Chapter 508

~4 min read 795 words

In three days, he would be dead!

That female Venerable Zhang Fengya gave him the last three days to settle his affairs, hoping he would give some instructions to his descendants.

Unfortunately… this old man had dedicated his whole life to the Zhang family and hadn't left any descendants at all.

In fact, he had never married in his life.

So, he had nowhere to go to settle his affairs.

He could only sit here alone and drink.

"Old man, you have your day too." Su Ming's expression was calm as he said coldly.

"Have you finally understood the outcome of serving the Zhang family for a lifetime…"

Looking at Meng Qing, in that dispirited appearance, he seemed to see his former self.

Su Ming felt no pity in his heart, his killing intent still icy.

This guy had followed Zhang Tang and didn't know how many bad things he had done, killing how many innocent people.

Killing him was absolutely not unjust!

Su Ming raised his hand and gripped!

Whoosh!

The Frost-Flame Death Scar Broken Sword flew over and landed in his palm.

The sword edge flowed with two colors, one ice and one flame, illuminating Meng Qing's aged face.

Su Ming stabbed with his sword.

It directly pierced through Meng Qing's neck.

Meng Qing subconsciously activated the 【Mist Body】 skill.

Suddenly, his body turned into clouds and mist.

Directly ignoring 99% of physical damage.

Even so, the frost and flame on the sword edge still successfully cut into his mist-formed body, causing him extreme pain.

After all, this wasn't physical damage, and the clouds and mist couldn't avoid it.

Meng Qing's eyes stared fixedly at Su Ming's sword edge, with no intention of resisting at all.

He actually took a step back and actively deactivated his mist form!

"I'm a dying man anyway."

"Hmph… do it!!" he said through gritted teeth.

"Make it quick and clean!"

As he spoke, his eyes still contained endless killing intent.

But that killing intent wasn't directed at Su Ming.

It was resentment toward the Zhang family!!

He had served this family wholeheartedly, hoping, fantasizing that they would grant him the surname Zhang, that they would remove the soul Gu worm from his brain.

Letting him become a true member of the Zhang family!

Unfortunately, that was all just a lie…

Now, he had only pure hatred for the Zhang family!

Su Ming looked into his eyes and observed that determination.

His broken sword fiercely tapped on Meng Qing's forehead, piercing a blood spot.

This sword strike didn't kill him.

Meng Qing's expression was slightly startled as he scolded.

"What are you doing! Could it be that even now, you still want to humiliate this old man!?"

He stood up all at once, his expression filled with sorrow and a trace of anger.

"Give me a quick end!"

"Anyway, even if you don't kill me, I will end my own life!"

"Otherwise, I will suffer the pain of the Soul Prison."

"In this life, I only finally saw everything clearly in my old age; any way of dying is fine, as long as I don't die at the hands of the Zhang family!"

He looked at Su Ming and said coldly, his fists clenched.

Su Ming's expression was cold, but he instantly withdrew his sword.

"Old man, do you hate the Zhang family?"

Hearing this, Meng Qing didn't hesitate.

"Hate, how could I not hate them?"

"For so many years, what I received and what I gave were simply not proportional!"

The old man only had half a body left and was even unwilling to drink medicine to heal, remaining in this incomplete state.

He had no desire for life anymore.

His only remaining arm had its five fingers stuck tightly into his withered yellow hair, his face like dead ashes.

"I was a third-turn at twenty; even if I wasn't a genius, I was qualified to join the Heavenly Tower Realm!" he said with a hoarse voice, recalling the past.

"Even without the Zhang family's help, perhaps I could have promoted to fourth turn, fifth turn!" A hint of reverie appeared in his eyes.

If… if he hadn't joined the Zhang family and had become a fifth-turn relying only on his own strength, then how free and how carefree he would be today!

"But I was young and ignorant, eager for quick success, impatient to become stronger, and eventually walked into the abyss." His tone trembled, his teeth gritted.

"In the end, I paid the price of my freedom; after the Soul Gu was implanted, they only gave me a few pills to increase attributes, and the quality was only platinum or diamond!"

"For so many years, what I've gained is only this little bit of stuff!"
