He was almost dismembered on the spot because of this!
Just as Xiao Dai was losing consciousness, he suddenly heard a familiar melody gradually enveloping him.
That was... the sacred vow Miss Villania sang before her daily confession?
The Lord of Aurora City is tired of all this!
That attack failed to kill the fearless Dai Shanren, but it did give him a feeling no less than that of a newborn child lifting a large truck. However, even if he wasn't dead, he was definitely seriously injured, which was perfect for taking him back.
He then scattered Long Yi and his group of four, raised his right arm, which was radiating aurora, and pointed it at Vera, who was smiling and muttering to herself as her lips twitched up and down.
It's over. No miracles, no surprises. Haha, an eight-star late-game player versus a three-star late-game player. If he could turn the tables, why would he still be the lord of a city?
Why not just stick to the family business and sell grilled sausages in the city?
Snap~ Snap~ Snap~
Hmm? Someone else has arrived? Who is it this time?
The Aurora City Lord frowned as he looked at the shadow on his left. After recognizing who it was, his eyes widened in surprise.
It's...it's his son! Cen Zhuoqun!
"Dad, I didn't know you were this strong!"
"You unfilial son! Why did you become a lackey of the demons? Is it because your status is not high enough? Don't you know how much I would have to pay if I wanted you to come back?"
"Come back? Why should I come back? Besides, I don't care about your lousy city lord position, and I'm not some demon's lackey. I'm their collaborator."
Cen Zhuoqun revealed a confident smile and looked at Vera, who was lost in thought and talking to herself behind him.
"You haven't joined the demon race? Then everything is easier. Now step aside and let me deal with this demon first."
The Lord of Aurora City stepped forward and walked past Cen Zhuoqun. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly sensed danger behind him!
He could have reacted in time... but he still failed.
"Why?"
The Lord of Aurora City looked at the sword piercing through his chest, and then turned to look at his son, Cen Zhuoqun, with a touch of sadness.
"Ah... the sword had its own thoughts, I couldn't control it..."
Well, my stupid dad!
Judging from your expression, you seem to really believe that Vera has bewitched me, don't you?
No, I did it voluntarily, Verania. I was just bait...
Upon hearing his son, Cen Zhuoqun, openly confess to his crimes, the Lord of Aurora City trembled with excitement. He... he had considered this possibility, but he was unwilling to admit it...
“My son, tell me... you haven’t betrayed humanity, and you still want to return to live among humans. There are reasons for all of this, right?”
"I have indeed not betrayed humanity, and I truly wish to return to human life. You're right, Dad!"
Just as the Lord of Aurora City breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, Cen Zhuoqun stabbed him in the waist with a backhand!
Hmm!
The Lord of Aurora City let out a muffled groan, while Cen Zhuoqun smiled and leaned his face closer.
"Just kidding, Dad."
boom!!!
The Aurora City Lord's aura erupted!
The two swords that Cen Zhuoqun had pierced into his body melted away directly, and Cen Zhuoqun managed to escape in time, smiling as he dodged to the side and looked at his old father, who had turned his head away, his expression sorrowful and his whole body trembling.
Before I kill you with my own hands, can I ask you what makes you hate me so much? Can you tell me why?
As he said this, the Lord of Aurora City looked at his son with a bitter expression, as if he had tasted all the bitterness of life.
"You know, of course you know. Even though I was young and don't remember much back then, I still know!"
After all... my mother has always praised you since I was little, and she tells me every day that one day we will live together.
Under your leadership, humans and demons may even achieve peace and eliminate war!
I was so convinced that my father was a great man, until... he killed my mother right before my eyes!
The painful memories flooded back, and both Cen Zhuoqun and City Lord Cen recalled that scene from back then.
"Zhuo Qun...there's a reason for everything, listen to me, I didn't..."
"You're still trying to deny it! Typical Cen Youzhi!"
Cen Zhuoqun also smiled through her tears.
"She wanted peace between humans and demons, and for an end to war, but what did you do?"
Your mother once said that what she hoped for was the vow you made to her back then.
If your peace comes at the cost of annihilating all demons.
"I can do that too!"
Cen Zhuoqun then drew a new sword and pointed it at Cen Youzhi, the city lord of Aurora City!
"Peace at the cost of annihilating all of humanity!"
