The Demon King's heir
[S2] CHAPPIE. 78 - CHOOSE TO REST

Yangzhi City western region, Qin Palace.

”Who are you?! How dare you do this to me!” said a man curled up on a large field filled with the bodies of guards and other members of the Palace.

After Shin Yixuan decided to face directly the troops who surrounded her residence, Guju immediately moved to attack and kill their place of origin. By now, everyone in the Qin court had been wiped out one by one. Most of them died from the snake venom that was on their bodies and a curse that came suddenly.

”You think I'm afraid of you? You are nothing compared to the King I served all this time and you have dared to rebel and disturb his calm?! Don't know yourself!” guju said coldly while stepping on the head of the Emperor who had previously devised a plan to destroy the Xieyu hill.

Guju came up with snake scales that grew under his eyes that were not like humans. His fingernails extended and hundreds of poisonous snakes crept out from under his sleeves. It was then that his patience had run out that made him go wild and kill the humans without the permission of his own master.

Before killing their Emperor, Guju had a chance to ask some of the things that were happening right now. All along, the news regarding Huang Luo's blood and flesh that was efficacious for being able to cure various diseases had spread throughout the region. Now, everyone wants it so much and they use various ways to get it. Then, the one who had already spread this news was Xiu Huan who was his palace advisor for many years.

”You once. Before long, everyone would definitely invade Xieyu hill after they learned of this moreover, there was an outbreak of an unknown disease. I must immediately take them all away from there.” Guju thought as he walked over one by one the corpses that were there.

Uh?!

Guju looked surprised after he felt this. His attention immediately turned toward the Xieyu hill. His steps stopped and his eyes looked unusual. ”... Whatisthis? No way! Why is the power of the mountain priest Houyuan there?!” inner Guju who instantly got a bad feeling.

***

Huang Luo took out a golden staff from her right hand. The wand had a crescent-like curved end with a small black sphere at the end. This stick is very important for a priest. Because when he has reached the peak of his strength, he will gather all his energy into his staff and will always use it when he wants to attack. However, if the staff is broken, the priest will lose all his strength and die within minutes even if he has something that makes him immortal.

”Luo-Ge! What the hell are you doing?! Stop it!” yun Weixian exclaimed in disbelief at what Huang Luo had done. To him, Huang Luo seemed to want to kill herself after she had simply believed what Xiu Huan had told her.

”You decided to fight with me?” xiu Huan asked while looking at him cynically. ”... How can you win over me when I know all the skills you have? Defeating a priest like you, might be something very easy for me. Uh! Could it be that you will kill yourself after knowing that you are the one who has spread this plague?”

Huang Luo looked at him seriously. His staff began to rebel as if it wanted to attack Xiu Huan right now. If Xiu Huan's words were true regarding the plague, he should have been able to kill himself to put an end to all this. But something that is easy to say is not easy to do.

”If your words are correct, I should also be able to lift the curse and put it into my body. But, if it was not me who did it, I would definitely not be able to lift it and could only help heal it.” Huang Luo said as she stuck her cane in front.

Xiu Huan smirked and said, ”Try to get rid of it. But I think you hope what I say is true. Because if it's true that you're the one who spread the curse, you don't have to bother looking for the culprit anymore, do you? I'm sure, after this you'll break your own stick.”

Huang Luo bit her lips and tried not to be affected by Xiu Huan's words to her. As the yellow light enveloped his body with both hands about to be stretched out, he suddenly felt a fall inside the hands of someone behind him.

”Don't do it, Furong.” said Shin Yixuan as she hugged Huang Luo from behind. The handle is so strong it doesn't want to lose it anymore. He finally knew that all along, Huang Luo who had appeared in his life for so many years was his own younger brother, Shin Furong!

Huang Luo was speechless looking down with her sad-looking expression. He touched the back of Shin Yixuan's hand which hugged her neck and said quietly, ”... I'm home, brother.”

CRANE!

An iron plate cut through a metal stick that was stuck on the ground. Simultaneously, a young man covered in blood appeared who had cut the staff using a broken sword.

The yellow light that had previously enveloped Shin Furong's body instantly disappeared. His wand turned into ashes that flew in the wind. Unknowingly, his nose spurted blood and his mouth spewed out a mouthful of blood that was not small. Instantly, both of his eyes widened and his legs were no longer able to support his own body.

”Furong!” shin Yixuan shouted that directly restrained Shin Furong's body as she fell backwards. His face immediately looked sad when in fact, he had just remembered his sister's face back.

”Luo-Ge!” Yun Weixian immediately ran over to Shin Furong after she threw Shurui's sword at the young man. He felt extremely shocked after seeing the blood continuously flowing out from within Shin Furong's nose with both of his eyes continuously closed.

No way! His wand had already been destroyed and he had lost all his strength.

It seemed, it was not just the two of them who felt shocked by the sudden incident. Xiu Huan was so wide-eyed as he watched death before his eyes. Xiu Huan grinned as he pulled out a dagger from behind his clothes.

Meanwhile, everyone who was outside the Xieyu hill was rendered speechless after the curse that was on their bodies disappeared slowly. Everyone thought of it as a miracle, but they never knew it was Shin Furong who had made the plague spread after Xiu Huan tried to use it.

”Furong! Please, wake up!” shin Yixuan said with an expression that looked so sad that it even made her cry.

Shin Furong opened his eyes slightly without looking towards Shin Yixuan and Yun Weixian who were also looking at him.

He did not dare to see it.

”I think I have reached the limit. hahh,.. it hurts so much.” Shin Furong said with his breath gasping.

”Please hold! I'll find a way to cure you!” shin Yixuan said as she looked around with her face looking very worried.

Shin Furong slapped Shin Yixuan in the face. However, as he had exhausted all of his strength, Shin Yixuan felt that Shin Furong was simply patting her on the cheek and did not intend to slap her hard.

”Do not do anything. Let me be like this for a second. It is time for me to rest for a very long time.” Shin Furong said slowly.

”Don't say that! You must be strong! Furong won't lose just like that!” said Shin Yixuan while holding Shin Furong's hand firmly as if she did not want to lose him. Meanwhile, Yun Weixian was rendered speechless after seeing her condition which made her feel a pressure.

”Sorry, for hiding my name. Supposedly, I never did because back then, I really hated you. But in the end I realized. If you are still the older brother and never change.” said Shin Furong who slowly began to lose consciousness.

Shin Yixuan did not stop biting her lips even to the point of making her bleed. This was the second time he had cried like this after he had witnessed Shu Ye's death before his own eyes. ”... Furong, please hold on for a moment! I don't want you to go again.” he said.

Shin Furong took the time to stare towards Yun Weixian who was on his left. Although his gaze grew increasingly blackened, he was able to clearly see the expression that Yun Weixian was showing. It was very similar to her father who never cried for her.

”A~ Dad,... Please protect brother.” said Shin Furong vaguely before he finally spewed out a mouthful of blood that contained shards of demon crystals that had turned black. Then, not long after, both eyes closed slightly and looked cloudy. His body did not move at all like it was frozen in ice.

”No! Him,... Dead?”
