Zhong Kui's Diary
The Flower Attacker's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity as he lightly scolded, waving his hands to send two beams of golden light shooting towards my chest. At the same time, he lowered his shoulders and slid back, preparing to dodge. As long as I threw the golden ball, he would evade it.
Indeed, as long as he did not make contact with the golden ball, the Mystical Realm's Restrictions would be useless.
Seeing the Flower Attacker like this, I understood his thoughts. Hey, you want to dodge? No way! Even if I die, I'm taking you down with me. Gritting my teeth, I leaped slightly; this way, the two beams aimed at my chest could only hit my thighs. Although being hit in the thighs would hurt a lot, at least it wouldn't be fatal.
With two sharp sounds, pain shot through my thighs as if two sharp knives had been plunged directly into them. It hurt! It really hurt! Damn it, it hurt! In an instant, tears streamed down my face.
I couldn't even wipe away my tears as I dove down like a hawk pouncing on a rabbit, with the Book of Life and Death in my left hand and the Blazing Barrier in my right. I struck down with both hands while shouting, "Burn, Firebird!"
At this moment, it was impossible for the Flower Attacker to retreat. He had only two choices: first, to sidestep to my left and deflect my left hand; second, to sidestep to my right and deflect my right hand. No matter which side he chose to sidestep to and deflect my hand, he would have to make contact with me once. As long as there was contact, I could use either the Book of Life and Death or the Blazing Barrier on him.
I refused to believe I couldn't take you down.
The Flower Attacker clearly hesitated for a moment; he seemed torn between countering the Book of Life and Death or facing the Blazing Barrier. Ultimately, he leaned to his right and reached out to deflect my right hand. It appeared he chose to face the Blazing Barrier once more.
As soon as the golden ball's mist touched the Flower Attacker's arm, it extinguished immediately. Clearly, he had once again broken through the Blazing Barrier's Restrictions. At that moment, the Flower Attacker spat out a mouthful of blood and kicked me in the chest with gritted teeth. It felt like being hit by a dump truck; I flew back seven or eight meters and landed on the ground with a thud. For a moment, I couldn't get up; both the golden ball and the Book of Life and Death slipped from my hands. The Book of Life and Death floated slowly in mid-air while the golden ball rolled away over ten meters.
"Damn!" The Flower Attacker patted his chest and gasped for breath. "That was close... you almost killed me. You think you're so tough? Come at me again."
I was also gasping heavily, struggling to prop myself up with my arms. Even doing that required me to brace myself against the ground to avoid falling over. I managed to say between breaths, "You're tough... you're tough alright. Come over... try... try it! See if I don't... don't kill you."
The Flower Attacker chuckled lightly, took a deep breath, and surprisingly ignored me as he staggered towards the Satellite.
At this point, I couldn't stop him; even standing up was difficult for me. Looking around, Kong Xuan and Xiao Da Ye were both lying on the ground unconscious. Only a group of warriors stared blankly at the surreal scene unfolding before them. In a panic, I shouted at those warriors, "Fire! Fire now!"
Only then did their captain snap back to reality and order them to open fire. Except for those guarding Hua Wuqiu, all other warriors aimed their weapons at the Flower Attacker and pulled the trigger.
Gunshots rang out, bullets flying everywhere. This time, the illusion of the Flower Attacker seemed to weaken; as the bullets passed through his body, he showed clear signs of pausing and trembling.
"Keep going!" I shouted.
There was no need for me to urge them; the warriors had no intention of stopping their fire.
The Flower Attacker spat out another mouthful of blood, his movements becoming increasingly sluggish. By the end, he was moving almost frame by frame, as if in slow motion.
Despite this, he was getting closer to the Satellite. At this point, some warriors had started to change magazines, and the firepower slightly diminished. The Rain of Swords Formation in the Flower Attacker's hand was now less than a foot away from the slot.
"Let me handle it!" Just when I was at a loss, an Ancient Voice rang out. Turning around, I saw Xiao Da Ye struggling to stand up, and my heart eased a bit.
Although Xiao Da Ye was severely injured, the Flower Attacker was hurt even more. If Xiao Da Ye made a desperate move now, he might be able to kill the Flower Attacker outright. But that was only a possibility; what if he failed? What if the Flower Attacker managed to place the formation into the Satellite? Right, I wondered if that formation could be destroyed? Unable to hold back, I shouted, "Grandpa, can you destroy that formation directly?"
"Destroy it? That’s no problem!" Xiao Da Ye paused for a moment before nodding with a smile.
"You all aim at that Purple Sphere and fire," I turned and shouted at the warriors.
Before my words had even faded, a beam of yellow light flashed and struck the Flower Attacker in the head. In an instant, his head exploded into fragments. After a brief moment, his body crashed down, still tightly gripping the Rain of Swords Formation.
What on earth was that? A Spell or a Gatling Gun? Just as I was about to praise Xiao Da Ye, I noticed he was staring blankly at the corpse of the Flower Attacker, his face filled with astonishment.
"What’s wrong? Grandpa... Xiao Da Ye?" I laughed and said, "Are you not satisfied with your own shot?"
Xiao Da Ye replied in surprise, "I haven't even made a move yet!"
"Huh? If it wasn't you, then who could it be?" I was even more astonished.
Xiao Da Ye's gaze swept over everyone before finally resting on the mysterious woman: "Who are you? You must be the one who struck him down."
I suddenly shouted, "How is that possible? She is Master Lin of Dominion Villa! Grandpa, she is a bad person!"
The mysterious woman nodded and smiled lightly, "That's right, I am indeed Master Lin of Dominion Villa!"
At this statement, everyone was in an uproar. The warriors aimed their guns at the mysterious woman, ready to fire at her with just a command.
The mysterious woman showed no signs of fear and smiled slightly, "Finally got rid of this disgrace. I thank you all on behalf of the villa!"
"What do you mean?" I asked with a furrowed brow.
The mysterious woman slowly removed her mask, revealing a familiar face that I never expected to see.
This person turned out to be Gao Youdi, the Daoist Priestess I had seen in Black Mountain Ancient Prison.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "Youdi, you are Gao Youdi!"
Before I could finish my sentence, a sharp pain struck my abdomen, and I collapsed to the ground, clutching my stomach. After struggling for a while, I finally regained my senses. Damn it, I hate Heartbreaking Love Flower.
Gao Youdi smiled apologetically, "That's right, I am the one hundred sixty-seventh descendant of the Gao Family, Gao Youdi, and also the second Master Lin of Dominion Villa."
I finally managed to stand up with difficulty. At that moment, Xiao Da Ye had also awakened Kong Xuan. Six warriors were controlling Sha Monk and the others while the remaining warriors pointed their guns at Gao Youdi. The situation was very favorable for us. So, I wasn't afraid of any tricks from Gao Youdi and asked, "What did you mean by that earlier?"
"Our Gao Family has always been working secretly for the country. This Ninth Research Institute was entrusted to my grandfather Gao Jianfeng by the great leader who founded the country to manage. Unfortunately, our Gao Family has always been short on manpower, and my parents have been missing for many years. We simply didn't have enough people to work with, so we called upon our branch family—the Flower Family—to help." Gao Youdi sighed and continued, "Because of this, I brought wolves into my home. This Flower Attacker not only imprisoned my grandfather but also used his life to coerce me into doing various things. The Rain of Swords Plan was actually orchestrated entirely by the Flower Attacker."
The three of us exchanged glances; this was just too dramatic!
"Regardless, it’s a perfect ending now. The Rain of Swords Plan ends here, and our Gao Family will not bear any blame for the Flower Attacker's misdeeds," Gao Youdi said while pointing at the corpse of the Flower Attacker on the ground and the Rain of Swords Formation in his hand. With a bitter smile, she added, "I just hope you all won't vent your resentment on Dominion Villa; my employees are innocent. Everything was orchestrated by the Flower Attacker."
Hearing what Gao Youdi said made me feel something was off, but I couldn't pinpoint it. My eyes wandered around until I saw Hua Wuqiu looking at Gao Youdi in confusion.
A tightness gripped my heart. This girl must be feeling terrible right now. First, she witnessed Gao Youdi kill Flower Attacker, and then she heard that Flower Attacker had imprisoned Gao Youdi's grandfather. She was aware of all these ridiculous events; no matter how they were related, it was still a family feud. It was no surprise that she felt awful.
Everyone fell silent, and finally, Kong Xuan spoke up in a low voice, "Since that's the case, let's all step back. How this is handled will depend on the higher-ups; we have no say in this matter."
Indeed, this involved the entire research institute, and it concerned the lives and livelihoods of hundreds or even thousands of people. We had no authority to dictate their fate; everything awaited the higher-ups' decision.
"Can I take Flower Attacker's corpse with me? After all, we are relatives. I want to bring his body back to give my parents a proper explanation," Gao Youdi suddenly pointed at Flower Attacker's body.
"Yes, that's fine." I knew that Gao Youdi had a Spatial Bag, so I nodded and didn’t pursue the matter further. I called over two soldiers to help support Xiao Da Ye and Kong Xuan. I casually asked Xiao Da Ye if he could help me remove the Heartbreaking Poison of Love. He smiled and patted my shoulder before leaving.
What a difference! The Heartbreaking Love Flower poison that had me suffering was just a matter of a shoulder pat for a Grandmaster Level expert.
My mood instantly brightened. Just as I was about to ask Xiao Da Ye to retrieve Guo'er’s body, I unexpectedly turned my gaze toward Hua Wuqiu. I saw Gao Youdi walk over to Hua Wuqiu, pat her shoulder, offer some words of comfort, and then both of them approached Flower Attacker.
As Gao Youdi bent down to seemingly place Flower Attacker into her Spatial Bag, an unexpected event occurred. Gao Youdi actually picked up the Rain of Swords Formation from the ground and swiftly inserted it into the Satellite's slot. Then she pressed a button on the Satellite, transforming the deep purple Ball of Rain of Swords Formation into a card format. With a ding sound, the slot retracted into the Satellite, and a ripple resembling water spread across the Satellite's surface, emitting an orange-yellow glow.
In an instant, everyone stood in shock. Then Kong Xuan shouted frantically, "Damn! She's a fraud! She activated the formation!"
