But if he wants to escape, will Qin Moyu let him go?
"clang--"
Another collision occurred, but this time Qin Moyu was too exhausted to hold on and was pierced through the abdomen by the longsword.
We won!
Fen Gong's spirits lifted, and his original thought of escaping vanished instantly. He even wanted to mock Qin Moyu, but then he saw a mocking smile on Qin Moyu's lips.
"You lost."
Qin Moyu said softly, swallowing the metallic taste in her throat with a smile.
What?!
Fen Gong saw the mockery in Qin Moyu's eyes.
"That's right, I did it on purpose."
Qin Moyu chuckled softly, a laugh tinged with both sorrow and joy. He took Fen Gong's longsword and the sword's energy instantly cut his hand, the blood dripping down the blade onto the snow, but he seemed oblivious.
Snowfield...
when……
Fen Gong suddenly looked up and saw a huge lotus flower silently blooming in the sky.
The world revolves around it, with thousands of miles of ice frozen over, and even time seems to be frozen for a moment.
Now, the best revenge Qin Moyu could think of was to make Fen Gong watch helplessly as the Red Lotus Karmic Flame slowly faded away, allowing him to savor the fear before death.
"No...no...wait...wait! You can't kill me!" Fen Gong kept his head tilted back. He wanted to run, but his limbs and torso were frozen stiff. If he hadn't frantically activated his spiritual energy to protect his heart and brain, he would have died the moment the Red Lotus Karmic Fire bloomed. He wouldn't be shouting in panic now.
"I am the next head of the Fen family. My father is the head of the Fen family. The ancestor values me the most. If you kill me, you will be hunted down by the Fen family endlessly! You can kill me, but you can't defeat the Fen family!" Fen Gong roared, trying to use both soft and hard tactics to get Qin Moyu to spare his life.
"Let me go! Let me go! I promise I won't take revenge! I...I...I have so many treasures, so many! So many! In short, I'll give you whatever you want—"
However, his words had no effect on Qin Moyu.
He also raised his head and looked at the red lotus flame. Even though his body was on the verge of collapse, he was happy.
"Master... I've avenged you."
Qin Moyu murmured softly, her smile tinged with tears.
"Wait—" Fen Gong was getting closer and closer to the deadly red lotus, and he was so anxious that he was almost going crazy. He shouted without thinking, "Your master is not me—uh!"
When he got to the crucial point, it was as if someone had unconsciously grabbed his neck, or like a fish that had accidentally jumped ashore and was struggling to breathe.
No one saw the array that was faintly visible in his eyes.
Qin Moyu didn't take his words to heart until—
"Don't you want to know... who ordered me to kill your master...?"
Fen Gong finally caught his breath, his voice hoarse, his eyes filled with endless resentment: "If it weren't for him... if it weren't for him... I wouldn't have..."
Qin Moyu stopped the red lotus karmic fire.
"Heh...aren't you surprised...why...why are we still so determined to find your sect..."
Fen Gong seemed resigned to his fate, yet also driven to the brink of madness: "The Liu family! The Liu family massacre—you think, you think I valued that bastard's stolen storage bag so much! Because it contained a token that could mobilize the most powerful forces of Yunqi Tower! Do you know who helped me contact Yunqi Tower—and who ordered the killing of your master—"
That night, besides Fen Gongnan and Xun, there was only one other person in the room.
Qin Moyu closed her eyes.
"It's Mo Yuan! It's him! It's him! He didn't want Yun Qi Lou to be involved in this matter, so he sent me to find you! But you were nowhere to be found. I had already given up, but it was him—"
"It was Mo Yuan who killed your master—uh—"
After Fen Gong finished speaking, he suddenly screamed in agony, blood flowing from his seven orifices, and died on the spot.
This appearance is as if he had spoken some unspeakable truth and died breaking his vow.
His head drooped limply, and was quickly frozen by the cold air.
When Qin Moyu opened his eyes, he saw Fen Gong's wide eyes, with two lines of bloody tears flowing from his eyes, as if telling of his unwillingness.
—Mo Yuan.
Qin Moyu released the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and collapsed heavily to the ground amidst Shen Yebai's urgent calls.
42. Chapter Forty-Two: The mother felt somewhat guilty; he and she...
While Qin Moyu and Fen Gong were fighting one-on-one, Shen Yebai blocked the corpse demon for Qin Moyu, and Zuo Shu and Shen Yu naturally faced off against the old man.
The old man, relying on the Corpse King, didn't take Zuo Shu and Shen Yu seriously.
"Once you're dead, I'll skin you alive and turn you into living puppets. That will be satisfying enough." The old man stood on the rooftop, watching the two men who were surrounded by the Corpse Demons and fighting their way back, and laughed heartily.
"You won't have a chance." Zuo Shu's face was frosty as she turned around and pulled Shen Yu back, narrowly avoiding a fatal attack from the corpse demon that grazed Shen Yu's back.
"This can't go on; he's wearing us down." Shen Yu dared not relax for a moment in the face of the endless stream of corpse lords. Soon, he was covered in sweat. Although the corpse lords weren't very strong, even ants can kill an elephant. He was already starting to feel overwhelmed by the relentless onslaught of the corpse lords.
