Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 975 Lu Qibin's Past - Extra Chapter 36: A Turning Point in Fate

Faced with Li Ming's power, Lu Qibin backed down.

After they turned and left, Li Ming looked at Li Zhao, who bore a striking resemblance to himself, and then at the timid Edward. As if remembering something, he asked, "Back then, I entrusted Huo Xing to you, didn't I? Thank you!"

"It's you!"

Li Zhao naturally still remembered that past event, and her memory was excellent, even photographic. Therefore, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise the moment Li Ming mentioned it.

"Very good memory."

Li Ming was surprised, then pointed to the notebook in Li Zhao's hand and smiled, "Can I have it? I can give you a considerable reward."

Admittedly, Li Ming's memory is also quite good, but she has had too many things to deal with over the past ten years, and her memories of Huo Xing's written experiences have long since become hazy.

She found this place by chance after learning about the news, and was ready to listen to her old friend recount the past through his notes.

"His!"

However, to the astonishment of Li Ming and the others, Li Zhao tore the book apart and threw it over the cliff.

The mountain wind blew, scattering the wind and drifting away into the distance.

Even the Soul Emperor couldn't retrieve those papers, let alone Li Ming, who couldn't fly.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Li Ming's tone remained calm, but the atmosphere at the scene fell silent. He stared intently at Li Zhao, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces!

"I know, after all, I have a very good memory."

Li Zhao laughed, pointing to his head, "The contents of this book are very important to you, aren't they? It looks like a banned book? But I've memorized it! There might be copies elsewhere, but it would take you a long time to find them... I'm valuable enough!"

She must seize this opportunity!

“You’re not even a Soul Master, and you haven’t even awakened your Martial Soul yet, but you dare to talk to me about bargaining chips? You don’t seem like an ordinary person.” Li Ming stared at Li Zhao.

Li Zhao didn't take it to heart. Instead, he looked at Edward and said, "I'm not a commoner. I'm a scavenger. In the Empire, I wouldn't even be considered a commoner. But thanks to my good uncle, he taught me to read and write from a young age... I just didn't expect that he would actually carry on the belief of 'living' to the end. Even in his old age, he was willing to sell me for it."

"Li Zhao, there's nothing we can do, otherwise they would kill me," Edward said weakly.

"Kill you? It seems Lu Qibin has also 'fallen'."

Li Ming sighed, then threw a punch, and a white light pierced through Edward's throat.

"Forehead···"

Edward collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his throat.

Li Zhao rushed over immediately and found that he was beyond saving. He questioned Li Ming, "Why did you do this? He posed no threat to you!"

Even though this uncle was going to sell her, but—but he really wasn't lying! Her original fate was truly about to change!

Moreover, having lived with Edward for so many years and received much care from him, even if she kept telling herself things like "only money will never betray you" and "Edward deserved his fate," she still couldn't bear to watch him die before her eyes without doing anything.

Didn't he sell you out?

Li Ming asked calmly, and without waiting for Li Zhao's reply, continued, "Moreover, once you've memorized the contents of that book, you shouldn't have any worries."

Lu Qibin and his group will not let him off the hook either.

As an elder of the Criminal Law Hall, his interrogation techniques can make one wish they were dead. After all, they saw the traces at the scene and the book you were holding; they'll definitely want to know the details.

Li Zhao realized how terrifying this woman was, but he still couldn't help asking, "So how are you going to treat me? Aren't you afraid I'll delete or edit some content?"

Li Ming was naturally not afraid!
She already had a vague impression of the book's contents, and she could tell immediately whether it had been deleted or altered.

However, we should put it another way when dealing with this girl: "Since he will die sooner or later, it's better for him to die by my hand than to be tortured by the disciples of the Star Crown Sect."

You don't need to seek your own death by going after the disciples of the Star Crown Sect; you can target me instead.

That way you can live a little longer.

Li Zhao gritted his teeth: "Madman!"

Li Ming stopped talking, turned around, and beckoned his two companions to follow.

"Boss, aren't we taking her with us?" one of them asked, puzzled.

"Three, two, one."

Li Ming didn't answer; he just started counting down.

When I counted to "zero", I heard footsteps behind me.

It is Li Zhao.

She followed us on her own initiative!
Li Ming's lips curled slightly under the mask—from the first moment she saw Li Zhao, she sensed that he was a smart person.

A smart person wouldn't willingly return to their original life. Even if they let her go and decided to find Huo Xing's backup somewhere else, the other party would follow.

revenge?

To be honest, Li Ming didn't think the other party had much of a desire for revenge.

People tend to remember grudges but not favors.

The old man raised Li Zhao, but the moment he decided to sell Li Zhao to save his own life, the kindness was no longer the same.

Not to mention that the other party wanted to change their fate as a scavenger, and would not give up any opportunity.

more importantly--

She saw a resemblance between Li Yang and Huo Xing in Li Zhao.

Besides that, there's the issue of appearance—

Li Ming didn't understand biology, but he knew the principle that dragons and phoenixes had offspring. Commoners couldn't give birth to children with such beautiful appearances, let alone a girl who looked nine-tenths like him.

coincidence?

If this area weren't Lankecun, Li Ming would have thought so.

But you should know that her parents stayed in Lankecun for a period of time!
Therefore, she had reason to believe that this girl was her younger sister, born to her irresponsible parents in Lanke Village!

This is one of the reasons why she suddenly killed Edward.

"I still don't know your name?"

As Li Ming walked, he asked without turning his head.

"Li Zhao."

"Oh? We share the same surname." Li Ming also revealed his name, then asked, "What's the old man's name?"

"Edward."

"Judging from the name, he doesn't seem like your uncle."

“No, it’s a friend of my deceased father,” Li Zhao said. “My father is buried on that cliff just now, with my mother.”

Li Ming remained silent for a while before asking, "What's your father's name?"

"Master Li".

Li Ming was puzzled as to why this person suddenly asked about her father's name, but she still answered anyway.

"Dead? No wonder Grandpa has been so depressed ever since he returned from Rotten Axe Village..." Thinking that his grandfather might have killed his parents, his son, and his daughter-in-law with his own hands, Li Ming clenched his fists—

It's not Grandpa's fault at all!
It was actually the higher-ups of the Star Crown Sect who were planning some kind of "Godhood Project"!
sad!

ridiculous!

"what happened to you?"

Seeing that Li Ming suddenly stopped talking, Li Zhao became wary.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things from the past..."
