Chapter 878: The Mysterious Masked Person
The door was split open by a sword, and Jian Shen strode into the room, with the Seven Monsters, now turned ash-gray, following behind him. Perhaps the Seven Monsters were formidable, and few people in the Martial Arts world could match them, but they were unlucky to have encountered a Jian Shen.
Jian Shen saw a person lying in a corner of the room and went over to see that it was indeed Master Jin. Jian Shen immediately checked on him, "Brother Jin, how are you?"
"Is that you, Jian Shen?" Master Jin, both shocked and delighted, clutched Jian Shen’s hand tightly, as if he still couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
"Brother Jin, I’m going to take you out of here now," Jian Shen said and then proceeded to help Master Jin up.
However, Master Jin shook his head, signaling that there was no need for Jian Shen to go to any trouble. Seeing Master Jin’s demeanor as if his heart had already died, Jian Shen was very worried.
"Jian Shen, I appreciate your attempt to save me, and I am thankful for having you as a friend. I am glad that I did not choose wrongly, but it’s already too late," Master Jin said with a bitter smile, his expression one of complete resignation to his fate.
Jian Shen seemed to guess what had happened and urgently asked, "Brother Jin, what exactly did they do to you?"
"They forced me to drink their blood, and then I would become a monster like them. I don’t want to turn into that, do you understand?" Master Jin’s eyes were filled with indignation and unwillingness, along with a readiness to face death, "Jian Shen, if you can kill the Seven Monsters, then you can kill me too. Please grant me this last request."
"This..." Jian Shen found himself in a dilemma, even though Master Jin had made up his mind and was prepared to sacrifice himself for righteousness, Jian Shen couldn’t bring himself to strike down an old friend.
