The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 282 - The Last Breath
Along the path that Xin Fai crossed was only a pool of blood flooding in, towards a place where the demon heart was hidden. One by one the corpses lay lifeless in one swipe, leaving a scream that echoed in the large room.
Slowly the big door opened as the man who was carrying them turned it around with great difficulty, he pulled it very scared. Moreover, now that the Celestial Emperor Sword was clinging onto his skin, just a single scratch he was sure the veins on his neck would be cut off.
When the door opened the man immediately let in and then carefully stepped out of their sight.
To save his own life, at least he still has a life expectancy compared to his friends who are now lying on the street of their headquarters in a very sad state.
All of this was the cold-handed young man, not a hint of compassion was visible in his eyes.
Lang swept his gaze upwards, seeing the myriad of iron pipes used, he looked for the point where all the pipes were connected.
This room is quite spacious at the same time narrow, there is almost no room to move because it is surrounded by iron pipes and other tools. While Lang was still looking around for Xin Fai already knew in advance where it all came from.
He could feel the same power as the one in his body. Xin Fai moved ahead of Lang, overtaking among the iron-iron and arriving in front of a large iron tube following.
The Celestial Emperor Sword shot up high, in a single stomp splitting the tube in front of him until it spewed out an enormous amount of blood. Floods of blood were everywhere in that instant.
When looking into the contents of the tube, one thing that makes both frown is a heart that is still pumping.
"This Demon Blood Man... They studied the black magic of all the Empires for the sake of this, unimaginable as much as their ambition to rule the world..." Lang said slowly, approaching the heart and observing its beat that looked normal like an ordinary human.
"So this is the blood they use to mislead people? Like Zhang Bingjie..?" Xin Fai clenched her hands tightly, she knew very well how a person like her felt. An ordinary wanderer is suddenly forced to become a demon in order to survive.
And the story he had seen once before, while coming out of the Cursed Forest. A small family who had to live isolated because of their actions.
A man who is famous for being very good in his neighborhood must be a crazy demon who likes to take people's blood, shun everyone and leave his family. Until he died in the cursed forest with vicious rats.
Xin Fai caught the heart and pulled it from the tube, the fibers hanging as he managed to release it from there. It still looks like the heart is beating fast, the heart of the Devil Man's body's owner once was. They will continue to perpetuate it in this canister if it is not immediately destroyed.
Xin Fai let out an electrical force in his hand, making the heart start to suffer severe damage. He gripped her so firmly that it finally broke in his hand. Spitting blood onto Xin Fai's face.
"We're destroying everything that's here." Xin Fai moved his body in order to be able to see around, the pipes running across it being targeted. He used the Book of Seven Keys which in the blink of an eye made leaks everywhere. The wind of Daan Village had a crumbling power that was a hundred times stronger as he exerted more power.
In a relatively short time the most important place of the headquarters was completely destroyed, none of the objects from there survived. Lang destroyed just as much as his master did. Large tubes torn by its sharp claws.
It is seen from how they still try to kill even though both hands have been cut off. Xin Fai sharpened his eyesight to a point where a man was seen fighting five-on-one. The condition of bias is completely unaware of the surrounding colleagues.
"Lang, we have to save him!"
Lang quickly ran towards the direction Xin Fai pointed at, he did not recognize exactly who the man was but one thing that could understand the situation he was in was extremely difficult.
The man's body was bathed in blood, even to see that he was already in distress due to the blood flow that bathed his eyes. The sword in his hand now bounced away as the opponent's weapon hit him, the man fell to his feet. Preparing after him a large axe was about to cut his head in half.
Xin Fai's panic was really happening, their distance was still too far away, everything was going faster. Xin Fai could think of nothing more than saving the man.
"Vice Zhu!"
When Xin Fai mentioned that only people realized that Zhu Yue was in danger, they looked towards Zhu Yue frantically and found that the figure was in death row.
In the final seconds before the ax touched Zhu Yue's head, Xin Fai took out the Hell Fire Chain. No matter the strength it was sucked in so much while pulling out a very long chain to pursue their far distance.
Although it was able to fend off the small amount of axe but the injuries Zhu Yue had gotten were inevitable. An axe strike aimed at the shoulder. It made Zhu Yue scream when she had to endure the other pain that plagued her body.
Xin Fai caught up with Zhu Yue despite being a bit late, she took a heavy breath. Taking out the Demonic Human Sword to slaughter the five people in front of him. Not forgiving them one bit.
For him Zhu Yue was already like his own family, if they took Zhu Yue's life his anger would not be contained anymore. They have taken enough of what he has.
Xin Fai propped Zhu Yue's head up on her thighs, waiting for the man to let out his voice just a little. His breathing seemed to be about to stop blowing, no longer visible signs of life in both of his paled eyeballs. Under the cloud of cloud cover during the great battle, that second Zhu Yue exhaled her last breath.
Xin Fai was still unable to accept the situation, she shook Zhu Yue's arm slowly. "Vice Zhu..."
"...."
As much as whatever Xin Fai used his strength to recover Zhu Yue's heavy wounds seemed to be useless at all, the man was already injured too badly.
Only then did he realize, Zhu Yue was fighting with her heart pierced by arrows until her last seconds. At least, when Zhu Yue died the man had his own pride.
He met his end in the company of Xin Fai, the person he had admired so much over the years.
