30 The Present (3)

Ning Rou Li bawled like a child as she remembered the day she and Ning Hai Heng sneaked into the Tenebrous Billow Academy. They were caught by a teacher and were lectured by Ning Su Cai who was in the middle of an exam. Even though Ning Su Cai didn't report it to Ning Rui Yu, her father knew already. When they got home, Ning Rui Yu chastised them until she cried. Seeing his precious daughter weeping so pitifully, he pulled Ning Hai Heng out of the manor with him to buy sweets for Ning Rou Li. The more Ning Rou Li reminisced about the happy events she'd spent with her family, the more she felt her heart was bleeding in pain and grief.

Ning Hai Heng steadied his breathing as he looked at his sister then turned to his dead parents and brother.

'So this is what it feels like to witness your family being killed.' It was an indescribable feeling.

He raised his head to look at Zhu Xiao Wan who was fighting his family's killers. Were the feelings he and his sister were feeling the same feeling that she and her brother had felt when the Zhu Family were annihilated?

Swinging her Lianzhou, several Green Spirits of the Third Stage or below died an inhumane death. All that remained were gruesome corpses that conjured feelings of revolution. Any weak minded individuals would surly vomit at such a horrific sight. There were one Fourth Stage Green Spirit, two Fifth Stage Green Spirits, and that one Cyan Spirit left.

"What kind of monster is she!?"

"That strange scythe, too! How did a feeble-looking girl like her obtained such thing!?"

The First Stage Cyan Spirit's face was really ugly, he peered intensely at Zhu Xiao Wan. He looked like he wanted to eat her alive without even sparing a single bone.

"Keep attacking, she won't be able to hold on much longer." He had noticed the invisible barrier around her was starting to break. As waves of black outlined the barrier, one could see that there were cracks on it.

Whilst they kept on bombarding their power at her, she was still able to stop it all. However, her legs were aching in discomfort, that discomfort then slowly turned painful. It felt like her legs' muscles were being chopped into pieces; the bones in her legs fell apart as it broke into crumbs and Zhu Xiao Wan endured the intense agony of her bones being ground into powder.

Zhu Xiao Wan panted; the sweet iron-taste fluid in her mouth was forcefully swallowed, some still managed to flow out and slid down her chin. She tightened her grip and clove the Fourth Stage Green Spirit; his viscera spilled out.

Three left...

Bloody tears rolled down her tender cheeks and dropped to the ground. Her eyes felt like they were going to explode. But no matter how much agony she was suffering, she was like a block of wood - expressionless. Her vision was hazy, her consciousness also started to dim. Her eyebrows knitted, 'Not yet.'

Zhu Xiao Wan swayed and from the air, she dropped down to the ground. Instead of feeling crushed to the ground, someone caught her. Using the last shred of energy to lift her eyelids laboriously. After she found out whose arms she was in, Zhu Xiao Wan sighed silently.

Gently and carefully placed Zhu Xiao Wan onto the ground, he stood up. There was a wicked smile on his flawlessly handsome countenance as he scrutinized the three people she had yet to mercilessly kill.

"Leave this to me."
