Chapter 1460: Sworn Oath

At that time, Gu Dongxing used the last bit of his spiritual power, struck with a palm, sending the rhino flying, and then swung out a flying sword to kill the rhino. But as the rhino fell, so did he.

His abdomen had a huge hole. For other team members, it might not have been a fatal injury, but for Gu Dongxing, who had exhausted his spiritual power, it happened to injure his Dantian and Golden Core. The attack he unleashed also used up his last trace of strength and divine sense, which is why he collapsed.

Both Meng Li and the special forces team were stunned.

Relying on Commander Gu’s protection, they had survived such difficult battles, but now, their deputy captain had fallen to the attack of a passing rhino?

Captain Lin Bin checked Gu Dongxing’s carotid artery, and there was no pulse?

The deputy captain is dead?

Everyone was dumbfounded. Someone as strong as Commander Gu could actually die?

Lin Bin couldn’t care less about Meng Li’s background and shouted at her: "The deputy captain died, are you satisfied?"

Other team members also started yelling at Meng Li:

"Why did you provoke that rhino?"

"Why did you get the deputy captain killed?"

"Didn’t you know the deputy captain was already exhausted? Why did you use him as a shield?"

"You’re the only one with strength left in the team, why didn’t you go and fight the rhino?"

"You provoked the rhino and then hid behind the deputy captain. Didn’t you intend to get the team killed?"

Meng Li weakly defended herself:

"I didn’t."

"I didn’t mean to."

"It wasn’t intentional!"

...

In the end, Meng Li could only throw herself onto Commander Gu and cry her heart out:

"I’m sorry, deputy captain. I really didn’t intend to harm you."

"Deputy captain, please wake up. As long as you wake up, even if you’re crippled, I will marry you."

A team member sneered: "What nonsense. You know full well the deputy captain is dead, not crippled, so stop pretending."

Meng Li shouted at that team member: "The deputy captain won’t die! Even if he does, I will stay widowed for him!"

"Stay widowed for him?"

"Yes, I, Meng Li, swear, if the deputy captain is crippled, I will be his wife. If the deputy captain becomes a vegetable, I will take care of him for a lifetime. If the deputy captain dies, I will stay widowed for him. If I break this oath, may heaven strike me down with lightning!"

Hearing Meng Li’s oath, the other team members fell silent.

However, a voice persistently said, "But the truth is, he’s already dead, and it was you who got him killed!"

This team member named Wang Zhong, who was initially on the brink of death during the battle, was saved by the deputy captain giving him a pill, so he was very grateful to the deputy captain and only wanted to repay him in this lifetime.

However, the deputy captain was killed by this woman.

"Impossible. The deputy captain would not die. I must save him, I absolutely must save him." She infused her spiritual power into Gu Dongxing’s body, but didn’t consider whether her fire spiritual power would be effective on Gu Dongxing.

But her spiritual power was limited, and it was soon depleted. Gu Dongxing still lay there without any reaction.

She collapsed on Gu Dongxing, crying: "Deputy captain, is this because you won’t forgive me? Please open your eyes and look at me. I like you. I fell for you at first sight, which is why I followed you here. You can’t leave me, deputy captain."

All the team members listened to Meng Li cry, and for a moment, couldn’t bring themselves to blame her.

Moreover, she had sworn, if the deputy captain was crippled, she’d marry him; if the deputy captain became a vegetable, she’d take care of him for life; if the deputy captain died, she’d stay widowed for him. Her feelings for the deputy captain were genuine.

Back then, hiding behind the deputy captain and letting him block the rhino might have been due to a habitual reliance on the deputy captain’s protection and overconfidence in his strength, not realizing he was already at the end of his strength, right?

Alas!
