699: A family drifting apart

“I’ve finished listening to your story, it’s very touching, after all, I wrote it.”

“However, we are hosting a banquet here at my home, could you do me a favor and perform a bit later?”

Ning Buxiu’s words and actions were like a director suddenly yelling 'cut' after an actor had fully immersed themselves in a role.

Such an action would make an actor furious, and when the target became the demon before him, the opponent’s murderous intent exploded even more!

“Don’t you… feel guilty? You should feel utterly ashamed, you should end your own life to find relief.”

The Man with a Face full of scars slowly shifted his gaze from the hand on his shoulder to the Man before him.

The invisible illusion intensified and acted upon Ning Buxiu by an unknown multiple!

The Child’s experience acted upon him from a first-person perspective, and finally, under all the suffering, he chose to end his life, unable to bear the burden. But when he looked up again, he found that the perpetrator who had harmed the Child was himself!

This strange mental influence was enough to make anyone fall into the deepest regret.

Enough to cause a mental breakdown!

However, Ning Buxiu’s expression didn’t change at all regarding this, or perhaps there was a hint of lament.

“You have already taken revenge, it’s time to let go.”

The Man’s words fell into the ears of the disheveled demon.

This caused the opponent to fall silent for a moment, then he lowered his head and let out a chilling, strange laugh: “Let go? Hehehe, from the moment I was born, there was no such thing as letting go… Die!”

The only remaining sliver of thought was covered and permeated by the surging black energy within his body.

The demon at the door suddenly extended that scarred arm, grabbing straight towards Ning Buxiu’s throat like a Ghost!

“Snap~”

The cold, damp palm directly grabbed Ning Buxiu’s throat!

This scene was not seen by the guests outside the Ning family mansion who were caught in the illusion.

But the large number of viewers currently gathered in the telephones that were still live streaming could clearly see this scene through the light of the lanterns remaining in the courtyard and the moonlight!

“Is this beggar a Ghost?! What’s with that black energy on him?!”

“Oh no, he’s attacking Young Master Ning!”

In the worried gazes of the people, the beggar’s hand was tightly gripping Ning Buxiu’s throat!

The presentation of this scene caused countless people’s hearts to leap into their throats!

Some frantically asked the people around why they weren’t going forward to help, while others fearfully thought, if Young Master Ning died, would they still have telephones to use?

However.

After this increasingly sinking mood appeared among the people.

After the strange person dressed as a beggar grabbed Ning Buxiu’s neck, power suddenly surged throughout his body!

“Crack~”

With a crisp snap.

Countless commoners in Five Directions City watching this scene couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

Is this… Young Master Ning’s neck broken?!

After this thought appeared, many people grabbed their hair, unable to believe that the Genius who invented the telephone in their eyes would die like this!

However…

After two or three moments of quiet breathing, the situation where Ning Buxiu’s neck was twisted off and he fell to the ground did not occur.

He even slightly opened his mouth: “Is this your strength?”

And as Ning Buxiu’s words appeared, people were shocked to see from the details that the monster who was choking Ning Buxiu with his hand had several irregularly twisted fingers!

This guy was choking Young Master Ning’s neck, but in the end, he broke his own fingers?!

The demon also seemed not to have expected this situation, and four arms suddenly exploded out from both sides of his body!

Of these four arms, one pair had calluses, like the hands of a Man who often worked.

The other pair had wrinkled skin, undoubtedly the hands of an Old Man.

“Boom, boom, boom!!”

After the four arms appeared, the six hands on the Man’s body were like six venomous Snakes, spewing out chilling energy, and suddenly attacked Ning Buxiu from all sides!

“Die, die! Die for me!”

The demon’s pupils changed from blood-red to pitch-black.

Within the black energy surging around him, there was also a strange medicinal fragrance.

As the Man displayed this state.

Tens of thousands of people watching this live broadcast, countless were scared to pee on the spot.

This is a Ghost, a real, genuine Ghost!

Most of them had only heard about Ghost and God stories, because those who had seen Ghosts had basically died.

Now seeing it with their own eyes in the live stream undoubtedly magnified the fear in people’s hearts boundlessly!

As for Ning Buxiu, they didn’t feel he had any chance of survival!

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The six fists, as if containing three people from the bottom of society, were unleashing their madness towards unfair fate.

And under this impact, Ning Buxiu did not retreat at all.

Standing in place, facing this impact of power, each punch of which was enough to smash hundreds of people to pieces, he only felt… too weak.

Ning Buxiu’s Physical Body was already terrifyingly powerful, like a great demon.

His strength was already approaching the peak of this country.

“Snap~”

Suddenly, Ning Buxiu grabbed one of the monster’s fists: “It’s over, Lan Xiao Bao.”

Like a familiar friend, after the Man spoke, a pure surge of Scarlet Extreme power directly poured out from Ning Buxiu’s palm!

In an instant, through this arm, it slammed into the entire body of the monster before him!

The scorching heat that cut off all chilling energy was like a beam of crimson-gold light, solidified like the setting sun.

The demon’s movements became stiff, his scarred Face slowly and somewhat dully lifted to look at the Man before him, his pitch-black pupils slowly regaining clarity under the reflection of the golden light overflowing from within his body.

After looking at Ning Buxiu, the Man’s appearance became that of a Child, and a humanized expression also appeared on the Child’s Face.

“Are the candied hawthorns delicious?” As his figure began to dissipate, the Child suddenly asked, his tender voice carrying more hoarseness.

“Delicious.” Ning Buxiu replied with a slightly complicated expression.

“I really want to eat them once, eat them with Father and Grandma, I’ll just eat one, and leave the rest for Father and Grandma.” The Child’s clear eyes held longing, as if envisioning something, his Face even carrying a smile.

“Uncle, I’m going to find my Father, they are waiting for me!” The Child looked at the Man before him, revealing a naive smile belonging to his age, and his body finally slowly dispersed in the scorching Fire light.

In a flash of Fire light, before Ning Buxiu, a Man was carrying a Child on his back, walking towards the distance.

The Child held two strings of candied hawthorns in his hand, and while happily playing with his Father, he handed the candied hawthorns to the Old Woman walking slowly beside them with loving eyes.

“Grandma, eat!”

“Grandma doesn’t like them, Xiao Bao, you eat.”

“Hahaha… Xiao Bao even knows how to be filial to Grandma? What about your Father?”

“Father, you eat!”

“Father won’t eat, these are things only children eat.”

…

The three figures gradually moved further away, their bodies dimming as their voices weakened, until they disappeared.
