Buzz!
Zhu Qilue's mind exploded directly!
Pupils quaked!
Body trembling!
Heart shattered!
His eyes seemed to split open, suddenly becoming incredibly blood-red and vicious, while also flickering with doubt.
"You... you... what did you say..."
"Hmph."
Gong Wenyao laughed coldly, offering no further explanation.
At this moment, no explanation was necessary.
A smile alone said it all.
The person, was indeed killed by him!
When his mother died, he was so very young, too young to remember! Living until now, sometimes he even forgot what happened that day.
He only remembered that day, the sun was bright, and he was playing in the yard.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open, startling him. Immediately after, his expressionless father brought back his barely breathing, bloody mother and helplessly knelt on the ground.
He was terrified, stunned for a full five seconds before he ran over.
The cries of the newly born Zhu Ruoling echoed inside the room.
Then.
His mind went blank, and he could no longer recall what happened.
Perhaps.
It was a deliberate forgetfulness on his part, a memory that could only resurface after avenging this blood debt.
From then on, he asked countless times about the reason for his mother's death, but Zhu Sui never uttered a word, never revealing a single piece of information to him.
It was only today that the truth was finally unveiled!
Zhu Qilue's body suddenly burned with fury, the entire person seemingly about to explode, veins bulging, eyes splitting, filled with anger.
The mother's killer he had pursued so bitterly, turned out to be Gong Wenyao.
Indeed!
He had already suspected!
Someone who could keep his father silent for so long, someone who could make his father suppress the pain of losing his wife.
Who else but Gong Wenyao could it be!
He was so dull-witted, never having doubted this.
It took Gong Wenyao confronting him with a boastfully humiliating tone for him to suddenly realize.
Yet this realization came too late.
"Brother..."
Zhu Ruoling's voice also began to tremble, her limbs shaking uncontrollably, eyes immediately filling with tears, gently calling out.
At that time, she was even younger than Zhu Qilue, now completely without any image of their mother in her mind, just a concept of her.
She only knew that her mother died the year she was born. But as for why exactly, she knew nothing.
The words Gong Wenyao spoke earlier were akin to a bolt from the blue for her, shocking her into a stupor.
"Is this... is this true? Brother... brother, answer me... is it true?"
She cried tearfully, shaking Zhu Qilue vigorously, seeking an answer.
However.
Zhu Qilue also couldn't be certain.
But from Gong Wenyao's expression, he could tell that the latter was not lying.
Besides, Gong Wenyao never lied, because he didn't need to.
No one in the Fire Clan could do anything to him.
Gong Wenyao impatiently dug at his ear, pouting unhappily, saying, "It's true! True! Annoying to death, even after I told you, you don't believe it. Now I've told you the truth, are you happy? Didn't Zhu Sui ever mention it? He's such a coward, not even daring to say who killed his wife."
He paused, raising an eyebrow at Zhu Qilue, his expression filled with provocation and disdain.
"Now you know my true power, right? Some things, if I want you to know, you will know, if not, you will never know."
"Still want to threaten me, fight me?"
"The entire Fire Clan is under my control, what do you have to use against me, to fight me with? Simply childish and ridiculous!"
These words Zhu Qilue didn't hear at all, he was still immersed in uncontrollable rage.
When a person suddenly hears such news, they are absolutely unable to control themselves.
What reason, what judgment, what life and death.
All thrown to the back of the mind!
The only thought in his mind now.
Kill Gong Wenyao!
Even if he wasn't Gong Wenyao's match, he had to fight with his life, to make this scum pay with his life for his mother's!
"I'll kill you!"
Zhu Qilue broke away from Zhu Ruoling, not even knowing where the strength came from, stumbling and charging towards Gong Wenyao!
He was gravely injured, his speed was just too slow.
In Gong Wenyao's eyes, it was even slower than a snail!
However.
Zhu Ruoling and the Divine Phoenix were both shocked by the earlier words.
Moreover.
They never expected Zhu Qilue would choose to court death.
With his current physical condition, the gap between him and Gong Wenyao was like a chasm across realms.
"Wait!"
By the time the Divine Phoenix reacted, it was too late.
Gong Wenyao lightly moved his fingers, and an incomparably violent pressure slapped towards Zhu Qilue.
Yet Zhu Qilue continued to charge forward recklessly, not caring or considering, his eyes filled only with Gong Wenyao, his mind filled only with the thought of killing Gong Wenyao.
If he truly collided, Zhu Qilue's head would likely explode directly!
"Ah—"
Zhu Qilue utterly lost his sanity, roaring hysterically, single-mindedly bent on revenge.
One breath!
Two breaths!
Three breaths!
Zhu Qilue was about to crash headlong!
Gong Wenyao's pressure didn't seem intended to stop him, but was waiting for Zhu Qilue to collide and die.
Thus his pressure moved incredibly slowly, but the power it carried was immense!
However.
This also gave the Divine Phoenix time to react.
Although she had only met Zhu Qilue for a brief few minutes, and she didn't know him at all.
If it were before, she would certainly watch coldly as Zhu Qilue went to his death.
But since meeting Lin Fan, her entire being had undergone a tremendous change, at least she no longer had a cold and indifferent heart, watching Zhu Qilue go to his death with open eyes.
"Damn it."
The Divine Phoenix swore, instantly transforming into a shadow, rushing toward Zhu Qilue.
She had to intercept him before Zhu Qilue crashed into the pressure, otherwise, this guy would surely die.
She didn't even know why she felt compelled to do so.
At that time, she only thought that if Lin Fan were here, he too would unhesitatingly step forward.
To help a friend at any cost!
"Get back here!"
Half a breath!
The Divine Phoenix dashed to Zhu Qilue's back, grabbed his collar, and prepared to pull him back.
Gong Wenyao's brow furrowed, coldly saying, "Mind your own business!"
Immediately, his finger moved again.
That terrifying pressure suddenly moved again, pressing towards both the Divine Phoenix and Zhu Qilue.
Instantaneous!
Came right before them, savagely slapping towards their heads.
The Divine Phoenix was shocked, not expecting Gong Wenyao to act suddenly.
Damn! Instead of saving Zhu Qilue, she got her own life involved!
She cursed viciously in her heart, her eyes twitching, grabbing Zhu Qilue's back collar, she yanked him backward.
Before the pressure arrived, she threw Zhu Qilue back.
But!
She could only stay in place, watching the ferocious and wild pressure crash towards her like a tide, with no time to react or place to hide.
The Divine Phoenix sighed softly in her heart, gently closing her eyes.
She surrounded her head and body with a pair of wings, but she knew that facing Gong Wenyao's cultivation realm, it was utterly useless, so she just waited for death to come.
