The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 341 - Different Places and Times
Now that Yung Qi did not wake up again like the previous one, only tears kept falling from his eyes, mixed with blood and sand.
"Kill me," Xin Chen said in the end even though he knew Yung Qi who now would be unable to do so. Sure enough Yung Qi just laughed in pain, his right hand moved slowly grasping the ground. Just a glance Xin Chen could see the painful sorrow from the male gaze. He lost something he truly loved more than his own life.
Yung Qi could do nothing after the death of his fiancee. He was not allowed to cross the border without permission or a position that allowed him to leave the Qing Empire. Only soldiers who served like the elite nobility were allowed to cross the border. They have to pay a high price in order to pass through the very tightly protected road along with a complete permit.
Yung Qi barely found any residents of the Shang Empire after the death of his future wife and could only hold that grudge in his heart. He followed every warrior selection every year, in those years it was certainly different to this year where anyone who failed had to die. They were able to return home safely. As long as they do not commit crimes or criminal acts.
And this year Yung Qi was sure he found one of the many people he had been looking for for three years. The one who has the same blood as the murderer of his fiancee. No matter whether it had any link or not, Yung Qi was too desperate and only put forward his anger hoping that his wife would calm down after his revenge.
Yung Qi tried to change his position so that he could look on his back at the beautiful atmosphere of the night. The ubiquitous lighting and the previously festively opened event are now bloody parades. "Is everything I do today going to make her happy?" Yung Qi forced his voice to come out even though he was actually just talking to himself.
"No?" Yung Qi answered his own question and felt stupid. He smiled bitterly, vaguely feeling like death was indeed coming to pick him up in a moment. This kind of death was not the death he wanted. Yung Qi was really sorry that he could only cry recalling his fiancee's face.
Just by hearing Yung Qi already knew at this moment Xin Chen was walking towards his place. He already knew what Xin Chen wanted to do and was just waiting for the young man to take his life. At that moment Yung Qi felt like he really did not give up his death. From the start he knew he would win against his enemy, but he did not expect to meet someone like Xin Chen. He was strong, Yung Qi indeed could not win with his strength. But even if he was the greatest person in the Empire, he wasn't sure he could kill Xin Chen. Because he felt that person was not an enemy that he should kill.
"Do ... You don't have much time." Yung Qi resignedly, his eyes blankly staring into the night sky with a thin white cloud that moved following the wind currents. He took a deep breath that only hurt his internal organs that had been severely damaged.
"You want your fiancee to calm down, don't you?"
"just free. I can't kill you." Yung Qi's eyeballs began to pale, his lips clenching a few times in order to take in oxygen. The pain came again and maybe this time it was the last and most painful. He would lose his life any minute while that time went on. The selection will soon be over. Actually Xin Chen was still able to win because he had killed many. It's just that if it doesn't kill now then the soldier behind it will kill Yung Qi.
"Why? You can't kill me either?" Yung Qi's lungs leaked out, blood from his mouth coming out as he coughed. His breathing began to weaken, Yung Qi gulped with great difficulty.
"I'd rather die in your hands now. At least I've fought once in a lifetime. Even if you think it's useless ... I want everyone to know that my fiance is so valuable ..."
He was speechless when he felt Xin Chen's hand raise his hand and put the sword in his palm.
The man's mouth trembled, his rancid face that a few days ago was extremely annoying to change. Yung Qi grasped the sword with the rest of his consciousness. Xin Chen placed his left hand on the ground and helped Yung Qi aim the sword eyes. The sword in his hands both pierced Xin Chen's hand.
Silence happens. The face of disbelief and emotion is depicted on the faces of all the guests who witnessed the incident. Xin Chen and Yung Qi ended their fight in different ways. Their attention was more on Xin Chen that night. One applause rang out on the guest bench, Yan Xue the main warrior stood up while cheering his name. Then followed by others until in an instant the atmosphere became back noisy.
Xin Chen pulled out the sword in his hand. Facing Yung Qi who was starting to be able to smile looked at the night sky. His heart feels more spacious. In that instant Yung Qi felt happy to die, all the burden that befell his shoulders disappeared.
"I can see him smiling ..."
No one saw Xin Chen smiling faintly. He turned to the left where Youji and Yu Xiong who had been protecting Wei Feng had been watching him. Xin Chen approached and brought Wei Feng near Yung Qi.
"My friend, Wei Feng. Her mother also experienced the same thing as your fiancee."
"I have absolutely no objection .." Yung Qi's words began to falter as blood flooded his throat. "If giving up my life to save his life is good ... Do it."
Xin Chen nodded, he helped Wei Feng hand hold the sword that led to Yung Qi's chest.
Before the sword actually killed him, Yung Qi had said something with a smile.
"If we meet at different places and times ... do you want to be my friend?"
"Of course."
Yung Qi died with a smile still visible on his face. The man looked like a man who was peacefully asleep. After all that Wei Feng had just regained his senses, looking at the surroundings that were starting to fill up a commotion from the mouth of the red group team. They began to question Xin Chen's actions which saved the life of one of the blue group members. The protest became a long debate, many were worried that if Xin Chen saved one life from the blue group then the fight would be canceled and they would have a rematch.
Amidst the increasingly heated situation Xin Chen opened his voice, making the others speechless.
