Chapter 183: Two Different Endings
When those people became more excited because of the woman’s words, Duan Yixin opened her lips and wanted to speak. However, the moment she opened her mouth, she froze in horror. Lowering her head, Duan Yixin saw blood flowing down her chin and dripping to the ground.
She looked at the red ground and saw a piece of meat lying there. After Duan Yixin saw the thing clearly, her eyes shrank. She was shaking with fear and tried to speak, but all that came out was a series of strange sounds.
"Akh! Uh.."
When Duan Yixin was in shock, the woman turned around and pointed at her. She raised her chin and said proudly, "Witch, it is time for you to pay the price for your crime! Everyone, the auspicious time has come! Light the fire!"
Hearing this, Duan Yixin couldn’t help but think of her first dream. The pain of her body being burned by the flames was still vivid in her mind. She shook her head and tried to explain that she was not a witch, but all her efforts were just a joke in front of those people. They approached her with torches in their hands and laughed maniacally as they watched her desperately try to break free from the ropes.
Just as those people lit the firewood around her, Duan Yixin heard the sound of horse hooves approaching. She looked up and saw a man in black wearing a silver mask breaking through the encirclement of those people. When her eyes met him, Duan Yixin clearly saw his emotions.
Fear, despair, anger, unwillingness, helplessness, sadness, obsession, and deep love. His complicated emotions stunned Duan Yixin and distracted her from the pain caused by the fire.
Seeing her body being engulfed in flames, the man shouted anxiously, "Let her go!"
As he rushed towards her, he killed everyone who stood in his way. When the people surrounding Duan Yixin saw this, they took a few steps back in fear, but the woman was displeased and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Stop him! If we can’t kill the Witch today, then all of us will die! If you don’t want to die, then fight!"
