Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
Chapter 3456: Enemy of the Iron Fist (23) Truth
Soul...
Looking into each other's deep, deep eyes, Gus was trembling.
“You are a demon, aren't you?” Asked the teenager.
“Isn't that obvious?” Lu looked at his smoky lower body and was caught in front of the steam balls.
“What do you want with my soul? ”
Gus cautioned, "I'm just an ordinary person, even if I have a soul, I'm afraid I'm very weak, and I can't help such a powerful demon. ”
“Don't worry about it. ”
Lu Qingdu shrugged, “Perhaps there is enough power in you to help me overthrow the whole world, or maybe I'm just bored and want to play the role of a real demon. In short, all you have to do is trust me wholeheartedly, open your heart completely to me, give me the complete integrity of your soul, and I can answer all your questions, and give you enough power... to make this world an enemy. ”
“and the power of the world as an enemy...”
Gus felt his teeth all chilled and sore. He stepped back, swallowed the spit and cautioned, “Can't you forcibly take my soul if I don't want to? ”
“Yes, but forcible intrusion and reading of core data leaves too much trace, and triggers antivirus programs easily, too risky. ”
Lu Qingdu smiled harmlessly, as if he had just suggested, merely demanding an insignificant object from Gus, not a precious and only soul, "We demons do business, most fairly and voluntarily, if you don't want to put your own soul in your hands, I don't care, it's no big deal to find a second fool - but then you won't get my help again, it's fair, right? ”
Gus frowned.
At a glance, she rolled and burned, turning her sister on the opposite side deep in the cave. The teenager felt that the way to escape was dangerous. If she wanted no help from the devil, she could escape from the blockade. It was really difficult.
They left the cave before dawn.
Sister's injuries and illnesses are not good, her body floating like a rootless floating ping, several times she almost fell in rolling mud, can no longer climb up.
But they had to leave because the cave had been submerged by flash floods and rainfall.
Heavy rains such as waterfalls make it extremely difficult for fugitives and pursuits to compete entirely with willpower.
Until noon, the rain finally stopped for a little while, and the human slaughter intensified again.
They repelled three more waves and killed four of them.
The price was a clear front and rear hole in her shoulder, a punch in her stomach, the entire abdomen was blue, and she didn't know if there was internal bleeding.
In addition, there was a slight crack in the left knee of the sister, which, while not affecting the movement much, greatly hindered her strength during the battle, with one leg almost scrapped.
Gus was protected by his sister, but she didn't get hurt much, but once she fell, even if 36,000 perspirants around him were intact, she wouldn't be able to take a life from the vicious pursuit of the poor.
Sister should have fallen long ago.
With her injuries and illnesses, she should have fallen to the ground and struggled painfully, not even climbing out of the cave.
But she was like a flame burned by a bunch of bears, supported by some faith or hatred, hard-boiled, turned into a steel cast human machine, staring, biting her teeth, walking forward.
Gus knows roughly what his sister is waiting for.
Not waiting to kill the recycling.
Instead, they are waiting to be chased by "the man”, to draw a desperate end to this futile escape.
In the afternoon, they were chased to a halt.
Cliffs on both sides, cliffs on the front, and behind, "the man” finally appeared.
“Gus, Gray, turn around, there's a cliff, and a half-step walk ahead of you is crushing bones! ”
Uncle Raleigh, with a deep eye, appeared behind them.
Grey snorted, like a fine string broken in her body, and with Gus's help, twisted and twisted to the edge of the cliff.
“Uncle...”
Gus had some nerve watching his uncle hate iron and steel eyes, but watching his sister cry without tears, his heart trembled, he didn't know where to come from, his fists tightened, his eyebrows raised, he drank aloud, "Tell us how Dad died! ”
Thunder glanced and sighed. “Oh, so that's why you ran away. That's no wonder. Now that you've guessed, why ask me? ”
“It's you! ”
Gray screamed painfully, "Dad, you really killed him. He's your brother-in-law. How could you do that? ”
“Yeah, how could I do that? ”
Ray wiped a raindrop on his face, confused, tranced, muttered, "Glenn is not only my brother-in-law, but also my best friend from childhood to big, since we met at Iron Fist School at the age of three, the best training partner and competitor, can entrust life to each other's friendship.
“Even at that time, his talent was outstanding, he was steadily overwhelmed by most of the competition, and I didn't have half a mustard in my heart. I still saw him as a good friend of a good teacher worth emulating or even following, and even actively matched his relationship with my own sister in order to bring the two families closer together.
“Gus, Gray, please absolutely believe that there is no personal grudge between me and your father - and if I really hate him, I will not bet on the happiness of my beloved sister.
“But after discovering the 'thing', I did deeply resent him, and I resent why he was so weak, so unsettled, so easily seduced by the devil; I resent why he gave up the glory of the martial artist and the wife of his family to carry out an evil, filthy and extremely dangerous study; I hate why he hid from me that we had been born and died countless times before, without shaking our eyelashes, we could hand over our lives to each other, and in this mountain beneath your feet, he threw countless drops of hot blood at each other. Does he think I am a priest of the temple of boxing, he would betray him? ”
“Yes, you hate him! ”
Grey screamed, "You hate Dad for falling into the magic, so kill him, with your own sister, our mother! ”
“You're wrong, Gray, you're so wrong! ”
Ray roared, "I didn't kill him because of resentment, I killed him to save him, to save his reputation as the 'Red Gold Town First-Fighter', to save my own sister and both of you! Otherwise, in case Glenn is exposed, your mother and both of you will be implicated, stigmatized for life, despised for life, and held up forever! ”
