Seven Gods Guardian: Gun King Mission

Chapter 153 The Blood Knife King's Body Disappeared

Time flew by, the years passed by like a shuttle, and the days went by one by one. The passion that the Blood Knife King had felt for Li Ling, which was as blazing as fire, slowly cooled like a candle flame being extinguished by the wind.

You know, it is human nature to get tired of the old and love the new, and the Blood Knife King had to go through countless hardships and experience the ups and downs of life before he finally struggled out of the painful abyss of losing his deceased wife.

At this moment, when he once again looked at Li Ling, whose face was no longer youthful and beautiful, he could not help but feel a little bored. As a result, his attitude towards Li Ling began to become increasingly cold, and he was even reluctant to give her a warm greeting.

However, even though Blood Knife King had grown weary of Li Ling, he still couldn't completely let go of the relationship that had lasted for so many years. The time they had spent together, and the care they had for each other, still bound his heart tightly like an invisible rope.

Therefore, even though the Blood Knife King's love for Li Ling was no longer as strong as before, he still couldn't bear to abandon her mercilessly and let her wander the streets.

I flipped through the diary in my hand and found that there was no further entry. It seemed that this story had come to an abrupt end.

Closing the diary, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Alas! I never imagined that this seemingly cold-blooded Blood Knife King actually had such a complicated past." Thinking of this, besides a flood of emotion, he felt a mixture of indescribable helplessness and speechlessness. This feeling was especially intensified when he learned that the Blood Knife King had actually used the iron box that once held his deceased wife's ashes to store gold, silver, and jewelry.

"What kind of infatuated person is this guy? He can actually do such an incredible thing!" He thought secretly in his heart, feeling that the Blood Knife King's actions were really unbelievable.

"Forget it. There's no need to delve into what kind of changes he's experienced before. Anyway, he's gone now. Going to heaven to be with his beloved wife can be considered a reunion. Okay, let's leave this place quickly." I murmured to myself, really not wanting to stay here any longer.

So, I decisively picked up the rusty iron box and his diary, took Li Ling's hand and quickly left this chilling place.

Before leaving, out of respect for the deceased and a sense of unspeakable guilt deep in my heart, I respectfully bowed deeply to the grave several times. After all, the person is gone, and I took their belongings without permission, which cast a shadow on my heart.

After we both successfully left the area, we once again stepped into the picturesque garden.

Gazing once again at the vibrant blossoms and lush greenery before me, I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "I imagine this guy built a garden like this to relieve stress and unwind. After all, as the leader of the Wind Wolf Stronghold, he has to deal with numerous complex affairs every day. This guy is definitely no ordinary person."

I paused for a moment in this beautiful garden and quickly scanned my surroundings to make sure I hadn't left anything behind.

However, time was running out and I couldn't linger or observe for too long, so I held Li Ling's hand tightly, quickened my pace, and walked straight towards the gate of the village without hesitation.

Because I have never forgotten the promise I made to those girls, at this moment, they are waiting for my arrival at the gate of the village with great anticipation.

We hurried along, kicking up clouds of dust. Soon, the tall, heavy gate of the village came into view. From afar, I spotted the petite figures of the girls standing quietly at the entrance.

I couldn't help but secretly congratulate myself, "Luckily they didn't leave, otherwise it would be so difficult to find them again." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but quicken my pace, shouting, "Here I come, everyone! I'm so lucky you're still here. I was worried you'd leave first."

Hearing my shout, the girls seemed to be awakened. They raised their heads and looked happy on their faces.

Then, they hurried over to me. One of the girls, panting, said, "Lord Zhan Huang, we've been waiting for you here the whole time. Honestly, we're completely unfamiliar with this place and have no idea where to go. Luckily, the gate isn't too far from where we are, so we only had to walk a short while before we found it."

The place was peaceful and calm, with nothing unusual happening. All around was silent, except for an indescribable, strange odor that filled the air. It made him feel extremely uncomfortable. "Nothing's happening here, is it?" he asked, frowning.

At this time, a girl suddenly said: "No, there was no earth-shattering noise outside, but I vaguely heard some strange noises." Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at her, their hearts full of curiosity and confusion.

Unable to suppress my curiosity, I quickly asked, "Sound? What kind of sound was that?" The girl frowned slightly, as if trying to recall the scene, and slowly replied, "When I was standing at the door, I heard a shuffling sound, as if someone was struggling to drag something heavy, but I really didn't have the courage to go in and investigate."

These words resonated like a thunderbolt in his heart. Suddenly, he remembered that in his haste, he hadn't properly disposed of the Blood Knife King's corpse. With a start, he cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" and immediately flung open the stronghold gate and bolted.

When I hurried to the scene, the sight before me left him dumbfounded—the body of the Blood Knife King, whom he had killed with his own hands, had vanished! Instead, all that remained was a massive crater formed by the violent explosion, and numerous body parts and debris scattered around. It was a shocking sight.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on? This guy's body just vanished!" I cursed inwardly, a sense of foreboding washing over me. Could it be that someone, while I was away, had quietly stolen the Blood Knife King's body? Or perhaps he wasn't completely dead, still holding a glimmer of life? Countless questions swirled in my mind, making me increasingly anxious.

At this moment, the other people saw me suddenly rushing out like a gust of wind. They did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran out of the mountain village.

The others gathered around me, looking at me with concern as I looked panicked. They all asked, "What's wrong with you? Did something terrible happen?" "Don't panic, sir. Tell us what happened first." Li Ling, in particular, came up to me with a worried look on her face and asked, "What happened? You look so anxious."

I took a deep breath, tried to calm myself down, then frowned and said, "The Blood Knife King's body has disappeared. I suspect that besides us, there are other people hiding in the dark, but they just haven't shown up." After saying this, I no longer hesitated, and immediately released my own powerful aura, and instantly entered a state of selflessness.

At this moment, my senses became extremely sharp, as if I could perceive every subtle movement around me.
