1466 Regret!
"You should be from the same place as him. You might even be from the same sect." Fear flashed across Lord Demon's eyes. Even though they were enemies and it was that person who gave the order to kill them, he was still unsure if this would become a hidden danger.
"Him? Who is he? "Mu Chaoran's heart skipped a beat. He quickly exchanged glances with Tang Ningyu.
Lord Demon raised his eyebrows. "Heh, that's not something you can know."
As soon as he finished speaking, the overwhelming number of snake heads swept towards the two of them like waves. It was as if they wouldn't stop until the two of them were swallowed whole.
Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran swung their fists at almost the same time.
A purplish-blue fire dragon and a purplish-red lightning dragon roared out. The two dragons suddenly intertwined and finally turned into a purplish-red lightning dragon. It fiercely bit at the sea of black snake heads that covered the sky, as if it wanted to bite this sea of black snake heads into pieces.
"Dream on!" Lord Demon snorted. The raging waves became even more ferocious.
Boom! The two forces finally collided with each other.
Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu suddenly flew backwards and crashed into a huge pillar beside them. The huge force broke the pillar. If it wasn't for the fact that the palace was extremely sturdy, the roof above would have collapsed.
"Pfft!" The two of them spat out blood at almost the same time. The huge difference in strength caused the two of them to be severely injured.
"You guys are indeed not bad. But that's all you are. Compared to that person, the difference is like heaven and earth," Lord Demon said calmly as he pinched the purplish-red lightning dragon with his right hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, he squeezed hard with his fingers. The lightning dragon wailed weakly and instantly disappeared without a trace.
"Next, it's time to deal with you guys." Lord Demon frowned and slowly walked towards Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu. The two of them were severely injured and couldn't move for a while. They could only watch as the Grim Reaper slowly approached and reaped their lives.
In the Blue Palace, two people were sitting on the steps in front of the main hall. The two of them were 50 centimeters apart, each sitting in a corner. They did not interfere with each other and remained silent. It was as if they were competing to see who could keep their composure.
"Hey, Lin Zhong-qing." The people on the side finally couldn't stand the silent atmosphere and angrily called out to the person beside them who was too damn calm.
Lin Zhong-qing turned his head expressionlessly. "Hmm?"
"Do you think we'll die here?" Li Yingjie put his hands behind him and looked up at the starry sky. The stars here were very close to them, and each one was as big as a luminous pearl, illuminating the surrounding environment very clearly.
Li Yingjie used to be very arrogant and thought highly of himself. But after being by Ling Lan's side for so long, he knew the gap between him and Ling Lan. They also knew that the enemy that came tonight was not someone they could fight against.
Perhaps, the moment they exchanged blows, it would mean that their deaths had arrived.
"So what if he's dead? We should have died anyway. "Lin Zhong-qing thought it through.
If Boss didn't risk his life to activate the god-class mecha and fight against the enemy, they wouldn't have been able to wait for reinforcements. They would have died on Planet Haijiao. Their lives were saved by Boss. It was already worth it to be able to live for so many years.
"But I still want to live. I still have many things to do." Li Yingjie's eyes were filled with the desire to live. There was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
Lin Zhong-qing actually felt that Li Yingjie, who was filled with vitality, was much more pleasing to the eye.
After a moment of silence, Lin Zhong-qing asked, "Boss asked you to go back. Why didn't you go back?"
"If all of you stayed here and I went back, wouldn't you all laugh at me for being a coward?" Li Yingjie glared at Lin Zhong-qing fiercely. He didn't want them to look down on him, especially this person who he looked down on and bullied in the past.
"No. You have a family, responsibilities, and ambitions. You are not on the same side as us." Lin Zhong-qing was puzzled why Li Yingjie was so obsessed with their opinions. From the start, he was one of them. If it wasn't for Boss, who was so powerful that Li Yingjie had no choice but to lower his head, he would have fallen out with them long ago.
"What do you mean we are not on the same side? Since when are we not on the same side? " Li Yingjie said angrily. It was this attitude that made him unhappy. It was as if he was never one of them. It was as if he was never in their eyes. This feeling of disregard made him furious. At the same time, he also felt a sense of defeat.
"Isn't your dream to become the head of the Li family?" Lin Zhong-qing still remembered Li Yingjie's great ambition.
"Becoming the head of the family has nothing to do with whether you all are on the same side or not." Li Yingjie obviously didn't give up on this goal. However, it didn't mean that he wasn't on the same side as them.
Lin Zhong-qing thought about it seriously and felt that Li Yingjie wasn't wrong. "Alright, then shouldn't you stay alive to become the head of the family?"
If that was the case, why should he stay and die? He couldn't understand.
In the past, Lin Zhong-qing felt that he understood Li Yingjie very well. However, after these few years, he felt that he didn't understand him that well anymore. If Li Yingjie stayed in Lingtian, there were many people above him. Although under the leadership of Boss, he had many military achievements and climbed up the ranks like a rocket. However, no matter how fast he climbed, there were many people above him who were faster than him. This made Li Yingjie seem less outstanding.
If he went to the army arranged by the Li family, with Li Yingjie's ability, he would be able to reach the rank of major general before the age of 40 with the help of the Li family. If he could get a few more military achievements, it wouldn't be impossible for him to become the head of an army. It was a safe and stable path. Why would he come to Lingtian and get involved in this mess?
"Actually, after I rejected Boss, I also asked myself why I rejected him." Li Yingjie smiled bitterly. He knew that there was an unbreakable barrier between him and the people in Lingtian. Although they treated him very well and were like brothers, they were just like brothers. They weren't real brothers. Li Yingjie was originally a smart person. After so many years, how could he not know the difference between the two?
Since you all can't treat me wholeheartedly, it's natural for me to let go and leave now.
Li Yingjie knew that they wouldn't blame him. He also didn't have any psychological burden. However, in the end, he still didn't want to leave.
"Then, did you find the answer?" Lin Zhong-qing was curious.
"No, I don't know either." Li Yingjie was a little lost. He only knew that he was unwilling to leave just like that. If all these people died, this unwillingness would follow him for the rest of his life. It would make him unable to eat or sleep in peace.
Li Yingjie was a straightforward person. Since he wasn't willing to leave, then he might as well not leave.
"Do you regret it?" Lin Zhong-qing asked.
"Regret?" Li Yingjie laughed self-deprecatingly. "I don't regret my decision now. I just regret …"
Suddenly, he stopped talking. Lin Zhong-qing looked at him in confusion. He didn't understand why he stopped talking.
If I could, I wanted to go back to when I first met you all. I wanted to pretend to be an obedient child and become your friend. I didn't want to be a bully who made people hate me …
You don't know how much I regret it …
