Chapter 1057 - 1055: Is It Something You Can Do? (4 more)
"It’s planted."
At the start of Su Chen and Yang Qi’s fierce battle, Hongying did not flee. She wanted to see Su Chen die right before her eyes.
Unfortunately, as the battle progressed, Yang Qi was completely suppressed by Su Chen. He had no ability to strike back, growing increasingly pathetic to the point where it seemed death was a possibility.
Hongying was genuinely frightened.
She no longer had the courage to keep watching and chose to flee outright.
When she fled, Su Chen did not stop her.
There were two reasons.
First, he was locked in a fierce battle with Yang Qi, unable to afford any distraction. Even the slightest loss of focus could decide the outcome of the fight.
Second, and most importantly, Hongying’s escape would inevitably lead her back to the Di Family, where Jiuyou would plant a Soul Imprint on her. This would expose both her and the Di Family’s location. In the future, when seeking revenge, Su Chen would know where the Di Family resided. Moreover, Su Chen was deeply, intensely interested in the Mother River of the Di Family. Therefore, keeping Hongying alive was more useful than killing her—she would serve as the guide. Besides, there would be plenty of opportunities to kill Hongying later.
"Then I’ll rest easy and take a nap now. I just hope I’ll wake up again later." Su Chen’s voice grew increasingly soft. Truth be told, although he had experienced self-destruction once before and returned to life as Undying and Indestructible, he couldn’t guarantee it would succeed every time.
