Chapter 139 Disgusting
Zhang Hao was prepared and dodged to the side, barely avoiding the attack of the man in black. At the same time, he threw the wooden box in his hand to Li Xueruo and shouted, "Senior Sister, hurry up!"
Li Xueruo took the wooden box and was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, the man in black attacked Zhang Hao again, with each move being ruthless and merciless.
"You little bastard, you're looking for death!" Upon seeing this, the leader roared, waving the sword in his hand and joined the battle.
For a moment, the training room was filled with sword energy and whistling palm winds. The man in black was fighting one against two, but he was not at a disadvantage at all. Instead, he had the upper hand.
Although Zhang Hao was proficient in modern fighting skills, he was just a beginner after all. Facing a master like the man in black, he was no match at all and could only barely defend himself.
"boom!"
With a dull thud, Zhang Hao was unable to dodge and was hit on the chest by the man in black. He flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, spurting blood from his mouth.
"Zhang Hao!" Li Xueruo exclaimed when she saw this, and the wooden box in her hand fell to the ground.
The man in black ignored Li Xueruo and walked towards Zhang Hao step by step. A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes and he sneered, "Boy, I'm going to take your life!"
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Zhao Tianyu, who was originally lying on the ground, suddenly let out a roar. A violent wave of air burst out from his body, which pushed the approaching man in black back several steps.
"What's going on?" The man in black's face changed and he looked at Zhao Tianyu in surprise.
Zhao Tianyu slowly stood up, his eyes were red and he exuded a terrifying aura, like a demon from hell, which was frightening.
"You... who are you?" The man in black looked at Zhao Tianyu, his tone full of fear.
Zhao Tianyu ignored the man in black and walked towards Li Xueruo step by step. The ground seemed to tremble with every step he took. His eyes were fixed on the wooden box in Li Xueruo's hand, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Senior Sister... run..." Zhang Hao struggled to get up, but fell to the ground weakly. He could only watch Zhao Tianyu approaching Li Xueruo step by step.
Li Xueruo looked at Zhao Tianyu, who seemed like a completely different person, and her heart was filled with fear. She wanted to escape, but found that her legs seemed to be filled with lead and she could not move even a step.
"Give...the thing...to me..." Zhao Tianyu's voice was hoarse and low, like the roar of a wild beast, creepy.
Li Xueruo stepped back in fear, but accidentally tripped over the wooden box on the ground. She fell to the ground, and the wooden box in her hand flew out and landed at Zhao Tianyu's feet...
The sound of the wooden box falling to the ground was particularly harsh in the silent training room, and it seemed to knock on Li Xueruo's heart, and fear overwhelmed her like a tide. She stared blankly at Zhao Tianyu, whose once familiar face was now distorted and terrifying, and his eyes flashed with a frightening greed.
"Give...the thing...to me..." Zhao Tianyu roared like a wild beast. He slowly bent down and reached for the wooden box on the ground with his trembling hands.
"Senior Sister... run..." Zhang Hao, who was lying on the ground, struggled to get up, but his injury was agitated and another wave of severe pain came, making him groan softly.
Li Xueruo came to her senses and, ignoring the pain in her body, she used her hands and feet to step back, but Zhao Tianyu grabbed her ankle.
"Senior Sister? Haha, do you think he treats you as his senior sister? He just wants to use you!" Zhao Tianyu pulled Li Xueruo in front of him suddenly and held her roughly in his arms.
"You're talking nonsense!" Li Xueruo struggled in fear, but couldn't break free of Zhao Tianyu's iron-like arms. "Let me go! What on earth do you want to do?"
"What? Of course I want to take back what belongs to me!" Zhao Tianyu laughed crazily, staring greedily at the wooden box in Li Xueruo's hand, "This should have been mine! It's mine!"
"You're crazy! Wake up!" Li Xueruo shouted desperately. She didn't understand why the once honest Zhao Tianyu would become like this. "The things in this wooden box are of no use to you. Let me go!"
“Useless? You say it’s useless?!” Zhao Tianyu roared, throwing Li Xueruo to the ground. “Once I get the things inside, I will be invincible! By then, I will make everyone surrender to me!”
He snatched the wooden box from Li Xueruo's hand and opened it impatiently. However, when he saw what was inside the box, his expression froze instantly, replaced by deep disbelief and anger.
"This... How is this possible?!" Zhao Tianyu took out a yellowed ancient book from the box with shaking hands and flipped through it in disbelief. "How could it be a sword manual? Xiaoyao Sword Technique? What kind of bullshit is this?!"
He angrily threw the sword manual to the ground, stomped on it a few times, and roared hysterically: "This is not true! This is not what I want! What I want is the supreme power! The power that allows me to control everything!"
"You... who are you?" Li Xueruo looked at the nearly crazy Zhao Tianyu in front of her, her heart filled with fear and confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
"Me? Haha, I'm just a poor creature played by fate..." Zhao Tianyu suddenly became quiet, his eyes full of pain and struggle, "I have been searching for so long, but in the end it's all in vain..."
He turned around slowly, his eyes fell on Zhang Hao who was lying on the ground, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
"It's all your fault! You took everything from me!"
Zhao Tianyu's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Li Xueruo's heart. She looked at the man she once knew in disbelief, as if she was meeting him for the first time. The madness and despair in his eyes made her feel strange and frightened.
"No...impossible..." Li Xueruo murmured to herself. She couldn't accept Zhao Tianyu's transformation, and couldn't believe that he would say such words.
"How is that impossible? Do you think he really cares about you? He just wants to use you!" Zhao Tianyu laughed wildly, his laughter full of self-mockery and bitterness, "He is a liar just like you!"
"Shut up!" Li Xueruo roared, trying to break free from Zhao Tianyu's grip, but he pushed her to the ground.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Zhao Tianyu looked down at Li Xueruo, his eyes full of mockery, "Do you think I don't know your secret? Do you think I don't know why you approached him?"
Li Xueruo looked at Zhao Tianyu in horror, with a storm in her heart. She didn't understand why Zhao Tianyu knew her secret, and she didn't understand why he suddenly became so crazy.
"You...what do you want to say?" Li Xueruo suppressed the fear in her heart and asked calmly.
"What do I want to say?" Zhao Tianyu sneered, "I want to say that we are all poor creatures played by fate! What we have been pursuing so hard, in the end, is just empty!"
He suddenly squatted down, grabbed Li Xueruo by the collar, lifted her up from the ground, his eyes full of madness and resentment.
"Do you think that you can change your fate just because you have obtained the Xiaoyao Sword Technique? Do you think you can escape from all this? I tell you, it's impossible! None of us can escape!"
Zhao Tianyu's roar echoed in the training room, like a wounded beast, full of despair and madness.
"You're crazy! Let me go!" Li Xueruo struggled in horror, but could not break free from Zhao Tianyu's control.
"Crazy? Haha, I am crazy! You guys drove me crazy!" Zhao Tianyu laughed crazily, his laughter was full of sadness and despair, "In order to gain power, I betrayed my master and sold my soul, but in the end, I got nothing! And you, you got what I dreamed of easily!"
"You're wrong! We don't have it as easy as you think!" Li Xueruo couldn't help but retort, "We also have our own difficulties and helplessness!"
"Hardship? Helplessness?" Zhao Tianyu laughed as if he had heard a funny joke. "Don't make me laugh! How can you, the famous and upright sects, understand the hardships of us low-level disciples? How can you understand the choices we have to make in order to survive and become stronger?"
He pushed Li Xueruo to the ground suddenly, his eyes full of resentment and hatred.
"I'm telling you, I won't let you go today! I'm going to make you pay for what you did!"
As soon as Zhao Tianyu finished speaking, he suddenly pounced on Zhang Hao who was lying on the ground. A dagger appeared in his hand, flashing with cold light, and pierced Zhang Hao's heart.
"No!" Li Xueruo screamed and threw herself towards Zhao Tianyu desperately, trying to stop his crazy behavior.
However, it was too late...
The dagger in Zhao Tianyu's hand fiercely stabbed into Zhang Hao's chest...
Blood instantly dyed Zhang Hao's clothes red...
"No..." Li Xueruo screamed heartbreakingly, her vision went dark, and she passed out...
Li Xueruo only felt a black screen before her eyes and then she lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, she woke up in a daze and found herself lying on a simple wooden bed. The room was dimly lit and filled with a faint smell of herbs.
"Are you awake?"
A low voice sounded in her ears. Li Xueruo turned her head suddenly and saw Zhang Hao sitting beside the bed, looking at her with concern.
"You... you're still alive?" Li Xueruo widened her eyes in disbelief, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Of course I'm alive." Zhang Hao smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth. "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have reported to the King of Hell by now."
Only then did Li Xueruo notice that Zhang Hao's chest was wrapped in thick bandages and his face was a little pale, obviously his injuries were serious.
"Where is Zhao Tianyu?" Li Xueruo struggled to sit up and asked anxiously.
"I beat him away." Zhang Hao said lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"Fought him away?" Li Xueruo was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something and exclaimed, "You mean, you defeated Zhao Tianyu?"
In Li Xueruo's impression, although Zhang Hao was very smart, he had no talent for martial arts and his martial arts skills were mediocre. But Zhao Tianyu was different. He was a leader in the sect, with superb martial arts skills, and even his master praised him highly.
"It was just luck." Zhang Hao said lightly, as if he didn't want to talk about it more.
"Impossible! You must be lying to me!" Li Xueruo still couldn't believe it. How could someone with no martial arts skills at all defeat Zhao Tianyu?
"If you don't believe it, forget it." Zhang Hao shrugged without any intention of explaining.
Li Xueruo wanted to ask more, but suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from her chest. She couldn't help but groan, and her face turned pale in an instant.
"How are you? Is your wound hurting again?" Seeing this, Zhang Hao hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Xueruo and asked with concern.
"I'm fine..." Li Xueruo shook her head, enduring the pain and saying, "Don't worry about me. It's more important to heal your wounds first."
"My injury is healed now." Zhang Hao smiled, "But you need to have a good rest."
As he spoke, he helped Li Xueruo lie down, then stood up, walked to the table, poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
"Have some water."
Li Xueruo took the cup of water and drank it in small sips.
Looking at Li Xueruo's pale face, Zhang Hao felt mixed emotions. He knew that the reason why Li Xueruo became like this was because of him. The biting cold was like countless ice needles, piercing his whole body. He suddenly opened his eyes, but found himself in darkness. There was a smell of corruption in the air, like the smell of old mold mixed with a faint smell of blood, which was disgusting.
