Chapter 286: I want you to die with him.

Chapter 286

"Unfortunately, a pair of ill-fated lovebirds, Feng Ying, that foolish person, failed to protect the one he wanted to protect even in death. He won't rest in peace in the netherworld, will he..."

Meihua Q's mocking laughter echoed through the castle.

Qiao Ying's eyes turned bloodshot, accentuating the pallor of her face drained of color. Her murderous intent filled the air, distorting the space around her. With bloodthirsty eyes fixed on Meihua Q, she uttered each word with emphasis, "I want you all to accompany him in death!"

Meihua Q, having achieved his goal of provoking Qiao Ying, began to envision how he would take revenge on her once he captured her.

He casually ordered, "Feng Ying, go kill her."

The clone on the second floor obeyed the command and leaped down, standing in front of Qiao Ying. He gazed at his target without a trace of human emotion in his eyes, his demeanor as cold as a machine.

Yet, this machine had flesh and blood.

Moreover, it contained Feng Ying's genes within it.

Feng Ying wouldn't look at her with such eyes. Qiao Ying, facing the familiar yet unfamiliar clone before her, wasted no time and lunged at the clone of Feng Ying, aiming to end the fight quickly.

Among the members of Shadow Squadron, Feng Ying's strength was second only to Blood Shadow's, and their skills were extremely similar, as they were true disciples of the same master.

Both of them were well aware of each other's abilities.

Driven by anger, Qiao Ying displayed astonishing explosive power, launching fierce and merciless attacks that the clone of Feng Ying struggled to defend against.

His strength was inferior to Blood Shadow's, but he excelled in his lack of emotions and desires, maintaining a calmness unaffected by external factors.

The two engaged in a battle that was difficult to separate.

However, Qiao Ying ultimately had the upper hand in terms of strength. She dodged the clone's attack with a sidestep and followed up with a sweeping kick, causing the clone of Feng Ying to retreat more than ten steps.

Regaining his balance, Feng Ying took out throwing knives as his weapon.

He tightly grasped the knives in his hand, took a step forward, and charged at Qiao Ying once again.

Observing the situation, Meihua Q realized that Qiao Ying's skills were exactly the same as Blood Shadow's, with a similarity that was as if they were the original and the clone.

No wonder JOKER insisted on investigating the relationship between Qiao Ying and Blood Shadow no matter what.

With such resemblance, how could they not be curious?

Meihua Q looked at the battle and said solemnly, "Moon Shadow, why don't you help? What are you standing there for?"

Moon Shadow watched as Qiao Ying gained the upper hand and fell silent for a moment. He slowly drew the dagger from his body and replied, "Understood."

Complex emotions were concealed beneath his icy gaze.

As the sound of a blade piercing flesh echoed, blood splattered, and the sharp weapon at the end of the chain pierced through Qiao Ying's shoulder, impaling her.

Seizing the opportunity, Wind Shadow swiftly followed up, sending Qiao Ying flying with a kick, forcibly dislodging the weapon from her shoulder, causing it to return to Meihua Q's hand.

The weapon was covered in barbs, tearing away chunks of flesh as it was forcefully pulled out of her body.

Qiao Ying crashed heavily into the wall, falling to the ground and spitting out mouthfuls of blood. Her clothes on her shoulder were drenched in blood.

Her face turned ashen, her breathing erratic, and cold sweat covered her body.

Never before had she been in such a sorry state.

The cloned Wind Shadow pressed on her relentlessly.

If Wind Shadow knew that one day his clone, created with his own genes, would give everything to kill the person he would risk his life to protect, then he would truly die with his eyes open.

After all, a clone is still a clone. It inherits everything from its source, except for Wind Shadow's feelings towards Blood Shadow.

Qiao Ying struggled to get up from the ground and once again confronted the approaching Wind Shadow.

She never did anything without certainty, even when she possessed strength and confidence. However, the appearance of the cloned Wind Shadow was something she had not anticipated.

Meihua Q said, "Take her down now!"

Moon Shadow hesitated for a moment, but at Meihua Q's command, he once again charged at Qiao Ying.

Before Moon Shadow could reach her, Qiao Ying made a desperate effort and plunged her dagger into Wind Shadow's chest.

Wind Shadow tightly grasped the hand holding the knife, preventing it from going any further, while simultaneously throwing a throwing dart toward Qiao Ying's neck.

At that moment, Meihua Q's chain was once again flung out.

At the end of the chain, a weapon stained with her blood rapidly enlarged in Qiao Ying's eyes, seemingly about to pierce into her eyeball.

Before Qiao Ying could react, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the weapon before her.

The tip of the weapon stopped just short of her eyeball.

"Meihua Q, what are you doing?" Moon Shadow asked in a deep voice.

The one holding the weapon was none other than Moon Shadow.

Meihua Q's gaze turned icy. "Let go!"

Moon Shadow remained silent and didn't release it.
