Last Wish: Torment Tang San, Kill Tang Hao!
8: Tang Hao Appears and Strikes!
Last Wish: Torment Tang San, Kill Tang Hao!
[Second Girl’s suicide completely enraged the leader of the Mountain Bandits.
In his fury, he nearly slaughtered the entire village.] “Bitch!” The One-eyed Brute was furious and kicked the table over.
“Kill them for me!
Slaughter…
this damn village!” Screams, cries, and the crackling of burning flames.
[In the end, Er Gouzi’s entire family was killed.] Aunt Li lay in a pool of blood.
Er Gouzi’s corpse hung from the yard’s fence, his eyes wide in death.
“…” In reality, Lin Qing fell silent.
He stared intently at the light-and-shadow screen, at Second Girl’s figure lying in a pool of blood, his expression exceptionally grim.
“Mountain Bandits…” He squeezed those words through his teeth, his voice chillingly cold.
Killing intent surged from the deepest depths of his heart.
Although he couldn’t confirm if this was a virtual Second Girl or one from a parallel World, she certainly wasn’t his Second Girl.
Yet, he still felt extremely unpleasant watching this.
No matter what, Second Girl was his savior.
The Lin Qing in the last words was also filled with rage; the warmth in his eyes gradually faded.
[I asked the villagers about the Mountain Bandits’ lair, intending to avenge Second Girl and the others.
After Xiao Wu heard about what happened here, she also planned to join me.] “I’m going too!” Xiao Wu blocked Lin Qing’s path, her eyes red.
“Those beasts, we absolutely cannot let them get away!” [Tang San tried to dissuade Xiao Wu.] “Xiao Wu, we can report this kind of thing to the Spirit Hall or the city guards.” “Shut up!” Xiao Wu suddenly glared at Tang San.
“If you’re scared, then don’t come along!” [However, he was glared back into silence by Xiao Wu just like that.] Tang San opened his mouth but could only follow along helplessly in the end.
[Under the cover of night, the three of us found the Mountain Bandits’ lair.] Black Wind Cave.
Torches illuminated the cave entrance, where two Mountain Bandit lackeys were leaning against the stone wall, dozing off.
[Xiao Wu helped me hold off the lackeys.] “Hey!” Xiao Wu’s figure flashed, and she delivered a kick!
Before the two lackeys could react, they were sent flying, crashing against the stone wall and passing out.
[Seeing Xiao Wu take action, Tang San reluctantly joined in to help.
He wasn’t interested in Lin Qing’s affairs, only in Xiao Wu’s.] Tang San sighed and flipped his wrist.
Several flashes of cold light flickered, and several Mountain Bandits rushing from a distance fell to the ground.
A Sleeve Arrow was embedded in each of their throats.
[I walked into the depths of the cave alone, found the leader of the Mountain Bandits, and fought him by myself!] [Using the trickery of my mental-type Spirit and the illusionary power of my thousand-year second spirit ring, I easily killed the Bandit Leader, avenging Second Girl and the villagers.
From the leader’s treasure, I found the strange metal the villagers had described.] Lin Qing seeing this, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
“At least…
revenge has been taken.” His parallel World self had obtained justice for Second Girl.
This allowed the killing intent in his heart to subside slightly.
But, just as he thought the last words were about to end.
The scene suddenly changed.
[Tang San and Xiao Wu were shocked that my second spirit ring was a thousand-year spirit ring.] At the cave entrance, Tang San and Xiao Wu stared blankly at the purple spirit ring beneath Lin Qing’s feet.
“A thousand-year second spirit ring?” Tang San murmured to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.
[Unexpectedly, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky without warning!] “Boom!” The entire cave trembled, and rubble fell pattering down.
[A black-robed figure suddenly descended before me.
A black cloak hid his face, but that aura…
cold, vast, and unfathomable.] [The pressure weighed down on me, making it hard to breathe.] Lin Qing groaned, his knees buckling as he nearly knelt.
He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stand upright.
A trace of blood had already seeped from the corner of his mouth.
[The black-robed man questioned me on how I absorbed a thousand-year second spirit ring.] The black-robed man spoke slowly.
His voice was raspy and low, as if containing endless indifference.
“Speak.” A single word made the air heavy and suffocating.
[In just an instant, I understood exactly who this person was; it was the owner of the cold gaze I had felt for many days and nights—Tang Hao!] The youth looked up, staring intently at the black-robed figure.
A flash of realization crossed his eyes, followed by despair.
In reality, Lin Qing’s heart suddenly sank.
“Damn it, the worst-case scenario has happened after all.” [Seeing me treated this way, Xiao Wu immediately launched an attack against Tang Hao, but she was easily subdued by him.] The black-robed man didn’t even move.
He merely waved his hand lightly.
An invisible force confined Xiao Wu to the spot, making her unable to move.
[At the same time, a powerful killing intent toward me surged from Tang Hao, an intent that almost materialized, bone-chilling and suffocating.] [At this moment, I looked at Tang San nearby, only to find that his gaze as he stared at Tang Hao was complex, without the slightest intention of speaking up to stop him or help.] [In that moment, I understood.
Tang San had also recognized Tang Hao, and he didn’t plan to do anything.] The youth Lin Qing smiled miserably.
More and more blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
[Whether it was the secret of the thousand-year second spirit ring or my friendship with Xiao Wu, Tang Hao probably wouldn’t let me go this time.] [So…
I stopped pretending.] “Hahaha!” The youth Lin Qing suddenly laughed, a frantic laugh.
He swayed as he forced himself upright against that terrifying pressure.
Blood was flowing from his nose and mouth, but he didn’t care.
[Standing up against the pressure, bleeding from my nose and mouth, I pointed at the black-robed Tang Hao and shouted frantically.] “Xiao Wu!!” “He is Tang San’s father!
He’s a Titled Douluo!!!” He used all his strength to roar those words.
“…” A deathly silence.
Xiao Wu was stunned.
Tang San was also stunned.
[After I said those words, Tang Hao’s pressure suddenly intensified!] “Boom!!!” The entire cave completely collapsed!
[With a bang, my body exploded, flesh and blood flying everywhere.] [Regrettably, I died.] The light-and-shadow screen came to a sudden halt, plunging into darkness.
In reality, Lin Qing sat blankly in the dilapidated wooden hut, staring at the empty air before him.
After a long time.
He slowly lowered his head to look at his hands.
Then he looked up at the black urn on the table.
On the surface of the urn, the portrait of his twelve-year-old “self” seemed to be quietly watching him.
“Tang Hao…” Lin Qing murmured the name.
Then, he laughed, a very cold laugh.
“What a Clear Sky Douluo indeed.” He stood up and walked to the window.
He pushed the window open.
The evening breeze blew in, carrying the scent of earth and grass.
In the distance, cooking smoke curled up from Emperor Soul Village.
In the courtyard of Second Girl’s home, the busy figure of the young girl could be faintly seen.
“Buddy.” Lin Qing spoke softly to the air, as if speaking to the deceased parallel Lin Qing, or perhaps to himself.
“I’ve noted down your grudge.” He turned around and looked back at the urn.
[Ding!
Listening to the last words has ended!] [Receiving Lin Qing’s relics…] The lid of the urn popped open automatically.
There were no ashes inside.
Only two items.
The first: a palm-sized piece of strange metal.
The second: a purple phantom of a spirit ring, seemingly condensed from light.
