Xiao Chenyu took a deep breath, a hint of guilt appearing in his eyes as he said, “I understand! Until the moment of your death… you still acknowledge me as your second brother… but it was my own hands that killed you. I owe you this, and you have no regrets, yet I shall bear the regret for a lifetime. If I had a choice, I would rather be the one hurt…”
Li Chunbo smiled lightly and replied, “If you were hurt, it would then be my turn to feel regret. In fact, I have long known that you do not consider me a brother anymore… but I still…”
He smiled gently: “Second brother, upon my death, there must be something to accompany me in the grave. So let this precious sword of yours accompany me in death…”
Xiao Chenyu released the sword hilt and floated back, “Brother…”
Tears finally could not be held back as they fell.
Li Chunbo chuckled softly, as if wanting to say something more, yet ultimately did not speak. Suddenly, his entire body exploded silently, turning into a blazing white flame that burned in the air.
A ninth rank supreme, at this moment, turned his own soul and divine thought into flame!
Just as he had said before: I am already utterly weary of this world; even if there is a chance for rebirth, I do not want it!
If even brothers of a millennium’s friendship can betray, what else could be real?
In such a world, I do not want…
The white flames burned in the air, and Xiao Chenyu's precious sword actually melted within. Bit by bit, it turned into molten iron, and in the end, even the molten iron disappeared drop by drop, leaving everything to nothingness.
Qu Xiangge's wrist trembled, and the dark-colored long knife in his hand suddenly emitted a mournful sound, breaking apart. He laughed towards the sky, “Once a brother, always a brother; even if your other brothers do not accompany you, I, Qu Xiangge, will! You still have a good brother!”
“Li Chunbo, I want to solemnly tell you that in your lifetime, there is still one brother! A true brother!”
Qu Xiangge laughed heartily, turning to look at Xiao Chenyu with contempt in his eyes, shouting, “Those others are unworthy of being your brothers! It is not that you have no brothers!”
His body floated up, charging towards the blazing white flames without hesitation. Suddenly, with a sound, the white flames doubled in intensity, and in an instant, Qu Xiangge's entire body vanished without a trace in the flames!
The two ninth rank supremes ultimately chose not to kill their enemies.
Instead, they directly burned themselves.
Both were proud to the extreme; since death was certain, dragging along some ants for burial was meaningless. More importantly, they were unworthy!
Moreover… it was also a silent request: We have clearly shown mercy, so, I, the Li family, with hundreds of thousands of women and children, you decide!
If you want to kill, then kill; anyway, we certainly will not see it.
But if by any chance you still remember some past sentiments…
Then, just do as you please…
Suddenly, the entire world fell into silence!
Xiao Chenyu stood blankly in the air, at that moment, he felt all murderous intent dissipate. Even the hatred for his own brother was completely forgotten.
In his ears, it seemed the words of Li Chunbo and Qu Xiangge still echoed.
“I originally thought that in the end, if I self-destruct together with Xiangge, even if I couldn't kill you, I would make you suffer wounds that would take decades to recover… but when the time came, I still couldn’t…”
“If you were hurt, it would then be my turn to feel regret…”
“I have long known that you do not consider me a brother anymore… but I still…”
“Once a brother, always a brother; even if your other brothers do not accompany you, I, Qu Xiangge, will! You still have a good brother!”
“Li Chunbo, I want to solemnly tell you that in your lifetime, there is still one brother! A true brother!”
“Those others are unworthy of being your brothers! It is not that you have no brothers!”
