Chapter 255: Chapter 125: Vow of Revenge (10,000-word Chapter, asking for monthly tickets)_6

"You...." Upon hearing these words, Ghost Pupil’s hateful gaze dissipated, leaving him incredulous.

"If this continues, everyone will die. Rather than dying together, let’s sacrifice ourselves for you. Don’t act impulsively. Remember what you said when you set off, run as fast as you can." As he spoke, Li Zheng didn’t wait for Ghost Pupil’s reply and charged towards the Soul Beast with the brothers from the Liver Emperor Group.

The Family Shared Godfather, at the front, reactivated Petrification, enduring the simultaneous assault of eight Soul Beasts.

"Run quickly, don’t let my death be in vain." The Family Shared Godfather cursed, exhausting his health bar under the attacks of the Soul Beasts, eventually dissipating into a black mist.

Then, Heart Killing took over Family Shared Godfather’s position, activating Petrification and Taunt Attribute.

"Run!"

Seeing Ghost Pupil and the others still casting spells and attacking, Li Zheng was instantly furious.

Originally planning to end the Hidden Task early, perfecting them, he didn’t expect this bunch of fools not to retreat.

They were sacrificing themselves in vain.

Ghost Pupil’s four eyes trembled violently, then he gritted his teeth:

"Everyone follow me!"

Faced with Player Clan members who risked their lives and voluntarily threw themselves into the surrounding Soul Beasts, the hearts of the new members of various clans were shocked, yet they understood the purpose of Player Clan’s actions.

If they didn’t leave now, the sacrifices of Player Clan would be in vain.

During this moment, tears couldn’t help but flow from some trainees’ eyes.

Gazing at the rapidly departing figures of Alien Race trainees, Li Zheng took a bottle of Intermediate Potion from his Space Bag and gulped it down:

"Brothers, kill one before death, target that Soul Beast that’s transformed into the Four Eyes Clan, get him!"

"Got it!" Players from the Liver Emperor Group echoed in response.

...

Five minutes later, Li Zheng delivered a punch, breaking the Soul Beast that had transformed into a Four Eyes Clan’s newcomer.

"Awesome!"

The kill notification sounded in his mind, he turned to look next to him.

Besides himself, at Body Refining Level 7, struggling until now, only Magic System player Chi Tu was still alive, while the other brothers from the Liver Emperor Group had already returned to the Imperial Tomb Village.

"Damn it, the Hidden Task ends just like this, who knows when Elder You’s next recruitment will arrive." Chi Tu swore just then, then jumped at Li Zheng, shielding him from the soul chain piercing through the chest.

"Brother Li, I’ll go first, see you in the shack."

"Okay, before you go, let me punch the Soul Beast a few more times, I’ll join you soon." Li Zheng, already a bloody mess, responded immediately, gasping, charging at the toxin-spewing Soul Beast.

Chi Tu’s figure dissipated into black mist at that moment.

At that time, Li Zheng took a step forward, launching a vicious straight punch at the Soul Beast’s chin, which had transformed to look like Alien Race.

The Soul Beast then spat out a cloud of poisonous mist at him, exacerbating his already poisoned state, quickening his blood loss.

At that moment, the Soul Beast transformed into the Brass Clan warrior suddenly delivered a punch to his back, causing Li Zheng to cough blood, falling and rolling several meters away.

Looking at the Soul Beasts closing in, Li Zheng took out the "illusion destruction" rune bomb stored in his Space Bag.

"All of you, I won’t say goodbye."

As Li Zheng was about to detonate the illusion destruction bomb, a figure suddenly appeared by his side, pulling him up and sprinting away rapidly.

"Cough cough...Tongzi!"

Turning to look, Li Zheng saw Ghost Pupil, with his four pupils simultaneously emitting blood light, carrying him and running desperately.

Ghost Pupil didn’t speak, accelerating the pace and enveloping his body in four-color radiance.

Through decomposition, it was discovered that Ghost Pupil entered the Qi-Blood Burning state, running with his life’s limit.

"Cough cough...Tongzi, put me down." In between words, Li Zheng coughed up green blood, as the poisonous mist from the Soul Beasts had put him in a continual state of blood loss.

Ghost Pupil didn’t speak, gritting his teeth to keep running, leaving four streaks of light behind him.

Ten minutes later.

Having run out of the attack range of the Soul Beasts, Ghost Pupil paused, setting Li Zheng to rest against a charcoal-transformed tree, then took out pills and forced them into his mouth.

But Li Zheng didn’t swallow them.

All the brothers from the Liver Emperor Group were dead, he couldn’t survive alone; his brothers were waiting for him to return.

The second training camp without good brothers was meaningless.

Resolutely, he stored the pills back into his Space Bag.

"You must live."

Looking at Ghost Pupil’s bloodshot eyes, Li Zheng weakly shook his head:

"Tongzi, I might be dying."

Already ready to embrace death, while being continually poisoned and suffering blood loss, Li Zheng spoke, glancing at Ghost Pupil’s neck, surprised to find the necklace missing.

Clearly, Ghost Pupil had prepared for sacrifice when he came to rescue, giving the necklace to his clansman.

Feeling touched, Li Zheng grinned and said:

"Tongzi, didn’t you say you could run faster than anyone, surely you won’t...cough cough." As he spoke, the poison within him surged up, Li Zheng coughed up a mouthful of poisoned blood, and paired with wounds all over his body, he looked tragic.

"Don’t speak, breathe deeply, wait for the potion to take effect."

"Tongzi...what about your necklace?"

"I told you not to speak." Discovering Li Zheng’s condition was still worsening, Ghost Pupil placed his hand on Li Zheng’s chest, attempting to dispel the toxin energy inside him.

"Cough cough, Tongzi, I never thought you’d give the necklace to your tribe, risking your life to save me."

"You’re dying, yet you still care about my necklace." Ghost Pupil said with a sorrowful expression.

As Li Zheng was about to speak, he coughed up a mouthful of poisonous blood, looking weak, he said:

"Cough cough...Tongzi, I really like your necklace... if... if we could meet again someday, would you give me your necklace then?"

Watching Li Zheng’s pupils gradually fading, Ghost Pupil felt immense sadness, his body trembled uncontrollably:

"I’ll give it to you, for sure."

"It’s a deal." Li Zheng, as if experiencing a sudden burst of energy, spoke vigorously, but the state quickly waned.

Under Ghost Pupil’s sorrowful gaze, with blood still lacing his lips, Li Zheng coughed intensely again, finally speaking with a relieved expression:

"Tongzi... Remember what you said...you mentioned...cough cough... Four Eyes Clan believes in keeping its word, never going back on it."

"You’re about to die, still in the mood to say all this...." Just as Ghost Pupil was about to start chiding, he watched as Li Zheng’s body started to unravel into mist, yet maintained a smile as he looked at him.

Black smoke slipping through his fingers, Ghost Pupil reached out to grasp, unsuccessfully clutching at the rapid wasting away of Li Zheng’s Life Fire.

This feeling of wanting to hold onto something yet being helpless made Ghost Pupil feel suffocated.

Eventually, Li Zheng’s body disintegrated completely in his grip, dissipating into black mist in the sky and earth.

At this moment, Ghost Pupil’s heart was filled with despair and sadness, as Li Zheng’s smiling face in death etched itself into his mind.

The image ceased to move in thought, engraving itself in Ghost Pupil’s memory.

Ghost Pupil trembled, kneeling on the ground, gazing at the spot where Li Zheng had rested, tears flowed uncontrollably, then slammed his fist on the charred tree before him, gritting his teeth:

"Chi Tu...I, Ghost Pupil, swear here, will definitely return upon completing my training, avenge all of you!"
