Chapter 14: You died in front of a young girl

“It’s the end of the mountain after all.”

The calm voice echoed between heaven and earth.

Compared to the naivety of childhood, the illness of the young girl, 20-year-old Xu Moli eyes like a pool of darkness, the appearance of the cold and absolute, between the fluttering of the sleeves like the heavenly court in the dust of the Flying Fairy.

Her black hair was like a waterfall, and was gently pulled back with a jade hairpin.

Fingers are slender and hold the sword to defend the enemy.

Lingering, strong, sharp.

No one knew what experience Xu Moli had, and between each move and style, all of them carried terrifying power, killing the devil cultivators to the point where they were chilled to the bone.

But manpower has its limits, with the devil cultivators laying down a large formation, Xu Mo Li, who was only at the foundation cultivation level, was soon caught in the predicament of being surrounded and blocked.

Dying?

Feeling the amount of mana that was no longer there, as well as the nearly shattered flying swords of the magic treasures, he also looked at the dense and impenetrable Devil Dao Formation around him.

Xu Moli laughed softly, killing intent in his smile.

“Demonic rats, come and fight!”

Ignoring the so-called persuasion to surrender, in the eyes of the Devil’s Way cultivators in shock and anger, the female Sword Immortal chopped out her final stunning sword, instantly killing two early Jindan stages.

Then he was bombarded by numerous magic treasures and fell straight down from the air.

Teenage girls know.

With the way the battle was going, no one was going to come to her aid to save her.

But she has no fear or regret.

Long ago, she was prepared to die at any time, after all, she was supposed to be the one who had walked through the gates of hell.

Only, at the thought of bidding the world farewell, there was more or less some reluctance in his heart, some towards the Heavenly Sword Sect, some towards his master Li Wanshou, and also towards Black Stone City, as well as-

The man who accompanied eighty-nine-tenths of his life, warm and reassuring, is now long gone.

It’s been three years.

Xu Moli had experienced many things and traveled to many places.

But no amount of brand new scenery can fill the void after that man leaves.

What kind of feelings did she harbor for that man? In every late night, Xu Moli would ask herself again in her mind.

Is it hate? I think so. I hate that he left without saying goodbye.

Is it love? It’s a little bit like it and not quite like it, different from all the love and affection in the regular population, it’s an indefinable emotion of wanting to be together forever and ever.

But it’s come to this.

There’s no longer any need to think about that.

After all, he, himself, was about to die.

Inexplicably, when his life was in danger, Xu Moli looked at the demonic cultivator who had re-stored his killing force in the air, and a fortunate thought surfaced in his heart.

Fortunately, that man had long since left the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Otherwise, he would have been in danger today as well, and probably even died, and that was an image the young girl never wanted to see.

“Rip-“

A sound like cloth tearing, echoing abruptly in the sky, caused the young girl who was frankly waiting for her death to come to freeze for a moment, and she looked up to the sky, only to find that the canopy of despair had been cut off by the shocking sword light.

Looking closely, a familiar bloodstained figure could be seen stumbling towards this.

That was the older brother she relied on the most.

It was her hero alone.

That’s the important person she rejoices over and mourns for.

But why, why is that person here!

“No, don’t …… stop, stop it!”

“No, no, absolutely don’t, don’t keep coming over ah-!!!” , panic and disorientation instantly took over the young girl’s originally cool face.

She vaguely foresaw something, an extremely frightening and absolutely unacceptable future.

But the Hsu system is still moving forward.

Like always, traveling to the girl when she needed him the most, the most.

……

“It hurts. It hurts too much.

[Your consciousness is overwhelmed by endless pain, and you’ve almost lost the ability to think, but you still remember clearly that the purpose of your trip is to protect your sister]

[You drive the wooden sword back to the long-lost Heavenly Sword Sect]

[You saw your clan broken, you saw your brothers and sisters killed, you saw your grown sister surrounded by demons.]

[Without hesitation, you swing your wooden sword and use the techniques you once used to cut down the villains who try to harm your treasures; you are discovered, and you engage in a fierce battle with the demonic monks]

The muscles were wailing.

Bones are breaking.

The blood is spewing.

On the battlefield of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Xu System’s entire body was dyed red with blood, with the appearance that he should have died long ago, but he was still marching on, numbly waving the wooden sword in his hand.

The YuanYing mana that didn’t belong to him condensed rainbow pi.

Stopped and killed a late stage Jindan.

But at the same time, the counterattack from the demonic cultivator caused one of Xu System’s paws to be sliced off in an unknown direction.

“He’s System Xu, the first true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, quick, let’s all kill him together!”

Some devil cultivators shouted in fear, recognizing the identity of Xu System.

The battle record of killing a late Jindan stage in one move was too astonishing.

So much so that the demonic cultivators’ hearts jumped in fear, and due to the pressure in their hearts, they combined their efforts to attack the Xu system.

“Brother!!!”

Xu Moli shouted out her long-lost name, her expression more panicked than ever as she wanted to break the big formation and go out to fight with the Xu lineage.

But she was just too weak.

The attack simply couldn’t break through the formation.

One could only watch, with eyes wide open in despair, as that bloodstained figure fell and rose again and again.

“Please, no. ……”

Another move of sword light across the sky.

Four Jindan demonic cultivators perished, and the Xu system also paid the price of having both legs broken.

He could no longer stand, but crawled on the ground with his hands, advancing in an incredibly slow and comical manner.

Both legs bled profusely from the broken wounds.

The dirt along the path was soaked with blood, creating long trailing blood trails.

The Devil Dao cultivators were chilled to the bone, momentarily unable to tell who was the true Devil Dao, but they still forced themselves to endure their fear as they continued to launch a siege at the Xu system.

This time, the Xu system was at the expense of having his entire body burnt to a crisp and completely losing his left arm.

Kill all the remaining Jindan demonic cultivators.

“Don’t, don’t do this …… why, obviously I’m just a liability ……”

The young girl’s eyes were lifeless as she sat on her knees.

She was a crying mess.

Tears fell down his cheeks, one by one, on his body, on his thighs, and it was a look of utter despair and utter disintegration.

“Please, don’t …… don’t come any closer …… please ……”

“Wooooo…!!!”

Snot and tears.

Shivering with fear.

Looking at the figure in front of him who was burned to a crisp, with only the upper half of his body left struggling to move forward, crawling on one arm, the despair in his heart then almost buried the mind.

Unable to breathe, unable to think, every tiny movement tinged with great sadness.

One can only cringe and wait for tragedy to strike.

Ka-chow–

Finally, the “monster” that had been burned beyond human form, with its only remaining right arm leaning on the wooden sword, crawled with difficulty to the front of the big formation that trapped Xu Moli.

With the last of his strength, with the last of his mana.

A sword stabbed through the entire formation.

Xu System’s dry, cracked lips opened slightly as if he wanted to say something, but his vocal cords had long since burned out and he couldn’t make any sound.

But Xu Moli read what Department Xu really wanted to say.

“Brother has come to your rescue, Mo Li.”

“Brother didn’t lie to you.”

Boom–

Almost at the instant the formation shattered, System Xu closed his eyes slightly, only to feel exhaustion surging through him in an instant, no longer able to do anything but fall asleep.

In the gaze of the young girl’s despairing collapse, Xu System’s burnt and charred body dissipated into the wind.

Didn’t give her the slightest chance to salvage it.

Mouth wide open.

Wanted to cry but couldn’t.

All that could be done was to let out a dry howl of despair, hating his own incompetence over and over again.

You’re dead.
