Xin Fai arrived, already trying to come as quickly as possible but what she got at was the thing she would never want to see. After being nearly killed by the Demon Queen, this time Xin Chen also experienced the same thing at Qin Yujin's hands. When he realized there was not a single breath left from his second son Xin Fai could not distinguish between right and wrong anymore.
He only wanted to kill Qin Yujin, with the overflowing wrath boiling her blood, that vengeance was indeed nothing, but the great wound in her heart had to be dealt with immediately. Qin Yujin must be rewarded for the death of his son.
Seeing Xin Fai start to intensify the massive attack Qin Yujin did not stay silent, she defended herself and retaliated. Feeling the same anger at Xin Fai, all of this was because of the man.
If that day Xin Fai did not get him in jail, it would not have been this bad.
With his strength Qin Yujin raised the pieces of mountain ruins overhead, the rocks darted rapidly over Xin Fai. The man broke through by attacking him straight, no matter one by one the scratches injured him. The fist was burned by the greatest power he had never unleashed since he had last defeated the Ice Dragon.
The Red Fire Flower flared up along with the growing fury, Xin Fai did not want to think sane anymore. His son became a victim and had to take his life. His golden brown eyes were wet, the man looked like he wanted to cry but he held on as hard as possible in front of the enemy.
Xin Chen was the child who was the easiest to get along with, compared to the rigid Xin Zhan and was more familiar with Ren Yuan. When other people see the two of them joking, they look more like peers than kids. Xin Chen had always called him Captain, even though he knew his father was an honorable Pillar.
The boy had always made his shoulders stronger in order to sustain the Shang Empire. Seeing little Xin Chen who was so easy to laugh and cry, became an encouragement as his body was exhausted. And now the son took turns with him, standing in front of the enemy and protecting others behind him despite the loss of life.
His fists tightened not accepting, Xin Fai attacked directly from the front. For a moment he thought about Qin Yujin. But he was wrong, the man was much more powerful than he expected, because it was possible that Xin Chen was unable to defeat him.
Xin Fai kicked the rocks Qin Yujin threw back, tens of thousands of blades of light charged towards the man, chains of hellfire shot out from the ground and rose up into the air. Everything was only to hit Qin Yujin. His opponent was unwilling to budge, all his strength he used for large-scale attacks. Three hours into the fight, Xin Fai managed to hit Qin Yujin's chest once. While his body was twice exposed to the demonic light, even so Xin Fai had a defense strong enough that with his shield he was only exposed to 30% of the original attacks.
Starting to get battered, Xin Fai was sure his enemy was also starting to get overwhelmed. He stared at Xin Chen's body that was lying, so cold and stiff there. His teeth were resounding violently, he had to end this as soon as possible.
"The Forbidden Book - Dimensional Space Transfers," he said, Qin Yujin was wary. Unable to be lied to, fighting Xin Fai who was engulfed in anger was a thousand times more terrifying than the usual man. An even enormous power from a demon could be severely drained by the man.
Xin Fai came from the side, Qin Yujin fended off. He disappeared again. It then emerged from the empty space behind Qin Yujin.
Xin Fai's hands were clearly visible, Qin Yujin was in action. Xin Fai was now within his range, thus he easily killed using the power of blast light. But while he was gathering strength, the man completely disappeared.
"No way-!"
"You're wrong" Xin Fai said, slashing a sword at Qin Yujin's head. The head fell rolling on the ground, bleeding still with bulging eyes. Xin Fai smashed his hand, making the bloodstains on the sword splash onto the ground.
"I'm not going to forgive you, you're the rotten man I've ever met."
"Rrotten man ...? Hahaha," Qin Yujin laughed even though her head had been separated from the body.
"Some say that a good man dies faster than a rotten man like me."
He smiled so wide that the corners of his lips wrinkled. So horrible.
That demon's head and body turned into an ordinary demon. It was not Qin Yujin, Xin Fai was fooled. The man used a change of pace, one of the moves he rarely met. Xin Fai widened her eyes, knowing the threat was already lurking behind her.
"Good people must die quickly. Let this rotten one laugh at you from here."
Qin Yujin directed her hand towards Xin Fai, at the same time a spell appeared. It was the harbinger of one of Qin Yujin's deadliest attacks. The ancient spell turned and began to glow.
When the light came out of Qin Yujin's hand and pierced through the spell in the air, instantly a greatest demonic explosion light came out. Xin Fai turned around and saw that things were turning around so quickly.
"Your shield won't be able to withstand this attack. Go die with your son." His eyes were cold, Qin Yujin did not care anymore. He had already settled his grudge and this world would be destroyed once those two barriers were gone.

"Why are you sad?"
Little Xin Chen was stunned, his innocent gaze leading to a man with a silly smile. The beam behind the man made a dark shadow cover his face, the man was standing in the cave pit where Xin Chen was. That man was Lan An, his father's best friend.
"Everyone mocked me" he said, blushing his cheeks from crying for hours. That day, the Gurus in the White Mist Valley tested the abilities of the young warriors. Only he has not been able to master basic skills. People ridiculed him and dragged him to that place until he got lost and scared.
"You're a strong boy, who might lose so fast!"
"Where am I.."
Xin Chen was like drowning in an endless sea, there was only a beam of light from above, refracting it to his face. He lost his breath, his body numb, unable to swim upwards.
At that moment, he could only accept that everything had ended.
His blue eyes had turned brown again, the original color before the Fire of Eternity changed them. His entire strength slowly disappeared. Xin Chen sank deeper and deeper to the bottom.
Only the blue Fire Flower remained still burning.
"Is it really over?" his voice was hoarse, hoping there was still a small hope he could trust. His hand that was trying to grab the sunlight above clenched, slowly his bones and blood would fuse together with the ocean. Xin Chen did not know if death was picking him up.
The pressure of the water from above made it sink even more to the bottom.
"I still want to fight, I regret many things, damn it. I want to go back ... To hell with death. Let me back the bastard-"
Xin Chen forced his body to move, when that chain came out of nowhere and bound his legs and hands.
The regret inside his chest grew increasingly fiery, Xin Chen had not had time to thank Lan An's grave well, accompanying his mother every day, honoring Xin Zhan as his eldest brother and even obeying Xin Fai. He wants to go back to fix it all.
Out there were thousands of hands expecting a helping hand, Xin Chen could not let them die. He shouldn't have died so soon.
His teeth fused tightly together, trying to break away from those chains. Air bubbles rose to the surface, Xin Chen shouted.
"Oi, shit! Anyone who listens to me! Just give me life one more time, I have to go back!" He shouted, his mouth started to be filled with water. Maybe soon the ocean will devour it.
The small bubbles numbering in the thousands rose to the surface, until Xin Chen could not see clearly anymore. He's desperate. It's free. No one heard it.
A bright light appeared behind his body, like a door trying to pull him.
Perhaps, back then Xin Chen thought everything had ended.
But a hand appeared. Xin Chen could not see who that person was. His hand immediately severed the chains wrapped around him in order to receive the helping hand.

The Demon God woke up, he did not completely die. Although unable to fight and only limping. His body trembled to get up, he headed towards one of the bodies lying on the rocks.
"Hey son of man" he called. "I realized something while fighting with you."
The Demon God shrugged his shoulders, regret being seen on his face. "We never really hated each other, between you and me ... We are only forced to fight by circumstances. While being a Demon God I forgot all the things that Father said. I forgot that," she's cut.
"I've never hated a human like you, I just hate a human who thinks we're enemies."
He touched his chest, his hands were shining red.
"The fruit of Eternity is able to save you, one of the hidden wonders that make it contested by humans is being able to save someone in any critical condition."
The Demon God pulled the Eternity Fruit from within his body. He won't die, only he'll lose a lot of power. Right now his body was already heavily injured and the Fruit of Eternity was of no use anymore. He inserted the thing into Xin Chen's body. A bright light appeared for a moment and disappeared within five seconds.
"Only once can I save you. Don't sacrifice your life again before it's all over,"
The Demon God was stunned for a moment, although it still had not gained its consciousness Xin Chen's body began to respond. Suddenly the Fire of Eternity began to blaze all over his body. His blue eyes opened wide, he woke back from his death. This time for the third time.
"Devil is more terrible than the real devil." murmured the Demon God as he looked at the look in those eyes.
