A soft hiss.
The twin-headed snake's body was instantly severed in two, completely slain.
"Quick, crush him!!" Chen Shanhe roared, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
What is this?
Chen Shanhe was stunned, but quickly reacted.
The Bloodthirsty Twin-headed Snake was nourished by essence and blood. Although not connected by heart, the蛊 worms would suffer a backlash when their host died.
With Chen Shanhe injured, the purple spider's speed slowed down. The black scorpion seized this opportunity, lunging quickly towards the purple spider, and they began to wrestle.
Chen Guojun looked at Chen Shanhe and shook his head helplessly, "Shanhe, I am very disappointed in you!"
"Is that so?"
Chen Shanhe wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave a wry smile, "Did you ever have hope for me?"
"Didn't I?"
Chen Guojun's eyes were firm, "I have always held hope for you, even after you joined the Divine Cult. I still have hope for you even now!"
The scorpions and spiders on the field were locked in a fierce battle.
Chen Shanhe had resigned himself to fate. He knew too well what his natal soul蛊 was feeding on.
As the head of the Chen family, even if he hadn't reacted at the time, he would have sensed something was wrong later.
The only reason he insisted on cultivating his natal soul蛊 was self-deception.
He had thought that to avenge his son, he could sacrifice everything, including his own life!
But now, thinking about it, how ridiculous it seemed.
"Father."
Chen Shanhe suddenly called out affectionately.
Chen Guojun looked at his son, his heart twisted with pain.
The most painful things in the world are:
The old sending off the young.
Lovers unable to be together.
A father fighting his son.
And Chen Guojun was currently experiencing two of these. Although he didn't show it on his face, only he could feel the pain in his heart.
Chen Shanhe, with genuine emotion, asked, "Father, teach me one last lesson. Why is it that despite cultivating so many蛊 worms, I can't defeat your most basic black scorpion蛊?"
He had found peace.
He had known from the start that this battle was unwinnable.
"Time!"
Chen Guojun slowly explained, "Do you understand what we蛊 raisers value most?"
"Talent."
As soon as Chen Shanhe spoke, he suddenly thought of something and corrected himself, "It's the feeling for the蛊 worms."
Chen Guojun nodded with satisfaction, "Exactly, it's the feeling.蛊 worms are not just combat tools, but companions. But today's young people only know how to cultivate advanced蛊 worms, completely forgetting this so-called feeling. This includes you!"
Chen Shanhe understood.
Yes, it seemed he had never truly felt any emotion for his蛊 worms.
Not a single bit of affection.
How could a living thing, to which you show no emotion, be able to conquer all?
It's like a car; if you only know how to drive it and not maintain it, it will definitely not be as fast as someone else's car.
But what was the point of understanding this now?
Chen Shanhe broke into a hearty laugh.
He didn't know how many years it had been since he had last smiled like this.
Thinking about it now, how long had it been since he had truly laughed?
"Father, strike."
Chen Shanhe could see that his purple spider was bound to lose.
The only reason it hadn't been defeated yet was that his father had been holding back.
"Foolish child, I've wronged you in this life. You are my pride!"
As soon as Chen Guojun finished speaking, he stopped holding back and controlled the black scorpion to launch a fierce attack.
"I am very content to hear these words," Chen Shanhe smiled.
The purple spider was pierced through its body by a tail stinger.
Chen Shanhe's vitality slowly faded, and the light on his body rapidly diminished.
Chen Guojun's face remained expressionless, and the black and white hair on his head turned white at a visible speed.
As Chen Shanhe completely lost his life, he fell backward.
Chen Shanhe, ranked fourth on the Jianghu Black List, perished.
But what was unexpected was that he did not die at the hands of an enemy, but at the hands of his own father.
Was this not also a tragedy?
Chen Guojun's eyes were sharp, and he took a quick step forward, catching the fallen Chen Shanhe. He forced a difficult smile onto his face, "Silly child, you have always been my pride. It is my fault for not teaching you properly, leading you down this path of no return."
In the woods.
Yu Daohang had gone on a killing spree. Not only was he firmly in control, but he was also looking for an opportunity to counter-kill someone.
Honestly, he felt that Chen Guojun's presence or absence made no difference.
He was capable of handling it alone.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a beam of light shot straight into the sky from within the red barrier.
Seeing this, all three understood.
The battle between father and son had been won by Chen Guojun.
Elder Zuo's expression was slightly grim, and he asked in confusion, "Did Chen Shanhe betray us?"
Elder You shook his head and said sternly, "No, he lost."
"Lost?"
Elder Zuo couldn't help but curse, "He lost even then? What happened?"
The tide had turned.
Seeing the plan fail, the two did not hesitate and turned to flee.
Yu Daohang knew the strength of these two. If they hadn't intended to fight to the death, he wouldn't have been able to keep them.
However, the main mission this time was to rescue the eight hundred disciples of the Chen family.
Yu Daohang met up with Chen Guojun, and then, along with Chen Shanshui and the eight hundred disciples, they quickly headed towards the encirclement.
In the jeep, Yu Daohang, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the haggard Chen Guojun beside him and smiled, "After resolving things, you're not going back to enjoy your old age, are you planning to go to the front line to help?"
Chen Guojun nodded and said calmly, "I've thought it through. While I'm still alive, it's good to do something for the younger generation."
Yu Daohang remained silent, but he was curious.
Had this old man truly achieved enlightenment?
Then he heard Chen Guojun tease, "Even you, this little sly fox, are actively participating. I can't fall behind. Let's put our grudges aside for now."
Mentioning grudges, the atmosphere instantly fell silent.
Yu Daohang also reacted.
Yes, he was currently in the man's car.
Chen Shanshui, who was driving, glanced at Master Yu and his father in the rearview mirror, then at the driver, and gave him a look.
He signaled him to hurry.
The two in the back said nothing, but their eyes kept darting towards each other.
The atmosphere became tense.
Chen Guojun's face was expressionless, and he wished he could slap himself twice.
Why had he brought this up so suddenly?
Yu Daohang's face was also expressionless, but he felt incredibly awkward inside.
Should he say something?
To be honest, Chen Shanhe's path to ruin today was partly his fault.
Chen Shanshui in the front looked at Master Yu and his father in the back through the rearview mirror, then at the driver, and gave him a look.
He signaled him to speed up.
The two in the back said nothing, but their eyes kept glancing at each other.
The atmosphere became tense.
