Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1179: Perish Together

Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179: Perish Together

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

Qing Xun and Qing Rouhen, eyes red with tears, cried out as they rushed towards the spot where Mrs. Ying had self-destructed.

Unfortunately, by the ti they arrived, the magic energy wave had dissipated, and the red smoke dispersed with the wind. There was only a large crater where Mrs. Ying had once stood.

Apart from that, no traces remained, not even a single strand of hair.

"Brother..." Qing Rouhen collapsed into Qing Xun’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Qing Xun held Qing Rouhen tightly, closing his eyes in agony, as two silent tears fell down his face.

Seeing no one was paying attention to him, Hong Ji climbed up from the ground, trying to escape amidst the chaos. After taking only a few steps, his path was blocked by a woman dressed in black.

"Where are you going?" Qin Sisi’s eyes were cold, her face as frosty as ice.

Hong Ji shuddered in fear, forcing a smile as he replied nervously, "Miss, your third brother and sister-in-law died so tragically, I just wanted to collect their bodies to let them be at peace."

"You should worry about yourself first!" Qin Sisi said coldly. With a blurred figure, she appeared in front of Hong Ji, and with a fierce thrust of both palms, she struck hard at his abdon before he could even defend himself.

"No!" Hong Ji let out a miserable cry, his aura quickly wilting, and the excruciating pain made his body curl up, trembling uncontrollably.

"Speak, what benefits did Tian Xiaozi offer you?" Qin Sisi asked harshly.

She could have killed Hong Ji outright, but she chose to only destroy his magic source first, intending to interrogate him about his negotiations with Tian Xiaozi to gather more information.

Hong Ji’s lips turned black, and he trembled, unable to speak.

Just as Qin Sisi was about to ask again, Qing Xun suddenly leapt over like the wind and struck a devastating blow to Hong Ji’s head.

Hong Ji’s head exploded instantly, killing him on the spot.

Qin Sisi was montarily stunned, then looked up at Qing Xun, whose eyes were blood-red with rage, clearly unable to control his emotions.

Yet, after killing Hong Ji, Qing Xun’s face showed sorrow again, and he staggered back, his eyes vacant, tear stains dotted on his face.

"Brother Qing Xun." Jing Jing rushed by Qing Xun’s side, supporting him, her face full of urgent concern.

anwhile, Yun Wang stood vigilantly by Qing Rouhen’s side, always the most dependable escort.

"Big brother." A sorrowful voice echoed, and sohow, Qing Pu was already standing in front of them.

Qing Xun turned to look at him, greatly cherishing this cousin as if he were his own brother, always sharing his best with him.

It’s a pity that even though they were blood-related cousins, they were destined never to be true brothers.

Qing Pu suddenly knelt before Qing Xun, speaking softly and deliberately, "Big brother, my father was greedy for power and took the position of clan leader that should have been yours. He conspired with Tian Xiaozi to rebel, betrayed the Jiuxi Royal Family, and poisoned you to seize the divine artifact. He indeed deserves to die."

Looking at Qing Pu, Qing Xun felt a deep sorrow. This cousin was pitiable too; no one chooses their birth.

Qing Xun’s greatest pride was having parents who were pure and honest. Yet, Qing Pu would forever suffer due to his father’s actions.

Qing Xun walked over and helped Qing Pu up, suppressing his inner pain, and spoke in an exceptionally gentle voice, "Let the past be the past. I hope you recognize right from wrong and do things beneficial to the Zhulu family to make up for your father’s mistakes."

Qing Pu’s eyes also reddened, and he choked as he said, "Big brother, no matter the wrongs of my father, he is still my father. As his son, I must avenge him."

By the ti Qing Xun heard the resentnt in Qing Pu’s words, it was too late; Qing Pu had already embraced him firmly.

Though Qing Pu was rely at the level of a magic spirit, naturally no match for Qing Xun, who was at the peak of the Magic God, Mrs. Ying’s self-destruction had inspired him. It seed to be the only way for him to harm Qing Xun.

Magic power was quickly gathered, Qing Pu felt his body getting increasingly hot, desperately holding onto Qing Xun, a triumphant smile touched his lips.

Big brother, you’ve always been my role model, my idol ever since I was a child. Whenever I failed in practicing magic skills, my parents would scold , asking why I couldn’t be as accomplished as you are.

Later, my greatest wish was to defeat you because you were your parents’ pride, while I was my parents’ sha. If I defeated you, maybe I would beco their pride.

I trained diligently during my ti at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, cherishing every opportunity, striving to surpass you one day.

Yet I slowly realized, I may never have the day where I surpass you.

Self-destruction is the only way I can possibly harm you.

Let’s perish together then; I’ve been feeling rather lonely anyway.

A father greedy for power and betraying ancestral teachings, a mother who does not discern right from wrong, a sister who willingly married the Third Heavenly Body for more magic power...

Sotis, I truly feel lonely.

Qing Xun struggled desperately, knowing if he could decisively kill Qing Pu at this critical mont, he might have a slim chance of survival.

But as he gathered magic power in his palms, mories of the brothers learning and playing together as children flashed before his eyes, causing his actions to stall and the raised palm to pause, unable to strike Qing Pu.

Had Qing Pu really done anything evil?

No, but for this last act.

"Brother!"

"Brother Qing Xun!"

Qing Rouhen and Jing Jing cried out, desperately trying to pull Qing Xun away.

But self-destruction happens in an instant, and how could Qin Sisi let them throw their lives away?

Yun Wang held onto Qing Rouhen, while Qin Sisi pulled Jing Jing, the four of them retreating with difficulty.

With a loud bang, Qing Pu’s body exploded like a bomb. The imnse power sent ripples through the air, spreading outward from the center.

When the energy wave reached Qin Sisi and the others, she pushed her hand forward, using the power of gold attribute magic to create a Copper Iron Wall, shielding the four of them from harm.

The power of a Demon Emperor far surpasses that of a magic spirit; not even a life-sacrificing attack could break the Demon Emperor’s defenses.

In the end, all four of them were safe and sound, but Qing Xun lay motionless on the ground in the distance, his fate unknown.

Qing Rouhen and Jing Jing shouted in despair as they ran toward Qing Xun, with Yun Wang closely following Qing Rouhen, anxious about their safety.

Qin Sisi stared blankly at Qing Xun’s prone body for a while, then slowly walked over to Qing Pu, an intricate expression on her face.

This was her schoolmate, with whom she had studied, worked, and grown up together at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle.

Those years, though tough, were pure and bright, and back then, none of them could have imagined they would one day beco such irreconcilable enemies, caught in a life-and-death struggle.
