Chapter 133 Finally, he's no longer a coward.
Before anyone could react, a figure flashed through the crowd like lightning in the huge plaza below.
His target was clear and ruthless; he plunged the dagger into the man's chest...
When Zhongming heard Bingyao's reminder, a chill ran down his spine.
A sharp and ruthless aura suddenly attacked from behind. Even though Bingyao reminded him, he was so focused on controlling the clan's protective formation that he had no time to dodge.
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang in his ears.
It felt as if someone was lifting my heart up with their hands, causing excruciating pain.
He stiffened his neck and turned around with difficulty, only to see a scene that tore his heart apart.
The dagger plunged deep into Zhongda's chest, blood gushing out and staining his clothes red.
In the final moment, Zhongda did not hesitate to use his own body to shield his elder brother from the fatal blow.
"Zhongda!"
Zhongming's eyes widened, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar as he quickly hugged his swaying younger brother.
Tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
This happened so fast and suddenly that no one had time to react.
The members of the Li tribe's elders' council, having weathered many storms, were the first to recover from their shock.
One of the elders, his face ashen, shouted, "Zhongqi, what the hell are you doing!"
The Zhong Qi who was mentioned was the same Li Clan disciple who had previously asked Zhong Ming whether it was truly necessary to activate the clan's protective formation.
Who could have imagined that from the very beginning, when he approached Zhongming, he was waiting for such an opportunity with ulterior motives?
Originally, everyone thought everything would proceed smoothly according to plan, but to their utter surprise, Zhongda, that cowardly fellow, actually stepped forward at the crucial moment and blocked the fatal blow.
However, this minor incident did not disrupt Zhong Qi's plans. His primary objective for this operation was singular—to destroy the Li Clan's protective formation.
As long as this goal can be achieved, nothing else matters.
Faced with the elder's questioning, Zhong Qi's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Hmph, didn't you all see what I was doing?"
The Grand Elder trembled with rage, pointing at Zhong Qi and shouting, "You traitor! When exactly did you betray our Li Clan and join the Demon Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Zhongqi laughed arrogantly as if he had heard a joke.
"Hahaha, Elder, you're completely wrong. It was Zhong Ming who colluded with the Demon Sect, and it was Zhong Li who destroyed the Li Clan. If both of our leaders have done such heinous things, why can't I follow suit? I don't care about family honor or family interests. I just want to realize my ambitions."
"Only the Demon Sect can appreciate my talent and ability. Only the Demon Sect has the courage to accept someone as ambitious as me. And only the Demon Sect will not be as short-sighted as you, judging a person's value solely based on so-called bloodline talent."
Zhong Qi became more and more agitated as he spoke, his eyes wide open, his bloodshot eyeballs frantically scanning the members of the Elders Council.
His face was contorted and grotesque.
"You bunch of pedantic fools who only care about talent and bloodline, you should have died long ago! I, Zhong Qi, wholeheartedly want to make contributions to the family, yet you only want me to be a lowly member of the guard. You are truly blind..."
The elder's withered face twitched, and he shouted, "Shut up! You ignorant brat, stop spouting nonsense! Our Li clan has always judged rank by the strength and achievements of its members. You've always been ambitious but unrealistic; do you think you can achieve anything with that kind of attitude!"
The anger on Zhong Qi's face was replaced by indifference. He said disdainfully, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't care about the crappy positions you give me. Soon, you people will pay the price for your stupidity."
He roared, "Warriors of the Demon Sect, now is the time for you to show your loyalty and courage! Follow me and kill!"
As soon as Zhong Qi finished speaking, another commotion broke out in the crowd gathered in the central square, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of figures flew out of the crowd.
The First Elder's heart skipped a beat, and he looked astonished, never expecting that so many people in his clan would defect to the Demon Sect.
Even Bingyao in the sky changed her expression. After they had cleared out so many people from the Demon Sect, there were still so many hidden dangers left.
These people were either infiltrators from the Demon Sect or members of the Li Clan who had been assimilated by the Demon Sect.
Because of these rebels, the disciples who were originally in charge of controlling the clan's protective formation were forced to join the battle in the square.
Many of these rebels were members of the Li tribe, and they knew all too well how to tamper with the formation.
At this moment, the energy shield that enveloped the entire Li Clan rippled with light waves and was actually dissipating.
Seeing that the clan's protective formation was about to collapse, the Grand Elder made a decisive move, slamming his scepter into the ground! A surge of spiritual energy swept across the entire central square.
"Everyone obey orders!"
The elder's powerful and majestic voice resounded throughout the entire square.
"All Li tribesmen, join me in this rebellion! We will fight for the survival of our tribe! The rest of the guards, immediately divide into four groups and head in four directions to guard alongside the elders! Remember, once the protective formation dissipates, it will be a matter of life and death. At that time, everyone must fight to the death to resist the vulture army's attack and protect every citizen of my Li tribe!"
The Grand Elder held a highly respected position in the Li tribe. He had experienced countless trials and tribulations and accumulated extremely rich experience.
Faced with such a pressing situation, we quickly and calmly analyzed the situation and made a decisive response.
The well-trained members of the Li tribe's guard showed no fear upon hearing the order.
It quickly flew off in all directions.
The once crowded square quickly became much emptier. The Grand Elder, taking the lead, wielding his scepter, charged into the rebel camp.
His lean figure was as agile as the wind, and his moves were fierce and ruthless. Wherever he went, his enemies fell one after another.
Zhongming's face was filled with grief. His eyes were wide open, and his hands trembled as he wiped away the blood that kept gushing from the other person's mouth.
But there was no way to stop it.
"You... how could you be so foolish!" Zhongming burst into tears, his voice choked with sobs.
"Cough...cough cough...Big...Big brother, I...this time, I'm finally...finally no longer that coward who clings to life..."
Zhongda struggled to lift his head, looking at his elder brother with a hint of relief and understanding in his eyes.
His body twitched slightly, his pale face was covered with dark green poisonous patterns, and he was spitting out more and more blood. His life was slowly fading away.
"No...no, in my eyes, you will always be my good younger brother," Zhongming said, his voice trembling.
Zhongming had always schemed and plotted relentlessly in order to obtain the position of clan leader. He rarely showed his emotions to outsiders.
However, at this moment, he completely lost his usual composure and calmness, and cried like a child.
He could clearly feel his brother's breath growing weaker and weaker. "Don't say anything... You'll be alright. I... I'll take you to the Great Healer right now, he'll definitely have a way to save you!"
Zhongming held Zhongda's hand tightly, tears streaming down his face from his reddened eyes.
"Brother, don't... don't waste your energy, this is dragon's saliva! It can't be cured." Zhongda spoke with difficulty, each word as if he had used up all his strength.
Indeed, Dragon Saliva is one of the most powerful techniques of the Demon Sect's Mu Ying. Its toxicity is so strong that even the great shaman of the Li Clan is helpless against it.
His lips trembled; he was unwilling to watch his younger brother leave him like this. "No, I don't want you to die, I absolutely don't want you to die..."
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Zhongda's face. At this moment, he had completely let go of all the burdens and worries in his heart.
"Don't worry about me... Brother, the Li Clan... is facing a life-or-death crisis, and we need you right now, don't..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly coughed violently, and another mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth.
"Don't let..." He wanted to say something more!
The last sentence remained stuck in his throat.
Zhongming's hands trembled violently as he gently placed Zhongda on the ground, his chest filled with extreme anger and sorrow.
The veins on his face bulged, making him look particularly ferocious and terrifying.
He stood up with a slight sway, but his eyes were unusually firm, and the surging murderous aura around him was chilling.
As his elder brother, how could he not know what Zhongda left unsaid?
He will protect the Li tribe and wipe out those rebels who turned their swords against their own people.
