Chapter 143 Dragon Snake
This is a gamble.
A gamble with everything Chen Xingzhou and Lei Yaoxing have at stake.
The leader outside the clouds makes the judgment and witnesses the whole situation - it all started from the moment the bullet that completely destroyed the balance was fired.
There is no room for cleverness, disguise or acting.
Either die in such a ridiculous way, or crawl out of hell alive and reach out to grab everything you want!
This was the excommunication that the leader had given to Chen Xingzhou in advance, because he wanted to make Huangji of Yacheng a target of public criticism for his own selfish reasons, and he deserved to die.
From that bullet on, there were only two possible outcomes for the destruction of Yacheng.
The first is that Lei Yaoxing subdues everyone, ascends the throne with greater skill and strength than Lei Wuye, and becomes the real boss of Yacheng. By then, Chen Xingzhou will be a clown, not worth a single laugh.
The second possibility is that under the public outrage, Lei Yaoxing has no way to move forward or turn back, he has no way to make a final decision, and he cannot control the situation, thus threatening the safety of everyone.
When the tacit understanding and balance were broken, Chen Xingzhou, who returned from death, settled everything on behalf of all other participants.
Now, the victory or defeat was finally decided in front of the spirit.
After all, Lei Yaoxing did not have the ability to control Huangji and reshape the wasteland.
In other words, under the interference and guidance of Chen Xingzhou, one wrong step led to another, and the situation became irreversible, so that he single-handedly ruined the situation to such an extent.
Chen Xingzhou, who had been ignored, opened his eyes... and in just one night, he reorganized the scattered sand through promises, intimidation, negotiation and conspiracy.
The long night is over.
After today, the dark side of Yacheng will never be the same again.
Lei Wu is already dead, and the last trace of him will be completely wiped out from Huangji. The checks and balances and confrontation that were once stagnant will never return.
No, perhaps when Lei Wuye deliberately made the wilderness rigid and stale in order to maintain his own status and power, he had already incurred the disgust and contempt of Bai Lu.
Tianyuan loves checks and balances and stability, but Bailu only wants the elimination of the capable and the cycle of the survival of the fittest.
The stagnant water in Yacheng has been rotting for too long.
And in this short half month, under the encouragement of Chen Xingzhou, all the battles they should have fought, the hunts they should have sacrificed, and the struggles they should have made over the years have been repaid to Bai Lu...
Even more than enough.
This is a sacrifice that everyone is willing to make to the wilderness.
For profit, for ambition, for hatred or for other reasons...
As the old and incompetent fools fell, new seeds were already receiving the gift of the White Deer in the spreading blood.
Ambition and desire sprouted again from the wilderness. The young beasts were hungry, rampant and eager to challenge everything.
The transition from the old to the new has been completed.
Everything from now on will be different from yesterday.
"Give up, Young Master Xing. No one will obey you."
Chen Xingzhou sighed and showed the supporters behind him: "Uncles and uncles don't support you, bosses don't stand by you, no one supports you, even if I die, can you ascend to the throne? Who will believe your promises and guarantees?
You are doomed to lose your chance to be the leader of the group."
He said, "Leave Yacheng before this afternoon. There is still a place for you in Huangji."
boom!
There was no warning, a bolt from the blue.
Lao Lin, who was originally outside the door, suddenly broke through the air and stood in front of Chen Xingzhou. His palm surrounded by flames and thick smoke showed a strange outline, blocking the invisible blade that was slashing in the air.
The entire mourning hall was shaken violently. Flowers flew up from the raging waves, withered and fell down, and the whole place was in a mess.
"You said no, so it's no? Chen Xingzhou, who the hell do you think you are?"
Lei Yaoxing's eyes were bloodshot, and he glanced at him and the group of people behind him with contempt: "Do you think you can defeat me with a bunch of chickens and dogs?
It’s not your turn to give orders here - if the leader wants to kill me, let him talk to me!
If you want my life, come and take it yourself!"
At this moment, along with Lei Yaoxing's words, many people in the mourning hall suddenly stood up, showing spiritual fluctuations without any care, looking at Chen Xingzhou and the people behind him with malicious and ferocious eyes.
Situation? Strength? Popularity?
To wild beasts, those are useless things, not worth mentioning. Even beasts at their wits' end know how to fight with their backs against the wall. Only after the fight will we know who is the boss.
Even if the living one may not win, the dead one definitely can’t do it!
"Very well, now that things have come to this, I have nothing more to say."
Chen Xingzhou sighed softly, and finally said, "I leave it to you."
As he said that, he turned around and looked at Ji Jue.
"what?"
Ji Jue was stunned and almost lost his grip on the melon seeds. Under everyone's gaze, his head was buzzing - what the hell is this? What's going on? What's the use of giving it to me!
I'm here to watch the show, and I don't give a shit about your life or death fight with Bai Lu!
But then, a soft voice sounded from behind him.
"Okay," she said.
When Ji Jue looked back in surprise, he almost thought that Xiao An had also arrived at the scene.
But that wasn't Xiao An, but another figure who had just said goodbye last night...
——An Ning!
I don’t know when she moved the bench over and sat behind him, but Ji Jue didn’t feel any breath or movement.
Even during the boring wait, she casually tied three small braids on the back of Ji Jue's head.
And from beginning to end, Ji Jue was completely unaware...
Now, when the girl stood up and walked towards the dispute in front of her, no one could ignore her existence anymore.
The brilliance that once shone like stars in his eyes disappeared, leaving only endless darkness like the night.
There was no longer any gentle, sweet smile, only a cold and indifferent calmness.
After waiting for such a long time and experiencing many unexpected episodes, her work finally began.
All her once distinctive features had now disappeared from her. After An Ning took the initiative to erase all colors, the only one walking towards the mourning hall was the executor who was intended to be the leader.
It's like the incarnation of Huang Ji.
The White Stag Hunter heads for strife.
Just like that, he raised his right hand towards everyone, showing off the thin glove he was wearing, which was as red as blood.
The dark white deer emblem glowed.
"Today, I am here to convey the ruling on behalf of the leader—"
She stared at the many angry or frightened beasts and declared indifferently: "The dispute over Yacheng ends here. Do not start any more disputes. Those who are incompetent will be expelled, and those who disobey will be killed."
After a brief pause, the White Deer Hunter finally asked:
"——Now, Huang Ji is asking, do you want to rebel against the leader?"
In the dead silence of a moment, everyone except Chen Xingzhou and Lei Yaoxing took a step back in unison, their expressions wavering. Soon, the originally violent spiritual fluctuations dissipated completely.
Some people even voluntarily put down their weapons and pistols and retreated again and again.
Old Lin remained motionless.
Behind Lei Yaoxing, among the many silent supporters, some had changing expressions, gritted their teeth, turned around and hurried away; some hesitated and retreated. In the end, even the closest assistants and subordinates bowed their heads in obedience under the gaze of the White Deer Hunter. But when they saw Lei Yaoxing still standing upright and ferocious, they couldn't help but whispered:
"Brother Xing, as long as the green mountains remain, we will live..."
"Brother Xing!"
Lei Yaoxing didn't say anything and ignored the people's pulling.
His face was ashen.
He stared coldly at the figures around him who had retreated, and finally, he looked at An Ning, with murderous intent, like a beast trapped in a cage, shackled by invisible chains, unable to break free.
He just gritted his teeth, held on, and refused to bow his head.
"People from the An family..."
He sneered through his teeth: "Hey, it's true, long time no see."
An Ning just threw a box over and said, "Before I came here, Grandpa told me to bring you something because of my small friendship with Lei Wuye."
She said, “I hope you take care of yourself.”
The box fell at Lei Yaoxing's feet.
He bent down silently, picked it up, and opened the box. There was no quick-kill poison or letter inside. Between the soft and luxurious velvet and the cushioning layer, there was only a coarse porcelain chicken bowl that could be found everywhere.
It seems like it has been used for many years.
The rooster above was dull and had many scratches.
"White deer are the way of the wilderness. The strong prey on the weak, but the wilderness also has its own rules. If anyone wants to cut off the water source and endanger the wilderness, he will be the enemy of all beasts.
In half a month, you have failed to integrate Yacheng and suppress the dissenters. If you still don't know how to advance or retreat and struggle desperately, that will be the source of disaster."
An Ning said: "The wilderness can no longer accommodate you, you must leave the wilderness and find your own way out.
This is his promise to you.”
A rice bowl is, of course, used to hold rice, even if it is a deserted rice bowl.
As long as a person has a bowl, he will have food to eat. As long as the bowl is still there, no one can take away the food.
As long as people have food to eat, they can survive.
This is the gift given by Huang Ji.
Leave Yacheng and make a living on your own.
If he has great ambitions, he may be able to make a comeback one day and regain the position of the boss.
Your life and destiny are in your own hands.
"Now, I'm asking you again on behalf of Huang Ji, Lei Yaoxing——"
In the dead silence, An Ning asked one last question, "Did you obey the leader's order?"
Lei Yaoxing did not answer.
He just stared at the bowl in his hand in silence, a smile appeared on his iron face, so mocking, but he didn't know whether he was mocking others or himself.
But when he finally raised his head and looked at the empty surroundings, and then looked at Chen Xingzhou in the crowd, his twitching expression gradually calmed down.
In the end, all that was left was exhaustion and numbness.
"Hey, it's a complete failure."
He sighed softly and raised the bowl in his hand towards An Ning, his knuckles turning white: "Thank you, Mr. An, for saving my life."
Just like that, a calm and nonchalant smile.
"Pity."
Lei Yaoxing said, "I don't want to beg for my life by kneeling down to save my life!"
Snapped!
As he waved his hand, Huang Ji's last mercy flew out of his hand, fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The crisp sound was like thunder, shocking everyone's expression.
Then came the sound of blood flowing.
fell to the ground.
"Ho...ho..."
Lei Yaoxing widened his eyes, raised his hand dully, and when he touched his throat, he realized the cold texture, so sharp that it could cut his fingers.
When the large coarse porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, a piece of it bounced lightly from the ground.
As if by coincidence, it went down his throat.
Even the dynamic vision of the Chosen One cannot detect it, and even the recovery ability of the reborn rank cannot be immune.
There is no way to avoid it, no way to circumvent it, and no way to guard against it.
For example, fate.
Bowls are used for eating. If the bowl is broken, there will be no more rice to eat.
People will die.
This is the dead end that Lei Yaoxing chose himself.
.
At that moment, outside the cliff city, in the distance in the wilderness, among the dense forests deep in the mountains, birds were startled.
The old man basking in the sun in the recliner seemed to sense something and raised his eyes slightly.
Soon, he looked away without interest.
Pity.
He learned Lei Wuye's arrogance of not being able to control life and death, but he did not learn his forbearance of humiliation when he was kicked in the crotch.
Originally, it might be possible to fly to the sky in the future, but unfortunately, it was difficult to pass the Dragon Gate.
Ultimately, nothing great will come of it.
No, maybe I chose to give up, because... in the clouds above the nine heavens, the position there had already been occupied by someone!
It can change in size and rise and hide freely.
It was so high that it made him completely despair.
But...the giant dragon that is taking advantage of the situation and calling the wind and rain at this moment, when it reveals its true form one day, will it be a dragon or a snake?
The old man stared at the dark clouds gradually drifting in the distance, as if in a trance.
After a long while, he waved his hand.
Close your eyes and take a nap again.
The clouds and fog disappeared, and the sky was clear.
