Chapter Eighteen: The Death of Coulaine

  "Watch out!" At the moment the bullet left the barrel, Fang Kai leapt forward and knocked Kuren to the ground. "Fang, Fang Kai, who are they? Why... do you want to save Adam?" Kuren rolled over, discovering his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

  Fang Kai didn't answer, he just stood up, his eyes glaring forward: "It's you." At this time, Qiao Mu also walked over, his face immediately sinking.

  Upon seeing Fang Kai and Qiao Mu, the gunman sneered, his words laced with a chill: "Heh heh, I've actually run into old friends. Since we're old friends, I'll have to treat you well."

  Fang Kai let out a loud "hmmph", his voice rising several pitches: "Old friends? You've got the nerve to say that. What, you can't find what you're looking for in Tikal City, so you have to come all the way to this godforsaken place?" It turned out that the one who fired the shot was Sisidava, and standing next to him was Tan Heng Luo.

  The Tzeltal people have also arrived at Chichen Itza!

  Fang Kai's eyes narrowed, and the two Zergs exchanged a glance, clearly hitting the nail on the head. Tan Heng hummed, pointing his metal gun at Fang Kai, sneering: "You should have been killed earlier, it would have been better if you had listened to Diranika. Heh, you're lucky to have made it this far into the Holy City of Tikal alone and still be alive. But today is your unlucky day, hahaha..." Tan Heng's laughter was still chilling, his thumb ready to press the trigger at any moment.

  At this scene, Fang Kai's pupils suddenly shrank. The Zerg had put him in a desperate situation three or four times, and this grudge, Fang Kai must avenge.

  In an instant, both sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

  "Die." Tan Heng Luo silently mouthed the word, his thumb about to press down. Just then, Rui Wen coughed. In an instant, both sides froze, their eyes simultaneously shifting towards Rui Wen and those slaves with bewildered expressions.

  Tan Hengluo raised an eyebrow, pointing his gun at Ruiwen's head, and tilted it: "Who are you? I want to kill him, do you have any objections?" Tan Hengluo let out a cold hum, with a ferocious look. Ruiwen paused for a moment, but then smiled and said: "No, no, just that he is our benefactor who saved our lives, we can't betray him, right? What do you guys think?"

  As soon as his voice fell, countless pairs of eyes immediately shot towards Tan Heng Luo.

  Seeing this scene, Tan Heng Luo was startled and had to put away his gun. He glared at Riven fiercely and quietly asked Sstdawa beside him: "Dilanka only let us save Adamks, but didn't say what to do with the others. What should we do now?"

  What to do, what else can be done? Can't they see the Martian warriors as if they hadn't seen them before? Sisidawa coldly snorted and punched Tanheng Luo, saying in a low voice: "They are our greatest enemies, since they have fallen into our hands, let's just get rid of them once and for all. I don't believe that just because of that fat guy and that little girl, we can't do anything."

  Si Da Wa stared at Fang Kai, thinking that this kid had fallen off the cliff and hadn't died, and had even successfully infiltrated the Holy City. He was indeed not simple. If he didn't get rid of them this time either, it would inevitably bring destructive factors to the mission in the future. Rather than that, it's better to be decisive and kill him quickly?

  Anyway, both sides are sworn enemies, and if they die, so be it.

  Upon hearing this, Tan Heng suddenly gained confidence and ignored Ruiwen's "warning". He raised his gun, aimed at Fang Kai's chest, ready to shoot him.

  "Haha, I knew it, I won't die that easily. I am the son of God, I am the son of God, no one can stop me from becoming the master of Holy City, hahaahaha!" Among all the people present, Adamax was the most thrilled.

  "I thought I was a goner for sure, but now... 'Hurry up and untie me. If you kill Kuren and Riven, I'll give you two mechanical dragons, how about that?' Adamas seems to be unaware of his own situation, still acting like the arrogant young master."

  But how could the people of Zlorg be affected by this?

  "Shut up, you're dead!" Tan Heng Luo slapped Adam's neck hard, and the latter instantly fainted. Wiping his hand, Tan Heng Luo spat on Adam's clothes and laughed strangely: "Silly guy, he really thought we were his slaves. Ridiculous, doesn't even know his own weight. If it wasn't for Dilan Ka saying to spare his life, I would have killed him second." Tan Heng Luo raised his foot and stepped on Adam's chest.

  "Things are getting more and more interesting, but why did Dilan Ka want to save Adam K?" Hearing Tan Heng Luo's muttering, Fang Kai immediately furrowed his brow. He always felt that a clue was about to surface.

  "Alright, Dylankor must have had his reasons for doing this. We don't need to investigate further. Now, let's send our old friend to meet Yan Luo first." As soon as the words fell, two Tskelians holding metal guns glared at Fang Ke and Jorms with ferocious faces.

  The grand hall with a thousand pillars instantly became a powder keg ready to ignite at any moment.

  At this critical moment, Kulun gritted his teeth and rushed to the front of Fang Kai. "Bang!" The cold gunshot rang out as scheduled, blood splattered on the ground, and the dusty stone slab was stained red.

  "Kuren, why are you so stupid?!" Fang Kai roared, embracing Kuren's limp body. He could feel it, Kuren's body temperature gradually dropping, his body becoming cold and stiff. The bullet was lodged in Kuren's chest, blood flowing out of the wound in all directions.

  At this moment, the young man's eyes were surprisingly clear. Kulun's face was as white as paper, with only a hint of a relieved smile at the corner of his mouth. "Fang, Fang Kai, can you... uh, promise me one thing?" Kulun spoke in a stuttering tone, with occasional flushes rising to his cheeks, clearly a sign of afterglow.

  For the first time, Fang Kai actually felt like crying. For the first time, Fang Kai couldn't hold back, and tears fell down. He hadn't known Kulun for long, but Kulun gave him a very familiar feeling, as if they were old friends from a past life.

  "Say it, say it..." Fang Kai held Kulun's head tightly, his hands somehow covered in blood. "Take... take my body back to the lake—" The rest of the words Kulun never got a chance to say, he tilted his head and stopped breathing. "Kulun!"

  The vast hall of a thousand pillars was left with only the faint cries of Fang Kai's voice.

  Jormungand silently watched all of this, patted Fang Ke's shoulder, didn't say a word, and only reached out his hand to cover Kulun's corpse's eyes. Only then could Kulun rest in peace.

  Riven was not far away, Coulter died, he witnessed it. If Riven still had relatives in this world the previous moment, then from this moment on, he became a complete "orphan". His wife had long been ill and died, his daughter was mistakenly killed by Adam five years ago, and even his son-in-law sacrificed at this time.

  In an instant, Ruiwen aged a lot, his face withered. What is heartbreak? Ruiwen didn't know. It was as if his heart had been blocked by something, making it so suffocating and unbearable. The world was vast, but there were no more loved ones left. Even if he kept the position of Alliance Master, what would be the point?

  From then on, Fang Kai did not lift his head. He quietly put down Kulun's icy body, and tears "dripped" onto the ground, moistening the dust.

  Suddenly, Fang Kai lifted his head, and his eyes were ferocious beyond recognition. His eyes were bloodshot, his face twitching, a complete beastly appearance.

  "Why?!" Fang Kai bit his lower lip, with some blood oozing out. "Why?!" The same roar burst out of Fang Kai's mouth again and again, the sound piercing through the membrane, through the clouds, echoing throughout the sky.

  Looking at the cruel Sis Dava, he didn't show any guilt. He even blew his gun mouth with a sense of pride and said coldly: "There's no why, this world has always been the winner is king. Don't worry, the next one will be your good friend. Hehe, I want you to watch them die one by one in front of you."

  Stiva lowered his gun and took aim at Chums again.

  "Devil, you're a devil! Don't----!!!" Fang Kai's words were cut off by the sound of "bang", as the metal gun fired out another bullet of sin.

  This time, however, Sisuda did not get away with it.

  In the instant that the bullet left the barrel, a laser beam shot out of thin air and struck the bullet just as it was about to enter Chom's chest, deflecting it. The bullet veered off course and lodged itself in a stone pillar.

  "Damn, who's ruining my good thing?" Sisidava snorted coldly and looked around, but found no suspicious signs. Seeing this, Sisidava smiled again and fired another wave of bullets at Jormungandr. Once again, the bullets were deflected by a laser beam. "Alright, dare to play tricks on me? Hehe, if you don't show up, believe it or not, I'll use a cannon to blast them to death?" Sisidava sneered and prepared to take out his cannon.

  At this moment, two more figures appeared on the scene.

  "Haha, I knew it was you guys. Well, since we're all together now, let's just go to hell together and save us the trouble of searching everywhere." Sisidava Nununu sneered, Tan Hengrui understood his intention and also took out another cannon. The two cannons aimed at the four people, seemingly intent on killing them off.

  It turned out that the two figures were Pang Dong and Ruò Zǐ.

  As soon as Ruò Zǐ fell to the ground, she hugged Fāng Kǎi tightly, and crystal tears "pattered" down: "I'm sorry, Kǎi-zi, I was useless, I came too late. Sorry......" Ruò Zǐ held Fāng Kǎi tightly in her warm arms, but Fāng Kǎi seemed to be stunned, with no reaction at all, his eyes blankly staring at the cold body of Kù Lún on the ground.

  If they had arrived a moment earlier, would Kuron have to sacrifice himself? Just...if. In this life, how many ifs are there? Some things are destined to happen, and you can't stop them no matter what. In the grand scheme of things, everything has its own destiny, can human power change it?

  "Kuren, take care on your way." Fang Kai raised his eyes and the sky was surprisingly azure. He seemed to see Kuren's relieved smile.

  When you forgive yourself, hatred also loses its meaning.
