As the butcher's knife approached, Flower Rain felt a sense of helplessness in her heart.
The howling of thousands of ghosts cut through her ears, but she wasn't afraid. Her biggest feeling was regret.
Am I going to die just like that? Is my life going to end just like that?
Countless images appeared in her mind. Since she was born in a prestigious family like the Cai family, her life seemed to be destined to be extraordinary. She went to school when she was young. Before she graduated from primary school when she was 11, she was sent to the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade for training. Then, she was taught by the masters and uncles of the Tang Sect.
In his impression, other than practicing hard day and night, he was alone in a simple and unadorned wooden house, listening to the sound of heavy rain pouring down on the great land of Sichuan. That night where there was no sound and only the sound of the rain accompanied the night felt like it was yesterday.
Gradually, he didn't understand why he was still alive. He clearly had a home, parents, and relatives, but he couldn't go back, couldn't see them, and couldn't think about them. He was always praised by the organization and the sect, but he never felt the slightest bit of joy.
For more than 20 years, she felt like she was living in a lost jungle. She could survive, but she couldn't get out no matter how hard she tried.
When she finished her apprenticeship, she asked her master, "Master, why do people want to live?"
She remembered that her master thought for a long time before telling her, "Because everyone else wants to live."
Yes, it was that answer that made her feel that life should be like this. Who knew why she was living? Wasn't she living for others?
Complicated thoughts flashed through her mind like an electric current. Flower Rain closed her eyes, and an indescribable smile appeared on her elegant and cold face.
However, the pain she was prepared to endure didn't come as expected.
Flower Rain instantly felt that her delicate and sensitive waist was surrounded by a fiery arm. Her body seemed to be carried by someone effortlessly, as if she was a bag.
She seemed to feel the instantaneous movement, but before her brain could react, it was over.
What happened?
"Hey, even if you think you can't escape, you should at least try. Why are you waiting for a knife? You're not ugly, why are you waiting for plastic surgery? Do you want to go to the hospital for plastic surgery? In the wilderness, you don't even need a big knife to cut your butt. "
This somewhat annoying yet familiar voice brought Flower Rain back to reality.
When he opened his eyes, the light in front of him was a little messy. Amidst the light and darkness, the figure of a man stood proudly. He had a cigarette in his mouth, and his nostrils seemed to be puffing out white smoke. He looked like a ruffian, which formed a sharp contrast with the heavy atmosphere at the moment.
It was him!?
Fiercely breaking free from the arm that was wrapped around her, Flower Rain turned around and was astonished to see Yang Chen rolling his eyes at her with a helpless and depressed expression.
"You … why are you … here?" Flower Rain's face was a little red. This was the first time in her life that she had been hugged by a man and had such close contact with him.
At this moment, Yang Cheng's appearance not only surprised Flower Rain, but also the surrounding people felt their hearts skip a beat.
Just now, they thought that Flower Rain was going to be cut in half by Lilith's butcher knife. Unexpectedly, a shadow suddenly swept across the scene, and Flower Rain's body was moved away from her original position. When the scene froze again, this man was already standing there, hugging Flower Rain.
The members of Yong Ye and Second Dragon Group recognized Yang Cheng. They were both happy and hateful. They were happy that Yang Cheng saved Flower Rain, but they were hateful that he actually dared to hug Flower Rain!?
The people from the Church and the Covenant of Darkness, on the other hand, looked horrified. To be able to save someone from Lilith's butcher knife like that, it wasn't just a matter of courage. In terms of speed, he was definitely much stronger than Lilith. Although Lilith's age couldn't be compared to the previous generations of Blood Breeds, she could be ranked in the top ten among the Blood Breeds because of her noble bloodline and the Holy Weapon!
Yang Cheng wasn't in a hurry to answer Flower Rain's question. He suddenly felt that the cigarette in his mouth had been extinguished.
It turned out that he was moving too fast just now. The sudden cold air caused the cigarette to freeze and extinguish. Yang Cheng spat out the half-smoked cigarette helplessly.
"Do you think I'm willing to be here?" Yang Cheng said unhappily, "You people of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade are really busy. The Vatican and the Dark Parliament are fighting over the Holy Grail. That's their 'internal affairs'. They have been fighting for more than ten centuries. Why are you interfering? Do you think they will harm the civilians of Hua Xia? The Blood Breed has a 'seclusion' rule. The armed forces of the Vatican are also hidden underground forces. What benefits do you guys get by doing this other than asking for trouble? "
Flower Rain was at a loss. "This is an order from the higher-ups. Moreover … isn't the Dark Parliament the evil party?"
"It seems like you guys don't understand the Blood Breed at all. I'll tell you after this is over." Yang Cheng sighed and said, "Originally, I wanted to watch you guys fight at the side. But you're going to die soon. I thought about it and decided to come and save you."
Flower Rain was stunned. He appeared because of me? She felt a little strange, but she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why? Because of me?"
"Think about it. You and Choi Yeon are sisters. Choi Yeon and my wife are also good sisters. My wife calls you sister. You helped me out during the bank robbery. We've crossed paths a few times in the past. I don't know many people in the country, so I can't say that I'm close to you. If you die, although it has nothing to do with me, when I think about how some people will feel sad for you, I'll have to play a part in 'watching you die'. "
As Yang Chen spoke, he took out another cigarette from his pocket and lit it for himself. In the dark night, the white smoke was particularly eye-catching. After leisurely inhaling, he continued, "Your luck isn't bad. If it was a few years ago, I definitely wouldn't have helped you. But now that I'm married, I'm living like a human. No matter what, I have to do something a human should do."
Flower Rain, who was discouraged by this ridiculous reason, didn't ask anymore. She couldn't help but regret her initial expectation. What was she thinking? Wasn't he such a strange person?!
However, at this moment, the appearance of Yang Cheng made everyone present have different thoughts.
The battle had reached its climax. The Vatican only had Gabriel, Thomas, Arthur, and seven or eight Holy Knights left. The members of Second Dragon Group from Everlasting Night were also injured.
Lilith, Archimonde, and the other four elders of the Dark Parliament were left with only four Blood Slaves.
But because Lilith and the Butcher's Knife's perfect coordination was too powerful, no one knew the true outcome of the battle. However, because the Holy Grail was still in the hands of the Blood Race, the Vatican definitely wouldn't let it go.
As such, the appearance of Yang Cheng, who could intimidate everyone, would mean the end of this battle no matter which side they sided with.
"Mister, although I'm very curious about who you are, right now I just want to know which side you're on." Lilith could sense Yang Chen's strength the most. At this moment, she put away her water-like butcher knife and asked cautiously.
Although Everlasting Night hated Yang Cheng, he knew that he had to pull Yang Cheng to his side in order to survive. Thus, he immediately said, "Do you still need to ask?! Didn't you see that he saved our people just now? Naturally, he's on our side. If you know what's good for you, hand over the Holy Grail and get out of Hua Xia! "
Yang Cheng glared at Everlasting Night coldly. "Which f * cking ear of yours heard that I'm on your side? If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll be the first to kill you. Do you think your life is worth saving? "
His merciless words directly shoved Everlasting Night's arrogance back into his stomach. Everlasting Night's face alternated between green and red, but he didn't dare to say a word. He was afraid that Yang Cheng would really ignore them and even attack him.
He had experienced Yang Cheng's terrifying pressure and witnessed his terrifying speed just now. How would he dare to go against him?
At this moment, Gabriel's heavy armor was also scratched, but his overall strength was strong and he wasn't injured. He frowned and asked Yang Cheng, "Your strength is far above mine. Could it be that you're also after the Holy Grail?"
"I'm not even sure if your Holy Grail is real or fake. Why would I be interested in it? Moreover, the word 'eternal life' doesn't mean much to me. "Yang Cheng laughed mockingly.
"Then what do you want to do?" Archimonde asked nervously.
Yang Cheng thought for a while and said, "I just want to live here peacefully. So, you guys can't kill too many people from the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade all at once. Of course, if they insist on killing you, I can help you block them. I personally don't have any feelings for the Vatican and the Dark Parliament. To me, you guys aren't good or evil. So, I advise all of you to disperse and pretend that nothing happened tonight. "
"So many honorable knights have died, how can we just let it go so easily …" Gabriel said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, Gabriel, I think it's not that you're unwilling to let it go after people have died. It's because the Holy Grail is in our hands that you guys can't eat and sleep in peace," Mobses said ferociously.
Lilith smiled and said, "I wonder what your name is. It seems that even if we're willing to leave Hua Xia, the other party won't be willing. Do you have any wise ideas? "
Yang Cheng smacked his lips and said, "Since you guys want to fight to the death for the Holy Grail, how about this? Give me the Holy Grail and I'll destroy it on the spot. That way, there won't be anything left to fight for."
"No!"
Gabriel, Archimonde and the rest shouted at the same time.
Yang Cheng's face turned ugly. "You guys can't do this and you guys aren't willing to do that. Do you guys think I'm here to ask for your opinions? Don't provoke me. I'll do it myself and it won't benefit any of you. "
"Your Excellency, don't go too far. Although your strength is outstanding, I don't think we'll be trampled on by others," Archimonde said solemnly.
Yang Cheng didn't have the patience to continue. If he delayed any longer, Lin Ruoxi would probably go home first and he would have to walk to get a cab home. Wouldn't it be too troublesome to do that in the middle of the night?
"Since you guys aren't willing to compromise, I'll search your bodies one by one to see who has the item. If you guys aren't willing to give it to me, I'll take it myself."
As soon as Yang Cheng finished his sentence, his figure disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already by Charlie's side.
Charlie was horrified. Before he could retreat, he felt Yang Cheng's hand grabbing onto his arm!
A bone-chilling murderous aura and an overbearing sense of oppression made Charlie's soul, which had experienced a long time, palpitate. He actually forgot to resist!
Yang Cheng quickly searched his body and confirmed that the item wasn't on him. Then, he threw Charlie away and pounced on his next target, Mobses!
Everyone present watched in disbelief as Yang Cheng toyed with the Elder Charlie like a toy. At this moment, they realized that what Yang Cheng said about "taking it himself" was true!
But just when everyone was feeling helpless and glad that Yang Cheng didn't kill him, Yang Cheng's figure suddenly froze on the spot!
"How could this be …"
Yang Cheng's face suddenly sank as if he had seen an unbelievable scene. He stared at Mobses who was only three feet away from him.
At the same time, under everyone's puzzled gaze, Mobses actually disappeared into thin air!
"Mobses!!!" Archimonde and the rest shouted. Obviously, they didn't understand the situation, but their hearts were burning with anxiety.
Before everyone's shouts ended, a small dark golden wine glass actually floated in mid-air at the place where Mobses originally disappeared!
In this incomparably strange scene, Mobses never appeared again. The wine glass, on the other hand, fell alone, rolled on the grass, and coincidentally landed on Yang Cheng's heel …
