Phoenix Destiny

Chapter 310: Long Time No See

“Ahhhh~~~~!” the Drug Lord screamed while hugging onto his head.

The people that he was seeing now weren’t Lu Mingshu or Xie Lianzhen. The faces that were now appearing in front of him were those he never wanted to see again but who never stopped appearing in his nightmares.

“Sorry, but you haven’t been selected.”

“Chance? You can’t even make the simplest Mingxi Pellet, so why should we give you another chance?”

“Just go back and light your fire.”

“Just go, we have already found a new assistant.”

The Drug Lord saw himself kneeling on the floor, begging persistently, but the other party remained unmoved.

“You’re already so old, we can’t let you be an assistant anymore.”

“There are so many shops that will hire you after you leave, so just go.”

“Enough! Do you think the school is a charity?! Get out of here!”

“Why am I supposed to accept my fate? Why am I not talented?! The heavens are unfair! Unfair!” the Drug Lord screamed, mystic light surrounding all parts of his body.

Lu Mingshu nudged Xie Lianzhen worriedly and whispered, “He’s already emotionally unstable, why did you provoke him even more?”

“That’s exactly why we should,” Xie Lianzhen replied softly. “Being emotionally unstable will cause the drugs in him to be unstable as well, and they will process into his body faster. This is to let him be poisoned at a faster speed.”

“…” Lu Mingshu wasn’t someone inflexible. Who wouldn’t do anything to win? It was normal.

But seeing the Drug Lord in this state, she felt a tinge of pain in her heart.

It was cruel that everyone was born different, resulting in unfair starting points. Some were even farther than most, making it hard for them to shine and succeed. It wasn’t because they were lazy or that they didn’t try hard enough, but they just couldn’t achieve what others could despite their effort.

Most would just accept their fate and change their route to one that was suitable for them, while on the other hand, some would end up like the Drug Lord, going astray and doing anything just to achieve what they wanted.

However, Lu Mingshu wouldn’t pity the Drug Lord. Striving hard for something you wanted was fine, but not the way he did it. Torturing humans, causing their bodies to be damaged permanently or even causing them to die. If the heavens were considered as being unfair to him, what about the drug men he had tormented?

“Ahhhh~~~~!” Unable to withstand the provocation, the drugs in his body started to explode once again, and the Drug Lord went insane. He rushed up like a beast and reached out to them, wanting to strangle them.

“Our chance!” Xie Lianzhen muttered under his breath. He stepped forward, sparks flying everywhere. The sparks dispersed before combining.

At the same time, Lu Mingshu dashed forward too. The ring on her hand shone brightly, fusing with her sword light. Hiss! The sword light was now dashing for the Drug Lord.

The sword energy was everywhere, causing the cave to shake violently, fragments and stones everywhere.

The fight here was something that the other drug men were unable to intervene in. They were thrown out at the start, and even Number Two, who was in the best state among the five, dared not interfere.

Cough! The uncle looked up with watery eyes, choking on the dust. “Can they do it?”

“If they can’t, we can’t either,” the grandma said hoarsely. “We have looked down on them. Having such an ability while being in the Harmonization Realm is uncommon.”

“Indeed! We can only hope that they can get rid of the Drug Lord now.”

The five of them looked at each other nervously. After such a long time, they finally had a chance to escape.

Thud! Lu Mingshu was slammed against the wall, and she dropped to the ground.

The violent fall put her into a giddy state.

Cough! She coughed out blood, indicating that she did not have much mystic force left and had an internal injury.

No matter how much ability they have or don’t have, a Spirit Realm is indeed a Spirit Realm.

“Go to hell you, you, and you!” the Drug Lord screamed while attacking Xie Lianzhen nonstop.

His situation was not better than Lu Mingshu’s. Since he made many ugly comments about the Drug Lord, the Drug Lord would hate Xie Lianzhen in particular. Xie Lianzhen had no choice but to employ all his tricks. However, no matter how many tricks he had, they did nothing.

Seeing that Xie Lianzhen was finding it harder to resist, Lu Mingshu dashed up immediately once she was feeling a bit better.

The sword turned into a dragon, slowly following after a whistle.

With all the energy she had left, she could only do one more physical manifestation of Sword Intent, at the price of draining all her mystic force. However, she had no choice. If she didn’t, Xie Lianzhen would lose his life.

“Ah!” The sword energy broke the Drug Lord’s protection, leaving a crack behind.

She then swiftly used the Transformation of Bones’ technique and unleashed a punch, forcing the Drug Lord to back up.

This caused the Drug Lord to rage and send back numerous attacks.

Lu Mingshu fell once again, slamming hard to the floor.

“Mingshu!” Xie Lianzhen yelled and dashed toward her.

If this was not an emergency, Lu Mingshu would already be laughing on the floor. She was almost half dead, and Xie Lianzhen wasn’t much better. Who would have thought that we, who always win, would be in this state? Life is really…. It’s dangerous right now, yet I’m thinking about this?

“He has used up all his mystic force.” She wiped away the blood at her mouth and looked at Xie Lianzhen. “Use any more tricks you have left, and we will win.”

That’s what the data showed, but…

Xie Lianzhen smiled bitterly. If he was still in his wheelchair, he would still have some mechanisms in his wheelchair, however…

I was too impetuous. I left all of a sudden when I haven’t even adapted to having legs, that’s why I…

“Oh no!” Lu Mingshu shouted and pushed Xie Lianzhen away forcefully.

Xie Lianzhen looked up. The first thing he saw was that the Drug Lord had raised up the cauldron, wanting to smash it onto Lu Mingshu.

In a flash, his mind was fully blank.

She’s seriously injured, and she might not be able to take this attack.

I need to save her right now.

But I have no more tricks left, how can I save her?

Wait, I remember I still have something.

What is it? What on earth is it?

Lu Mingshu had already fully prepared herself for the last fight. Her punch and the poison in the Drug Lord had left him with not much mystic force, which meant that she still had a chance to survive.

She grabbed her sword lightly, and the sword light was now all over the place.

Ding~~~~!

The sword light rebounded once it touched the cauldron.

Oh no.

Just at this time, a sharp hissing could be heard, and a pearly white blade could be seen in front of her, reflecting colorful lights. The scene was breathtaking.

The light was like snow, slowly landing on the ground, as a figure jumped up high before slashing down.

Szz!

The cauldron fell to the floor, leaving the Drug Lord staring at the person in front of him with wide eyes.

He still looked like Xie Lianzhen, but his expression and aura were totally different.

He was now standing upright, looking at the Drug Lord in disdain. He looked arrogant and bad, unlike the gentlemanly Xie Lianzhen.

Even though he still looked and was dressed like Xie Lianzhen, anyone who saw this would know that he was no longer Xie Lianzhen.

He turned around to Lu Mingshu and smiled. “Long time no see.”

“Brother… Yan,” Lu Mingshu said after pondering.

Yeah, no matter how he looked or what kind of different clothes he wore, she would still be able to recognize him.

Yan Wugui!
