124: Panda's decision, Shen Lang becomes a demon.

"Regardless of success or failure, once I emerge from seclusion, we will go together to avenge Lianhua and Lonely Goose," Shen Lang said.

"What? Big brother, you want to charge for that Realm?"

"No, absolutely not. Don't tell me you've forgotten, big brother? Once you fail, you will never have another chance for a Breakthrough," Pandaer hurriedly said.

"Without my brothers and family, what meaning is there even if I reach that Realm?"

"I can't even protect my own family and brothers, what use is such strength?" Shen Lang shook his head and said bitterly.

Pandaer looked at his big brother Shen Lang, seemingly making a decision in his heart.

Suddenly, while Shen Lang was in a daze, Pandaer struck quickly, directly sealing Shen Lang's Acupoints.

Shen Lang didn't expect his good brother to suddenly strike.

It was already too late to dodge.

"Pandaer, what are you doing? Hurry up and unseal my Acupoints," Shen Lang said anxiously.

"Big brother, I know you've been preparing to Breakthrough to that Realm all these years."

"But you've never done it—not because you didn't want to, but because you weren't certain."

"In this matter, I can't help you much."

"Now, for the sake of avenging Lianhua, you actually want to risk charging for that Realm."

"In such a dangerous matter, I can't help much as your brother, but I can give you one final push."

"I hope my decades of Internal Energy can help you Breakthrough to that Realm," Pandaer said.

Hearing Pandaer's words, Shen Lang's expression changed instantly.

He knew very well what the consequences of Pandaer doing this were; Pandaer would die without his Internal Energy.

"Pandaer, stop right now! If you dare to do this, I will no longer have a brother like you!" Shen Lang roared.

"Heh, since Wang Lianhua died, I haven't had a brother like you."

"You watched your brother get killed with your own eyes and were unwilling to act. What kind of brother are you?" Pandaer sneered.

Shen Lang fell silent. It was true; if he had acted then, at the very least, Wang Lianhua wouldn't have died.

But because of so-called rules, he had watched his brother die before his eyes.

He had done nothing. Anyone in this situation would have a grievance against him.

Pandaer spoke no more, frantically circulating his Internal Energy and channeling all of it into Shen Lang.

As the Internal Energy was transferred, Pandaer's face turned pale, and blood began to seep from the corners of his mouth.

"Shen Lang, Great Hero Shen, I hope you can keep your word."

"Avenge Wang Lianhua." After Pandaer finished speaking, he exerted sudden force with both palms.

As the last trace of Internal Energy was exhausted, he spat out a mouthful of blood toward the sky and fell straight down.

Until his breath ceased, Pandaer's eyes remained open.

He died with eyes unclosed. Indeed, he hadn't personally avenged his good brother; he died with grievances.

"Ah..."

His good brother and grandson had been killed one after another; at this moment, Shen Lang's emotions were on the brink of collapse.

With the aura surging on his body, plus all of Pandaer's Internal Energy...

Shen Lang frantically circulated his Internal Energy, charging at the barrier of the Heavenly Human Realm. Only by breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm would he have the certainty to avenge his brother and grandson.

However, how could the Heavenly Human Realm be so easy to Breakthrough?

Even a Genius hero as strong as Shen Lang had been unable to take that step for so many years.

Now, his good brother was killed, and his grandson was killed.

He was powerless. As a Great Hero, he was a failure. What kind of bullshit hero was he?

As Pandaer's Internal Energy was synthesized, Shen Lang's aura grew stronger and stronger, and the clouds in the sky suddenly changed.

A mass of dark clouds appeared, with traces of lightning flickering within them.

A vortex appeared in the clouds, and a surge of black Qi shot up into the sky. Shen Lang's originally white hair actually began to turn black at this moment.

The aura on his body changed from its previous upright and peaceful state to something much more sinister and terrifying. At this moment, Shen Lang had fallen into a demonic state.

Indeed, in order to Breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm, Shen Lang had fallen into a demonic state.

After falling into the demonic state, Shen Lang stimulated his body's potential. Under the condition of overdrawing his lifespan, he broke through the final shackles and reached the Heavenly Human Realm.

Zhu Qiqi rushed over upon hearing the commotion. When she saw the changes in her husband, she was instantly shocked and paled.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Zhu Qiqi said in panic.

"I am fine, better than ever!" A strange smile appeared on the corner of Shen Lang's mouth. He clenched his fists, feeling an unprecedentedly powerful strength.

With a lift of his hand, Shen Lang struck out with a palm. Instantly, the peak of a small mountain several hundred meters away was shattered by this single palm strike.

Zhu Qiqi was startled. The husband before her made her feel like a stranger.

That familiar feeling was gone. Although the man before her had her husband's face, his aura and personality had changed.

"You... who exactly are you?" Zhu Qiqi looked at the demonic Shen Lang in shock.

"I am naturally your husband. What, do you not recognize me so soon?" Shen Lang had a strange smile on his face.

Saying this, Shen Lang took a step forward, pulled Zhu Qiqi into his arms, and lifted her chin with his hand.

"Though you've grown old, it's not hard to see that you were a beauty in your youth."

"If you were a bit younger, perhaps I could relive our past feelings with you once more."

Zhu Qiqi was startled by Shen Lang's actions. She had never seen such a Shen Lang; he was so strange and terrifying.

"You... what's wrong with you? Are you alright? Don't scare me," Zhu Qiqi said anxiously.

"Madam, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you don't even recognize your husband?" Shen Lang said with a smile.

"No, no, you aren't my husband! What did you do to my husband? Give him back to me, give him back!" Zhu Qiqi said excitedly.

Only then did Zhu Qiqi notice Pandaer lying on the ground.

Seeing Pandaer lying there, Zhu Qiqi's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly ran over.

"Pandaer, Pandaer, what happened to you? Wake up!"

"Don't scare me, please wake up!" Zhu Qiqi said in panic.

"Stop shouting. He's already dead. To help me succeed, he sacrificed his own life. He truly was my good brother," Shen Lang said without a hint of emotion in his voice.

Buzz...

Zhu Qiqi felt her brain explode with a buzz.

Was this still her husband? Was this still the Shen Lang who was once known as the Jianghu's number one Great Hero?

Was this still that Great Hero Shen Lang, who valued friendship and would do anything for his brothers?

How could he do such a thing?

Sacrificing his own brother just to fulfill his own goals?

"You... how did you become like this? Why? What on earth is going on?" Zhu Qiqi said angrily.

"Didn't you see it all? For revenge, for revenge!"

"Only by increasing my strength could I take revenge. Now, I already have the strength of the Heavenly Human Realm."

"Duan Zhengchun—I will surely kill him."

"And the women around him! I won't let a single one of them go."

"Lonely Goose couldn't marry Tang Lan, so I, as his grandfather, will help him complete it," Shen Lang said with a smile.

"How did you become like this? What is going on?" Zhu Qiqi said, crying.
