Bab 463: Chapter 463: Heading North
...
How could this be?
Zeng Yi widened his eyes, wearing an expression of disbelief on his face.
The person in front of him, filled with madness, ferocity, and bloodlust, like a demon, was actually himself?
What exactly happened?
As Zeng Yi looked at his other self, unfamiliar memories flooded his mind.
In those memories, he was the one resembling a demon from hell, crazy, violent, only knowing slaughter and destruction, like a beast devoid of reason. Not only that, he possessed a terrifying power!
In those fragmented memories, even the Spirit Masters with eight spirit rings were easily massacred by his crazed self, as if crushing an ant.
Even the Titled Douluos, representing the highest realm of Spirit Masters in Douluo Continent, were slain by his hand.
Back then, the formidable Titled Douluo, who commanded the highest combat power in the Spirit Master world, was slain by him?
Wasn't the reason for his continuous growth, his ultimate goal, exactly this?
If he had the strength of a Titled Douluo, if he had the power to threaten the lives of Titled Douluos, then wouldn't he be able to do as he pleased in this world?
How could someone else control his fate?
However, now that he had such power, he felt empty.
This wasn't the power he desired!
Moreover, the price to obtain this power was that he had become someone else.
In those blood-filled memories, Zeng Yi not only saw himself killing those evil Spirit Masters, but also encountering Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong who he hadn't seen in five years.
He had injured Zhu Zhuqing and even wanted to kill Ning Rongrong.
How could this be?
Zeng Yi cried out in agony, clutching his throbbing head with both hands, his face becoming ferocious.
At that moment, ferocity, bloodlust, madness, despair, hatred, and all sorts of negative emotions surged in his mind, nearly causing his sanity to collapse.
Damned bastard, why didn't you appear to help me solve the problem? System, are you just here to watch the show?
Just before he was about to collapse, Zeng Yi couldn't help but curse that heartless system in his mind.
He was becoming someone he wasn't before, being swallowed by darkness, becoming a merciless killing machine.
The horrifying sword aura stormed away, everything dispersing into nothingness, leaving only a scene of devastation and ruin.
At this moment, the winds stopped, the snow ceased, and in the air, there was only endless sadness and pain.
Ning Rongrong knelt on the ground, embracing the unconscious Zhu Zhuqing, her expression vacant. Tear-filled eyes foolishly stared ahead at the seemingly insurmountable rift. It extended like a gorge, heading forward until its end.
She remained in that position, not knowing how long had passed.
A long while later, Zhu Zhuqing moved in Ning Rongrong's embrace.
She slowly opened her eyes, realizing that she was lying in Ning Rongrong's arms, feeling her weak body. A sharp pain emanated from her abdomen, contorting her cheeks in agony.
Right, Zeng Yi!
As if numbed by the pain, Zhu Zhuqing struggled to pry herself from Ning Rongrong's embrace and weakly stood up.
"What about him?"
Ning Rongrong didn't respond, sitting there in a daze, tears dried up.
Seeing her like this, Zhu Zhuqing felt that something was wrong.
Zeng Yi must have encountered something!
Otherwise, when she was unconscious, the two of them would have died at Zeng Yi's hands. How could they still be alive?
"What happened?" Zhu Zhuqing endured her physical discomfort, tightly gripping Ning Rongrong's shoulders, anxiously asking.
With empty eyes, Ning Rongrong slowly raised her head, her dull gaze fixating on Zhu Zhuqing's pale face. Tears welled up again, streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry."
Ning Rongrong suddenly lost control of her emotions, tightly hugging Zhu Zhuqing, her tears drenching their clothes, repeatedly uttering these words.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Zhu Zhuqing was bewildered. It seemed like she realized something.
Could it be... Zeng Yi?
"How is this possible!"
She couldn't accept this outcome. Zeng Yi was so powerful, capable of killing even Titled Douluos. How could someone be able to kill him?
There were only the three of them present: herself, Ning Rongrong, and Zeng Yi.
Apart from herself, was it possible that Rongrong had the ability to kill Zeng Yi?
That was a joke!
Zhu Zhuqing broke free from Ning Rongrong's embrace, her eyes filled with an expression of disbelief as she looked at the crying girl. She shook her head repeatedly, unable to believe it.
She turned her gaze, standing by the terrifying rift. The shattered ground crack resembled a canyon emitting a terrifying aura of the sword, its sharpness chilling to the bone.
From this, it could be seen how terrifying that previous attack was.
This terrifying sword air was enough to split a city in half!
Zhu Zhuqing lifted her gaze, looking towards the end of the rift.
She gritted her teeth, suppressing the intense feeling of weakness, and took a step forward, rushing towards the end of the rift.
Ning Rongrong also stood up, following closely behind.
Soon, the two of them arrived together.
They saw a figure lying in a pool of blood on the shattered ground.
It was Zeng Yi.
"Zeng Yi!"
Zhu Zhuqing anxiously called out his name, quickly reaching his side and lifting him up.
Seeing Zeng Yi's miserable appearance, her heart couldn't help but ache, revealing a sense of sadness.
This broken and battered body seemed devoid of any signs of life, as if all vitality was about to be extinguished.
"Rongrong, save him quickly." Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes and looked at Ning Rongrong who was at the side, pleading desperately despite her own discomfort.
She wasn't a Auxilary Spirit Master and couldn't save her beloved person, but Ning Rongrong, as a Auxilary Spirit Master, must have a way!
As Zhu Zhuqing, in her anxious state, forgot momentarily that Ning Rongrong didn't possess any healing spirit skills.
"Save him, please."
Faced with Zhu Zhuqing's plea, Ning Rongrong didn't respond, her colorless eyes losing their focus as she stared at Zeng Yi's wretched appearance.
All of this was of her own choosing.
How could she save him? Even if she used restorative medicines, it would be difficult to heal Zeng Yi's injuries.
Even if she revived him, then what? Must she be killed by him along with Zhu Zhuqing?
Ning Rongrong walked over absentmindedly, finally kneeling beside Zeng Yi, bowing her head.
"I'm sorry, I can't save him." She uttered those words in utter despair.
"I'm sorry."
"How could this be?" Hearing Ning Rongrong's response, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes displayed a sense of despair.
She turned her gaze, fixing it on Zeng Yi's body, but immediately noticed that something was wrong.
She saw Zeng Yi's torn skin, his disfigured flesh, rapidly healing at an astonishing speed.
That fading vitality began to revive.
"Zeng Yi is still alive!"
Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed with excitement, even Ning Rongrong raising her head abruptly, looking at the unconscious Zeng Yi.
Great joy surged in their hearts, but they forgot, was the revived Zeng Yi still himself?
Suddenly, Zeng Yi opened his eyes, blood-red irises filling his vision.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
A formidable spirit power erupted, and the two unsuspecting women were blown away by the force.
At the moment they landed, they looked up, only to see two points of crimson flames flickering before them.
It was Zeng Yi! He was still in a state of madness.
He grinned, with a bloodthirst in his eyes, extending his claws and tightly grabbing both women by their delicate and slender necks.
"Cough, cough."
The strength of his grip, the terrifying suffocation, rendered Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong unable to speak, feeling as if their necks were about to break at any moment.
They tightly grasped Zeng Yi's wrists with both hands, tears streaming down their eyes, looking at him with sadness and mercy, without an ounce of fear, even in the face of their impending demise.
Looking into their eyes, Zeng Yi's expression momentarily turned blank.
What am I doing?
He remembered who he was, a flash of clarity crossed his eyes, and he immediately released his grip, stepping back.
"Cough, cough, cough."
As the sense of suffocation vanished, the two women coughed violently a few times, then took frantic breaths of air.
They stood up and locked eyes, seeing the joy in each other's gazes.
Zeng Yi didn't kill them! Didn't that mean he recognized them and was recovering his senses?
"Zeng Yi! How are you?"
As they looked at Zeng Yi standing apart, clutching his head in agony, they couldn't help but ask worriedly.
In his disheveled state, Zeng Yi's torn flesh and skin, wounds burst into revival, healing at a rapid pace.
The extinguished signs of life began to stir once again.
"Zeng Yi! How are you?"
The two women saw Zeng Yi standing there, tightly clutching his head in pain, his eyes shifting between clouded and clear. He wanted to reclaim his thoughts and not be controlled by his desires, remaining a beast.
"Don't come near me!"
"Get away!"
"Far away!"
Upon witnessing Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong attempting to approach, Zeng Yi immediately shouted.
Due to the influence of negative emotions, even his temper became violent.
A terrifying energy storm erupted, centered around him and spreading in all directions.
The powerful gusts sent the two of them flying far away.
Zeng Yi knew that he wouldn't remain conscious for long, soon succumbing to this evil.
If that were to happen, his irrational self would kill Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong! Not only that, whenever there was life in front of him, he wouldn't be able to suppress his bloodlust, destroying everything in his path.
If it were in a crowded place, in the city, he couldn't imagine the kind of disaster it would be!
By that time, even if he regained his sanity, he wouldn't be able to return to the way he was.
During the fleeting moments of clarity, Zeng Yi unleashed his spirit power and soared into the sky.
On the devastated ground, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong remained. They looked up at the pitch-black demonic winds heading toward the north, growing further and further away from themselves.
