Chapter 134: Kong: "You're Beyond Saving. Live or Die as You Wish!"
For a martial soul fusion ability to succeed, the participants must be in sync. The higher the fusion degree, the more this is true.
From the tens of thousands of years of history on the Douluo Continent, Kong was certain of this.
The dominant party in a martial soul fusion is less affected emotionally, while the fused party, essentially the "fusion material," almost invariably develops strong feelings for the dominant one.
In rare cases where there's no clear dominant party, similar to Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo, their relationship transcends mere brotherhood, hinting at something even deeper.
Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang had always thought they were the Golden Iron Triangle, but in reality...
Listening to Kong's explanation, Liu Erlong's face turned ashen.
"Are you saying that Xiaogang never had feelings for me?"
"Whether he had feelings for you or not is for you to figure out. I'm just recounting what I know," Kong replied, spreading his hands. He continued, "Do you really believe in that many coincidences in the world?"
"As soon as Bibi Dong became the Pope, Yu Luomian received the news of your marriage. Then, Yu Xiaogang vanished. How could all of this just be a coincidence?"
"The news your father, Yu Luomian, received back then was sent by none other than Yu Xiaogang! My dear Aunt Erlong!"
Kong's tone grew increasingly helpless as he spoke. Was Liu Erlong pretending not to know, or was she truly this foolish?
Calling her foolish wasn't quite right, though!
"Kong, you're lying to me, aren't you?" Liu Erlong asked with a hopeful expression, as if Kong's words were her last straw.
"???"
Kong was momentarily stunned, feeling utterly at a loss.
"Liu Erlong, you're beyond saving. Live or die as you wish!"
With that, Kong turned and walked away, unwilling to waste any more time with her. Out of sight, out of mind.
This woman was truly hopeless! Even Hua Tuo, the legendary healer, couldn't cure this kind of delusion!
He had explained everything so clearly, yet Liu Erlong still tried to deceive herself. If that wasn't a serious problem, then what was it?
Liu Erlong stood there, staring blankly at Kong as he stormed off.
Recalling and piecing together everything Kong had said, she glanced at the jade pendant at her waist, falling into a whirlwind of thoughts again.
In truth, with Kong's explanation, she already knew that Yu Xiaogang had deceived her all those years ago, but she just didn't want to accept it!
"I really pity Flender. The man he thought of as his good brother not only deceived him but also tricked the woman he loved. In a way, Flender deserved this," Kong muttered, pausing briefly in his steps.
After saying this, he continued walking away without turning back.
Liu Erlong: "..."
Indeed, Yu Xiaogang had not only deceived her but also fooled Big Brother Flender.
After Kong walked away, Liu Erlong's eyes turned red, and a trickle of blood slid down her lips. The emotional upheaval was so intense that it caused her to cough up blood. It was clear how much this revelation had shaken her.
"Yu Xiaogang..."
"I will get to the bottom of this. Wait, Kong said he knew where Yu Xiaogang was."
Liu Erlong suddenly remembered that Kong had mentioned knowing Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts. If she could confront Yu Xiaogang, wouldn't that reveal the truth of what happened back then?
With this thought, Liu Erlong wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and quickly chased in the direction Kong had gone. He hadn't left long ago; she could still catch up.
As for Kong, he was currently fuming. He knew Liu Erlong was beyond saving, yet he still went through all this trouble. This was on him!
"Dammit, what even is martial soul fusion? Or is Liu Erlong really that foolish?"
Kong muttered in frustration, feeling utterly helpless.
At that moment, Kong sensed a fluctuation of soul power behind him. The aura was chaotic and unstable, carrying a fiery pressure.
This flame was Yin Fire, manifesting as blue, characteristic of Liu Erlong's mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.
Ma Hongjun's flame, in contrast, was dark red, representing Yang Fire.
"Why is she chasing after me?"
Kong wondered inwardly. Instinctively, he stretched out his hand. A purple lightning bolt flashed across the sky and landed in his palm.
Seven purple-striped soul rings quickly rose from beneath his feet. Behind him, thirty-six Ba patterns of the Wheel of Myriad Wishes appeared, all shining brilliantly.
The soul power stored within these patterns was nearly equivalent to the total soul power in Kong's body.
Liu Erlong's running came to an abrupt halt, stumbling and almost falling to the ground.
She stared at Kong in bewilderment. This kid had already reached the level of a Soul Saint?
No wonder. No wonder he had dared to say he would "suppress" her earlier. She had thought it was just his stubbornness or mischief.
She never expected Kong was actually serious!
Wait, why did he suddenly release his martial soul? What was he planning to do?
Kong turned around, saying nothing, merely casting a glance at Liu Erlong. If she dared to make a move, he would subdue her in seconds!
Though they were both Soul Saints, the difference between them was immense!
His soul rings appeared purple, but in reality, they had already reached a hundred thousand years in age!
The Soul Saint level was a watershed for most soul masters, and it was the same for Kong. His body was already strong enough to bear seven hundred-thousand-year soul rings!
And this wasn't even his limit. As his shadow had put it, "This is just the beginning; get used to it first."
Seeing Kong's stance, Liu Erlong stood there, stunned, her mouth slightly open, words on the tip of her tongue yet unsaid.
They locked eyes, but still, neither spoke.
"I've always lived by the principle of 'minding my own business.' I had no intention of involving myself, but I never expected you to be this hopeless," Kong said coldly, his eyes devoid of emotion, as though calling her 'Aunt Erlong' earlier had nothing to do with him.
He had called her 'Aunt Erlong' out of respect for Yu Yuanzhen. After all, Yu Yuanzhen deeply regretted Yu Xiaogang's deception of Liu Erlong. That was the only reason Kong acknowledged her.
"???"
Mind his own business? So, Kong had initially planned not to reveal the truth? Could it be that he had only told her because he was moved when I visited him last time? Liu Erlong thought to herself.
"Kong, what's with this behavior? Are you really planning to suppress your Aunt Erlong?" Liu Erlong raised her eyebrows, a faint smile forming at the corner of her mouth. "I only came to ask where Yu Xiaogang is. I intend to confront him!"
Kong paused, momentarily taken aback. The release of his martial soul had been an instinctive reaction, thinking an "enemy" had appeared. He hadn't expected Liu Erlong to react this way.
Retracting his martial soul, Kong pondered briefly before speaking. "I can already guess how that confrontation will go. Are you planning to directly ask him why he deceived you back then?"
Liu Erlong: "..."
"Forget it. In the end, it's your business. If you insist on pretending to be oblivious and deceiving yourself, there's nothing more I can do."
"Yu Xiaogang is currently at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy..."
