"I'm sorry."
Ge Ya spoke softly and swung her arm, decapitating the werewolf. The king of the werewolves didn't even die, so how could she be killed by the person she protected with her life?
"Mas … ter …"
The guards at the side were astonished. They couldn't believe everything that happened before their eyes.
While the guards were hesitating, Chen Feng and Ge Ya joined forces. In just a few minutes, the guards collapsed to the ground one after another, lifeless.
Fresh blood permeated the surrounding land.
Even though this was a common occurrence in the apocalypse, it still left a strong impact.
"See you the day after tomorrow." After everything was settled, Chen Feng transformed back into a human and strolled into the distance.
"See you the day after tomorrow." Ge Ya stood among the countless corpses and gazed at Chen Feng's receding figure. Her face was expressionless, but a glint flashed in her eyes. No one could tell what she was thinking.
…
"Didn't you say that it's best if we don't meet for the time being?" Xu Hongzhuang asked Chen Feng in a black robe.
Shortly after Chen Feng separated from Ge Ya, he used a special method to contact Xu Hongzhuang.
"How's this place?" Chen Feng didn't answer directly, but asked in an inquiring tone instead.
"Death, horror, evil. Any words that can describe negative emotions can be used in this world. It's hard to imagine that there are still many living beings living here."
"It's just that …" Xu Hongzhuang suddenly looked somewhat lonely.
"It's just that what?"
"It's just that the living beings here are no different from the dead. There's no mercy and they maintain a blasphemous emotion toward life all the time. They can't be considered living beings anymore, but a bunch of walking corpses instead." Xu Hongzhuang said angrily. It was apparent that she had seen or encountered some unimaginable things during their separation.
Chen Feng gazed deeply at Xu Hongzhuang. He had to admit that among his subordinates, perhaps Xu Hongzhuang was the only one who didn't forget her original intentions.
Wei Xun had completely lost himself in the journey of darkness and the pursuit of power. Of course, this was also a method for him to become stronger. If he didn't lose himself, perhaps he wouldn't have reached his current position.
Meanwhile, Lu Wei was also gradually drifting away from his original self under protection. At that moment, his soul was stained with a layer of corrosive energy.
Out of all of them, only Xu Hongzhuang's heart was still as pure as ever. Although she was no longer kind and didn't treat problems with her previous personality, she had also become much more ruthless. However, this ruthlessness wasn't towards her own kind, but towards her enemies who were trying to conquer Order.
Just like now, when she came here, she instinctively felt a strong sense of disgust. This was a rare thing. She couldn't even bear to see these dark and cruel things.
This was Xu Hongzhuang.
A person who didn't forget her original intentions, a pure person.
If she was given a choice, Xu Hongzhuang would undoubtedly join the side of kindness.
Similar to Wei Xun's way of constantly becoming stronger and darker, for Xu Hongzhuang, kindness was her motivation to reach where she was now. If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted to protect more people, she wouldn't be as strong as she was today.
"There are countless levels here, and everywhere is filled with slaughter and blood. But I want to tell you that there will soon be a short period of peace here."
"What do you mean?" Xu Hongzhuang obviously didn't understand what Chen Feng was trying to say.
"I accidentally discovered a secret. Some demons are actually plotting to take over this level. Just the day after tomorrow, when countless demon powerhouses arrive, they plan to massacre the Colosseum and kill all the powerhouses in one fell swoop. Then, they will occupy this place and become its master."
"And I … reached some kind of agreement with the other party. After it's done, I'll get 70% of the land here."
Chen Feng narrated his plan with Ge Ya in a casual manner, as if he was telling a story.
But Xu Hongzhuang's pupils dilated when she heard all this. If it was just an ordinary agreement, how could he get 70% of the land here?!
This was not a small place like the City of Silver. Xu Hongzhuang even knew that the number of existences who could defeat and even kill her in the Colosseum that day was in the double digits.
However, in a place like this where experts were as numerous as the clouds, Chen Feng had been able to effortlessly split half of it or even more of it. How had he done that? When Xu Hongzhuang heard it, she even felt that it was a fantasy!
But Xu Hongzhuang believed one thing, and that was that Chen Feng wouldn't lie to her.
Xu Hongzhuang was a smart person. She naturally knew that Chen Feng had called her out today to talk to her about something. Moreover, this matter was related to the ownership of this level.
Thinking of this, Xu Hongzhuang's eyes slowly narrowed, and then she said, "You called me out today, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Chen Feng nodded. "I want to tell you that the day after tomorrow is the moment the competition begins. Perhaps a disaster will befall this land. At that time, not to mention Legends, even Epic powerhouses might die on the spot. At that time …"
"I'll stay!" Xu Hongzhuang said with wide eyes.
"Have you thought it through?" Chen Feng looked at her, speechless.
Xu Hongzhuang nodded and said with an unusually determined expression, "I want to stay!"
At this point, Xu Hongzhuang said with a solemn expression, "My purpose here is to complete my advancement. I admit that after seeing so many experts and monsters, I'm scared. I thought I could keep calm at any time, but after seeing how powerful those monsters are, I'm really scared."
"I even foresee the moment of my death, but at the moment of my greatest fear, I suddenly understood a principle." Xu Hongzhuang's eyes reflected rays of light.
"What principle?"
"When I decided to come here, I was already prepared to die. I won't run away. This is the action of a coward. I want to advance, I want to break through to the same level as you. Only then can I protect more people I want to protect and save more pitiful people living in the abyss of suffering!"
Xu Hongzhuang took a step forward, less than half a meter away from Chen Feng. She opened her eyes wide and said with an unusually serious expression, "I don't want to let those monsters run rampant anymore. I also don't want to see another tragedy happen to me. I want to help more people survive, so I need to take a step forward."
"Even if it means death? You should know the importance of this matter. When the time comes, countless powerhouses will die. You might complete your advancement, but you might also die. At that time, all of your dreams and future will come to an end. "
Xu Hongzhuang smiled bitterly. "Of course I know. After living in the apocalypse for so long and witnessing the deaths of countless people, how can I not know the fragility of life?"
"Do you still remember Li Lan under my command? Her whole family was killed by zombies because of her baby fat. It was because of this that she was stimulated and completed her awakening and became a professional. She was depressed for a long time. It was me who introduced her to a young man of the same age and the same values. Then … they fell in love. "
Xu Hongzhuang fell into some kind of reminiscence. "I watched them fall in love and heard them say that they wanted me to be the witness when they got married. However, a sudden dimensional invasion ruined everything. When I rushed over, most of them had been devoured, leaving only a small part of their bodies."
Xu Hongzhuang shook her head. "I don't want this kind of thing to happen in [Order] again. I've been thinking about it for countless nights. If I was stronger at that time, would I be able to stop all this from happening? But … there's no if. "
"So!"
Xu Hongzhuang's expression began to become serious. "So let me go. I want to become stronger and protect the weak. For this, even if I lose my life, I won't hesitate!"
