Chapter 40: Fate
His speed was so fast that he came to me almost in the blink of an eye, and a pair of hands were even more carriers of wind and thunder, grabbing at my chest fiercely.
I froze in place, my eyes wide with horror on my face, trying to dodge, but it was too late.
However, just when I was terrified and thought that I was going to die, I suddenly saw a sharp knife stab out of my shoulder, and stabbed fiercely into the palm of the ancestor that was grabbing me.
The tip of the knife stabbed out suddenly, and the speed of this ancestor was too fast, just in an instant, I heard the sound of piercing flesh and bones, and the hot blood splashed my face. Then he heard the old ancestor let out a painful wail, covered his palms and quickly retreated.
"Zheng Ke?" I was overjoyed, and when I turned my head to look, I saw that it was Zheng Ke who stabbed this knife.
However, at this time he looked very weak, and the whole person seemed to be not very conscious, and after the stabbing was made, he lay on my shoulder again, and said to me in a weak voice: "Go away, I can't stop him!" ”
At this time, I heard the eighteenth master let out a roar, and then said in a tone of disbelief: "This is ...... This is the Chiyan Knife, one of the two divine weapons of the Zheng family? The eighteenth master covered his palms and stood in the distance with a hideous roar, but those eyes were staring at the bone knife in Zheng Ke's hand.
"This bone knife has always been held by the person with the strongest combat power in my Zheng family, how can it be in your hands now?" The Eighteenth Master glared and said loudly: "Your bloodline is not the best in my Zheng family, why can you hold this divine weapon?" Who gave it to you? ”
"My dad!" Zheng Ke weakly spit out two words, but the eighteenth master frowned and asked, "Who is your father?" ”
"Zheng Chuanshen!"
When the eighteenth master heard Zheng Ke say these three words, he was obviously shocked, and then grinned: "It turned out to be a child who conveyed the gods, no wonder, no wonder." As the fourth-generation descendant of the Zheng family, Chuanshen has a combat power that surpasses that of us old guys, so the old ancestor will give Chiyan to him. And he is on the mission of my Zheng family, and he often goes in and out of very dangerous places when he walks outside, but he didn't carry Chiyan with him, but handed it over to you? What about Zheng Chuanshen, is he dead? ”
"I don't know!" Zheng Ke said: "I haven't seen him for more than ten years, but my father told me when he left that this knife is destined to be stained with the blood of his own family, and if any clan covets my brother, let me kill him with this knife!" ”
The Eighteenth Master was stunned when he heard this, his eyes were staring at the bone knife, and his eyes were full of jealousy, but after a while, he laughed loudly and said: "The knife is a good knife, even with the blood of my Zheng family, it is difficult to resist the power of Chiyan." However, just by you, can you urge Chiyan? Don't say that you are seriously injured and dying now, even if you are not injured, you must not be able to urge it! ”
"Then you can try!" Zheng Ke, who was extremely weak just now, struggled to stand on the ground at this moment.
Seeing that he was holding a bone knife in his hand, the whole person was like a sharp blade out of the sheath, standing straight in place, and when he saw me looking at him in shock, he whispered to me, "You go first, I will drag him." ”
"But your body ......"
Before I finished my sentence, I was interrupted by Zheng Ke shaking his head, and I saw that he said with a gloomy face: "Brother, our Zheng family has been destined from the moment we were born, you are the best bloodline of my Zheng family, so your fate is destined that you will not die here." And my destiny is to guard you as your shadow, and eventually, I will die for you. ”
After hearing Zheng Ke's words, I froze.
Since birth, the fate of each member of our Zheng family has been predestined?
And Zheng Ke's fate turned out to be to guard me as my shadow, and in the end, die for me?
If this is really Zheng Ke's fate, then what is my fate?
At this time, I heard the eighteenth prince let out a cruel laugh, and then said: "Hehe, I thought that by devouring this kid's essence and blood, I could improve my bloodline again, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain." If I get Chiyan, then let alone the Zheng family, how many people in this world can be my opponents? I'm Zheng Eighteen, I can't go anywhere! ”
As his words fell, I saw that his temperament changed, and a powerful coercion directly permeated from his body.
Then, I saw that his figure flashed, and the whole person seemed to be out of the cage of a tiger, and quickly attacked Zheng Ke with a fierce aura.
The speed of the eighteenth master is so fast that my eyes can't even catch his figure.
"Zheng Ke!" I let out an exclamation, and then I saw the eighteenth master's palm slapping Zheng Ke's chest fiercely.
I heard a crisp sound of 'click', but Zheng Ke's chest was slapped and collapsed, and his whole person flew out directly upside down like a kite with a broken string.
However, at the moment when he flew out upside down, the bone knife in his hand instantly turned red, and the blood-red flames instantly covered the blade of the bone knife, and then, he saw Zheng Ke's fierce bone knife and slashed towards the eighteenth master.
In an instant, the blood light almost swept the entire corridor, and the figure of the Eighteenth Master was instantly engulfed by the flames. Even standing in the distance, I was swept away by the firelight, and I only felt the heat wave hit my face, and then the whole person was blown away.
I was thrown out more than ten meters away, and after landing on the ground, I hurriedly got up, and when I looked up, I saw that the corridor was in a mess, with scorched marks everywhere, and the stone walls in some places were burned into a liquid like magma by blood-colored flames.
After seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel numb in my scalp, my God, even the stones have been melted, how high a temperature can this be?
And under the shroud of such a high temperature, the eighteenth master must have died, right?
Zheng Ke was lying not far from me, I hurriedly got up and rushed over, and saw that his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his chest, which originally had a bloody hole, had all collapsed into it at this moment, and the heart that was still beating weakly seemed to have stopped beating at this moment!
"Zheng Ke!" I was shocked when I saw this, and picked up Zheng Ke, but no matter how I called him, he didn't respond, as if he was dead.
My eyes widened in disbelief.
How could this be, Zheng Ke really died for me?
Although Zheng Ke and I have only known each other for a short time, both of us have the blood of the Zheng family flowing in our bodies, as the so-called blood is thicker than water, especially when he still died for me, for a while my face was like ashes, and my heart was like death.
I clenched my fists tightly, gritted my teeth, and tried not to cry, but the tears kept dripping down the corners of my eyes like raindrops.
"I remember this knife!"
Suddenly, a weak voice sounded behind me, and I turned my head suddenly, and then I saw that the eighteenth master was actually struggling to stand up from the corner.
At this moment, he was so embarrassed that half of his face was scorched, and after giving me a vicious look, he turned and quickly escaped into the darkness.
My eyes widened at this.
None of this is dead?
The power of that knife was too strong, and even the stone walls were melted into liquid by the blood-colored flames that permeated the bone knife, and he was only burned?
How strong is this physique and vitality to survive?
"Hey!"
Suddenly, a sigh sounded from the darkness, and then, I heard a footstep sound from far to near, I was shocked, and when I looked up, I saw that the thirteenth master had actually walked out of the darkness.
"Thirteen masters, he ......"
"I know it all!" The Thirteenth Master nodded, then picked up Zheng Ke and said, "Zheng Yi, I have arrived a long time ago, but do you know why I didn't save you?" ”
"Why?" I was stunned.
The thirteenth master has already arrived?
And he, he actually watched Zheng Ke die?
"Because I want you to know that if you can't become stronger, then many people around you, including me, will die because of you." He hugged Zheng Ke and walked towards the darkness, and said, "Do you think that the strongest bloodline of the Zheng family is just talking? When others say you're the strongest, you're the strongest? Since he is the strongest, then, take out some strength to prove himself, always hiding behind others, what kind of man is he? I, a boy of the Zheng family, will never hide behind others and be a turtle with a shrunken head! ”
After hearing the words of the Thirteenth Master, I was shocked, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.
