Chapter 297 Heart Tribulation
"The thunder tribulation has passed, and the next one is the heart tribulation."
Ran came to the white fox, then sat cross-legged on the ground casually, guarding quietly.
Because of the existence of the heart tribulation, the Nascent Soul stage has become a watershed between ordinary cultivators and powerful ones.
If one can successfully overcome it, then one's Tao heart will be fulfilled and the path of cultivation in the future will be much smoother; but if one cannot overcome it, then it is doomed that one will never be able to make any further breakthroughs in this life.
"Mother...Mother, I've bought the blood...blood-skin grass. Please wait a moment, I'll make it for you..."
Ye Xiaoxiao hugged a tattered little wooden box tightly, her steps were hurried, she stumbled all the way, and finally rushed into the dilapidated old house.
But the scene before her was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart.
In the old house, a woman was lying straight on the ground with a sharp sword deeply stuck in her chest. The bright red blood had long since dried up, leaving a dark bloodstain on the ground.
Ye Xiaoxiao froze in place, the wooden box in her hand falling to the ground with a "clack". Her lips trembled, and she tried to make a sound, but no sound came out.
"Sister, didn't I tell you to exchange my heart for the blood-stained grass to save mother? How did she die? Did you exchange my heart for something else?"
That weak and hateful voice came from the ground.
Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly lowered her head and saw a young man crawling on the ground, his face as pale as paper, without any blood.
His eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness. He grabbed Ye Xiaoxiao's feet, and his fingertips were so hard that it seemed as if they were going to dig into her flesh.
The boy's chest was empty, and bright red blood was gushing out, staining the ground beneath him red. The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Ye Xiaoxiao only felt a buzzing sound in her head, as if it was hit hard by a sledgehammer, and she was completely stunned.
She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but her throat seemed to be blocked and no sound came out.
The scene before her made her heart feel as if it was being pierced by countless steel needles, and the pain spread throughout her body.
"No... No, I really exchanged your heart for the blood-stained grass, I..."
Ye Xiaoxiao finally found her voice and explained incoherently with tears in her tearful voice, tears streaming uncontrollably.
"You're lying. If you really had changed, how could your mother have died? You killed her."
The boy didn't listen to her at all. The hatred on his face became more and more intense, and he roared loudly.
"No...it's not...it's not me, it's...the toad demon, yes, it's the toad demon!"
Ye Xiaoxiao seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, her voice was sharp and trembling, and her eyes were full of madness and paranoia.
"I remember now. It was the Toad Demon who killed my mother. Revenge! I want revenge!"
The hatred spread rapidly in her heart like a raging fire, completely devouring her rationality.
Ye Xiaoxiao only felt the scene in front of her eyes change, and after a dizzying moment, she shuddered suddenly. When she looked closely, she found that she was surrounded by countless toad monsters.
These toad monsters are ugly in appearance, with their bodies covered with large and small bulging pustules. Some of the pustules are still oozing black-green juice and emitting a disgusting stench.
"You're just a lowly half-demon."
"You're just like your lowly human mother."
"Low! Low! Low!"
Those harsh insults were like sharp blades, piercing straight into Ye Xiaoxiao's heart.
Her eyes instantly turned red with hatred. She was already full of hostility, and now she was like an enraged trapped beast, charging towards the group of toad monsters with a fierce momentum.
However, her attacks seemed futile. The toad demons continued to attack, one after another. As more died, more came forward, and the more they were killed, the more they were killed. From each of them, vicious curses gushed out continuously. The curses were like a surging tide, wave after wave, growing louder and louder.
"Just because you're a half-demon, you think you can avenge your lowly mother? That's just wishful thinking!"
"Once you're a half-demon, you'll be a half-demon for life!"
……
"I want you all to die!"
Ye Xiaoxiao shouted at the top of her lungs, charging recklessly into the herd of toad monsters. But no matter how hard she tried, the toad monsters continued to pour in, their insults becoming more and more arrogant.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Ye Xiaoxiao's arms had already become so sore that she had lost feeling, and her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, making every step she took extremely difficult.
Her body was covered with wounds of all sizes, and blood was flowing out, staining her originally snow-white clothes red.
The venom sprayed by the toad monsters left shocking black spots on her skin and sent waves of bone-gnawing pain.
However, her consciousness gradually became numb, and the insults that were like a tide in her ears seemed to become distant and vague.
Despite this, she continued to kill. The toad demons seemed endless, surging forward one after another, falling at her feet in droves. The toad demon corpses piled up around her, emitting a sickening stench.
"Lowly half-demon..." "As lowly as your mother..."
Occasionally, a few vicious insults would still reach her ears, but there was no reaction on her face.
She had only one obsession in her heart, and that was to kill all these hateful toad monsters and avenge her mother, although she herself didn't know when this killing would end, nor did she know how long she could hold on.
Ye Xiaoxiao swung out another palm, and the palm wind was fierce. Wherever it went, countless toad monsters flew out like kites with broken strings, drawing ugly arcs in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
This blow seemed to have exhausted her last bit of strength. Ye Xiaoxiao's body swayed, and the light in her eyes dimmed instantly. She could no longer hold on, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground exhausted.
Ye Xiaoxiao lay on the ground, looking at the gray sky above her head, her eyes empty and confused.
Her body was already riddled with wounds, and every wound ached slightly, but she didn't feel much pain, as if her body no longer belonged to her.
The vicious insults were still echoing in her ears, but the hatred in her heart was gradually replaced by fatigue at this moment.
"Am I going to die here..."
A wave of sadness welled up in Ye Xiaoxiao's heart. She was unwilling to die like this. She had not yet avenged her mother and made those who hurt them pay the price.
But at this moment, she no longer had the strength to resist and could only watch the toad monsters getting closer and closer, her heart filled with despair.
"I'm sorry, brother. It's my fault that I don't have the ability."
"I'm sorry, mother, I can't avenge you."
"I'm sorry, sir, but I can't keep my promise to become stronger and protect you."
"Wait, who is this young master..."
Ye Xiaoxiao's consciousness was already a little fuzzy, but this question was like a ray of light, causing Lin Chuan's voice and appearance to suddenly appear in her chaotic mind.
