Chapter 386: Chapter 385 Escape
Sun Xingyu sat down on the sofa, and that terrifying power disappeared without a trace.
However, his heart was filled with terror as he stared at Zhuge Ming and asked, "You... who are you?"
"My name is Zhuge Ming, I have come regarding the disappearance of Zhuge Hong and Zhuge Wei," Zhuge Ming said.
He didn’t take Sun Xingwen seriously at all and didn’t even have the patience to waste another word on him.
But for Sun Xingyu, he showed a bit more patience.
Cultivators are always drawn to strength and give more respect to those with power.
Although in Zhuge Ming’s eyes, Sun Xingyu’s strength wasn’t much, the man was but an illegitimate child of the Sun family, and yet he managed to possess such cultivation at a young age while living in a place like the Mortal World, which was indeed impressive.
This was the second talented cultivator from the Mortal World Zhuge Ming had encountered, aside from Zhang Yunlong.
Thinking of Zhang Yunlong, Zhuge Ming sighed inwardly.
He was a good seed, even Sister Hong had a soft spot for him, and his future was boundless. What a pity.
"I came to take your life, but seeing your talent and potential, I find myself a bit reluctant to kill you. Speak, can you seize the opportunity to atone for your sins?" Zhuge Ming said to Sun Xingyu.
Sun Xingyu took a deep breath and said, "What do you want to know?"
"Do you have any clues about the deaths of Zhuge Wei and Zhuge Hong?" Zhuge Ming asked.
Sun Xingyu answered, "I have no concrete leads. After we were attacked on the island, we lost our target, and after searching fruitlessly for several days, they went to the Divine Continent."
Zhuge Ming asked, "To find whom in the Divine Continent?"
"They thought the person who kidnapped Zhang Yunlong might be connected to that young man who was against the Zhang family and went to look for him," Sun Xingyu explained.
Zhuge Ming’s eyebrows rose as he said, "So, their disappearance is related to Yang Fei."
Sun Xingyu nodded, "Yes."
Both were familiar with the name Yang Fei.
Clearly, Yang Fei had caused quite a stir in the Divine Continent Martial World, and his reputation had spread.
Zhuge Ming asked, "Do you know Yang Fei? Is he a member of the International Madman?"
Sun Xingyu shook his head and said, "I don’t know him. He’s too young to be a member of the International Madman."
"Are you sure?"
Sun Xingyu thought for a moment and nodded, "Certain."
Zhuge Ming smiled and said, "I also don’t think it’s him. The International Madman was formed five years ago, and Madman King seemed quite formidable then. If Yang Fei were the Madman King, wouldn’t that mean he was very strong at seventeen?"
Sun Xingyu nodded and said, "Exactly, although none of us have seen Boss Tang’s true face, based on our speculation, it’s impossible for Yang Fei to be Boss Tang. He was only seventeen or eighteen at the time, not that formidable."
For that young man named Yang Fei, Sun Xingyu truly had a lot of respect.
But he didn’t think Yang Fei was Tang.
If that was the case, then he wouldn’t care about Yang Fei’s life or death and firmly claimed that Zhuge Hong and Zhuge Wei went after Yang Fei. Eventually, they disappeared, so if the Zhuge family wanted revenge, they should go to the Divine Continent Country and look for Yang Fei.
Sun Xingyu then looked up at Sun Xingwen and said, "Brother, Sky Net is trying to find Boss Tang’s whereabouts, and I’m an essential link in that search. That’s why I can’t die—if I die, Boss Tang will not appear, and Sky Net’s efforts will be wasted."
He hadn’t expected the Zhuge family to act so swiftly, and this person was far too strong. If his opponent wanted to kill him right now, he would be completely powerless to resist.
So Sun Xingyu needed to buy time, doing his best to let the other party know he still held value.
Zhuge Ming smiled faintly and said, "The person you’re waiting for might have already arrived."
Sun Xingyu’s pupils shrank as he asked, "Arrived?"
Zhuge Ming said, "The people Sky Net had lying in ambush around here have already been attacked. If those who attacked Sky Net are members of the International Madman, your value has been completely drained."
Sun Xingyu’s face was one of shock as he exclaimed, "He must have come, or else it wouldn’t be possible to move against Sky Net’s people so silently, so suddenly."
Sun Xingwen couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Zhuge, is the fight outside over?"
Zhuge Ming shook his head, "I am not a god."
Though he was at the Half-step Divine Travel Realm and was proficient in the divine powers of the Zhuge family with formidable combat strength, his divine thought was not so exaggerated as to cover an area with a radius of several hundred meters.
Previously outside, Yang Fei had only keenly sensed someone approaching and had acted against the Sky Net members ambushed around. Now, as he entered the villa, he did not release his Divine Thought and was unaware of everything outside.
"Big brother, we need to leave this place," Sun Xingyu said to Sun Xingwen with a solemn expression, "You don’t know how terrifying he is."
On hearing this, Sun Xingwen scoffed, "No matter how strong he is, as long as Mr. Zhuge is here, we are safe."
Sun Xingyu glanced at Zhuge Ming, his mouth twitched, but he said nothing.
Zhuge Ming looked at Sun Xingyu and said, "It seems you trust Tang more?"
After a moment of silence, Sun Xingyu said, "If he were to return to his peak combat strength, you might not be his match."
Zhuge Ming’s pupils shrank slightly.
He had previously used the authority of the Divine Travel Realm to pressure Sun Xingyu to sit down, thinking it would make Sun Xingyu revere him like a deity, but he didn’t expect such words from him.
"Is he that strong?" Zhuge Ming asked in a deep voice.
Sun Xingyu replied, "So far, I’ve never seen anyone who can defeat him in one-on-one combat. Two years ago, if it weren’t for him covering for others to escape, getting surrounded, he wouldn’t have been injured."
Zhuge Ming stood up and said, "Is there really such an expert in the Mortal World? I’ve become quite interested in him."
"If it really is him, I advise you not to oppose him," Sun Xingyu said, looking at Zhuge Ming.
Zhuge Ming gave Sun Xingyu a cold stare, "Are you provoking me?"
Sun Xingyu was staggered by his stare, his mind buzzing, and his chest felt as if a massive stone had smashed down, his blood and qi roiling inside, nearly causing him to burst.
So strong!
Shocked, he quickly closed his eyes and started cycling his cultivation technique to regulate his breath.
Zhuge Ming snorted and said, "Today, I’ll let you see what ’beyond the sky there is another sky’ means."
After finishing, he strode outside.
Sun Xingwen rose to follow, but Sun Xingyu called out, "Big brother, it’s not safe outside."
Sun Xingwen paused, then decisively sat back down.
A moment later, Zhuge Ming had disappeared from sight.
Sun Xingyu stood up, walked over to his elder brother, and suddenly his hand chopped towards Sun Xingwen’s throat.
Sun Xingwen, not expecting his own brother to strike at him, was terrified and hurriedly tried to dodge backward.
However, the gap between him and Sun Xingyu was not insignificant, and with Sun Xingyu’s ambush, he couldn’t avoid it.
"Puh!"
Sun Xingyu’s hand chop firmly hit Sun Xingwen’s throat.
Crack!
The throat broke.
Blood gushed from Sun Xingwen’s mouth, his hands clutching his neck, his eyes wide with terror and disbelief, and a look of unwillingness.
How could this be?
He... how could an illegitimate son dare to strike at him?
Sun Xingyu looked on calmly at Sun Xingwen and said serenely, "I really didn’t want to compete with you, I just wanted to live a good life."
Sun Xingwen gasped for air and fell to the ground, deceased.
Sun Xingyu didn’t pause for a second, quickly jumping out a window.
In the dark, he was like a phantom, swiftly moving through the streets and vanishing into the night.
As he crossed the street, his hand pressed a remote switch.
"Boom!!!"
Fire soared into the sky, and a horrific explosion instantly engulfed the entire villa.
