729: Chapter 730: The Only One Who Can Kill Is Myself 729: Chapter 730: The Only One Who Can Kill Is Myself ?
Vivian, upon hearing these words, felt her heart once again surge with a thousand tumultuous waves.
Catherine had taken advantage of Hao Jian’s guilt to harm him, and it was all her fault.
?
“If killing would make you feel better, then go ahead, but don’t hurt Weiwei.
She’s still a child, and she’s your and Xueci’s daughter,” Hao Jian sighed.
?
“Pah!
What child, I have never considered her as my child.
From the mont Xueci betrayed , that bastard has been my enemy.
After I slaughter you, she’s next.
Only by killing all three of you can I fully release the hatred in my heart!” Catherine burst into a mad laughter like a lunatic.
?
“You’re insane!” Hao Jian bit his teeth hard, but in doing so, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
?
“Rest assured, God of Death, I’m not going to kill you now.
I will take you to the feet of the king so he can personally execute you!
This honor should belong to him!” Catherine laughed as she extended her hand to grab the iron chains, intending to take Hao Jian away.
?
But as she turned around, she saw Weiwei standing not far from her, her eyes blazing as she stared at Catherine.
?
Catherine was initially startled, and then her eyebrows raised, “Oh, you’re here?”
?
“Were the words he just said true?” Weiwei asked, a trace of coldness in her voice.
?
“What words?” Catherine asked, puzzled.
?
“Don’t play dumb!
You know what I an!” Weiwei roared thunderously.
?
“I’m not playing dumb, I’m just asking what you are referring to—whether it’s about killing your father or being your mother?
If it’s those two things, then I can tell you he was telling the truth!” Catherine’s face was expressionless, with a scornful smile on her face, her gaze not that of a mother’s.
?
“So, were all the kindness you showed before just an act?” Weiwei asked.
The only person she trusted in this world was Catherine.
She always felt a closeness to Catherine and trusted her without reservation.
But in the end, even though Catherine was her mother, she was just using her as a pawn.
?
“To seek revenge, I could only force myself to do so.
Otherwise, do you think I would’ve kept you alive till now?” Catherine chuckled.
?
“I understand now!” Weiwei nodded.
She finally understood why sotis Catherine looked at her warmly, and sotis her eyes were filled with coldness.
She initially thought it was just Catherine’s character, but now she saw it wasn’t.
Catherine hated her from the bottom of her heart and always thought of getting rid of her quickly; that look in her eyes said it all.
?
“What, do you plan to fight ?” Catherine seed to sense the change in Weiwei and laughed as well.
?
“You deceived , you made a fool of , and now, you should pay the price!” Weiwei held her blade in front of her and spoke coldly.
?
Because of her, Hao Jian ended up like this.
Weiwei felt very guilty, and now she had to pay for her actions!
?
All this ti, Weiwei had harbored fantasies about her mother, thinking she must be a kind and gentle woman.
But now, those illusions were shattered.
?
Her mother was a woman who hated her, a woman venomous as a viper!
?
It was this venomous woman, for the so-called status and glory, who killed her own father!
?
Weiwei was filled with hatred, hating Catherine’s heartlessness, hating Catherine’s despicableness!
?
“Just you?” Catherine laughed disdainfully and said, “Don’t forget who taught you all your skills.
You think you can kill ?
Do you think you can do it?”
?
“I have to try!” Weiwei roared, charging forward.
She knew she might not be a match for Catherine, but now she didn’t care, as she had already fallen apart.
What was left in this world for her to cling to?
?
Her mother was actually her father’s killer, and this was too much of a blow!
?
“So arrogant!” Catherine snorted coldly and sprang forward as well, and at the sa ti, a dagger flew out from the sleeve of her garnt.
?
“Clang!”
?
A tallic symphony sounded, and sparks flew dazzlingly in mid-air.
?
Catherine and Weiwei each landed in their own place.
Weiwei crouched slightly, sweat beads covering her forehead.
On her thigh, there was a terrifying gash.
?
Catherine had not held back with that slash.
?
Turning around, Catherine flicked the Blood Bead off her blade, then indifferently said, “Such a waste.
I’ve taught you so many tis, when facing an enemy you must protect your body and pay attention to their movents.
Compared to Xueci, your aptitude is a world apart.
You’re just a disgrace to him; you might as well die sooner.”
?
“Shut up, you have no right to speak his na!” Weiwei burst with rage, limping forward and once again rushed to attack with her blade.
?
But this attack was easily dodged by Catherine, who then kicked Weiwei, sending her flying once again.
?
Catherine clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, expressing her contempt, “I’m ashad to say you’re my student.
You’re so incompetent, it’s embarrassing to admit it out loud!”
?
“You!” Vivian glared at Catherine with intense anger and humiliation in her eyes, yet she felt the urge to laugh.
?
Mother?
This is my own mother, the one I dread of eting!
How absurd!
?
“I was thinking of just playing along with you, but I don’t want any complications, so, sorry!” Catherine declared, then leaped suddenly, landing in front of Vivian.
The dagger in her hand thrust straight toward Vivian’s face.
?
Vivian sighed, closed her eyes, and a look of relief spread across her face as she thought, finally, finally it was all over!
?
“Crack!”
?
However, a strange noise arose at this mont.
Vivian, who had closed her eyes, waited a while and, not feeling any stabbing pain, opened her eyes in confusion.
?
She then saw Hao Jian, holding Catherine’s dagger tightly in his hand.
His palm was cut, but he refused to let go.
?
And at the sa ti, Hao Jian was still spitting blood, but even so, he held on to Catherine’s dagger with all his might.
?
“Don’t touch my brother’s daughter!” Hao Jian roared, flipping over and sending a sweeping kick towards Catherine, sending her flying back.
?
Catherine shook her hands violently but couldn’t help laughing coldly in pain, “You really are the God of Death, to be so gravely injured and still be able to fight back, I truly underestimated you!”
?
“Cough cough…” Hao Jian coughed twice, and blood ca out with each cough.
?
Seeing this, Vivian was utterly dumbfounded.
She had poisoned the man to this state, yet he was risking his life to protect her?
?
With that thought, Vivian suddenly felt a deep sorrow, and the tears she had been holding back finally burst forth, “Hao Jian, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!”
“Go…” Hao Jian told Vivian.
?
“What?”
?
“I said get out of here!
I can’t hold her off for long!” Hao Jian yelled, his eyes burning into Vivian, “You must survive, you must!
Otherwise, I won’t rest in peace even in death!”
?
Xueci, I owe you a life, and now, by saving your daughter’s, we’re even!
?
“No, I won’t go!” But Vivian shook her head adamantly.
If she left now, wouldn’t Hao Jian die?
?
Hao Jian is the only person in this world who has ever truly cared for , how could I abandon him?
?
“You have to go!
You idiot!” Hao Jian roared furiously, infuriated by Vivian’s stubbornness.
?
“You knew the milk was filled with deadly poison and you still drank it, aren’t you the idiot?” Vivian mocked Hao Jian in return.
?
“You…” Hao Jian didn’t know what to say to Vivian and then let out a wry laugh, “You’re just as stubborn as your father!”
?
“Of course, she gave birth to , who else would I take after if not her!” Vivian retorted as a matter of course.
?
“Are you done with the nonsense?
If so, would you both kindly go to your deaths?” Catherine’s gaze was cold and sharp.
?
Hao Jian struggled to his feet, glared at Catherine, and then told Vivian, “If you don’t leave, we’ll both die here.
Don’t let my sacrifice be in vain!”
?
“If I leave now, you’ll truly die here.
It’s my fault you’re in this state; I should take responsibility,” Vivian replied as she stood up, steadfast and unwilling to leave.
?
“No, I should be responsible for you.
I’m the one who made you an orphan, I’m the one who forced you to beco an assassin, and because of , your grandmother suffered so much.
So this is my retribution, don’t feel guilty, I won’t hate you!” Hao Jian said.
?
“Does the fact that you don’t hate an I shouldn’t feel guilty?” Vivian scoffed, “The one who can’t get past this is you.
You have nothing to feel guilty about towards my father, it was his decision to follow you.
He was an adult, he knew what it ant to truly live, so he chose you over the throne.
Even if he died in battle, I believe he never had a single regret!”
?
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian was stunned.
Then the resentnt in his heart dissipated, and he laughed out loud, feeling much more relieved all of a sudden.
?
“So that’s how it is…
That’s how it is…” Hao Jian nodded continuously, a smile on his lips.
The guy was happy, and as long as he was happy, Hao Jian could rest easy!
?
“Two idiots, just die!” Watching Hao Jian and Vivian chatting away, completely ignoring her, Catherine’s rage was uncontrollable.
She charged at them with her knife raised.
?
She dared not kill Hao Jian, but Vivian was a different story!
?
“Kill ?
I’m the God of Death, in this world, the only one who can kill is myself!” Hao Jian bellowed, and then he too lunged forward, clenching his right fist and hamring it into Catherine’s abdon.
