Chapter 203: A Person Dies Like a Light Goes Out

…

Almost at the same time when Zhu Xiyu reached her peak, a gaze of anger and indifference flashed in Lei Qing’s eyes. Admittedly, Dongfang Si’s mature and charming, almost perfect body had been very enjoyable for him.

But if this woman were not eliminated, even if he survived this crisis, his life would be filled with extreme unease. Everything he did was solely for the sake of survival. Under Lei Qing’s attack, which was as fierce as a storm, Dongfang Si was pushed to the extreme by massive waves again. Never before had there been a moment as indulgent and refreshing as this one, making her so joyful that she would rather die.

Lei Qing slowly raised his palm. Sensing this, Dongfang Si thought Lei Qing wanted to slap her buttocks again. She did not use her Fighting Qi to resist, because the stinging pain brought her feelings of desire and anticipation. In fact, even before Lei Qing’s palm fell, she could feel a slight heat on her buttocks, writhing in greater joy.

However, this slap of Lei Qing’s was unusual. It contained intense Heavenly Thunder Fighting Qi. To ensure a hit, for this only opportunity, Lei Qing dared not be careless in the slightest.

The Heavenly Thunder Fighting Qi in his Qi Sea burned fiercely, concentrating into this one palm, and he ruthlessly and mercilessly slapped it onto the spine at her waist.

Dongfang Si was indeed a Holy Rank power house. Even in this dazed state, when Lei Qing’s palm was about to hit her skin, her skin felt like it was pricked by needles. She instantly became alert, and her metallic Fighting Qi in her Qi Sea instinctively expanded outward.

But all she could do was stop there. Even if her reaction was faster, she could not form a complete protective shield outside her body. That incomplete protective shield was smashed to pieces by Lei Qing’s fierce palm force.

The powerful Heavenly Thunder Fighting Qi exploded into her body. It shattered her spine, and the shockwave penetrated through. With a loud bang, it struck her Qi Sea violently inside.

For cultivators, the most important place is the Qi Sea. Once the Qi Sea is destroyed, a person becomes useless. The spine is also a very important nerve hub in the human body. Once broken, even those who have cultivated successfully find it extremely difficult to recover. At the very least, they would lose their ability to resist on the spot.

He had not hit a vital part like her head or heart directly. It was not because Lei Qing was merciful and did not want her to die. Rather, hitting such places meant that if he failed to kill her instantly, as long as her powerful Fighting Qi remained, she might instantly counterattack and kill him.

The position Lei Qing hit now, regardless of how effective this sneak attack was, would to some extent greatly reduce her current combat power. This was also why Lei Qing wanted her to lie on her stomach.

Obviously, the effect of Lei Qing’s move was excellent. The rupture of her Qi Sea caused her Fighting Qi to scatter. And the broken spine caused her to lose control of her lower body.

It was only because she was a Holy Rank powerhouse that she survived Lei Qing’s blow. Otherwise, she would have died. Dongfang Si let out a miserable scream, which made people’s ears numb and their hearts cold.

Zhu Xiyu, filled with horror, suddenly opened her eyes. She was stunned when she saw the unbearable scene. Dongfang Si was spitting blood and had collapsed on the ground. Her eyes stared at Lei Qing with extreme fear and malice: “You, you, how did you recover your Fighting Qi?”

She had been too confident in her own strength. She fully believed that the power sealing Lei Qing could, at the very least, prevent him from breaking free for two hours. But now, from start to finish, it had not even taken half an hour.

There was no sense of triumph on Lei Qing’s face. Instead, a trace of deep sorrow passed by. He sighed and said, “Dongfang Si, I have always been a man who appreciates beauty and never used such cruel methods against a woman. But you, you really forced me to use a method that I myself find shameful to eliminate you.”

Zhu Xiyu originally thought she was done for today, but she never expected that things would change so drastically. In her shock, she saw that Qing’er was completely naked, with his male organ standing proudly and majestically between his legs. It was unbearable to look at. Immediately, she was overcome with shame and closed her eyes. She wanted to tell him to put on clothes, but she was afraid of startling him and making him discover the changes in her own body. For a moment, she did not know what to do.

But that brief glance, Lei Qing’s body had been deeply engraved in her mind like a brand. The more she tried to forget, the more she found she could not. It kept appearing in her mind.

Hearing Lei Qing’s words, Dongfang Si’s expression slowly calmed down amidst her physical pain, and she couldn’t help but laugh: “Lei Qing, oh Lei Qing, I never expected that I, Dongfang Si, would ultimately fall into your hands. Good, good! Kill me. Anyway, for someone like me, living in this world is just a pain.”

If he stood in her shoes, Lei Qing could slightly understand her feelings. Indeed, she had given everything for her Big Brother, Dongfang Cangqiong. It could be imagined that at that time, she felt how humiliated she was, yet felt willing to do anything as long as it was good for her brother, becoming extremely pure and holy. Even if it meant becoming a Poisonous Widow feared by everyone and cursed by the world for Dongfang Cangqiong’s sake, she was not unwilling.

Unfortunately, her sincere heart was met with ruthless betrayal. That betrayal plunged her into extreme pain, and she constantly degraded herself to make Dongfang Cangqiong feel embarrassed and painful, to exchange for a slight sense of balance in her heart.

From a certain point of view, this Dongfang Si was originally a woman who valued relationships to the extreme. Lei Qing also felt quite sympathetic towards her.

Unfortunately, sympathy is sympathy. This woman had to be killed; otherwise, it would be an absolute disaster for Lei Qing. Lei Qing sighed slightly and said, “Dongfang Si, you are indeed a person with a bitter fate, but many things cannot be blamed on others. They are sins you created yourself. Alright, alright. Before you die, I will tell you a piece of good news to give you some peace of mind. Your son, Zhen Jimu, is living very happily and freely in our Yehe Town. He is gradually transforming into a real man.”

As Lei Qing spoke, he gave several examples of Zhen Jimu.

With her spine broken and her Qi Sea shattered, such painful and despairing situation, her face was calm as water. She listened carefully to Lei Qing’s words, as if she had a slight realization. She shook her head and sighed lightly, saying, “Alas, I suffered too much hardship when I was young, so I could not bear for Jimu to suffer even a little. Lei Qing, you are right. A boy needs hardships to temper himself so that he can gradually mature and become a man who stands firm in the world. Lei Qing, I thank you for this. Please do not tell Jimu that I died at your hands. In the future, please take good care of him for me. I have paid you already.”

As people approach death, their words tend to be kind. Dongfang Si felt that her life was reaching its end. Before that, many things she could not let go of and cared about suddenly seemed not so important. It turned out that dying was quite happy. At least, those things that tormented her heart would disappear. Love, hate, passion, vengeance, resentment. Of all these, everything she had struggled with, what meaning would it have after death?

“Dongfang Si, actually, I get along quite well with Jimu.” Lei Qing smiled calmly: “Rest assured, I will treat him like my own brother. If you have any last words, feel free to say them. For the sake of Jimu, I will help you handle them appropriately. After I finish speaking, I will send you on your way.”

Dongfang Si frowned slightly, opened her mouth, and her mind was filled with countless threads. It seemed she had countless words to say. However, the words stuck in her throat, and she felt that those words had no meaning? What if she couldn’t let go? Even if she couldn’t let go, what then? A person dies like a light goes out. Any matter that cannot be let go must be let go.

Thinking for a moment, Dongfang Si slowly shook her head and said, “No more. Do it.” She slowly closed her eyes. Suddenly, she did not know why, but she wanted to apologize to Zhu Xiyu. However, she did not speak, because that seemed somewhat like begging for mercy. Even now, her heart was still proud. Even if she died, she wanted to die with some dignity.

Vaguely, she still had some anticipation for death. After dying, there would be complete liberation. At this moment, her mind began to wander like recalling memories. Countless memories, deep or shallow, flowed through her mind like a slideshow. The innocence of childhood, the humiliation that made her angry, her brother’s protection, her attachment and admiration for her brother. For her brother, she was willing to suffer the greatest humiliation for a girl without regret. Countless cruelties, countless unscrupulous means, plunged her into hell, deeper and deeper. But her brother was always a beacon for her. Shining from afar, keeping her from falling completely. Until her brother’s delay and betrayal plunged her into endless sinking.

Her mind was filled with thoughts of punishing her brother’s betrayal, and all she thought about was how to make her brother return to her side. At the beginning, until this moment before death, she seemed to finally understand. What she gave to Dongfang Cangqiong was only making him afraid and terrified. Zhu Xiyu’s gentleness and kindness stood in sharp contrast to her viciousness.

As Lei Qing said, any man would make the same choice.

“In your next life, be reborn well and be a happy woman.” Lei Qing did not say “be a good woman.” With a somewhat heavy expression, he slapped her chest.

“Qing’er, no.” At this critical moment, Zhu Xiyu finally could no longer keep silent. She cried out urgently.

Startled in his heart, Lei Qing slapped nearby with a “smack.” His face showed panic. He had forgotten. He had actually performed an extremely obscene live act with Dongfang Si right in front of his Godmother? Oh my god, had he really done that?
