The sumptuous dinner was once again completed by Long Fan's superb craftsmanship. It seemed that Belle was angry about what happened during the day and snatched the food without sharing it with Long Fan. Long Fan was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled bitterly and picked up another piece of meat to roast. Seeing Long Fan's compromise, Belle was a little stunned. In the past, under such circumstances, Long Fan would always say something sarcastic, although she would compromise in the end. However, she did not know that Long Fan was thinking about something else. She did not even realize that this would be her last dinner.
"It's time to leave. Although he misses these days, it's not what he wants.”Long Fan said to him as if he was trying to convince himself.
"Happy times always make people lose themselves. Why are you hesitating?”The Dragon God's voice appeared in Long Fan's mind.
"I know very well what I want. Everyone has their own emotions and desires. This is just the most normal sadness of parting. I'm sorry that I can't meet the standards that you ask of me.”Long Fan said indifferently. There was no fluctuation of emotion on his face as if he was just standing from the perspective of a bystander. Was it just because of the sadness of separation? Long Fan knew very well that when Liu Qingyi left, he didn't have such emotional fluctuations. Long Fan didn't know that what he really couldn't let go of was the familiar shadow on Belle's body. That shadow made him unable to recognize himself rationally.
"Hey!" Hearing Belle's call, Long Fan raised his head and looked at her in confusion. "You can think of a way here. I'm going to rest!”Unable to endure the awkward atmosphere, Belle walked away alone.
"Wait! You can't rest yet. You still have a mission tonight.”Long Fan ordered casually while he continued to do his own thing.
"What do you mean? Don't we not move at night?”Bei Lei asked Long Fan doubtfully. This was also Long Fan's intention. The reason was that the army rested on the spot at night without any particular rules. Once they made a move, it was very likely that they would be exposed to the public and would not be able to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.
"An elite Dou Huang must be much more particular about his life compared to an ordinary person. Do you think that he can endure resting without covering the sky and resting on the ground? We have never acted at night before, so their defenses are probably the most relaxed at night.”
"Then what should we do?"
"It's not feasible to fight with strength. After all, the difference is too great. We can only take a step back and ask for the next best thing. You lure them away and I'll be responsible for cutting off their rations.”Long Fan said indifferently.
"No! If you don't have battle energy, you won't be able to escape if you're discovered.”Bei Lei obviously didn't agree with Long Fan taking the risk and said anxiously.
"Don't worry, I have my own way to escape. Remember, your goal is to lure him away. Don't try to fight him!”Long Fan's expression was a little serious. He was most worried about Belle's recklessness.
Looking at the vast night sky, Huang Zheng revealed a few sorrowful emotions. He didn't like war, although it was an emotion that was not allowed to exist for a soldier. Every time he experienced a battle, he would show this sad expression. He was grieving for the soldiers who had died on the battlefield, and he was also grieving for himself. Although he was a Dou Huang and it was not easy for him to encounter danger on the battlefield, every time he saw the soldiers beside him fall one after another, he would still wonder if he would have such a day. Especially after coming to the Huaining Empire this time, his sense of crisis had become even stronger.
"General has already set up the tent. Please go and rest!”A soldier's words broke his silence. Huang Zheng laughed lightly without reprimanding him as he slowly walked towards the tent. The soldier who watched Huang Zheng leave still revealed a look of admiration towards his back. It was not only because of his Dou Huang strength but also because he loved his soldiers. Huang Zheng's reputation in the army was very good, and he was supported by the soldiers. Looking at the scattered tents on display, the soldier smiled. It seemed that he would not have to sleep in the open tonight.
Time continued until late at night. The first half of the night was peaceful and quiet. Finally, the last bit of worry of the night guard was eliminated. The occasional rustle of grass no longer attracted his attention. However, the moment he relaxed, danger quietly arrived. Suddenly, a violent fluctuation spread, and a black shadow quickly approached the soldier's back. The huge commotion finally caught the attention of the soldier, but before he could shout, his vision went black and he fainted.
"I... I'll go over first. Be careful!”Bei Lei said worriedly as she looked at Long Fan.
"Don't fight him head-on. As long as you lure him away, your mission will be completed.”Long Fan instructed indifferently, but his gaze was looking elsewhere to avoid Belle's gaze. Belle replied softly with a somewhat dejected expression. She gritted her teeth and flew towards the main tent. A moment later, there was a violent explosion and a furious roar. The lights of the entire camp were instantly lit up. "Assassins!"
As the lights lit up, a graceful green figure stumbled out. Belle seemed to be slightly injured. She glanced at Long Fan's hiding spot, gritted her teeth, and spread her wings to fly into the distance. Just as Belle left, a purple figure rushed out of the tent. Looking in the direction Belle left, Huang Zheng hesitated for a moment before spreading his purple wings and chasing after her. He didn't want to kill them all. He just wanted to prevent anyone from being poisoned by Belle. As the two of them left, the soldiers in the various tents rushed out one after another. The silent camp was in chaos for a moment.
"Goodbye, woman!" Looking in the direction Belle left, Long Fan was a little lost in thought. A moment later, Long Fan slowly walked out of the darkness. Since Belle had already left, there was no need for him to hide anymore. The white figure was very dazzling in the dark night. The moment Long Fan appeared, he immediately caught the attention of the soldiers.
"Who are you?" A group of soldiers raised their spears and sized up Long Fan, who was approaching them.
"Boom!" Long Fan waved his hand, and a wave of purple air swept the soldiers in front of him away. Then, Long Fan's right hand formed a claw and grabbed the soldier closest to him.
"Fight... A Dou Huang!" Seeing Long Fan's methods, the soldiers at the back did not dare to approach him rashly. A Dou Huang was too powerful. If Long Fan had the killing heart, he could easily kill the ten thousand plus soldiers in front of him.
"I don't want to kill. Tell me where your rations are!”Long Fan asked coldly as he looked at the terrified soldiers in his hands. However, it was obvious that the soldier was already suffocated by Long Fan's strength. However, Long Fan knew the answer he wanted from the direction he was looking at. "Thank you!" Long Fan said indifferently. Then, he threw the soldier in his hand out. The soldier that was thrown out directly crushed the group of soldiers behind him. Long Fan didn't admire the soldiers who were in chaos. He walked step by step towards the grain camp in front.
A moment later, under the watchful eyes of over 10,000 soldiers, the grain stored in the camp emitted waves of smoke. Seeing Long Fan standing in front of the rations, none of the soldiers dared to rush forward to put out the fire. All the soldiers could only watch as the rations burned in front of them. The fire lasted for a while before Long Fan smiled and left the camp. The surrounding soldiers immediately cleared a path for him to leave. Looking at the soldiers 'reaction, Long Fan smiled and said,""Thank you for your cooperation!" Then, under everyone's gaze, he gradually disappeared into the night. Seeing that Long Fan had walked away, the camp immediately erupted with angry roars and cries of fighting the fire. Long Fan was no longer interested in knowing the outcome of all this.
Long Fan was naturally in the limelight in front of the soldiers, while Belle's situation was not optimistic. Huang Zheng's vigilance was quite high, so even though Belle suddenly attacked, she still suffered some light injuries. In addition, Huang Zheng's strength was far from what Bei Lei could compare to, so Bei Lei was in quite a dangerous situation now. Seeing that the distance between them was getting closer, Belle gritted her teeth and continued flying forward.
"Young lady, you are already injured. It is better for you to stop struggling. I have no ill intentions. I only hope that you can follow me back and give an explanation to the dead souls.”Huang Zheng followed behind Bei Lei unhurriedly. He could have grabbed her. However, he admired Belle's perseverance, so he hoped that Belle would surrender. He did not want to hurt her.
"Humph! What explanation? Didn't you just want my life? If you have the ability, just take it. I don't want you to cry like a cat crying over a mouse!”Bei Lei said sarcastically, completely disregarding Huang Zheng's so-called good intentions.
"In that case, forgive me for offending you!" Huang Zheng was a little annoyed by Bei Lei's repeated provocations. He struck out with his palm at Bei Lei. Belle let out a soft cry and finally fell from the sky. Huang Zheng couldn't help but reach out his hand. Suddenly, Belle, who was on the ground, used all her strength to slash at Huang Zheng. Huang Zheng was slightly startled, and subconsciously sent a palm forward to receive it. " Puff!" Due to the huge difference in strength, Belle spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying. However, before her body could land on the ground, she had already fallen into a warm embrace. Belle stared at the figure who caught her in a daze. She could not help but widen her watery eyes.
"Woman, why are you always so disobedient? Didn't I tell you not to risk your life?”The man gently wiped the blood from the corner of Belle's mouth, his voice carrying a hint of doting helplessness. Belle, who had always resisted contact with others, did not react for a moment. She was immersed in Long Fan's endless gentleness.
"So there's a senior here. No wonder you dare to do this! In this way, I overestimated myself. Junior will take his leave!”When Huang Zheng saw Long Fan's flying technique, he immediately understood that he had kicked an iron plate. He sighed and turned around to walk towards the camp.
"Humph! After beating someone up, he wanted to leave. How could there be such a cheap thing in the world!”Long Fan said with a cold expression. He looked at Huang Zheng with an unfriendly expression, as if he was looking at a dead man.
"What does Senior want?" Huang Zheng looked back at Long Fan fearlessly.
"Buzz!" A trembling sword chime broke the silence. He casually took the sword and drew a sword flower. "You want to leave?" Long Fan said indifferently. Sure, as long as you can take one of my moves!”As he finished speaking, a dazzling sword energy had already slashed towards Huang Zheng. "Clang!" The crisp sound of a sword being sheathed echoed in the forest. Long Fan carried Bei Lei and walked into the distance without looking at Huang Zheng who was still standing.
"So this is the feeling of death!”Huang Zheng laughed softly. After which, his vision was dyed red with blood. "If there is a next life, I just want to be an ordinary person and live a life of peace.”This was his last consciousness. With a thud, his standing body fell to the ground.
"So you…"
"That's not important. What's important is that I'm still me!”Long Fan interrupted Belle and continued to treat her injuries. "Now that the situation has been decided, I'm leaving.”A moment later, Long Fan's indifferent voice sounded again. Belle looked up at him and said nothing. She knew that this day would come, but she did not expect it to come so suddenly.
"Where are you going?" A moment later, Belle broke the silence.
"Haha! Our paths are different. You're the life-saving fire and water, while I'm at most a chivalrous man. Our paths are different, so we naturally can't walk together.”
"Isn't it the same? It's all to help the people!" Belle disagreed with Long Fan's words.
"But the essence is different. Saving the people is your dream, and serving justice is just my interest. Ideals were necessary, but interests could be changed! At most, we met at a junction. You and I are destined to be passersby in each other's lives. Since you and I know each other in the martial world, let us forget each other in the martial world!”Long Fan said softly. His tone was very indifferent as if he was telling someone else's story.
"Forget each other in the martial world!" Bei Lei said in a daze, but her gaze did not leave the indifferent Long Fan.
