Duanmu Feng Hua sighed heavily. He looked at Duanmu Wu Guang with a burning gaze, and gently shook his head.Duanmu Wu Guang was crestfallen, a smile plastered on his face.
It was a wry smile of despair.
He said despondently, "It"s my fault. I was too greedy and thought that I was extremely talented. There was no Tao technique in this world that I couldn"t learn.""Elders, I, Duanmu Wu Guang, am truly sorry for all of you. Everything I have done in the past is a sin. Today, I have brought this upon myself …"
Duanmu Wu Guang"s initial domineering aura had changed to fear, and his current enlightenment had occurred in an instant.
Duanmu Wu Guang had already fallen into an abyss of despair after being hit by the Devour Skill.
He was already well aware that there was no way to recover his own cultivation, and even the possibility of him surviving was extremely slim.
In such a situation, it was as if all his desires had vanished into thin air, as if they had never existed.
Duanmu Fenghua"s eyes were bloodshot, and his aged body was slightly trembling. Suddenly, he closed his eyes and repeatedly sighed."Why so... I say, Duanmu Wu Guang, why do you have to go through so much trouble!? Why do you have to go to such an irreparable extent to have such an epiphany? "
"The heavens are jealous of such a talent! "You are a rare genius of our Duanmu family in the past 500 years, but you ended up like this. This is simply a huge loss to the Duanmu family."
As he finished speaking, two streams of hot tears rolled down Duanmu Fenghua"s wrinkled eyes.
When a man is about to die, his words are good.Duanmu Fenghua knew that regardless of how ambitious or ruthless Duanmu Wu Guang was, the words he spoke at this moment were all from the bottom of his heart.
But the more it was like this, the more Duanmu Fenghua felt his heart ache.
The greatest genius of the Duanmu family had been destroyed by him just like that.
Even if he deserved it, it was still unacceptable."Great Elder, now that things have come to this, there is still one more wish that has not been fulfilled. I hope that Great Elder and everyone here can fulfill it!"
Duanmu Wu Guang"s body trembled as he calmed himself down."Wu Guang, feel free to speak of whatever wish you have. As long as it"s not a crime, and it"s something that I, Duanmu Feng, am capable of, I will not refuse." Tell me about it! "
Duanmu Feng Hua could feel his heart throbbing in pain as he looked at Duanmu Wu Guang"s expression.
Since he proposed his unfulfilled wish, how could Duanmu Fenghua refuse?
Actually, it wasn"t just him, the rest of the people from the Duanmu Family also subconsciously nodded their heads.
Although Duanmu Wuguang was too conceited and ruthless, he was also one of the people who practiced. Other than talent, he was the one who worked the hardest and persevered the most.
Based on this alone, even the current Patriarch of the Duanmu family, his older brother, Duanmu Pengcheng, might not be able to do it.Moreover, no one who was activated by the Devouring Technique was able to live past that day, and even their flesh and blood were being sucked dry. They truly became a person who was on the verge of death.
Agreeing to help him yet having such a wish was within reason.
When Duanmu Wu Guang saw Duanmu Feng Hua"s clear att.i.tude, and that the other elders had no objections, his originally contorted face revealed a pleased smile.
In the end, Duanmu Wuguang managed to support himself and shakily stood up. His gaze landed on Lu Chen, who had already leaped out of the window.
Seeing Duanmu Wu Guang"s gaze, Lu Chen felt a burst of doubt.
What did that mean?He could not figure out what Duanmu Wu Guang"s wish before his death had to do with him.
But when he saw Duanmu Wu Guang gently beckoning to him, Lu Chen hesitated for a moment before walking over.
Now that Duanmu Wu Guang was under the effect of the Devouring Spell, wasn"t he worried that he would be able to cause a ruckus at this time?It was likely that any of the Elders present would be able to turn Duanmu Wuguang into a meat patty with a casual slap.
After all, the remaining cultivation base of Duanmu Wuguang was only barely at the middle legendary realm.
Furthermore, because his strength had been completely drained and his aura was in disorder, it was very likely that he wouldn"t even be able to unleash the full might of a low-grade Profound Rank martial spirit.Although the Devouring Technique was still continuously absorbing Duanmu Wuguang"s cultivation base, the speed at which it was absorbing the spiritual energy had become extremely slow compared to before.
Lu Chen guessed that it was most likely because Duanmu Fenghua had used some sort of special method to reduce the rate at which his cultivation level was being absorbed by the Devouring Spell.
This allowed Duanmu Wu Guang to survive for a longer period of time.
Presumably, this was the only thing that Duanmu Feng Hua could do for him.
When Lu Chen walked in front of Duanmu Wu Guang, Murong Xin"er hurriedly followed behind him.
She had a vigilant look on her face, and inside her body was her mother, ready to strike.
No matter how much of Duanmu Wu Guang"s cultivation had been absorbed, Murong Xin"er continued to circulate her Zhen Qi, preparing to strike at any time to prevent Duanmu Wu Guang from having any backup plans.Murong Xin"er was used to seeing all kinds of schemes and tricks in the Celestial Sect of Wonders, so she knew that she couldn"t let down her guard at all times.
Moreover, Duanmu Wu Guang did not have a good reputation.Murong Xin"er was also one of the elders in the family. She had heard a lot of things about him that he did evil, so she was naturally wary of him.
Judging from the current situation, even if the possibility wasn"t high, Murong Xin"er still wouldn"t easily let her guard down.
She could feel that Lu Chen wasn"t in a very good condition. It was as if he had suffered a huge loss during the healing process and was unable to recover in a short period of time.
Seeing Murong Xin`er being so serious, a wave of warmth rushed through Lu Chen"s heart.
At every critical moment, Murong Xin"er would appear to be extremely serious and focused."Middle Xuan grade!"
At such a close distance, Murong Xin"er could feel Duanmu Wu Guang"s aura again. She was finally able to calm down a little.
However, she did not know what this old fogey called Duanmu Wu Guang would want with Lu Chen.
The higher-ups of the Duanmu family present also focused their gazes on the lifeless body.Doubt was written all over their faces as well.
"Mister Lu, I"ve long heard of how amazing you are in the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Actually, this old man does not believe this!""There is no such thing as a free fall from heaven, nor is there anyone born with the ability to defy the heavens."
"You"re only in your early twenties. As for the Face Preserving Technique, it"s just a show."
"The first time I saw you, I could tell from your aura that you had already completely denied the possibility of using the Face Preserving Art."
Duanmu Wu Guang stood quietly on the spot, his face pale and his breathing ragged.However, his gaze never left Lu Chen"s face, and his expression was extremely serious.
