The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 34 - Hampa's Death
"Give me your strength."
"Why do you want it?"
The voice echoed in his subconscious. Xin Chen knew it was the voice of the Lightning God, his tone sounding wrathfully unkempt. But rather than being angry at him, the figure seemed to be even more wrathful at what was happening on earth now.
"Humans will be devastated by something far beyond their control. To deal with that power, it required an equivalent or even more strength" he held back his sentence. "Or it will happen again. What befell the Lightning Fox will continue to happen to other Earth Ruler Demons. Until there's nothing left but destruction caused by the Dark Dragon."
A growl sounded faintly, before Xin Chen had never spoken like this directly. However, the power of lightning on it was as if it was a sign that the God of Lightning was there. Watching himself in this fight. Not that he didn't realize why the weather over the last few weeks was so different. That figure without a real form, the Lightning God was really paying attention to every step of it.
Just like the Lightning Fox said back then. Xin Chen could not deny that the figure was not very fond of him. Because basically the pure power of the Lightning Fox is only intended for powerful demons like the fox while he is only a human with a fragile body.
"Your immortality makes you unworthy of being called human."
Xin Chen fell silent without retaliating. The voice still continued to sound in his head, Hela rough breathing sounded worried. "You will be smashed to pieces by the greed for power. You've seen it for yourself, haven't you? How did two swords result in the bloodshed of hundreds of thousands of lives?"
The Lightning God had always questioned that. Why does man darken the eye of what he has not. Dare to risk anything and do not want to give up on each other. The cloudiness and storms that have recently appeared are the result of his wrath. In fact he could have knocked down a lightning bolt in one go that could have killed almost an entire human beneath him. But he can't do that.
Because it's none of his business. But he always felt unsettled.
"If only the Thunder Fox were still here. I can count on her ..." His breath was restrained again, restlessly haunting him every time.
"Then why don't you trust me? The Lightning Fox is my teacher-"
"You are only a human being with an immortal body. You have a more intense feeling than a demon. Your mind can change with the circumstances. What if after I give you help you use it for your own sake. For example, to take revenge for killing another human being?"
"I am selfish. I did everything I could to bring my father home. And to do so required many lives to be sacrificed. Including the thousands of human corpses you're looking at."
"Why are you so honest. You don't intend to hide it even though knowing that answer will make me even more angry?"
"I'm running out of ways to deal with this human in front of me. If the way I ask you for help is impossible then I'll create my own way."
"How's it?"
Xin Chen opened his eyes staring upwards, the scrolls of clouds and lightning there were growing bigger and bigger. The flow of lightning power increased with each second.
"I will draw strength from above and force it to use."
"You crazy? This much power is not a power that such a small body can accommodate."
"Just planning it won't make me die."
"alright. This time I'll help you."
In a quick matter of time, everything changes unstoppably. The black clouds formed a palm that pointed downwards, casting luminous ancient spells. No one would have expected to witness a power far beyond that of a human. There, they saw Xin Chen have it.
The thump in the sky roared, the rumble sounded like a beating war drum. Then beneath him Li Baixuan looked up, unable to believe what he was seeing. He laughed, bitter laugh. He will not be able to run anymore, fighting also feels impossible.
"This death is the best gift after hundreds of years of my life."
The man raised the red weapon in his hand, then his eyeballs gradually towards Xin Chen who was standing not far away looked at him sharply. Those eyes, Li Baixuan could never forget. Surprisingly his heart felt no more grudge or anger on the white face of the young man.
For so long, Li Baixuan involuntarily smiled. A smile without greed or arrogance that has been shown. His heart is more relieved.
'Finally I can rest, without fear of being thrown away. Someone gave this opportunity away so beautifully.'
His red eyes stared pushyly up at the sky, those rolling clouds looked so charming in his eyes. Beautiful heartless.
"your name ... Xin Chen, right?"
Samar, Xin Chen could hear him speak. There was no answer, but his gaze was enough to answer Li Baixuan's question just now.
"I don't blame you if you think I'm the bad guy." Li Baixuan raised her hand, trying to grasp the sand dust that flew away even though her hand remained empty at the end. Just like his heart.
"I feel we're the same. Loss is a wound that has no end. It hurts, even for the one who feared thousands of humans like me." His rough breathing sounded, but the shade of his eyes began to soften. Recalling his past with his dead brothers killed the Spirit Users of the Qing Empire.
"Honestly, it's true that I want to rule this entire land. Dropped the Emperors and took over the entire empire. You know why?" His eyes looked sad as he said so, there were too many wounds he buried deeply and today it all hurt again.
Xin Chen slowly widened his eyes, the Lightning God will kill the man a while longer. The power gathered above Li Baixuan had reached its limit and was about to fall. Destroying the surroundings within a wide distance. Li Baixuan showed no signs of running again like before. The situation that Xin Chen was supposed to be waiting for slowly changed.
"I want a peaceful world. Without war. Without Spirit Users. I want to be the strongest, so I can protect everyone. Without anyone's help, I've had enough."
Xin Chen's eyes opened perfectly. Then the next second he saw a very powerful leap of lightning hit where Li Baixuan was standing. The contours of the cracked ground trembled, the tremor felt a bit longer than it should have. The power of that lightning curse, was much greater than it should be.
On the other hand Xin Chen was ringing in excitement at Li Baixuan's words.
"Protecting everyone by being the strongest human being?"
Shocks were still continuing all around, some unable to resist the wind that came bouncing away. The giant crack was finally seen as the dust moved away from Li Baixuan's place. Then the sky returned to its original state, leaving behind the remnants of the wind that carried Li Baixuan's last breath. The man who died in his nothingness. The ambitious, strong and fierce man looked fragile in the last seconds before his death.
