Chapter 425: Reminded Me

In Su Rui’s eyes, Zhang Mu saw not sadness or pity, but jealousy.

Yes, Zhang Mu wouldn’t misunderstand that emotion, it is jealousy. But he didn’t know why Su Rui’s eyes showed that emotion.

“Actually, we are the same kind of people, with lonely hearts hidden in our bodies.”

Su Rui’s words softly reached Zhang Mu’s ears, but he didn’t expect Zhang Mu’s disdainful mockery in response.

Even though his voice was unsteady, the contempt in Zhang Mu’s words made Su Rui’s smile slowly freeze on his face.

“No, we are not the same kind of people. You are too full of yourself, Su Rui, unworthy.”

“I wonder where your confidence comes from, fading so quickly like a dying flame?”

Seeing the color drain from Zhang Mu’s face, Su Rui’s smile bloomed once again.

“But it doesn’t matter, you are about to die, all the second-rank evolvers here will die, and in Ordos City and Hohhot City, the million humans gathered there will all die.”

This statement jolted Zhang Mu, piecing together some trivial things he couldn’t understand, prompted by Su Rui’s words.

However, he had no more thoughts to spare, feeling really uncomfortable.

It felt like countless big hands were pushing on Zhang Mu’s chest, gripping tighter and tighter, making his consciousness fade. He collapsed to the ground, hearing faint calls for help from Yuan Rui and others.

How could he die here without even seeing clearly what was happening?

“Host, your vital signs are fading.”

Zhang Mu heard the voice of Blood Lotus in his mind, struggling to reply with his last bit of consciousness.

“His heart has ruptured, even a second-rank healing potion won’t save him.”

“After I die, take my blood to save Yuan Rui and the others by parasitizing another body. Do you understand?”

Blood Lotus had matured in intelligence after becoming second-rank, and due to their bond with Zhang Mu, their personality was very similar to his.

“None of the others here are eligible for me to parasitize.”

Zhang Mu sadly smiled, knowing that Blood Lotus wouldn’t last long if they acted independently. Without being able to parasitize another human body, and unsure of how many people Su Rui could save.

Without being able to kill all, Hachikuju and Qizilbash’s people were really collapsing on the ground, and the final result was still the same.

Is there no way left to save Yuan Rui and them in the end?

Cold, bone-chilling, like being immersed in an icy cellar.

This coldness spread rapidly from Zhang Mu’s heart to his whole body.

Blood flowed out, taking away all his warmth and light.

“I can temporarily save your life, I’ll take that as your consent.”

Just as Zhang Mu felt himself about to fall into darkness, he heard Blood Lotus’s life-saving words like a straw to grasp, but he had no strength left to respond.

Thump! Thump thump!

In the darkness, the strong beating of his heart enveloped his whole world and gradually pulled him back to the light, and his body slowly regained consciousness with the flow of fresh blood.

At this moment, Zhang Mu heard the voice of Blood Lotus in his mind.

“Host, you have woken up. My method is just a temporary solution. The dagger pierced your entire heart and you cannot move.

I used my roots to completely sew your heart and this dagger together. What is flowing in your body now is the second-rank beast blood that has been transformed by my essence.”

“Beast blood, wrapping around a heart with a half dagger, quite interesting.”

Zhang Mu mumbled to himself, he could clearly feel his fingers slowly regaining sensation.

“Blood Vine, how long can you hold on?”

Upon hearing Zhang Mu’s voice, Blood Lotus quickly replied, “I will continue to provide you with beast blood, and the waste blood will flow back to my essence. But your heart cannot withstand further shocks and energy attacks.

Once it is damaged again, I will not be able to save you.”

“As long as I can ensure that the heart is not attacked, I can continue to live, is that what you mean?”

Blood Lotus hesitated for a moment before replying, “In theory, that’s true.”

“That Su Rui is also a spirit-type evolver. If I use my psychic power to track him, he will notice. You quietly take action and kill him.”

Zhang Mu lay on the ground in a pool of blood, looking like a corpse, but he was communicating silently with Blood Lotus.

In a hidden corner under Zhang Mu, a thin vine silently burrowed into the soil.

On the other end, Su Rui bent down, grabbing Gesar’s collar, examining her delicate face carefully.

Ignoring Gesar’s disgust, Su Rui continued to smile and remarked, “I’ve been chasing you for so long, but you still show no interest. Seems like wooing girls straightforwardly is better, especially in these end times. I’ve been foolish.”

Gesar, already weak, struggled to speak, “Disgusting, Su Rui, I didn’t expect this from you.”

“I’ve always been like this, haven’t you noticed?”

At that moment, Hachikuju found some strength from nowhere, lunged at Su Rui, but the speed was too slow, and the force too weak. Su Rui easily knocked Hachikuju over, causing her to hit her head on the ground and fall unconscious. He said, “Want to go see your brother Zhang Mu? Don’t worry, your turn is coming soon.”

When Su Rui mentioned Zhang Mu, Gesar felt a surge of anger mixed with deep sadness, “Just for a position as a Capital City Lord, I never expected you, Su Rui, to resort to murder. Don’t you realize that tens of thousands of eyes are watching your every move? When we return to the city, Chief Zhang Yi will definitely punish you, and blood debts will be repaid!”

“Repayment of blood debts? Gesar, you are thinking too much.”

“Tens of thousands of people are nothing more than mere pawns. Zhang Yi is already overwhelmed and won’t bother with all of you.”

With fury in her eyes, Gesar asked, “What exactly are you trying to do?”

Su Rui’s eyes gleamed with mockery as he frivolously said, “I want to have you, right here, in front of all these people, in front of the so-called tens of thousands you speak of.”

His hand slowly moved down, undoing the buttons of Gesar’s collar. However, Su Rui never expected Gesar to show any hint of fear that he had anticipated. Her tone was resolute and scornful.

“I never thought you would turn out like this, or maybe I was just blind not to see it earlier.

Come, treat me like I’ve been fooled by a monster wearing a human skin, even if I die, I’ll become a vengeful ghost haunting you for eternity.”

“Come on, you beast who hasn’t seen a real woman!”

Su Rui stopped what he was doing, his smile fading as he muttered to himself.

“You’re right, I don’t feel anything for you at all, unexpectedly.

Actually, it reminded me.”

His casually spoken next words made Gesar, who had never shown fear before, change her expression.

“It reminded me that I am no longer human.”
