Chapter 172 I Really Hate You
Liu Muchen killed her father with her own hands. How could she dare to appear in front of him so openly when she was so rebellious and unfilial?
Moreover, with the poison gas released by the Lin family's monsters and the blessing of the Four-sided Killing Formation, even a master of the Nascent Soul Realm would not be able to stand there safely.
Liu Dazhong frowned. How on earth did these women manage to do this? They must be just holding on.
That’s right, even if they broke the echo shield, it would still not help. They still couldn’t escape from this killing circle, and no one could leave alive.
Mu Chen casually twirled the two swords in his hands, looking at the male soldiers surrounding him but not daring to step forward. A hint of sarcasm appeared in his eyes, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"
Before she joined the Demon Clan, she was already at the initial stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, which is equivalent to the Demon Condensation Realm of the Demon Clan. After becoming a Demon Clan member, her cultivation level advanced significantly, and now she is at the final stage of the Demon Condensation Realm, so dealing with these minions is no problem at all.
Liu Dazhong thought he could get rid of them by poison gas, but he didn't know that His Highness the Demon Lord had already known his plan and sent people to the herbal medicine store run by the Shi family in advance, looted all their herbs, and got the Qingling Pill that could prevent poison.
So these poisonous gases pose no threat to them at all.
At this time, they had already broken the echo shield and walked out of the range that Liu Dazhong had set for them in advance.
The male soldiers surrounded them with long swords in their hands, but they did not dare to attack them at all. Every time they took a step forward, they took a step back.
Some people's hands and feet were shaking, and with a few clanging sounds, the knives in their hands fell to the ground.
Seeing that Zhang Jiuxiao and the others were not affected by the poisonous gas, they were already covered in cold sweats. Without any cultivation, how could they think that it was impossible for them to defeat Yongye's people?
The intimidating aura they exuded was enough to terrify them.
Suddenly, a male soldier shouted, turned around and ran out of the venue.
As if it was a signal, the others put away their spears and turned around to run.
However, the venue had been surrounded by a magic circle set by Liu Dazhong, and they could not escape. They could only stand at the edge of the venue, knocking on the blood-colored light shield in despair.
Zhang Jiuxiao withdrew his gaze. These people were simply used as cannon fodder by Liu Dazhong. There was no need to waste time on them.
"Kill those who poisoned us first!" Zhang Jiuxiao ordered.
Mu Chen and the others looked towards the Lin family hiding in the corner.
The Lin family patriarch was busy training the two-headed poisonous lizards. He grabbed the spirit rings around their necks and shouted, "Don't play dead! Spray some more poison gas, or you won't get to eat meat today!"
Both heads let out a low, mournful cry at the same time, their dark eyes filled with resentment that was difficult for humans to detect. Their venom glands had become swollen and shriveled, and could no longer produce a trace of poison.
The head of the Lin family doesn't care about these things. He usually feeds them with good food and drink, isn't it for the purpose that they can be useful at this time?
Every one of those who wants to bring down the immortal cultivation family deserves to die, and he will not show mercy.
Seeing the two-headed poisonous lizard looking like it was about to die, I was very angry. Why was I pretending?
Just as he was about to tighten the spiritual circle, he heard a sound of breaking air in front of him. Looking up, he saw two sharp sword winds, like intersecting crescent moons, coming straight towards his face.
He was unable to dodge and was hit by two unexpected attacks. His body fell backward violently and he spit out blood.
A pair of feet in black boots stopped in front of him. The head of the Lin family looked up at her face, his pupils trembling.
This demon is clearly Liu Xiaozhi's daughter!
"You...how dare you—" He gasped for breath, and when he saw Mu Chen raised the knife in his hand again, he quickly shut up.
Then, he loosened the spirit circle on the two-headed lizard's neck and urged, "Quick, kill her for me!"
This monster is so powerful that even the Jindan realm cultivators are afraid of it.
But unexpectedly, the next moment, Mu Chen turned the scimitar in his hand, and the blade light cut off the spirit circle on the monster's neck.
The two-headed poisonous lizard turned around and pounced towards the head of the Lin family. It opened its bloody mouth and bit his face, tearing off his flesh and blood.
“Aaaaaaaaaaa——!”
The shrill screams instantly resounded throughout the entire venue.
————
"Look, the poison gas is dissipating." The opposition members were the first to scream.
Someone shouted vigorously, "Let's not be provoked by Liu Dazhong. First, we need to work together to break this murderous magic circle!"
Unfortunately, most of the people had inhaled the poison gas and were so panicked that they could not listen to what was said, let alone join forces to fight the enemy. They just ran away in all directions, trying to survive.
On the circular platform, the people from the immortal cultivation family couldn't help but stand up when they saw the poison gas dissipate.
"What's going on?"
"We agreed that no one would escape, how come we can't even deal with the people of Eternal Night?!"
The heads of the noble families questioned loudly, without any regard for Liu Dazhong's face.
In their eyes, they are the seniors. No matter whether Liu Dazhong is the state lord or not, they are qualified to question and reprimand him.
Since they have made up their minds to purge the opposition, they must ensure that there are no mistakes. It is really annoying that such accidents happen so frequently.
Liu Dazhong gritted his teeth. What qualifications did a bunch of old men who did nothing but talk have to talk about him?
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a crackling sound from the front.
Looking up, I saw the magic circle in the southwest corner shattered by the long sword. The male soldiers along the way were like fragile straw, easily toppled to the ground by the sword energy. These people were not poisoned at all?!
In a flash, Zhang Jiuxiao led Yongye's men and killed all the soldiers he had deployed on the field, and rushed straight to the circular platform with great momentum.
Liu Dazhong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "Hurry, hurry up and have the He family's head shoot arrows to stop them!"
The subordinate's voice also trembled, "Lord of the State, the Madam and the others are still in the battle. Swords and arrows are indiscriminate. I'm afraid... they will be killed."
"It's already this late, I can't care about so many things!"
"However, activating the arrow formation will consume tens of thousands of spirit stones..."
"Don't give it to me, but once I kill those who oppose me, I can have as many spirit stones as I want!"
As soon as the order to shoot was given, the square became dark.
Before the people who had just survived the poison gas could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw thousands of spiritual arrows, with cold green light on their tips, flying down into the magic circle.
It was like a rainstorm, dense and covering the sky and the sun.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Jiuxiao immediately stopped moving forward and said hatefully, "This Liu Dazhong is really outrageous!" He raised his hand and summoned a defensive light ball, holding it above his head.
Mu Chen was also frightened, and quickly, along with the other sisters, reached out and pressed on the defensive light ball, casting a spell to hold it up.
Suddenly, she saw Li Jingui and others in front of her on the right and was stunned.
My mother has no skills at all, so there is no way she can block this rain of arrows?
Just as he was panicking, an arrow had already shot down and hit the ball of light, making a series of clanging sounds.
The people other than them, who were not protected by the magic shield, fell to the ground immediately and were shot to death by arrows.
She heard Li Jingui crying out in exhaustion, "Zhong'er, stop now, make them stop, I want to leave here... Stop!"
"Liu Dazhong, don't you even care about your mother's life?" the other women followed up and questioned.
Some of them were cultivators in the Qi training realm, who hurriedly summoned magic shields and barely blocked the rain of arrows.
But the spiritual arrows came one after another, but in a blink of an eye, the spiritual power was exhausted.
Crack, someone's magic shield shattered and he fell to the ground injured.
It was not until then that they realized that Liu Dazhong wanted to kill them all.
So he started cursing Liu Dazhong and grabbed Li Jingui and started scolding her.
"You said you were helping us gain benefits, but in the end you and your son were deceiving people together."
"Do you still have any conscience? What good will it bring you by helping that bastard Liu deceive us?"
"We trusted you so much, but who knew you were the same kind as Liu Dazhong, and you turned around and sold us out."
"I'm telling you, if we die, you won't be able to escape."
Having said that, he ignored Li Jingui's explanation and pushed her out of the magic shield, blocking everyone in front of him.
Li Jingui looked at Liu Dazhong for help, but unexpectedly met a pair of cold eyes, and suddenly felt as if she fell into an icy cave.
Chong'er saw it all, so why didn't he save her? Or could he really bear to watch her die?
Muchen was like this, Dazhong was also like this, why were all her children such ungrateful wolves? What had she done wrong?
But before she could think, a spiritual arrow shot out and pierced her right leg.
Her body trembled, and she fell to the ground, tears of pain streaming down her cheeks.
Behind him, the women shouted hurriedly, "Liu Dazhong, did you see that? If the arrow array doesn't stop, your mother will die."
A glimmer of hope arose in Li Jingui's heart, however, the arrow formation showed no signs of stopping.
Another spiritual arrow shot towards her.
Li Jingui cried out in despair, "No——!"
Was she really going to die here? Die under the arrow array activated by her son himself?
At this moment, she recalled many things that she had long forgotten.
In a dim candlelit room, a young girl, tears streaming down her face, removed the first newly matured spirit pearl from her body. Outside the window, enthusiastic cheers echoed. Looking out into the courtyard, her eyelashes fluttered as she watched her brother dance with his sword with high spirits, his father clapping and laughing beside him.
In the brightly lit red hall, a bride, covered in a veil, knelt quietly before the tablet, her hand tucked into her sleeve, tightly gripping a pair of scissors. Outside, the banquet hall rang with the sound of clinking glasses and laughter, as guests congratulated their brother on his successful entry into the Golden Gate Immortal Palace and his journey to immortality, aided by his sister-in-law's help.
The wedding night was a mess. The blood on the forehead flowed to the corners of the eyes, turning the tears into blood tears.
It turned out that she had thought about resisting and escaping, but after being tortured day after day, she became numb and submissive.
So, when she saw her daughter knocking her husband to the ground, her first reaction was not happiness, but... hatred.
For so many years, she had no choice but to endure it, so why could her daughter resist? What was the suffering she had endured all these years?
So, that night, under the same dim candlelight, she said the same words as her mother had said that year, "Marry her off soon."
No one had ever loved her, so why should she be asked to love her daughter? Her heart had long been devoured by darkness.
Whether it is obeying her husband or relying on her son, this is the only way to survive that she has learned over the years.
But she didn't expect that Liu Dazhong was so cruel as to kill her.
She had already become a lady-in-waiting, so why couldn't she escape the fate of being humiliated?
Was it because she had done something wrong? But wasn't that what everyone did? Wasn't that what her mother had done to her? She was not wrong!
As she thought about it, the spiritual arrow was already in front of her.
Suddenly, a gust of wind came, and with a crack, the spiritual arrow shattered in the air and turned into thousands of scattered light points.
Li Jingui froze, but saw her daughter holding two swords tightly, looking at her in panic, her chest heaving.
"Mom...are you okay?" Mu Chen knelt in front of her and held her hand tremblingly.
Li Jingui's pupils trembled, and anger appeared on her face. She roared, "Who asked you to save me? You murdered your father, you rebellious daughter!"
As he said that, he pushed Mu Chen away, and with his trembling hands, he tightly grasped her neck and pushed her to the ground.
At the moment Mu Chen fell to the ground, a sharp arrow shot from the direction of the circular platform and pierced Li Jingui's heart.
Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide, tears of pain welling up in his eyes.
"I really hate you..." Li Jingui laughed, released Mu Chen's hand, and fell down.
But in those dark and turbid eyes, there were clearly still tears of regret.
If she could live her life over again, would the ending be different?
Unfortunately, there is no if.
