Chapter 3286: How Could She Treat You like This?
But Crossbow Lar’s arrow was damaged—half of the arrowhead cracked.
Still, it had harmed the formation. Black smoke drifted out from it—clearly the sinister energy it had absorbed.
The formation had a weakness now.
Ning Shu set the crossbow down. Crossbow Lar turned back into human form—his body was covered in injuries.
Dagger Mu quickly rushed over to support him, speaking in a dark tone, “How could she treat you like this?”
But Crossbow Lar smiled. “As long as I can help her. I’m still useful.”
“Mei Ziqing, why are you doing this to me? I was about to succeed. Why are you stopping me? I was about to escape this fate. Why? Why?”
“I’ll never forgive you. I hate you.” Le Qing’s once-clear voice turned sinister.
“I didn’t want to stay in the swamp, but you kept dragging at my legs, pulling me back down into it with you. I hate you. I hate you…”
Every word of Le Qing’s accusation was like a blade stabbing into Mei Ziqing’s heart, bloody and unbearable.
Mei Ziqing’s face contorted. “I know you’re tired of being a task-taker, tired of that constant uncertainty. But a fish out of water will die. You haven’t become a dragon yet—leave the water and you’ll die.
“Le Qing, you’re absorbing the most evil energies of the world to attack the Heavenly Dao. These things will cloud your mind. You’ll become someone even you won’t recognize—a being controlled by evil energy.
“Le Qing, please don’t destroy yourself. I never wanted to drag you into the swamp. If the day ever comes when you truly break free, when you rise above the rules—I’ll only wish you well.”
“I’m about to succeed, and you’re stopping me. Is this what you call wishing me well? If I fail this time, Mei Ziqing, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life. From now on, we’re finished.”
“Ugh…” The ropes around Mei Ziqing tightened. A sickly flush rose to her face.
Her body was bound tightly—tighter and tighter. Mei Ziqing grew more and more uncomfortable, blood spilling from the corners of her mouth.
Clearly, her internal organs were being compressed and injured.
“You can’t keep going like this,” Mei Ziqing said with difficulty, blood staining her teeth.
“Why not? Just because some people had to be sacrificed, that makes it wrong? Those who accomplish great things don’t sweat the small stuff. Every success is built on bones.
“I’m willing to sacrifice my future. I’ll risk everything for great power. I’m willing—I’m willing. Who are you to say I’m wrong?
“Mei Ziqing, you really are a detestable and pedantic woman.”
Mei Ziqing closed her eyes, blood spilling from her mouth, her face deathly pale.
She opened her eyes and said to Ning Shu, “Please.”
Ning Shu facepalmed, then clenched her fists and summoned all the energy in her body. A massive dragon formed of starlight surged out behind her.
Ning Shu flew up and struck the formation in the sky. The dragon followed her, crashing into the heavens-altering formation together.
The formation cracked loudly, and dark, sinister energy seeped out from the gaps.
Ning Shu punched the formation again and again—fine cracks appeared all over it.
“Stop! Stop it…” Le Qing shouted frantically.
Ning Shu ignored him. She raised her fist again. The dragon silently raised its head and let out a soundless roar before slamming hard into the formation.
The cracks on the formation spread rapidly. With a loud *bang*, the formation shattered into countless fragments. Sunlight shone through, glinting brightly.
Ning Shu was blown far away by the shockwave of the explosion. Crossbow Lar rushed over and held Ning Shu from behind, cushioning her fall. He slammed into the ground hard, sliding a long distance.
Ning Shu hastily asked, “Are you okay?”
Despite that powerful shockwave, he still chose to take the blow for her.
