A murderous glint flashed in one of their eyes.
"To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots!"
Before the words were even finished...
A powerful burst of strange energy erupted from his body, and he transformed into a streak of light, rushing straight towards Xiao Longying in Lin Ci's arms.
Xiao Longying trembled with fear at the murderous aura and instinctively buried her head even deeper.
However, the man's figure had not yet reached Lin Ci.
Lin Ci frowned slightly.
One word, a simple and understated statement.
An invisible force of thought, like an erupting volcano, instantly blasted the man away.
The man crashed violently into the wall at the far end of the hall, exploding in a thick cloud of smoke; his fate was unknown.
The remaining Azure Dragon Clan members were stunned by what they saw.
After a brief moment of shock came an even greater surge of anger.
"Let's go together!"
"Avenge him!"
Several Azure Dragon Clan members roared and launched an attack on Lin Ci simultaneously.
Lin Ci gently patted the back of Xiao Longying in his arms to comfort her.
He didn't even look at the Azure Dragon Clan members who were charging towards him.
But he turned his gaze to the very back of the group, to that lone figure still shrouded in a black cloak.
"They don't treat me like a human being."
He said something softly, as if talking to himself, or perhaps explaining it to the figure.
"I won't kill them, but I'll teach them a lesson."
Lin Ci's eyes instantly turned sharp.
He carried Xiao Longying, moving like a ghost among the charging Azure Dragon Clan members.
He only uses one hand.
One punch, one kid.
Screams came and went.
In an instant, all the Azure Dragon Clan members who were still standing were knocked to the ground, groaning in pain, unable to get up again.
The entire hall fell silent once more, as if death had returned.
Only the black cloak remained, standing alone in the same spot.
Long Jian has completely lost his faith.
The collapse of his faith has left him like a walking corpse.
Lin Ci naturally knew how he felt.
He held Xiao Longying in his arms and slowly walked to Long Jian.
He stretched out his free hand and gave Long Jian a sharp rap on the forehead.
A crisp sound.
As if struck by lightning, Long Jian's body trembled violently, and a trace of light finally returned to his empty eyes.
Lin Ci looked at him and spoke slowly.
"Do you remember our bet?"
Long Jian looked at Lin Ci and nodded blankly.
"So now, I've won."
"Don't give me any more discouragement, come with me."
After Lin Ci finished speaking, she stopped looking at him, picked up Xiao Longying, and turned to walk out of the main hall.
Long Jian is now like an empty shell whose soul has been ripped out.
However, he is a person who highly values the spirit of contracts.
The agreed-upon promise roused him slightly, and he numbly began to walk.
Following Lin Ci, they walked out of the hall that had buried all his beliefs.
Outside the palace is the Dragon Clan's plaza.
The wind blew, stirring up dust from the ground, carrying a hint of blood.
Little Longying hugged Lin Ci's neck tightly with her little hands.
Although they had only just met, her intuition told her that this was the only person she could rely on in the world.
Lin Ci looked at the little one in his arms and said softly.
"I've seen you at your most desperate moment, and I know what kind of person you'll become in the future."
"You don't have the right to choose between heaven and hell."
"But I will no longer let you be chosen by hell; I will change your life."
Xiao Longying couldn't understand what Lin Ci was saying at that moment.
Those words were too profound.
But she still understood one of the sentences.
She looked up, her face streaked with tears, and asked curiously.
"Brother Lin Ci, are you from the future? How do you know what I will be like in the future?"
"Little Dragon Ying is so smart, I really did come from the future."
A bright light suddenly flashed in Xiao Longying's eyes.
That was a beam of light called hope.
She asked cautiously, with a slight tremor in her voice.
"Brother Lin Ci, you're so amazing, can you save my father?"
Lin Ci lowered his head, looking into her expectant eyes, his tone incredibly firm.
Upon hearing those two words, Long Ying's eyes widened instantly, filled with unbelievable surprise.
"Really? Brother Lin Ci!"
Lin Ci's face showed a tenderness she had never seen before.
"I wouldn't lie to a child."
Long Ying could no longer hold back, bursting into laughter through her tears, and gave Lin Ci a hard kiss on the cheek.
"Then let's go save my dad now!"
Lin Ci shook his head.
"No rush, I promised you, and I will definitely do it."
Then, he raised his head, looked at the distraught figure following closely behind him, and said again.
"But now, there is still one more thing to do."
Chapter 49 If you encounter me again, you must kill me first.
Long Jian walked over.
His footsteps echoed hollowly on the cold stone slabs, each step feeling incredibly heavy.
The ground, stained with the blood of his kin, was like a broken mirror, reflecting his distraught figure.
He looked at Lin Ci, then at the little girl in his arms who had just experienced everything, but whose eyes were filled with cold hatred.
Countless emotions surged within his chest, but ultimately only turned into a deathly silence.
He witnessed his own people killing each other.
I witnessed firsthand how these supposedly kind-hearted people harbored the idea of eliminating a young child.
Everything he upheld, the tribal beliefs he was so proud of.
At this moment, it completely collapsed into dust.
Lin Ci looked at Long Jian, who was like a walking corpse, and spoke calmly.
I know how you feel right now, but it's not your fault, and you don't need to blame yourself.
Long Jian shifted his gaze from Long Ying to Lin Ci's unfathomable eyes.
His voice was hoarse, as if every word was being ground out from the depths of his throat.
"You won the bet, and so did Hades."
"You are right, I am wrong."
Lin Ci shook his head.
"It's not that you're wrong, you're just too naive and idealistic."
He paused, his tone carrying a hint of something unreadable.
"However, without your belief, you would not have been able to become a Super Beast Warrior."
Long Jian's lips curled into a stiff smile.
It was a smile more painful than crying, filled with endless self-mockery.
"Am I really worthy of being a Super Beast Warrior?"
He slowly raised his hand.
