Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 476 - 442

Chen Ping’s world had collapsed.

What absurdity and brutality in this world could surpass this moment?

He witnessed with his own eyes that his once frail and helpless fiancée suddenly transformed into a demonic figure, lunging towards his biological brother.

Lady Meng’s appearance was so ferocious.

Her long hair danced like frenzied serpents, her eyes as red as freshly drawn blood, and sharp teeth grew in her mouth.

And on her outstretched fingertips, her nails were a full foot long.

Each nail seemed like a ghastly white blade, glimmering with chilling light, surrounded by black mist.

Behind her, countless branches waved wildly, amplifying her presence, making her as terrifying as a monster from legend.

In contrast, Chen Xu’s body was bound by chains of black mist, his hair ribbon fallen, leaving his black hair disheveled.

Although he had his back to Chen Ping, Chen Ping could not see his expression at the moment.

But even without seeing his face, Chen Ping could imagine the panic, anger, and pallor on Chen Xu’s face. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

To think, just a moment ago, he had been smiling, eagerly speaking about changing into the insoles gifted by his brother and sister-in-law.

His gentle and sincere younger brother, his noble younger brother...

Who would have thought that changing those insoles would not bring familial warmth, but instead evil magic, shackles, and a deadly crisis?

He trusted his older brother so deeply.

How disappointed, how heartbroken must he now be?

And the old Chen Ping, he too had such faith in Lady Meng.

No matter how hard someone tried to convince him, even if they placed a knife at his throat, coerced him, shouted at him, warning him that Lady Meng was not a good person.

He would’ve never believed it.

But now, that trust shattered like an avalanche.

Chen Ping felt his heart break, filled with pain and hatred.

And by putting himself in his brother’s shoes, he thought Chen Xu must be feeling even more pain, even more hatred.

Regret and anguish, feelings he had never experienced, flooded Chen Ping’s heart.

This remorse pressed down on him like mountains, forcing his entire body onto the crown of that peach tree.

Regret for being infatuated with this demoness, for not heeding the warnings of the elders or his parents’ objections and insisting on being with her.

Regret for succumbing to temptation, secretly meeting the demoness in the peach forest at midnight, and then being tricked by her, giving his brother evil items, leading him into crisis.

Regret for being so weak, possessing neither divine power nor magic, that in the face of such life-or-death threats, he had no other means but to grieve and wail.

Regret for...

Chen Ping roared, "Lady Meng, stop, stop! If you want to devour someone, devour me, but don’t lay a hand on my younger brother, do you hear me... ah!"

He seemed to shout so overwhelmingly that his internal organs seemed on the brink of bursting from his chest.

As he shouted, he moved his hands and feet, trying to straighten his body and jump down from the tree to shield Chen Xu from Lady Meng’s attack.

Yet, at such a moment, his limbs felt impossibly heavy.

It was as if his whole body were shackled and chained.

He had no strength, unable to move.

He could only watch, eyes wide open, as Chen Xu narrowly sidestepped Lady Meng’s assaults.

Chen Ping couldn’t even clearly see if Chen Xu was wounded by Lady Meng’s nails.

He only saw Lady Meng’s claws lashing out, again and again, like a torrential storm, striking at Chen Xu.

And each of Chen Xu’s evasions were harrowing escapes.

Gradually, their figures turned into afterimages.

The wind howled as their two figures chased life and death through the peach forest.

Despite Chen Ping repeatedly shouting:

"Lady Meng, stop! If you want to kill, kill me! If you dare harm my brother today, I will repay you with your mother’s life!"

However, Lady Meng’s eyes were already stained with red pursuit, how could she possibly give up over just a threat from Chen Ping?

As the chase continued, a peach tree was occasionally struck.

The snapping and crackling sounds boomed in waves.

Chen Ping saw with his own eyes, as Lady Meng swiped her claw, a peach tree shattered in the night sky, turning into countless fragments.

She collided with a large rock beside a tree, and even that rock exploded with a loud bang, turning into powder on the spot.

Rumble——

The battle grew more intense; Lady Meng cleaved past trees, crushed rocks.

Amongst the gusts and pursuit, the ground exploded into one pit after another.

What mortal power could achieve such might?

Even if you gave Chen Ping a few more heads, he couldn’t imagine any living being in the world capable of this.

Strangely, though, as Lady Meng and Chen Xu chased each other, they always avoided the peach tree where Chen Ping was.

No matter the aftermath of the battle, it never affected Chen Ping’s position.

Chains of black mist cloaked Chen Xu, narrowly escaping Lady Meng’s relentless pursuit.

One chases and one flees, gradually moving further up the mountain forest.

Chen Ping was nearly driven mad with urgency.

Seeing those two figures seeming to grow more distant, Chen Ping feared he might lose sight of Chen Xu’s situation.

But fortunately, for some unknown reason, his originally bound-like limbs finally had strength, able to move.

Chen Ping was overjoyed, ignoring the danger, swiftly leaping down from the tree.

Bang!

He jumped directly from the three-meter-high tree to the ground, rolling as he landed, then sprinting towards the fiercest part of the battle ahead.

"Brother, you must run!" Chen Ping shouted, "Lady Meng, come at me!

If you dare harm my brother, I will dissect you piece by piece, dig out your heart, drink your blood, pierce your marrow.

And bury you in front of a latrine, to suffer eternal filth, never to find peace again..."

He aimed the most vile insults he could think of in a lifetime at Lady Meng.

Hoping she would be infuriated by him, shift her focus from Chen Xu, and instead unleash her anger and intent to kill upon him.

But who knew, even then, Lady Meng refused to spare Chen Xu.

She instead let out a bloodthirsty laugh: "Top Scholar, such great merit, if I devour you today, transcendence becomes but a mere step away.

How can there be never to find peace again?

Fool, if this life grants eternal life, what need would there be for reincarnation? Ha ha ha..."

She laughed.

In the midst of murderous words, her laughter was surprisingly gentle and melodious.

Failing to reach Chen Xu, Lady Meng suddenly changed tactics.

The moonlight, unnoticed, peeked out from the clouds.

The woods in the mountains swayed, and amidst the chaos, Lady Meng abruptly stood still, suddenly calling out to Chen Xu mournfully, "My love..."

The two words were uttered with twists and turns.

Regardless of Chen Xu’s reaction, the pursuing Chen Ping behind unexpectedly stumbled, kicking a stone, and fell to the ground.

How could Chen Ping withstand such a call from Lady Meng?

Even though he deeply hated the demoness in his heart, upon hearing the words "my love," his body involuntarily
