Chapter 84: Glittering, Gemstone (2/2)

”Uuu.........”

Seeing the slash mark on her back turning red, my mind became blank.

Why would it turn red........?

I who wasn't able to lie at all couldn't even lie to myself. Even though I'm unwilling to face the truth, I still became aware of it........

It's blood........

Fresh blood leaked out from Bai Yu Hui's back, seeping into the asphalt road.

My face was splattered full of Yu Hui's blood, dripping into my eyes, feeling a sensation of prickling pain yet didn't close them up.

”Hm? A sacrifice on blocking the blade? Such a relationship isn't bad at all.........but, next up will be you, brat!”

The voice that was the origin of evil resounded right ahead, his eye expression full of fury, with the status on his head becoming dyed red.

I gritted my teeth, while having my lips trembling, as I tightly hugged onto her, using my hands to clutch her wounds with my head lowered.

I heard Xue Qing calling out my name, but it felt like it was at such a far distance away.

Xue Qing who afterwards rushed before my front swung her blade, forcing the man to stay far away from me thereafter, turned around to glance at me and Yu Hui who's within my embrace.

Blades crossed each other; it felt like those stuff were happening in another world, indistinct and distant.

From my unnaturally gaping mouth leaked out a sound. That's a sound, emanated from the depths of my chest and utilized on my throat, that I gave with uncontrollably bursting emotions, yet I wasn't sure if it's a crying sob or a furious roar.

”Aaaaa.........eraaaaaaaa!”

My fault.........it's all my fault!

If I'm only able to be slightly more careful.........if I had only reacted to it in the nick of time........!

Damn it........!

Damn ittt!!!

The strength within my hands subconsciously slowly increased. I tightly hugged Yu Hui who's within my embrace, with my eyes feeling that it's about to leak tears out. I hastily shut my eyes up, intending to hold it in and not cry, but squeezed out the tears that had completely filled up my eyes instead.

”.........Even if a man have tears, they shouldn't be batting easily.........tears don't suit you, Jun Cheng-dàren........”

A feeble voice rang into my ears. Hands that had turned icy cold caressed my face, and wiped away the tears that I just leaked.

I hastily wrenched open my eyes, carrying a gaze of surprised delight looking at that person in my arms.

”Yu Hui?!”

”Please don't shout loudly.........I'm a little giddy.........”

”Ah, sorry, sorry! It's such a relief that you're still awake!”

She still hadn't lost her consciousness, huh?! As a girl, wasn't she too tenacious already!

No wait, this wasn't the time to be rebutting!

It's such a relief!

It's really such a relief!

”Mm.........if this goes on, I'll fall into unconsciousness from loss of blood.........can you help to bandage up my wounds?”

She excruciatingly spat out that sentence with half her eyes prised open.

”Hold on! I'll immediately bandage you up!”

I stripped off her clothes and bra in nearly a state of aggressiveness, hastily using the short knife to tear her clothes up into two pieces afterwards, and used one of them to wrap up the wound through the sides of her shoulders to her back. After completing it, I once more pulled it towards the front of her chest and tied a knot.

”Hold on! Yu Hui! You'll be able to go out immediately! Please don't let anything happen to you!”

”.........Uuu, you don't need to blame yourself too much.........this is what I........should be doing........”

She had already turned into that state, yet she was still worried about my feelings, huh.........!

She as well, you as well.........all of you are idiots!

She feebly gave off a smile, and powerlessly held my hands and spoke.

”Please don't worry about it.........I'm already using true qi to stop the bleeding.........it'll be fine in the short term.........cough.........”

”Don't speak anymore! Aren't you already spitting out blood! Still acting tough!”

I used a hand to support Yu Hui up, hugging onto her waist, and carefully shifted her to the sides of the street.

”This kind of sensation where my consciousness is slowly drifting away.........it's been a long time.........”

”Ha? What stupidity are you saying! Don't sleep! You must stay awake!”

What's good to be reminiscent about being wounded!

”Of course; it's not easy.........to finally be able to not sleep anymore, I still want to stay by your side even longer.........”

”I remember, that lifetime.........I died in your arms just like that.........thinking back to it right now.........that's also a kind of unprecedented happiness too.........

”Don't spout foolish words anymore, you won't die!”

”.........I don't want to die too........but, I'm so sleepy.........”

”Don't sleep!”

However, no matter how much I cried out, Bai Yu Hui still closed up her eyes.

No, even if it's like that, the bleeding still wasn't able to be stopped at all.........! The wound was too deep already!

If I only had an emergency first aid kit; it's fine even if it's just bandages too, were there anything around that would be able to treat her.........

Treat.........got it!

Oh right, what's the situation currently like?

I hastily lifted up my head to locate Xue Qing and Ye Liu Su. The both of them were heavily wounded, with both parties wobbling about. What's contested in the end wasn't technique, and neither strength, but willpower.

I must create an opportunity for Xue Qing!

I too didn't know what came up over me, perhaps due to instinct, or perhaps due to the natural reflexes of my body, as in any case, I pulled out that magatama without any consideration placed into it at all, swung it by its string and hurled it over while loudly yelling.

”Xue Qing! Close your eyes!”

The magatama turned green to red in mid-air, with burning flames once again igniting. Having his eyes dazzled by the sudden ignited blaze, Ye Liu Su covered up his eyes in counterpoise.

”Eh.........what's this..........!”

When Xue Qing saw this blaze previously, she too immediately distanced away from me, with an appearance of being unwilling to get close to me, so it should also by right be effective towards Ye Liu Su!

The magatama which fell onto the ground gave off a loud crisp sound, with the blazing flame too becoming extinguished.

Ye Liu Su was still clutching his eyes while waving his blade about wildly.

It's of course impossible for Xue Qing to pass up this opportunity, as she sliced the other party's weapon along with his wrist off!

Although he's unable to see anything, he still instinctively swiftly retreated backwards after losing his wrist.

Xue Qing immediately stepped forward, leaping out speedily, gripping her blade firmly with both hands and plunged it right into Ye Liu Su's stomach!

But it still wasn't yet enough, as she instantly spun her body and shifted the blade!

The blade drew out a blood colored semi circle in mid-air!

*Pa ta pa ta*, organs from within the sliced open abdomen fell out onto the ground faster than his body, with Ye Liu Su's expression completely becoming dumbfounded.........then, he crumpled.

The status disappeared, he's finally thoroughly dead!
