Chapter 179: Training Wu Bingqing

Wu Bingqing held her head in both hands, her clear eyes filled with visible terror.

It seemed she was recalling some terrifying memories, as she shook her head repeatedly, muttering painfully to herself, "I don't want to kill either, but those memories, they drill into my mind, so many, so many memories, making my head feel like it's about to explode, so many people, so many people by my ears, telling me to kill, kill, kill."

"I have no idea what I did at all. By the time I regained consciousness, there were already corpses everywhere."

In the frozen, snowy world, Wu Bingqing curled up her petite body, shivering.

Where was there any trace of the peerless fierce god's bearing?

She was clearly just a frightened little beast, wanting only to curl up in her little nest, peacefully and dutifully wrapping herself up completely.

Inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, Leng Li sighed helplessly, "This is the fate of the Soul-Devouring Body. Don't be fooled by the inhuman strength of the Soul-Devouring Body; in reality, once it absorbs too many evil thoughts, the host simply cannot control that monstrous desire to kill."

"The Soul-Devouring Bodies that have appeared in the past were all one in a million among Prodigies. Strong experts would avoid them at all costs. They might look imposing, but the pitiful reality is something only they themselves can understand."

"The most desolate are those Soul-Devouring Bodies who, while in a clear state of mind, die at the hands of their closest kin."

"Don't look at the fact that Wu Bingqing is currently the third of the Seven Pearls of Mingyue; it is highly likely that in the future, she will not die at the hands of enemies, but at the hands of Empress Mingyue."

Qin Xuan accepted this without objection.

After all, such a peerless fierce god could not even control her own desire to kill.

Wherever she was, she was a source of calamity.

If one wanted stability, getting rid of her completely before she became uncontrollable was the most prudent approach.

The previous Wu Bingqing, surely without the Realm of a Peak Quasi-Saint, had already been capable of slaughtering an entire city.

If she were to advance to the Saint King Realm, wouldn't she directly destroy half of the Mingyue Dynasty?

How could Empress Mingyue sit by and watch something that would destroy her own Foundation happen!

Looking at Wu Bingqing, who was trembling with terror, Qin Xuan racked his brains to comfort her, "Others wanted to lay hands on you, wanted to hurt you; you killing them was entirely justified."

"Even if you went a bit too far later on, it was manipulated by those evil thoughts. At that time, you were no longer the main consciousness of this body."

"The ones who should be held responsible for these slaughters are those evil thoughts, not you."

Whether it was sophistry or quibbling, what Qin Xuan needed to do was comfort her, to give Wu Bingqing a sense of favoritism, or perhaps one could call it partiality.

He wanted to give Wu Bingqing the feeling that he was different from everyone else.

Otherwise, how could he make Wu Bingqing feel that he was unique and irreplaceable?

It was precisely to comfort Wu Bingqing that his words were so gentle.

What if it were him?

To kill one person is a crime; to kill ten thousand is a hero; to kill a million is a hero among heroes.

If he didn't kill others, they would kill him.

Was he supposed to just go die himself?

Isn't that bullshit?

As for psychological burden?

As a major villain, what kind of psychological burden would he have!

Through the flickering firelight, Wu Bingqing stared straight at Qin Xuan with her clear eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and curiosity, "Qin Xuan, you are different from them. Everyone else fears me, is terrified of me, afraid that I will go mad and kill someone in the next second."

"But when you are with me, you aren't afraid of me at all, and you even comfort me."

Those fragmented memories were all lonely and cold.

Even her own kin had abandoned her.

As for irrelevant people, upon seeing her, they would avoid her from far away.

Even the eldest sister among the Seven Pearls of Mingyue seemed to tell her to stay away from the other sisters.

Leaving her all alone, placed within the Butian Holy Land.

Fearing she would harm the other sisters.

Only Qin Xuan did not fear her, and even looked in her direction time and time again, staring at her chest.

Qin Xuan flicked his finger, and the Pure Phoenix Flame transformed into a gentle fireball, hovering around Wu Bingqing.

Giving her a bit of warmth in this frozen, snowy world.

It was as if she had been wrapped in a Sacred Artifact robe to resist the wind and snow.

"Others fear you because they don't understand your Soul-Devouring Body. In my view, your Soul-Devouring Body is a one-of-a-kind, special Physique. Not only can it explosively increase combat power, but it also allows you to act as if you've been injected with adrenaline during battle, forgetting fear and charging forward."

"If you can control it further, you won't need to suffer the side effects of being manipulated by evil thoughts. It can be said that your Soul-Devouring Body ranks among the best on the entire continent!"

Wu Bingqing nodded her little head quite seriously, her large, clear eyes staring longingly at Qin Xuan.

Resting her chin in her hands, she listened without blinking.

It was as if she were saying: "That sounds good, I love hearing it."

"You speak well, say a few more words."

Where had she ever had the opportunity to have such a heart-to-heart talk with a normal person before?

Others seeing her would avoid her by a hundred yards, already worried about being held in her grudge.

Only Qin Xuan, not only did not fear her Soul-Devouring Body, but instead praised it with sound reasoning.

Even she had never thought that the Soul-Devouring Body had so many unknown benefits.

Qin Xuan continued to bluff, "If you can let the evil thoughts boost your combat power to a certain degree without affecting your main consciousness, then the drawbacks of the Soul-Devouring Body will be completely eliminated. Not only will you not harm innocent people and feel guilty, but you will also be able to avoid the period of frailty that comes after your body overloads and you fall into a new round of amnesia and Realm regression! This will save you from being coveted by others."

Wu Bingqing shook her head dejectedly, "There's no way to do that. Even Her Majesty the Empress cannot do it, including Great Emperor Ziyang; they cannot do it either."

Qin Xuan rolled his eyes, "Just because they can't do it doesn't mean I can't. This isn't a life-or-death battle where you compare Realms or cultivation; it's about comparing methods."

He struck out with a palm from a distance.

With a loud boom, the ice spikes high in the distance shattered on their own, and the Ice Beast sealed within roared, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, pouncing toward where Qin Xuan and Wu Bingqing were, opening its blood-stained maw.

Qin Xuan urged Wu Bingqing, "Go, kill it!"

In just less than half an hour, Wu Bingqing's body had recovered rapidly, and her Realm had even crossed over to the Yin-Yang Realm.

Dealing with one Ice Beast of the Yin-Yang Realm was not a big problem.

Wu Bingqing stood up, holding her long sword, her body wreathed in clusters of Pure Phoenix Flame, and rushed against the flow toward the Ice Beast.

It took fully dozens of rounds for this peerless fierce god to barely manage to kill the Ice Beast.

When she returned, there was a trace of bloodshot in Wu Bingqing's clear eyes.

Qin Xuan smashed several more ice spikes in succession, freeing the Ice Beasts sealed within, and pointed, saying, "Kill them too."

Wu Bingqing obediently listened, turned, and rushed toward the Ice Beasts again.

How to put it?

It should be attributed to the fact that Wu Bingqing had killed too many people and an absurd number of Yao Beasts in the past.

Just using a few Ice Beasts for practice seemed to let her gradually regain the decisiveness in killing that she had lost.

Her moves became increasingly exquisite, like a skilled butcher dismembering an ox, becoming more and more practiced.

Finishing off an Ice Beast of the same Realm went from taking dozens of rounds to needing only ten moves, and finally, a single sword strike to finish it.

Qin Xuan continued to search for suitable Ice Beasts for Wu Bingqing to practice with.

One hour, two hours... five hours.

The number of Ice Beasts Wu Bingqing slaughtered grew and grew, passing a thousand, then ten thousand.

The evil thoughts accumulated in the subconscious of the Ice Beasts were all absorbed by Wu Bingqing's Soul-Devouring Body.

Those clear eyes were no longer to be seen.

Returning to the indifference that despised human life.

The heavy and familiar sound of breathing returned once more.

Wu Bingqing returned to Qin Xuan's side, and with the support of the evil thoughts and the recovery of her Realm, her current combat power was approaching the Peak of the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Haa! Haa—

Wu Bingqing's breathing became increasingly rapid, her eyes were completely blood-red, and the long sword she held was dripping with bright red blood that had turned into blood crystals, falling with a rustling sound.

She hung her head, suppressing the murderous ferocity in her heart, not daring to look at Qin Xuan, and urged, "You go! Leave quickly!"

Qin Xuan asked back with amusement, "Why should I leave? Isn't this the effect we wanted?"

With a thought, the Pure Phoenix Flame wrapped around Wu Bingqing's body flared up.

Burning away the remnant souls and evil thoughts attached to her body.

Making the murderous ferocity in Wu Bingqing diminish significantly.

Qin Xuan struck again, shattering thousands more ice Peaks.

In Wu Bingqing's beautiful eyes, the bloodthirsty and ferocious gaze fluctuated violently.

She shook her head in resistance, "No, you cannot continue anymore. I cannot kill anymore. If this continues, I will kill you too!"

"I am not as easy to kill as you think, and I will not let those evil thoughts manipulate your consciousness anymore." Qin Xuan said earnestly, guaranteeing, "From now on, you are only Wu Bingqing, and you will never be controlled by any evil thoughts again!"

"I will give you a gift." Qin Xuan used his hand as a blade and slashed sharply at his own left arm.

Clutching his blood-dripping left arm, Qin Xuan handed it to Wu Bingqing, saying, "Keep it with you."
