Chapter 626: Conclusion (2/2)

Kong Fangyuan was drenched in cold sweat despite being well-guarded by the loyal guards from his main branch. He had never imagined that Lu Sha was actually hiding his true strength.

Only now did he start to regret not listening to his clan uncle’s dissuasion. Hiring someone like Lu Sha was simply too dangerous. Even his entire squad at full power might not be the man’s match. If it wasn’t for the werewolf count chasing them down all the way without giving them time to breathe, this group might’ve turned the tables on them and become the masters instead.

Qianye also far exceeded his expectations. As expected of someone who had been offered the best terms in the Li family, he was able to fight so fiercely even after an ambush.

During the intense battle, Qianye and Lu Sha pulled away all of a sudden and faced each other from ten meters away.

Kong Fangyuan’s eyes twitched hard because there were thorns and brambles throughout the battlefield. It would seem Lu Sha had tried his utmost, while Qianye’s domain had never appeared since the very beginning. Judging from the situation, it looked like Lu Sha was being suppressed. However, Qianye didn’t care about the thorns in his hasty retreat.

Kong Fangyuan saw a sharp thorn tear through Qianye’s leg guard and leave a cut on his calf.

Kong Fangyuan knew very well how powerful Lu Sha’s thorns were. They had even cut through an arachne viscount’s legs during one of the previous battles, but it left only a small cut on Qianye. There wasn’t even any blood.

A fountain of blood poured out of the wound on Qianye’s back as they stood in confrontation, gushing several meters outward. The color of the blood contained a tinge of abnormal green to it.

Lu Sha finally smiled as he sneered, “It would seem my brother didn’t die for nothing. You’re indeed difficult to deal with, but you will go down today to accompany my brothers!”

“To kill them all over again?”

Lu Sha’s eyes narrowed. “You can’t control the damage anymore. I can exhaust you to death in another quarter hour. If you have any last words, say them quickly. Maybe I’ll help you if I’m in a good mood.”

Qianye replied indifferently, “Unfortunately, I’m not in the mood to listen to yours, though. Goodbye.”

Lu Sha had been guarded against a big move from Qianye. Startled upon seeing the latter throw East Peak to the ground and draw his twin handguns, he couldn’t help but say, “You think I’ll let you finish charging your gun?”

The two were but ten meters away—this was a distance he could cover in one sprint and also within the range of his domain and origin power. It was a situation least suited for firearms because most people wouldn't even have the time to charge up.

Much of Qianye’s information had been dug up as he rose to fame. For instance, his rise to power on the Evernight Continent was as a long-range sniper. However, a sniper required distance to bring out his full power. That was also why Lu Sha was willing to completely offend the Kong family and finish Qianye off here.

Lu Sha realized something from how Qianye had sniped that werewolf count. Once this opportunity was missed, it would be fairly difficult to even find Qianye in this accursed environment. Even if they could chase him down, the damage caused by a super long range sniper was unbearable.

Lu Sha had no idea why Qianye would commit such a mistake, but he was never one to let go of the enemy’s foolishness. The origin vortices in Lu Sha’s body revolved at its highest speed as a deep, almost-tangible origin power rushed out from his arms.

A scarlet mist suffused with golden specks rose up around Qianye and turned increasingly brilliant. The glow filled everyone’s vision in the blink of an eye, preventing them from seeing anything else! At the same time, a pair of luminous wings spread out behind Qianye as he merged the two guns into one. A spot of light lit up at the muzzle, and it actually stifled both conflicting origin powers in the field for a split second.

The light scattered moments later, and everyone finally regained their sense of vision.

Lu Sha’s face was filled with horror as he looked down at the round hole on his chest. The defect was merely the size of a fist and went straight through his back. One could see the flesh and organs within his body, but there was nothing where his heart was supposed to be.

Those remaining organs were still moving, but there was no longer any life force in them. They were only maintaining their form and wiggling due to the inertia.

Gradually, these moving organs turned ashen white and broke down into a pile of powder in front of Lu Sha. The latter struggled briefly, but this caused a cloud of ashen mist to erupt from the hole—this dust was what remained of his heart.

Lu Sha looked up and stared intently at Qianye. “You… can’t escape. I’ll be waiting for you down there.”

Qianye put away the Twin Flowers and watched Lu Sha in silence.

The man hadn’t even finished speaking when he slowly fell down, never to move again. He hadn’t underestimated his enemy—with the power he had mustered at the very end, even a shot from a grade-seven gun, fired by someone at his level, would only be able to break his defenses at most.

Unfortunately, though, he was facing the Shot of Inception.
