Chapter 568: Those at the Peak Bleeds. (2/2)
[We lost him once because of the fighting we have done… all the blood that we shed… we are not allowing him to leave us again.] Garm didn't want to lose him, thus his care, and Philas was aware of his desires, thus, his inaction.
”I understand, but do not worry, Ling'er does not mind such character. He would hate it more if you fight anyone for no reason.” Wang Shu Qing explained. He was not entirely sure, but from what he read about Wang Ling's actions, this should prove true.
And as Wang Shu Qing saw Garm's eyes waver from his desire to fight, any intent to take it back disappeared.
”Really?” Garm asked.
Wang Shu Qing nodded, ”Ye—”
”Hey…” A voice from the downed Mu Wei echoed in the room, quickly, his body recovered, his strength returned and the flood flowing out disappeared. She stood back up and started walking towards Garm and Wang Shu Qing, ”Stop saying unnecessary shit, Ancestor Shu Qing. Don't get in his, let him be. Let him attack me… I want to feel if he's really so strong as the legends say.”
”Leader Mu Wei, stop antagonizing the GodKing.” Chang Ping stood in front of Mu Wei to stop her from doing any more stupid shits, ”Fighting him is meaningless.”
”Get out my way, Sword God.” She shoved Chang Ping out of her way.
She wanted to face Garm, she wanted to fight.
But Wang Shu Qing stood before her to stop her.
”Mu Wei, that is enough.”
With her head lowered, Mu Wei held Wang Shu Qing's arm, ”Get out of my way, Ancestor Shu Qing. Don't get in the way of a fight. You, the Ancestor of the Wang Family should know that much, right?” she said with a light chuckle.
”Stop it, Mu Wei… don't pick unnecessary fights.”
”…get out of my way… Ancestor Shu Qing… this is my last warning.” She began applying force on his shoulder as her hands began to tremble, ”…get out of my way before I make you.”
”You don't want to do that…”
”But I do.”
”Then…” Wang Shu Qing drew a breath, ”Try doing it…”
Mu Wei's energy surged, the scent of flowers was released and her Domain engulfed the tenth floor turning the entire place into a forest.
The once wooden floor became a grassy plain filled with flowing blue light.
On her hand appeared a blue light, and around them glowed with the same luminance.
”I really will do it! Get out of my way, Ancestor Shu Qing!”
”As I said, try doing it.”
”…Aaaah… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!” She roared as she sent a palm strike on the chest.
A power-filled to the brim with the touch of Nature, one empowered by the light of the Sacred Life, and Wang Shu Qing responded with nothing.
His hands remained lowered even when the others' intents all spiked and when the palm appeared an inch away from his chest, everything disappeared.
Mu Wei fell to her knees her body, trembling, ”Why… why wouldn't you allow me to fight? Why not fight me?”
Wang Shu Qing got on one knee and placed his hands on Mu Wei's head, ”I will not fight you, Mu Wei, because it is not what you want.”
”IT IS!”
”No, you do not want to fight anyone… what you want is an execution… you want to die… and follow them, don't you?”
Mu Wei slowly raised her head, tears streaming down her face as she held onto Wang Shu Qing's shoulders, ”If you know that, then kill me! My husband, my son, my daughter, my disciple, everyone I cared about died and I lived! Please… just kill me.”
Wang Shu Qing said nothing as he comforted Mu Wei with his touch alone and Mu Wei wailed… even the strongest can be hurt, and seeing one of theirs cry without shame others couldn't even stop to hold back their tears.
Holding onto their eyes, as they shed them to the ones they have lost.
