A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 538 - Chapter 538 Chapter 399 No Way Out_1

Chapter 538: Chapter 399 No Way Out_1 Chapter 538: Chapter 399 No Way Out_1 “How should I put it… Every family has its own struggles, but the problems in Zhi Jingxiang’s family are particularly difficult.”

Duanmu Huai, sitting outside the barrier, watched the uncompromising battle between Zhi Jingxiang and Najiji, and yawned.

“I still don’t quite understand, Master.”

It seemed, even at this point, Ogis still hadn’t untangled the relationship between Zhi Jingxiang and Najiji.

“Are they like sisters, like Gavi and me?”

Oh, speaking of which, there is still a sickly sweet puppet like Gavi sealed in my hand.

“Sort of.”

Duanmu Huai watched Najiji’s frenzy and sighed helplessly. In a way, Najiji and Gavi were much alike. Their tragedy was that their biological father didn’t really want them. The creator of Gavi wanted to make a puppet like Ogis; but Gavi, who was crafted on the same mold, ended up completely different from Ogis. Hence, the latter fell into despair.

Najiji isn’t any better. Although they only had a brief conversation, it was clear that her father never held her dear. He loved his wife, whom he stole, more than his daughter…

Well, what can I say… It’s all self-inflicted.

So you see, extreme love ultimately calls forth chaos and destruction. Looking closer, Najiji’s father deeply loved Zhi Jingxiang’s mother, to the extent of even killing his previous wife. Even after her death, he remained fixated on loving her and her only, which can be called a benchmark for passion.

But this kind of passion… no ordinary person would want it.

Fanatical believers… they’re beyond redemption.

So you see, anything carried to the extreme will only result in tragedy and destruction.

Like now.

Speaking of which… Zhi Jingxiang can’t handle this.

Watching Zhi Jingxiang, who couldn’t hold out under Najiji’s attack, Duanmu Huai could only shake his head. Earlier, she was righteously talking about taking revenge, but now she can’t even stand. At this rate, not to mention revenge, she’ll not be able to survive here.

“Boom!!”

With a loud blast, Zhi Jingxiang fell to the ground. Her clothes were completely torn, and she was panting and dripping with sweat.

“I really don’t understand…”

Najiji stood in front of Zhi Jingxiang, coldly staring at this half-sister.

“You’re weak to begin with, and you dare to hold back against me?”

“Because… I… I have no reason to fight you…”

Looking at Najiji in front of her, Zhi Jingxiang was conflicted. As Najiji said, she hadn’t displayed her true strength. Part of it was because her mind was a mess, but she also didn’t know how to deal with Najiji, her half-sister… After all, they were born of the same mother, weren’t they?

“Humph, foolish.”

Instead, Najiji scoffed, and clenched her right hand, aiming at Zhi Jingxiang.

“In that case, you can go die–!”

“Whoosh–!!”

But before Najiji could finish her sentence, a ferocious sword qi whistled in, shooting between the two of them and creating a crack in the ground. This startled Najiji. She quickly withdrew and turned around to find Duanmu Huai standing up, holding a great sword.

“Alright, Zhi Jingxiang, that’s enough. It’s getting dark, we should go.”

“Wait, wait… I haven’t taken my revenge yet!”

“Oh, I took care of that old man for you.”

“Huh?”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s answer, both Zhi Jingxiang and Najiji were stunned. They turned to look and saw that Duanmu Huai’s sword not only broke Najiji’s magic barrier and stopped the fight but also directly split the jar containing the old man’s body in half!

At that moment, the old man’s body was scattered on the ground, his eyes were dull, and his mouth open wide, motionless.

“Father! Father!!!”

Seeing this, Najiji quickly rushed over and fell next to her father’s body. Zhi Jingxiang was staring blankly at the body, feeling a rush of different emotions and didn’t know what to say.

“Alright, the job is done. Let’s go.”

Duanmu Huai then walked over to Zhi Jingxiang, pulling her up. Zhi Jingxiang was as if in a trance, allowing Duanmu Huai to pick her up as they walked to the edge of the tower. It wasn’t until then that Zhi Jingxiang realized something was off.

“Wait, what are you doing?”

“Running. I used a bit too much strength on that last strike.”

“Used a bit too much strength??”

Zhi Jingxiang, hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, was stunned. Before she could react, she felt the surroundings shake. When she looked down, she saw the tower beneath her feet split in two, slowly falling to either side!

Wow, your sword split the whole tower in two?!

Zhi Jingxiang was flabbergasted, but Duanmu Huai had no time to chat. He held Zhi Jingxiang with one arm and Ogis with the other, and promptly leaped off the falling tower!

“Whooooa———-!!”

Feeling weightless and hearing the whistling of wind in her ears, Zhi Jingxiang was so scared that she shut her eyes. However, she did not feel the anticipated severe impact. Instead, after a short while, she felt light. When she opened her eyes, she found that Duanmu Huai had already put her on the ground. By then, they were far from the tower. Looking back, Zhi Jingxiang could even see Jumping Tower’s debris collapsing to the ground with a thunderous noise. The vibration made her tremble slightly.

“Najiji… she’s going to be okay, right?”

Looking at the completely collapsed Jumping Tower, Zhi Jingxiang muttered to herself. She had complicated feelings about her half-sister, Najiji. Before arriving here, she had never imagined that Najiji was their mother’s child…

“She won’t die. She’s probably run away with their father’s corpse.”

Duanmu Huai patted her on the shoulder and handed her a cloak.

“Alright, you should worry about yourself. Aren’t you cold?”

“Huh?”

Zhi Jingxiang instinctively accepted the cloak that Duanmu Huai handed her. Suddenly, she felt a chill in her chest. When she looked down, she froze — during her fight with Najiji, a magic attack had hit Zhi Jingxiang in the chest. Although it wasn’t a lethal injury, Zhi Jingxiang’s clothes had been blown apart, and a large, revealing hole was in full view…

“…Thank you.”

Blushing, Zhi Jingxiang hastily wrapped herself in the cloak.

“Let’s go. Wu Luze is very worried about you.”

Duanmu Huai didn’t say much more. He led Ogis and Zhi Jingxiang towards Night Raven Black Star, which was parked not far away.

However… just as he turned around, Duanmu Huai suddenly saw several magic attacks flying in from all directions, hitting Night Raven Black Star and causing a violent explosion. The ship quickly became reduced to scrap metal in the intense bombardment.

Immediately after, hundreds of demon soldiers swarmed them, surrounding the trio.

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect to find humans here!”

“Kill them! Kill them!!”

We’re done for!

Looking at the demon army that was surrounding her, Zhi Jingxiang turned pale white. It was clear they could not escape. Now, in front of this demon army, they only faced certain death.

But at least… I’ve avenged our father. I won’t regret dying… Huh?

As Zhi Jingxiang thought this, she suddenly felt her body shake; a terrifying, powerful threat emerged, making her body involuntarily tremble.

Soon, she realized that this threat wasn’t coming from the enemies in front of her, but from the person next to her!

At the same time, Duanmu Huai’s deep voice echoed in Zhi Jingxiang’s ears.

“You bloody, filthy, demon scum…”

Duanmu Huai slowly raised his head, his eyes flaring with burning rage.

“I just got a new vehicle… no, a new ship! It’s my first time out, and you fuckers destroyed it?! You sons of bitches! Looks like you want to die!!!!!!!!”

With Duanmu Huai’s roar, an unparalleled, intense killer intent, mixed with both death and destruction, erupted from his body, spreading outwards. The demons, who had never experienced such a terrifying aura, fell unconscious or stopped breathing altogether, becoming cold corpses on the ground!

“Chatter, chatter, chatter!!”

Zhi Jingxiang was not in much better shape. Although Duanmu Huai’s Fearful Aura wasn’t directed at her, she felt weak and collapsed on the ground, her mind a total blank. Her teeth chattered uncontrollably; she felt as if she was hanging over an abyss!

“Die, demon scum!!”

Duanmu Huai couldn’t hold back any longer. His initial plan was to bring Zhi Jingxiang back to Fortress City then deal with the demons, but these bastards were so audacious – they’d dared to destroy his new car!

I’ll leave you beaten and blooming like a peach blossom if you don’t understand why flowers are so red!

If you choose this path, then go to hell!

I’ll make you, demon sack of shit, know that there’s no way out for you!

There is only one way: death!!

Accompanied by Duanmu Huai’s roar, a cold, black flame burst from his body. Immediately afterwards, dozens of shadowy figures wielding double-edged swords emerged — those were the attendants of Predetermined Death, the Black Blade Assassins!

Like cheetahs, they surged into the demon army. With each swing of their sword, a sea of blood emerged in the demon ranks, sparking a horrific massacre!

The demon army never expected their prey to bare their fangs at them. However, it was too late. The Black Blade Assassins, like a pack of wolves, had launched an attack within the demon army. Seeing the demon army collapsing under Duanmu Huai’s Fearful Aura, lots of demon soldiers didn’t even put up a fight. They screamed and turned to flee.

But Duanmu Huai will not let them go.

Just as these demon soldiers scattered in panic, Duanmu Huai, with his body ablaze in black flames, leaped up and dashed towards them like a meteorite, diving straight into their ranks!
