Chapter 104: Completion
Kang Xuan shook his head helplessly as he looked at the young lady falling to the floor with a big hole in her head.
But her eyes were filled with a kind of unexplainable relief and unbearable sadness. It's as though she doesn't want it to end like this, but at the same time, she may have felt it was for the best.
Kang Xuan felt a pang of unexplainable pain wash over his heart. These were the kind of eyes that his daughter tried to cover up when she was on her deathbed. Even though she is doing well and is even going to live a longer life than any normal human being can.
He will never be able to forget that desperate, helpless fate that the so-called heavens chose for his daughter and their family.
But all the tables turned with the entrance of Ning Qi into their lives. What Ning Qi did that day was just disregard the fate chosen by the heavens for Kang Jia.
"So! That's how it is."
Kang Xuan muttered to himself, as though he understood the meaning of why they were cultivating. He felt that cultivating is akin to rebelling against the fate that the heavens had chosen for them in favor of a new fate that they could control.
He doesn't know how hard that is going to be, and he doesn't want to know as of now. But he decided to give his best to be there for the sect when it needed it and also to be helpful to those that were in need.
Doing missions and getting stronger is a good way to increase their strength, but helping those in need makes them stronger internally.
Just as the thoughts flashed into his mind, his eyes grew firmer. But the next thing he knew, he was screaming at Shen Yue to stop.
Shen Yue becomes a lot more emotional than Kang Xuan did. Her eyes were entirely filled with sadness as she looked at the young woman, who looked to be around the age of Ning Jing or a bit older at best.
Her heart churned with pain, and her eyes turned red. Just as she has reached the peak of her anger, she saw David pointing his gun at her, after killing the young woman.
The moment she made her move, the air made swooshing sounds, but the next moment she was already standing in front of David with her dagger in motion and was about to pierce his forehead, while her other hand firmly gripped David's right hand, which was just about to click on the trigger.
"No!!"
When the dagger was about seven or eight centimeters from his forehead, Kang Xuan, who had already shouted the words the moment he saw her plunging her dagger into the forehead, finally heard them in her ears.
The moment she heard those words from Kang Xuan, Shen Yue forcefully changed the direction of the dagger before plunging it into his right shoulder.
'Boom'
David fired the shot before dropping the gun at the moment she plunged her dagger into his shoulder, as an unusual amount of pain came over his shoulder with something sharp stuck there.
'Waaah'
He screamed with pain as he bent down to cluck on his shoulder. Shen Yue bent down a bit and took the pistol, she then aimed it at David's left hand, which he was using to support himself on the ground while wailing before firing.
'Boom'
Three of David's fingers were blown off his left hand, and he fell forward, unable to support himself with that hand, and began squealing like a pig.
Shen Yue again aimed the gun at his legs, but before she even shot the gun, Kang Xuan finally patted her shoulder, pulling her back from her madness.
"Senior Sister, that's enough! We need that guy to know what's happening here."
Kang Xuan sighed. Shen Yue shivered a bit, as though she felt it was very hard not to kill this guy.
"Nooo! Sister..."
Just as Shen Yue calmed down, the other two people in the room finally responded. The young man wailed as he looked at the dead body of his sister and moved towards her.
The other young woman also rushed toward her with eyes filled with tears for her dear friend. She also understood why her best friend went mad all of a sudden.
Kang Xuan and Shen Yue gave them space, as they didn't clearly understand what happened there yet.
Kang Xuan went forward and gave a knock on David's neck, finally making him faint.
"Junior brother! What do we do now?" Shen Yue finally fully calmed down and asked about the next course of action.
"First call Xia Lan and Gong Chou. Inform them that there are at least 30 captives here and that the remaining situation."
Kang Xuan said this as he used his spiritual qi to stop the bleeding on David and then on himself.
He doesn't want this guy to die early without revealing their purpose. He wanted to take him back for further investigation and let Ning Qi decide how to deal with this.
"Hello! Sister Lan, It's me..." Just as Shen Yue connected the call to talk with the Xia Lan duo and Kang Xuan sat down to take some rest and closed his eyes, they again heard a scream.
"No Zhan! ... Please stop it."
It is the voice of the other young woman in the room, who is screaming at the young man who pulled the dagger from David's shoulder and was about to plunge it into his skull from the top.
Kang Xuan flashed from his spot and held his hand just above David's head.
"Why?"
The young man looked at Kang Xuan as he lifted his head with deep red eyes. He doesn't understand why they need to keep scum like him alive. The past 3 days have been like torture to him, and now even his sister, not only a blood relative but also a best friend, is dead.
His entire mind is now filled with only the single thought of killing this guy in front of him. He was so helpless before and had to let his sister go through so much torture from these beasts.
But they didn't let her go even after torturing her like that, which finally broke his heart into pieces. He felt like his entire world was collapsing in front of him.
Just as Kang Xuan opened his mouth to say something, the young man dropped the dagger from his hand and caught it with his left hand before plunging again.
Kang Xuan was taken aback by this boy's quick witness. But, knowing Kang Xuan, he quickly held his other hand as well.
That young man again looked at Knag Xuan with fierceness filled in his eyes as though he is warning Kang Xuan to let him go or else he will not be spared too.
Kang Xuan shook his head, as he understood that this young man was fully consumed with hatred. He decided to give him a chop on his neck.
But before he could make his move, that young man raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick to David's head, stunning Kang Xuan once more.
Kang Xuan shook his head, thinking that this young man was consumed and dangerous. He shouldn't leave here, or else he would hurt those around him. He then swiftly gave him a chop on the back, making him faint.
"Hello, miss! Can you please explain what happened here?"
Kang Xuan then asked the young woman, who rushed to the young man as she held on to the fainted boy.
She is still crying as she looks at the woman's young body and also at the other two bodies in the room. But seeing the young man go insane only added to her grief.
She lifted her head and looked at Kang Xuan pitifully and then at the young man, as though asking whether he was alright or not. Even though she did not get who these people are and also understood that they are definitely not police.
She felt a bit of trust in them when she saw the sadness in their eyes when her best friend died.
"Don't worry about him! His mind completely succumbs to craziness at the moment, and it is very dangerous to let him stay awake. He will try to hurt whoever tries to stop him. So I just make him pass out for a while."
Kang Xuan patiently explained as he looked at the young woman, who was crying and showing an unknown trust in them. He felt so much better receiving such a feeling from a complete stranger that it helped to alleviate some of the pain he was experiencing.
Shen Yue also observed what was happening here, even though she was talking with Xia Lan. She is way more concerned about Kang Xuan, as she quickly needed to take him to the hospital.
After talking with Xia Lan, she rushed to them and looked at Kang Xuan as though, what do we do now?
Kang Xuan shook his head and then signaled to her with his hand, as though asking her to listen to the young woman.
"But-"
Shen Yue wanted to say that you need to be treated first. But Kang Xuan raised his hand to stop her. After all, he understands his situation better than she does. Even though he is in pain, he has already stopped the bleeding with spiritual Qi.
"Alright! Ten minutes at best. Xia Lan said that the police would be here by then."
Shen Yue said, to which Kang Xuan nodded his head, and then both of them looked at the young woman, who was still sobbing with the young man in her hands and the dead woman on the side.
