The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 187 - The Toughest Decision
"And now I offer you the way of peace, hand me the sword well."
"And you're gonna strike me back someday?"
Qin Yijun widened a paltry smile. "You scared? Oh, hahahah. It turns out that people like you know fear too."
Xin Fai responded in a stern tone, "It seems like you're thinking I'll just hand it over?"
That answer then made Qin Yijun silent for a while, he tilted his head with a face full of question marks. Trying to understand the meaning of Xin Fai's words earlier and feeling that nothing was misunderstood by her own.
"Hm? You certainly do not want Emperor Qin dead until this Empire will be destroyed oppressed by others. Like a corpse covered in maggots. If one day you will rebel then the other side will stab you mercilessly. That sword will only bring misfortune to you and this fool, he will invite war to his own land, sacrifice the lives of his people."
Qin Yijun pointed to Emperor Qin who was still one blood with him, looking at the expensive clothes the man was wearing and imagining himself in that position. Become a leader recognized by the Empire and respected by everyone.
The pseudo-wishness made his heart return, Qin Yijun told his subordinates to tighten the wire rope that bound him. Until the outermost part of the flesh had been successfully torn apart, blood kept dripping from there. And at this time without orders the woman put a dagger on the neck of Emperor Qin.
"Your choice is only two, give up and give me that weapon. Or rebel, then I will gladly kill him and the Dark Dragon will destroy this one Empire."
"Hahahah, you're pretty smart too!" Qin Yijun was blown away, everyone was waiting for Xin Fai's response.
The warriors behind him had already gathered, seeing Emperor Qin being captured made the atmosphere even worse.
"Hm? There's no answer. I count to three. Then I'll make sure it's the most beautiful decoration in my room."
"One ...." Qin Yijun started counting.
"Two ...."
"Three ...." Xin Fai never answered, Qin Yijun has not taken any action. The man was not someone he could play with childish threats.
Looking heavy on Xin Fai's face at that moment, her consideration this time was one of the heaviest things in her life. By continuing to carry the sword Xin Fai was convinced that even Ren Yuan's life, his children and the people of the Shang Empire would perish. Sooner or later. But taking it off is no different either.
"I'll give myself up."
"Well?" Qin Yijun sumringah, "At the end of the day you're completely helpless aren't you?"
"I'm powerless if it's all about the lives of others I'm responsible for."
Xin Fai walked over to Xin Chen who was still petrified, not believing her father's words just now. Eagerly wanting him to blame himself, they were indeed not inferior but the fact that circumstances so cornered his father was what made Xin Chen angry.
"It's impossible...." Xin Chen's words trembled, he understood his father so much. "Never do that, Dad."
The two fell silent for a moment, Xin Fai said in a low tone. "From now on, take care of your mother and your sister. Maybe I won't be by your side for long ...."
"Dad ..." Xin Zhan muttered as he shook his head. Obviously they won this war, but why did everything turn around. Not even Ren Yuan was able to say a word, either, he knew this was all Xin Fai's responsibility as the Pillar of the Empire and he had sworn to hold the man in case something like this happened at any time. He swallowed those words of protest in him and hoped that the Xin twins would be able to change Xin Fai's mind. Even if it never would have been possible.
Xin Fai returned to Qin Yijun's front, "I didn't immediately give you this sword. I'll take him with me, leave this Empire and never once have you set foot again in this place."
"Oh-ho! What is this, the Demon Sword at once surrendered itself?! It's really nice. I won't be able to turn it down if you've offered. Ahhaha!"
Ren Yuan repeatedly called out his name, Xin Fai could only act as if he had not heard. Know the great regrets that will be borne by him.
Lan An held back her steps as Xin Fai approached Qin Yijun, then threw a fist at the face with emotion. "What are you doing?!"
"This is my last decision."
"Never wish this would make your family happy!"
"Then?" Xin Fai released Lan An's hand on her shirt, her gaze was calm and it made Lan An wrath at her.
"It will be an endless war, I will never give up this sword. All my life, because that sword will remain in me."
Lan An did not understand what his old friend said, he just could not see Xin Fai being a loser who could only give up on a war. But it is true. There's nothing to do. The existence of the Demonic Human Sword and the Celestial Emperor Sword was only a disaster.
If even he managed to save the two; both the sword and the lives of Emperor Qin and Xin Xia, then one day there would be a war involving one Empire. And that was the thing that Xin Fai was most afraid of. The destruction of the Shang Empire and their lands were taken over by other Empires. Thus the name of the Shang Empire was lost to the world.
However, presumably Lan An had never thought of getting there, Xin Fai patted him on the shoulder in a shady look.
"When the day comes, please save me with that little hero. I'll wait for him, the war might happen again. Until then fight to defend this Empire. Be the First Pillar to replace me, Lan An."
"No, I won't accept it! You keep that! Xin Fai, don't just give yourself up"
"Then you have another way? You definitely don't want to see Xin Xia get hurt. Let alone me, even more so Emperor Qin is everything to this Empire."
At the end of his sentence Xin Fai smiled, "Everything will be fine."
Everyone watched in stunned gazes, at that moment the protective figure that had been guarding the Shang Empire, letting his body be shot an arrow so that his people would not suffer, went from their side. Lan An would shoulder that huge responsibility later on.
In that instant without their knowledge the sky was dripping with rain water, coming to grieve as Ren Yuan cried without a sound. He once listened, sometimes to save the happiness of others it takes a sacrifice that is not small. Now that he knew that it was happening to Xin Fai, the war had ended.
And for the last time their eyes met.
"Sorry and goodbye."
Xin Chen had just realized that everything that was happening before his eyes was reality. While Qin Yijun and the Dark Dragon were carrying his Father were about to make a move.
The female in black robes returned Xin Xia and Emperor Qin. The peace treaty was inscribed with the blood of Xin Fai and Qin Yijun, so that within a certain period of time they could not attack the Shang Empire in any form.
"Dad! DADDY!"
This sense of helplessness made Xin Chen fed up, in the end they would kneel under the enemy's feet. For good, for safety and for the avoidance of bleeding.
Xin Chen caught up with the dragon, however, a blade shot towards him and exploded in front of his face. Xin Chen did not care, he continued to try to chase and chase until something hit him and made him fall on the ground.
