268 Bloodstained Soulshake Bell, The Most Vexing Death
The three of them got onto the back of Fire Bird with the help of Canghai and his wife!
Canghai Mingyue originally thought that her mother would be with her, and by the time she came to the realization she wouldn’t be, it was already too late!
“Go! Qing Shui, take good care of YueYue, you will be her only family from now on…”
Canghai Mingyue’s mother shouted; that was both the voice of despair and hope. She abruptly turned around and walked towards the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sword Sect, who was already running towards her. Her movement was brisk, as if filled with the determination to die. She pressed forward with an indomitable will.
And all of this – the life of the Martial King, was only to hinder the opponent from advancing, so that her daughter could earn a space of a breath to escape.
Qing Shui shut his eyes. The Fire Bird spread its wings and soared into the sky!
“Mother………….”
Huoyun Liu-Li hugged Canghai Mingyue in tears; both of them were crying in an embrace. Qing Shui didn’t want to watch the scene of Canghai Mingyue’s mother being slaughtered.
A few moments later, there was a screech! Qing Shui looked at the giant beast that had started to soar in a distance!
The Black Champion Monarch Falcon!
Qing Shui bitterly looked at the soaring fowl which was increasing in size. It was carrying that blood soaked middle man in a purple robe on its back.
That fresh blood belonged to Canghai Mingyue’s mother’s!
“Qing Shui… how are you doing!”
Huoyun Liu-Li asked fretfully while looking at the blood soaked Qing Shui lying on the back of Fire Bird.
“I’m fine, look after Mingyue.” Qing Shui said softly. There was too much helplessness in his weak tone.
Canghai Mingyue raised her head and glanced at Qing Shui, it was only at this moment she saw Qing Shui’s current “pathetic state”. This was the second time for Canghai Mingyue to see Qing Shui bathed in blood, and the previous time was just from another day. It seemed to be more serious than the last time. There was at least some combat power left in him back then, but he couldn’t even stand up this time.
“Qing Shui, Qing Shui…” Canghai Mingyue was pretty much unharmed, she was just filled with excessive grief. To be seeing Qing Shui in this state filled her heart with sorrow, grief and sweetness…
“Mingyue, don’t be sad. Although senior is gone, they had no regrets in doing this for your sake and they have done it.” Qing Shui looked at the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sword Sect who was chasing after them from a distance. There were a few other flying animals, but only the Black Champion Monarch Falcon’s speed could exceed the Fire Bird’s.
“Qing Shui, I am so sad, I am so useless………” Canghai Mingyue was kneeling on the back of Fire Bird, facing the direction where her parents had departed.
“Mingyue, no one is free of troubles in life. Even a person who is seemingly happy has his own pain. Life is long and there are still a lot of things you will need to face in the future. Learn to be strong and work hard so that you will have no regrets in your life… cough cough.”
Qing Shui coughed up blood. But he didn’t care at this moment. It was already a great fortune to still be alive with these injuries.
“Qing Shui…”
“Qing Shui…”
Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li sat on each side of Qing Shui, flanking him and propped his body up.
“Qing Shui, they’re coming, what do we do?” Huoyun Liu-Li softly said while looking worriedly at the rapidly approaching Black Champion Monarch Falcon, which was just less than a thousand meters away.
Although Qing Shui was less than a normal human now, the two girls were still unconsciously relying on him at this kind of situation. Maybe this was the difference between women and men. Women were women after all, such was the nature of a woman. At least women would be like this at this kind of time, just like Canghai Mingyue – perhaps she had never thought of relying on a man before, of course with the exception of Canghai. Now she felt like Qing Shui was the only one she could rely on, it was as if she entrusted herself to him.
“I will resign to my fate!” Qing Shui chuckled.
Qing Shui words were not a bluff. They could only resign to their fate if their opponents caught up to them. However, his smile and the indifference in his tone brought a sense of peace to the two women.
Even a heart that was constantly set with worry would calm down eventually!
The Fire Bird was still flying at a fast speed, and was a thousand kilometers apart from the opponent. At this distance, they would be caught up yo in just the space of two breaths. Fortunately the speed of Fire Bird was not slow; the Red Luan of the Mutated Beast of Heaven and Earth was known to have great potential within itself.
On top of that, there was the 10% of increase in speed from the Bronze Necklace. Even so, the Black Champion Monarch Falcon was still catching up to it. By now, it was about less than 800 meters away.
“Qing Shui, are you afraid of death?” Canghai Mingyue softly said, gazing into the distance.
“Afraid, I am very afraid!” Qing Shui said without a trace of doubt.
Tears fell from Canghai Mingyue’s eyes upon hearing Qing Shui’s reply. “Then why did you push Huoyun Liu-Li and I away during that time? Didn’t you know that it will put you in danger?”
“Being afraid of death doesn’t mean one will not die,” Qing Shui grinned.
“Qing Shui, let me settle things this time!” Canghai Mingyue slowly stood up.
