Chapter 566: Chapter 566

But at the next moment, Zhou Qing appeared from behind and grabbed the broadsword. With a rush of Spiritual Power, Yan Xiaohu finally woke up a little.

Recalling what had just happened, he felt a surge of fear.

Zhou Qing, on the other hand, looked at the twisted shadow of Du Kui in the darkness ahead and fell silent.

Slowly closing his eyes, as if he was truly sensing something.

At this moment, he seemed to understand something.

"So, it wasn’t that you didn’t have the ability to save Luo Xue on Spirit Skull Mountain, but you did it... intentionally!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the dark and painful emotions doubled again. Yan Xiaohu beside him was full of disbelief.

After a long time, Du Kui’s voice slowly emerged from the darkness: "Using this endless pain as a guide, I only then entered the Realm of Descent. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qing nodded slightly, his expression complex and indecipherable, but a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

He slowly spoke, "Cruel enough. So, after I killed Sima Demoness and pulled you out of despair, I actually destroyed the realm you had comprehended."

Upon hearing this, the darkness around Du Kui fluctuated violently.

Countless black air currents intertwined and collided, emitting a low rumble. But only for a moment, this fluctuation quickly subsided, and everything returned to its original state.

Du Kui’s voice came from the depths of the darkness, carrying a long-suppressed emotion, sounding somewhat hoarse.

"I swear, I never thought of this before, because she wasn’t just my junior sister, she was also my childhood sweetheart."

"I devoted myself completely to being good to Xue’er. For her, I would stop at nothing, even nearly losing my life several times."

"But ever since I sensed something wrong with the master, at that moment, I seemed to understand something. Only by becoming stronger can I have the qualification to protect, can I have the ability to resist."

Du Kui’s voice trembled slightly, echoing in the darkness, the long-suppressed emotion finally unable to be suppressed any longer.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu’s expressions changed instantly.

Indeed, being close to him, how could he not notice something off with Master Gao Xuan.

It turned out that from that moment, the belief he had been holding onto started to collapse.

"You may not believe this when I say it. Gao Xuan, my master, turned out to be an undercover from Cangyan Daoist Palace!"

Du Kui’s voice, carrying an indescribable complex emotion, resurfaced. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⁂fire.net

"On one side is the master who led me into the path of cultivation, and on the other side is the sect where I grew up treating as my life. How could I choose?"

Du Kui’s voice suddenly raised, filled with pain and struggle.

It was the helplessness of being toyed with by fate.

Affection or righteousness?

He struggled bitterly between both sides.

Zhou Qing was stunned.

He thought that Du Kui had discovered the matter of Master Gao Xuan being taken over by someone.

"So, I must achieve Divinity Transformation, I must become stronger!" Du Kui suddenly howled, full of endless struggle and reluctance.

"When I decided to sacrifice Xue’er one day in the future, do you know how painful it was for me? I truly loved Xue’er, loved her to the point where I couldn’t tell what was sincere and what was false."

As he spoke, Du Kui’s emotions completely went out of control. He cried and laughed, with a sense of desolation in his laughter and despair in his crying, his whole being seemingly utterly mad.

"On Spirit Skull Mountain, Xue’er, for the sake of letting me escape, burned her origin and used Forbidden Secret Skills to desperately hold off Sima Demoness."

"I looked back three steps with each step I took, every step felt like thousands of steel needles stabbing into my heart viciously. At that moment, it was the most painful decision I’ve ever made in my life!"

Du Kui continued, his voice already choked with sobs.

Hearing this, Zhou Qing was full of anger and disdain: "I truly feel sorrow for Luo. If she were still alive and knew the truth, I don’t know if she would regret her sacrifice."

At this moment, Zhou Qing’s voice trembled slightly, as he was trembling with rage at Du Kui’s actions.

He only felt that Luo Xue’s efforts were utterly unworthy, such sincere feelings were trampled on by Du Kui.

Du Kui was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Maybe, but there’s no chance to do it over in this world."

In that tone, though there was a hint of indiscernible guilt, more so it was a stubborn persistence in his delusion.

"Disgusting!" Yan Xiaohu, who finally understood everything, widened his eyes, spat heavily, and cursed loudly.

At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

All along, he had regarded Du Kui as a respected senior brother, but never thought, the other party was so hypocritical and ruthless.

Du Kui, however, seemed to hear nothing and continued: "I don’t want to kill you, you are my junior brothers, but my Realm is still lacking. Once I complete it, I can take a step into the Divinity Transformation Realm."

At this moment, his voice no longer carried the previous madness and pain, replaced by a cold calmness, so calm that it was terrifying.

"My original plan was to slowly comprehend in descent and pain, and after the breakthrough, personally seek revenge on Sima Demoness. But you broke this closed loop, this is the cause you sowed, so you should bear this fruit."

At this point, his voice suddenly turned icy and resolute.

"When I personally end you and repay kindness with enmity, I will become more painful, despairing, and confused until... breakthrough."

In Du Kui’s words, there was a hint of obsessive madness. For the sake of breaking through the realm, he had completely lost his sanity.
