Chapter 982 - 976: Crisis Descends
"Heh heh, discovered it? What a pity, today you’re destined to die. Don’t blame me; blame yourself for bringing along someone you shouldn’t have. Originally, our target was just Shen Qiaoqiao. Since you’ve brought yourself to me, let’s go down to the etherworld with Shen Qiaoqiao, at least you’ll have company."
This boatman cast a sinister glance over Lu Tianxing. Just as he finished speaking, he leapt forward, intending to jump into the river.
But would Lu Tianxing let him go?
Just as he was about to plunge into the water, Lu Tianxing stepped forward, punching the water’s surface directly.
"Boom!"
The water splashed everywhere like a bomb had exploded, sending countless water droplets flying. The force of his palm struck directly into the water’s depths.
When the water settled, the surface turned red with blood. The boatman’s corpse, who had just dived into the water, floated up along with the mud stirred up from the riverbed. His chest was sunken in, clearly killed by Lu Tianxing’s strike.
All of this happened in a flash, leaving Qiaoqiao completely petrified on the spot. It took her quite some time to regain her senses, a pale shade appearing on her pretty face: "Uncle, you killed someone, you killed someone."
Qiaoqiao looked up at Lu Tianxing, her face filled with fear, looking at him like a stranger, her eyes full of terror.
Seeing Qiaoqiao’s fearful expression, Lu Tianxing felt a bitter smile flash through his heart. He knew that perhaps his fate with Qiaoqiao was at an end. How could a girl who had lived in an ivory tower and never experienced darkness wish to be with an executioner with bloodstained hands?
