Chapter 737: Red Center

Chapter 737: Red Middle

"Red Middle! Believe me! Don't run! I had no intention of harming you! We had an agreement!"

Li Huowang's body was nearly crawling on the ground, exerting all his strength to explain himself to the other.

But Red Middle now thought completely differently from the disappearing Red Middle he had just seen.

He looked at Li Huowang and smiled slightly. "Hehehe, trying to fool me? You're still too green. I don't believe it!" Saying this, he moved again, gradually distancing himself from Li Huowang.

Seeing this scene, Li Huowang felt like spitting blood. He had finally convinced him to come with him, but as soon as time ran out, the other had forgotten everything that had just happened!

At this moment, he didn't even care about the death-decreed fate above his head. gritting his teeth, he exerted every ounce of strength to chase after Red Middle.

"Don't you feel something different about what's above us now? In a place like this, do you really want to keep cycling here forever? Believe me! I'll get you out!"

"You lie to others! That doesn't mean others won't lie to you!! Think carefully! Think about our situation! Is it better for you to stay here or to come with me and gain more benefit!"

Faced with Li Huowang's earnest pleading, Red Middle remained unmoved, trying to distance himself as much as possible from Kui Lei's shadow range, and also from Li Huowang.

Li Huowang understood that the other wouldn't listen to anything he said. The previous Red Middle had seen the record of Red Middle on the giant pillar, but this one before him had no idea what his past self had actually experienced.

In such a situation, Li Huowang realized that no matter how much he said, the other would only suspect more.

When the buzzing sound of the rotating wheel gradually faded from his ears, Li Huowang bit his teeth and endured the pressure of the Death Decree, standing up directly.

The melting on Li Huowang's body accelerated, but he couldn't care less now. He used all his strength to chase after Red Middle.

Walking was faster than crawling. When Li Huowang finally caught up with Red Middle, he pounced on him, pinning him down tightly. "Be quiet!"

Since soft approaches weren't working, he'd have to resort to force.

"Fine, I understand. You're telling the truth. Let go of my hand, and I'll follow you." Red Middle said to Li Huowang's face at this moment.

"Don't try that with me! It won't work! I know you don't believe me now! If I let you go, you'll run away!" Li Huowang, who was melting like a candle person, glared at him fiercely.

"You think I'm lying to you now? Fine, pretend I am! But regardless, we must leave this place first! Leave Kui Lei's range! Once we're out, I'll explain everything properly!"

If they stayed any longer, not only would he be unable to explain to Red Middle, but he might even die before finishing his explanation.

Red Middle looked at the Li Huowang in front of him and finally nodded slowly.

After Li Huowang started moving again, Red Middle no longer lagged behind. The two worked together to move toward the outside. As they moved, Red Middle's body also began to melt.

Soon, they had no time to guard each other anymore and began to make every effort to escape this place.

The places where their bodies melted began to stick together, making the two seem like conjoined twins.

Yet no matter how far they walked, the melting speed didn't slow down much.

Though there was no mirror now, Li Huowang was certain that his current appearance probably no longer resembled a human form.

"What did you do to the previous me? Why did you provoke this thing? Did you dare provoke the Death Decree? Are you all crazy?"

Red Middle complained bitterly.

"How could we provoke it! This thing came by itself!" Li Huowang answered painfully.

The two struggled forward under the pressure of the Death Decree, and under the pressure of life and death, they had no time to talk anymore.

Just when Li Huowang thought they would gradually leave, an unexpected event occurred. A beam of light shot down from above his head. "Is Kui Lei watching me?"

The moment this thought arose, Li Huowang stopped. At this moment, he felt his body could no longer move, and his consciousness began to melt along with his body.

He was about to die—a feeling that anyone nearing death would have.

In his dying state, Li Huowang's vision involuntarily shifted upward. What had been unbearable just a glance ago now seemed particularly comforting, the warmth radiating from it like his mother's embrace.

Gradually, Li Huowang saw himself getting closer to it. A smile slowly appeared on his face.

As he got closer, the object on the ceiling gradually changed, becoming flat and eventually transforming into a pitch-black mirror in front of Li Huowang.

In that mirror, Li Huowang saw his own darkened reflection. Their eyes met, and Li Huowang penetrated some of the heavenly Dao and rules contained within.

That mirror was part of himself, and also part of Kui Lei. Every living being born carries "death" within them, and every living being is part of Kui Lei from birth.

And all the "death" combined is Kui Lei. Watching countless changes in the world, death never changes—it is eternal.

Not knowing how long he had stared, just as Li Huowang was about to see clearly how he died through the mirror—

The mirror suddenly shattered as if pushed by something else, and that warm feeling disappeared completely.

Like someone reborn, Li Huowang suddenly discovered that somehow, whatever was above his head had completely vanished.

Li Huowang suddenly felt empty beneath him, then fell rapidly downward with intense falling sensation. He had only floated on his face, while his body was still attached below.

When he came to his senses again, he found he had been standing in the same spot for a long time.

Suddenly, both of them collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, grateful to have survived.

"What exactly happened just now?" Li Huowang tried hard to recall everything that had happened, but he had forgotten most of it.

Although he didn't know why, he seemed to have narrowly escaped.

"Did Ji Zai move it?"

After catching his breath somewhat, Li Huowang asked Red Middle beside him: "Do you know the pattern of this guy's appearance?"

"Aren't you the one who said? My memory only lasts an hour. Do you think I'd know what happened before?" Red Middle looked at Li Huowang mockingly.

Hearing this, Li Huowang stopped asking. The current Red Middle had no brain left—his mind was carved into the pillar.

But regardless, since he had survived contact with the Death Decree, it could be said his luck was still pretty good.

Let it go. About matters related to the Death Decree, it was best not to think too much.

The death crisis had passed. Now it was Red Middle's turn. Li Huowang, breathing heavily, looked at Red Middle sprawled on the ground beside him.
