Chapter 134 Living Towards Death

"puff"

In what seemed like a long and drawn-out battle of endurance, a water dragon suddenly burst into water without warning.

The water fell into the sea and splashed up in countless sprays.

Even though Qingjiao still had the willpower, she had reached her physical limit.

Subsequently, the other three water dragons disappeared in the same way.

The sudden and uncontrollable change in the situation was beyond the control of the young peppers, but they showed an unusual reaction to it, remaining calm and composed.

"What, shouldn't you feel despair and collapse after reaching the end of your rope?"

Black Dragon looked at him, completely bewildered. His eyes gleamed with renewed smugness, and a murderous intent born of rage and shame.

"As long as I've done my best, what does it matter if things don't go as planned?"

The green peppers, on the contrary, became even more composed.

It was precisely this enlightened state of mind that made the Black Dragon, who was in the upper hand, feel that he was being teased at every turn.

Unable to vent its superiority, the black dragon was instantly enraged, roared, and lashed out with its massive tail at the green pepper.

The power of this tail is enough to overwhelm mountains and seas, and its oppressive force is unprecedented.

The green pepper was right in the bullseye and was shocked. There was no time to dodge, so he could only protect his chest with his hands and take the hit head-on.

At that moment, with that shock, he felt as if his internal organs were about to rupture, and his blood and qi had stopped flowing.

Immediately afterward, his crown shattered, his long hair flew wildly, and he was thrown away by the enormous impact, like a stone skipping across the water, skimming the surface of the sea and jumping again and again, tearing a crack in the sea that took a long time to calm down.

The black dragon then teleported to the other end and continued in the same manner.

After three or five strikes, the surface of the ocean began to shake in an unnatural manner.

An aircraft carrier in the deep sea is like a small boat, bobbing up and down in the surging waves. It's incredibly difficult for those inside.

Once the turbulence inside the cabin subsided, the people who were clinging to various solid objects quickly returned to their posts to repair the damaged items, including the live broadcast communication equipment.

When the screen regained signal, what they saw was astonishing.

Black Dragon was seen floating in the air, holding Green Pepper's head in his hand, while Green Pepper swayed limply like a dead object.

Could it be... that the Holy King has passed away?

People weren't sure; they only dared to think it in their hearts and look at each other with those same thoughts in their eyes.

Because everyone, whether inside the cabin or in front of the global screens, held onto a last shred of belief: the Holy King would not fall so easily.

Because he is the one prophesied to save humanity!

However, their last remaining faith was quickly shattered by the images on the screen.

The black dragon held the green pepper head with one claw, while slowly stabbing the other claw into his chest. Then, a huge claw burst out from his back, accompanied by bright red blood.

Throughout the entire process, the green pepper showed no reaction whatsoever.

If someone has fainted, even a conditioned reflex would cause some movement. At this point, people were certain that the green pepper was indeed dead.

What to do next, what will happen? People were speechless.

Unbeknownst to them, after being struck by the first giant tail, Green Pepper gradually lost all vital signs.

In the final battle before his death, besides his unwavering will, every cell in his body was pushed to its limit.

It was an innate mission deep within his soul that made him fearless, undaunted, and without regret.

In the silence of the world, the black dragon flew over the aircraft carrier and threw the green peppers onto the deck.

This is its way of intimidating the world; no one can stop it from destroying the world.

But the battle with the green pepper had exhausted it, and it needed to return to the sea to rest. Before leaving, it also declared to the world: when it wakes up tomorrow, it will be the day the world ends...

As a group of doctors in white coats were cleaning up Qingjiao's body, Lao Xu used his connections to also stay by the stretcher, ostensibly to say a final goodbye to his friend, but in reality to make a final confirmation.

When he quietly lifted a corner of the white cloth, the scene inside made him frown. The large gash on Green Pepper's chest could only be described as horrific.

It's really over!

He sighed inwardly, then slipped away to a secluded corner and quietly dialed Yuzu's number.

It took a long time for the call to connect, and he immediately said anxiously, "Goodness, what's wrong? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

"I got into a little trouble, so I came to eat some cornbread. I wasn't available earlier, is there anything I can help you with?"

On the other end of the phone, Yuzu was on the Galaxy-class prison planet, preparing to compete with the warden for the spirit of the artifact.

"No, you've only been away from Blue Fat Planet for a short time, how come you're already eating cornbread? What did you do?"

Old Xu didn't expect that there would be a situation with Youzi as well.

"Oh, let's not talk about me. What's wrong on your end? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Yuzu corrected the topic.

Old Xu panicked and realized he'd gone off-topic, so he quickly told him, "I was telling you, the green pepper came to slay the dragon that was causing trouble in the water, but it lost... it was a complete disaster..."

Yuzu remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.

Old Xu thought the phone had dropped, so he looked at the screen and said, "Say something! What should we do?"

On the other end, Yuzu let out a long sigh, "Don't worry, your world won't be destroyed."

I have a friend named Sanchendian who lives over there. If that black dragon reappears tomorrow, I'll have Sanchendian drive it away.

"I'll get there in a while, and then I'll personally slay that dragon to avenge Green Pepper and clean up the mess for him."

"Beep, beep, beep..." Then came the sound of the phone being hung up.

That's all we can do.

Old Xu shook his head with red eyes. Just as he put his phone in his pocket, it rang.

Did Yuzu have other instructions?

Thinking this, he took out his phone, and upon seeing the caller ID, he froze. It was Yu Qiuyue. "Ms. Yu, is there something you need?"

"Give the phone to Green Pepper; I have something to say to him."

Over there, Yu Qiuyue's voice was very nasal, clearly indicating that she had just been crying.

"You, didn't you watch TV, Green Pepper?"

Old Xu dared not say any more.

"I saw it, that's why I called you. Thank you for your help."

Yu Qiuyue is a very composed woman, as could be seen from her tone of voice on the phone.

Oh... she's saying her final goodbye to Green Pepper before his body is even cold.

Old Xu understood, so he grabbed his phone and ran quickly towards the cabin.

At this moment, Qingjiao's stretcher was placed in an open space, surrounded by reporters and military personnel maintaining order.

Suddenly, Lao Xu rushed out from the crowd and crept up to Qingjiao's side.

Seeing that someone was trying to pull him away, he quickly raised his phone, indicating that he had an important call that Green Pepper needed to "answer".

The captain understood and nodded.

The people who were trying to stop Lao Xu retreated, and the group of reporters immediately focused their attention on their phones.

The phone wasn't very loud, but you could hear it clearly: "Green Pepper, this is Qiuyue."

We've known each other for quite some time now, but we rarely make phone calls.

This is the first time I've called you on my own initiative, so please listen carefully..."

Actually, there wasn't much on the phone. It was just the love story of a middle-aged man and his sweetheart. It was very ordinary, but also quite regrettable.

But the audience watching on television was completely engrossed, and many were already teary-eyed...

suddenly!

The green pepper under the white cloth on the screen rolled its eyes and sat up.

The art style instantly shifted from "tragic love" to "bizarre," sending chills down the spines of those who were intently watching.

Only Old Xu, who came from a Taoist background, remained calm and collected. He deftly pulled out a talisman from his pocket and was about to stick it on Green Pepper's forehead.

At this moment, Green Pepper grabbed Old Xu's wrist, panting heavily, "Tell them I'm hungry."

Old Xu rolled his eyes, unsure whether he was a human or a ghost. He didn't rush to respond, but instead used his other hand to rip off the white cloth, revealing that the wound on his chest had healed at some point.

In an instant, Old Xu understood, thinking to himself, "What a wonderful third seal, 'Soul-Destroying and Bone-Corroding,' it's about facing death to live!"

People's focus was solely on the cabin, unaware that outside at the same moment, the sky was already ablaze with the colors of dawn...
