Chapter 1090: Chapter 134: Where Is the Path to Immortality (96) — Assimilation with Anger
The shadow of the Zhan Lu Sword flickered over the plaza outside the Penglai Palace, slicing through the beams of light with precision, after which Da Zhe quickly turned around.
“Ms. You Ye, what about the boss?”
Although he hadn’t been with the boss for long, Da Zhe had rarely seen the boss leave so suddenly—even this maid, at that moment, seemed to convey a sense of confusion to Da Zhe.
“Ensure the guests’ safety and continue executing the contract.” However, the maid promptly gave the order.
When the master mentioned wanting to take a short leave—the club’s management obligations temporarily shifted onto the shoulders of the maid.
By doing this, as the boss, Luo Qiu had to continually expend a large amount of life—what he gained was merely a power that wouldn’t be triggered by the emergence of a customer.
But relatively… he could ‘freely’ do some things he wanted to do.
“The master might return soon. Before he does, we need to plete this contract swiftly.”
After the maid finished speaking, she jumped directly off the Penglai Palace… Shortly after Daoist Bai Jie blocked the light cannon from the Raxia, he was knocked down and injured, though not fatally—the contract was merely about retreat, not ensuring against injury.
Seeing that the maid had taken action personally, Da Zhe, who had used the Heavenly Sword twice in the Penglai Treasury, could only muster up his spirit—even though he felt exhausted to the point of wanting to lie down and sleep.
Da Zhe first sought out Wang Hu—despite being under the massive attacks of that colossal entity, Wang Hu still lost his rationality, madly pursuing Gongsun Wuwo and Gong Fanxing.
Da Zhe took a look… seeing Wang Hu’s appearance clearly, he couldn’t help but sigh, “I already reminded you to leave first, sigh…”
Shaking his head, Da Zhe kicked off powerfully and dashed out.
At this moment, Gong Fanxing, unable to avoid Huang Baifu, also had to fend off frenzied attacks from the Raxia, and eventually got hit by the light cannon.
The enormous power exploded in front of Gong Fanxing instantly—she couldn’t defend in time, only managing to minimize her damage.
However, because of this, she lost her balance, falling from the sky… Gong Fanxing frowned, but she quickly regained her sense of balance, ensuring a safe landing wouldn’t be an issue.
But at this moment, she felt like she’d crashed into something soft, followed by a supportive force.
“Are you alright?”
Gong Fanxing was startled, seeing the mysterious youth who came with Daoist Bai Jie, now holding her with one hand while swinging his sword with the other, blocking the ining blast of the light cannon.
The light reflected off his chiseled face, casting intermittent glimmers… For some reason, Gong Fanxing’s heart fluttered like a startled deer, a flush of shyness surged within her.
“That’s good then.” The young man… Da Zhe nodded, then let go of Gong Fanxing and charged directly at Wang Hu amidst the barrage of light cannon fire.
“This guy… not bad at all.” Gong Fanxing muttered softly as she watched Da Zhe’s retreating figure.
…
…
The salvo of the light cannons nearly covered half of the Penglai Treasury… Outside, the sound was like thunder, even the ground seemed to tremble.
Yet inside the Raxia, it was extraordinarily quiet… So quiet that even slight footsteps could be heard.
Long Xiruo heard the footsteps, slowly lifting her head as she felt them approaching—Su Zijun in front of her evidently saw who was ing sooner.
Her disheveled hair obscured Long Xiruo’s vision, but she could see Su Zijun wearing a frustrated expression—she turned her head forcefully, and at that moment, the metal cross stakes that confined her melted away, releasing her triumphantly.
“It’s you…” Long Xiruo was slightly unsteady as she landed.
What appeared on the metal bridge was none other than the owner of the club—Long Xiruo couldn’t shake the feeling that she’d encountered Luo Qiu quite often recently.
“We meet again, Ms. Long.” Luo Qiu nodded and greeted her simply.
Long Xiruo was stunned—the person before her was indeed the owner of that ‘place’ she knew… only this meeting was somewhat different.
He was no longer that gentle and refined figure who made people feel as if they were basking in spring breezes.
At this moment, Long Xiruo suddenly felt that the owner before her was very similar to the state when they first met.
But before Long Xiruo could think further, Su Zijun and Gui Qianyi also escaped one by one.
After landing, Su Zijun grabbed her wrist, twisted it, and with a frown, walked over—the Xuanyuan Royal Princess’s face was extremely grim at this moment.
Under Long Xiruo’s surprised gaze, Su Zijun approached Luo Qiu and looked up, “There’s a business deal, will you take it? I’m buying a head! Name your price!!”
The wealth and arrogance of the Xuanyuan Royal Princess once again showed Luo Qiu what it meant to act willfully—but Luo Qiu only shook his head.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Su Zijun, for now, I can’t engage in any transaction with you.”
“What?” Su Zijun was suddenly taken aback, exclaiming in surprise, “Then why are you here!”
“I think…” Luo Qiu looked at the massive sphere ahead, seemingly uncertain, “I might be here to handle some personal matters.”
Due to Luo Qiu’s gaze, everyone else also looked toward the massive sphere—since Count Dekreya entered it, he hadn’t emerged, but cries of anguish had echoed from inside several times.
“What do you mean?” Long Xiruo frowned.
Luo Qiu simply shook his head, saying nothing more, taking a step forward—after that step, he was already before the massive sphere.
“Inside, there’s an extraterrestrial invader! It threatens the entire world!” Long Xiruo’s face changed dramatically!
She recalled what the extraterrestrial invader once said—using the Book of Araiye, it could rewrite the entire world’s history and bee the god the entire world worships!
Long Xiruo knew the club’s trading principles… although she still didn’t fully understand how deep the club’s foundation was, she suddenly realized the reason Count Dekreya used the Book of Araiye to alter history.
Sacrifice—!
Long Xiruo didn’t know the extraterrestrial invader’s ultimate goal—but if it used the lives of the entire world’s creatures as trade goods…
“If the world were really to end, what would you do?” Luo Qiu turned his head, glancing at Long Xiruo.
“At the very least, I won’t sit and wait for death!” Long Xiruo roared angrily, “Because destiny means death, I should calmly accept it? That’s bullshit!!”
“I think so too.” Luo Qiu smiled slightly, softly saying, “Actually, I really appreciate your forthrightness, Ms. Long… I hope you can always maintain it. It’s too dangerous here, let me escort you away.”
Not giving anyone time to react—they only felt their surroundings change abruptly. After this, they found themselves outside the Raxia… falling onto the plaza outside the Penglai Palace.
Not just Long Xiruo, but Su Zijun, Gui Qianyi… even Xiao Shengmo, who had just e to his senses, all felt a sense of bewilderment.
It seemed as if some efforts could be easily negated—yes, no matter how hard you try, in the end, you might only be doing something futile.
“Bastard!!” Long Xiruo shouted angrily into the sky.
…
…
Amazingly, even though it turned frantically, generating enormous power, the rotating massive metal column before him didn’t make much noise.
As Luo Qiu walked forward, an entrance suddenly split open in the spherical control room—this was clearly the door to the control room.
Inside the control room, there was no normal lighting… only the glow from the multitude of floating screens in the air illuminated everything here.
Luo Qiu saw a girl here… Gaia.
Instinct told Luo Qiu that this Gaia before him was different from all other bat types.
Apart from Gaia, there was nothing else in the control room… Luo Qiu furrowed his brows, instinctively feeling that someone had already departed before he arrived.
It was probably Cicero’s student.
Not encountering Count Dekreya here, Luo Qiu wasn’t particularly disappointed… he just walked towards the girl with closed eyes in front of him.
The girl merely looked at Luo Qiu with a hollow gaze… devoid of focus, devoid of emotion.
“What are you… looking at?”
Standing in front of this girl, Luo Qiu suddenly became lost in thought, closing his eyes as some vague images began to surface in his mind.
But these images only flashed by fleetingly, too quickly for him to grasp—an incredibly bewildering occurrence to someone like Luo Qiu—the club owner.
An unusual emotion, like an erupting volcano, suddenly broke through a barrier inside Luo Qiu’s emotions!
Anger!
An unprecedented anger… as if it didn’t belong to him, yet came from the depths of his soul!
Luo Qiu, like an outsider, carefully discerned this eruption of anger… just, to his astonishment, the anger came too suddenly and too intensely.
He even wished not to make logical analyses.
Seemingly… willing to let himself be devoured by this fury.
Just then, a lightning-formed spear silently came out… from the girl’s hands.
It pierced straight through Luo Qiu’s chest… Luo Qiu opened his eyes, as the chaotic and unclear information was instantly driven out of his mind.
The girl holding the lightning spear had her arm trembling endlessly… the girl’s expression remained indifferent, her gaze still so void, devoid of light… tears just flowed down.
At this moment, a golden mark slowly emerged on her forehead.
Lightning burst forth from Luo Qiu’s chest in a flash… within the control room, a lightning crack exploded—Luo Qiu’s body was pletely shattered in the explosion.
And the girl, at that instant, let her arm holding the lightning spear fall suddenly, large tears streamed down, yet her gaze remained utterly stagnant devoid of any ripples.
…
In the air, strands of black mist gradually floated… soon, these mists condensed into form, being Count Dekreya.
At this time, Count Dekreya was staring fiercely at the spot where Luo Qiu’s body had turned to fragments and disappeared, a trace of ecstatic delight flashed through his eyes, “The legends were indeed true… Royal Power can indeed kill the Root’s rightful heir! Haha… hahaha… hahahahaha!! Hahaha, indeed!!!!”
The maniacal laughter filled every corner of the main control room, even though Count Dekreya’s body was on the verge of collapse, it seemed impossible to hide the ecstatic joy in his heart!
At this moment, looking at the place where Luo Qiu vanished, Count Dekreya sneered grimly, “Although I don’t know why you resemble him… but he cannot return! In his quest to kill the ‘Root’, he was erased long ago!! And you… are truly a waste of resources! To bee the rightful heir and yet not increase your patibility with the Root… being the rightful heir for just one year? What a joke!”
While saying this, Count Dekreya turned his gaze back to the ‘experimental model’ Gaia, looking at the two lines of tears on her cold face with inexplicable irritation.
“You monster, what right do you have to cry!!”
Count Dekreya suddenly strode to the ‘experimental model’ Gaia, raised his palm… the tears under the girl’s hollow gaze made him want to destroy her!
But, as his palm was about to strike the girl’s cheek… Count Dekreya’s hand vanished abruptly.
His arm vaporized instantly… after vaporizing, it turned into tiny black particles, eventually dissipating!
Count Dekreya’s pupils widened at that moment… he sensed something behind him, something… something emerging!
Count Dekreya turned around in an instant!
In the air, tiny beams of light converged… among these converging micro beams, a figure gradually became clear.
Gradually, Luo Qiu appeared again in this control room—he slowly opened his eyes, as if first waking.
Count Dekreya froze at that moment.
He was terrified and shook his head in bewilderment, his lips parted, “No… no… you… you came as just an illusion?!”
“No, my body was indeed eliminated by a very strong force.” Luo Qiu looked at Count Dekreya expressionlessly and said calmly: “And probably from the atomic level, wiped out pletely, this force was indeed formidable.”
“Impossible!!!” Count Dekreya screamed at this moment: “You’re deceiving me!!! Destroyed to such an extent! You’re fundamentally incapable of resurrecting!!!! Even as the Root’s legitimate proxy!! You cannot resurrect!!!!”
“I don’t know how much you understand about me, or perhaps misinterpreted something about the shop behind me.” Luo Qiu remained quite calm, “But, from the moment I took over, it was clearly stated. I… am Undying.”
“Gaia!!!!!” At this moment, Count Dekreya suddenly shouted, “Undying… Undying, I’ll kill you a thousand times over… million times!!!!!!”
Amidst Count Dekreya’s screams, the girl slowly lifted the lightning spear again… though raising it extremely slowly, her arm seemed to be resisting something… finally, there appeared a shred of struggle on her previously numb face.
“Gaia!! Gaia!!! You’re defying my mand…” The Earl’s voice abruptly stopped.
The black Twin Snakes Ring shattered in this instant, falling off from the girl’s long hair… simultaneously, countless inprehensible whispers echoed from all directions in the main control room.
“I… might be thinking of killing someone for the first time in my life.”
A quiet voice echoed in the control room, Luo Qiu stepped towards Count Dekreya… that vacant gaze made the Earl instantly recall the gaze of the experimental model Gaia.
Cold, devoid of feeling… looking at a dead object!
Count Dekreya recoiled in fear, desperate to flee—pletely flee this place!
But his body at that moment was immobilized—the Earl attempted to utilize the power derived from the White Bone Palm, but what drove him into utter despair was the palm fracturing… fracturing bit by bit.
At that moment, Count Dekreya saw behind Luo Qiu, a giant door appeared unknowingly!
When the door appeared, Count Dekreya stumbled and fell to his knees.
The massive door slightly opened… the surrounding whispers at that moment angrily intensified!
In an instant, from the crack of the giant door, strands of black strings shot out—they wrapped around Luo Qiu, causing his steps to involuntarily halt.
Luo Qiu attempted to lift his arm but found his body nearly immobilized by these black threads.
“Don’t obstruct me…” Luo Qiu whispered quietly: “If you still wish for me to continue being this boss… then be quiet.”
The whispers crazily surged, yet the black threads encircling Luo Qiu did not loosen!
“I said… Go—Back!!”
At that moment, anger thoroughly merged with Luo Qiu, along with that, the crazily surging whispers gradually faded away, seemingly unwilling, the black threads one by one snapped on Luo Qiu’s body.
The door slit slowly closed, and the door gradually dissipated.
Count Dekreya murmured at this moment: “You actually repelled the Door of Root…”
