260: Chapter 241: Farewell 260: Chapter 241: Farewell The youth held his sword, taking heavy and staggering steps. The breath he exhaled instantly turned into ice, worse yet, the extreme cold was spreading within him… He felt that his heart could stop beating at any moment. There were at least a dozen visible wounds on his body. He couldn’t tell if it was because he’d frozen the wounds in time or if there was just no more blood left in his veins. Yet he was still alive, still able to move, and even fight. Perhaps it was because he was a true professional, and could hardly be considered human anymore. He gasped for air, hoping to recover quickly. It wasn’t over yet. “Did I unknowingly get provoked?” He realized that he’d fallen for a provocation at this juncture, even though the best option wasn’t to act this way… “Xia Qin, and those juniors, really remind me of our younger days…” The radiance and vitality emanating from them evoked nostalgia and envy in him. But the next moment, he sighed. That light wasn’t for him. Despite his own youthfulness, his thoughts had aged considerably. “…Damn kid!” But he naturally couldn’t help but wonder who had orchestrated all of this behind the scenes, dragging the “Water Wings” trump card to its limit. He gritted his teeth in hatred but eventually resigned himself with a sigh. Maybe it would be better if his sister followed him. Perhaps it was the low temperature and blood loss causing hallucinations, or daydreams born of excessive longing, but he inexplicably felt like the figure before him was the person he most wanted to see. “Big brother Meow…” That voice sounded familiar. “Snap.” The anxious tail-swishing and foot-stomping looked familiar, too. Lei Huoren closed his eyes, feeling terrible; that brat was utterly inhuman. “Can’t we stop?” But he heard entreating and confused words in his ears, as his sister’s voice started to sound tearful. The forcibly suppressed “don’t cry” made Lei Huoren’s cold heart tremble. He silently shook his head, opened his eyes, and forced a smile. “Silly girl.” Speaking, the tired youth slowly lifted his sword, aiming it at the only person he still loved. “Time to grow up… If you’ve made your choice, you’ll understand that many times in this world, it’s a one-way street from the beginning. Pick up your weapon and show me your resolve.” The girl before him fell silent for a moment, her tears wiped dry. Sadness and helplessness surfaced on her once innocent face, but she now displayed greater strength and resolve. “Ah, it’s the light…” Unconsciously, the corners of her brother’s mouth lifted slightly. This carefree girl had unwittingly accomplished the inevitable and painful process of growing up. Perhaps that brat was reliable after all. Or perhaps, she would become a mature Guardian in the future, or he might not be there to see her on her wedding day… Wait, if that day ever comes, I will definitely return to smash that bastard’s head! An inexplicable rage ignited within him. Indeed, encountering his sister at his limit was the most vicious trap that could force him to self-destruct, but… At that moment, Lei Shuiyun suddenly took a step back, making way. “…Why?!” He was stunned. This was completely beyond his expectation. Fury filled his eyes. What was Lei Shuiyun’s intention? Was the resolve she displayed earlier just an illusion? “Pick up your weapon! Lei Shuiyun.” His calm words hid his genuine infuriation. The tear-dried girl merely pulled down on her eye, making a familiar mischievous face, while her playful tail swished next to her bright and mature smile. “No way, Meow. That stingy guy said that if you ever asked, I should tell you. ‘Meow is a one-time trump card, you don’t deserve it.'” “…It’s not a lie?” Lei Huoren was startled before he hesitated, then asked, what was her purpose in coming? “Brother, I can’t catch you now, Meow, but next time, next time, next time, I will…” The girl spoke, and as she did, her sunny face couldn’t resist the cruelty of fate, and tears began to flow once more. Lei Huoren smiled, a gentle smile. “Yeah, I’ll wait for you.” The young man walked past with a smile. Left behind, covering her face and crying, was the sorrowful girl. ——— ——– “… Lost again? Sigh, sister Xia Qin, it’s embarrassing. Just leave the group.” Upon hearing the news, Lu Ping’an sighed helplessly. If she can’t win, there’s nothing he could do but forgive her. He glanced at the Life Mother Tree, where Tie Zhenmei had already accomplished a dozen kills… He was trying to approach the Life Mother Tree and even taste it. The scene in front of him made Lu Ping’an feel disgusted. Is this what a “gourmet” is? Indeed, they’re not picky at all. But it’s also normal, as a gourmet’s profession is precisely that of “eating what they need to replenish.” Since they want to obtain non-human power, their diet significantly differs from that of ordinary humans right from the start. Should he stop him? There’s no need… “The focus now is…” Lu Ping’an silently looked at the Sophist, as the big cat’s suggestion made him re-adjust his priorities. This malignant tumor, this time bomb that could go off anytime, it’s better to get rid of it sooner. “Brother Guan, you stay behind…” This wasn’t because he didn’t want to start a group to fight for justice. Instead, if the Sophist realized that there was no hope and initiated a “Life Election” against Guan Xinxian, they would face casualties. As for himself? Haha, let’s give it a try. Lu Ping’an slowly approached the battlefield, not hiding his intentions. Instantly, he aroused the Sophist’s guard. Lu Ping’an moved forward with a smile on his face, his very existence posing a threat to the Sophist. “Dang!” But the sudden appearance of an Ice Blade forced him back. Even the Sophist let out a sigh of relief. Just a moment ago, he had felt his own death. If his plan wasn’t ready to bear fruit, it would be too miserable. All eyes focused on the man who had just appeared, covered in wounds and with a weary face, yet his pupils remained as calm as ever. As expected, it was a man who was moving too fast. Lu Ping’an thought for a moment, and from his Memories, found a line that was best suited to infuriate… ahem, best suited for the scene at hand. “Hi, uncle.” In an instant, Lei Huoren’s face twisted, his calm eyes seeming to spit fire, immediately breaking the defenses. But if it was just this level, it wouldn’t be Lu Ping’an. He always liked to rub salt in the wound, then add some sugar… “Third round, are you ready? Uncle.” Lu Ping’an casually beckoned, and a figure fell out, covered in wounds and frost, looking quite miserable. With her heavy breathing and stiff limbs, it could only be said that she was still alive. Lei Huoren was stunned. He hadn’t expected this scene. Xia Qin couldn’t move, but her eyes were fixed on the “traitor” from the moment she appeared. “Quite a ruthless move.” Lu Ping’an casually lamented, then applied a “one-sixth power” “Life Extension Payment” on her body. Her injuries disappeared at a visible speed. She could still fight. “Remember to be hospitalized in the ICU on this day next month… You’ve been enhanced, hurry up and deliver!”
