Chapter 1528 - 1526: The Pain in Her Heart Is Worse Than the Pain in Her Body…
Lan Zhengqing listened to the sound, his jaw almost dropped to the ground!
He moved his mouth, his Adam’s apple moved slightly, yet he couldn’t make a single sound!
Silenced!
Completely silenced!
Lan Zhengqing’s throat let out a gurgling sound, his cheeks twitching viciously.
Not even a breath had passed, how could there be no sound outside?
What was happening?!
It was too quiet, like an eternal night’s silence.
Something wasn’t right.
These rebels were all personally trained and guided by him, and together with their inherent resentment, they were merciless and ruthless, making them extraordinarily strong in combat.
It can be said.
The rebels were like vicious dogs, mad dogs!
Even if their cultivation realm wasn’t very high, they had the advantage in numbers, madness, and their vow never to give up until their goal was achieved!
Many who had a higher cultivation realm than Lin Fan also died at the hands of these rebels, precisely for this reason.
Stopping one rebel was manageable, but stopping a group of rebels, that was not easy!
In fact, it was extremely difficult!
There should be a few thousand rebels outside, and the ones charging in just now should have been in the hundreds.
Logically, such a number should have been enough to tear Lin Fan to shreds!
Lin Fan should have long turned to dust, and there should have been cheers resounding outside!
Yet.
Nothing happened.
The scene Lan Zhengqing imagined did not appear.
After the pack of mad dogs rushed forward, it was silent instantly.
It was like a small stone thrown into the sea, not even a ripple appeared, it vanished silently into the ocean.
Impossible, this was absolutely impossible!
Lin Fan was merely a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor, such an insignificant ant, trash, waste, how could he withstand the attack of hundreds of rebels?
And so instantly!
Lan Zhengqing thought, immediately plunging into madness, his heart pounding frantically.
Damn!
Damn!
Damn it, this is damnable!
What exactly was going on outside?! Why was there no sound at all?!
How long has it been?!
A breath...
Two breaths...
Three breaths...
...
It’s been tens of breaths!
Why... why was no one moving, why was no one shouting, why was there no sound?
Countless question marks surfaced in Lan Zhengqing’s mind, turning his heart into a tangled mess, his brain a chaotic mess of stampeding horses, unbearably noisy.
His eyes were wide open, dazed, as he threw Qiu Xi to the ground and slowly stood up.
Staring unblinkingly outside, his eyes empty and lifeless.
Qiu Xi collapsed to the ground, breathing lightly. Thankfully she managed to retain her life, it was all because of Lin Fan’s appearance that saved her.
What kind of person was he really, wasn’t he already gone?
Didn’t he say he would leave after saving people? Why did he come back, was there something he hadn’t done yet?
Or, did he come back for someone?
Thinking this, Qiu Xi’s face turned crimson, her heart fluttering.
She didn’t know why she had such an unrealistic thought, was Lin Fan really back for her...
The next second!
She felt a bone-chilling cold, and upon looking up, saw Lan Zhengqing’s cold, sinister gaze fixed on her.
"Qiu Xi, the person you saw in the cellar, was Lin Fan, right?"
"..."
Qiu Xi’s heart trembled, her body shaking violently.
She didn’t speak, not knowing what to say.
She didn’t want to deceive Lan Zhengqing, as that would mean betrayal, but she also didn’t want to betray Lin Fan, as he promised to help the rebels.
Hence, she could only remain silent.
She thought as long as she kept silent, Lan Zhengqing would have nothing to say, and wouldn’t do anything excessive to her.
That way she could preserve the last bit of a positive image of Lan Zhengqing in her heart.
However.
She didn’t know that Lan Zhengqing wasn’t human!
Furthermore, Lan Zhengqing was in his angriest, most panicked, most unsettled state! Lin Fan’s sudden appearance inexplicably caused him to feel this way.
But.
He believed these feelings shouldn’t exist, existing meant he feared a piece of trash from the Sumeru Continent!
To him, it was a fatal blow, a colossal humiliation!
Thus.
The more Qiu Xi kept silent, the more Lan Zhengqing’s anger swelled!
One breath!
Two breaths!
Three breaths!
After just three breaths, anger completely seized control of Lan Zhengqing’s actions, like a crazed beast, he launched a frenzied attack on Qiu Xi.
"Damn thing!"
"Damn thing!"
"Damn thing!"
He vented all of his rage towards Lin Fan on Qiu Xi.
His fists, like raindrops, fell down!
Crack!
Qiu Xi had no time to react, she hadn’t even expected Lan Zhengqing to suddenly attack her. She thought her silence was a testament to her loyalty to Lan Zhengqing, yet she never imagined her loyalty would earn her such a beating.
Lan Zhengqing truly wasn’t anything good.
Lin Fan was just outside, entangled with the Ice Cicada Sect.
Yet Lan Zhengqing didn’t go out, he didn’t dare confront Lin Fan’s rebirth, instead, he vented all his emotions on a woman.
Without mercy.
Brutal.
Savage.
Slaughter.
Bloodthirsty.
Lan Zhengqing was ruthlessly and swiftly vicious!
Qiu Xi didn’t even have time to grunt when a fist the size of a casserole directly knocked her out.
In an instant.
She felt an unprecedented pain.
This pain was more than a hundred times worse than all the pain she experienced in her previous life combined.
Perhaps, it was the upper limit of imaginable pain in the Five Elements Realm.
Every piece of flesh was bursting open!
Every bone was shattering!
Every pore was roaring!
Every meridian was trembling!
Qiu Xi was so numb from pain, she couldn’t even feel the existence of pain!
She lay on the ground like a dead dog, as if bound by invisible ropes, not moving an inch.
No crying, no tears, no struggle.
It felt as if she kept hovering on the brink of death, each time about to fall into darkness, only to be pulled back again.
Over and over!
This was the terrifying thing about Lan Zhengqing.
He could make you unable to live and unable to die, endlessly torturing you at the edge of pain, letting you suffer all manner of torment and hardship, then letting you perish slowly amidst his sinister laughter.
Qiu Xi was heartbroken.
She stared wide-eyed at the raging Lan Zhengqing, his hideous, twisted, ugly face completely shattering the image she had of Lan Zhengqing in her heart.
The man who once saved her from deep distress was now treating her in the most cruel manner imaginable.
Not only was it physical pain, but emotional pain as well.
Moreover.
The emotional pain outweighed the physical pain.
Tears involuntarily flowed from the corners of her eyes, mixing with the blood strewn all over the ground.
However, Lan Zhengqing, plunged into madness, completely ignored Qiu Xi’s tears, his ruthless blows treated her as if she were a longstanding enemy.
To an outsider, it surely seemed as if they had some deep-seated grudge.
Unbeknownst to them.
Just twenty minutes ago, Qiu Xi was still Lan Zhengqing’s subordinate, and she still held feelings for Lan Zhengqing in her heart.
Bang!
Without even a glance, Lan Zhengqing delivered one last heavy punch to Qiu Xi’s face.
Qiu Xi’s left eye burst open, exploding from its socket!
"Mmph..."
It was only then that she couldn’t suppress a groan.
But by that time, she was already covered in bruises, lying in a pool of blood.
Her body had no unbroken spot left; either it was burst open revealing pale bones or crushed into a heap of flesh.
The once stunningly beautiful woman became a heap of muck in the blink of an eye.
