Lord of End of World

Gong Lixin squinted at Lu Yun and seemed like his usually bright eyes burned like one possessed, but the temperature of the flame was cold, mixed with a trace of death.

After a long while has passed, Gong Lixin shook his head and spoke slowly. "I don't have a gun. What do you want to do with it? Do you really want to commit suicide?"

Lu Yun's face showed a smile uglier than his crying face. He nodded, "Yes, your sister's right. I'm just a useless waste of a person. I will die but if I die, I'll pull the people around me to accompany me to my death. Death by a gun is quick because the trigger is just a button, and my eyes won't even have time to close before it's over and I can join my Dad as soon as possible. I won't need to bother Brother He and Brother Wu anymore! It will be great!"

Gong Lixin's face gradually became tense and he asked with a flat tone, "Do you really want to die? No regrets?" How valuable is life? He endured endless torture just to live. So why did others not know how to cherish it?

"No, now is the apocalypse and useless people like me won't live much longer anyway!" Lu Yun waved his hands and looked down at his body and smiled, "so what if I'm naked, I'll leave this plane naked!"

Gong Lixin quietly stared at him for a moment before faintly saying, "Since you've already thought about it, I will help you. I don't have a gun, but I don't need to use a gun to kill."

Lu Yun's eyes wavered for a moment, but it was too late to react. Before he knew it, Gong Lixin already quickly stabbed his heart twice.

"Ah!" Lu Yun screamed, gripping his chest where his heart was as severe cramps took over his body. His body rolled into a ball, squeezing himself tightly as much as possible as it rolled down on the cold floor beside the bed. After a short while, he couldn't make any more noise. Only blue veins on his temple pulsed and his red face turned purple from the pain.

This kind of pain was extraordinary, as if the heart was being squeezed by a big hand and shredded into pieces. It was as if his soul was being stripped from his body and every hair on his body, from the top of his head to the tips of his toes were suffering from this intense pain.

Lu Yun was cold and soaked in sweat as he rolled on the floor, leaving a black and gray stain wherever he rolled. His back molars creaked and his bloody eyes stared at Gong Lixin sitting on the edge of the bed with an indifferent expression. The despair in his eyes was replaced by incredulity.

He never imagined that Young Master Gong, who said he would kill him, would actually kill him. And he didn't make it easy either, no, he still chose such a painful way. Rolling around, he swallowed down his saliva as he withstood the extreme pain. Why should I die? How good was it to live!

With those cranky thoughts distracting him from the pain in his body, the ambition of death in Lu Yun's eyes had strongly regressed and was unwittingly replaced with the desire to live.

Seeing the change in his eyes, Gong Lixin, who was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed and his left hand resting on his propped up left knee, revealed a playful smile. Under the golden light of the sun, the juvenile's extraordinary beauty exuded a holy glow and the long shadow behind him looked like two black wings as they slowly fanned out from the morning light.

This image, in Lu Yun's eyes, looked like a dark angel which made him regret his previous sorrowful decision. He opened his mouth to say something, say that he regretted his decisions, and to please have mercy on him. A trickle of blood suddenly burst into his throat and spewed out from his slightly opened mouth, splashing onto the floor and the white sheets.

When the blood spurted out, the intense pain around his heart quickly receded like how tides would recede. Lu Yun curled in on his body and stroked his chest. His face didn't show a painful expression but rather seemed a little dumbfounded.

"Wh-what?" He slowly sat up, moved his arm and felt that his body was no different from before. Instead, he even felt better, as if he had a full battery of energy and had plenty of energy now to vent.

Gong Lixin's eyes bent, the bright smile holding a hint of naughtiness. He raised himself from his sitting position and asked, "Do you still want to die now? If you want to die, I'll help you fulfill it."

"No, no, I don't want to die! Please, Young Master Gong, have mercy and let me go!" Lu Yun was stunned and thus, ferociously waved his hand as he shook his head for fear that Young Master Gong didn't hear his rejection.

"It's good not to die. The apocalypse is a really difficult time. We may lose our loved ones and friends, but we will not lose the power of freedom and resistance. Those are two things that are enough for us to live through sorrow and to live well. Live. Exert effort to become stronger and everything that was lost can be earned back. You're still young, you can re-establish your own family, have new loved ones, and protect your friends from danger and death. Don't you agree?" As Gong Lixin slowly spoke, his tone became even calmer than ever before.

"Yes, you're right! I will not say I want to die anymore. I must live well." Lu Yun looked up and sincerely answered. He felt the power in Young Master Gong's words,; the power that would let him survive and break through all of the darkness and despair.

"Hn. Go to the bathroom." Gong Lixin was satisfied and he let Lu Yun, who was sincere yet fearful, make his escape by pointing to the bathroom.

Lu Yun looked embarrassed and covered himself as he escaped to the bathroom and quickly closed the door. When he came out again, he had already cleaned and dressed neatly and became the Young Master Lu from before.

"This set of Shaolin Jinang Boxing movement is simple and is mainly a martial arts skill. It's very fast and very powerful. It's very suitable for you. If you are okay with it, follow the pictures in the book, practice, and you will see unexpected gains. If you don't understand, you can ask Big Brother He. Big Brother He is also a martial arts practitioner." Gong Lixin's hand was turning over the martial arts manual of Shaolin's martial arts that Lu Yun had taken from the Gong's family residence. When he saw Lu Yun come out, he spread the page showing a set of skills and advised seriously.

Lu Yun took the manual and looked at it. He hesitantly opened with, "Young Master Gong, didn't you say that I couldn't practice?"

"You can start training now." Gong Lixin looked at him and instructed Lu Yun confidently. "Strengthen the inner and outer strength of your body. The outward strength depends on your muscles, bones, and skin– all of them you need to improve. And the inner strength depends on how you control your breathing, which you are already able to do. If you're able to make good progress, then you can proceed with learning the Golden Shield and Iron Cloth techniques."

Lu Yun's chin dropped and he stared in a silly way at Young Master Gong, repeatedly trying to figure out what he meant. What is this breath? He patted his chest and felt his physique trying to determine what suddenly changed. A shocking idea popped in his mind.

"Gong, Young Master Gong, don't tell me you just unblocked my Ren vessel and Du vessel?" His voice trembled with excitement from the possibility before him the more he thought about it. He was once a fan of martial arts, so he knew that the artery that connects the Ren vessel and the Du vessel was close to the heart and in the thoracic spine. It contained a thin layer of stagnant blood, so in order to connect the two vessels, one must melt the stagnant blood. When he spat out blood before, the colour of the blood was mixed with black although it didn't feel reassuring to say the least at that time.

Gong Lixin gave him a strange look, but neither nodded nor shook his head. He did open up Lu Yun's blood vessel.

The broken vein connecting Ren Duo's two veins was hidden behind the heart and was close to the chest ridge. The process of getting to it was very dangerous. If one was not careful, the other could die. So if a disciple needed a Tongmai, one usually asked a few adroit elders. They went at it slowly and opened it a little. The process was extremely difficult and success depended on God's will.

However, for Gong Lixin, who had mastered the highest-tier of martial arts and whose internal energy's control had reached unimaginable heights, it was only a matter of finding its location to get through to these two veins. He introduced his inner energy using two needle tip-like stabs, directly pierced the blood vessel, made fresh blood pour in from that tiny hole, and then spontaneously dissipated the residual blood. Although one was going to experience some severe pain not dissimilar to the feeling of a dying person, the process was short and really safe. There was no need to worry about one's life.

He had momentarily went along with Lu Yun's whim and wanted him to taste the painful feeling of dying, so that he knew how good it was to be living. He didn't intend to tell the truth afterwards, but he also didn't expect that Lu Yun had a mind so smart that it noticed the change so quickly.

Seeing the surprise in Gong Lixin's eyes, Lu Yun not only got excited, but his body shook and he stuttered. "N-no, it can't be? You really helped me?"

Gong Lixin gave him a look. It seemed plausible. "You should practice hard in the future. Don't go looking for death again. Don't let Big Brother He and Big Brother Wu worry."

"Yes, I know!" Lu Yun nodded in a hurry and held the Shaolin martial arts manual close to his heart. Holding the book, he was overwhelmed with excitement. He jumped around in the same place for a while. Afterwards, he ran into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. He looked to the left side to the right as if he had never seen his face before.

When he came out again, he suddenly swooped down on the bed and grabbed Gong Lixin's feet with his hands.

Gong Lixin's eyes were keen and he kicked him off. He raised his brows. "What did you intend to do?"

Lu Yun yelled as he flew across the room and slammed against the wall behind him before sliding down the same. Fortunately, his physical condition was different from before. In addition, Gong Lixin didn't feel any murderous intent and held back some of his strength. Otherwise, Lu Yun would have broken a few ribs.

"Cough, Young Master Gong, I wanted to kiss your instep to express my deep respect for you! Don't misunderstand!" Lu Yun coughed and heaved from his chest as he explained his grievance.

Kiss the instep? What's this etiquette? Recalling the knights and queens from Western cartoons, Gong Lixin's face stiffened and he didn't know what words to use to describe his current mood. Of course, if he had stayed in the modern times for two more years, he would have known that his current state of feeling could only be described with the '囧' character.

Without a word, Lu Yun kept mourning for a moment as he looked away. Gong Lixin decisively walked towards He Jin's room. Before he even came to the front of his door, he heard heavy gasping and low moans from the room.

This unique noise was that of man in the middle of sex. Gong Lixin stopped and stood still as he hesitated for a while.

In the room, He Jin sat on the edge of the bed with his pants halfway down, one hand supporting him on the bed as the other held the giant stick between his legs. Sometimes his strokes were fast and heavy while other times, it was slow. He leaned back his head, his brows wrinkled. His slightly dazed eyes were unfocused as they gazed at the ceiling.

Normally, a cool and handsome face became seductive because of love and desire.

In his mind, he depicted the child's image showing a confused expression. He moaned and trembled. The already wet head squirted a few thick strands of liquid, staining his hands. Slowly, he fell towards the bed behind him, any trace of emotion on his face gone. His deep eyes looked a little horrified. But not long after, the horror was replaced by understanding and enlightenment, lighting up his eyes.

Wuxian: He Jin makes me want to throw him out of the window, but that's just me.

CrazedCookies: I’m just waiting for my favorite MLs to show up.
