead?
Mo Hua snorted coldly but did not feel like answering him.
Now that his Divine Sense had broken through its limits, he already possessed the Divine Sense of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The flow of Spiritual Power in Scarface’s body, although slow, was not sluggish. The minor flows of Spiritual Power were evident to Mo Hua’s Divine Sense, so they could not deceive him.
Moreover, he was a Monster Hunter.
A necessary lesson for Monster Hunters was to see through the feigned deaths of Monster Beasts; how could Scarface’s crude Turtle Breathing Method fool him?
As for the third Householder.
He failed to see through Scarface’s feigned death firstly because his mind was completely focused on Mo Hua, neglecting his perception;
secondly, he was overly confident in his own cultivation, believing that once he made his move, Scarface would undoubtedly die.
Most importantly, he was not a Monster Hunter and lacked the experience to see through feigned deaths.
Mo Hua did not answer Scarface but instead raised the Thousand Jun Stick again, activated the Formation, and proceeded to break Scarface’s limbs one by one.
Scarface was in agony and hatefully said:
“You little devil, we have no grudge or enmity, why must you be so ruthless?”
“No grudge or enmity?” Mo Hua raised an eyebrow and struck down with the stick again:
“What about those women whom you drained to death, those Cultivators you split with a single blade, what enmity did they have with you? Didn’t you still ruthlessly kill them?”
Scarface bore the pain and sneered, “Whether I harvested energy from others or killed people, what does it have to do with you?”
“Guess.”
Scarface’s eyelids twitched; this little devil spoke irrationally. It was impossible to guess what he was thinking, what he intended to do, and he couldn’t even sense the intent to kill.
But he knew in his heart that this little devil was definitely going to kill him!
Why?
He should have never met this little devil before and had no enmity with him.
Scarface couldn’t figure it out and gritted his teeth:
“Tell me clearly where I’ve offended you, so that I can die with my eyes open.”
“I prefer to let people die without understanding why, it saves trouble,” Mo Hua said.
His indifferent demeanor left Scarface at a loss.
Scarface’s thoughts raced, and he suddenly sneered, “You’re not trying to play the hero, are you?”
Mo Hua paid him no attention and started calculating something.
Scarface mocked, “The Cultivation World is all about the survival of the fittest. With your naïveté, you won’t survive in the Tao Cultivation World. You’ll die without a place to bury your body sooner or later…”
Seeing that Scarface kept blabbering even at the brink of death, Mo Hua hit him on the face with the stick again.
“What are you blabbering about?”
Mo Hua thought for a moment, then from his Storage Bag, he took out a handful of Demon Smelly Grass, squeezed out the juice, and dripped it over Scarface, continuing:
“Survival of the fittest is nothing but a deceiving ghost tale…”
“When you’re the strong one, wanting to oppress the weak, you’ll say ‘survival of the fittest’; when you’re the weak one, being oppressed by the strong, you’ll claim ‘Heavenly Dao is fair.’
“Ultimately, they’re just self-serving excuses.”
After squeezing out the juice, Mo Hua threw the remaining Demon Smelly Grass on Scarface, saying:
“And now, the one who is going to die without a place to bury is you…”
Scarface smelled the foul stench on his body and panicked, “What are you doing?”
Mo Hua said, “This is Demon Smelly Grass. Its stench is rotten and will attract Monster Beasts to come and eat you.
“You mentioned ‘survival of the fittest’, so I’m going to let you experience being the prey to ‘the strong’, see if you’ll still speak such words after that…”
Scarface’s eyes showed terror.
“Oh, that’s right,” Mo Hua thought for a moment, then as if realizing something, continued, “You probably won’t have an ‘after’. That can be left for your next life, if in your next life, you’re still able to reincarnate as a human.”
Scarface’s eyes were filled with fury, “You little ghost, your heart is so malicious!”
