Chapter 536: That Generation’s Inheritance (2/2)
On a piece of shattered rock, Liu Sandao was bathed in blood. The corpses of demons in front of him piled up into a hill, but more demons rushed up to him without hesitation. Those demons were not of the royal family, but just some cannon fodder level demons. Weak in strength, but large in quant.i.ty.
When Liu Sandao's force was spent and his sword defense was broken, these beast-like demons rushed forward to bite him.
”Haha, demon b.a.s.t.a.r.ds want to eat this father, this father will let you eat happily!”
With that, he exploded his own golden core. The bursting sword qi swept across in all directions, and hundreds of thousands of demons were stirred into meat sauce. Liu Sandao himself, however, left nothing behind, even his bones.
After Liu Sandao's death, a small flying sword, carrying a gleaming ball of light, staggered toward somewhere.
—
In the deep underground cave, three disciples of Spirit Sword Sect were guarding the entrance of the cave with a three sword array. They were struggling to resist the siege of thousands of demons outside the cave.
Not long after, the three of them felt their magical power spent and could not hold on for much longer. The leader among them bit his teeth.
”w.a.n.g Chenye, Xie Mingxian, you guys go first!”
”... Understood.”
Then, the palms of the three men gently touched. The leader then spat out a ball of light in the center of his hand and then grinned.
”Remember to help me find a reliable person.”
”Rest a.s.sured, Senior Brother Song.”
After many sacrifices, the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect were no longer stranger to life and death situation. w.a.n.g Chenye and Xie Mingxian, without much hesitation, turned around and left. Then Senior Brother Song turned around and exploded the golden core in his Jade Mansion, which turned into thousands of flying swords, stirring up the winds and waves outside the cave.

Next to a crystal clear lake, Xie Mingxian supported w.a.n.g Chenye as they slowly walked. While they were walking, he borrowed the moonlight reflection on the surface of the water to treat his injuries. It was just that, it didn't take long for w.a.n.g Chenye to shake his head.
”... Junior Brother Xie, I don't think I can make it, don't waste any more energy to heal me.”
”No! You have saved me so many times, how can I just watch you die without doing anything?”
”Consider this as my atonement… If not for me and Zhang Sheng, how could there be such a thing later? You guys were implicated by us… Of course, I'm a bit better than that kid Zhang Sheng; he is too unreasonable! He broke the important matter just because of a woman. Forget it, Senior Brother always said that a dying person should speak good things, so I will say nice things. Mingxian, you have to live.”
With that, he stretched out his arm and laid his hand on Xie Mingxian's chest.
”Mingxian, there are some words that I actually wanted to say since a long time ago…”
”I'm listening.”
”All these years, I haven't had a girlfriend, there's actually a reason for it.”
”…”
”Haha, look how scared you are? Here, this is the remnant of Senior Brother Song. Oh, and mine too. Take them.”
With that, an unquestionable warmth poured into Xie Mingxian's Jade Mansion through his chest. He opened his mouth and let out a trembling voice, ”Who are you going to give it to?”
”Who else is left?” w.a.n.g Chenye's eyes turned dim. ”Everyone is almost dead… Oh, that's right, just give it to little Wu. Big Brother always favored her.”
”w.a.n.g Wu? But she…”
”Big Brother likes her so much, there must be a reason for it, so let's trust Big Brother.”
”... Okay.”
—
”... In the end, we are the only ones left?”
Ouyang Shang mirthlessly laughed.
”Zhang Sheng, Feng Yin, Liu Xian, Fang He, Zhou Ming, Lu Li, Guanhai, w.a.n.g Wu… There are only a few of you who are still alive.”
”But, that is enough.”
”Next, I have to do one thing, but before that, I want you guys to promise me one thing.”
