Chapter 64 : A Life For A Life Part 2

With such a loud sound of flesh being pierced by a demonic blade, it caught most of the cultivators attention, mostly Mo Xian and Bai Lan who were the nearest to heard that sound.

Liu Xiao was gripping tightly on Wu Qingge's sleeves and a fine and long red blade was penetrated deep into the side of his chest. Bai Lan's pupils trembled wildly and suddenly cried,

The demons were too many on their area and they were only using their bare swords without spiritual qi, if Bai Lan can use his spiritual qi earlier, he would've blasted them into pieces and rush on Liu Xiao's side but they were now no different than an imperila guards. A cultivator lived in their spiritual qi and without it, they wouldn't be able to do anything.

Bai Lan gritted his teeth and couldn't help but yell as he continued to shove away the demons who were blocking and pouncing on him using his sword. He lost too much control that he even forgot to aid Lan Yang's side who was already injured.

Lan Yang said as he continued to swing his sword and endured the sharp pain on his right shoulder.

Bai Lan clenched his fist to the point that it was bleeding, his other hand gripped tightly on the hilt of the sword while he stared at Liu Xiao who was continuing to say something to Wu Qingge as he gripped the sleeves of his black robe tighter to endure the pain of his flesh being ripped apart.

Bai Lan proceeded to aid Lan Yang but he lost too much focus and his mind was in a haze right now, Lan Yang gathered strength on his grip and swung the sword with a large force, blasting the demons away and he rushed to Bai Lan who was still looking terrified and punched him.

Bai Lan yelped at the stinging pain on his palms and immediately stood properly. A tear escaped on the corner of his eyelid that caught Lan Yang's attention. The righteous and stagnant first ranked cultivator on the cultivation world is looking like this... Of course Lan Yang would feel troubled and puzzled at the same time.

But before Lan Yang could say anything, Bai Lan swung his sword with a huge force and the heads of the demons who were about to pounce on them went flying and blood immediately spurted and messed the beautiful crystallized floor.

Mo Xian on the other hand was too weak to say anything, he only stared at Liu Xiao with a wide eyed and terrified expression. He struggled to crawl on the crystallized floor that was now bathed in blood and panted heavily.

A demon noticed him from afar and notuced that he was in a fragile situation, the demon drooled and laughed hysterically and suddenly ran on his direction with a loud shriek. But before the demon could touch even a strand of Mo Xian's hair, a fan sliced his head into pieces and blood gushed out on the flesh of the demon's neck that even Mo Xian's cheek was stained and the cold body of the demon fell infront of Mo Xian with a loud thud.

Mo Xian turned around at Tian Lang, before he could continue his words, his vision became blurry and his head became dizzy, Tian Lang on his peripheral vision caught him and only whispered.

Shan Ling was still frozen at the sight of a red blade pierced on the side of Liu Xiao's chest. Liu Xiao groaned in a low voice and breathed heavily, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his chest when he tried to breathe so he minimized his breathing as possible as he can and continued to stay awake.

His throat was slowly becoming dry and his vision was getting black and blurry but Liu Xiao could only bite his tongue to stay awake and turned around and glabced at Shan Ling.

Shan Ling's eyes widened and abruptly shook her head.

Liu Xiao was getting impatient and he swallowed the blood that was about to gush out of his mouth again and shouted.

Shan Ling shuddered and slowly nodded then sobbed, she pulled Chen Yi who was still unconscious with her and retreated from Liu Xiao's direction. Liu Xiao let out a sigh of relief, if Shan Ling stayed still behind him and Wu Qingge noticed her, he would've killed her and Chen Yi along with him.

Liu Xiao raised his trembling right hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword that was penetrated in the side of his chest. Liu Xiao was breathing slowly to ease the pain and he didn't dare to move because the sharp edge of the blade will penetrate even more inside him.

Wu Qingge didn't answered and stood still looking expressionless and stiff, his eyes radiated a glowing purple and his thin lips was slightly open. Liu Xiao snorted and raised his hand weakly to jab Wu Qingge's shoulder. the blood that he was trying to swallow earlier spewed out of his mouth, making his pure white robe with golden butterflies embroidery stained with blood that gushed out of his mouth.

Liu Xiao was still not ready to wipe his own blood that was dripping on the corner of his mouth when the sword that was pierced in his chest was pulled out, Liu Xiao screeched in pain from the flesh that was ripped apart inside him and he quivered wildly, unable to breathe from the sudden pain.

Blood spurted out from the side of his chest, Liu Xiao was looking at his own blood with fear and terror and he really wanted to pass out from the unbearable pain that he was feeling. But if he pass out, Wu Qingge will kill the others and he won't forgive himself for it. Liu Xiao bit his tongue again, stood immediately while he remained trembling and went to stop Wu Qingge who was about to walk on Shan Ling's direction.

Liu Xiao had no idea what he will do to stop him. He can't use Huangtian because of his body and he can't just interrogate the old palace master to know how to stop Wu Qingge from killing everyone in here. Even just a single step, the pain on the side of his chest made him want to scream and cry but he continued to rush to Wu Qingge's direction who was walking while gripping tightly on his sword.

Liu Xiao ran limply and when Wu Qingge was on his grasp, he let out a heavy breathe and ignored the pain on his chest and grabbed Wu Qingge's robe then stopped him.

Again, a stabbing pain made him shudder again. The long red blade penetrated deeply inside his stomach that made him cough a mouthful of blood. Liu Xiao continued to shudder with his eyes widely opened, he continued to bite his tongue to stay awake and jabbed Wu Qingge's shoulders and endured the torturous pain that lingered inside him.

The red blade slid out of his body, then pierced on him again. It keeps repeating and repeating and Wu Qingge unconsciously keeps stabbing him to death, not knowing who he is and not knowing what he was doing. Liu Xiao remained infront of him, still stubbornly blocking his path and not surrendering to death.

Ah...it hurts! It fucking hurts! I want to die already!!! Tears started coming out on Liu Xiao's eyes as he bit his lip to stop himself from screaming and continued to block Wu Qingge from everyone. A beautiful purple light radiated on his blurry peripheral vision that caught his attention. He lowered his gaze and saw that the black and purple ring on Wu Qingge's left hand was glowing to the point that it was about to burst.

Liu Xiao wasn't able to hear anything anymore, not even Bai Lan who was shouting and calling out his name from afar or Shan Ling who was terrified and what she was seeing and keeps calling him "Brother Liu!". The black purple ring also radiated a glow on Liu Xiao's left hand and in that moment, he could only gamble in his idea and raised his quivering left hand.

The two rings made a contact and a wave of purple electricity appeared and exploded, the two rings were now broken and the glowing purple eyes on Wu Qingge went back to his usual one. The sword that was repeatedly stabbing Liu Xiao stopped so he raised his weakened gaze to see the person infront of him, a drop of tear dripped through his cheeks followed by another one that made his face soaked wet and the blood on his face was slightly cleaned by the tears.

Wu Qingge was staring at him, with disbelief and terror showed on his face. His red eyes was opened wide and trembling with tears rushing down on his cheeks down to his jawline, his trembling lips was slightly opened but no words came out and his hand that was holding the sword earlier loosened, the sword fell on the crystallized floor with a loud reverberating clanging sound.

Liu Xiao's lips that was bathed in blood let out a weak smile. he let out a sigh of relief and let himself fall on the ground, before he could fall, Wu Qingge immediately crouched down and catched him.

The warm hands that were holding Liu Xiao was trembling so much to the point the Liu Xiao also trembled, he glanced at Wu Qingge's face who was looking at him with a dreadful expression the tears that was streaming down on Wu Qingge's face was dripping on Liu Xiao's cheeks, giving him a sense of slight consciousness.

Liu Xiao was starting to breathe in a shallow way, he felt his heartbeat started to weakened little by little but he didn't show it on his expression because Wu Qingge was lookibg at him.

The man who was holding him didn't have the courage to reply, he remained to hold Liu Xiao who was breathing weakly in his arms. Liu Xiao saw the broken rings on his blurred peripheral vision and lowered his hand to grab it, his hand was trembling as he raised it and showed Wu Qingge the two broken rings on his palm.

Wu Qingge swallowed hard and two words came out of his trembling mouth, he immediately infuse a black purple qi to heal all of Liu Xiao's stabs but his body were filled with so much holes and the blade of the demonic sword will leave curse to the target and the wound will not able to heal, even the Black Lotus Cultivation itself.

Liu Xiao stared at him for a long time before he replied,

Wu Qingge's trembling arms started to hug him tight as he said two words repeatedly in a deep hoarse voice.

Liu Xiao couldn't say anything anymore, the blood rose again from his throat and dripped down to the corner of his mouth, he breathed his last breath with his eyes opened and such a thought lingered on his mind.

We didn't even had sex and i died like this....fuck...

Meaning that the setting will only be in one place but that doesn't mean the time is also the same. So there might be a chance that the characters might meet unexpectedly or maybe they will be mentioned in this story or in the others. I love you all i always read the comments and i'm thankful!
