266 I’m Willing to Personally Send You on Your Way
They were obviously very cautious and even deliberately lightened their steps so that no sound could be heard when they walked. If it were not for the other party being a large number of people and the fact that they were so close to Du Yue and He Xing, the two of them might not have noticed that someone had come. It was late at night, but this group of people still hid in black clothes. They even used masks and hats to cover themselves up.
It was obvious that they had planned this operation. If they were not prepared, they would not even know how they died. Du Yue and He Xing did not open fire immediately. They were holding their breath and looking for the celestial lord in the crowd. If they acted rashly, they would only alert the enemy and be of no use.
The group of people had no intention of stopping when they pa.s.sed by the spot where Du Yue and He Xing were hiding. It was obvious that they were here for the granary. Just as Du Yue was wondering why she could not see the celestial lord… The two figures in black who were walking at the back of the group suddenly stopped.
Looking closely, it was the celestial lord. Standing beside him was the fourth lady he had just married, Xia Zhixing. They were standing about two meters away from Du Yue and He Xing, but no one knew what they were doing. Du Yue and He Xing subconsciously softened their breathing and maintained their current positions, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Du Yue quietly aimed her gun at the celestial lord. At such a short distance, he would definitely die if Du Yue fired. Before Du Yue could do anything, she heard Xia Zhixing speak. This was the first time Du Yue had heard her speak. Previously, when Xia Zhixing was partic.i.p.ating in the selection, she had only stood quietly in the middle of the stage and had not spoken.
Although she deliberately lowered her voice, Du Yue could still tell that her voice was still very gentle. “Celestia Lord, I don’t think we should do this…” Probably because of fear, Xia Zhixing’s voice trembled a little. Coupled with her already fair face and dark eyes, she looked very pitiful.
Even a woman like Du Yue would feel her heart ache when she saw Xia Zhixing in such a pitiful state, let alone the celestial lord. Of course, he felt heartache, but whether or not he would change his mind was another matter. After hearing this, the celestial lord reached out and took Xia Zhixing’s hand. “Xing Xing, I know you’re soft-hearted and kind, but we have no other choice now. Only by taking the food away can those people be willing to submit to me. Only then will we have the chance to build a new base. Taking a step back, this food should be given to people like us who can contribute to the world. As for those who aren’t capable, they don’t deserve to have this food. It’s a waste of resources for low-level creatures like them to live. It’s better for them to die early and give in to us. This way, they can reach Nirvana earlier and we can live better, right?”
Xia Zhixing looked at the celestial lord with a pair of teary eyes. After hearing his words, she bit her lip and thought for a moment before finally nodding. “You’re right. If this is your choice, then I’m willing to—”
“Pfft!”
“Then I’m willing to personally send you on your way!” The sound of the sharp knife piercing into flesh was particularly obvious in the silent night.
Du Yue and He Xing looked at the scene before them in disbelief. They had never expected things to turn out this way. Xia Zhixing held a dagger that glowed with a cold light in her hand. At this moment, the blade of the dagger had completely pierced into the celestial lord’s chest. The smile from before was still on the celestial lord’s face, but it was becoming stiffer. In the end, he looked at Xia Zhixing in disbelief. “You… Why?”
Xia Zhixing secretly exerted some force in her hand that was holding the dagger and turned the blade that was buried in the celestial lord’s body. She watched as the celestial lord’s face gradually turned pale and the color of blood slowly disappeared along with her movements. In the end, he could not hold on any longer and fell. Xia Zhixing’s eyes, which were still filled with tears, flashed with a glint of satisfaction.
“Celestial Lord, I’m afraid you can’t even remember how many bad things you’ve done in the years you’ve been in power. However, I still remember all of them. A year ago, at this time, you met a girl on the road and ordered people to tie her up. That girl was my sister. We’re one year apart, but one of us looks like Dad and the other looks like Mom. After the apocalypse, our parents died, and before they died, they told me to take good care of my sister.”
