Chapter 1277: Zhao Nanli (Zhao Er)
November 30th, 2017
In the realm beyond, a mysterious place...
On a massive altar, Qin Mu, who had been discussing the Dao with an old Taoist, suddenly and unexpectedly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The old Taoist glanced at Qin Mu, whose face had turned pale and eyes dimmed, and said, "It seems you won't have to wait any longer."
Qin Mu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and then stood up, stretching lazily. "After waiting for several months, it's finally over. I can finally go back and get some well-deserved rest!" As he spoke, he waved his hand at the old Taoist and then turned to stride away from the altar.
The old Taoist watched Qin Mu's departing figure, his eyebrows furrowing slightly before he returned to his calm state, sitting quietly in meditation.
...
At the Capital Military Camp, outside Chang'an City, near the giant funnel...
[Your subordinate, Zhao Nanli, has successfully killed 'Qin Mu'. Your task is complete, and the previously frozen rewards are now unlocked!]
[Your Strength Value has surpassed 100. As the first Outsider to break through the 100 Strength Value, you will receive the following rewards!]
[You have successfully broken through the 100 Strength Value. Your 'Breakthrough Reward' is doubled!]
[You have successfully reached 100 Strength Value. You will randomly receive one 'Unique-level General Trait'!]
[Upon reaching 100 Strength Value, you gain two 'No-Task Breakthrough Slots'!]
[Congratulations on reaching 100 Strength Value. You will obtain a Mythical-level item!]
[You have successfully killed Qin Mu. You receive a Blessing from Heaven and Earth, along with a special task reward!]
The system notifications flooded Lu Hai Kong with a plethora of generous rewards. However, at this moment, Lu Hai Kong's attention wasn't on these rewards but on the three words in the first notification.
Indeed, the person before him was Zhao Nanli, or Zhao Er, who had been missing from Lu Hai Kong's household for over half a year.
When Lu Hai Kong first saw the system notification, he was momentarily stunned.
Speaking of Zhao Er, he had indeed gone through a rough time. Originally named Zhao Ergou, he had desperately wanted Lu Hai Kong, his lord, to give him a better name.
Later, after distinguishing himself by repelling the Xianbei invasion, Lu Hai Kong granted him a new name, 'Zhao Nanli'.
However, even though Lu Hai Kong had given him the name, he himself hadn't changed his habit of calling him Zhao Er. This had continued for several years, so when Lu Hai Kong saw the name 'Zhao Nanli' in the system notification, it still felt somewhat unfamiliar.
Fortunately, Lu Hai Kong hadn't forgotten Zhao Er's new name. Upon confirming that the person before him was indeed Zhao Er, a look of ecstatic joy appeared on Lu Hai Kong's face.
But Lu Hai Kong's joy was short-lived. As he was laughing, Dromar and Lu Bu rushed forward again, brandishing their weapons, ready to strike Zhao Er once more.
After all, these two didn't have Lu Hai Kong's system notifications, and they were unaware of Qin Mu's demise.
Seeing this, Lu Hai Kong's expression changed drastically. He quickly moved to intercept them, and with a wave of his Savage Ax, he blocked the attacks from Dromar and the Honor Guard.
"Prince Jin, what are you doing?" Dromar's face darkened as he spoke in a cold tone.
Lu Hai Kong didn't bother explaining to Dromar, "Qin Mu is already dead. We don't need to provoke the remaining one."
"No need to provoke?" Dromar's face grew stern. "Has Prince Jin forgotten something? We still need this scoundrel's heart to revive Wen You!"
"At this point, do you still believe Qin Mu's lies?"
"This is clearly Qin Mu's scheme!" Lu Hai Kong narrowed his eyes.
"Whether it's his scheme or not, I don't care. I must obtain that scoundrel's heart, and it's best if you, the esteemed Prince Jin, step aside to avoid any accidents," Dromar coldly stated, his demon weapon in hand.
As Dromar raised his demon weapon, Lu Bu by his side and the hundreds of thousands of troops above the giant funnel all fixed their gazes on Lu Hai Kong. At this moment, both sides seemed on the verge of turning against each other.
In truth, the reason for this standoff was not only Dromar's desire for Zhao Er's heart but also Lu Hai Kong's attitude towards Zhao Er.
Dromar was no fool; he clearly noticed Lu Hai Kong's change in demeanor after witnessing the purple flames emanating from Zhao Er's body. He was certain that there was something fishy going on between Lu Hai Kong and that guy, which led to this tense situation.
While Dromar and Lu Hai Kong were at odds, a significant transformation began to occur with Zhao Er, who was behind Lu Hai Kong. The purple flames spreading from Zhao Er's Sea of Consciousness rapidly enveloped his entire body!
The purple flames wrapped around Zhao Er, causing the original blood-red color of his body to gradually fade, and his towering five-meter-tall physique began to shrink inch by inch.
The hideous blood-red bone spikes, once a part of Zhao Er, slowly melted within the purple flames, turning into bone liquid that seeped into his body. Meanwhile, the blood-red color of his skin merged with the purple flames, gradually assimilating into Zhao Er's body.
"What's going on?"
Dromar's expression changed upon witnessing this scene. He keenly sensed that the demonic aura within Zhao Er was being continuously refined.
This was the last thing Dromar wanted to see. If the demonic aura within Zhao Er were completely digested, his plan to use Zhao Er's heart to revive Li Ru would be in vain.
Witnessing this, Dromar couldn't help but want to rush forward and kill Zhao Er before the demonic aura was completely refined.
Of course, at this moment, Lu Hai Kong would never allow Dromar to do so.
Just as Dromar was willing to pay a hefty price for Li Ru, Lu Hai Kong was equally protective. Now that he knew the person behind him was Zhao Er, Lu Hai Kong would never permit Dromar to harm him.
One side was eager to kill, while the other refused to budge, creating a tense atmosphere between them.
"Lu Hai Kong, are you really going to stop me?" Dromar narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent swirling around him.
Lu Hai Kong was about to speak when he suddenly heard a system prompt in his ear. Startled, he turned to look at Zhao Er, his face paling.
After a moment, Lu Hai Kong turned back, his expression grave as he addressed Dromar, "I'll be frank. He's my man, and I won't hand him over to you. Moreover, his heart has already mutated, so even if you get it, it won't be of any use. You already have a foolproof solution, so do me a favor and don't lay a hand on him."
"What if I insist on taking action?" Dromar narrowed his eyes.
Lu Hai Kong glared at Dromar, a domineering aura surging forth, "Then, from this day forth, there will be no more Dromar in this world!"
