Chapter 1140: Duel

Duel

Chen Ling forcefully endured the headache brought by the chaotic thoughts just now, directly speaking to Little Peach and the others:

"Come here... we should go."

Little Peach turned her head blankly. Seeing the dense centipede legion around, she was first startled, but after seeing Chen Ling in the center, she was somewhat surprised and puzzled.

"Big Brother Chen Ling?"

"Great King Chen Ling specially came over to save us!" Little White spoke at the right time. "He pursued from a thousand miles away, slaughtered the entire Scarlet Heaven Sect Branch, and only then rescued us..."

As the centipede legion made way for a path, Little Peach's group of four trotted all the way to Chen Ling's side. But at this time Chen Ling had no mood to explain too much to them, directly patting a small centipede at the side.

The small centipede immediately lay down respectfully, indicating that the four of Little Peach could sit on its back.

"Big Brother Chen Ling... this..."

"Oh, okay!"

Although the centipede was ugly and ferocious, the four of Little Peach still overcame their fear and sat on it.

Chen Ling also stepped onto the head of the big centipede with one step. His tall body stood towering in the gloom. The surrounding centipede legion changed direction, about to leave in the direction of the Integration Faction...

"Wait!!"

Right at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

Chen Ling, standing on top of the skyscraper-like centipede, suddenly paused. With a slight thought, he made the centipede legion stop, then turned his head to look behind...

Under the impact of the Thought Calamity's thoughts, Chen Ling's consciousness was still somewhat chaotic, almost forgetting that Jian Changsheng and the others were also here.

Surrounded by the centipede legion, that red-robed figure slowly turned around:

"What... do you need me to escort you back to the Human Domains?"

Jian Changsheng looked at Chen Ling's indifferent face, his fists clenching tighter and tighter.

With a punch, he smashed the Scarlet Heaven Cult stone house beside him into pieces. Veins bulged on his arm. His pair of eyes stared dead-on at Chen Ling, his voice incomparably low and deep:

"Since just now, what nonsense have you been babbling about... what not everything is fake, what letting us see clearly what you look like, taking advantage of our Divine Pathways being suppressed, alone self-righteously slaughtering all sides, and then superciliously turning around and leaving...

Have you stayed in the Gray World for too long, even your brain has gone bad? Do you fucking think this is very handsome?"

Beside him, Sun Bumian's eyelids twitched. He silently nudged Jian Changsheng, whispering:

"If you have something to say, say it nicely..."

"How am I not saying it nicely, look at him like this, does it seem like he treats us as Brothers?!" Jian Changsheng turned his head to look at Chen Ling, seemingly angered not lightly by everything just now,

"What? Learned a little bit of Mockery's things, and you don't treat yourself as a human anymore??

The few of us were dead tired trying to save you in the Wuji Domain, even my pendant was... As a result, you patted your butt and left without a word. What do we count as in your eyes?? Brothers when useful, garbage to be thrown away when useless?!"

Chen Ling stood on the centipede's head, looking at the furiously jumping Little Jian, his eyes slightly narrowing:

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"What do I want to say? It's you who should give us an explanation!!"

"You pursued a thousand miles to come here, just to seek an explanation from me?"

"Exactly!!" Jian Changsheng shook off Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua's hands, taking several steps forward. "I just want you to give an explanation. If you can't, then properly admit your mistake! Say you shouldn't have left without saying goodbye!

Then, go back with us. As for your grudge with that old fart Red King, we can shoulder it together. If we want to curse we'll curse, if we want to fight we'll fight, if we want to rebel we'll rebel! Anyway, you're not the only one who wants to seek an explanation from him."

Sun Bumian nodded madly.

Chen Ling looked at Jian Changsheng, falling into silence.

What Jian Changsheng was truly angry about was his leaving without saying goodbye. Regarding this point, Chen Ling actually didn't have much to defend either... The 6-series expended so much effort to save him in the Wuji Domain, yet he left without even saying hello. It was indeed his own fault.

Jiang Xiaohua didn't care about these, and Sun Bumian's personality was lazy, but Jian Changsheng was quite single-minded... If he couldn't swallow a breath, he would stiffen his neck and charge forward until he got an answer.

"Big Brother Chen Ling..."

Little Peach and the others blankly looked at this scene. Although they didn't know who Jian Changsheng and the others were, they knew these people wanted to take Chen Ling away. There was some worry in their eyes.

Chen Ling was very clear, he couldn't return to the Human Domains anymore. The identity of Mockery, the learning at the Integration Faction, and also those things he just saw... Here, he had too many things unresolved.

"... I won't go back with you." Chen Ling slowly spoke.

Hearing this answer, Jian Changsheng was silent for a long time, giving a bitter smile.

He didn't seem surprised.

He continued to walk forward, casually picking up a sharp piece of stone on the ground, slowly slitting his own wrist...

"Spades, what are you doing?" Jiang Xiaohua exclaimed, about to go forward and stop him.

But in the next moment, Sun Bumian pulled the corner of his clothes.

"Did you forget? He wants to seek a Duel with Hearts."

"But..."

Sun Bumian shook his head at him. Only then did Jiang Xiaohua stop his footsteps, silently turning his head to look forward.

"Before coming, I already guessed you would say this." Jian Changsheng lightly spoke,

"You are Six of Hearts, you are Chen Ling... such a proud person like you, being schemed against by the Red King, how could you easily go back... But it doesn't matter.

Whether you treat yourself as a human, or treat yourself as a Calamity, no matter what thing you are, as long as I can defeat you, I can shatter that self-righteous pride of yours, and that baffling sensitivity of yours...

Come,

Don't you feel you are very scary, very formidable after Calamity Transformation?

I will step you under my feet, proving that those things of yours... are nothing at all!"

Scarlet fresh blood dripped down, spreading into a pool of blood on the ground, also dyeing a touch of redness in Jian Changsheng's pupils...

In the next moment, terrifying Killing Intent madly surged from Jian Changsheng's body!

Domain, [Avici Purgatory].

Chen Ling stood on top of the centipede's head, looking down as the Killing Intent madly spread with Jian Changsheng as the center. The oppressiveness of the peak Fifth-Tier swept over, his gaze gradually turning solemn.

"Are you serious?"

A black Killing Intent divine ring was outlined behind Jian Changsheng's back. His palm grabbed at nothingness, a blood-colored Long Sword pulled out from the Killing Intent, monstrous Killing Intent lingering around his side.

Jian Changsheng didn't speak,

His actions were the best answer.

The gloomy starlight reflected in Chen Ling's scarlet pupils, like being shrouded in a layer of white frost. He also didn't say more, but took a step out from the top of the centipede's head.

"Merely breaking through one Rank, has made your mentality swell quite a bit..."

"Fine, I will let you clearly recognize again, the gap between us... exactly how big it is."

The Great Crimson Theatrical Robe danced wildly in the Killing Intent. Giant Red Paper pythons extended out from under the hem of the Theatrical Robe, like monster tentacles spreading in all directions...
