Chapter 1140: Duel

Chen Ling endured the headache caused by the chaotic thoughts just now and spoke directly to Xiaotao and the others:

"Come here... it's time for us to go."

Xiaotao turned her head blankly. Seeing the dense centipede legion around, she was first startled, but after seeing Chen Ling in the center, she was somewhat surprised and confused.

"Big Brother Chen Ling?"

"King Chen Ling came specifically to save us!" Xiaobai spoke up at the right time. "He chased us from thousands of miles away, killed the entire Jiangtian cult branch, and only then rescued us..."

As the centipede legion cleared a path, Xiaotao and the four others trotted to Chen Ling's side. But Chen Ling had no heart to explain too much to them and patted the small centipede beside him.

The small centipede immediately knelt respectfully, signaling that Xiaotao and the four others could sit on its back.

"Big Brother Chen Ling... this..."

"Sit on it, we need to go back quickly." Chen Ling's voice was very serious.

"Oh, okay!"

Although the centipede was ugly and ferocious, Xiaotao and the four others overcame their fear and sat on it.

Chen Ling also stepped onto the head of the large centipede, his tall figure standing in the dim light. The surrounding centipede legion turned direction, preparing to leave in the direction of the Fusion Faction...

"Wait!!"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

Chen Ling, standing on top of the skyscraper-like centipede, paused suddenly. With a slight movement of his mind, he made the centipede legion stop, then turned his head to look behind him...

Under the impact of the Calamity of Thought's thoughts, Chen Ling's consciousness was still somewhat chaotic, almost forgetting that Jian Changsheng and the others were also here.

Surrounded by the centipede legion, the red-clothed figure turned slowly:

"Why... do you need me to escort you back to the human domain?"

Jian Changsheng looked at Chen Ling's indifferent face, his fists clenching tighter.

He smashed a Jiangtian cult stone house beside him with one punch, veins bulging on his arms. He stared fixedly at Chen Ling, his voice extremely low:

"What kind of bullshit have you been spouting since just now... what isn't all fake, what let us see your true colors, taking advantage of our divine path being suppressed to act self-righteously and slaughter everyone, then turning around and leaving arrogantly...

Have you been in the Gray World so long that your brain has gone bad? Do you think this is cool?"

Sun Bumian, beside him, twitched his eyelids and nudged Jian Changsheng silently, whispering:

"If you have something to say, say it nicely..."

"How am I not saying it nicely? Look at him, does he look like he treats us as brothers?!" Jian Changsheng turned to look at Chen Ling, seemingly angered by everything just now.

"What? You learned a bit of the Calamity of Mockery's stuff and don't consider yourself human anymore??

We were exhausted to death saving you in the Infinite Domain, even my pendant was... and you just patted your butt and left without a word. What are we in your eyes?? Trash to be discarded when useless, and brothers when useful?!"

Chen Ling stood on the centipede's head, looking at the furious Little Jian, his eyes narrowing slightly:

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"What do I want to say? You're the one who should give us an explanation!!"

"You chased all the way here just to ask me for an explanation?"

"That's right!!" Jian Changsheng broke free from Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua's hands and walked forward a few steps. "I want you to give an explanation. If you can't, then admit your mistake properly! Say you shouldn't have left without saying goodbye!

Then, come back with us. As for your grudge with that old bastard Red King, we can bear it together. If we have to curse, we curse; if we have to fight, we fight; if we have to rebel, we rebel! Anyway, you're not the only one who wants an explanation from him."

Sun Bumian nodded frantically.

Chen Ling looked at Jian Changsheng and fell silent.

What Jian Changsheng was truly angry about was his leaving without saying goodbye. Regarding this point, Chen Ling actually had nothing to argue... The 6-rankers had saved him with such effort in the Infinite Domain, yet he had left without even a greeting. It was indeed his fault.

Jiang Xiaohua didn't care about these things, and Sun Bumian's personality was lazy, but Jian Changsheng was quite stubborn... If he couldn't swallow his anger, he would charge forward until he got an answer.

"Big Brother Chen Ling..."

Xiaotao and the others looked at this scene blankly. Although they didn't know who Jian Changsheng and the others were, they knew these people wanted to take Chen Ling away, and their eyes were filled with worry.

Chen Ling knew very well that he couldn't go back to the human domain. His identity as a Calamity of Mockery, his learning in the Fusion Faction, and what he had just seen... He had too many things left unresolved here.

"...I won't go back with you." Chen Ling spoke slowly.

Hearing this answer, Jian Changsheng was silent for a long time, then gave a bitter smile.

He didn't seem surprised.

He continued to walk forward, picked up a sharp stone from the ground, and slowly cut his wrist...

"Spade, what are you doing?" Jiang Xiaohua exclaimed and was about to step forward to stop him.

But the next moment, Sun Bumian tugged on his sleeve.

"Did you forget? He wants to duel Heart."

"But..."

Sun Bumian shook his head at him, and Jiang Xiaohua stopped his steps, silently turning to look ahead.

"Before I came, I guessed you would say that." Jian Changsheng said lightly.

"You are Heart 6, you are Chen Ling... You are such a proud person, how could you easily go back after being schemed against by the Red King... But it doesn't matter.

Whether you consider yourself a human or a calamity, no matter what you are, as long as I can beat you, I can shatter your self-righteous pride and your inexplicable sensitivity...

Come on,

Don't you think you're scary and powerful after Calamity-izing?

I will step on you and prove that those things of yours... are worth nothing!"

Scarlet blood dripped, forming a pool of blood on the ground, and also staining a hint of red in Jian Changsheng's eyes...

The next moment, terrifying killing intent surged from Jian Changsheng's body!

Domain, [Avici Purgatory].

Chen Ling stood on top of the centipede, looking down as the killing intent spread frantically with Jian Changsheng as the center. The pressure of the peak fifth rank swept over, and his gaze gradually became solemn.

"Are you serious?"

A black killing intent divine ring was outlined behind Jian Changsheng. He grabbed into the void, pulled a blood-colored longsword from the killing intent, and towering killing intent swirled around him.

Jian Changsheng didn't speak.

His actions were the best answer.

Dim starlight reflected in Chen Ling's scarlet eyes, as if covered with a layer of white frost. He didn't say anything more but stepped off the centipede's head.

"Just breaking through one rank has made your ego swell quite a bit..."

"Fine, I will let you realize once again... just how big the gap between us is."

The bright red theatrical robe danced wildly in the killing intent. Red paper giant pythons extended from beneath the hem of the robe, like the tentacles of a monster, spreading in all directions...
