Lü Shu was stunned for a moment. Just like how those warriors who had slain dragons in order to save the princess would eventually become huge dragons, those who stared into the abyss would eventually become the abyss as well. Duanmu Huangqi's words were not without reason. Perhaps when the Old Divine King had re-entered the cycle of reincarnation, he had not expected that he would once again walk the right path in this life, and that his hands would once again be stained with blood.
"He won't," someone said firmly at this moment.
Lü Shu turned to look at Lü Xiaoyu, who was beside him. He had not expected that Lü Xiaoyu would suddenly speak up at this moment. Furthermore, he did not know why Lü Xiaoyu was so confident.
Lü Xiaoyu looked at Duanmu Huangqi and said coldly, "Even if he falls into the abyss, I will personally pull him out!"
Lü Shu turned to look at Duanmu Huangqi and smiled, "Did you hear that?"
Duanmu Huangqi sank into deep thought. "This is probably something that no one would have expected. What surprised me is that none of you have died today. You are indeed different from him. Perhaps you think that I'm afraid of the Mountain Quaking Armor, but I just don't want to break them. The Mountain Quaking Armor has each of their names engraved on their chests. "
Lü Shu did not understand what Duanmu Huangqi meant. However, in the next moment, Duanmu Huangqi suddenly made his move. With a single step, he appeared before Lü Shu and brazenly pressed his palm down on Lü Shu's chest.
As his robes shook, Duanmu Huangqi was like an enraged lion, a lion who was at the end of the road but was still willing to fight to the death!
However, the moment he stepped into the void, the Sparrow Shadow Gray Lines had already started weaving in front of Lü Shu. Lü Shu had never once let down his guard. No matter how great the advantage he had, he did not want to give his opponent any chance.
Martial grandmasters attacked in the blink of an eye. The only true martial grandmasters present were Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu. Furthermore, Lü Shu had not thought of letting anyone else attack.
In the next moment, two black hidden blades appeared in Duanmu Huangqi's hands. As his sleeves fluttered, Mituryū Kanao and the others felt as if the earth and mountains were shaking, as if the entire world had been turned upside down.
Zhang Weiyu's expression changed. This was Duanmu Huangqi's killer move, Black and White Reversal. It could instantly turn day into night, and it could also turn the sky into the ground in the enemy's consciousness!
However, at this moment, the ball of white flame in Lv Shu's heart sensed the approaching danger and actually attacked Duanmu Huangqi on its own! Now that the white flame had been revived due to the return of Defiler, it was even more active and violent than before!
Lü Shu was stunned to find that when the ball of flames appeared, Duanmu Huangqi suddenly stopped. There seemed to be a smile on his face as he calmly waited for the white flames to reach his body.
Why? What was Duanmu Huangqi trying to do?
Before he could figure it out, the white flames had already flown into the space between Duanmu Huangqi's eyebrows. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huangqi was smiling as he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground, as if he had entered a dream.
The other party's calm and unruffled appearance made it seem as if he had been waiting for this dream all along.
Lü Shu was stunned. At this moment, the other party was actually asking for … a Heart Tribulation.
Duanmu Huangqi wanted to return to his Heart Tribulation dream. Was it because his missing brothers were also in that dream?
Heart Tribulation was very dangerous. Back then, Lü Shu felt that if he did not pass the Heart Tribulation, he would probably be in a deep sleep for the rest of his life. However, Duanmu Huangqi was not afraid. He knew that he was at the end of his rope.
Time passed very slowly. Lü Shu did not directly kill Duanmu Huangqi.
Duanmu Huangqi's expression alternated between happiness, sadness, anger, and despair. Lü Shu knew that Duanmu Huangqi must have experienced a new life in this dream, just like him.
Lü Shu really wanted to know what happened in this Heart Tribulation dream. He also wanted to know why Duanmu Huangqi insisted on having such a big dream. However, he had no way of finding out.
After a full 20 minutes, Duanmu Huangqi sat peacefully on the ground. He opened his eyes, and two streams of bloody tears slowly flowed down his cheeks. Duanmu Huangqi seemed to be looking at Lü Shu, but it also seemed like he was looking through Lü Shu into the distance. He laughed hollowly and said, "How I wish I could go back three thousand years. My blood is not cold. Brothers, I'm coming."
After saying that, Duanmu Huangqi's breath stopped. He did not make it through this Heart Tribulation.
The ambitious and ruthless Duanmu Huangqi did not die a spectacular death, nor did he turn this world upside down. He did not attack to kill, but to have a dream.
This way of dying was too strange. It even made Lü Shu feel like he had punched empty air, but he could not say anything.
The other party had been immersed in power and desire for thousands of years, but in the end, he was in the most clear-headed state in a dream.
Lv Shu couldn't help but reflect on this. When is a person truly awake? In reality or in dreams, which is the real him?
Lü Shu asked Zhang Weiyu to take off his armor. Sure enough, everyone saw Xiaoxiao's name on the chest of the Mountain Quaking Armor. The name was crooked, and Lü Shu could even imagine that the person who wrote it was probably uncultured. He was so nervous that his palms were sweaty when he wrote it.
After he finished carving his name, he looked up and saw his brothers sitting on the ground clumsily like him. Everyone laughed and mocked each other. It was as if even their smiles were carved on the armor.
They fought together, drank together, and waited for time to turn everything into sand.
From then on, Duanmu Huangqi changed.
"Bury him beside the ninety-nine people." Lü Shu sighed. "Let him have his wish."
"Understood." Zhang Weiyu cupped his hands.
At this moment, Sun Xiuwen carried the head of the other Western Capital Grandmaster to Lü Shu's side. "Fortunately, I did not disappoint you."
Lü Shu looked at Sun Xiuwen and said, "I hope you will not become the next Duanmu Huangqi."
Sun Xiuwen was stunned. He thought that Lü Shu was warning him to be sincere, so he immediately knelt down. "Your subject will never do that disloyal —"
Lü Shu pulled Sun Xiuwen up and interrupted him. "Just be happy."
With that, Lü Shu walked out. Mituryū Kanao followed behind Lü Shu, leaving Sun Xiuwen standing there alone with a blank look on his face. He was now the most clear-headed person in the royal capital, but for a moment, he did not understand what Lü Shu was saying.
As long as he was happy, that was all? In the eyes of this new king, was happiness more important than loyalty?
Lü Shu stood at the entrance of the Western Capital Palace and said to Zhang Weiyu, Lü Xiaoyu, Carol, and the others, "I will go first. Your army will advance at full speed after me. There are still a few debts that have not been settled. Time is tight, and the mission is heavy, so you will have to work hard."
No one objected to this. Mituryū Kanao's next stop was the royal capital, and it would take about half a month to get there from the Western Capital. Even if they traveled at full speed, they would not be able to travel any faster.
At this time, Lü Shu could reach there in a single step, so he naturally had to go first.
No one was worried about Lü Shu, because Lü Shu really did not need anyone to worry about his safety at this time. What they needed to worry about were his enemies.
