Chapter 396 Prisoner of Fate

Standing in front of the collapsed ruins, everyone could not help but fall silent.

It can still shelter a broken home in a storm, but it cannot resist the smallest flame. The washed bleached clothes, the shaky old bed, the many-patched dolls. Everything was burned.

Dugu Bo, who was the most indifferent, moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but he swallowed it hard and couldn't say anything.

This is how the world is. Only the soul masters with power are qualified to judge fate.

And the ants who are not even soul masters and have no power at all, whether they are rich or poor, life and death, are actually all in the thoughts of the strong.

The strong trample on the weak, and the weak trample on the weaker, which is the truth of the world.

Could it be that someone would decide not to go out because of the fear of hurting ants?

No, even the most radical animal protection would not do so.

For example, in the original novel, when Tang Hao swung down the Clear Sky Hammer over Wuhun City, did he ever think about the innocent spectators watching the battle below for a moment before he attacked with all his strength?

It is precisely because of his so-called "heart of the strong" that he has become the current Clear Sky Douluo. Therefore, no matter which world he is in, in order to achieve his own goals, Tang Hao would not mind attacking ordinary people.

Just like in this world where Tang San and Yu Xiaogang only have a two-sided acquaintance, Tang Hao would choose to show off in the crowded Tiandou City to show Tang San the importance of his fist.

Of course he loves people, but first, he must define what a person is.

"See."

Seeing Ma Hongjun running away like crazy, Qin Mingguyou ignored him and followed him. Bai Lang, who had the opportunity to escape, chose to follow because of worry.

Facing the ruins, his eyes revealed sadness, and he slowly spoke: "The bright and beautiful Seaside City under the sun, its cruel true face."

"We have grown up eating the bones of our compatriots. If we don't resist, sooner or later, if we don't want to become the hyenas of the Qi family, we will die like them."

Without waiting for them to react, Bai Lang continued: "You don't have to leave. This is the poorest place in Seaside City. The hyenas in the City Lord's Mansion who are arrogant will not come here."

"By the way, the girl is not missing, but was taken away by the Qi family."

Leaving this sentence, Bai Lang turned and left, limping to the next battlefield.

Qin Ming turned his head and looked at his back, and he had no intention of taking action.

The problem is already very clear. The riot that took place today was not to seize power, but a forced struggle to survive.

Even the soul master group who makes money easily complained, and the quality of life of the larger number of civilians who can only make a living can be imagined.

Qin Ming himself is a commoner, otherwise he would not have studied at Shrek Academy.

In Qin Ming's view, they are just poor people who chose the latter between living a miserable life and dying gloriously.

Yes, of course they are poor people.

Soul Saints with martial souls and soul masters without martial souls are completely creatures living in two different worlds.

Seeing that no one wanted to stop him, Oscar couldn't help but say, "Hey, you will die."

"I know." Without looking back, Bai Lang waved his hand and said, "So what, if you don't die today, you will die tomorrow."

"You and the City Lord's Mansion can sit down and have a good talk."

"There's nothing to talk about. The last guy who thought they could talk has lost an eye and a leg."

"And now, he is our leader."

Boom!

The lightning that penetrated the sky and the earth illuminated the entire city. Fang Qi looked at the City Lord's Mansion in the distance and raised his hand to touch the eye mask.

Seeing this, Li Tian at the side asked with concern: "Does it still hurt?"

Fang Qi closed his remaining eye and nodded slightly: "Yeah."

To this day, he still can't forget that rainy night.

He once thought that he was a good brother with the same ideals, but he planned to rob his precious route, seized the organization he had worked hard to maintain, and even destroyed his body.

Every time he found that everything he was proud of had become a tool for others to monopolize and make profits, his heart couldn't stop bleeding.

"Let me see, isn't this Aqi?"

The closed door suddenly opened, and the silent guards filed out, then separated to both sides, revealing Qi Langhai at the end of the team.

He hurried and hurried through the secret passage and soon returned home smoothly. Then he heard from Qi Xiaofeng that all the defense lines arranged outside had been breached, and he led the soldiers out to meet the enemy without stopping.

Seeing that the visitor was his old acquaintance Fang Qi, he couldn't help but laugh.

Ignoring the rotten fish and shrimp behind him, Qi Langhai opened his arms, as if he had seen an old friend who had not seen him for many years, and welcomed him warmly: "After so many years, we thought you were dead."

"Why, you finally figured it out, are you willing to join us?"

"Asshole!"

Seeing one of the culprits who caused his once high-spirited uncle to fall into this world, Li Tian was instantly furious and couldn't help but want to hit him.

"Calm down."

Fang Qi was also angry, but his experience had long taught him to bury his anger deep in his heart. He grabbed Li Tian and threw him behind him, saying: "Yes, I'm back from hell."

For sailors who love the sea, a world without the ability to play games with the waves is tantamount to hell. The former captain of the Black Flag has lived in the dark hell for eight years.

But Qi Langhai is a sea spirit master and a noble, not a real sailor, he can't understand Fang Qi's anger now.

He smiled and waved his hands, saying: "How can it be hell? Although we took away your sea chart and sailor's home, and caused you to lose an eye and a leg, we didn't kill you."

Took the time to casually scan the circle, the dark crowd could not cause his expression to change at all. Finding that he couldn't even gather a handful of black spirit rings, Qi Langhai couldn't help laughing.

"Come on, Aqi, you don't think you can win, do you?"

Holding his stomach and laughing wildly, Qi Langhai wiped his face vigorously, "You and I are both Soul Emperors, you should be very clear about the strength of Soul Emperors, and even more aware of the horror of Soul Saints."

"How about this, I have a good suggestion."

Qi Langhai said: "You let them go home, and then come in with me. As long as they say a few good words to the eldest brother and give in, I promise that he will forgive the past, we will continue to be good brothers, and by the way, help your men find a good place."

"How about the Sailor's House, the organization you founded yourself, it is only natural for you to go back and take over."

" Ha. "With a disdainful sneer, Fang Qi's face changed and he cursed: "Go back? Go back and be your Qi family's dog? !"

"I shouldn't have agreed to let you get on my ship at that time. I was crazy to think that there were still good guys among the nobles!"

"Now, I must correct my past mistakes with my own hands."

Tearing off the eye mask on his face, a strange white light flashed in the depths of his empty eye sockets. Fang Qi shouted: "Jiyuan Walrus, possess."

A thick beard suddenly grew under his nose, and his body became bloated, forming a thick dark gray skin that was enough to withstand the high pressure of the deep sea. The teeth at the corners of his mouth extended vertically downward and then bent inward to become fangs.

Two yellow, two purple, and two black, six soul rings rose from the ground one after another, announcing that the Soul Emperor-level strongman officially joined the battlefield from this moment on.

Snap, snap, snap.

Noticing the flash of white light just now, Qi Langhai couldn't help but applaud and laugh: "So that's why you suddenly have the courage to come to us."

"What? It turns out that you got a rare head soul bone."

"That's right."

Because he was missing a leg, Fang Qi, who couldn't support his skyrocketing weight with only one leg, leaned over and lay on the ground, "I will use this soul bone given by my friend to kill you all."

"Why bother." Shaking his head helplessly, Qi Langhai sighed: "Silent Dog Shark, possessed."

Unlike Qi Tao who was in another battlefield, Qi Langhai's figure became more slender after the martial spirit possessed him, his abdomen was bright purple, and there was no exaggerated big mouth.

The six soul rings of the same color made Fang Qi, who had the soul bone, look serious.

"Don't worry,"

Qi Langhai grinned, revealing the dense and sharp teeth inside.

"Since we have known each other for many years, I will definitely make good use of this soul bone you sent me."

Bai Lang left, and Qin Ming didn't make a move in the end.

Taking a deep breath and slowly letting out the annoyance in his heart, he reached out and patted Ma Hongjun, who was hanging his head in front of the ruins, and said softly: "Let's go back."

Qin Ming's mind was still normal. From Ma Hongjun's performance just now, he could guess that this junior brother might have some connection with this family.

However, Qin Ming was not worried that Ma Hongjun would get angry because of this.

Soul masters and ordinary people are two completely different classes after all. When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. No matter if it's a good impression or anything else, a person is gone.

Time will heal all the pain.

"Well, let's go."

There was no reason to refuse. Ma Hongjun wiped the rain from the corners of his eyes and prepared to leave with everyone.

"Hey, that thin guy with red hair."

Just then, the door of the equally dilapidated house next to it suddenly opened, and an old man trembled out of it.

Glancing at the direction where Bai Lang left, and seeing that he didn't come back, the old man looked at the others with a wary look, and waved to Ma Hongjun: "Yes, that's right, it's you, come here."

"Me?"

Pointing at himself, seeing that the old man was determined, and Gu You and Qin Ming didn't show any opposition, Ma Hongjun trotted to the old man and asked: "Old man, what do you want to see me for?"

"Young man, take it back."

The withered hand took the initiative to hold Ma Hongjun, and before he could speak, he felt something extra in his palm.

Looking down, he found that two familiar gold soul coins wandered outside for a circle and returned to the owner's hand again.

"In order to treat the disease, their family can't have gold soul coins that they don't use." The old man smiled bitterly: "Juanjuan trusts you, you can take it back."

"Life is unpredictable, don't seek revenge, live well with her share."

With a sigh, after returning the two gold soul coins to Ma Hongjun, the old man trembled and returned to the room and closed the door, leaving him alone standing in the wind and rain.

Oscar, who was discussing with Qin Ming whether to go to the next town overnight or deal with it in the wild for one night, noticed that something was wrong with Ma Hongjun, and walked over and asked with concern: "Thin, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

A wisp of white smoke rose from the surface of the body, and an ominous black evil fire came out of the body. Ma Hongjun's eyes were dull, and he kept muttering: "I'm fine, I'm fine"

"Oh, it's over."

Oscar was startled by the black flames that he hadn't seen for a long time. He turned around and ran to Qin Ming, shouting: "Brother, Teacher Qin Ming, help me!"

"Hongjun, wake up!"

Qin Ming reacted in a timely manner. He immediately stepped forward to protect Oscar, who had almost no fighting ability, behind him, and tried to awaken Ma Hongjun's consciousness with his voice.

At the same time, he was also watching Ma Hongjun's every move with wary eyes, fearing that he would be stimulated and lose control of himself, and attack himself or those around him.

There were lessons learned from the past, and for the sake of his mentor and junior disciple, he also specially read the information and records about the fallen in the Tiandou Royal Academy.

Maybe it was good luck. The last time Ma Hongjun was affected by the evil fire, he still maintained a certain degree of rationality in his behavior and did not spray fire everywhere for no reason.

But most degenerates are not as lucky as Ma Hongjun. Once they degenerate, their behavior will change dramatically in an instant.

A gentle person will become ruthless, a compassionate person will ignore all suffering, and a person who is as restrained as an ascetic will suddenly live a luxurious and depraved life.

The above are all supported by actual cases, so he is worried about whether Ma Hongjun can stay awake this time.

if not

"Xiaoyou, do you still have any medicine on you?"

Seeing that the call had no effect, Qin Ming placed his hope on Gu You. As long as there is the medicine prepared by Tang San, it should be able to suppress the evil attributes in Ma Hongjun's body.

"Xiaoyou?"

Before waiting for Gu You's answer, Qin Ming looked sideways and saw Gu You walking up to Ma Hongjun without hesitation.

Then it was a slap in the face.

Snap! ! !

The force was very strong and the sound was clear. A big red handprint was clearly engraved on Ma Hongjun's face.

"Wake up, you idiot!"

Good news for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Seeing that Ma Hongjun didn't react, Gu You slapped him again with his backhand, directly helping him to achieve symmetry on both sides.

"Brother."

Ma Hongjun raised his head, and the confusion in his heart almost overflowed. He couldn't even say a smooth word: "That girl Wu Juanjuan. I gave her these two gold soul coins."

He stretched out his hand and showed Gu You the nearly half-melted pure gold soul coin in his hand: "She had too many opportunities to choose to leave."

"So what."

Gu You mercilessly slapped away his outstretched hand, and the half-molten gold coins fell into the water on the ground, cooling rapidly and solidifying into strange shapes.

"Fate has been determined. From the moment she didn't awaken her soul power and became a soul master, her beauty was destined to cause today's tragedy."

"So what if you leave Coastal City with two broken gold soul coins? If you go to other cities, will the nobles there be any better?"

"You are still too young." Gu You scolded in a tone of hatred: "An ordinary person who can be seen everywhere, will you protect her for the rest of your life?"

"Everything that happens in Beach City has nothing to do with us. Now, get out of here with us."

Gu You turned around and raised his hand to wave everyone away.

"No, I can't leave. I will definitely bring her back from Qi's house."

Ma Hongjun slowly raised his head, his refocused pupils flashing with firmness and cruelty.

"Or make them pay with blood."
