"Grandpa... Grandpa!"
Looking at the lifeless old man, Xiao Gu Gongming cried out in anguish, while the driver who hit them stood aside, anxiously making a phone call.
But he didn't call 120 (emergency services).
" Old Liu, I'm in trouble! I accidentally bumped into someone, so you need to figure out a way to smooth things over right away!"
Gu Gongming stood in the crowd of onlookers, staring wide-eyed at everything like a statue.
"An illusion...?"
"How despicable... trying to ensnare me like this."
As a member of the [Godslaying] Squad, he immediately realized that this unusual scene was an illusion created by the other party.
Even though Gu Gongming knew it was an illusion, boundless anger still rose within him, and his clenched fists cracked.
The next moment, he rushed out and punched the driver in the face, which was repulsive.
Bang!
His obese body tumbled and flew backward, crashing heavily in front of the luxury car and shattering the window.
Blood-stained shards of glass were scattered inside the car, where bottles of liquor still lay.
Gu Gongming's eyes were bloodshot. He stared fiercely at the unconscious driver, then turned to look at his childhood self who was still crying, and at the old man who had raised him despite not being related to him by blood.
Because of this...
Gu Gongming was found by his biological parents by a twist of fate. Although he already had an older brother and sister, Gu Gongming was not well received in the family.
Compared to before, the life of not having enough to eat every day is much better, and through this family, his talents have been successfully brought to fruition.
He rose from a company that his older siblings disliked and that was on the verge of bankruptcy to become a business tycoon, and now holds a position second only to the emperor.
But...
If he had a choice, Gu Gongming would rather continue living a simple life with the old man who took him in when he was a child and was starving than become the big boss he is now.
His thoughts drifted, and before he knew it, the surrounding scenery had changed again.
When he came to his senses, he found himself sitting at a wooden table.
Suddenly, his clothes became loose. Looking down, he realized that his once expensive suit had turned into a loose and casual short-sleeved shirt.
Looking around, I found myself in an ordinary room, filled with the aroma of food.
Just as he was wondering, an old but powerful voice came from the kitchen in front of him.
" Mingming! Come help me!"
Upon hearing the sound, Gu Gongming was startled and unconsciously stepped into the kitchen.
Inside, an elderly man with a hunched back was busy in the kitchen. Even though Gu Gongming was prepared, he still couldn't help but tremble when he saw him.
"You brat! Are you trying to kill me with your energy? What are you standing there for?!"
"Understood, old man!"
Gu Gongming replied almost instinctively, which surprised even himself.
But the old man seemed to have gotten used to grumbling and swearing while waiting for help.
Gu Gongming quickly stepped forward to help him prepare the food, then placed it on the table, ready to eat.
The old man held a pair of chopsticks, which he used like a spatula to keep piling meat into his bowl, and then frantically stuffed rice into his mouth.
He looked completely different from his previous aged and decrepit appearance.
" Mingming, what are you standing there for? Eat!"
As he said this, he kept snatching meat from the dishes, acting like a vicious dog guarding its food.
"You old geezer! You haven't eaten meat in your lives! Leave me some!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his chopsticks and started to snatch the meat from the old man.
Two pairs of chopsticks danced and collided wildly on the table, like two ronin sparring.
Although he appeared extremely angry on the surface, Gu Gongming felt an unprecedented sense of peace and joy inside.
Just as he was enjoying every second of the moment, a crisp sound of shattering glass rang in his ears.
Click--
With that sound, several huge cracks appeared in everything before their eyes, as if glass were shattering.
The next second, everything changed and fragments scattered in front of me.
Gu Gongming's eyes trembled slightly as he saw the desolate plain around him and the expensive suit he was wearing. His hand, which had been holding food in his chopsticks, slowly lowered.
"Oh dear, Gu Gongming ~ How come you've been controlled by a little kid's hallucination for so long~"
Brown, hands in his pockets, cheekily leaned closer and said, "Hey?!"
You cried!
Seeing the glistening glint in Gu Gongming's eyes, Brown felt as if he had discovered a rare treasure and quickly took out his phone to snap photos.
"Hehe, I'm going to set this photo as my phone wallpaper!"
"Get lost!"
Gu Gongming cursed angrily, quickly wiped his eyes, then straightened his posture and straightened his tie.
"If I want to leave this illusion, I can do it anytime. I just want to catch up with some of the deceased."
"Okay, okay~ If you say so, then it is~"
Although Brown said this, the knowing look on his face had already revealed his true thoughts.
A vein bulged on Gu Gongming's forehead, but he didn't want to continue talking about it and turned to look around.
The child who had dragged himself into the illusion was now kneeling on the ground, clutching his head and suffering from a splitting headache, probably due to an overload of mental energy.
Bai Yu also knelt on the ground, his spear stuck in front of him, and a smooth, blood-drenched arm lay beside him.
With his other hand, he tightly covered the severed arm where blood was constantly seeping out.
You don't even need to look to know it's Brown's work.
As for the members of the Light God Society are still able to fight, there is Chi Jiu, who keeps bombarding the enemy with fireballs in the air.
And on the other side, Ye Qing was fighting Lei Yong in a devastating battle.
" Variant at the ' Immortal ' realm is indeed difficult to deal with. I'll leave that beast to you, Captain. You go and help the Vice-Captain."
OK~
Brown waved casually and walked towards Lei Yong with a swagger.
At this moment, both Brown and the others understood who the real victor would be.
The initial seriousness and tension had long since vanished from his face.
Seeing Brown slowly walking over, Ye Qing, who had already been suppressed, suddenly lifted up.
After glancing at the horrific scene around him, his mind began frantically analyzing the situation and deciding on the next course of action.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and Lei Yong.
Before Lei Yong could press his advantage, Ye Qing held the blade horizontally above his head, the soaring killing intent turning the entire dim sky a dark purple.
This scene drew the attention of everyone present.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Just as Brown was exclaiming with his mouth agape, he suddenly felt as if he were being locked onto by something dangerous.
A breath of crimson gas escaped Ye Qing's mouth, and the veins on his body bulged out suddenly.
" The Nine Forms of the Blade School... The Tenth Form! Ghost Purple Intestine!"
