Chapter 1179 (Wei Chang vs. Brittany)
The look in Donghuang Baizhi's eyes was full of shock—Wei Chang betraying?! How could that be possible! In her heart, Wei Chang was a loyal subordinate, seemingly simple and caring, especially towards Tang Wei.
Could such a person betray them? Donghuang Baizhi couldn't believe it.
"How could that be? Wei Chang is a smart guy," Donghuang Baizhi consoled. At this moment, all they could do was offer comfort. Ye Hua probably already had accurate information about it.
However, it was very troublesome!
"Smart my ass! It's all an act. He still doesn't use his brain for anything, just like before!" Ye Hua said harshly, his aura stabilising.
Just when he had finished dealing with his mother's affairs, Wei Chang betrayed them again! It felt really unpleasant.
"Ye Hua, we haven't seen him yet, so we can't jump to conclusions too early," Donghuang Baizhi said gently. In such matters, they needed to see the person to be sure.
Ye Hua agreed; they had to see Wei Chang in person for it to count.But at the scene of the incident:
After Brittany finished his conversation with Your Majesty, she whispered to Jue Tian, "We need to continue the investigation according to Your Majesty."
"We must investigate thoroughly! Let me rest for a few days first," Jue Tian felt a bit weak. Even transforming into human form had exhausted him.
"We'll find a safe place," Brittany nodded.
However, just as Brittany had finished speaking, the entire sky was shrouded in darkness, followed by the descent of a black curtain.
"Dark Barrier!" With a loud shout, the entire world seemed to be enveloped in darkness, cutting off all connections with the outside.
Brittany, holding Jue Tian, had a dark expression. Jue Tian looked horrified. "Wei Chang!"
In front of Brittany, not far away, the figure of Wei Chang appeared.
Brittany looked at Wei Chang and noticed that Wei Chang's expression and attire had changed. Wei Chang used to have short hair, but today he had long hair, even with an exquisite hairstyle. He was dressed in black silk, giving off a very unsettling vibe.
Even for someone who was used to Wei Chang's plain appearance, this new look seemed like a completely different person.
"I've waited for you. It's as expected. Your Majesty must have sent Jue Tian and you, Brittany. But you don't seem to be at ease, especially with you, Brittany," Wei Chang said, hands behind his back, with a faint smile on his face.
Jue Tian, standing in Brittany's embrace, asked in a deep voice, "Wei Chang! Have you betrayed us?"
"This shouldn't be considered betrayal; I've just found a new way of life," Wei Chang said with a faint smile, looking completely different from before.
The previous Wei Chang was calm and would never show such a smile. However, the current Wei Chang seemed to have set himself free.
It was hard to believe it was Wei Chang. Even Brittany had to admit that Wei Chang had indeed betrayed them!
"So, what is your new way of life now?" Jue Tian questioned with a stern tone.
Wei Chang clicked his tongue, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll kill you all."
Brittany and Jue Tian' faces darkened. They never expected Wei Chang's first act of betrayal to be an attempt to kill them.
"To prevent you from informing Your Majesty, I deliberately set up the Dark Barrier here early. If you paid a little attention, you would have noticed it. But I was also waiting. Jue Tian, you did use the Eyes of the Abyss," Wei Chang explained.
Jue Tian' face was grim. Wei Chang had been waiting for him to use the Eyes of the Abyss! This darkened version of Wei Chang had become quite clever!
"If you didn't use the Eyes of the Abyss, the two of you together, I wouldn't be a match. But now..."
The hot-tempered Brittany angrily shouted, "What! Do you look down on me? Do you think I can't defeat you?"
Wei Chang chuckled lightly, shaking his index finger. "Of course not. If it's just you, it's fifty-fifty. But now, you also have a weakened Jue Tian, making it thirty-seventy. Of course, if you don't care about Jue Tian' life and death, it's fifty-fifty again."
Looking at Wei Chang's eerie smile, Brittany was about to explode, unable to come up with any derogatory remarks. "Despicable!"
"Your Majesty wants us to learn about human nature. I think being despicable is also a part of human nature. But isn't this kind of despicability also clever? Jue Tian, you're the team's brain, but I'm clearly smarter. Too bad I'm not part of the team anymore," Wei Chang said.
Jue Tian pointed his claws at Wei Chang and sternly demanded, "Wei Chang! Aren't you afraid of Your Majesty? Do you think Your Majesty will spare you?"
"Afraid? Of course, I'm afraid of Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so powerful. How could I not be afraid? But do you think I won't betray Your Majesty just because I'm afraid? There's a difference. If you don't do something because you're afraid, in Your Majesty's words, what's the difference from being a salted fish?" Wei Chang sighed lightly.
Jue Tian couldn't find a counterargument for a moment, looking at Wei Chang in front of him, feeling so unfamiliar.
"Stop the nonsense! Let's fight!" Brittany directly stuffed Jue Tian into his chest, leaving the latter looking bewildered.
"Arcane Moonlight Bow!"
A brilliant bow formed in Brittany's hand. Jue Tian, in Brittany's embrace, whispered, "Create some distance!"
Brittany used a blink, pulling the distance far away. His right hand rested on the bowstring, forming a full moon shape.
An arrow made of pure energy appeared on the bow, releasing a terrifying aura.
Wei Chang's long hair fluttered, and his clothes rustled.
"Brittany, within our entire team, our understanding of each other is quite familiar. You have to be careful!" Wei Chang smiled slightly.
Jue Tian whispered, "Brittany, don't listen to his scare tactics. Follow your own strategy!"
"Enough! You two bastards, stop bickering. When I was fighting, you weren't even born yet!" Brittany, with his fiery temper, started cursing directly. Even Jue Tian rolled his eyes, wisely staying tucked into Brittany's chest. This woman is truly someone not to mess with.
"Instead of wasting time cursing, think about how not to die," Wei Chang said calmly, his hands emitting a layer of black mist that slowly fell to the ground and merged into it.
"Shadow Ghost Insects," Wei Chang murmured softly.
Suddenly, countless black insects surged from the ground. These insects could fly, emitting a faint black glow, and the flapping of their wings produced a buzzing sound.
Brittany found herself surrounded by a swarm of black insects, and even Wei Chang's figure became invisible.
"Weak tricks!" Brittany released her right hand.
Biu!
A white arrow with a sharp aura shot towards Wei Chang. This was also part of Brittany's basic attack.
The white arrow instantly disappeared into the swarm of black insects. Faintly, one could still see a white glow.
Brittany's expression became serious.
Wei Chang stood still, not moving at all. The white arrow, like smoke, collided with the centre of Wei Chang's forehead.
