Let's dance with Qiongxiao amidst the Wind and Clouds, let's read this splendid article together!
At that moment, Dong Wulei's heart was filled with only one thought: This is my brother! Even if I die, I won't let him die! Even if he must die, then I will die with him!
Because my brother is young, and on the Road to the Underworld, he is alone and will be scared.
So he impulsively rushed towards the brother he had always envied and suspected!
I don’t necessarily need to be without tears, but I must ensure he is unharmed!
…
The Young Dark Demon fell silent upon hearing Dong Wulei's words; if someone understood him, they would surely find that the Young Dark Demon, the future king of the assassin world, was silently laughing.
Dong Wulei had already begun to skillfully bandage Dong Wushang's wounds, tearing strips of his inner clothing to wrap each wound on his brother. In almost no time, this elegantly dressed eldest young master of the Dong Family was nearly bare.
The people of the Dark Demon watched silently as the two brothers stood—one with tears in his eyes, rigid and still, while the other busied himself, carefully treating the wounds with such gentleness and caution.
But the Young Dark Demon said nothing, and no one dared to move! After all, the Dong Brothers were already trapped, with no escape. There was no need to rush.
As Dong Wulei wrapped his brother's wounds, despair filled his heart, a feeling so desperate it nearly brought him to tears.
Dong Wushang had nearly a hundred wounds on his body! The most severe was a bloody hole in his chest, passing through his body! There was a punch to his waist, which had swollen, but the center had caved in.
This was serious internal injury!
Dong Wulei's hands trembled; he had once held a glimmer of hope: his brother was a martial arts genius, a generation's Blade Emperor! If he could treat his wounds properly, he could fight desperately with his nine subordinates to allow Dong Wushang to escape.
But now he was in despair.
It was already fortunate that Dong Wushang hadn't died on the spot! Now, with any exertion, he could die at any moment; there was no way to save him!
It was a sure death!
Dong Wulei's breathing became heavy, more and more labored, each breath like a bull's roar. He tried hard to control his own bitterness, his heartache, but couldn't. He only felt a sour pain in his chest, unbearable.
Dong Wushang stood contentedly, his heart filled with happiness! His brother, indeed still his brother! I am satisfied…
After Dong Wulei bandaged most of Dong Wushang's serious wounds, he finally had time to turn his head, tying off the bandages while looking at the remaining nine members of the Dong Family.
The nine almost wanted to dodge his gaze, but Dong Wulei's sharp eyes shot over: “It was you… who injured Wushang?!” His voice was heavy and oppressive, spoken through gritted teeth, though still calm.
Anyone could hear the resentment contained in those words!
“… The nine answered simultaneously, lowering their heads, realizing: it was over, judging by the situation, the eldest young master was unaware of what the young lady had arranged…
Death, everyone feared nothing, but they were afraid of carrying the name of traitor before dying! Then, their families within the clan would also be finished.
A muscle in Dong Wulei's face twitched, revealing a moment of desperate ferocity; it quickly faded as he swallowed hard and asked faintly, “What about the others?”
“They're dead… all dead… even Elder Second… is dead…” The nine felt a wave of grief. If they had known the eldest young master didn’t mean that, why had they come to this?
“Good deaths! Truly good deaths! Saved me the trouble.”
Dong Wulei nodded, took a breath: “Was it the second young master who killed them? Or the Dark Demon?”
“… It was, it was the second young master.” The nine dared not conceal the truth, nodding in unison.
