Without a second thought, Chu Jinghong rushed out of the room. His movements were swift and decisive, and he chased all the way to the back mountain where he usually practiced martial arts. Every tree and every stone was deeply engraved in his mind.
"Show yourself!"
He stopped under an ancient tree, his voice steady and majestic.
The night wind blows gently through the treetops, as if whispering some unknown secret.
A figure slowly descended from the treetops. He was wearing a leather jacket, and his eyes were filled with surprise and provocation. "So it's you?"
"You are the member who escaped, right?"
Chu Jinghong looked coldly at the stranger before him, a hint of contempt on his lips. "Since you've already escaped, why do you still want to live?" His heart was filled with doubts. Logically, in this situation, he should have hidden himself.
But this person not only did not run away, but also took the initiative to find trouble.
"escape?"
The man laughed self-deprecatingly, but his expression was resolute. "I'll go to hell with you!"
Before he had finished speaking, he had already begun to unbutton his clothes, clearly preparing for a fight.
Chu Jinghong shook his head and sighed, "Alas... Life is so precious and short, why does it have to come to this?"
Faced with the other party's persistence, he was both puzzled and regretful.
After all, the challenge was initiated by the other party, and you are just defending yourself.
But from this person's behavior, he seemed to see some elusive emotional fluctuations, which made people feel confused.
What is the Jianghu? It's nothing more than the survival of the strong and the disappearance of the weak.
In Chu Jinghong's eyes, the world follows a cold but clear rule: victory means life, defeat means death. When facing a strong opponent, he never complains about fate or circumstances, but only reflects on the shortcomings of his own skills.
The man clenched his fist like iron, making a sharp sound as he lunged at Chu Jinghong. However, the latter merely sidestepped slightly, swaying like a willow branch in water, effortlessly avoiding the attack. "A bit too slow!" His words were filled with dissatisfaction with the opponent's speed and strength. After several fierce collisions, the attacker didn't even touch the edge of his clothes.
To Chu Jinghong, every enemy move seemed to be delayed and displayed, allowing him to not only predict the next move but also the entire plan. No matter how cleverly the opponent concealed their moves, they had no secrets before Chu Jinghong's piercing eyes.
The situation suddenly changed in an instant. While the provocateur's fist was still lingering in the air, Chu Jinghong had already quietly moved behind him. The attack that should have been powerful now seemed hollow and powerless, posing no threat at all.
"Strange... How could my hand..." Just as the man was confused, Chu Jinghong elegantly wiped the exquisite short knife in his hand, put it in his arms, and smiled coldly: "Do you know the red spider lily?"
"Mysterious thing!!!" The man finally showed a look of panic after realizing that the situation was extremely unfavorable to him.
"Legend has it that on the road to another world grows an unusually bright yet alluring flower, which people call 'the other shore flower'."
As Chu Jinghong spoke slowly and meaningfully, a loud noise was heard.
When the dust settled, people discovered that the man's body was fixed in place by a thick tree trunk piercing through his chest, and blood was flowing continuously along the edge of the wound.
At the same time, a withered red spider lily was inserted near the victim's heart.
The amazing thing is that as the blood slowly nourishes the petals, the flowers gradually come back to life, presenting an extremely gorgeous picture.
A unique fragrance filled the air, attracting countless tiny black shadows that slowly approached, moving along the moist path until they penetrated deep into the skin and began to erode... Such suffering was far more cruel than ending life immediately.
In order to prevent anyone around from hearing any painful moans, Chu Jinghong stuffed the man's mouth with a wet cloth that was breathable and not likely to cause suffocation.
Even if he suffered countless indescribable tortures, this person was unable to send out a distress signal, leaving behind the most painful memory at the moment of death.
Chu Jinghong clapped his hands lightly, a hint of irony on his lips, "Are you calling me a lunatic?"
His tone was cold and sharp, like an invisible blade cutting through the air. "My mercy is never wasted on people like you."
In fact, Chu Jinghong is not a person who enjoys killing, but if he has to take action, he will choose a very skillful method.
Such means can make people feel more deeply fearful than directly using violence.
The man was surrounded by a swarm of ants that was as dense as a huge wave. The fear in his eyes was almost at its peak, and it seemed that his entire spirit had suffered unprecedented devastation.
At this moment, an extremely strong feeling of regret swept through his body like a hurricane - how could he make such an unwise move to challenge such a powerful opponent?
The organization had originally hoped to solve the problem once and for all by taking advantage of the other party's injury, but the result was to backfire. Faced with this chaotic situation, Chu Jinghong simply waved his hand casually, yawned lazily, and turned to smile at the mess:
"Do you think you can take my life when I'm not paying attention?"
After this battle, the long-lost Dark King was destined to regain his prominent position in the underworld. After all, when people learned that a once-top power had sent dozens of elites only to return in defeat, the terrifying image of this legendary figure would only become more deeply ingrained in people's minds.
Just as Chu Jinghong was about to leave this devastated place, his phone suddenly rang. He answered the call and heard a soft, sweet voice—Jasmine's—on the other end. "Baby, you're still awake?" her words were filled with teasing.
