"Ah! I don't care who you are, only death awaits!"
The annihilation of the Gu worms and Er Zhu's unbelievable identity enraged Ron to no end. He roared, and spiritual light flickered at his fingertips!
Instantly, a fierce wind whipped up. With a single point of Ron's finger, the spiritual light shot out, transforming into a barrier!
Within the barrier, Ron glared at Er Zhu with a contorted face, his furious eyes seeing Er Zhu as nothing more than a corpse!
But Er Zhu remained calm, looking at Ron as if none of this concerned him.
"You cannot kill me!"
Casually appraising the enemy before him, Er Zhu slowly spoke.
Though his words were uttered with utter nonchalance, to Ron, they were a blatant display of contempt and insult!
"Hahaha, is that so? I am a cultivator on the verge of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!"
Ron smirked, and as he spoke, spiritual light began to gather at his fingertips once more.
Er Zhu's eyes flickered with a spiritual light, the corners of his mouth curling upwards into a trace of mockery.
Nascent Soul stage?
This fool's cultivation was inferior to his own. How could he possibly be on the verge of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage?
"Become my servant, and I will tell you the truth!"
Er Zhu glanced at the spot on Ron's dantian that was radiating spiritual light, and spoke slowly.
"Go to hell!"
Er Zhu's words only fueled Ron's rage. With all his might, he thrust his finger forward, and the dazzling spiritual light at his fingertip flew towards Er Zhu at high speed!
*Clang!*
The spiritual light collided with the peach wood sword, emitting a sound like metal. Ron froze, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
*Pfft!*
Just as he was preparing to gather more power, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. Staring at the blood on the ground, a hint of panic flashed in Ron's eyes.
Though he felt he was close to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, his actual strength was incredibly weak, as if he had just begun his cultivation journey!
Could it be that his senior brother had lied to him? Was there truly a truth to uncover?
Er Zhu's words kept echoing in Ron's mind, and his thoughts felt like two tiny figures constantly pulling him in opposite directions!
"Your spiritual energy in your dantian cannot circulate, which has given you the illusion of an impending breakthrough. In reality, you… haven't even begun!"
*Whoosh...*
As Er Zhu finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and a streak of light instantly flew towards Ron!
Ron had no time to react before the streak of light pierced through his body, leaving a gaping wound in his abdomen!
"Ah!"
The excruciating pain contorted Ron's already grotesque face, his bloodshot eyes filled with fury!
His senior brother had indeed deceived him! His cultivation had not advanced at all!
Yet, he had been so foolish as to believe him, and had even prided himself on wanting to kill Wang Er Zhu!
No!
That streak of light!
As Ron seethed with hatred for his senior brother, the streak of light suddenly came to mind. He no longer cared about the intense pain in his body, and looked at Er Zhu with disbelief.
How could Er Zhu have fired such a streak of light?
So, he wasn't a Gu poison master, but a cultivator!
This thought shocked Ron to his very core, his bloodshot eyes wide with astonishment and fear!
No wonder Wang Er Zhu could kill the Gu worms. He was a cultivator!
"I gave you a chance, but you chose to die!"
Seeing the shock and fear in Ron's eyes, Er Zhu knew he had guessed something. He simply uttered these words, and then walked towards the outside of the barrier.
Ron stared fixedly at Er Zhu's retreating back, a complex mix of emotions flashing through his eyes, including a trace of regret.
He had been too foolish!
He should have agreed to Er Zhu's offer. Then, he would not have had to die!
*Bang!*
Another mouthful of blood gushed out, and Ron collapsed heavily onto the ground. However, his eyes remained fixed on the direction Er Zhu had gone.
With Ron's death, the fierce wind instantly ceased, and the barrier quickly dissipated. The world fell silent…
"Where is Ron? Where is he!"
Seeing Er Zhu, Karina, who had just recovered her senses, rushed forward and interrogated him frantically.
Er Zhu remained silent, merely glancing towards where Ron had fallen. Following Er Zhu's gaze, Karina shook her head wildly in disbelief.
"Impossible, he was the strongest person I'd ever met! He was the helper I found!"
Gazing at Ron, who lay dead in a pool of blood, Karina clutched her head and roared.
Her mind had completely fractured. She had considered countless possibilities, but had never imagined this outcome!
The Carlin family had been annexed by Wang Er Zhu, and the Ron family was likely to be acquired by Wang Er Zhu as well!
If that happened, Wang Er Zhu would control twenty percent of the companies in Kanser National!
And these companies spanned all industries!
"Wang Er Zhu, I'll kill you!"
The more Karina thought about it, the angrier she became. She picked up a rock from the ground and hurled it at Er Zhu, but Er Zhu dodged it with ease.
"What are you doing?"
Just as Karina was about to throw another rock, she heard a stern shout. She was about to tell the newcomer to leave, but when she looked up, she smiled.
The patrolling police had arrived!
Ron's corpse and her own tragic plight filled Karina with excitement, her smile widening.
China was a country governed by law. Anyone who broke the law would be punished, and the richest man was no exception!
"Officers, you've arrived just in time! This man murdered my fiancé, arrest him quickly!"
Thinking this, Karina quickly dropped the stone and pointed at Ron, who lay bleeding on the ground, to lodge her complaint.
Despite her expression of anger and terror, Er Zhu still saw a flicker of cunning in her eyes.
Even now, she was making futile struggles. Utterly foolish!
Er Zhu glanced at Karina, then nodded to Lin Yi beside him, standing by as if watching a show.
"Officers, I personally witnessed him kill him! Arrest him quickly!"
"No, according to Chinese law, it's execution by firing squad, right? Then execute him quickly!"
Seeing that Lin Yi and the others remained silent, Karina urged them again. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something, pointing at the holster on Lin Yi's waist, she added.
"I didn't see Er Zhu kill him, I only saw you trying to kill Er Zhu!"
Just as Karina was about to say more, she unexpectedly heard these words. Karina wanted to explain, but for a moment, she didn't know how.
"I... didn't I already say, I personally witnessed him kill someone!"
After a while, seeing that the police were about to leave, Karina grabbed Lin Yi's arm, her tone of urgency laced with anger and impatience.
"According to Chinese law, relatives cannot testify, especially in your wealthy families!"
Lin Yi smirked, flung Karina's hand away, and glared at her fiercely before turning to leave.
Although he didn't know what had happened, he was certain this foreign woman was trying to use the police to kill someone.
He, Lin Yi, was a captain in the police force, not a fool to be manipulated!
"Arrest her!"
Unwilling to give up, Karina was about to step forward to explain further, but at this moment, Lin Yi uttered these words.
