Capítulo 1549: Chapter 1583: Liu Tangtang Is Willing to Die for Lin Zifeng

“Swish~” Liu Jiuhuang flashed once more in front of Lin Zifeng, but this time, she did not make a move. Instead, she watched him coldly.

“Hehe… Since I’m going to die here today, just make it quick!” Lin Zifeng struggled to get up from the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

This was his first time receiving such severe injuries since returning to Huaxia. The opponent’s strength was overwhelming, leaving him nearly powerless to resist!

It was also his first time brushing against despair and the Death God…

A torrent of helplessness and powerlessness surged through his heart.

“Don’t worry, I will grant you that.” Liu Jiuhuang said flatly, expressionless. Like an ancient iron pine, her cold and strikingly beautiful face showed no emotion, utterly indifferent.

Turning her head slightly, she saw Liu Tangtang running desperately toward them, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

“Mother Empress! Mother Empress! Please don’t hurt my uncle, please don’t hurt my uncle!” The little girl was almost crying as she ran over.

She threw herself at Lin Zifeng, holding him tight, and then spread her little arms wide to prevent Liu Jiuhuang from harming him.

“Tangtang, move!” Lin Zifeng painfully reached out to pull Tangtang, trying hard to push her aside.

“No! Uncle, Tangtang doesn’t want to see you hurt, Tangtang doesn’t want to see you leave. Boohoo… Tangtang doesn’t want this~”

In the little girl’s heart, Lin Zifeng held high respect. Watching Liu Jiuhuang injure him so severely, her tender heart felt as if it was being twisted by knives, intensely painful.

Throwing herself onto Lin Zifeng, she began to wail sadly, having witnessed him being defeated moments ago. Given how fragile life was, her greatest fear seemed to manifest.

“Liu Tangtang, by breaking clan rules, do you think I can forgive you?” Liu Jiuhuang exclaimed, raising her eyebrows, her cold aura surging once again.

Seeing her daughter so fiercely protecting a man, her heart confounded with emotions.

“Mother Empress, I know I was wrong. But all this is my fault alone, it has nothing to do with my uncle. If you want to punish someone, punish Tangtang instead. Tangtang isn’t afraid of pain, truly not. Just don’t hurt my uncle anymore.”

With tears streaming down her face, Tangtang’s delicate figure was already covered in tear stains. Crawling to Liu Jiuhuang’s feet, she hoped her pleas would persuade Liu Jiuhuang to spare him.

“Impossible! You both share the blame for this. But he, he must die!” Liu Jiuhuang coldly pointed at Lin Zifeng, stating, “Tangtang, if you just admit your mistake, I won’t hold this against you today.”

“No~ boohoo… Mother, mother. Tangtang can’t be without Uncle, Tangtang can’t be without Uncle, boohoo… Mother. Just kill Tangtang then. Tangtang hopes Uncle can continue to live well. That would be enough for Tangtang.”

“Are you so foolish that you think he’s worth it?” Liu Jiuhuang’s heart bled, never imagining her simple, silly daughter would risk her life for a man.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Tangtang nodded fervently, exclaiming three affirmations. Her pitiful face was drenched in tears, unsure if her mother would forgive Uncle.

She didn’t know how to rescue her uncle, resorting only to desperately pleading with her mother.

“Alright then, I’ll just kill him, and then you!” Liu Jiuhuang’s eyes flickered, and after dismissing Tangtang with a wave, she launched another attack on Lin Zifeng.

“Roar~” Lin Zifeng’s eyes bloodshot, he let out a beast-like growl, using almost all his might, the Hand of Cang descending like a Divine Weapon blade upon Liu Jiuhuang.

“You’re courting death!” Liu Jiuhuang struck out a palm, sending an overwhelming energy wave like a tsunami, uprooting the trees and grass along with their roots from the ground.

“Pop! Pop! Pop!” The violent energy swept up all debris from the ground, and a pile of earth debris engulfed Lin Zifeng, lifting him into the air, where Liu Jiuhuang unleashed a massive five-finger handprint at his abdomen.

“Pop…”

A dull explosive sound resonated as the five-finger handprint, formed by swirling Primordial Energy, blasted into his abdomen, emitting a blazing, blinding purple light.

His abdomen was left bloodied and torn in large swaths.

“Pft…” As the purple light faded, Lin Zifeng coughed up fresh blood from his throat, his strength entirely spent. He swayed, eventually collapsing into the woods, his fate unknown.

“No!!! Uncle!!!”

Liu Tangtang witnessed everything unfold, but it all happened so fast that she couldn’t even scream. Watching her beloved uncle struck down into a bloodied figure, her tender heart felt as if it were being slashed by countless small knives, an unbearable agony. It felt as if the sky had turned grey. Her mind plunged into a blank state, utterly bewildered.

“Stop!” Liu Jiuhuang’s icy gaze tightened, and she casually sent out a Divine Light, confining the rushing Tangtang within the Divine Light.

If those old fogies from Huaxia saw the power Liu Jiuhuang demonstrated, they’d probably have their eyes pop out.

Moreover, in her life, Liu Jiuhuang had only lost to two people! This depicted the terrifying heights she had reached.

“Don’t, don’t! Mother, I beg you, don’t hurt my uncle anymore, please stop. My uncle is a good person. Please stop hurting him.” At that moment, Tangtang could only express her inner pain with tears, utterly powerless to save him.

She cried like a tearful statue, watching her beloved uncle being beaten into a bloodied state. At that moment, she felt as if time had frozen in this space. Her mind conjured horrifying outcomes for Uncle, too fearful even to imagine.

Moreover, Lin Zifeng hadn’t risen after being struck into the forest this time.

“Mother, I beg you, please don’t harm Uncle anymore. Boohoo… boohoo… Mother.”

“Fine! If you don’t want him to die, then offer your life in exchange for his! What say you?” Liu Jiuhuang spoke with frigid detachment, devoid of any humanity.

“Fine! If my life can substitute for Uncle’s, I’m willing, even in death!” Tangtang’s eyes gleamed with determination, agreeing to Liu Jiuhuang’s life-for-life proposal without a moment’s hesitation.

“You…” Liu Jiuhuang paused, her eyes widening, shocked at her readiness, wondering if this simple-minded girl truly loved him?

Silly girl, is this man truly worthy of your life? As the Liu Shen bloodline’s successor, could the position as Mother Empress be lesser than a man?

Liu Jiuhuang hesitated, deliberating whether to spare them. Sparing them might demand explanations to the entire clan.
