The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 84 - Truth and the Destruction of Faith
Justright. The two gems had carvings of the same name; gu Xuanhua. Jiazhen Yan's eyes widened, recalling the words of the Illusory Mist controller he had met who claimed to be the seller of the necklace and said that the necklace had two priceless pure gems, what Jiazhen Yan now has is only one of them.
Then why was the other one in Xue Zhan's hands?
Jiazhen Yan so remembered the moment of the woman's death, he gifted the jeweled necklace before her departure. And his father once said that,
"The person who has this one piece of gem is my mother's true killer," the young man muttered as he looked at Xue Zhan sharply.
The thunderbolts struck increasingly became-so above them.
That time Jiazhen Yan looked at her in a completely different way. No longer as a friend for life, but enemies who kill each other between life and death.
"So you're the killer, Xue Zhan?!"
Those eyes glared with thunderous screams, Jiazhen Yan has never been this angry.
"Kill your mother? Where possible!"
"My mother's given necklace had two jewels of the same name. When he died, he only gave the necklace with one jewel left to me. The one who has the other is the killer. I can't believe the man who killed him was the only friend I trusted the most."
The disappointment on Jiazhen Yan's face left Xue Zhan devastated as well.
Either the world is punishing him for living too peacefully, or it hates him so much that whatever he has one by one disappears. A very good teacher, a trusted friend, even everyone's trust in him.
Xue Zhan was forced to swallow a bitter pill, he had difficulty accepting that fact.
"I didn't kill your mother at all, you believe me, right? How could I have killed a grown woman as a child!"
Others are warming up.
"He is a demon, he can kill no matter whether he is a child or an adult."
Jiazhen Yan said as he shook his head, his eyes looking shattered. "I don't trust you anymore. All this time I thought we were the same, had demons inside each other and could understand each other. But it turns out that the son of a bitch was right. I'm just a fake demon, and yet you, you're the real devil."
Xue Zhan was speechless. All this time even though Jiazhen Yan was a person who liked to talk as well as if the young man did not offend his identity as a demon because he knew it was very painful for him. Now blatantly Jiazhen Yan said it in front of everyone.
"You're a demon more vile than any demon."
Jiazhen Yan took out his sword that was still lit by pure flames, walking towards Xue Zhan as he said.
"Forget our friendship. You and I are destined as two enemies, not as friends. I have sworn on behalf of my mother, whoever killed her must pay with her life. It doesn't matter if he's my best friend or not ..."
Xue Zhan looked at Jiazhen Yan who had started to be held back by Xiao Rong and also Xian Shen.
"I must kill him for my oath."
Xue Zhan shook his head, if it was about their friendship it felt like he didn't want to let it crumble just like that. But what can he say? Xue Zhan did not even know where the jewel came from and who was behind Gu Xuanhua's name in it. He could only laugh bitterly.
"From the beginning I came here, you were my first friend. How could I forget our friendship?" said Xue Zhan quivering, he also saw that, sadness in Jiazhen Yan's eyes.
Xiao Rong and Xian Shen could not believe that Xue Zhan had not explained anything and instead made others even more think that he was the killer. There must be something wrong, they're sure of it. But now that everything was done, Jiazhen Yan was going to kill Xue Zhan just like he said.
"Conscious, fool! He's your friend!" exclaiming Xiao Rong began to get drunk, the warriors began to strike back. Even their friend Jiazhen Yan fought them. Xian Shen obstructed with his body, that foolish action made him a moonshine of enemies.
Circumstances heated up over time, the battle claimed more and more lives. Those who were brothers are now enemies. Lightning and rain became silent witnesses of the fight at that time. A fight that wants blood and life as its growth.
Yin Xumei-brother of Father Yin Jiao ran brandishing a sword towards Xian Shen who was protecting Xue Zhan behind him. The young man belatedly noticed the movement from the front where the sword eyes were moving towards his chest.
The translucent sword blade on the young man's chest, Xian Shen widened his eyes wide.
There was a moaning sound and instantly a person spewed an enormous amount of blood from his mouth, more like vomiting blood.
Xian Shen shouted hysterically, "Xue Zhan!!"
His screams made Xiao Rong who was busy with the enemy turn his head in shock and found his friend Xue Zhan being killed on the spot with a sword piercing through his chest. Xian Shen held onto Xue Zhan's head that was filled with blood, he cried out violently.
"Fuck all of you! What do you really think, he's a human too! This was not his doing but someone else trapping and slandering him. You guys ever ask if he really did it?! But what?"
Xian Shen's lips trembled violently. "You didn't give him time to explain and kill him in such a way. You're all rottener than anjin g."
The insults from Xian Shen made some elders go up in black and directly beat the young man with a demon on his lap. Xian Shen hugged his friend tightly, not letting go. Xue Zhan coughed, his breath only a few beads left. He said cut into pieces.
"Thank you ... It's defended me."
Xue Zhan scoffed with a mouth full of blood. " ... Now that I realize, I still have a place that would accept my existence on this earth. It's in your hearts."
The cry of Xian Shen was no longer unstoppable. In addition to often calling his mother's name, it was unexpected that the handsome young man had a very soft heart.
"I'm sorry, I once thought badly of you. You're a good man, Brother Zhan. Unfortunately these humans are even more savage than demons."
On the other hand all the warriors approached to the edge of the abyss where Xian Shen held Xue Zhan.
Xiao Rong ran towards them in a panic because from the other side hundreds of other warriors had come after receiving the news of the demon that Emperor Ziran was hunting down in the Gorge of Regret. The number that is not playing it if seen how many times is very scary.
Unmitigated, even the warriors of the criminal group also appeared shamelessly.
"The devil has a head price exceeding one million gold pieces! Whoever gets it gets rich overnight!" shouted the leader of the group, he ran away in a hurry to bring eight colleagues.
Each of them has a unique weapon. The one with the bongsor body walked to the edge of the abyss, he twirled the chain that had a spiked round iron at the end. Throw it over the edge of the ravine until the rocks there crack.
Not only did it get there, hundreds of warriors simultaneously ran towards Xue Zhan and made the crack at the end of the ravine even worse.
A huge shock occurred, the edge of the ravine would be shattered soon. One kicked Xian Shen's body about to drop it into the abyss, Xiao Rong grasped Xian Shen's body swiftly using the power of darkness.
On the other hand some people were tugging at Xue Zhan's body like it was going to tear him apart. Xiao Rong shouted, "No-no!"
