"This is the last time I will call you Sister Xi 'er. If you want to kill me, I will not fight back!
But you have to let my brother go. We will always follow you and starve every day!
But we have never regretted it, and we have never had any other thoughts. How you misunderstood is your own business. We have a clear conscience, but I do not want to die in the hands of Chen Yu. You are the only one who can kill me. You have saved me, so I have nothing to say if you take my life, but no one else can. You either kill me or let me go. I would rather die on the battlefield than to die with you hiding and hiding … "
Ning Tianxia's words made Ning Haiya's face change. He rushed over and wanted to cover his brother's mouth, but he was pushed away by his brother. Ignoring everyone's ugly expression, he continued to shout, "It's all your fault. You are afraid that we will be injured, afraid that we will die. You have power, but you lead a group of women and children to starve. You make me look down on you. If you die, so be it. So many classmates have died.
Why can't we die? Others can dominate a place and eat and drink to their heart's content. Why do we have to starve all night? We are not worse than anyone else.
Wang Yang died, and you just cried. Why don't you take us to take revenge? There are always all kinds of reasons. I don't want to hear anymore, and I don't want to feel wronged anymore. I am not afraid of starvation, but I am afraid of being cowardly … "
"Ning Tianxia, shut up. Without Xi 'er, you would have died in the underground shelter. If it was not for Xi' er …" Chen Yu shouted at Ning Tianxia.
He raised the broadsword in his hand and was about to rush over. It was not that he was angry at Ning Tianxia's declaration of independence, but he was more jealous of Ning Tianxia. He was jealous of Ning Tianxia, who was two years younger than him, for shouting out his inner thoughts. Xi 'er was a good person, a kind girl, but that was all. She was definitely not a good leader. She did not know how to make a choice, and she did not know how to take risks. She always gave in for one reason or another. She was betrayed, driven away, isolated, and did not even have enough to eat. Why?
They were not inferior to anyone. Both Xi 'er and he were outstanding evolvers. Many evolvers had died in their hands. Why did they become worse and worse? Even having a full meal had become an important event that was worth cheering for?
Ning Tian roared out these words, which meant that he had completely broken off his relationship with Xi 'er. He wanted to live his life to the fullest. He liked to kill and he liked the fearless battlefield. He didn't want to starve and accompany thousands of pitiful women and children. At this moment, Chen Yu was extremely jealous. Wasn't he also suppressing himself just to be a little closer to Xi' er? But a dead Wang Yang had become a huge mountain between him and Xi 'er. He was him and Wang Yang was Wang Yang. Why should he compare himself with Wang Yang? Why couldn't Wang Yang compare himself with him?
Chen Yu's anger wasn't directed at Ning Tian, but at the depression, grief, and even annoyance in his heart. Ning Tian wasn't afraid of Chen Yu. He was indeed inferior to Chen Yu in a one on one battle, but Chen Yu didn't have the ability to fight back against the joint attack of him and his brother. A savage expression appeared on his face, and he was about to charge forward and kill to his heart's content.
"Stop …"
A delicate shout stopped the two hot-blooded young men. They looked at Xi 'er who had put down the bone bow. Xi' er looked at Ning Tian with a complicated expression. Ning Tian had swept away his usual shyness and timidity and stood in front of her like a true warrior, displaying a different kind of demeanor. She had taken care of Ning Tian too well in the past, so well that Ning Tian himself thought that he was an obedient child. But his determination and resoluteness at this moment showed how much blood was hidden under his obedient appearance.
Chen Yu heard Xi 'er's shout, but he didn't stop. He took two tentative steps forward, but he couldn't take the third step. He had already invested so much in Xi' er. Even if he couldn't take another step forward, he didn't want to take a few steps back. So he restrained himself and turned his head to look at Xi 'er, only to see Xi' er suddenly raise the bone bow and release the bowstring. The sharp arrow that broke through the air made a whistling sound and flashed quickly in his eyes. He didn't even have the time to close his eyes. The sound of wind came from behind, and with a muffled groan, he felt as if the back of his head was hit by a hammer. He immediately flew into the air and slid on the ground for a few meters. His cheek was still rubbing on the ground when he saw Ning Tian, whose cheek was cut with blood, put down his fist and spat at him heavily.
After sending Chen Yu flying, Ning Tian felt refreshed. He raised his hand to wipe off the blood on his cheek that was cut by Xi 'er's sharp arrow, raised his head and shouted at Xi' er, "From now on, you can not recognize me, but I can't not recognize you. As long as you ask, I will do whatever I can …"
After that, he turned his head and shouted at his brother who was stunned,
"Boss is still waiting for the good news. Don't just stand there, let's go …"
The three settlements that Zhang Xiao Qiang was planning to take over were the peripheral forces of the Four Heavenly Kings. He had already taken over one of them, so he sent out the Ning brothers. He did not expect them to be able to take over the other one. He only hoped that they could hold off the evolvers there while he took over the settlement that was closest to the city. Since the Four Heavenly Kings had provoked him, he did not have to worry about anything. He went straight to the gate and killed his way through. Killing their whole family was better than letting them kill him. The mangled corpses on the street made him not want to be attacked again. However, when he rode the water snake into the settlement, he realized that there was no resistance at all. There was not even a single armed person in front of him. The entire settlement was silent, as if it had been abandoned.
The hundred-meter long snake slithered along the wide street, Zhang Xiao Qiang squinted his eyes as he observed his surroundings. The tall buildings on the moon cast black shadows that looked like pillars that supported the heavens. The resplendent starry sky circled above the settlement, as far as the eye could see, one would be lost in the endless sea of stars. The starry sky was like a dream, but it had nothing to do with Zhang Xiao Qiang who was below. The huge water snake shook its head as it slithered forward, occasionally flicking its tongue in a certain direction. Every time it paused, Zhang Xiao Qiang knew that the snake had discovered a group of people hiding in a secluded corner.
The quiet settlement had a strange atmosphere, causing Zhang Xiao Qiang to be cautious. The stranger it was, the more dangerous it was. What made him feel strange was that he did not feel any danger, as though everything was just a joke. The strength he had gathered was not something he could vent. The snake's scales rustled on the smooth ground. The snake's body had already reached the height of a building. Standing on top of the snake, Zhang Xiao Qiang was on high alert. At the same time, he turned his head to look behind him, trying to determine if this was a trap purposely set for him.
When he reached the central area of the settlement, Zhang Xiaoqiang still did not receive any resistance. On the way there, he found at least a dozen hiding spots where people were relatively concentrated. This made him gloomy, and he almost ordered the snake to rush over and chase those people out. He definitely did not believe that the opponent was afraid and did not dare to resist. To be able to abandon 8 survivors in one go, and to be able to ignore the destruction of 200 armed men, this proved that the person hiding behind the scenes was definitely not simple.
Suddenly, the roar of a motor came from afar. Turning his head, he saw that on the road he came from, a few headlights were swaying towards him. After all, it was the people behind him approaching, and this made him frightened. Could it be that it was the ordinary armed forces that were dealing with his subordinates? Just as he was about to turn around and destroy all the hiding spots, the center of the central area suddenly lit up. Lights lit up one after another, forming a bright area that looked like a spider web, allowing Zhang Xiaoqiang to clearly see the situation there …
The huge snake's head was not sensitive to the light, instead, it looked around curiously. Zhang Xiaoqiang stood on the snake's head, squinting his eyes to observe the banquet scene under the light. The snow-white tablecloths, the gorgeous cutlery, the delicate flowers, the shiny metal knives and forks, the dark red wine, the sumptuous food, the beautiful maids, and the soothing music, all of this was like a fantasy in front of his eyes …
There were only two chairs on the long dining table. The host's seat had already been taken, and the only remaining chair was undoubtedly left for Zhang Xiaoqiang. With his sharp observation skills, Zhang Xiaoqiang had already discovered that there was no one else there other than the four maids and the middle-aged man in a fitted suit sitting at the host's seat. His heart thumped, and he jumped off the snake's head, calmly walking towards the dining table. Behind him, Zhang Xiaoqiang's huge body twisted rapidly, spinning towards the center, and kept coiling together, guarding Zhang Xiaoqiang's escape route, isolating the central area from the roads in other areas.
The huge shadow behind Zhang Xiaoqiang supported his confidence. Without any restraint, Zhang Xiaoqiang walked towards the table that had been waiting for a long time, unscrupulously sizing up the well-groomed middle-aged man. The man had also been observing Zhang Xiaoqiang and the water snake behind him. His eyes were gentle, and there was not the slightest hint of nervousness in them. There was a sincere smile on his face, and his white teeth could not help but make people's eyes light up. Coupled with his non-threatening smile, it was easy for people to have a good impression of him.
"This humble servant is Zhang Cheng. I've long heard of your great name. Today, I finally get to see you in person …"
Zhang Cheng stood up and gave a speech of welcome to Zhang Xiaoqiang. He generously extended his arm and politely invited Zhang Xiaoqiang to take a seat. The maids who had been standing on both sides like wooden pillars suddenly came to life, and like fiery butterflies, they arranged everything on the dining table. Not long after, all kinds of utensils that Zhang Xiaoqiang might need were placed in place in front of him. Then, they quietly retreated to the side and remained as silent as before.
