The group was momentarily stunned.
Jing Kaiyu stepped forward to support Gao Kai’s collapsing body, pulling him backward.
“Seeking death…”
Roar…
Ma Deju, who had been sent flying by Gao Kai, roared.
A golden light flashed on his body, and a dragon-shaped energy blast shot towards the man.
The man waved a hand, his palm radiating a milky white light.
He drew a circle in the air, diverting Ma Deju’s energy blast to the side.
Boom…
With a deafening sound, the energy blast hit, shattering the rocks.
“Fu Yun Shou… it’s you… Luo Qingyu!”
At this moment, Ma Deju also recognized the person before him.
His eyes immediately filled with apprehension.
This Luo Qingyu was known as the foremost expert among the eight great families.
Ma Deju belonged to the current younger generation.
Luo Qingyu was a generation above him, the same generation as his aunt.
In the central area of the small world, the Ma family’s residence.
The three Lin siblings heard a loud bang and rushed out to investigate.
They saw Grandma Ma and Aunt Ma soaring into the sky on golden dragons.
Their direction indicated the entrance to the small world, where the loud noise had originated.
“What happened?” Lin Ran asked.
“I don’t know, let’s go see!” Lin Chi moved towards the direction.
But a flash of golden light appeared before them. Grandma Ma, who had just flown away, suddenly appeared in front of the three of them at extreme speed.
Without a word, she grabbed Lin Yu and shot away again.
Lin Chi and Lin Ran were left staring at each other. They knew Grandma Ma would not harm Lin Yu.
“Quick, I smell blood on Grandma Ma!” Lin Chi said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a large wolfhound, reaching his maximum speed.
Lin Ran also affixed a talisman to his calf and followed.
Along the way, they encountered Ma Ruolin and likewise shot a talisman to her leg.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance of the small world.
What greeted their eyes was Lin Yu busily attending to someone.
It was Gao Kai, who had been struck by a flying knife.
No wonder Grandma Ma had rushed back so urgently to bring Lin Yu.
“Luo Qingyu, how dare you come to my Ma family’s small world to cause trouble? Do you take this old woman for a pushover?”
Grandma Ma, full of spirit, stood before everyone, holding her dragon-head cane.
“Madam Ma, what are you saying? Would I dare to come without some preparation?”
Luo Qingyu smiled and slowly unbuttoned his clothes.
At that moment, all eyes were fixed on him, everyone looking tense.
They saw a large coil of explosives wrapped around his body beneath his clothes, with numerous fuses covering him.
Upon seeing this, Grandma Ma acted quickly. The Dragon Soul Protective Shield that enveloped her flashed, instantly trapping Luo Qingyu within it.
“Madam Ma, your Dragon Soul Protective Shield might not be able to withstand this!”
As Luo Qingyu spoke, he took a leather bag from his waist.
He tilted the opening downwards, and with a rustle, a pile of boxes instantly accumulated at his feet.
He reached out and opened them one by one.
“I wonder how much damage this 5 tons of TNT will do to your Ma family’s small world?
Oh, right… Madam Ma, don’t make any rash moves. This detonator is connected to my heart.
When my heart stops beating, it will immediately… boom… hahaha…”
Grandma Ma, who was about to act, froze upon hearing his words.
No one had anticipated this turn of events. Even the usually calm Madam Ma was stunned.
“I’m sorry… it’s all my fault!”
Luo Luo suddenly said from behind.
No one spoke. Aunt Ma stood beside her, taking her hand and holding it tightly.
Offering comfort, she conveyed that this was not the time to assign blame.
In that instant, everyone fell silent.
This included Luo Qingyu, who watched them with a smile, saying nothing.
“No… the knife is poisoned, and it’s the same poison that old Master Qi used!
I can only temporarily seal his bloodline to delay the toxin’s effects, but it won’t last long.
I fear… only Brother Chu Tian can resolve this poison!”
Lin Yu, who had been busy in the back for a long time, stood up with a look of helplessness.
“Even Master Huang can’t?” Aunt Ma turned and asked.
Lin Yu shook her head, looking at the unconscious Gao Kai with an ashen face, her heart filled with worry.
Zhao Lei and Jing Kaiyu stood on either side, fists clenched, glaring at Luo Qingyu!
If it weren’t for the explosives, they would have charged forward long ago.
“Ah…”
Suddenly, a scream.
It was Qi Xi, who had run over. As an ordinary person, she had discovered the situation the latest. By the time she came out, everyone was gone.
But the direction of the loud noise was clear, which was why she came to investigate.
Upon approaching and seeing the scene, she naturally screamed and rushed to Gao Kai’s side.
“Tell me, what are your demands?”
Luo Luo stepped forward, past Grandma Ma, and asked Luo Qingyu.
“Demands? Heh heh… my demands are very simple…
Originally, I intended for all of you to die with me. Do you know why I haven’t detonated it yet?
It’s because one person who must die hasn’t appeared yet.
However… it’s good that he isn’t appearing! If you all die, him living alone should be even more painful, right?
But I want him to make the choice, whether you all die or… he himself dies?
Where is Chu Tian? Tell him to come out quickly…”
Luo Qingyu’s words were extremely perverse.
Upon hearing this, everyone knew there was no room for negotiation!
In an instant, Luo Luo’s face also turned ashen.
She knew she had made a wrong decision. If she hadn’t come from the capital.
Perhaps, she would have been captured and used as a bargaining chip to threaten Chu Tian.
But at this moment, she had dragged everyone close to Chu Tian into danger.
Infinite regret welled up in her heart. At the same time, she had also heard from Ma Deju and the others on the way up the mountain that Chu Tian was nowhere to be found.
At this moment, she didn’t know what to do.
“My patience is limited… Chu Tian… get out here!”
Luo Qingyu’s facial expression became increasingly hysterical.
Finally, he roared!
…
As everyone was at a loss,
“Are you calling me?”
A faint voice appeared behind everyone.
Everyone’s hearts leaped with joy, and they turned to look.
They saw Chu Tian crouched on the ground, streams of green light emanating from his hands, directly infused into Gao Kai.
Immediately, black fluid flowed from Gao Kai’s wounds.
A pungent odor permeated the air.
Chu Tian calmly used several skills consecutively, completely ignoring Luo Qingyu’s distant roars.
Finally, Gao Kai’s complexion returned to normal. Although a little pale, he was no longer in danger.
“Sister Xi Xi, don’t worry, Brother Kai is fine. He’ll recover in a few days!”
As he spoke, he grasped the handle of the flying knife with one hand and, with a slight pull, extracted it.
A spurt of bright red blood splashed out. Chu Tian quickly applied the healing skill he had been brewing.
Visibly, Gao Kai’s knife wound was healing.
Luo Qingyu saw all this and curled his lips.
After shouting a few times and seeing that Chu Tian ignored him, he also became anxious. He watched Chu Tian like this.
Clearly, he had absolute confidence.
After finishing everything, Chu Tian stood up!
His gaze… landed on Luo Luo!
Luo Luo, who hadn’t shed a tear moments ago, now looked at Chu Tian.
Her eyes were misty. In two or three steps, she rushed to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian smiled and reached out, preparing to wipe her tears.
Unexpectedly, Luo Luo, who had always been shy and never proactive in front of everyone, suddenly threw herself into his arms.
“Brother… I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
This time, it was Chu Tian who was stunned.
His hands hung in the air. After a moment of hesitation, he finally closed them… Eight years of longing.
Now, having achieved his wish, he held the person in his heart.
The familiar scent, with a slightly unfamiliar feeling.
It made Chu Tian’s heart race.
However, during this moment of happiness, Luo Qingyu’s untimely voice rang out.
“Enough! Do you really take me for a ghost?”
This guy actually raised his right hand, holding a remote detonator.
