CH 25

Broken Heart [1]

“Damned bastard!”

“Oh oh oh oh!!” [2] Zhu Ming’s face showed an expression that could not be described as excitement or pain as he kept scratching his face, his clear pale face was scratched with a bloodstain and his body kept trembling, “Daren is still as mesmerising as ever!”

This deranged but powerful guy can be said to be the strongest enemy Shen Qingjia has ever encountered. Unreasonable people are afraid of people who are reckless and the reckless are afraid of suicidal one. [3] Because he’s a lunatic, he doesn’t put anyone’s life in his eyes, not even his own. Moreover, he has more than 20 level 4 experts under him and they also don’t take their lives seriously.

This is… the worst possible situation!

“But now you are obviously hoodwinked by this shameless person. It seems that without breaking your fantasy, you cannot bring your glory back to Zhu’s home!”

Shen Qingjia with a black line [4], said “Hey! Sicko, You keep smearing my name over and over again, do you think I don’t hear you?!!”

A strange cry came from the cave entrance, Shen Qingjia turned around and saw a black monster bird with feathers as hard as steel was hovering and flying over.

Shen Qingjia was overjoyed, “Heise, here!”

After delaying for such a long time, Heise finally came. When the right moment comes, they can just ride Heise and fly away, even if there are a hundred level 4, they can’t fly, right?!

“Oh, oh, oh, oh!!! So Daren graciously spoke so much with this humble one to stall for time to wait for reinforcement.” The mad as a devil Zhu Ming giggled and exclaimed, “The naïve Daren is also graceful.”

Zhu Ai’s face was gloomy, without saying a word, a blue light flashed between her hands hidden from the enemy.

“No!” Shen Qingjia had an ominous premonition in her heart, that’s right! The Zhu family, who had been planning for several months, would not have known that they had flying mounts, so…

Just as she was about to order Heise to leave, a shell explosion came.

“Woo–!!!!”

Like that time when Zhu Ai hit it with two shots, Heise made a tragic cry.

“I’m so sorry Daren, there are high altitude positioning cannonballs waiting quietly below, although, this is just a cannonball with an ordinary level of attack power.” Zhu Ming tore at his hair and smiled, “This kind of high altitude positioning pursuit cannonball, which specialises in dealing with mutant beasts and supernatural, is too expensive, too heavy, takes too long to start up, and is so poorly priced that Master usually discards it, but it is just right for today.”

“Well, giving me hope and then destroying it, breaking my spirit step by step, cutting off all my ties to this world, this is indeed like Zhu Hui’s idea.” Zhu Ai had rather calmed down by this point, “Before, perhaps I might actually return to the Zhu family with you.”

Heise spent the rest of its strength to fly and circled into the cave and fell at the feet of Shen Qingjia. After a brief inspection of the injury, her heart sank into the bottomless abyss.

“Yo yo, the right wing was fractured, the entire left claw was blown off, the sternum was broken and the internal organs were internally bleeding. It seems that it will not survive for half an hour. It really has a strong life force. I thought it could be dealt with at once….” Unexpectedly, Zhu Ming, who just glanced at Heise, quickly reported the injuries, making Shen Qingjia unable to hide it.

Zhu Ming suddenly became quiet, “Now the situation is very clear. Daren, in front is a thousand-metre cliff and at back is the countless humble servants of the Zhu family who love you and admire you, as long as you can kill the despicable person beside you whose face and heart are twisted, the supreme glory of the Zhu family still hangs over you!”

He took a step forward and opened his hands in admiration: “This is really a simple multiple-choice question. With Daren’s wisdom, you can definitely choose the correct answer.”

“…” Shen Qingjia.

A despicable person whose face and heart are twisted? Zhu Ming, are you talking about yourself?! [5]

Zhu Ai sneered, “Do you think you can do anything to me with these transformed accelerated ‘level 4’ defective products behind you?”

“Oh oh oh oh!!! My comrades in arms, your strength has been questioned by the Divine Lord!” [6]

More than 20 ‘level 4’ experts behind Zhu Ming said nothing but they exuded the aura of a level 4 ability user that is like a mountain. Shen Qingjia turned pale and took a step back.

Zhu Ming laughed proudly and said: “Although the value of these transformed accelerated level 4 is low and they are slightly weaker than the real level 4 experts and they only have three days of life left after the transformation. But it is enough to deal with you, even someone as excellent and powerful as Daren, you can’t deal with so many people at the same time!”

“If you insist on fighting back-” Zhu Ming’s pale face, which had been either smiling or distorted, darkened for a moment, and a few strands of murderous intent faintly emerged, “My humble self wouldn’t mind taking a corpse back with me, anyway, the Zhu family just needs an object of worship, what does it matter if it’s dead or alive, don’t you think so ……”

Zhu Ming waved his hand lightly and behind him, more than 20 men in black shone with brilliance of various colours, ready to go.

Shen Qingjia’s heart thumped, originally she thought that the Zhu family needed Zhu Ai, so they would not hurt her too much but now it seems that the situation is not very good!

Gritting her teeth, she had already made up her mind that she would either kill herself or jump off the cliff without alerting Zhu Ai.

When it came to this kind of thing, the two of them always thought in the same direction, not even hesitating to sacrifice themselves to keep the other alive.

Two morons who are always thinking about how to give more to each other, wanting to put the world in front of them for the other to pick, not even bothering to think about things like whether the other person needs it or not.

With one last look at Zhu Ai, Shen Qingjia breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it was revenge or freedom, you could only do that if you were alive. She owed Zhu Ai so much that she could not repay her even if she had to die.

I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I still have a lot of things I want to do in this life and I hope I can do it with you in the next life…

“It seems that Zhu Hui has really gotten the best of me ……” Zhu Miao sighed Ai and whispered, “Intimidation, life and death coercion, psychological induction, strength impact, all these things, this big gift from Zhu Hui is really something that I find hard to refuse.”

Faced with this deadly situation, which was almost impossible to overcome, she was still calm and composed, truly worthy of being called Sacred Lord of Zhu family [7]. Zhu Ming sighed in admiration.

“I am glad you are pleased with the gift.” Zhu Ming gave a graceful bow.

“Since you have delivered the gift to me, there is no reason for me not to accept it.”

Just as the words fell, Zhu Ai’s right hand was enveloped in light, and the sharp, knife-like light of his palm violently penetrated into Shen Qingjia’s back at the heart area!

She was caught completely off guard!!!

Her heart shattered, the pain spread throughout her body, blood gushed out from the wound, Shen Qingjia’s body went cold little by little and with one last look at Zhu Ai, she swayed twice and collapsed softly into Zhu Ai’s arms.

“So.” Zhu Ai’s face was pale and her voice was low, “Are you satisfied.”

Zhu Ming froze for a moment, and then burst out laughing, “This humble one is about to die of joy, Daren really does have her heart set on the Zhu family! I was told by Master that you were treating this girl differently and even this humble one was prepared for anything and had brought 24 transformed accelerated level 4 with me and I prepared to die with you, but now it seems that Master was completely over-worried ……”

The blood on Zhu Ai’s hand was warm, in her mind she kept recalling the last look Shen Qingjia gave her earlier. There was no hatred, no disgust, apart from a little surprise, the eyes were filled with only one sentence.

Zhu Ai, you have to live well ……

Zhu Ming, however, was so happy that he almost jumped up and down, he made his black-clothed men withdraw their supernatural power and looked at Zhu Ai with a fanatical expression, “As long as you return to the Zhu family, Master will definitely lead the Zhu family to the pinnacle of glory together with you!”

Zhu Ai looked at him and smiled.
