6 Backstory revealed part 2

"NNOOO…BAAAIIIEERR" I shouted as I held bai'ers body, I stood up while trying to block most of the Spirit saints attack and carrying Bai'ers unconscious body. I was unable to protect myself, because I was more worried about Bai'ers condition and making sure that none of the attacks got through to her. I sent an attack that managed to blind the enemy, I took that chance to escape while trying to find someone to help Bai'er. I had to hurry because the enemy was right on my tail and was gaining on me, I then found my mother who was protected by the family guards. I landed next to them and placed Bai'er next to her, she then looked at me to ask what happened. However, I couldn't answer as I blocked the spirit saint's sword attack and then continued to parry his attacks.

He then tried to swipe his sword under me, however I back flipped in time to avoid that attack and managed to kick him in the face at the same time. As I landed on my feet I tried to thrust my sword into his stomach, but he managed to block it in time and tried to put some space between us. I knew that I couldn't keep going, since I was losing too much blood, so I had to finish this in one shot by using my strongest move. I figured that my opponent also decided to finish this in one move as he held his hands on his sword. We both took our stances and waited for the right moment to attack, I knew that if I messed up I would die. So I waited and it seemed that everything became so slow, the battle field noise around us was blocked out.

Seconds became hours and I decided to do this now, I ran to my opponent as he ran towards me I then shouted saying, "Heavenly Slash". Everything was settled at that moment as our backs were faced towards each other, I suddenly felt pain on my left shoulder to see blood spurting onto the ground. While my opponents head rolled on the ground, I knew that if I had moved slightly to the left it would have been my head rolling instead.

I had collapsed on the ground to see my mother and the family doctor coming towards me and trying to patch up the wound on shoulder. I then took my mother's hand and asked her, "How is Bai'er" with a tone full of worry and hope. She then looked at me and said, "Bai'er will be fine, however some of the effects from the poison is still inside her immune system" while looking unsure herself. I cursed myself for not being stronger in order to protect myself and those I love, if only I was stronger none of this would have happened. I then looked to where my father and grandfather were, and saw that they were still fighting against the spirit halls titled douluo's.

Ling Tian Pov:

I fought against the person who I used to call my old friend, spirit hall's acting ruling elder Shen ren, and I felt that seeing how he turned out by joining Spirit hall I was disappointed in him. Back then he was a different man, but when spirit hall recruited him he had changed into a cruel and cold person. I saw that the man who stood before me was no longer the same person that I knew, he was no longer my friend. However he was now Spirit halls killing machine that wouldn't hesitate to take an innocent life on their orders. I then tried talking to him while blocking most of his attacks, "Why do you attack us Shen ren, is your ruling elder no longer afraid of our patriarch retaliating against you."

"Hahaha what Patriarch, old ling we received orders from the ruling elder that your patriarch is dead" He said while a look of terror appeared on my face. "Wh…WHAT DO YOU MEAN DEAD" I shouted while I was waiting for an explanation, "HAHAHA you don't know, apparently he passed away while trying to break through to rank 99". I couldn't believe it our last line of defense had died, my own father had passed away, now no one can protect us from spirit hall. Apparently the clan members heard our conversation and some had started to doubt if they were going to live through this.

Shen ren asked me again, "Old ling I will ask you again join us and your people will be spared" He said with a straight forward face. I looked at my dying clan members and thought that I could perhaps save them, however I would be making them lose their freedom if I do this. "Father don't do it although we probably won't make it, it's better than having to lose our freedom and becoming their slaves" My son said as he looked at me with complicated eyes, I wanted to listen to him but when I looked at my clan members they seemed to agree with what he said. Well then as the now patriarch of the ling clan, how can I possibly be left behind by them. So I looked at Shen ren and said what was on my mind, "Shen ren even if we all die today, you and the spirit hall can shove your ego and proposition up your asses" then I released all of my rings preparing myself to fight to the death.

Ling ren Pov:

After my grandfather had made his insult, all of our remaining clan member's morale was instantly boosted and so was mine. Then I looked at the opponents and charged at them, it seemed that the change in our confidence had taken them by surprise. The tide of the battle was starting to turn in our favor, now if we could keep going then we might be able to force the spirit hall to retreat. Now that is only possible if there is no reinforcement that the spirit hall would send.

However our nightmares came true, when a bright light suddenly landed on to the ground. After the bright light died down and the smoke settled, a strong voice that emanated pressure spread across the battle field saying, "All of you lay down your weapons or prepare to be exterminated". It was him the strongest titled douluo who the spirit hall worshipped, the Ruling elder of Spirit hall. He looked across the battle field and continued talking, "None of you should die today, join us and you will bask in the glory of spirit hall." He then continued saying, "If you join us I will personally grant you one wish within my powers". I then stepped up and asked him my question, "So you say you can grant us only one thing within your powers" I said with a questioning look. He then looked at me and said, "Yes I can, what is your wish child" while looking like a righteous and helpful saint. I then asked him, "Okay can you kill every one of the people from Spirit hall that attacked us today, including those titled douluo's who attacked my father and my people."

His face then turned dark and he asked, "Child are you not afraid to die today" I only answered saying, "Fuck you, you stuck up old man". He laughed saying, "Hahaha, such talent it's unfortunate that you will die today because of your sharp tongue." He then rushed at me with the intent to kill, my mother, father, and grandfather all shouted at the same time, "REN'ER WATCH OUT". I could only close my eyes waiting for the attack that was coming my way, however it had not yet arrived. I opened my eyes only to see a white robed person, I wondered who this person was and how he was able to block the ruling elder's attack. I then looked at his face and immediately recognized him it was my great grandfather Ling Wei. Then I heard the ruling elder saying, "Patriarch ling, so you haven't passed away yet" he said with a mocking tone in his voice. My Great granfather only replied saying, "How can these old bones of mine rest with all the noise that you are making, so I will just get rid of the source and then I will rest.

My great-grandfather pushed the ruling elder off and threw his sword at him, the ruling easily countered it and started to float upwards. My great-grandfather followed him and took his attacks head on while also countering everything that the ruling elder sent at him. However I could tell that my Great grandfather was only defending and wasn't able to send out his own attacks. I then knew that my great grand-father was only holding him off but not for long, all of a sudden my father appeared next to me. He held me by my hand and brought me next to my mother and Bai'er, who was now awake and looking rather confused. I wanted to ask my father what was going on, but all he did was pass me a pouch and told me that everything I needed was in there.

He then looked at me and said, "Ren'er the ling clan no longer exists, from now on you will be named Ao Ren." I wanted to ask him why he would want me to do that but then my mother came up to me and hugged me saying, "goodbye my child". I then knew that they wanted me and Xiao bai to escape leaving them to fend for themselves, I wanted to argue but my father slapped me before I could. "Ren'er if you die then the ling clan dies with you", I replied saying, "Come with us" he only looked at me and said, "Goodbye son". He then crushed the teleportation talisman in his hands, sending both me and Xiao bai away from the Ling clan family territory. I stood there while trying to comfort the crying Bai'er while also trying to hold back my tears, after she was done crying we kept moving hoping that spirit hall did not follow us.

After walking for 3 hours we setup camp at that time I decided to open the pouch only to see two face masks, a recipe, a pill bottle, and a folded note. I unfolded the note and read what was written on it saying, "Ren'er if you are reading this do not blame yourself for what happened, you must only live to get stronger and avenge us all." I finally cried my heart out and continued reading it told me the pills were for Bai'er and the recipe was so that I could make more. The mask however, was to hide our faces and change it into whatever we wanted to look like, after reading the I decided to get stronger only to kill all of spirit hall. I then wore one of the mask and gave the other to bai'er who looked completely different from before however her green eyes remained the same.

We traveled for the 3 years and finally decided to rest in a town called Quinessence, at that time both me and Bai'er decided to settle down. After 5 years of living here we had never once seen any of spirit halls men visiting this town, but I still trained and managed to reach rank 80. However one day bai'er suddenly ran up to me and said she was pregnant, I was so happy when I heard that I was going to be a father. Then 3 months later I tried to think of a name I suddenly said "Ao si ca" out loud, which I got a response from Bai'er saying that the baby kicked. From then on my unborn child would be named Ao si ca, then 4 months later Bai'er came up to me and told me some shocking news. It turns out that not only had she reached rank 59 but all the poison in her immune system was now gone, I was so happy perhaps fate decided to take mercy on us(A.N: Not really but keep thinking that).

I then waited for the next 2 months for my child to be born, however I got so nervous when the time came the village doctor came in and helped bai'er give birth. I then heard a screaming voice coming from the other side of the room and when I went to check I saw my wife holding my newborn child. I only hoped that no worldly events or anything too serious would be caused by this child of mine. (A.N: You are in for a surprise my friend I only hope you can stand the shock)
