"You …"
He turned around and glared at Lin Ray. Facing Lin Ray, he felt an indescribable killing intent. If not for the fact that he was no match for Lin Ray, he would have already attacked him.
"Tsk tsk!"
Looking at those resentful eyes, Lin Ray smacked his lips. He wanted to laugh and said, "Little guy, before you try to kill me, please take a look at the corpses around you. Otherwise … I'm afraid that you'll regret it!"
As he spoke, Fan Jun pointed at the corpses on the ground. The scene of blood made one's jaw drop.
"Hmm?"
When he saw Li Zhiping just now, he only wanted to laugh and walk over. Now that Lin Ray reminded him, he saw a scarlet color from the corner of his eyes. The pungent smell of blood rushed into his nose and mouth.
He turned around and looked at the scarlet corpses in the distance. However, the moment he saw the corpses, Fan Jun was stunned. His face turned pale and his parents were sweating profusely.
His eyes widened as he looked at those familiar figures lying on the ground in disbelief. His mind buzzed and tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.
"How … How is this possible?"
"They … How could they …"
"You killed them!" Lin Ray opened his mouth. His voice was filled with coldness. When he said those words, a cold smile appeared on his face. His appearance made one's heart turn cold.
"No … Impossible … How could I … How could I attack my brother? You … You're lying to me. It's impossible …" He opened his mouth and roared. However, halfway through his rebuttal, the scene of him slaughtering everyone flashed in his mind. Suddenly, a bad premonition appeared in his heart.
The more he thought about it, the weaker his body became. He staggered backward with a face full of disbelief. It was impossible.
Linley, who had been watching all this time, revealed a smile on his face. Wasn't this the result he wanted to see?
Thinking about it, Linley tossed a torch onto the already burning gasoline. Instantly, the fire grew larger and larger, and there was no way to stop it.
"Little doll, you don't say. Your performance just now really made me sigh with emotion. We were once comrades, once brothers. I didn't expect you to kill them in such an illusion. Not bad, young man. You have a bright future."
As he spoke, Lin Ray couldn't help but clap and cheer, as if this was something worthy of praise and pride.
"You …"
Fan Jun understood that all of this was done by the young man in front of him. Otherwise, he would not have done such a thing.
"Plop!" I fell on my butt with a loud thud as tears streamed down my face. I cried so hard that the world turned dark. I cried so hard that it pierced through my heart.
"No … impossible, how could I kill my brother? It can't be me, there must be a mistake somewhere. Yes, it must be, it must be you lying to me!" Pointing at Lin Ray, Fan Jun roared.
He did not believe that the people who used to drink and chat merrily with him in the past would all be lying on the ground with their faces pale and their eyes wide open. They died with remaining grievances.
From afar, Li Zhiping who was watching this scene let out a long sigh. As a bystander, he understood what Lin Ray meant.
What he did was to destroy the heart. Now, even if Lin Ray didn't kill him, Fan Jun would probably never hold a blade in his hand and enter the battlefield again.
With this experience, Fan Jun would probably live in a nightmare for the rest of his life. He would be haunted by this bloody scene forever.
"You will only be like this for the rest of your life. This is the price you have to pay for trying to deal with me."
"Young master, could it be that you want to keep this person alive?" Hearing Lin Ray's words, Ouyang Ting questioned.
Previously, she said that she wanted to prove herself. Originally, she wanted to fight again to make up for her previous mistakes. But now, from Lin Ray's words, she could tell that Lin Ray was planning to let go of this person.
"What do you want?" Looking at Ouyang Ting, Lin Ray's interest was piqued by Ouyang Ting's words.
Ouyang Ting couldn't hide anything from him. She directly said, "Of course, I want to kill him."
"It's this subordinate's fault for not making a move before."
"This time, young master, please rest assured. This subordinate will definitely kill him." Her words were clear and her eyes were filled with determination.
"Xiao Hua … has changed!"
Li Yunzhu looked at Ouyang Ting and came to this conclusion. Indeed, Ouyang Ting had changed. She had become bloodthirsty and determined. She had changed to the point where they could no longer recognize her.
In Lin Ray's opinion, all these changes were very good. "Xiao Ting, you don't have to worry about this matter."
As he spoke, he pointed at Fan Jun, who had sunk into madness, and sneered, "Do you think that the current him is better than being dead?"
"His heart is now filled with pride, pain, regret and unwillingness. And I want him to live in this pain for the rest of his life."
"Of course, perhaps one day, he will wake up. But by then, he won't live for long. Because when he had the thought of going against me, his life no longer belongs to him."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Ouyang Ting and continued, "So, remember this. If you want someone to suffer, you don't necessarily have to kill him. Sometimes, this kind of pain is far more torturous than death."
Hearing this, Ouyang Ting's heart trembled. Her understanding of Lin Ray deepened.
She didn't say anything and nodded heavily. She remembered all these things in her heart.
"Alright, this matter is over. As for him, let him live. Let him live in repentance!"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Li Zhiping and the others. A smile flashed across his face. "We will meet again. I hope that when that time comes, you … will still have the same attitude!"
With that, he turned around and left this bloody place with Ouyang Ting without looking at Li Zhiping and the others.
After Linley left, Li Zhiping made three confirmations. Finally, his body relaxed, and his tense expression collapsed.
"Finally, he's gone!"
He was fearful of Lin Ray's strength. He swore that he never wanted to see him again.
However, what made him even more terrified was the three officials he had killed, as well as the Minister of Revenue and the other officials he had killed.
If what he said was true, the court would be in turmoil. When that time came, he would not be able to escape.
Thinking about it, he felt that time was running out. He locked his gaze on his daughter and his heart tightened. His eyes were filled with determination.
…
At this moment, in the Hongtian Emperor's palace, the lights were brightly lit. There was a cacophony of noises.
In the Heavenly Palace, Hong Zhi sat on the guard, anxiously looking at the civil and military officials below. His face was as gloomy as water. At this time, he should have been playing around with his beloved concubines and making children. Yet, he had appeared here.
"Tell me, more than ten officials were killed in a day, including the Three Ministers and Nine Ministers. Tell me, how should we deal with this matter?"
