Chapter Fifteen: The Bridge of No Return

  I dare to confront Huang Shi Bo like this because of the poison. Huang Shi Bo's current physical strength is absolutely not as good as his normal period, and it is precisely because of this that I dare to confront him.

  "Only then can we have a good talk about cooperation." I glanced at Kong Yi and Zhao Feiyu, they had also settled their matters. As for Dong Qizi, it was probably Mu Zhenghang's help.

  "You're quite bold, daring to bring four people here?" I said with confidence.

  Huang Shi Bo's mouth corner also revealed a hint of a smile, then said: Do you really think I only brought four people?

  Upon hearing Huang Shi Bo's words, Dong Qing Zi also immediately shouted loudly: I can feel it, there are ghosts around us!

  I didn't make any moves, but I was very confident in my heart that Huang Shi Bo and I could cooperate. I can feel the ghosts around me approaching, Zhao Fei Yu's duster is already in hand, no need for me to say more, just ran to my side and became a bodyguard for me.

  "Let me put it this way, I don't have enough time to waste here. The people lying on the ground can be considered my pawns. Although they can become my sacrifices, it's far from enough. As for the place where the husband and wife were born, I'm afraid no one else can enter and come out alive except me? Husband and wife, you're just below this level, now you have two choices. Either cooperate with me, and I'll consider giving you an antidote. If you don't want to, I'll take your life right now." I said with a light smile, looking at Huang Shi Bo.

  Huang Shi Bo looked at me and smiled lightly: "A careless person, a careless person. Your mind is clearly so deep, how could you possibly be a careless person?"

  I sneered and said indifferently to Huang Shi Bo: Of course, you can also call me a living dead man. What's the difference between being alive now and being dead? Right, Uncle Huang?

  Huang Shibo raised his hand, and for a moment, all the ghosts dispersed in all directions. Zhao Feiyu also relaxed his vigilance, put away the dustpan, and waited for my next plan.

  Mu Rong Xing nodded in satisfaction and walked to the front of the bronze gate. Kong Yi also followed, helping Mu Rong Xing push open the bronze gate. I made a "please" gesture towards Huang Shi Bu, who patted off the dust on his body and strolled in with ease.

  Dong Qiz is the last one to enter, I really don't understand why I still need to bring her along. You can say she's a burden, but her spiritual awareness is very strong. However, if you want her to fight, she's completely useless.

  Inside the bronze gate, there were countless steps. The few of us still stood in a line, walking down. Huang Shi Bo's backpack was very cold, and it didn't take much to guess what was inside.

  Mu Rong led the way as usual, and as they went further down, the temperature dropped lower. Everyone else was wrapped tightly in their clothes, but my energy seemed to be more vigorous. I felt a bit disgusted with this feeling, just like someone who had been away from home for many years finally returned home.

  The silence along the way made all of us feel strange. When we walked down the stairs safely, even Mu Zhongxing's expression was a bit unsightly. I took out a small bottle from my pocket and applied some medicine to Huang Shibo's wound.

  "That's not right." Mu Rong said in a low voice.

  I knew what Mou Rong Xing meant by "not right", I nodded and continued: It's been too quiet on this road.

  Kong Yiji turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, looked around cautiously, as if he had thought of something, and asked seriously: "How is Zhao Kuo's military ability? Could it be that he has gathered all his troops together, waiting for us to fall into his trap?"

  Kong Yee's words made sense, we only have a few people, if we want to break through one by one, it would be too troublesome. The best way is to gather all our strength together.

  Huang Shibo also found it strange, he took out a tortoiseshell from his bag, put in several copper coins, and then Huang Shibo sat on the ground to start divination.

  We are all out of action and waiting for Huang Shibo's outcome.

  After all the copper coins had fallen out, Huang Shibo began to carefully study the divination symbols. We all waited quietly for the result, and Huang Shibo shook his head, saying in a low voice: "There is change!"

  "Could you be more specific?" I looked at Huang Shi-bo and asked seriously.

  Huang Shi Bo smiled and said calmly, "If I can calculate all these things, then the phrase 'heavenly secrets cannot be revealed' will still have a use, won't it?"

  I understood Huang Shibo's reluctance to continue calculating and didn't say much more, just looked at Mu Rong Xing and let him make the decision.

  "Let's keep going." Mu Rou packed up her backpack and continued to head deeper. "We're almost at the point of no return, you'd all better be mentally prepared. Who can make it through alive, I won't say for sure."

  The Road of No Return can also be called the Bridge of No Return. It is indeed a bridge, but this bridge is somewhat different. Once you go up, there's no turning back. If you can pass the test, you can safely reach the other side; if you fail, all that awaits you is death.

  I don't know what the so-called test of the Bridge of No Return is, but I can feel that thing is absolutely not simple. When I walked to the Bridge of No Return, that ordinary wooden bridge surprised me a little.

  Mu Rong looked at us and said lightly: I'll wait for you over there.

  After finishing speaking, Mu Rong Xing went up onto the bridge.

  I saw Mu Rong Xing walking forward all the time, but when he reached the middle of the bridge, he stopped his footsteps very obviously. I don't know the reason, but this pause was very short, and about a minute later, Mu Rong Xing continued to walk forward. When he arrived at the other side, he even waved at us.

  Huang Shi Bo smiled lightly and followed onto the bridge. His situation was very similar to Mu Zong Xian's, only briefly pausing before being able to continue forward. Kong Yi and Zhao Fei Yu were also the same.

  Dong Qizai crossed the bridge and looked back at me with a frightened expression. I just said one sentence to her, "It's okay."

  Against our expectations, Dong Qizai didn't stop at all along the way!

  None of us understand what this is all about.

  The last one is me.

  I took a deep breath and stepped onto the bridge. As soon as I took my first step, I felt like I was enveloped in hatred. I moved forward subconsciously, but every step was extremely difficult. The exit was right in front of me, yet no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move.

  The exit in front of me gradually disappeared, replaced by a pitch blackness in front of me. I was so scared that I stopped my footsteps and subconsciously put my hand on the meteorite at my waist.

  Just then, I heard a rush of footsteps. The footsteps were very urgent, as if they were avoiding something. Soon, I could see things again, but the person in front of me... was myself...

  I saw my face filled with terror, running away without looking back. This scene is too familiar to me, I can say that I will never forget it! When Mu Rong appeared in front of me, I saw the determination on his face.

  Mujin began to chant, and my body felt as if it had been immobilized, unable to move. I could see the desperation in my own eyes. That expression... was truly unfamiliar.

  "Dad... don't..." I heard myself almost begging in a pitiful voice, and at that time, I was truly too pathetic.

  "Kobayashi, don't blame me!"

  "Dad! Ah!"

  I saw Mu Rong's hand reach into my back! He seemed to be grasping something! I could even feel the pain! The heart-wrenching pain! How long has it been since I last felt this kind of pain?!

  "Mu Rong Xing!" The more I looked, the angrier I became! I drew out my Meteor Iron Sword and slashed at Mu Rong Xing!

  When the meteor flashed by, all of this vanished into thin air!

  "Are you very cruel to him?" This voice seemed to be Zhao Kuo's, and... he seemed to be very close to me.

  I'm very angry with him, I hate everything he's done to me!

  "Then kill him... " Zhao Kuang's voice sounded again, as if provoking me.

  I held the meteorite's hand and it slightly trembled, I suppressed my anger and continued forward step by step.

  At that time, there were only five words left in my mind: "Kill Mu Rong Xing".

  "Kobayashi!" I heard someone calling me again, and I could tell whose voice it was.

  "Kobayashi! Don't move!" Zhao Feiyu's voice was urgent, but I didn't know why he was in such a hurry. The person I wanted to kill was Mu Zhongxing, not him, so why was he so anxious.

  "Kobayashi! Calm down! Kobayashi! Think about Feiyu, think about me! Don't do anything stupid, Kobayashi!" Kuu's voice was extremely urgent.

  Mu Rong is right in front of me, just one more step forward and I can kill him.

  When this idea emerged in my mind, I didn't care about those voices anymore! Now I just want to kill my enemy! That is Mu Rong Xue in front of me!

  "Murderer! Aren't you trying to kill me?! I'm right here now! Come and kill me quickly!"

  The sound of Mu Rong's voice?

  I'm a bit puzzled, Mu Rong Xing is clearly standing in front of me, but the source of the sound isn't from in front of me, it seems to be...from a very distant place.

  "Mu Lin, you stinky little brat, listen up! You'd better not die before taking me with you! I, Mu Rong, don't need a useless son like you! What's the point of having you around? Killing one person and still no progress after so long! What's the use of having you here?! Just take another step forward! Don't even think about killing me! Even if you want to see me again, it'll be a difficult task! Get out! Get out!"

  What Mu Rong said might be true, but I sensed a different meaning behind his words. Taking another step forward and seeing him again would be a problem...

  I seem to be... on the Bridge of No Return?

  I suddenly woke up! When I came back to myself, I found that I was already standing at the edge of the Bridge of No Return, in front of me was an abyss of thousands of feet deep!

  I pulled back my foot and returned to the bridge surface. I looked towards the exit, and they were watching me with extreme concern.

  Is Mu Rong Xian... saved me?
