Chapter 325 Betrayed by His Brother
Qin Sheng used to face all those difficulties and obstacles himself. Maybe because he was a lucky person, he always survived. However, he was not a cat, which had nine lives in the legend tales. Qin Sheng only had one life, and he was running out of luck. Last time, when he had gotten into trouble in Mount Jiuhua, he had almost died.
But today, his situation was even worse than last time. He never expected that one of his brothers, who he had been trusting, would betray and try to kill him. Qin Sheng was in a terrible mood because of this.
Fortunately, the Heaven had yet to give up on Qin Sheng. Instead, it let him lose something and also gain something. Gu Xiaobo had betrayed him, but Gu Qingyang had moved him. But Gu Qingyang had done so much that Qin Sheng might never do enough in return.
It was easy to say, “Don’t be afraid of death.”, but difficult to do it. After all, people only had one life. If one died, then all he owned and who he was would be meaningless. Gu Qingyang was faithful and righteous enough to die for Qin Sheng. Or maybe he was trying to make up for the pain Gu Xiaobo’s betrayal had caused to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng finally made his decision to leave. As Gu Qingyang had said, if he stayed, then both of them would die here. They were not powerful enough to fight against Gu Xiaobo, Feng He and his underlings. Now that they had come to kill Qin Sheng, they must be fully prepared. Feng He never made the same mistakes twice since he knew Qin Sheng’s ability.
When Qin Sheng left, Gu Qingyang felt relieved and walked toward the opposite direction, where their enemies were approaching. It was hard since he knew that he was walking step by step to death.
As he expected, Gu Qingyang met the three men. They looked at each other to communicate and made the wisest decision—one would deal with Gu Qingyang, while the other two would go to catch Qin Sheng.
As the other two men were about to pursue Qin Sheng, Gu Qingyang blocked their way. The one, who was appointed to deal with Gu Qingyang, rushed at him and started a fight.
Gu Qingyang was not as excellent as Gu Xiaobo in martial arts, but it was not hard for him to beat that man. Gu Qingyang was very careful on every move, giving the man a chain of punches. The man felt it difficult to defend and stepped back. Finally, he struck back Gu Qingyang with a sweeping leg.
Gu Qingyang wanted to chase the other two men in case that they caught Qin Sheng, but he couldn’t get rid of the one he was fighting with. This man had understood Gu Qingyang’s strategy, dealing with it cleverly.
Gu Qingyang was raged for what had happened today. Gu Xiaobo’s betrayal had astonished and hurt him more enormously than anybody else had done. Except for his Master, Gu Xiaobo was the closest person to Gu Qingyang, for they had grown up together.
Today, Gu Xiaobo had betrayed them. Of course, he had not only betrayed Qin Sheng but him as well. Gu Qingyang couldn’t understand this, nor could he bear it. He thought he knew Gu Xiaobo, but now he found his impression was wrong. Gu Qingyang had been taught that people would change a lot in their life, especially when they moved from the suburb to the urban area. But he never expected that Gu Xiaobo would have changed so quickly.
Nobody could tell people’s heart and mind.
That was why Gu Qingyang, who used to be always calm, was in a mess in his mind. As a result, he was trapped by that man. Thinking that Qin Sheng was in a more and more dangerous situation, Gu Qingyang broke out, swooping down toward the man all of a sudden. He bore the kick from the man and grabbed his rival’s shoulder, throwing him out with all his power. The man was sent flying to a tree and fell on the ground.
Gu Qingyang wanted to follow the other two men, but his rival quickly stood up and rushed toward him at once. The man seemed to become even stronger, giving Gu Qingyang no chance to escape. The two started another round of battle then.
When Gu Qingyang finally got a chance to beat that man down, Feng He and Gu Xiaobo arrived. Feng He threw a dagger to Gu Qingyang, who was drown in his rage too deep to realize the danger behind. Thus, the dagger was stabbed into Gu Qingyang’s back.
Gu Qingyang was violently raged by the sneak attack. He hit his rival down on the ground with his elbow and turned his head around slowly to gaze at Feng He and Gu Xiaobo. The man that he used to be most familiar with felt most foreign now.
Gu Qingyang’s eyes and smile betrayed irony, laughing at Gu Xiaobo. He shouted at the betrayer, “You want to kill me? Come on! Do it!”
Feng He squinted, feeling annoyed. His target was Qin Sheng, and he didn’t want to waste his time on Qin Sheng’s underling. Feng said to Gu Xiaobo directly, “Kill him.”
Gu Xiaobo had mixed feelings, mainly sadness. It was relatively easy for him to kill Qin Sheng since they didn’t know each other long, adding that their friendship was tainted by interest relationship. But it was still hard for him to kill Gu Qingyang, a good friend as close as his real brother.
Anyway, Gu Qingyang was different to him. They had learned from the same Master, growing up together like real brothers. It took incredible determination to make up his mind to kill Gu Qingyang, which would be a nightmare during all his later life.
“You changed. You really changed. You’re not the person I knew before. Anyway, remember. I’ll get mine and you’ll get yours. I believe Brother Qin will take revenge for me,” said Gu Qingyang, laughing like he was afraid of nothing.
Feng He was annoyed. He said coldly, “Go and get him. If not, and if he leaves alive, he’ll absolutely come to kill you.”
