A blue light that twisted the air suddenly flashed into view from afar.
The blue light swept across the low sky like fireworks. The next moment, a figure wearing bright silver armor silently appeared in front of everyone.
The armor radiated a despair-inducing light in the quiet night.
"...Lu Daoxing?"
With a "click," the mask sprang up, revealing a pale, haggard face.
Lu Daoxing's eyes were as deep as pitch-black pools, without the slightest trace of light in them.
Qin Siyang was surprised, then showed a look of delight.
He finally got to see Professor Lu again.
However, Jiang Changqing and Jiang Yuanfeng were both terrified, and their entire bodies shuddered.
Jiang Yuanrui's pupils suddenly contracted. His face turned deathly pale, and his feet involuntarily took two steps back.
"Y-You came to Zone 7? Why?", Jiang Yuanrui's voice trembled, "Shouldn't you have taken advantage of Zone 2 being empty and gone there to kill me?"
Lu Daoxing's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He calmly asked in return, "Why do I have to kill you first?"
Jiang Yuanrui hurriedly nodded and shouted with an innocent look on his face, "Yes, yes, yes! Lu Daoxing, you don't have to kill me! Your wife's death was caused by those greedy subordinates in the Ministry of Economics! It really has nothing to do with me!"
Jiang Yuanrui thought of something else and immediately added, "Besides, I can guarantee that as long as you spare me today, I can restore your reputation! Clear your name as a Snake Card wanted criminal! How about it?"
"Jiang Yuanrui, you misunderstood what I meant," Lu Daoxing slowly spoke, "I said I don't need to go kill you first. That doesn't mean I won't kill you."
"Is it still because of your wife? Lu Daoxing, didn't I already have the Ministry of Economics issue a statement explaining everything? Even if I failed to keep my subordinates in check and caused those rotten people in the Ministry of Economics to drive your wife to her death, you don't have to kill me, do you?"
"A statement?", Lu Daoxing remained calm, "I've traveled far and wide for so many years and met all kinds of people. You're the first person to treat me like an idiot."
"I…I didn't…", Jiang Yuanrui's lips trembled, but his voice grew weaker and weaker.
"Perhaps you think my ultimate goal is to kill you, after all, my wife died because she committed suicide after incurring debts to the Ministry of Economics. But in fact, whether I kill you first or your brother first makes no difference to me. Because, in the end, I'm going to kill every member of the Jiang family."
"Why?"
Lu Daoxing gave a light laugh, "You're asking me why? Why don't you take a guess?"
"To avenge your wife?"
Lu Daoxing's gaze was indifferent. He gave no response to Jiang Yuanrui's question that he already knew the answer to.
He looked at him coldly, as though he were looking at a corpse.
Jiang Yuanrui suddenly realized that the person before him would never make another concession.
He suddenly began loudly accusing Lu Daoxing, with anger and madness covering his fear, "Lu Daoxing! You're a demon who kills without blinking! And you're still a teacher who educates people! You commit indiscriminate slaughter and do every kind of evil, aren't you ashamed of yourself?"
"Every debt has its debtor! Even if you think your wife's death was caused by me, at most you should come after me for revenge! What does that have to do with the rest of the Jiang family?"
Lu Daoxing shook his head.
"I thought for a long time about how my wife was driven to her death step by step by you people. In the end, after thinking it over again and again, I finally confirmed that from the moment the Ministry of Economics started that futures investment project, your Jiang family had already set its sights on me."
"She kept accumulating losses and carrying heavy debts, while I, in order to repay those debts, had no choice but to exhaust myself studying debt-repayment items. The purpose was precisely to tie me down… So you had already planned everything, right?"
"No! That's not how it happened!", Jiang Yuanrui angrily argued, "It was all an accident! It was caused by the corrupt people in the Ministry of Economics!"
As if he had not heard Jiang Yuanrui at all, Lu Daoxing continued, "Although I don't know why you wanted to frame my wife or why you wanted to tie me down, I know one thing, you aren't the one in charge of the Jiang family."
"In other words, this decision was definitely not made by you alone."
He paused for a moment and took a deep breath. His voice carried a hint of hoarseness, "And my wife was nothing more than a sacrifice for your Jiang family's interests."
"Jiang Yuanrui, just as you said, every debt has its debtor."
Lu Daoxing's voice suddenly turned cold, carrying a chilling killing intent, "The entire Jiang family owes my wife. I'm merely here to collect the debt."
All the color drained from Jiang Yuanrui's face. His lips moved slightly, but he could not say a word.
"As for your so-called 'indiscriminate punishment'?", Lu Daoxing paused for a moment and said seriously, "Those who have eaten from the Jiang family' crimes must pay the price. That is equally reasonable."
"Mad!", Jiang Yuanrui seemed to collapse, screaming hysterically, "You're really mad! Lu Daoxing, you demon! You don't deserve to be human! You slaughter innocent people like this, and sooner or later you'll get what you deserve!"
"Retribution?", His voice was low, as if muttering to himself, "Perhaps there is."
At this moment, Jiang Yuanrui's brows furrowed slightly. There was a trace of confusion hidden within his terrified expression.
Lu Daoxing glanced at Jiang Yuanrui, expressionless.
He extended one hand, slightly spreading his fingers, then suddenly clenched it. Several ripples of blue fluorescence immediately spread through the air. The next moment, a corpse with its chest pierced through and covered in bloodstains slowly emerged from the distorted space, and Lu Daoxing grabbed it.
"Jiang Yuanrui, you've been chatting with me and stalling for time all this while. Are you waiting for him to make his move?"
Qin Siyang suddenly focused his eyes on it, his brows unconsciously furrowing, "Hm?"
He stared at the corpse in disbelief, 'Jiang Yuanfeng?'
'But isn't Jiang Yuanfeng still standing beside Jiang Yuanrui and Jiang Changqing?'
'If the corpse is Jiang Yuanfeng, then who is the one standing there?'
Qin Siyang quickly turned his head toward the "Jiang Yuanfeng" standing in place, trying to find the difference between the two.
But no matter how he looked, their appearances, builds, and even their details were exactly the same, without the slightest flaw.
Just as Qin Siyang was completely baffled, Jiang Yuanrui collapsed to the ground with a "thud."
He braced himself against the ground with both hands, his fingertips turning white from the force. His whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his pupils were filled with despair ten times greater than before.
"How…how is this possible? When did you make your move and kill my sixth brother?"
Lu Daoxing did not respond to Jiang Yuanrui's question. He simply waved his hand and threw the corpse in his hand away like a piece of trash.
"Psh!"
The corpse traced an arc through the air and slammed heavily into the still-standing "Jiang Yuanfeng" nearby.
That "Jiang Yuanfeng" seemed not to have expected to be hit. He did not dodge at all. But his body became unstable from the impact and suddenly fell backward.
The "Jiang Yuanfeng" who had been knocked down did not cry out or struggle.
Like mud that had lost its support, he collapsed down and silently transformed into a mass of blue liquid.
