The Romance Of The Thousand Loves
CH. 86. PAY DOWN DEBT

BOOOM...

Zanhong bounced down and formed a large crater due to Zanhong's body hit the ground. The old man got up wiping the blood coming out from the corner of his lips. He smiled looking at Rangga who was slashing towards him while aiming his fist.

Wuush..

The flying Zanhong greeted Rangga at high speed and clenched his hands.

Takk..

Taakk...

Rangga managed to land his raw bogem on Zanhong's face and Zanhong managed to hit Rangga's face with his right bogem. Both men are mentally backward.

At the beginning of the second Immortal battle, Rangga who had a higher cultivation base managed to master the course of the fight and Zanhong got wounds all over his body. But some time passed when the fight was almost over Rangga's victory, Zanhong took out a pill capable of increasing Zanhong's strength to the Intermediate level Immortal realm and healing Zanhong's injuries as well as restoring Zanhong's energy.

As a result, Zanhong managed to urge Rangga until the young man got a few punches that made him bounce. If not for the experience and techniques that Rangga has mastered from several lives, maybe now the young man is not able to keep up with Zanhong.

"Haha... Young man I am so amazed at you. At such a young age you are already at the Immortal Intermediate realm. What a great young man. You are truly terrifying beyond monsters. Unfortunately you were born in this world." Said Zanhong on the sidelines of his fight.

"Parents don't have much to praise me. You don't know me and you don't understand my life. Better get yourself ready for the last time." Rangga repelled Zanhong's weapon that was pointing at his neck.

Right now the fight of the two people had already almost reached the top by taking out their respective weapons. Zanhong used a black spear while Rangga used a white sword. Both of their weapons were equally high-level weapons that could become the snatch of people all over the world.

"Haha... What an incredible sword. But my spear is not inferior to your sword. Feel this."

STAR-BREAKING SPEAR

An enormous energy shot out from that spear and led to Rangga. Seeing that Rangga did not dodge, but strengthened his horses and created a protective layer of sword energy that even if touched from the outside, one's hands could be cut off.

Booommmm.....

The two energies collided giving off an extremely violent energy ripple. Whatever was beneath them was blown away even though it was a mountain. The two people were both bouncing away due to the clash of their energies. It was fortunate that the fight of the two Immortals was far from the life of a living being.

No less tense fight Grandpa Lao with his sworn enemies from the fight Rangga and Zanhong. Grandpa Lao also fought fiercely. His killing intent was so great shrouded in his greater vengeance. As a result of that grudge, Grandpa Lao managed to severely injure his opponent even though Grandpa Lao was also severely injured. But the faces of his two beloved disciples always overshadowed the dead Grandpa Lao at the hands of this enemy, always being a whip for him and making his blood boil.

Boommmm...

The old man bounced down and made a fairly large crater.

"Uhuukkk... Old bangka.. Your grudge is so great it turns out..." Said the man while holding his chest with his left hand, his right hand was holding a weapon, as well as his eyes were staring at Grandpa Lao who was hovering above him.

"Prepare yourself parents. The debt we used to settle right now." Grandpa Lao's words held back his anger. He breathed in deep breaths.

"Lao Tze, if it wasn't for your students killing my son, I wouldn't have killed them either." The old man began to get serious. He gripped his sword tightly.

"If it wasn't for your son, maybe my student wouldn't have killed him. Already Zurun, don't blame each other. Let's end this." Grandpa Lao closed his eyes. The faces of his two dearest disciples and the faces of Silvie, his favorite grandson born from his beloved disciple filled his memories. Their childhood and the marriage of the two students and the moments giving birth to Silvie in a condition of severe injury. Grandfather Lao could not stem the turmoil in his heart seeing the deaths of his two favorite disciples in plain sight.

An immense power flowed within Grandfather Lao's body, gathering in his grasp and channeling it into the sword he was holding.

A wind that had come out of nowhere blew fiercely around Grandpa Lao and Zurun. The longer the wind is getting louder and blowing in no direction.

Zurun her spit saw that. It was not that it was afraid because of the great power that Grandfather Lao unleashed but rather a forbidden technique that only someone who was at the Immortal realm could use. That is burning his life or sacrificing his age for greater power.

"It seems I can't keep quiet either. If this is what you want, I'll follow it. My one wish, if I die please don't destroy my descendants. They are innocent and do not know about this debt. They also did not follow my path. See you in the afterlife, my friend Lao Tsu." Zurun echoed. The old man floated up standing parallel to Grandpa Lao.

He also brought out his ultimate technique.

FINGER OF THE EXTERMINATOR.

From the sky above Zurun's head, five enormous black-colored fingers appeared. The appearance of those five fingers, made the earth shake.

Grandfather Lao was weaving his sword which contained an enormous energy that was enveloped with grudges, memories and tears. The sword energy that came out from Grandfather Lao's sword was so large and heavy that Grandpa Lao needed a great amount of power to weave the sword in his hand that had been enveloped in his sword energy. Two forces meet.

BOOOM...

BOOOM...

The great super sword Eneegi split Zurun's five large black fingers that blocked his sword attack. The already shrinking sword energy continued to move until it split whatever it passed through as well as the dimension where they fought split apart and unleashed a deafening fierce explosion. Even the ground that was exposed to the rest of Grandpa Lao's swordsmanship was also split apart and gave rise to a very deep and large ravine or valley.

Wuush..

Zurun's body swiftly slid down into the valley created by Grandfather Lao's sword slash. Grandpa Lao himself spat out quite a lot of blood from his mouth. Grandpa Lao was injured from forcing his strength that was about to split the black hand of the Zurun technique.

Gradually Lao's grandfather descended into the valley where Zurun's dying body lay.

"There is no eternal enemy in this world." Grandpa Lao smiled amid the pain.

"Huffa.."

Grandpa Lao exhaled as if throwing a load on his body. He closed his eyes again remembering the faces of his favorite students but did not appear again. Grandpa Lao smiled then collapsed on the ground right next to Ruzun who was no longer breathing.

Wuush..

Tang Xiao appeared near Grandfather Lao's body. The handsome young man breathed his breath. Although he did not want to interfere in their affairs, but the young man's conscience could not allow Grandpa Lao who was seriously injured and could have taken his life if not treated immediately.

"There is no eternal enemy, the worst enemy is vengeance itself. The weak man only became a game of Satan that flowed within him. Even gods, there is no absolute truth in them." Tang Xiao muttered as he placed his index finger onto Grandpa Lao's body and instantly the external injuries on Grandpa Lao's body disappeared unscathed. Then the young man shook his hand and lost Lao's grandfather's body.

Wuush...

Tang Xiao flew away from the abyss leaving Zurun's body stiffened helplessly. Tang Xiao flew out of the abyss while chanting a verse.

**The soul is entangled in wishful thinking

Temporary life nan mortal

Wrap the wound in despair

Forgetting comrades beating opponents

Overbearing taboos control wounds

War gendrang drew a tone

Sufficient as a witness

Leave wishful thinking and reach asa**

......................

Meanwhile in the place where Rangga and Zanhong were fighting had ended. Although Rangga was injured quite badly, the young man managed to make Zanhong dying.

Zanhong held onto his broken hand. He looked at Rangga with hatred but also amazement.

"Whether the number of times I tried, still I could never defeat you Lord Rangga. My destiny is always under you." Zanhong smiled bitterly. He seemed to be desperate for what happened to him later. Despite his desperation, he did not ask for the forgiveness of his life. For him to die at the hands of a great person was an honor Moreover before they had fought amazingly.

Rangga smiled wryly. Although they both have no grudges, but Rangga has become a hunter for Zanhong due to the brutality of the old man in front of him in a long time. Since Rangga was a teenager and became a traveling swordsman, he had pursued Zanhong to several continents. You could say they both knew each other.

"After a long time, people's grudges against you can finally pay off. Enjoy your place in old man's hell." Said Rangga smiling here while swinging his sword slashing off Zanhong's neck.

Zanhong who was about to curse Rangga, his words stopped in his throat as his neck had rolled down leaving wide-eyed from being too shocked.

Bruuks..

The insects fell on the ground. His eyes began to blur and finally slowly closed. But before closing, Rangga still had time to see the face of a handsome blue-eyed young man standing looking at him.
