“Malicious?”
Mo Hua snorted coldly, “When you harm others, you don’t find yourself malicious. But when others harm you, you blame them for being malicious. Such double standards are wrong.”
Scarface, aware that his death was imminent, became frightened. His eyes shifted before he pleaded again,
“Little brother… No, young Taoist master, let me go, and I will surely change my ways.”
“Change what?”
Mo Hua began to draw a formation on the ground while casually responding.
“From now on, I will do good deeds, not practice evil skills, and do no evil things!” Scarface said hastily.
“Really?”
“If I break this oath, may the heavens strike me with thunder!” Scarface swore.
Mo Hua appeared hesitant, “Truly?”
Seeing this, Scarface thought there was a chance for survival and immediately said,
“Truly! From now on, I will surely abide by vegetarianism and do good deeds, not doing anything that goes against the Heavenly Dao.”
Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction, “To realize one’s wrongs and mend one’s ways is indeed the greatest virtue.”
Scarface was overjoyed, “Then can you spare my life?”
Mo Hua smiled brightly, “I cannot.”
Scarface was stunned.
“I was deceiving you. To realize one’s wrongs and mend one’s ways is indeed the greatest virtue; that statement is also nonsense. How easy is it to change one’s wrongs? Even dogs can’t change their habit of eating feces.”
Scarface became furious.
This little demon was toying with him!
He struggled to rise but suddenly discovered that at some point, the little demon had laid down a formation beside him, pinning him in place.
The little demon’s idle chatter was meant to lower his guard so that he could lay down the formation, ensuring that he could not struggle and would die a complete death!
The small amount of spiritual power he had barely managed to restore was now completely useless.
Once the Monster Beasts came, he would undoubtedly die!
Scarface fell into despair and glared at Mo Hua with a fierce and resentful expression,
“Little beast, even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go!”
Mo Hua turned a deaf ear.
He had already “consumed” the real little Green-faced Ghost, so why would he fear this fake ghost who pledged to become one but actually could not even manage to be a human?
Scarface wanted to continue cursing, but Mo Hua had finished what he was doing and had no patience for his nonsense anymore.
“Then remember this…”
Mo Hua, holding the Thousand Jun Stick, walked over to Scarface and, looking down from above, said,
“If you become a human, I can make sure you die without a whole corpse; if you become a ghost, I can still disperse your soul!”
“Just wait peacefully for your death!”
Without waiting for Scarface to respond, Mo Hua lifted the Thousand Jun Stick and smashed it down heavily.
With all his might, the powerful strike knocked Scarface out completely.
Mo Hua put away the Thousand Jun Stick and nodded slightly.
Now that Scarface was unconscious, when he awoke, it would probably be to the sight of himself being eaten by Monster Beasts, truly experiencing the “law of the jungle.”
Mo Hua had knocked him out to prevent him from screaming, also to spare him the agony before death.
After all, the wait before death is the most painful.
Mo Hua considered it a “kind” gesture.
After finishing these tasks, Mo Hua sighed again, feeling somewhat downhearted.
He thought again of the woman who had taken her own life in the night.
The living suffered endlessly, and even death was a luxury.
The torments and despair the woman had faced before death, he now let Scarface experience as well.
But with his low realm and limited cultivation, there was only so much he could do at the moment.
Not far off, several Monster Beasts that roamed at night, attracted by the rotten scent of the Demon Smelly Grass and the pungent smell of blood, greedily made their way towards the woods.
Mo Hua had already detected these Monster Beasts with his Divine Sense.
He calmly employed the Concealment Technique, hiding his figure while using the Water Passing Step to swiftly move in a direction devoid of Monster Beasts and the third Householder.
After such a long stay at the Black Mountain Stronghold, enduring many twists and turns, he had now finished everything and was finally able to go home.
And on his way, he no longer needed to have any reservations.
Having penetrated the Contemplation Map, consumed the Green-faced ghost, and assimilated the Divine Thought,
Mo Hua’s Divine Sense was now comparable to that of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and in these deep mountains, there was no one left who could see through his Concealment Technique.
Once he left Black Mountain Stronghold, he would be like a fish returning to the sea.
These Evil Cultivators would find it utterly impossible to locate him again.
