Chapter 45
Bang--
Before Gongsun Xuan could do anything, he felt a pain in his back. He turned around and saw a short-haired woman floating in the air, pointing a gun at him.
Gongsun Xuan turned his other hand into a black whip, and the whips wrapped in black mist rushed towards Tong Le as fast as tentacles.
Tong Le dodged nimbly and said with disgust: "Tsk, how disgusting."
The familiar pain came from his body again. Zheng Shu pointed the gun at his eyebrows, but Gongsun Xuan protected his vital points very well, and the two shots had no effect.
Then, Wei Zhirong and Qiao Lang took turns shooting. The four of them floated in the air, provoking Gongsun Xuan as if they were playing a joke on him.
After Gongsun Xuan calmed down, he stopped paying attention to them and focused on dealing with Liu Huaizhao, who was tied up and unable to move.
Unexpectedly, Liu Huaizhao smiled at him, and the next second, he broke free from his restraints.
After Liu Huaizhao left, he immediately took out the Lieyang Blade and chopped off one of Gongsun Xuan's arms without hesitation. The moment the arm hit the ground, it vanished into thin air. Before Gongsun Xuan could use his turbid air to mend his wound, several vital parts of his body were attacked.
These attacks were like tickling to him, but constantly repairing the wounds on his body still made him tired. Liu Huaizhao seized the opportunity and slashed at his other arm with the Lieyang Blade.
It hit the air.
Gongsun Xuan sneered and said mockingly, "What kind of hero is it to defeat a larger force with a smaller one?"
"You talk too much." Liu Huaizhao ignored him and continued to attack him with his long sword. The four people in the air also took turns shooting at him, which was bound to annoy Gongsun Xuan to death.
Gongsun Xuan dodged their attacks while repairing his broken arm. As soon as his other arm recovered, he flew into the air, trying to catch one and kill him.
But the four people in the air were prepared. They slipped away the moment his arm recovered, floating out of his reach and watching him from afar.
Tong Le even made a face.
Gongsun Xuan sneered and said, "Do you think you are the only one with help?"
After he finished speaking, he whispered something, and as he finished speaking, several balls of black mist appeared around him.
Gongsun Xuan had six men under his command who were his trusted confidants and extremely loyal to him—Li Jun had told them so.
The six men transformed into human forms and stood on the ground, attacking Liu Huaizhao together to buy time for Gongsun Xuan to catch his breath.
Liu Huaizhao smiled slightly, did not accept the attack, but floated backwards.
Gongsun Xuan thought to himself that something was wrong and was about to ask the group to retreat when he saw the three people in the front fall down one after another, with blood flowing from their eyebrows.
"Oh my god." Tong Le exclaimed softly, "Xiao Liao's shooting skills are amazing."
The remaining three people immediately turned into black mist, preventing Yan Liao from attacking them.
The three balls of black mist surrounded Gongsun Xuan like ghost fire, protecting him tightly.
Like the four people floating in the air, these three balls of black fog could not cause any harm to Liu Huaizhao, but they were really annoying. Liu Huaizhao had to attack Gongsun Xuan while avoiding the harassment of the black fog. The speed of his attack immediately dropped, and Gongsun Xuan finally got a chance to catch his breath.
Just like that, he began to pay attention to the people around Liu Huaizhao, but found that the number of people was different from what he had seen at the foot of the sacred mountain before. There were four in the sky, one in the dark... and the other one?
Qin Zunyue, who descended from the sky, gave him the answer.
Qin Zunyue landed on the ground and dispersed the three black mists. Then he threw the talismans that Liu Huaizhao had written in advance at the black mists. Almost instantly, the black mists disappeared and the people inside revealed their true forms.
Qin Zunyue quickly dealt with them and then dodged to the side before Gongsun Xuanteng could take action against him.
The four people who were originally watching the excitement in the air also took out their guns and aimed at Gongsun Xuan. In addition, he had to deal with Liu Huaizhao, so Gongsun Xuan was overwhelmed and could not care about Qin Zunyue who had already flown far away.
"Do you think these are all I have?" Gongsun Xuan said gritting his teeth.
Liu Huaizhao stopped and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Oh?"
Gongsun Xuan muttered something in a low voice, and Liu Huaizhao just looked at him quietly.
One second.
Two seconds.
There was no movement around.
Gongsun Xuan's face changed. His ability to turn his men into black mist naturally allowed him to completely control them and make them work for him, but now he was unable to summon them over.
Gongsun Xuan looked up at Liu Huaizhao, "What did you do!"
Liu Huaizhao slowly imitated his words: "You don't think that these are the only people we have."
Then, he stopped talking nonsense, picked up the knife and rushed towards Gongsun Xuan, chopping off his arm in one go.
It takes a lot of strength to keep the arm in the black whip form, and once it becomes like this, it will be difficult to change it back for a while.
Gongsun Xuan didn't understand how Liu Huaizhao knew his weakness, and he had no time to care about it because he had been tortured by several people to the point that he could hardly protect his vital parts.
Finally, under the continuous attacks of several people, Gongsun Xuan was knocked to the wall by Liu Huaizhao. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was about to repair his wound when he saw Qin Zunyue, who had just disappeared, floating in the air carrying something. The cold look in his eyes became the last thing he saw.
Qin Zunyue carried the light mortar given to him by the Central Security City on one shoulder. An ordinary person would have been killed with one shot, but Gongsun Xuan could actually look up at him again, which made him marvel in his heart.
Liu Huaizhao stepped forward and confirmed that Gongsun Xuan was dead. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He concentrated all the energy in his body into his hands and transferred it to the Lieyang Sword.
The tip of the Lieyang Knife pierced Gongsun Xuan's heart. The fresh air entered his veins and forced the heavy air out of his body.
The black fog looked no different from the previous turbid monsters, but Qin Zunyue felt a strong murderous aura. He looked at the fog floating in the air vigilantly.
A hoarse voice came from the black fog, "Do you think you can kill me like this? How ridiculous."
It floated towards Liu Huaizhao. Qin Zunyue stepped forward and stood in front of Liu Huaizhao, frowning, and put the mortar on his shoulder again.
The black mist did not do anything to them. It just circled around them twice and then said to Qin Zunyue, "Are you willing to be my new host? I can give you wealth, fame, and status."
The instigation in the tone was self-evident. Qin Zunyue sneered and aimed the mortar at it.
Liu Huaizhao raised his hand and pressed it on his arm, saying, "No one here will trade with you. Forget it."
The black fog let out an eerie laugh and said, "Really? It doesn't matter. I can wait. Thousands of years are nothing more than a fleeting moment to me."
After saying this, he disappeared in front of everyone, and his figure was no longer in sight.
"Fuck, what does he mean." Qiao Lang came over.
"Literally, even if he can't find anyone to use him now, he'll find one in the future. He was born from the heavens and earth, immortal, so time means nothing to him." Liu Huaizhao put away his Fiery Sun Blade, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "We're nothing more than a toy to him."
Everyone was silent.
"Is there no way we can deal with him?" Qiao Lang asked unwillingly.
"No." Liu Huaizhao flicked the dust off his clothes. "But he and Gongsun Xuan have been deeply bound together for thousands of years. Killing Gongsun Xuan would be considered a serious injury to him. It would take hundreds of years for him to recover."
Hearing this, Zheng Shu sighed, "Forget it, don't think about what will happen after you die. Find a way to leave the cause and effect of this matter to future generations."
This is the only way. After all, even Liu Huaizhao said that heavy and turbid air will not kill people, so they have no way to deal with it.
"Alright, alright." Tong Le clapped his hands, trying to lighten the mood. "At least for us, this matter is over. Besides, we also won a battle. Let's be happy, okay? Let's go quickly. I need to find Xiao Liao."
The atmosphere finally eased a bit, and a few people went to where Yan Liao was. She had already packed up and was waiting for them.
"Shall we go?" Yan Liao asked.
Qin Zunyue said: "Let's go to school first and see what's going on over there."
When they arrived, there were only a few people left in the school. The officer who stayed behind to clean up the mess was from Tianhai Security City. When he saw Qin Zunyue and the others, he smiled and walked over to pat Qin Zunyue on the shoulder, "How are you, Lao Qin?"
Before Qin Zunyue could speak, the officer knew the answer as soon as he saw the relaxed smiles on the faces of the few people. His eyes were slightly red and he wiped his face vigorously, "It's finally over."
After saying that, he turned around and saluted Liu Huaizhao solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Liu. If it weren't for you, we...we..."
Liu Huaizhao naturally knew what he was going to say and returned the greeting. "Thank you for your hard work. Without you taking care of Gongsun Xuan's helpers, it would definitely not be so easy for us to kill him."
At this point, the officer sighed and looked at the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield. "I don't know how that guy brainwashed these people. Although we persuaded some to surrender, the majority are still steadfastly loyal to Gongsun Xuan..."
In this battle, not only did many of Gongsun Xuan's men die, but the soldiers of the safe city also sacrificed their lives. When they looked at the people being covered with white cloth and carried away, the sadness in their hearts overshadowed their joy.
-
When they returned to the safe city, the news of their victory had spread to every corner within the walled city. The safe city was bustling with people, cheers and cries mixed together, announcing the end of their more than ten years of life like a bird in a cage.
Qin Zunyue and his companions declined the celebration banquet and returned to their residence in Fenlin Safety City together.
As soon as he entered the door, Tong Le rushed to the sofa.
"I'm so tired, so tired!" She kicked off her shoes and occupied the entire sofa.
Zheng Shu went over and patted her butt, "Get up, what a mess."
Tong Le obediently moved away, put on her shoes again, and smiled sweetly at Zheng Shu, "Sister Shu, please sit down."
Zheng Shu got goosebumps all over his body and sat in the seat farthest away from her.
"When are we going home?" Wei Zhirong asked.
"Stay here for a while." Liu Huaizhao said, "It's okay to go back anyway."
Qin Zunyue's fingers moved slightly, and he said: "Okay, let's stay for a while and play."
So they decided to rest for two days and then go around and go home when they had enough fun.
They had a simple meal in the evening and went to sleep. Tong Le rubbed his sore shoulders and said, "I wasn't that tired this morning, why am I so sleepy at night?"
Liu Huaizhao and Qin Zunyue walked behind. He hooked Qin Zunyue's little finger, took out the ancient book that Zheng Shu had just handed him and said, "I won't sleep with you tonight. I want to chat with my senior brother."
Qin Zunyue nodded, opened the door and turned to look at Liu Huaizhao, "Good night, see you tomorrow."
Liu Huaizhao smiled at him, leaned over and kissed him, saying, "Good night."
Qin Zunyue smiled and rubbed his head, preparing to turn around and go back to his room.
"Wait!" Liu Huaizhao stopped him again, walked into the house with him, and said, "Can you show me the scar on your calf again?"
Although Qin Zunyue was puzzled, he still pulled up his trouser legs, revealing the hideous scar.
Liu Huaizhao squatted down and placed his hand on the uneven skin. A golden light flashed and the scar disappeared.
"Why did you suddenly think of doing this?" Qin Zunyue said with a smile.
Liu Huaizhao stood up, looked him in the eyes and said, "Don't get hurt again in the future."
Qin Zunyue nodded, "Okay."
"And." Liu Huaizhao took a step forward and hugged him tightly, "Can you only love me forever?"
"Of course." Qin Zunyue chuckled.
Only then did Liu Huaizhao let him go and whispered good night.
"Good night." Qin Zunyue touched his hair and didn't ask any more questions about his abnormal behavior tonight.
No one else paid attention to their little actions behind them, nor did they know about the conversation in the room. They all returned to their rooms listlessly and slept until noon the next day. Finally, they were woken up by A Jin.
"Liu Huaizhao is leaving."
