Chapter 1653 “Bai Xiao (7)”
Looking at the direction of the girl’s departing back, the teenager didn’t know what else to do aside from silently clenching the gift in his hands. Then a thought hit him, bringing purpose to his own life and why he should live.
I will definitely repay you for your kindness. Wait for me. Once I get strong enough, I will find you and swear my loyalty to you….
Unfortunately, that vow would never come of fruition for the girl herself had already perished from this world once he’s grown strong enough to safely move on his own. Meeting yet also a farewell, tragedy of fate itself.
………Some time into the future, the snow remains a forever blanket in this northernmost reach of the Celestial Realm. There are no more ferocious looking to make him their dinner, no more kindhearted girl to give him a helping hand, only himself standing there and peering into the far-off horizon.
“I listened to you, I watered the lotus with my blood every morning and gained incredible strength compared to what I had. But now, you are gone and I still standing here. Why didn’t you wait for me? By the time I came out to search for your whereabout, all I got is your terrible fate.”
Gripping his fist like he wants to challenge the world itself, “I refuse to believe their lies, there’s no way you are an evil scourge to the Celestial Realm! Those hypocrites, all they ever know is to look out for their own interest and ignore those like me who needs help in the dark corners of this world! I will make them pay for this. A blood debt must be paid with blood. They took your life, and now I will take theirs as payment…”
That said, tears began to flow down the young man’s cheek: “Maybe I will be able to meet you again in the afterlife….”
……..
Outside the Celestial Palace some days later.
“Who goes there?!” An old man who’s clearly in charge of watching over the entrance gate yells at the coming young man.“I’m here to avenge her.” Sneering in the face, the young man proudly proclaims as he continued to move forward.
Even if he’s no match for the Keepers of this place, he won’t back down. Death doesn’t scare him!
“I don’t care who you are, but coming to the Celestial Palace and causing chaos is punishable by death!” At the old man’s word, the soldiers and defenders all began to brandish their weapons and quickly surrounded the intruder.
With a few jabs of the spear and slashes of the sword, holes riddled the person and left him critically injured. If left unattended, he’s sure to die from these wounds.
“With only that measly strength and you still dare to come cause trouble?” The old man contemptuously stares down at the guy, his voice sarcastic and mocking since he believes the upper hand lies with him.
“I know I’m weak, but she saved my life. Even if she doesn’t know who I am nor know my name…. I still owe her for all I have right now! HAHAHA!” Growing hysterical in his laugh, the young man flexes his muscles and sent the blades and spears jabbed into his body flying outward. At the same time, his body also began to swell bigger and bigger as smoke exuded out of his pores.
“Self-destruct?” A look of horrified fear instantly yanked the old man back to reality and sent him into alarm.
He’s not here to fight, but to die? He wants to take us with him?!
Wiping the corner of his mouth to remove the blood, the teen bellows out a powerful laugh since he’s got what he wanted: “Today, even if I die here, I will drag some of you to hell with me! Whatever I owe her, I will repay it in the next life!”
Boom!
At that signal, a immense and catastrophic explosion rocked the area, mists of blood scattered across the horizon and created a mushroom cloud in its wake. For this blast, most of the weaker defenders were instantly crushed at the scene with the only surviving being that old man in charge with a arm blown off.
