C436 dying
Watching your prey die in front of your eyes was a very joyful thing. This feeling of joy was also something that the scholar loved to see and hear about the most. It was a type of enjoyment that came from within, and also the embodiment of supreme power.
This was the reason why the scholar would play with his prey every single time and cruelly end their lives. He very much liked to see them display despair, helplessness, begging for mercy, going crazy, and even hysterically waiting. In short, all the negative emotions and expressions from their prey were the source of the scholar's excitement.
Su Wanyue was the scholar's prey. Although this prey had 'interacted' with him for a short period of time, the scholar still held an incomparable hatred towards her. If time allowed, the scholar would definitely let her experience even more pain.
However, the scholar himself knew that he didn't have much time left, and he didn't even know when the poison would take effect. The most important thing was that this' stinking woman 'really didn't have any antidote on her, causing his plan to fail.
Now, the only thing that the scholar could do was to quickly kill Su Wanyue and find a way to find Su Wanyue's accomplice. After that, finding a way to find the source of the antidote from the other party members would be the most urgent thing to do right now. He could only hope that he could persevere until he found the antidote, or at least find a way to alleviate the poison's effects.
Su Wanyue's body was naturally sent flying backwards, as if she was not affected at all. Just like before, it was Su Wanyue who was thrown into the air, with the scholar following closely behind, he used all of his strength to prepare the final strike, and even Su Wanyue's state of mind was the same.
Many people would say that before a person died, they would think back to many past events, and even those things that had long been buried deep within their hearts would all be revealed. It was as if the death was deliberately brought back to the person who died to reminisce about some past events, perhaps to make the person before they died have an extra attachment to the human world, or perhaps to make someone give a self-evaluation of their past actions.
Su Wanyue was currently immersed in the reminiscing of her past. For the first time in her life, she didn't think about her sister, nor did she think about her parents who she often missed, but instead thought about him for some inexplicable reason.
He, who had risked his life to rescue him from the den of tigers and wolves, who had saved his dying sister, who had taught him how to survive in such a cruel society, who had given him and his sister a better life and higher rights. He was the man that he wanted to love as his younger brother!
Su Wanyue laughed, as she could not help but sigh in her heart: "I did not expect that last night's departure would actually be forever! Furthermore, I didn't even think that before I helped him conquer such a vast world, I would have to give up my hand first! "
Su Wanyue slowly closed her eyes and calmly waited for death to come. Although this wait was short, it felt a little long.
Just as Su Wanyue was about to close her eyes and wait for death to come, a voice suddenly sounded out from the bottom of her heart. She was extremely familiar with the voice, and the scene seemed as if she could still clearly see it in her mind.
Su Wanyue's thoughts were pulled back into her memories once again ?
"He gave up just like that?" Gongsun Ze Tian seriously questioned Su Wanyue. He looked down from above at the dispirited Su Wanyue lying on the ground, and asked with an ice-cold tone that carried a trace of hatred and disappointment.
"Thank you Pavilion Master for saving us!" Su Wanyue gasped for breath, his heart was still beating extremely quickly, thinking back to the life and death situation, she still had a lingering fear in his heart. After a long while, Su Wanyue said to Gongsun Ze Tian while gasping for breath.
If Gongsun Zaitian had not acted just now, he would have been dead without a doubt. Luckily, he had acted in time to save him, which had saved his life.
"Although I saved your life, I can't save your heart!" Gongsun Ze Tian looked at Su Wanyue's expression, he shook his head and sighed.
"I'm sorry, Pavilion Master, I've let you down!" Su Wanyue forced himself to stand up and kneeled down as he replied to Gongsun Zhaitian.
"Whether I am disappointed or not is not important, the most important thing is you! Why give up on yourself so easily? Is dying a fun thing? " Gongsun Ze Tian spoke sincerely and earnestly to Su Wanyue.
Everyone said that a person's will to survive is very strong, but from Su Wanyue, Gongsun Zaitian could not find any trace of it. This was because she had been specially trained several times, but there still wasn't any change.
However, thinking about it, it made sense. She had shielded her sister from the winds and rain for so many years, and had tasted the cold and cruelty of the world. If she did not appear, perhaps her life would have gone on tragically.
But now it was different. She could give him any 'hope' that she wanted. What else could she not understand? If not for her outstanding talent in intelligence, Gongsun Zaitian would have given up on this pair of sisters completely. Perhaps he shouldn't have pulled her from a whirlpool to another one.
"You gave me my life. I will die for you. I will die with no regrets!" Su Wanyue firmly answered. Ever since she and her sister were brought here by Gongsun Ze Tian, she kept reminding herself that with her status, she was destined to be treated like a chess piece. She had even made the preparations to be treated as an abandoned child.
"Fool, you are not only alive for me, but also for your parents' sake, as well as your sister. Have you ever thought about what would happen to your sister if you die?" Gongsun Ztian harrumphed coldly and berated. This kind of 'a warrior dies for his benefactor' was something that Gongsun Ze Tian hated the most. Could it be that the reason he was acting alone was to make the other party pay with his life? If that was the case, then why did he have to save her? Wouldn't it be easier to die then?
"If I leave, the pavilion master can take care of my sister for me! With Pavilion Master here, I am at ease! " Su Wanyue still hadn't realized her mistakes and misconceptions, so she continued to speak on her own.
"Then you can't give up on yourself so easily. You can only survive if you want to!" This was not the first time he tried to persuade Su Wanyue this, but the other party was already indifferent to it, as if he was trying to force himself.
"But I did my best. I know my ability wasn't good enough, and I don't have any more strength left!" I'm so tired! I'm afraid that I cannot persevere any longer! " Su Wanyue replied to Gongsun Zaitian somewhat slyly.
"This is just training, if it is true combat, no one will come to save you, and if you give up on yourself, then you will undoubtedly die! Don't tell me you did your best. Only those who survive can say that you did your best! Do you understand? " Gongsun Ze Tian sighed heavily, crouched down, and said to her slowly on the same level as Su Wanyue.
? ?.
"Yeah, am I really going to give up now? I haven't tried my best. I want to live! I still want to see him again and personally tell her about this moment in time in my heart! " At this moment, Su Wanyue's state of mind, which was like a mirror, inexplicably throbbed. It was precisely that ethereal, rootless voice that awakened Su Wanyue, who was waiting for her death.
"But ?" But death is so close to you, and right now, you really have no way of resisting. Even if you want to live, how can you let yourself live? " Immediately after, Su Wanyue's heart sank again. Because she had suffered heavy injuries in succession, let alone dodging the opponent's attack, she might not even be able to lift a finger. Like this, she could only continue to wait for her death.
Su Wanyue could already feel the opponent's palm approaching him, which meant that the real killing move was not too far away from her, and death was just in the blink of an eye.
"Am I really going to die?" "I'm a bit unresigned. I really want to live on ?" "You ?. A trace of bitterness emerged in Su Wanyue's heart. Even though he had experienced a struggle in her heart, he still chose to give up in the end. It wasn't that he didn't want to try his best, it was just that he didn't have the chance. Su Wanyue slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the time to strike.
'Bang ? ' The loud sound was even louder than the previous ones. It was like the muffled sound of a super avalanche. Not only did the rumbling sound reach one's ears, it even made one's heart palpitate with fear.
Before the voice had dissipated, the scholar had already begun to retreat. This time, he did not steadily land on the ground, but instead indifferently admired the miserable appearance of the prey in front of him, and quickly retreated, retreating at a speed even faster than when he first arrived, like a cannonball, flying in a straight line in the direction he had come from. After flying for more than ten meters, he finally came to a stop at the sixth tree trunk.
'Wow... ' The moment he stopped, the scholar spat out a large mouthful of blood, unable to stop himself. Not only that, his right hand was still trembling, no worse than the person who had suffered a stroke and cerebral palsy.
At this moment, the scholar was extremely shocked. His arm felt a tearing pain, and even his chest felt the excruciating pain of a sledgehammer smashing down. However, this pain was nothing compared to the burning anger in his heart.
Earlier, when he was about to kill that bitch, someone suddenly used his own life in exchange for hers. However, he didn't expect that someone would stop him after he took care of everyone else. Could that bitch be someone with a deep background?
He raised his head, wanting to clearly see who the person was, but he thought that the other party would definitely not be any better off, after all, he had used his entire body's worth of skills on this palm, even if it was a level 6 middle ranked person, they would probably not be able to handle it. However, this also showed the extent of his hatred for Su Wanyue.
"His ability is lacking and he's quite bold. The only thing is that he's cruel and merciless. He can still talk back in front of him!" Before the scholar could see the appearance of this person, he heard him say something so unreasonably domineering and full of confidence.
Who could he be?
