Chapter 2: A Contemptible Man (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lightly shuddering, Xia Ruoyun opened her eyes. All of her hatred was fixated on the man before her as she cried out, "Xiaming, you contemptible--!"

"Contemptible?" Xiaming laughed scornfully. "This? It’s just survival of the fittest! You see? It’s this precise ignorance of yours that had your mother murdered. That’s right; The one who killed her was you!"

The one who killed her was you.

"HAHAHAHA!" An abrupt outburst of manic laughter tore off from her throat. It pounded up the air, surrounding the hills with menacing echoes.

"Hey Xiaming, how about I bring you bastard down under to offer a personal apology to my poor mother? In fact, I’ll bring you with me…. Now!"

Immediately, her energy field intensified exponentially. It was so intense that it obscured the lights from the sky, the ashen surrounding now thick with a sense of foreboding. 

"NO!" Xiaming’s face paled, murmuring to himself. "She’s going to blow herself up!"

Xia Ruoyun was the prodigy hailed from the Xia family — a savant who had already attained the title of Martial Honor at just a tender age. If not for the Yun Family’s "Devastation" he used in the prior attack, Xiaming wouldn’t have successfully and heavily injured her with his sneak attack. Yet, injuring a Martial Honor means nothing if she was going for an assault of a mutually-assured destruction!

Pccchh!

Suddenly, shredding through the still air of the hills, was an abrupt sound of a human chest being stabbed through.

Xia Ruoyun’s body froze, her gaze fell to the blade lodged in her chest. She turned her head slowly to a chiseled, handsome face. "Luchen… You…."

She knew Luchen was going to appear. But because it was Luchen, she had allowed herself to let her guard down.

She could not believe this. The man she trusted the most would want her killed!

Energy exploded out from her body, vaporizing the blade into sparks. Her hand held her chest as it bled, her eyes bleed in disbelief and deep sorrow, "Why would you...?"

Kill me?

The last two words were trapped by the lump in her throat. She just could not say them out.

A faint semblance of guilt and sadness flickered in Luchen’s eyes, but they were gone in a flash.

"My dear Yun, I’m sorry... But I am an ambitious man. You may be the love of my life, but only Chuxue is the reincarnated avatar of the Ancient Phoenix Zhixie, the true arbiter of the Ancient Divine Pagoda! With its power, she will become the strongest of this realm. Whoever marries her would then essentially own the world, and that is why I did what I had to do…"

Xia Ruoyun’s face was drained of any color. The man she loved or who had sworn to love and protect her forever was now pettily wagging a blade against her.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she charged towards Luchen like a possessed woman.

"My brother! My brother Yu, whom you promised to protect! What have you done to him, you wretch?!" Intense pain shot through her body but she ignored them, with her attention fixated on him as she clutched his shirt in hysterical fits. 

Mother is dead. Her grandfather and his family were dead too. Her baby brother was all she had now! She had trusted Luchen and she had wanted her baby brother to stay out of this. That was why she had trusted Yu with this bastard. But now…

Xia Ruoyun’s body shook as suspicion rose within her. Fear began to shroud her sickly face. It was so pitiful, even Luchen felt a throb in his chest.

It was short-lived. His heart hardened immediately, and so did his voice as he ordered his men, "Bring me Xia Linyu!"

A thump was heard as a half-dead boy was thrown towards their direction. His frail body swayed and shuddered in this howling gale as if he could be blown away by the wind.

"Yu'er!" A heart-wrenching scream escaped from her throat as tears broke free from her eyes.

The boy, perhaps upon hearing familiarity behind the hysteric cry, finally stirred weakly. Those eyes that were once so clear, could now only tiredly gazed upon Xia Ruoyun. "Sis…ter…" He tried to muster his strength, yet his voice was devoid of any.

She coughed, splattering her garment with blood. "Release him!"

"Release him? Return the Ancient Divine Pagoda to us. Then, we talk," Luchen snickered, trying his best to conceal any lingering feelings he still had for Xia Ruoyun.

What are the worth of women, when compared to power? After all, once a man had obtained power, women themselves would come flocking to him.

Xia Ruoyun's face was very quickly draining out of life. She turned to the middle-aged man behind her, whose face was not the slightest bit fazed. "He is your son! The blood of the Xia family runs in him!"

Xia Ming laughed scornfully at her remark, his voice chilly as he replied, "The blood of mine? It only runs in Chu Xue alone! A weak, incompetent, sickly child like Xia Lingyu is no son of mine! At least, for the sake of the Ancient Divine Pagoda, his death could be worth something!"

Xia Ruoyun shuddered. She closed her eyes for a long while, then opened them again. This time, her gaze was soft as she looked at the bloodied body of the poor boy.

"Is this frightening you, my brother?"

The frail boy shook his head with an indignant might. "No! Don't let them have it, Big Sister! Mother and Grandfather would be dying in vain if they do! I…I believe in you. I believe that my sister will avenge me one day…"

THUD! Lu Chen pounded his foot on Xia Lingyu's chest, and blood poured out of the boy's mouth. His face paled and his body sagged onto the floor.

"This is an order." Lu Chen looked up, his face revealing no emotion. "Rip Xia Lingyu's internal organs out, and have his limbs severed alive!"

That cold voice rang like a hammer pounding into her heart. She howled in fury, "Lu Chen, you bastard! I should have never trusted you with Yu'er! It's because of me that my precious brother is suffering!"

Bleak tears, filled with sorrow, ran down untamed—not before long, her eyes started widening hysterically as she threw herself towards her brother. But she could not make it to him. Lu Chen struck her body as she sprinted forward, and knocked her off the ground. Her body smacked onto the ground from the force.

Two men pinned Xia Lingyu onto the ground. Then, his limbs were sliced off by the icy blades of their swords. Fresh blood burst from the cuts, soaking her vision with its crimson color.

"No!!!"

Her eyes were bloodshot as she cried out hoarsely, "Let him go! Let him go! If you let him go… I--!"

"Sister." It was a very weak whisper, but it echoed among the hills, and it echoed clearly in her ears.

"Don't…ever…give them…The Ancient…Di-divine Pagoda….Only it c-can avenge M-Mother…For this, I'm willing…to die."

The sound of flesh being torn apart seemed to be amplified. A long blade had run itself into his chest, pinning whatever left of his words into his throat forever…

Xia Lingyu's body lay on his own pool of blood. His widening eyes seemed to be saying the words his throat could no longer say. He felt his life escaping him, while his eyes showed how reluctant he was to leave.

He was going to see Mother soon, but…what about his sister? He was already the last of her family. With himself gone, she would be so….lonely…

"Yu'er!!!"

The stress wringing on her heart forced another outpour of blood from her chest as Xia Ruoyun stumbled to her brother in a limping gait.

"It's my fault! It's my wrongdoing…I put my faith in someone else, and now you're suffering from my judgement!"

"Grandfather is dead, Mother is dead… Only you are left on my side, Brother!"

"Yu'er...If…If there is a next life…I swear I will protect you from any single harm, I will let you live in everlasting peace…"
