Peerless Genius System - Chapter 801. Kill without showing any mercy
“Luo Jinshi, not everyone is going to get an opportunity like this. This opportunity will not be there for long. There is not much time to think about it. If you miss it, you will remain the way you are for the rest of your life. Do you understand?” urged Dean Ai. He used his energy to heal and looked at Luo Jinshi with a furious look.
“Why are you still waiting? Hurry! If not, the b*stard will get to Baiyue Nation,” shouted an Elder.
“I…”
Luo Jinshi looked at the teleportation portal and it was flashing with colorful lights. His eyes were involuntarily flickering back and forth. He was struggling with himself as he pondered the life-changing decision.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become famous. All he had to do was walk up and use all his strength to slam his palm into the teleportation portal. From that moment on, he would go from the bottom of the pack to become the most dazzling student in Mu City Academy. Prestige, girls, money—all would flow to him like water and the chance was now within his grasp.
There was a brief mental struggle, but finally, he chose his path. He would capitalize on the opportunity to have fame and wealth. He strode purposefully toward the teleportation portal and gritted his teeth. His cold, evil character showed through his eyes. It was as if he turned into a different person.
“Stop right there!”
Hu Qingsong, still covered with blood, stood in front of him to stop him. With his arms spread out wide, he asked, “Luo Jinshi, what are you trying to do?”
“Supervisor Hu, please move aside,” Luo Jinshi said with a stern look, ignoring his question.
Hu Qingsong was shocked and looked at his disciple like he was looking at a stranger. He asked, “Are you going to listen to the Dean and break apart the teleportation portal?”
“Why should I not?”
Luo Jinshi asked his mentor. In his anxiety, tiny blood vessels broke from beneath the white surface of his eyes. He continued, “The man killed Elder Zheng. He has injured people from our academy. Is it not time for him to receive retribution? My conscience is clear if I kill him. I will not let heaven and earth down.”
Hu Qingsong sneered, “Such apt sayings. You say that your conscience is clear and that you would not let heaven and earth down. Such dignified excuses.”
“Supervisor Hu, I respect you. But how can you become so muddle-headed that you would help someone else harm our academy? Just move aside. Let me put an end to this and take revenge for our academy,” Luo Jinshi said as if he was giving a lecture.
Become so muddle-headed?
With a disappointed smile, Hu Qingsong felt heart-sickened and said, “You are the best disciple I have brought up. But it is only at this moment that I can properly see what you are deep down inside.”
“If you were me, I believe you would not give up on such a significant opportunity like this either,” Luo Jinshi replied, trying to argue with reason.
“Luo Jinshi, stop talking to a traitor like him. Hurry and break the teleportation portal apart!”
“What is there to talk about with a traitor? If you do not do it quickly, the b*stard is going to be sent over through the portal.”
“Hurry! Get to it! Stop wasting time here.”
All the Elders urged him on.
In a warning tone, Luo Jinshi said, “Supervisor Hu, stop blocking me. I have already decided. Whoever stops me from climbing up the ladder is my enemy.”
After saying that, he walked past Hu Qingsong and headed toward the teleportation portal.
“Jinshi.”
Suddenly, Hu Qingsong called out to Luo Jinshi, like a father calling out to his child. Luo Jinshi thought he was going to dissuade him, so he completely ignored him. In the next second, he felt a sharp pain in his back. He felt a blade pierced into his body.
“Urghh!”
Another sharp pain. That time, he felt the blade pulled out from his body.
Luo Jinshi slowly turned around. He saw Hu Qingsong, face full of blood, holding a bloodied dagger in his hands. Blood was dripping off the blade.
“Supervisor Hu, you…”
Luo Jinshi gasped with disbelief. He would never have imagined Hu Qingsong would take his life. He would kill his disciple for an outsider whom he had met by chance. Had Hu Qingsong become so muddle-headed?
Hu Qingsong had no emotions on his face. He stabbed into Luo Jinshi’s chest once again with the dagger.
“Urghh!”
Blood spurted out from the wound. In an instant, all his strength left his body, and Luo Jinshi slowly slid to the ground like a puddle of slime. His internal organs were bleeding profusely, and all the blood gushed upward. In a short while, fresh blood came oozing out of his mouth and nose.
The blade had pierced his heart. Not even the Almighty God could save him then. The only thing he could do was slowly wait for the Angel of Death to collect him.
After he had done the deed, Hu Qingsong ran out of energy and fell to the ground. He laid looking at the blue sky and laughed like a madman. Tears rolled down the corners of his eyes. He had always hated the evil spewing out from the Mu City Academy and had been battling to get rid of it. But even in his wildest dreams, he did not expect his disciple, whom he had brought up to also fall prey to it.
How pathetic!
It was the first time he felt such fatigue, frustration, and despair. Although the sky was blue, in his eyes, there was always a layer of haze covering the entire sky over Mu City. It would not disappear even if time passed.
…
Inside the chaotic dimension in the teleportation portal, Duck Emperor stood on Ghost’s shoulder. He asked, “God-damn brat, why did you not temporarily freeze Luo Jinshi’s ability to move as well?”
“Why does Senior Brother Luoluo have to make him lose the ability to move? Was he not in it with us?” Ghost blinked her lovely almond-shaped eyes and asked, failing to understand what was going on.
“Little girl, you are still young. Human nature is the most unreliable thing in this world. How long have we known him? It has not even been a day. What makes you think he will not suddenly change sides and help the Mu City Academy deal with us?”
Duck Emperor lectured her with the look of an aged man. He continued, “Humanity is most vulnerable when faced with the temptation of money, power, and prestige. Think about it. All Luo Jinshi has to do is slam his palm into the teleportation portal to kill us. Once he gets it done, he will become the hero of the Mu City Academy. He will become an important and rich man who will stand right at the top of the pyramid. Do you think he can resist this sort of temptation?”
“Duckling, are you not reading too much into it?” Ghost asked. She was sure that Luo Jinshi would not do what Duck Emperor had just described.
“I am making a safe and reasonable assumption here,” Duck Emperor said.
“Your heart is simply way too dark.”
Ghost muttered with her tiny mouth, “Am I right, Senior Brother Luoluo?”
Xiao Luo narrowed his eyes and smiled. He said, “You are right. This stinky duck’s heart is way too dark.”
“Scr*w his grandpa duck. What is going on here? You are echoing each other. Are you trying to mock this duck here? God-damn brat, you better believe that this duck here is going to sh*t a ton of feathers on your shoulders,” Duck Emperor said. He was so pissed off.
“Are you itching all over again? Do you need me to scratch it for you?” Xiao Luo asked, glaring at him.
Suddenly, Duck Emperor admitted, “Fine, you are the Big Brother. This duck here will give in to you.”
Xiao Luo did not bother to pay any attention to him. He kept something to himself. Before he stepped into the teleportation portal, he gave one last instruction. He gave an order to the hypnotized Ai Linda. If anyone attempted to destroy the teleportation portal, she was to kill the person with no mercy.
