The Brutal Berserker Laughed Wildly, Telling Mei to Let Her Pain Out
In the scene, Kevin draws his longsword.
There was no earth-shattering power, nor any dazzling light.
But the moment the sword left the ground, the entire corridor seemed to freeze in the cold winter.
A layer of Ice Crystal appeared beneath Mei's feet, and the lightning that had just flashed was suppressed by the cold air.
"If you want to pass through here, prove your resolve."
Kevin raised his sword, the tip pointing at Mei.
It's not about proving you can win.
"It proves that even knowing the outcome, you will still continue."
Mei's gaze darkened.
The next moment, purple lightning exploded.
Her figure transformed into a streak of light, instantly covering a distance of ten zhang. The long saber clashed with the black longsword, the crisp sound of metal echoing through the corridor.
Boom!
Frost and lightning exploded simultaneously.
Kevin remained completely still.
Mei was knocked back several steps, her shoes leaving two deep marks on the ground.
"The difference in strength is too great." He Caitou gasped.
"But she didn't back down." Xiao Xiao stared nervously at the Light Screen.
Mei raised her sword again, and lightning surged wildly along the blade.
Kevin's gaze remained calm.
For whom?
Mei was taken aback.
"For the person who brought you here."
Kiana's image flashed through her mind.
"For her."
What if she doesn't need you?
"Then stand where she can't see you."
What if she chooses to be your enemy?
I will stop her.
"If the price for stopping her is that you kill her with your own hands?"
The purple lightning suddenly stopped.
The entire corridor seemed to have been paused.
Outside the Light Screen, Ning Rongrong subconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt.
Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yuena, and Gu Yuena also raised her eyes at that moment. Their eyes met briefly, and then they fell silent again.
Mei's hands were trembling.
But she still raised the knife in the end.
"If that was her real choice..."
The lightning reignited.
"I will do everything in my power to find another way before that happens."
Kevin looked at her, and for the first time, a subtle change appeared in his eyes.
That's not approval.
It's more like seeing someone who has already been lost through Mei.
"Very good."
He sheathed his sword.
You haven't reached the point where you have to make an answer yet.
The frost quickly dissipated, and the door at the end of the corridor slowly opened.
[Through the initial trials.]
[Gaining Kevin's attention.]
[The strongest warrior of the Previous Civilization has acknowledged your will.]
Xu Sanshi let out a long breath.
"I thought they were really going to fight until the heavens and earth collapsed."
Bei Bei shook her head.
"Truly powerful people often only need a single sentence to decide whether a battle continues."
"But why did Kevin let her go in the end?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"Because Mei didn't give a perfect answer," Tang San said. "She acknowledged that the future might be cruel, but she didn't give up searching for other possibilities. That wasn't blind optimism, but rather choosing to move forward even after sobering up."
Longbow Wei sighed softly.
"These are the kinds of people who are most likely to become the pillars of the times."
Lei Xiang frowned.
Even pillars get tired. If everyone places all their hopes on one person, that person will eventually be crushed.
After a long silence, A'Dai finally whispered, "That's why Kevin has become like this."
The scene changed again.
After passing through the long corridor, Mei arrived at a dimly lit hall.
The air was filled with a strong smell of rust.
The walls were covered in knife marks, and broken wine glasses and bloodstained chains were scattered on the floor. Deep in the hall, flames burned in the darkness, and a man sat before them.
He was shirtless, his muscles bulging like rocks, and dark red lines Entanglement around his neck and arms.
A huge battle axe lay horizontally in front of his knees.
The man had his head down, as if he were sleeping.
Until Mei stepped into the hall.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
Those eyes held no warmth of reason, only a chilling ferocity.
[Qian Jie.]
[One of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire.]
[A Berserker.]
[Untamable, and never accepting anyone's pity.]
"Ha ha..."
Qian Jie grinned, his laughter low and manic.
"Another one coming to die."
Mei raises her sword.
"I'm not here to die."
"That would be even more interesting."
Qian Jie grabbed his battle axe and slowly stood up.
In an instant, the flames in the entire hall surged simultaneously.
"Let me see what makes you think you can walk out alive!"
"This man's aura..." Hai Long's pupils contracted, "... is like a Ferocious Beast crawling out of hell."
"He doesn't have Kevin's restraint," Tian Hen frowned. "His power is completely exposed; he might not even be able to distinguish friend from foe."
"This isn't a loss of control over power," Ji Dong said in a deep voice, "But rather, he has willingly embraced his own madness."
Lie Yan looked at Qian Jie, his brows furrowing slightly.
"But beneath that madness, there seems to be a profound pain."
"Pain?" Xu Sanshi couldn't help but say, "All I saw was him trying to split the person in two."
"Some people cannot express their pain in words," Rong Nianbing said, "So they choose to make everyone feel their pain."
The Qian Jie Battle Axe has already fallen.
Boom!
Flames swept in like Tsunami.
Mei dodged, and the stone pillar behind her shattered instantly. Just as she was about to retaliate, Qian Jie rushed forward, his giant axe sweeping across, the violent force tearing through the lightning.
"Too slow!"
The second axe blow followed immediately.
Mei parried with the back of her knife, but was blasted away and crashed into the wall.
Qian Jie didn't stop; instead, he laughed even more excitedly.
"Stand up!"
"Didn't you want to become stronger?"
"If even I can't make it, how can we talk about protecting you!"
Mei wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and slowly stood up.
Lightning re-gathered on her.
Qian Jie stared at her, the madness in his eyes growing stronger.
"Yes, that's it."
Don't be afraid of getting hurt.
Don't be afraid of failure.
"Release everything that's ugliest, most painful, and that you most want to destroy from your heart!"
Mei did not answer.
She simply raised her knife, and lightning coalesced into a slender, sharp blade.
The next moment, lightning and Lie Yan collided in the center of the hall.
The roaring sound continued incessantly.
The Douluo Continent team was shaken to their core by that power.
The Dragon Prince murmured, "He seems to be searching for something during the battle."
The Dragon God's gaze was deep and profound.
It's not about winning or losing.
"It's to prove that I'm still alive."
Qian Jie fought with increasing ferocity, his wounds multiplying, yet he seemed completely oblivious to the pain.
Mei's lightning was repeatedly shattered, only to rekindle each time.
Finally, they both stopped at the same time.
Qian Jie ' battle axe rested on Mei's shoulder.
Mei's blade was pressed against his chest.
It was just an inch away from piercing the heart.
Qian Jie glanced down at the tip of the knife, then suddenly burst into laughter.
Why don't you stab me?
"Because you've already lost."
"I lost?"
Qian Jie's laughter abruptly stopped.
