Chapter 453 Death of Zefa
After fighting for five days and five nights, Zefa finally lost his combat effectiveness due to his accumulating injuries. After arriving at the only remaining corner of Hundred Flower Island, Zefa fell powerlessly from the air and fell into the flowers.
"Hahahaha..." Zefa, who was lying in the last patch of flowers on Hundred Flower Island, suddenly burst into laughter. He did not feel the slightest bit sad because of the defeat, but only endless joy and relief.
Lu Kai teleported in front of Zefa, sat cross-legged beside him, and looked at the latter with an extremely complicated expression, his mood was unclear.
"Teacher Zefa!"
"Hahahaha!" Zefa laughed heartily again, "Good job, little bastard!"
However, Zefa's laughter affected his wound, and the severe pain all over his body made him grimace. After a long time, he took a breath and asked Lu Kai, "Want to know the answer?"
Lu Kai nodded vigorously.
"Don't you already have the answer in your heart? Why ask?" Zefa looked at Lu Kai with all-knowing eyes and sneered.
"But this is even more strange, isn't it?" Lu Kai said in great confusion, "On the one hand, you are secretly planning, accumulating strength, wanting to destroy everything, but on the other hand, you are desperately revealing flaws, constantly delaying time, and constantly leaving opportunities for survival.
"With the strength you have shown, you can do everything you want, and you can do it without anyone noticing, so why do you..."
"To kill you!" Zefa's eyes suddenly revealed a terrifying murderous intent. He looked at Lu Kai with a ferocious expression and said coldly, "As long as I can kill you, I can do anything..."
Zefa's sudden murderous intent scared Lu Kai, because in that instant Zefa suddenly seemed like a different person.
Lu Kai could feel that Zefa was speaking from the bottom of his heart when he said this, but he simply couldn't understand why Zefa did this. Was he transferring all his hatred for the world onto himself?
"Since you want to kill me, why don't you run away and look for another opportunity?" Lu Kai continued to ask.
"Escape? Hahahaha!" Zefa laughed as if he heard a joke, "I've lost in my life, but I've never escaped. I never did before, and I won't do it now. You're not worthy of letting me escape."
After Zefa finished speaking, he just stared at Lu Kai, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
After a long time, the murderous aura on Zefa suddenly disappeared, and he became clear-headed again, becoming the Zefa that Lu Kai was familiar with.
The switch between the two temperaments made Lu Kai feel strongly disoriented.
"Stinky boy, I don't have much time left!" Zefa suddenly said seriously, "I'm not talking about my life, but my waking time.
"The evil god fruit is really a terrifying fruit. While it grants people unparalleled power, it will also constantly erode people's will, making me gradually move towards darkness and the abyss. It is a force that human power cannot resist at all."
"But you resisted, didn't you?" Lu Kai wanted to know more about the Evil God Fruit through Zefa, so he hurriedly asked.
"Resisted it?" Zefa shook his head and said, "No, I just took advantage of the loophole of the evil fruit and found a chance."
Seeing Lu Kai's puzzled look, Zefa was about to explain, but a vast and evil power surged out of his body, exuding the terror of destroying everything, and Zefa's breath began to rapidly decline.
Lu Kai quickly drew out the Ghost Sword and chopped down at the force, but it seemed like he was chopping at nothingness.
The force formed by the evil thoughts of the world's will circled around Lu Kai in a mocking manner, then flew rapidly to the north and disappeared from Lu Kai's sight in an instant.
Lu Kai stood up and was about to chase after him, but was interrupted by Zefa's violent cough. He quickly squatted down to check on Zefa's condition, and at the same time hurriedly took out a few drops of tears from the permanent space and sprinkled them on Zefa.
This tear belongs to Honey, the user of the healing fruit under Lukai. Her tears have miraculous effects on healing. Just one drop is enough to instantly heal a seriously injured person.
However, the healing fruit that had always been effective could only barely stop the rapid loss of Zefa's vitality, and there was no improvement at all.
Luke had reason to believe that once the effect of the healing fruit's tears wore off, Zephyr would die immediately.
In a hurry, Lu Kai immediately wanted to take Zefa to the headquarters, but was stopped by Zefa.
"I don't have much time left, listen to me carefully!" Zefa said quickly.
"I regret that the resentment in my heart erupted before I died, causing me to be targeted by the Evil God Fruit and almost causing a big mistake." Zefa seemed to be talking to himself, regardless of Lu Kai's reaction.
“The moment the evil fruit entered my body, I knew I was done for.
“But I soon discovered that the evil fruit’s erosion of people’s will was subtle and not instantaneous. I took advantage of my rationality and did a lot of things, and finally found the loophole of the evil fruit.
"Go to my house. I have recorded everything in a notebook. In order to avoid the detection of the evil god's will, I used some tricks, but I believe you can understand it."
After saying this, the vitality in Zefa's body began to rapidly dissipate again, but Zefa no longer felt any reluctance.
“Hahahaha!” Zefa suddenly laughed out loud. He lay in the flowers and looked at the sky. He laughed, “I can’t remember how long it has been since I last saw the sky, the warm sun, the breeze, the fragrance of flowers. Hahaha, it would be great to die here, to die in your hands.”
At his deathbed, a road suddenly appeared in front of Zefa, and at the end of the road there was a small wooden house.
In the yard of the wooden house, Zefa saw his wife and son again. This scene was so real and so warm.
Zefa couldn't help but shudder all over and rubbed his eyes hard, only to find that the scene was still there.
Not an illusion?
Zefa's heart beat faster and faster. Afraid of losing everything in front of him, he quickly ran towards the yard.
Just as he approached, his wife and son turned to look at him, smiled with some surprise, and then mother and son walked towards him hand in hand.
Looking at his wife's still gentle and sweet smile and his son looking at him with admiration, Zefa couldn't control his tears and burst out.
The mother and son were speechless. They both stretched out their hands to Zefa, pulling him from the left and right, and walked away, disappearing at the end of the path.
In front of Lu Kai, Zefa, who was lying in the flowers, showed a long-lost smile on his face.
A ray of sunlight shone down and illuminated Zefa's face, making him look extremely satisfied and comfortable.
Lu Kai didn't know what Zefa was thinking in the last moments of his life. He sat beside Zefa's body in a daze, looking a little distraught.
He couldn't describe his mood, which was extremely complicated and depressing.
How could a hero in my mind end up in such a situation?
"Teacher Zefa's home?" Thinking of Zefa's last words, Lu Kai decided to go and find out.
After burying Zephyr and using the power of the Space Fruit to isolate himself from all distractions, Luke bowed deeply to Zephyr, opened the door to the dark space, stepped into it, and disappeared on the spot.
In Zefa's house, Lu Kai searched every corner but found nothing. Lu Kai could only continue to expand the range of his perception, trying to find some clues.
The invincible space was stretched out for twenty miles. Lu Kai's eyes suddenly became stern. He disappeared from the spot with a teleportation and came to the underground for twenty miles.
A special basement has been opened up here. It is very small, only a dozen square meters, and the furnishings are very simple, with only a table and a chair, nothing else.
There was a notebook on the table. Lu Kai walked over and opened it. Just the first sentence written on it made Lu Kai's eyes moist.
