Chapter 241: 151: Counterkill Turing Duo! Meng Tuoluo Appears Again!_2

Suo Lun just stared into her eyes, motionless.

Turing Duo locked eyes with him, equally still.

Time trickled by, and Suo Lun’s pupils gradually became bloodshot and started to dilate.

It was a sign of impending death, and then with these dying eyes, he fixated on her.

Turing Duo had thought her mind was incredibly strong and that she could maintain eye contact with Suo Lun until he died.

However... when a person is dying, that kind of gaze is still too... terrifying.

Finally, as if Turing Duo could no longer withstand the gaze of death, her eyes trembled slightly, her mind sharply scattered, and she instantly let her guard down.

The chance for a counterattack, the moment for a life-saving opportunity, finally came.

Yao Xing’s long-gathered spiritual power shot forth like an incredibly sharp edge right through Turing Duo’s eyes and into her brain, then exploded.

"Ah..." A sharp pain burst in Turing Duo’s brain as if it were about to split open.

Then, her mind went completely blank, her body instantly lost control, and the hand around Suo Lun’s neck loosened in an instant.

The time Turing Duo would be out of control was very short, at most half a second before she would recover.

With all his might, Suo Lun broke free from Turing Duo’s whip and his body rolled to one side.

After that, he propped up his nearly completely shattered body, and with the last of his strength, pulled out the sword from Turing Duo’s waist and stabbed it fiercely into her chest.

"Pu ci..."

Although he was weak all over, the sword was an extremely light and sharp platinum blade that easily pierced through Turing Duo’s chest, its tip emerging from her back, the snowy blade unstained by blood.

Then, using his last ounce of strength, Suo Lun called to the nearby Lion-Tiger Beast, roaring, "Little Darling..."

However, by then he could no longer make a sound. All his strength, all his spirit, were completely drained, and he passed out.

The Lion-Tiger Beast rushed over from not far away, barely giving Suo Lun a chance to ride on its back before picking him up with its mouth and dashing towards the mountains to the south at full speed.

...

On this journey, in fact, Suo Lun had many chances to counterattack.

Because a spiritual power attack only required eye contact, and on the road from Tianye City to the vast mountains, Turing Duo had glared at him with hatred countless times.

Each time Suo Lun let Yao Xing gather spiritual power in preparation for an attack, but in the end, he gave up because the chance of success was too slim.

Turing Duo was a Swordsman, with both her spiritual aptitude and spiritual power cultivation being very strong. Moreover, she maintained a strong mental defense at all times. Even a sudden spiritual attack could not succeed against her.

A spiritual power attack was Suo Lun’s only trump card, and he had only one chance. If it missed, it meant certain death.

Yao Xing had assessed numerous times that Suo Lun’s chance of a successful attack was less than five percent.

Even though Yao Xing stored a tremendous amount of spiritual power, Suo Lun’s cultivation level was insufficient, therefore the instantaneous release of spiritual power was limited.

Suo Lun’s spiritual power cultivation far exceeded his martial power, having reached the standard of a mid-level practitioner. But he still couldn’t bear more instant release of spiritual power, otherwise before he could attack others, his own brain would be utterly destroyed.

He had to wait, to choose the very best opportunity, for a fatal blow.

But a woman with a strong mind like Turing Duo gave him no chance. Her spirit was almost never relaxed, even when she slept; she instinctively used spiritual power to guard within a hundred meters, instantly waking up to any rustling movements.

So throughout the thousands of miles of this journey, he never found the right moment to strike.

Until the end, when Turing Duo finally decided to kill him. Suo Lun used the deterrence of the gaze of death to cause her momentary distraction.

However, if Turing Duo had pierced his heart or cut off his head, then it would have been certain death for Suo Lun.

But along the way, her torture of Suo Lun dissipated much of the hatred in her heart.

So when Suo Lun asked for an intact corpse, she agreed, choosing to strangle him with a horsewhip. And when Suo Lun chose to lock eyes with her, the proud and powerful Turing Duo did not flinch and just maintained eye contact.

She indeed was strong, because not everyone can face the gaze of a dying person. Some might be mass murderers but still lack the courage to face the last gaze of the dead.

But Turing Duo still overestimated her mental state; when Suo Lun became gradually enveloped by death, his gaze still managed to shake her spirit.

Although it was just a moment, it was enough. The opportunity for a fatal blow had finally arrived.

Seizing that moment, Yao Xing gathered his still powerful spiritual force and launched a decisive counterattack, a fatal strike.

All this had been planned in Suo Lun’s mind from the time Turing Duo first captured him.

From his provocation that enraged Turing Duo, causing her to continuously torment him and gradually release her anger, until the end when he asked for a whole corpse, leading Turing Duo to strangle him with the whip.

But this near-suicidal plan was really a matter of three parts strategy and seven parts fate.

Because if Little Darling, the Lion-Tiger Beast, hadn’t come to the rescue at the end, and if Suo Lun’s final sword strike hadn’t killed Turing Duo, then he would have been doomed.

And if Turing Duo truly had a heart of stone, and even faced with Suo Lun’s dying gaze remained unmoved, then he still would have been doomed.
