47 Every Debt has a Debtor (1/2)

It was as if time had stopped. For a moment, Xin Fan saw red and he forced himself to close his eyes. Force himself to deny the reality happening before his eyes. Huh? Why is there no message of failure?

”Kak...well said...Xiao Xing...gkk...mother would be proud.”

Xin Fan looked as boy no younger than him, weaker in every way take the blow for his younger sister. Xin Fan could see the tip of the knife emerging right through the stomach. There was no doubt about it. This blow was fatal. Huo Ming took out his knife and allowed the kid in front of him to bleed to death. Xiao Xing ran forwards to catch her almost corpse of a brother. Tears welled up from her eyes as she hugged his slowly dying body.

”Nice...another one.”

”Xiao Feng!? What are you doing here?”

”Good too se..e...you...Sorry...I can't pay you back now...It's my fault you had...to experience...that.”

Xiao Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood as he save a small disappointed grin at Xin Fan.He really expected he could do more. But alas, he was unawakened and therefore couldn't do much. He gripped his blood soaked stomach trying to block the flow however it just kept seeping through his fingers. Seeing how it was hopeless, he turned to his sister and back to Xin Fan. He didn't have long left.

”Brother?!”

”hahaha....Do you mind doing me one more favor?...Take care of her can you?...make sure she stays safe...”

”No...No!”

Huo Ming walked forwards looking honestly quite disgusted.

”What's with this sappy sh*t. It's your fault you are weak.”

He lifted up his legs and kicked Xiao Feng to the side and walked over to do so once again like a ragdoll.

”See this...this is because you are weak...It is your fault that you are weak...Later I will enjoy cutting them up...There is nothing you can do about it.”

Xiao Feng's body felt cold. He felt the last bit of blood seep out of his body. With the last bit of energy in his body, he gave a mocking sneer at his murderer.

”W...with eve..ry debt...there is a ....debtor....”

”No!!!”

Uncle Xu...there was another way. Xiao Xing...be safe. Xiao Feng's body completely stopped moving. Xiao Xing screamed with a combination of distress and anger as she heard her last words. Xin Fan blocked her eyes from looking at the honesty quite brutal scene.

”And now you are dead.”

Huo Ming gave one last kick before turning around to finish what he started.

Xin Fan watched as the man turned to walk towards him. The last words of the boy was still resonating throughout his head. Xin Fan had mixed feelings about this. He didn't really know much about the other, or even like him for the matter. However he admired him. He admired him for his ideals. Every action he took was in the best interest of his sister. Even with no cultivation base, he still did something so she could live a second longer. Xin Fan was quiet for a moment as a inquiring voice sounded through his head.

'Do you wan't to do it?'

'Un...we have no choice.'

Xin Fan slowly climbed back to his feet. His whole body felt like burning. Not from just the cuts from earlier, but also from the branding he had the previous day. He could still feel the searing pain traveling from his back to almost consume him.

”You still want to fight?”

”Xiao Feng was right. Every debt has a debtor. In the name of my scythe, I will cut you down.”

In this moment, Xin Fan felt something that he has never truly felt before; Conviction. Conviction to protect those close to him. Conviction to get out. And of course, conviction to cut down the enemy before him.
