Zhaoling's punch was successfully repelled by one of the men who landed right in front of him.
"How dare you attack Master Luo!" snapped the man.
Zhaoling stared cynically at the man who had just arrived. "Lujing. Don't interfere with my business with him! If not, then you will know the consequences!" threaten Zhaoling's.
The man named Lujing chuckled at the threat of Zhaoling. He even said a line of ridicule for her in order to provoke the man's emotions. However, Zhaoling was not the least bit provoked by Lujing's remark. He was only focused on killing Master Luo alone, regardless of Lujing.
But, Lujing didn't let that happen. He and a few others immediately attacked Zhaoling in order not to touch Master Luo.
"Xin'er!" call Zhaoling gesturing for his wife to stand beside him.
Without saying, Xin'er ran towards her husband because she did not want to make Zhaoling worry.
The gazes of Qianfeng, Liu Wei, and Yu Xuan were extremely sharp when the man opened the hood he was wearing. Seeing from the facial expressions of the four men beside him, that those that Lujing brought were not random people.
The five men smiled mockingly towards Zhaoling and the others. "For a long time no see, disciples of Shadow Dragon College!" greet them.
The eyes of the four men who were beside Xin'er bought. They sneered at the greeting of the five men before him, "apparently White Stork College students this relaxed. Can come here to interfere in other people's affairs" they sneered.
Lujing and his friends laughed. "I have to interfere, because it's about my grandfather's life!" lujing's assertiveness made everyone shocked.
It was fitting that Master Luo easily entered the White Stork college, because it turned out that his grandson Lujing was there. He was also the one who leaked the secret college moves that were on the scroll. Unfortunately, Master Lon Thong never knew what Master Luo was doing in college, as he was rarely on the spot.
"All right then! Don't blame us if you have to be killed on this battlefield!" gertak Qianfeng chimed.
"Sad. We prove who will be killed on this battlefield! We or you," Lujing and his friends laughed.
The fight was inevitable. They attacked each other with the power that each had. All moves are issued to conquer the enemy to death. But, it seemed like they were so strong, that none of the two lost this fight.
Although the forces under Zhaohan had been slaughtered by Xili and Xiang's forces, their leader had not died. Therefore, the task of killing enemy leaders was taken over by their leaders as well.
Zhaoling fought Master Luo and Lujing at once. Qianfeng fought two of Lujing's comrade's men and two more against Liu Wei. Yu Xuan and Xin'er fought Zhaohan, Zhaokang, Jihu, and the rest of their generals.
Their fierce battle had yet to be seen anyone would lose, as both of them had good abilities in martial arts. Zhaohan and her sister deliberately fought Xin'er because, assuming the woman was weaker than the others. He hoped to subdue the woman and threatened Zhaoling to hand over the Imperial throne to her as well. Had it happened, Zhaohan would have forced Xin'er to become his Empress.
A happy ray was seen in his eyes when Xin'er was overwhelmed by it. He laughed with excitement as soon as his plan would materialize, having Xin'er become his wife as well as the throne of the Empire.
Originally, Zhaohan only wanted to bluff himself by pointing the sword at Xin'er to get the woman to surrender. However, being too excited, so his movements were too strong until his body staggered forward. But who would have thought, when Zhaohan was about to hit Xin'er, Jihu suddenly blocked her attack. Thus, Zhaohan's sword pierced Jihu's stomach.
Zhaohan who saw Jihu blocking his attack could only sneer. "Basic fool!" but he was happy because it was not Xin'er who was injured, but Jihu. The person who is considered a friend, as well as his enemy.
"Sister!" xin'er shouted as Jihu's body collapsed right in front of him. "What are you doing, brother?" his face became panicked, when he found Jihu covered in blood. "Alingo. Please Brother Jihu," he shouted to Zhaoling but quickly stopped Jihu.
"Yoon. I'm sorry!" lirih Jihu tried to speak despite the difficulties. "I'm so guilty of you, my sister!" continue then.
Xin'er shook her head. "Don't say much, brother! Let me take you to the Physician to treat your wounds immediately" he said with tears.
Jihu's hand rubbed the smooth cheeks that had been fed by tears. "Tabib can't help me, Yoona. Only you can help me" he said with a smile.
Despite not understanding her brother's words, Xin'er still nodded while clasping Jihu's hand. "Say, Brother! What do I have to do to treat your wounds?"
Jihu's smile expanded when he got the nod of his sister. "Hug me! I just want to go peacefully without any more burden" she pleaded.
Without saying, Xin'er tightly hugged the already weak body from the loss of blood. He tried to stop the flow of blood, but Jihu clasped Xin'er's hand so as not to press the wound. It seemed, he had already resigned himself to leaving forever.
"I'm happy to die on your lap, Yoona." jihu said, smiling peacefully. Soon, his eyes were perfectly closed, indicating that he was gone forever.
Since there was no movement from her brother, Xin'er lowered her face to make sure. He was shocked when Jihu was already not breathing, "Sister .. wake up! Don't scare me! Come on, brother!" Xin'er shook Jihu's body but there was no response from the owner. "Kakaaaaaaaaakk,"
Xin'er's cry broke out after Jihu was completely gone for good. He was deeply saddened to see Jihu's departure in a state of being their enemy. If time could be turned back, perhaps Xin'er would choose to look for Jihu when in the forest of the time ban. But whatever the power, his life was in danger. If Zhaoling and his two shadow bodyguards hadn't found Xin'er, his life might not have been helped.
Xin'er raised her face, looking intently at Zhaohan who had witnessed Jihu's death. He clasped the sword tightly in his hand, then got up after putting Jihu's body on the ground. His hand pointed towards Zhaohan while shouting loudly.
"Zhaohanhas. You won't survive today" Xin'er ran to attack the man so fiercely. Zhaohan who got an attack from Xin'er repeatedly became overwhelmed. The reason, Xin'er's strength doubled after watching her adoptive brother killed by his sword.
Trang .. trang .. crash ...
The swords of the two hit each other, then scratched one of its users to drip blood. Not enough to get there, the two also continued the fight again until one of them fell to the ground with a sword that slashed his chest.
"Argh," a ringing came out from the mouth of the defeated with fresh blood dripping from his wound.
"Xin'er!"
