Chapter 425: Fallen Dragon (2)
Xing felt her stomach churning by the deep sorrow she felt.
Why is this happening?
If the portals are gone, she won’t be able to access the Medicine Garden of the Heavenly Emperor.
That’s when it hit her. While this would benefit the human realm now and in the future but she would be at a disadvantage. Till now she’d been greatly used to the comforts provided by the gods and it would be hard from now on.
But what needs to be done must be done!
And right now, he is the one who is in a bind. He knew it, didn’t he? Yet he made this decision.
Xing sat beside him and her eyes widened as she felt the hilt of her sword in her hands and the blade was pressed over her Master’s heart.
"What...", she couldn’t even continue as her throat closed.
"Promise", he said between a grunt. He could feel his soul getting ripped out of his body yet he held back.
"Did you forget lass? You made him promise that he should only die in your hands?", Bai Li reminded her and Xing staggered back.
"NO!!!", she screamed and her painful scream echoed in the mountains. But her hands were still gripped hard by the dying man in front of her. She felt a familiar hand holding her back and she turned to see Chenglei trying to comfort her.
Xing felt like a kite with it’s string cut at the moment - lost and hopeless. Her ancestor who is responsible for her existence is asking her to kill him. It was him who made her who she is now, partly, by teaching her the sword techniques that gave her the confidence to get through life.
