Chapter 1107

"Your brother, what's there to worry about? Are you worried that he'll be too sad?" Mo Fan said.

Zhao Manting shook his head, "Forget it, we've just come first. I shouldn't be talking about something so sad with you."

"It doesn't matter. Even if it's a mixture of feeling sad and happy, it doesn't matter how you feel," Mo Fan said.

"I'll take a walk around on my own. I'll tell you the details after I've made up my mind." Zhao Manting obviously had something else he wanted to say. As a matter of fact, he had no idea if it was the right thing to say.

"Alright, I'll stay in the house, or at most Mu Ningxue's house. You can come and find me when the time comes," Mo Fan did not insist.

After leaving the place, Mo Fan turned around and saw Zhao Manting slowly walking along the seawall. It seemed like the man was troubled by the incident.

Luckily, he was already mentally prepared for it.

When someone close to him was about to die, being mentally prepared for it and suddenly happening were two completely different concepts. As time went by, people would slowly accept the fact that their lives had come to an end. The unwillingness to part with them would slowly turn into respect for the person who had left. Zhao Manting did not have any regrets. After all, he had done such a shocking feat before his father passed away. He did not feel guilty, and he could let the old man leave in peace.

As for the nightmare that came out of nowhere, it was like a thunderclap to a person's head. Mo Fan had witnessed too many deaths during the Calamity of Bo City and the Calamity of the Ancient Capital. It was not like he could not feel the pain, which was why he had been cultivating so hard, just to ensure the safety of his loved ones. He did not have to leave in such a hurry in the midst of the chaos caused by the demon beasts.

However, there was no such thing as an endless life. One day, one would have to collect his thoughts and move on. If he stayed in the shadows and the rain for the rest of his life, he would be the one dying instead.

…

…

Zhao Manting was still struggling in front of the seawall. The sky had completely darkened. The lights of the islands in Venice were lit up in the distance, but some of the smaller islands were still in the darkness, as if they did not exist at all.

A couple was walking toward him. The man was in his thirties or forties, with a scar on his forehead and a dark face. He was hugging the woman beside him with a wide smile, as if he was very satisfied with the relationship, like a young man who had just fallen in love.

? The man was in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance. Zhao Manting would not even bother to look at him. The woman was wearing a shy smile. Her eyes were darting around as she sneaked a peek at Zhao Manting.

"Friend, can you take a picture for us?" the man asked and handed the camera to Zhao Manting.

"Sure." Normally, Zhao Manting would walk past the couple with an arrogant look. He was the only one showing off his love, not the other way around. However, he was in a bad mood today, so he decided to do a good deed to help his father, who was about to leave soon.

As Zhao Manting reached out his hand and was about to take the camera, the man's smile suddenly turned impure.

His eyes flickered with murderous intent. A long poisonous snake with eight claws crawled out from the man's sleeve and coiled around Zhao Manting's wrist, before biting him hard on his arm!

Zhao Manting did not feel any pain from the bite, but his blood felt like it had frozen, spreading rapidly from his arm to his entire body!

"You guys!" Zhao Manting was astounded. He quickly cast a defensive spell.

As the Sacred Shield Protection was about to be completed, Zhao Manting suddenly felt like he was in a trance, as if he was drunk the day before.

The last Star Orbit was broken. Zhao Manting did not have the time to set up his defense. The poison was invading his body too quickly. Not only did it paralyze his body, it also messed up his mind!

"Who are you!?" Zhao Manting immediately yelled. He was still able to speak.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Isn't it better to die without knowing why?" The ordinary-looking woman let out an eerie grin. She slowly drew out a long poisonous needle from her palm.

The poisonous needle was as long as a dagger. It was obviously a sinister piece of magic equipment, similar to Gong Yu's gauntlets. It was normally used by assassin-type Magicians. It might not be effective against demon beasts, but it was a deadly weapon against Magicians!

"Who sent you here!?" Zhao Manting was enraged. His eyes were almost spitting fire.

"Perhaps, you and your father can keep each other company in the afterlife!" the female assassin let out a hollow laugh. The poisonous needle was aimed at Zhao Manting's heart.

The poisonous needle easily penetrated Zhao Manting's skin and penetrated his muscles. It would soon reach his heart. At that instant, a golden light flickered. An inconspicuous necklace on Zhao Manting's neck was activated on its own. The strong golden light forced the two assassins to back away. The poisonous needle could no longer penetrate his heart.

"As expected of a rich young master, he even has an artifact that's stronger than the Ring of Venice. However, is there any point in struggling like this?" the female assassin continued to smile. She was not surprised at all.

The two assassins had outstanding cultivations, especially the man with the Poison Element that ambushed Zhao Manting. Even if Zhao Manting was not distracted, he would still be under the control of the assassin.

Zhao Manting had been a playboy for a long time. He had only been cultivating diligently in the past two years, just so he could answer to his father. He had never offended anyone important, thus there was no way he would provoke an assassin of this level to take his life …

The golden light was protecting Zhao Manting, but the defensive equipment could not last forever. It was impossible for anyone to come and save him in such a remote place.

Zhao Manting knew he did not have long to live, yet he was unwilling to accept it, nor could he believe it!

"Zhao Youqian, get your ass out here, it must be you, it must be you!" Zhao Manting yelled. Blue veins were popping out on his face due to the poison.

No one responded to his yell.

"Zhao Youqian! You have the guts to kill me, but you don't have the guts to see me one last time!? "Zhao Manting continued to yell.

He had a feeling that Zhao Youqian was nearby!

Sure enough, behind an old tree not far away, a man wrapped tightly from head to toe walked out from there.

The man even wrapped up his hair, revealing only his eyes. He was being extremely cautious, not allowing anyone to see his face.

The golden light would last for a while, but Zhao Manting was completely helpless. The two assassins had sent countless people to their deaths with the same method. A young Magician like Zhao Manting was like a child before them, unable to fight back at all.

"Then I'll send you on your way," said the man with his entire body wrapped in clothes coldly.

Zhao Manting felt a chill running down his spine when he saw the man. It felt like his heart was being stabbed by a poisonous needle.

It's really him!

It's really him!

Zhao Manting knew he had no chance of escaping, yet he was unwilling to believe it was him. He would rather believe that he had offended someone because of his recklessness …

After all, they were brothers. Zhao Manting did realize the same thing. He had wanted to tell Mo Fan about it not long ago. He realized that Zhao Youqian was a man who would do anything to achieve his goals, but due to the bond between them, Zhao Manting shook his head in the end and did not tell Mo Fan about his suspicions …

However, he did not tell Mo Fan about it because of the firm bond between them. Otherwise, Mo Fan would surely stay by his side to prevent him from being ambushed, and he would not end up like this!

He recalled how Mo Fan had risked his life to save him in Jinlin City, and how he had not hesitated to do the same for the few times they were in danger. He could not describe how he felt when he saw Zhao Youqian, who was only showing his eyes.

"Do you really have no humanity left?" Zhao Manting asked.

"Don't you think it's childish to say something like that to me? It's all because of my father, forcing me to make such a decision. I, Zhao Youqian, have been under his control since I was ten years old. I started to learn the languages of different countries, finance, how to talk to businessmen, and how to talk to greedy people. I've earned a lot of money for our family, and how much effort I've put in … but you, you've been living a carefree life ever since you were born. The old man didn't even want to scold you. He gave you lots of money to spend, and never asked you to take care of anything. He would pave the way for you to learn whatever you wanted to learn. I thought he was just spoiling you. He didn't care what you achieved, as long as you lived a comfortable life like a useless spoiled brat. I thought he was raising me as the heir of the clan, so he was strict and dissatisfied with me. He asked me to run errands, just so I could do better than him in the future … "

"And in the end!?"

"What happened in the end!?" Zhao Youqian suddenly burst out screaming.

Zhao Youqian's expression turned terrifyingly dark after he yelled out. His voice was filled with viciousness and resentment!

"In the end, because of this stupid World College Tournament, when I couldn't even come first in the tournament, he left a will for an idiot like you to inherit the Zhao Clan, and asked me, Zhao Youqian, to support you … HAHAHAHA, what a great father, what a great father! That was his plan from the beginning. He treated you as his own, and I was just a servant that he could order around at will. After he was done, he would leave me to you! "Zhao Youqian almost screamed at the top of his lungs.

He was not willing to accept it. So what if Zhao Manting came first in the national team? His contributions to the Zhao Clan were more than what he had done ten times. How ridiculous was it that his father thought Zhao Manting was the hope of the Zhao Clan, and that he had to follow his useless brother around like a dog …

"It's father's decision. Do you think I'm going to compete with you after he's gone? I'll focus on my magic, and you can take care of your family business. Why do you have to go this far? You can't wait to kill me just because father is still angry! "Zhao Manting took a deep breath when he saw the twisted expression on Zhao Youqian's face.

"It's because he's still angry … before he passes away, I'll tell him in person that I've killed his precious son. It's my revenge for treating me like a dog for so many years!" Zhao Youqian no longer cared about anything else.

"If that's the case, why did you send assassins after him so soon after he fell ill? You already found the assassins and waited for the day he fell ill, didn't you?" Zhao Manting said.

"You're right, how could I not have a trick up my sleeve when I have a father like him? Don't blame me, you know who's the one that did it! "

"I'll forgive you, you're my brother after all."

"I don't want to do it either."

"Take care of your mother," Zhao Manting said. It was meaningless to struggle. He did not see any hint of unwillingness in Zhao Youqian's eyes.

Zhao Youqian had really changed. He did not even know who he was anymore.

"I will, she won't suspect me. She trusts me," Zhao Youqian signaled the two assassins.

The light that protected his life gradually dissipated, just like Zhao Manting's heart.

He stood there. If there was any regret in his heart, it was that he could not let Mo Fan roam the world and pursue the path of magic as he wished.

He could only hope that Mo Fan would be able to pick up the girls he had not finished with …

Zhao Manting had no idea why he would have such a ridiculous and hilarious thought before he died. Perhaps he was able to face any situation with a smile after spending so much time with that guy.

"Do it!"

The two assassins' cultivation was utterly terrifying. They might even be Super Mages. Their auras were shocking. Even without the poison suppressing them, their strong murderous intent was enough to make anyone lose their will to fight back.

Zhao Manting closed his eyes. As death approached, he did not notice the wooden clapper hidden in his soul emitting a brilliant glow, as if it had just been awakened after being sealed for countless years!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two deafening roars that shook the sky and the city suddenly rose between the seawall and the sea around Venice. It was utterly terrifying in the pitch-black night!

In the sea where light and shadow intertwined, a black island suddenly rose from the surface of the sea. Huge waves surged up to the clouds and turned into tsunamis that covered the sky, pouncing in all directions!

"My Heavens, what's that?"

"That island … that island …"

Hundreds of thousands of people in Venice witnessed the tsunami surging in their direction. Countless Mages flew into the sky and raised the alarm. A purple light lit up the city!

An enormous shadow the size of a mountain loomed over the city, shrouding the moonlight and the stars. Venice was like a toy compared to the island that had suddenly risen into the sky. It would be destroyed with ease …

Mo Fan was facing the ocean in Venice. He stared at the body soaking in the ocean in astonishment. The astonishment in his heart was comparable to the first time he saw the Black Totem Snake!

"It's … it's … it's been following us!" Mo Fan suddenly recalled something in his astonishment.

An island …

It was disguised as an island …

It was the mysterious giant creature that had appeared in Japan, but he had never seen it before!

It had swum all the way to the Mediterranean Sea and stopped in Venice!
