Deathly silence filled the entire atmosphere. What one could hear were just faint breathing and the cold whip of the wind.

What Jin Rou said was like provoking the entire Havenleaf Constellation! Who were they? Though Havenleaf was not that strong, they were still a constellation that was created by an Ethereal!

The dark eye and white eye didn't expect that Jin Rou would say something like this, "If this young man isn't insane, then his background must be powerful to spout such words. Provoking a Heavenly Saint like this? The Dao of the Saints is different from the sovereigns."

The white eye didn't say anything as he gave his full concentration to the current events happening.

After a long while of silence, Saint Markuz finally spoke," Is there really no way other than this?"

"No more choices, Sir Markuz." Jin Rou smiled and answered, "It's either you step back and survive or save them without a chance of winning. I'm already merciful that only two of your sovereigns will be killed. If your entire main force were to be annihilated, do you think your constellation will survive?"

This was Jin Rou's honest thoughts. Jin Rou was already giving this party too much mercy that they didn't even deserve. If the other party would still remain indecisive or chose to save the two sovereigns, he would not hesitate to kill them all.

Heavenly Saint? That's nothing much in Jin Rou's eyes. Only Ethereals might be an appetizer for him.

"This..." For the second time, Saint Markuz was speechless. Indeed, Jin Rou was already showing mercy by killing just two of their sovereigns. Though the constellation would bleed a lot because of this loss, at least, there were still remaining sovereigns that would hold their fort, albeit more difficult. He could not help but close his eyes first.

After a long pause, Saint Markuz finally opened his eyes and answered, "Then I shall abide with Youngmaster Jin's ways."

"Saint Markuz!" Mateflower, who stopped circulating his qi violently, suddenly lashed out in anger, "You're ditching us? Then what have you came here for? To watch us die?!"

"Watch your words, Mateflower." Trueknight glared sharp daggers against Mateflower, "Remember, I already told you to swallow this but you didn't listen. This fate is because of your wrong decision. As well as you, Duxiao."

"…" Mateflower and Duxiao didn't know what to say.

"I tried my best in saving you two." Saint Markuz sighed in helplessness and looked at the Mateflower and Duxiao with sadness in his eyes, "But I can't risk the entire constellation for the lives of you two. You should know that it is my responsibility to uphold the survival of this constellation."

"So you will let us be sacrificed for the survival of Havenleaf?" Mateflower asked.

"No, this isn't sacrifice. You two brought this upon yourselves. So you couldn't blame anyone for this." Saint Markuz retorted.

The two sovereigns' expression darkened and pale. Indeed, they knew themselves that they were entirely at fault here since they let their emotions got the better of them. Besides, they were the one who sought for trouble while Jin Rou didn't disturb the constellation any longer.

And Jin Rou wasn't at fault for killing Mateflower's lover. After all, she was the one who attacked first. In a sense, while Jin Rou really intervened that time to protect the sect, Jin Rou acted in a self-defense as the enemies were the one who initiated a fight. In fact, Jin Rou told them to leave if they wanted to survive but they took it as a provocation and bluff.

"Since it came to this, might as well have everyone die with me, then!" Mateflower once again circulated his qi violently towards his heart to detonate.

Seeing Mateflower doing this, Duxiao gritted his teeth and was planning to detonate himself also, "To the death!"

"These bastards!" Trueknight didn't expect that Mateflower and Duxiao won't give up still. They were willing to kill everyone here along them!

Trueknight and Blujin were about to stop them when Jin Rou suddenly moved. The long lightning sword was swung once again with a massive momentum aiming at Mateflower and Duxiao.

The two injured sovereigns saw this thus they circulated their qi faster.

"Plop! Plop!" However, the lighting sword had already reached them, cutting the two in half horizontally.

"Boom! Boom!" What came next was their bodies exploding into light particles and scattered into all directions.

Jin Rou had finally killed Mateflower and Duxiao. He gave them an instant death to grant Saint Markuz's little wish.

Saint Markuz looked at the particles being carried by the wind and took a deep sigh. They just lost two important figures in the constellation. It felt like their constellation being amputated by one arm.

It would took them ten thousands of years or more before grooming another one and who knew if Saint Markuz was still alive that time to watch over them?

Of course, he would feel bitter. Their constellation would surely experience a fast decline because of this loss.

Jin Rou released his lightning sword and it disappeared along with the dark clouds looking in the sky. He then looked at Saint Markuz and said, "Sir Markuz, I hope that the fued between me and your constellation will end here. I have already given you many chances. Stop bothering me and I won't bother you, too."

Saint Markuz snapped back into reality and smiled, "Of course, of course. Everything ends here, Youngmaster Jin."

Saint Markuz's instincts won't deceive him. It was keeping on giving him warning signals about this Youngmaster. It was as if it was telling him that if he couldn't befriend him, then stay out of his way.

Trueknight's and Blujin's decision was right. If only he had been notified about this sooner, Mateflower and Duxiao would probably didn't have to die.

After which, Jin Rou and Owner Bu walked away.

Seeing the back of the young man, Saint Markuz wryly smiled and softly muttered, "It's too late for regret, huh."
