Corrupt God of Path of the Blood
I have revised the fiction and started writing it as a new novel. Those who want to read it can find it by typing Corrupt Cultivation System. This book will not continue. ------- Even the gods could fall. Corrupt One, one of the most powerful gods in the Dimension of the Gods, had the power of hundreds of thousands of believers with the "Blood of Darkness and Fire" Technique he had created. But the jealousy of the other gods united them all against one god, Corrupt One. This battle even caused rifts in the Dimension of the Gods. Realized he could not win, Corrupt One used the power of the believers to resurrect himself in a new body, but this came at a price. He failed to take his memory with himself and was cursed by the shattered part of his soul. Now his soul is condemned to a cruel life. He is still the same person, even if he is unaware of the power he once had. He did manage to bring one thing with him, though. The Corrupt Seal... Will he be able to bring the soul he carries inside him back to its deserved place? Or will the obstacles in his path put him back to the beginning? The story of a young man born from the dead. Only the darkest hearts can become one with demons. --- Author: The protagonist of this story is a young man who has grown up with various psychological problems and traumas. He knows he is weak, but instead of sitting and crying, he uses his intelligence to get what he wants. Of course it will be strong. Even very powerful. But there is a time for everything. The MC receives power not as a gift from heaven, but as a result of his own efforts. He often makes plans that require him to do many things to achieve them. He does not wait for fate to be kind to him. He takes from it what he needs. MC is not a psychopath who kills everyone he sees. However, he is not afraid to kill whoever he needs to in order to guarantee his job. He doesn't care how many deaths are on the way to his goal. At first, the MC may be scared, he may throw tantrums because of what he is going through in his inner world. He is not a robotic MC, completely removed from humanity. He has feelings. He has to deal with psychological problems and fights the stains they leave on his soul. He learns and grows stronger with time. MC is manipulative. The world expands as the story progresses. Not everything is revealed to the reader at the beginning. It is discovered together with the MC. The huge world contains many supernatural creatures, regions, techniques, places and more. If you want to read an MC who is morally corrupt, has psychological problems, cares about his own self-interest, conspires, plans, manipulates people, hides his power when he is strong and reveals it when necessary, you are in the right place. There may be some grammatical mistakes that are not big enough to affect the reading pleasure. It is updated every day.
Queen's Gambit
"Someone had to put a stop to Ou Yu."
Yun Ying listened with a frown but did not reply. Encouraged by this, Huan Wei continued.
"Ever since you took me as a slave, I've seen Ou Yu's bullying. She's like a tyrant, standing over the group. She takes half the loot for herself, even though you do all the work. She kills whoever she wants. She doesn't even give you money if she doesn't feel like it. Haven't you ever wondered what she does with all that money?"
Huan Wei deliberately spoke in a low voice. He didn't want anyone to hear what he was saying. As Yun Ying remained silent, he continued to speak.
"You saw how the men in your team and Lan Xifeng's team look at her. No one likes her. On the contrary, they hate her. On the other hand," The young man moved a little closer to the fat woman. "You can be a much better leader, Yun Ying. People like you. They respect you. If you were to stand against Ou Yu, everyone would stand with you."
Yun Ying finally began to speak. "I should have chopped your head off for saying that."
"But you won't. Because you know that every word that comes out of my mouth is true. You've seen the hatred in people's eyes."
"Fool, Huan Wei." Yun Ying shook her head from side to side. "Do you think you're the first person to think that?"
Yun Ying walked towards her bed. Her back was turned to Huan Wei. "There used to be three leaders. Then one of us tried to oppose her. We're down to two leaders. Ou Yu's Soul Technique, Bloody Push, is a technique that heavily injures those at her level at best."
"That's why you can defeat her, Yun Ying." Huan Wei spoke in a confident tone. "That grasping technique of yours," he said. "You can stop Ou Yu from getting close to you. If she can't touch you, she can't use the Soul Technique."
"She's going to start drawing power from Path of the Blood. It won't take her long to overcome my technique. We're already one stage apart."
"I've thought about that." Huan Wei pulled out the Living Root thorns. "Maybe you haven't been hit by these before, but they are poisonous. I was hit with two, yet my arm was numb for a while. There are almost ten here. It will be enough to reduce Ou Yu's battle power. If you stab her with them using your technique, they will pierce her skin."
Yun Ying was thoughtful. Huan Wei knew she was uncomfortable with Ou Yu. But she didn't seem confident enough to attack him.
"Use your head, Yun Ying," Huan Wei said, smiling. "Lan Xifeng and her men will join you. It won't be hard for you to deal with the people Ou Yu sells to. Because they will look at the product, not the seller. Don't you want to be able to have all the loot instead of just two pieces?"
Huan Wei was making critical points. Ou Yu's loot was a small fortune. Yun Ying's greed had always bothered her. She was doing all the work. Not getting her fair share of the loot always made her angry.
"That was always your plan, wasn't it?" Yun Ying spoke up. "To turn us against each other."
Huan Wei smiled. "If you define being the boss as turning against each other, that's your choice. I'm offering you the opportunity to get out from under Ou Yu. Don't you want to sit in his chair and eat the biggest piece?"
"Wanting is not important. Lan Xifeng will betray me."
"Come on, Yun Ying. What do you think Lan Xifeng can do against your technique? You only need to catch her once. It won't even take you a few seconds to kill her. Are you really afraid of her?"
Yun Ying became silent. Huan Wei was deliberately exploiting her pride. No one would accept humiliation. So almost no one...
Yun Ying took the thorns. She examined them closely. She had never been hit with one of these before. But she knew that they had a numbing effect.
Ou Yu was at the Iron Body level, the third level of Body Tempering. Since she would also gain physical strength from Path of the Blood, they couldn't engage in close combat with her. Yet Yun Ying could stab the thorns into her with her Cheeky Grasp technique. Lan Xifeng's light daggers were also powerful enough to pierce Ou Yu's skin. When the two of them combined, there was indeed a possibility that they could defeat her.
"Have you talked to Lan Xifeng?" Yun Ying asked. Huan Wei smiled again when he saw that she was hooked.
"Not yet. But I'm sure she will help you. She hates Ou Yu as much as you do. So do her men."
"Talk to her and let me know."
Huan Wei nodded and headed for the exit. At that moment, Yun Ying called after him. "Huan Wei."
The young man stopped and turned to look at her.
"If you can't persuade Lan Xifeng," the fat woman frowned. "Go cut your own throat. Make your death painless."
Huan Wei nodded without breaking his smile and left the tent. At that moment, he saw Ou Yu also enter her tent. He felt a momentary uneasiness. But then he started looking for Lan Xifeng.
This time his job was easy. Lan Xifeng was usually in her own tent. So it was not difficult to find her.
"Master Xifeng," Huan Wei called out.
"Come."
When he came in, he saw that she was meditating. Lan Xifeng did not move from her seat. "Did something happen?"
"I have something important to discuss with you."
"About what?"
Huan Wei took a deep breath. He had to choose his words properly. Lan Xifeng was going to be tougher than Yun Ying.
"It's about you reaching your rightful place."
Lan Xifeng seemed intrigued. She got up from the ground and looked at him. "So that's how it is. Speak up."
Huan Wei tried to remain calm. "You are very popular among the bandits. Everyone talks about what a good leader you are."
"Hahhahhaha, yes I am. It's hard not to love me."
"And the men under you know that you get angry when they don't get their due. They tell each other how much you care about them."
Huan Wei wanted to exploit her arrogance. Lan Xifeng was a beautiful woman. Not the most beautiful in the world, yet clearly the most beautiful woman in the whole camp. Huan Wei was sure that many bandits desired her.
The woman smiled. "Get to the point."
"Lan Xifeng," Huan Wei looked directly into her eyes. "I've been here for months. I've seen how much the bandits love you. They respect you."
"Tell me something I don't know, Huan Wei."
"Yes." Huan Wei moved a little closer to her. "Everyone wants you as the boss," he said. "Everyone is fed up with Ou Yu's cruelty. They don't want her anymore. Instead, they want a boss they really love."
"And they sent you to speak?" The woman looked skeptical.
"No one sent me. I came to tell you these things." Huan Wei moved a little closer. "Lan Xifeng, if you were the boss, I would willingly become your slave, and I would gladly follow your every command."
Lan Xifeng looked at him with arrogance. Huan Wei's words pleased her. The young man continued.
"If anyone can bring Ou Yu down, it is you. Only you can defeat her. We will all be behind you. Take your rightful place so we can serve you. Don't let Ou Yu make you her slave."
Huan Wei looked at her with admiration. Lan Xifeng's smile grew a little wider. Like Yun Ying, she had seen the bandits' anger at Ou Yu. Now one of them had fallen in love with her and was practically begging her to take over.
"I'll do anything for you, Lan Xifeng. I even tricked Yun Ying. I told her to take over. She will unwittingly support you in battle. Then you can kill her with the single light dagger. No one can stand against you. I've done everything for you...
"All this time I've been trying to rise among the bandits just to be closer to you. But fate punished me by sending me to Yun Ying's team. I want to be by your side. Please, take control."
Lan Xifeng looked at Huan Wei with disdain for a few seconds. The young man never broke his admiring gaze. "So you tricked Yun Ying, huh?"
"Yes. She thinks she can take over too. But when you kill Ou Yu, I'll sneak up behind her and slit her throat if you want."
"Hahhahhahhahhahaha." Lan Xifeng covered her mouth with one hand and laughed. "I'm already tired of Ou Yu's stupid behavior. Then I accept, Huan Wei. Don't worry, when this is over, you'll take your rightful place."
"Everything is for you."
"Tell Yun Ying to be ready tonight. We'll finish Ou Yu off at dinner."
"As you command."
Huan Wei bowed deeply to her and quickly left the tent. As soon as he stepped out, the admiration in his eyes disappeared, replaced by the chaos-hungry eyes of a demon. The time had come. He was going to get out of this shithole. All that remained was to feed the chaos.
