(OLD/NOT CANON) Immortal Ascension Tower

Chapter 18 - (Title At The End)

"Wait! We must use her as an hostage for Cheng Hao! We will kill her once we kill him!" The man suddenly thought of something "But I won't stop you if you want to have some fun with her! You are twisted bastards but I have no prejudice against those who help me! Do what you want with her! Her... 'Brother' will also come out faster this way!"

...

In a dark space protected by a golden wall of light, a body was sitting in the middle of the room. His mouth was open and he kept chanting something. The speed was incredibly fast and in the space of a breath, he had already chanted a few phrases at once. He had kept going at it for days, so how much had he been speaking already?

Following the rhythm of the countless sentences was a vortex of black and white gases. It moved at the same speed of the figure's chanting, completing one turn each time the silhouette said a word.

...

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Xiao Wu that had been blindfolded immediately opened her mouth to scream.

...

The figure seemed to have reached an important point as the speed slowed down and the words could finally be heard clearly

"... So, black and white, death and life are opposites.

Two opposites, two faces of a medal, two worlds."

...

Xiao Wu screamed in pain as tears welled up in the corner of her eyes "Brother! Quick, run aw-!"

...

"Death does not scare me and Life does not faze me"

Because Death makes me want to Live.

Because Life makes me want to not Die"

...

Her screams were cut off as she was gagged. Her robes were torn off leaving her with only a t-shirt and a pair of pants on.

...

"Life is also not Death so Death is also not Life.

Two opposites, yet the same! Life! Death!

I am Life. I am Death! I am Life AND Death!"

...

She started to cry and one of her tears touched the ground.

One of the black clothed men's hand approached the remaining clothing to rip it away and show the white skin below it...

...

The chanting finally stopped as did the swirling black and white vortex. The gases entered the closed eyelids, the black gases went into the right eye while the white gases went into the left one.

Two eyes opened in the dark. The right eye was black while the left eye was white. Two eyes glowed in the darkness of the room. Although the hurricane of black and white gases had been absorbed, a new hurricane formed... It was composed fully of killing intent!

...

"Aaaaagh!" The severed hand flew up in the sky and fell back down. A flash of black and white light appeared and something caught the chopped hand in midair. That blur turned into the figure of a young boy. The child slowly lifted his head...

His figure was totally black as if it had been in the darkness for so long that it couldn't live in the light anymore. On its head there was no nose or mouth but there where two closed eyelids from which faint white and black gases fumed out.
