Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 255, Section 046: Twins

Wei Zheng's situation is not optimistic.

Zhang Xixi's flames did not harm the human body, but burned away the life essence; this was already her greatest mercy. Suddenly, everyone was stunned, only to find that Xu Hong had appeared beside Wei Zheng, tightly embracing the seemingly frantic Wei Zheng.

Both of their life decrees were ignited by flames. From the perspective of the life controller, the two embraced each other, with flames dancing around them, and blue light enveloping Xu Hong and Wei Zheng.

The woman held him quietly, a faint smile on her lips.

Ignoring everything else, Wei Zheng abruptly broke free from the woman's embrace and tried to stand up.

Zhang Xixi was taken aback and quickly stopped the anti-flame spell.

At this moment, Wei Zheng had recovered, and the flames aroused the ferocity of his destiny, causing him to chase after Chu Pingqiu with bloodshot eyes.

Feng Qingqing raised her hand to intercept, but Wei Zheng grabbed her head with both hands and pierced her ears with his sword. In a moment of dizziness, she was kicked away and stumbled backward.

Chu Pingqiu looked at the completely frenzied [Gong Feng Sheng Shi] and his cold smile became more and more obvious. He stopped dodging and suddenly pulled out his right hand towards Wei Zheng, who was full of flaws. His hand was like a claw and as fast as lightning, stabbing towards Wei Zheng's heart.

"go to hell!"

Chu Pingqiu's sudden attack surprised everyone present. Zhang Xixi shouted, "Wait!"

Even though she was right next to Chu Pingqiu, she didn't have time to react. Suddenly, a second pair of hands grew from Chu Pingqiu's back, as if torn from the slit of a cleaver. That arm showed no mercy, and as Chu Pingqiu and Zhang Xixi passed each other, a claw pierced through Zhang Xixi's heart.

At the same time, a fourth hand attacked from the other side, grabbing at Feng Qingqing and piercing through his chest.

Chu Pingqiu continued his charge, and his outstretched hand was about to reach Wei Zheng's heart.

Suddenly, a dark figure descended from the sky, stepping over Wei Zheng's shoulder and kicking Chu Pingqiu in the chin. The force of the kick forced Chu Pingqiu to change direction midway, and he rolled along with Zhang Xixi and Feng Qingqing, who were being pierced, towards the muddy field on the side.

Zhang Xixi suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, staring at Chu Pingqiu in disbelief.

At that moment, her heart was pierced, and there was a bloody hole in her chest. She fell into the weeds in the field, and her blood quickly stained the surrounding withered grass red.

On the other side, Feng Qingqing's chest was as thick as a wall, but her sternum was broken and not completely pierced.

Chu Pingqiu slowly stood up, and a second pair of hands behind him gradually expanded the wings on his back and shoulders through the slit. He shook his head, regained his senses, and stared at the newcomer with hostility.

Jin Ziyue braced his knee against Wei Zheng's back, his black trench coat fluttering, and pressed his hand on Wei Zheng's head, taking pictures of "Enjoying a Prosperous Era".

"Hey, you thieving cat, shouldn't there be a first-come, first-served rule?"

Chu Pingqiu's hands behind his back mutated again, with the joints of his bones protruding and the flesh membranes stretching. His eyes became vertical pupils, and sharp horns grew from his forehead. Behind his glasses, his pupils were calm and unwavering, no longer showing the arrogance of the past.

Jin Ziyue ignored him and, in less than fifteen seconds, forcibly pulled out the phrase "living in a prosperous era".

Wei Zheng lost his will and consciousness, lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

Beside him, Xu Hong had already collapsed to the ground, lying on her side with her arms wrapped around herself. Her eyes were lifeless, and her empty gaze met Wei Zheng's unconscious face. A faint smile remained on her lips, as if she were asleep.

Jin Ziyue stood up, clutching the stubbornly struggling [Gongfeng Shengshi] in his hand, with no intention of integrating it into his body.

A decree imbued with five hundred years of energy carries the constant danger of devouring its master. Even he would need to consider it carefully, let alone an imperial decree whose fate is fraught with peril.

Chu Pingqiu walked down the hillside, stepping on the wild grass, leaving streaks of blood in his wake.

"The Otherworlders?" Jin Ziyue and Chu Pingqiu confronted each other from a distance.

"I don't think so. At least I can exchange it for a destiny certificate," Chu Pingqiu said, looking at Jin Ziyue.

He stretched his neck, struck an attacking pose, and said, "Humans, Otherworlders, or any other creatures are just shells, don't worry about them."

"However, it's better to hand over the Destiny Token to me obediently. How about it, we can make it a safe deal: you hand over the Destiny Token to me, then take your people and leave. We'll leave each other alone. Anyway, I've already achieved my goal for tonight."

Chu Pingqiu suggested, "How about that? It also meets your requirements, safety first."

Jin Ziyue looked at his gradually mutated body, the gray scales neat and dense, opening and closing with each breath, showing that he had completely broken away from the concept of "human".

The night breeze carried a slight fishy smell.

Wei Zheng and his wife were unconscious beside him; in the field, Zhang Xixi was still barely clinging to life in a pool of blood, and Feng Qingqing was clutching her chest, unable to stand up for a long time, before finally collapsing to the ground.

“I refuse.” Jin Ziyue looked at him and said, “As long as I kill you, I won’t have to make any more choices.”

“Then there’s nothing to talk about.” Chu Pingqiu said with regret, “As expected, we are not the same kind of people. I thought that a maverick like him could have some extraordinary foresight, but in the end, he is just a person who acts on emotion.”

As he spoke, he spread his wings, and the periosteum and keratin layer spread out from the wings. His bones also changed, with ribs piercing out from both sides, covering his abdomen, chest, and back, forming a bony armor. Thorn-like barbs grew from his spine, and bony blades protruded from the bottom of his elbows. His joints gradually widened, as if a demon had returned.

"This is the latest biochemical power," Chu Pingqiu stated calmly, "enough to conquer human flesh with White Walker cells. Simply put, I have a White Walker under my control, kept within me. You may not understand what this means for humanity."

"However, you don't need to understand."

He smiled and said, "While you are still fixated on the physical form of being human or White Walker, visionary pioneers have already explored higher and farther meanings of life. This world is not as gentle and beautiful as you imagine, and the enemy of mankind is not the White Walkers."

"I don't care about these things. All I know is that the [Prosperous Era] in my hand can become the 'river' in [All Rivers Flow into the Sea]."

"This is where your ignorance lies." Chu Pingqiu seemed like a different person. His pupils were amber on the left and dark blue on the right, and the life force emanating from his body slowly spread out, actually forming two streams.

[Victory is assured] + [The cuckoo cries blood].

The fateful words that had initially fled in disarray had somehow been taken over by him.

The expressions of the Fate Masters all changed.

One soul corresponds to one destiny, this is an unchanging truth. Even if a person possesses two destinys, it is only two consciousnesses that take turns controlling them. How could two destinys possibly function at the same time?

unless--

At this moment, he is two people.

Half human, half Otherworlder.

Jin Ziyue narrowed his eyes slightly. Those active mutated cells probably originated from the Otherworldly Ghost, and that Ghost was still alive, living inside Chu Pingqiu's body.
