Chapter 311 - Berserk (2/2)
Xie Tianyang was shuddering, his eyes flashing with bloodthirst. Chu Qingcheng and her girls looked at Zhuo Fan with no little reproach and blame.
[Has this man become dead inside? How can he say such cruel things, now of all times?]
Long Xingyun was the only one who nodded, “Brother Zhuo is right. The Esoteric Debate is fraught with danger and no one can guarantee one’s survival. The top priority is unchanged, to leave this place as soon as possible. Brother Zhuo, I heard you snatched the fourth Brimming Sacred Pill. Don’t forget your brothers and leave us one as well.”
“I will.” Zhuo Fan nodded.
Whoosh!
Xie Tianyang had had enough, his killing intent spiked, his eyes bloodshot and his sword pierced for Zhuo Fan, “Bastard! I knew this was all a diversion. You threw us along as bait while you went for the Brimming Sacred Pill. You killed Ning’er!”
“What? That’s… Flowing Space’s Nine Forms. Stop, Tianyang!”
Xie Tianshang cried for him in panic. For him to use Flowing Space’s Nine Forms on Zhuo Fan, he was fully intent on killing him.
[They were as close as brothers, so how did it come to this…]
He was too late. Xie Tianyang’s attack shot for Zhuo Fan, who merely laid on the ground.
When the sword attack was upon him, a mere flash of golden light from his eye blinked it out of existence. He then popped behind Xie Tianyang and struck his neck.
Boom!
Xie Tianyang laid in a meter wide hole, out cold.
The shock was palpable on everyone’s faces.
They knew of Zhuo Fan’s power, but hearing about it and seeing it for themselves were two different things. The second young master of Sword Marquise Abode was dealt with in one blow.
Xie Tianshang cupped his hands, “Brother Zhuo, please forgive my reckless brother…”
“No need. We’re leaving.” Zhuo Fan’s hand flashed and two blue crystals sank into the water exit’s groove.
The water exit then released a light pillar towards the heavens.
Zhuo Fan pointed, “The array is open, let’s move.”
At Zhuo Fan’s invitation, Xie Tianshang and the others breathed easier. He carried his brother, while Xue Gang took his sister’s body. They passed through the light and arrived in Dragon Cloud City.
At the familiar sight, they all relaxed as if they had escaped hell.
Zhuge Changfeng smiled, “Sir Leng, by the looks of it, the savage beast hasn’t gone mad. In fact, he handled everything with exceeding calm.”
Leng Wuchang frowned as his eyes were skeptical, [Was I wrong?]
Chu Qingcheng came to Zhuo Fan, but didn’t walk through the exit, “Zhuo Fan, I was wrong about you. A cold and ruthless man like you isn’t worthy of a woman’s love.”
Zhuo Fan just stood there.
“Darling, you…” Xiao Dandan shook her head in disappointment then went away as well.
Dong Xiaowan’s group merely sighed before following.
They were the winners, but nobody felt like one. The prevalent mood was glum and despondent.
The only one left was Chu Qingcheng. She walked to the array without sparing him a second look. But then she caught sight of the bloodstains on the ground and was stunned.
Looking closer, Zhuo Fan’s hands were so tightly clenched, his nails had dug into his flesh and blood trailed between his fingers.
Zhuo Fan had the Diamond Body. Just what kind of power did he wield to even harm himself?
Chu Qingcheng cried, “Zhuo Fan, you…”
But Zhuo Fan pushed her through the pillar and she found herself back in Dragon Cloud City.
Chu Qingcheng was worried sick now, looking at the water National Elemental Stone. She shouted at the cold Zhuo Fan beyond the veil, “Zhuo Fan, what are you doing?”
A pity the array only worked one way…
No one could make sense of Drifting Flowers Edifice lord’s outburst, why was she so distraught.
It was soon made clear however.
Zhuo Fan pulled the keys and threw them away.
His bloody hands spread, his body shivered, his eyes were bloodshot as lightning crackled. All that was heard was his roar, “Ning’er!”
The rage had been held back long enough and it now consumed his mind…
