When Shang Jingtian threw away the blunt blade, he had already lost his chance to live.
With the blade in hand, he could at least fight against Xiao Zheng.
Right now, he had already lost the chance to live.
This is probably the reason why the more you care about something, the easier it is to lose it.
If he was a bit more ruthless, a bit more decisive, he might not have let Ling Lai's father escape.
But because he was too desperate to live, he let go of that defenseless bastard!
Right now, he can only struggle to face the murderous Xiao Zheng.
Furthermore — — he has no intention to fight at all!
"Boss Shang, you probably never thought that you would die here, and that I would die in such a humiliating way, right?" Xiao Zheng's eyes were filled with killing intent as he approached Shang Jingtian.
"Xiao Zheng, we can talk terms." A middle-aged man who has lost his will to fight, who knows he has no way to escape, how could he be a match for a young man in his early thirties?
And this young man is filled with killing intent!
Xiao Zheng shook his head and refused: "You don't have any conditions that I have to accept"
"This time, I'm really going to back out. I'll leave everything to Shang Yao. She can do whatever she wants, I won't ask anymore "Shang Jingtian retreated, his face filled with fear.
"You tricked me once, I won't be tricked twice" Xiao Zheng shook his head and refused.
"I can leave this place and never return to Hua Xia." Shang Jingtian continued when he saw that Xiao Zheng wasn't willing to agree to it. "Are you relieved now?"
"I'll only be relieved when you're dead" as soon as Xiao Zheng said that, Shang Jingtian who was filled with despair suddenly attacked!
Like an assassin living in the dark, he suddenly stabbed at Xiao Zheng's heart!
This strike was fast and ruthless, without any warning. If Xiao Zheng didn't have such outstanding reflexes, he might have been stabbed to death!
Unfortunately, Xiao Zheng had already predicted all of Shang Jingtian's sneak attacks. With a backhand chop, he repelled Shang Jingtian's attack. He followed up with a Dragon Raising Its Head!
Roar!
The dragon's roar suddenly sounded, and the living room was actually illuminated by a cold light!
On the other hand, Shang Jingtian's frail figure left a huge black shadow on the wall.
Puchi!
A pool of blood splattered on the wall as Shang Jingtian clutched his neck in pain. That paint-like fresh blood gushed out from the gaps between his fingers.
"You —"
Shang Jingtian staggered backwards and finally knelt on the ground.
He breathed heavily, trying to fight for a few more seconds to live in this world that no longer belonged to him. But no matter how much he breathed, he was always exhaling more than he was inhaling.
In less than ten seconds, Shang Jingtian finally gave up resisting. He allowed the coldness to invade his body. Not long after, his body went numb and he lost consciousness.
Xiao Zheng calmly glanced at Shang Jingtian who was lying in a pool of blood.
Killing this old fox that he had dealt with for many years, Xiao Zheng didn't feel satisfied at all. In fact, he didn't even feel relieved.
He only thought that if Shang Jingtian died, it would be more beneficial for him and everyone else. That was why he had the thought of killing Shang Jingtian.
He wasn't like the past, where he was always so free to avenge. Only when he had a grudge with someone, would he do so.
This difference in nature, to a certain extent, had deprived him of the happiness of avenging others. But he knew that this was his current life, and it was something that he had to face in the future.
When he turned around, Xiao Zheng saw Ling Lai and his daughter who were calmly watching him do all of this.
They didn't notice anything strange, it was as if they were watching Xiao Zheng eat a meal. The same calmness, the same coldness, the same numbness.
Perhaps these two people who lived in the royal palace had already become numb to killing. They also understood that losers often ended up dead.
The reason why King Ling Lai was so ruthless was because he was used to such filthy things since he was young.
"Your Majesty, I need to borrow your medical team." Xiao Zheng slightly shook his severely fractured left arm.
King Ling Lai nodded and said, "No problem."
Then, she turned around and ordered her subordinates, "Bring Boss Xiao to the infirmary."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiao Zheng didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he said with something on his mind, "About Miss Shang —"
"I'll go there. Don't worry, Boss Xiao," King Ling Lai explained. "Plus, I think I have the most say in this. After all, I killed my mother with my own hands. "
Xiao Zheng nodded and left.
His footsteps were a bit heavy, but he knew he just did what he should and must do.
As long as Shang Jingtian didn't die, he wouldn't be at ease. He didn't know how many more people this old fox would harm, and how many people he cared about.
Shang Yao was one of them.
Of course, King Ling Lai was also one of them.
After King Ling Lai saw Xiao Zheng off, he showed a serious expression. Then, he sighed and said to his father, "You should rest too."
"I can't sleep after what happened," Ling Lai's father shook his head and said slowly. "You go and accompany Miss Shang. I'll deal with the aftermath."
King Ling Lai nodded and said, "Thank you."
Then, she pushed the wheelchair and left under the care of her subordinates.
But after a while, she couldn't help but turn around and said, "I was just scaring him. I didn't really want to leave."
"I know," Ling Lai's father nodded and said. "Even if it's true, it's fine. You're the emperor, and I'm just an insignificant person. "
King Ling Lai opened his mouth but didn't explain in the end.
Just as Ling Lai's father said, she was the emperor, and there were always many things more important than family.
And eliminating those who challenged the emperor's dignity was one of them.
When King Ling Lai came to Shang Yao's room, Shang Yao was drinking tea at the table.
She couldn't sleep, and she was more nervous than ever.
She didn't feel relieved, but she also knew it wasn't optimistic.
When King Ling Lai appeared in her room, she knew the result.
Because His Majesty had a faint sadness on his face, as well as a trace of comfort that she had never seen before.
"He —"
"Dead." King Ling Lai finished what Shang Yao wanted to say. "He died with one slash."
Shang Yao, who was drinking tea, paused for a moment as countless sorrowful feelings emerged in her heart. But she didn't say anything.
"You can go home and take control of the country. Yan clan, and Shang clan. "King Ling Lai said slowly. "No matter what kind of business ambitions you have, you can execute them smoothly."
Shang Yao took a deep breath and looked up at King Ling Lai: "Your Majesty, when you killed your mother, did you feel the same way?"
"More or less." King Ling Lai added. "The situation is very similar."
Shang Yao stared straight at King Ling Lai and asked: "You've never regretted it?"
"Why should I?" King Ling Lai asked in return.
"Because — — she is the closest person to us." Shang Yao said bitterly. Her heart was heavy.
"I don't know if she is the closest person to you. But she was never the closest person to me. "King Ling Lai questioned. "Or else, why did I kill her?"
Or else, why didn't you stop Xiao Zheng from killing your father? Use your life to stop him?
Because — — you already accepted this outcome!
