Chapter 309 – Incineration

Murong Jing never expected that just when she was feeling a bit confused, the original owner would suddenly appear and ask for help.

Her recent disguise had been completely ruined.

Everyone could see her abnormal behavior at that moment.

What was she supposed to do now?

Indeed, Murong Jing’s sudden and strange change had shocked everyone present.

However, apart from Wei Rou, the others were experienced individuals.

Though they were shocked, they quickly accepted it.

Especially since they had previously encountered Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao was just another soul occupying the original Jiang Xiao’s body, while the original owner had disappeared.

Murong Jing’s current situation seemed quite similar to Jiang Xiao’s.

The difference was that the original Murong Jing was still present!

At this moment, they saw Murong Jing’s facial expression return to its previous cold, emotionless state, even with a hint of ruthlessness. They realized that the original Murong Jing’s soul had been suppressed by her.

Seeing that her situation had been exposed, the external Murong Jing seemed to have no intention of hiding anymore.

She knew that no matter what she said, these people wouldn’t let her leave.

So, she had to escape now!

This was her only chance!

But her hands and feet were shackled, making it impossible to cast spells.

In desperation, Murong Jing thought of one solution.

She would use her heart’s blood.

The next second, Murong Jing forced out a mouthful of her heart’s blood and muttered some words. After she finished the incantation, her handcuffs and ankle shackles suddenly broke open.

This action stunned everyone around her.

It also made them realize her danger.

“Everyone, be careful! She knows dark magic!”

Murong Jing wanted to break through the crowd’s blockade and leave. She directly swung her palm, and those in her way were sent flying.

“Hmph, do you mortals think you can stop me?”

“I, Murong Jing, come from the cultivation realm. Not only do you not treat me as an honored guest, but you even try to capture me. Such ingratitude!”

“Today, I’ll show you my power.”

As she spoke, Murong Jing had already injured several people in succession.

Murong Jing’s attacks were ruthless and deadly.

Those she struck fell to the ground, spitting black blood, unable to rise again.

“Draw your guns!” Left with no choice, the others drew their guns.

One by one, dark gun barrels were pointed at Murong Jing.

Having never seen guns before, Murong Jing didn’t know what they were.

Since her arrival in this world, Murong Jing had been figuring out how to absorb others’ lifespans and fortunes. She enrolled at Beijing University to be among those with greater fortune.

Thus, she was unfamiliar with many things in this world.

She didn’t understand what it meant to have those gun barrels aimed at her.

“Murong Jing, surrender, or we will shoot you on the spot.”

Murong Jing could sense that the dark objects in their hands had no spiritual power, just some metal contraptions.

How could such things harm her?

So, Murong Jing paid them no mind and struck again.

The next second, with a bang, a bullet hit Murong Jing’s leg.

Murong Jing felt intense pain in her leg and saw that it was bleeding and immobile.

Her eyes widened in shock.

How could it be possible? How could such a small thing injure her?

Murong Jing wanted to use her soul to expel the object and heal the wound.

But she forgot that she was no longer using her body from the cultivation world. This body was one she had taken over, and even though she had possessed it, it remained that of a mortal.

This meant it could be easily injured, bleed, and even die.

But should she surrender?

No.

If she surrendered now and gave up, she couldn’t imagine what kind of life she would lead.

She might be imprisoned, tortured, or worse.

None of these outcomes were acceptable to Murong Jing.

Even death was preferable to that.

So, she decided to fight!

She refused to believe that these small objects could both injure and kill her.

Even if this body died, as long as her soul remained, it didn’t matter.

So, Murong Jing forced out more of her heart’s blood, and the black mist from her palm grew thicker.

Even when a bullet struck her shoulder, she still managed to strike the person blocking her path in the chest.

That person spat out black blood and died on the spot!

“Don’t hold back, shoot to kill!” The death of their comrade made the others realize Murong Jing’s uncontrollable and ruthless nature.

Murong Jing could not be spared.

All the gun barrels aimed at Murong Jing fired simultaneously.

Although she wasn’t hit by every bullet, many struck her, several hitting her chest.

Murong Jing’s body stiffened.

Her eyes widened.

She looked down at her chest, at the blood flowing out, and the intense pain made her realize she was close to death.

No, to be precise, it was this body that was failing.

This was the body she had painstakingly possessed, the one most compatible with her soul.

Fine, if it couldn’t hold up, she would abandon it.

Murong Jing lifted her head and laughed heartily, “Do you think you can kill me like this?”

“Foolish dreams.”

“Remember this: when I, Murong Jing, return, it will be the moment this world ends.”

With that, Murong Jing’s soul detached from the body.

Her body’s eyes closed, and it slowly fell to the ground.

No one could see Murong Jing’s soul.

She longed to kill those before her but knew she couldn’t.

Now, she needed to find another body compatible with her soul and cultivate again.

Revenge could wait until she regained her strength.

However, just as Murong Jing’s soul began to fly away, a sudden purple-gold light appeared from nowhere and enveloped her soul.

The purple-gold light surrounded her like a flame, burning her soul.

“The Golden Light of Merit, how could it be here?”

“It hurts, it hurts so much.”

“No, spare me, spare me…”

Murong Jing begged into the void, but there was no response.

When the Golden Light of Merit enveloped her soul, everyone saw it.

“Look, what is that!”

“Isn’t she dead? What is this? Could it be her soul?”

“Is her soul burning?”

Murong Jing was truly panicked now.

The pain of the soul far exceeded the pain of the body by a hundredfold.

She kept begging for mercy because she knew that if the Golden Light of Merit continued to burn her, she would truly be annihilated.
