This villain is too popular.

Chapter 162 Chen Xing, who says one thing but does another
Amidst the scorching firelight and crumbling walls.

After a period of arduous struggle, Chen Kong and Vivian finally managed to temporarily eliminate the dense army of remnant souls released by Chen Xing.

He placed his hands on his knees, large beads of sweat sliding down his forehead, hitting the scorching ground, and evaporating into visible white mist.

"call"

Chen Kong shook his heavy head. His hair, damp with sweat, clung to his forehead, the stray ends causing a slight itch.

But Chen Kong had no time to care about any of that at the moment.

Because in the distance, Chen Xing had already placed his hand on the demon sword stuck in the ground and was slowly pulling it out.

The blade made a low, eerie sound as it rubbed against the cement floor.

Illuminated by the flames of blood, Chen Xing drew his exaggerated two-meter-long demon sword.

The blade reflected the crimson light of the fire, exuding a chilling sense of oppression.

She gazed at the dusty sky not far away and slowly said, "There's been some progress, at least you're not so stupid as to completely disappoint me, but..."

Dust Star dragged the demon sword toward Dust Sky and Vivian. Where the tip of the sword sliced, a furrow burning with blood flames was plowed into the ground.

At the same time, crimson flames suddenly erupted from her cuffs and trouser legs, and her clothes were quickly engulfed and wrapped by these blood flames, eventually replacing part of her clothes and revealing her well-defined abdominal muscles.

After the 'star mark' on her lower abdomen lit up with an eerie red light, a pair of blood-red horns, resembling those of a demon, suddenly pierced through her skin and grew out from Chenxing's forehead.

Stab it--!
Amidst the dragging sound of the demonic blade, Chen Xing said in an icy voice, "If this is all you can do, then you are not enough to escape from my grasp."

"Come on, bring out all your cards and gamble on that hope that never existed in the first place."

Chen Kong took a deep breath, his straight back casting a long shadow in the firelight.

At this moment, he no longer felt the nervousness and timidity he had when he first met Chen Xing; his expression became incredibly resolute.

"Sister, do we really have to go this far?"

Dust Star's voice was calm and undisturbed: "Kong, begging for mercy from the enemy is the most foolish thing in the world. Don't you understand this yet?"

Chen Kong shook his head: "I don't need anyone's mercy."

"I just don't understand why you turn a blind eye to the injustice happening right in front of you."

"Sister, this trial has been strange from beginning to end, and with your status, I don't believe you can't see through it all."

"Even so, are you still going to help those beasts?"

Chen Kong's voice suddenly rose, questioning Chen Xing not far away.

"help?"

Chen Xing seemed to have heard a joke, a mocking smile appearing on his face, his eyes cold and devoid of any warmth.

"Kong, you're still as naive as you were when you were a child, living in your own fairy tale."

"When did I say I was helping those greedy parasites?"

"Then why are you here?"

"It's that kind of boring question again."

Chen Xing impatiently pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "As a Star Envoy of the Association, capturing fugitives is simply my duty. Why ask so many questions?"

"If everyone acted according to their own whims like you, this world would have long become a slaughterhouse where the strong prey on the weak."

"But does maintaining order mean ignoring the injustices before us?"

Chenxing's answer to this question was cold and inhumane.

“Kong, stop acting like a victim and questioning others. If you think I did something wrong, then you should find a way to prove it to me.”

"But before that, I will not arbitrarily change my mind because of your few simple words."

"after all."

Chen Xing raised the demon sword in her hand, and the flames swirling around the demon sword gave rise to a new giant flame blade, which stood atop her high-tied brown ponytail.

"Whether Vivian lives or dies, whether she is innocent or deserves her fate, what does it have to do with me?"

With that, Chen Xing's giant flaming blade slammed down through the air.

Knowing the terror of this attack, Chen Kong immediately tried to dodge.

boom!
The moment the giant blade hit the ground, it cleaved a trench more than ten meters long into the hard ground of the upper city of the steam city.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and dark red flames remained on the exposed underground drainage pipe.

On either side of the tunnel, Chen Kong, who had narrowly escaped the attack, still did not give up trying to persuade Chen Xing.

"Sis, have you forgotten what happened when we were kids? If no one had stood up for us back then, we would have been..." "Shut up!"

Chen Xing interrupted him with a sharp shout.

At the same time, the blood flames around her suddenly surged three feet, and the red light on the demonic blade almost solidified.

"It is precisely because I have not forgotten the pain of the past that I despise what you are doing now."

"As Heaven once said, with great power comes great responsibility."

"Similarly, if you want to resist injustice, you must first have the ability to take on that responsibility."

"Kong, you overestimate yourself and underestimate your own life."

"What do you think your parents would think of you now if they were still alive?"

"Will they praise your courage, or will they endorse your so-called justice?"

Chen Xing stared intently at Chen Kong, as if looking at a child who would never grow up, his calm pupils surging with rare anger.

"No, they won't. They'll just be angry at you for ignoring your own safety and not valuing your own life, just like I am now."

Chen Xing raised the demon sword high, and intricate blood-red patterns appeared on the blade, dyeing the surroundings a strange crimson.

"Now that Mom and Dad are gone, it's my turn as their older sister to show you what true responsibility is."

"A person who can't even protect themselves has no right to talk about justice. Put away your ridiculous heroism and go back to a safe place!"

Boom!

Amidst the deafening explosion, Chen Xing once again cleaved the ground in front of Chen Kong with a single strike.

Although this strike also failed to hit Chen Kong, the scorching heat wave it generated instantly sent him and Vivian flying.

Vivian rolled several times on the ground before stopping, while Chen Kong crashed heavily into a broken wall and slid down the wall to the ground.

With a metallic taste in his throat, Chen Kong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to get up, he saw Chen Xing already standing in front of him.

And the tip of her crimson demonic sword was pressed against his throat.

"Kong, tell me now, do you understand exactly where you went wrong?"

Upon hearing Chen Xing's words, Chen Kong fell silent for a moment.

Because he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

A clear look of disappointment flashed in Chen Xing's eyes at this.

In fact, she was not unaware of Chen Kong's thoughts, nor did she fail to understand the effort and courage he had put in for it.

If Chen Kong were just a stranger, Chen Xing wouldn't stop him even if he didn't approve of his actions; he might even admire his feat.

Unfortunately, the person who did all this was her immature younger brother.

No older sister would want her younger brother to become a 'hero'.

Because it means he has to constantly walk on the edge of life and death.

What Chen Kong didn't know was...

Whether in the past or present, Chenxing's dissatisfaction with him has always been the same.

That is, he has never been able to take care of himself.

During the Embers, Dust Sky could only demonstrate his value to the Doctor and avoid being expelled from the base by becoming stronger.

Therefore, DustStar has been trying to find ways to make DustSky stronger.

To this end, she even went so far as to humiliate him repeatedly, just so that he would devote more attention and energy to cultivation.

The reason why Dust Star appeared here.

Firstly, it was Heaven's instruction; secondly, she didn't want to see Chen Kong continue down the wrong path.

Just like when she was a child, Chen Xing now only wants Chen Kong to understand one thing.

That is, she never expected him to do anything extraordinary; she just hoped he could live a good life.

After all, no matter what, this guy was her only family member in the world.

Deep love and responsibility.

This statement couldn't be more fitting for Chen Xing.

It's just that her personality makes her 'love' seem a bit too heavy.
