Chapter 534: Battle with George Barrett
Chapter 534: Battle with George Barrett
The book instantly released a powerful force, tightly enveloping Long Ruohan.
Long Ruohan suddenly lost the ability to resist and was trapped in the constraints of the book.
"Barretton! Destroy this strange book quickly!" Long Ruohan shouted to George Barretton anxiously.
George Barretton's heart trembled, and he realized that there was something wrong with the thick book. He reacted quickly and swung his sword to chop it.
However, He Daqing raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a disdainful smile, and threw the copper mace in his hand without hesitation.
The copper mace weighing nearly two hundred pounds flew towards George Barretton at an astonishing speed like a cannonball and hit his chest accurately.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood gushed out of George Barrett's mouth!
"How can you be so powerful?"
George Barrett stared at He Daqing with wide eyes in disbelief, his face full of astonishment and fear.
He Daqing sneered, with a flash of contempt in his eyes: "Humph, I am from the Flower Planting Family, how can I not be powerful! Boy, in your next life, remember to reincarnate into a good family, not into a robber's den!"
Before he finished his words, the copper mace in He Daqing's hand had already hit George Barretton's neck again!
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of bones breaking resounded across the sea, and George Barrett's head was instantly separated from his body and fell directly into the mouth of the prehistoric giant crocodile that had been waiting for a long time.
Looking at the death of George Barretton, the leader of the Knights Templar, at the hands of He Daqing, Long Ruohan suddenly felt a surge of despair in his heart.
She stared with wide eyes, looking at what was happening before her eyes in disbelief.
At this moment, she realized that the power she had always relied on had collapsed, and she would face unprecedented difficulties.
She turned to look at Ling Yulian not far away, her eyes full of pleading.
Ling Yulian seemed to feel her gaze, and their eyes met.
Long Ruohan stared at Ling Yulian closely, hoping to get some help and support from her.
"Yulian! Please ask for mercy for Master! Ask He Daqing to let Master go! Master will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a better person in the future!"
Long Ruohan said in a trembling voice, tears welling up in her eyes.
She knew very well that only Ling Yulian could save her life at this time, so she asked her for help desperately.
Ling Yulian stood there quietly, without responding to Long Ruohan's request.
Her eyes revealed a kind of indifference and determination, as if she didn't care about Long Ruohan's situation at all.
Seeing this, Long Ruohan became more and more desperate. She realized that she might not be able to escape this crisis.
"Yulian, you are blaming your master for marrying you to that bastard Barretton without his permission! I was forced to do so!" Long Ruohan said with tears in her eyes.
"You know, Master's family has been under the protection of the United States and Western European powers ever since they betrayed the Flower-Growing Family! I have no choice!" Long Ruohan continued to cry about her difficulties.
"They say it's shelter, but it's actually hostages! I'm a poor person too! Yulian, please, help the master, okay?"
As Long Ruohan spoke, tears rolled down her face like beads from a broken string.
Looking at her master crying in front of her, Ling Yulian couldn't help but feel a sense of pity in her heart.
She was slightly moved, but remained alert and calm.
However, at this moment, Long Ruohan suddenly broke free from the restraints of the Book of Silence and rushed towards Ling Yulian.
She grabbed Ling Yulian's neck tightly and threatened fiercely: "He Daqing! If you dare to take another step forward! I will kill this woman!"
At this moment, Ling Yulian felt a chill rising up her spine, and she realized that things were becoming more complicated and dangerous.
He Daqing, who was standing aside, looked at Long Ruohan expressionlessly. His eyes were cold and ruthless, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
As for Ling Yulian's safety, he seemed to not care at all. He was like a bystander, watching this life-and-death battle quietly.
"You want to kill me? Long Ruohan, do you think you have the ability to do that?"
He Daqing's voice was chillingly calm, and his tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.
As his words fell, the Book of Silence appeared above Long Ruohan's head again, and the powerful pressure made Long Ruohan unable to move again.
"Yulian! Did you see clearly? This is your master! You plead for her, but what about her?"
He Daqing suddenly turned his head and looked at Ling Yulian, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
His hands tightly gripped Long Ruohan's neck, as if he wanted to strangle her life in his hands.
The system in Long Ruohan's body immediately sensed the danger to its master and tried to establish contact with him, but found that it had been blocked by He Daqing's power and could not make any contact with Long Ruohan.
"He Daqing...you will die a miserable death...you should return my system to me!"
Long Ruohan's face turned as pale as paper. She gasped for breath and tried to break free from He Daqing's restraints, but to no avail.
Her heart was filled with despair and fear. She had never thought that she would be subdued so easily.
"Give it back to you?" He Daqing stared at Long Ruohan angrily, with anger and disappointment flashing in his eyes.
His voice was low and powerful, as if he was suppressing endless anger.
Suddenly, He Daqing raised his hand and slapped Long Ruohan hard in the face.
The slap was so loud and crisp that the air around it seemed to freeze for a moment.
"You are such a traitor!"
He Daqing's voice was filled with anger and rebuke, "Have you forgotten where you came from? Don't you remember your motherland? You actually chose to become a lackey of the United States and betrayed your own country and nation! You are simply a complete traitor! Bah!"
He Daqing's eyes revealed deep contempt and disdain. He felt extremely angry and sad about Long Ruohan's behavior.
As a conscientious flower-growing family member, he could not tolerate such behavior of selling out the country for personal gain.
However, in the face of He Daqing's accusations, Long Ruohan did not show the slightest guilt or regret.
On the contrary, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.
"Humph, He Daqing, do you think I care about your scolding?"
Long Ruohan said with disdain, "I have made my choice, and I think it is the right one. I pursue personal interests and power, not so-called patriotism. You are just a bunch of stupid idealists who don't understand the cruelty of reality."
Hearing Long Ruohan's words, He Daqing was so angry that he trembled all over. He didn't expect Long Ruohan to be so shameless.
He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could punch Long Ruohan again.
"You despicable villain!" He Daqing cursed with gnashing teeth, "You don't deserve to be called Chinese! You will be punished for what you did!"
