The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 178 - Heritage
Both sides continued to stand with bodies that were running out of steam and full of injuries, staring at each other with hateful and conflicted gazes.
"Lumayan is also your strength," praised Chao Mi, she tilted her head with widened eyes, silently holding back the overwhelming emotions in her heart. Only this time did someone manage to hit it so fatally, instantly making his ribs shatter a few and not just that, he said, the young man had a special technique and turned off his meridians so that now he was unable to expend as much as twenty percent of his strength.
The technique is only taught in some well-known colleges. The God Destroying Tread itself is said to have long disappeared from the martial world. But now Chao Mi did not expect to see him again.
The young man did not answer. He raised the sword parallel above his head and was about to end the fight.
Those eyeballs looked at Chao Mi with a gaze full of anger and determination to end her life. Chao Mi did not understand why the young man was so eager to kill her. From the beginning he wanted nothing but his life.
The opponent raised his sword and prepared to attack. However, suddenly, a luminous silhouette appeared before him. A man in an all-white robe appeared and took Chao Mi's run with him.
Before he left, the unknown man swung his sword with considerable force, until the mysterious young man was pushed back a few steps. His body shook, and the white mask covering his face began to crack and fall to the ground, revealing his true face.
The young man stepped forward about to pursue the steps of the man carrying Chao Mi, he tightened his right hand which was still holding the sword. His eyes continued to stare intently at Chao Mi, as if wanting to crush her with his gaze alone. Chao Mi flinched, there was a ferocious and uncontrollable force from the young man, making him goosebumps and unable to move himself.
The sound of her breathing was wheezing and her heart was racing.
"The eye ... The face ...He is the Devil who came back from hell. If he's right was a boy then ...." Chao Mi widened in surprise because she only knew who the enemy she had been facing since, her trembling hands were staring at the face of the young man's figure that was disappearing from a distance.
The cold of the night bent his body, the wind whispered softly into his ears.
The young man's face was deeply bent with thousands of regrets, he picked up the rest of the cracks of the mask that had fallen on the fallen yellow leaves. Then walk to the door of the ruined college. There was a sight before his eyes that was gloomy and pitiful, with the ruins of the college and the dead students lying here and there. The Golden Dragon College met with its destruction that night.
Xue Zhan regretted why he had come late. Everyone took their lives.
A few hours before the attack he had smelled the smell of bloodshed not far from the inn and sure enough as Zhou Shan said, the criminals were wandering around to find the items they wanted. Their goal was the Golden Dragon College and taking the heirloom of the White Jade Gem from them.
Just for that one heirloom, they took out hundreds of innocent people. Xue Zhan tightly gripped the shred of the mask to shreds.
"Can't be allowed. Human animals." Xue Zhan still remembered Chao Mi's face very well, she was the Fifth Light of the Red Taring that had attacked several years ago in Diqiu Imperial Palace. It was quite difficult to defeat him and Xue Zhan many times almost got hit by a fatal attack. He was lucky that Chao Mi was caught off guard and was able to reduce her strength a little.
Yet still in that fight Xue Zhan had not been able to defeat that woman. He whispered furiously, "Other times we will fight again. I'll make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow morning."
He walked into the Gold Dragon college that had been destroyed.
At the same time white smoke started to come out from the wound on his gaping chest and covered it like a thin mist. The smoke turned blood red and smoldering like fire. Slowly but surely, the fresh blood that had previously poured out from his wound began to stop, and the huge wound on Xue Zhan's chest began to shrink. After a while the wound shrinks and closes completely, until there is no scar at all. His body healed itself so quickly because indeed it was an advantage that Xue Zhan had.
Xue Zhan walked with slow steps towards the corpse of the Golden Dragon college leader. All around him, corpses lay on the ground with blood flowing freely from the wounds on their bodies. A sad and sad atmosphere covered the place.
Xue Zhan walked slowly towards the woman's corpse and saw something that surprised her. Inside the body was a baby who was still asleep.
Carefully, Xue Zhan retrieved the baby from the lifeless woman's corpse sling. The baby was calm in his arms, asleep soundly without crying like most babies. Xue Zhan smiled miserably, he took out something from under his cloak and poked it around the baby's neck, "This is yours, I return it to you. Sorry I'm late ... I can't save your family,"
His eyes held a deep sadness, Xue Zhan understood what it was like to live a day. Losing family, friends, and living as a demon that was constantly pursued by hunters, it all felt so hard for him.
Xue Zhan then looked around, looking at the scattered corpses and the ruins of the college. Realizing that no one had survived but the baby, she suddenly heard the sound of the foot creaking closer, and she knew she had to leave immediately.
Xue Zhan could not take the child with him. He placed it back onto the woman's corpse for the city soldiers to take good care of her while saying goodbye.
"Live well. I'm sure your parents loved you very much" he hung up for a moment. Xue Zhan asked inwardly.
Were the words also spoken by her mother when she was left alive?
Xue Zhan did not understand why. She was so pitying the baby that it was like pitying herself.
The object tied around the baby's neck is the heirloom of White Jade Stone, a relic of the Golden Dragon college that was captured by Chao Mi. It was just that Xue Zhan had time to outwit them and recapture them unnoticed.
Exactly when the girl left to leave him with Chao Mi, Xue Zhan unleashed an intangible Wind Sword Dance attack. The attack struck the girl silently and made an heirloom fall from her robe.
When Xue Zhan was bounced away by Chao Mi's attack, he had time to take the heirloom and keep it under his clothes. In another sense, the heirloom did not fall into the hands of the enemy.
Xue Zhan's intention was to give the heirloom to the baby because it was her right.
But Xue Zhan was silent in silence as he recalled the bad luck that had befallen him and the words of Ziran Zhao.
"The more power you bring, the more unfortunate your fate."
For a moment Xue Zhan could not imagine how much trouble the little boy would get if he brought one of the 100 World Miracle Heirlooms with him, either, he may have died like all his college students and parents. Nowadays everyone wants power and heirloom, not even reluctant to take the lives of others.
A few seconds he was silent, letting the early morning wind greet him. Xue Zhan closed his eyes, saying very heavily.
"I can't let you have as much misfortune as I feel. It's so painful, just so you know." He smiled weakly.
"I will take good care of your family's legacy and will not use it for evil. May you meet good people who can take care of you and accept your existence."
He patted the baby's head gently and took back the White Jade Jewel Heirloom before finally disappearing into the darkness of the night.
