FRIVOLOUS SNOW

38|Eternal Sleep

Yong Jie shoves Yong Xian to attend for Fennu or he would escape without notice. No one knows if he was faking it or not. Yong Jie felt how awkward it would be for Yong Xian but he needs to suck it up and face Fennu.

"His dantian." Yong Jie whispered to Yao Xue. "Use your spiritual weapon to pierce it." He said and Yong Jie hasn't seen Yao Xue's spiritual weapon before. He was sure it wasn't Jinghua but he has a guess what it was.

Yao Xue nodded and Yao Xue charged at Qu Zhu. Qu Zhu moved like he wasn't hurting but deep inside he was struggling to maintain his composure. His energy was running out and if he wouldn't end it quick, then it would be his end.

Yong Jie noticed Qu Zhu's attacks becoming aggressive like he was in a hurry. Yong Jie blocked and attacked. The two men fighting looked like they were dancing in a synchronized manner with their robes fluttering and whirling with their movements was beautiful to look at.

"For a moment, I thought you resemble someone I know very well." Qu Zhu said as their swords clashed. "But you're way below his level so it is impossible."

Yong Jie didn't say anything as he withdraws and didn't care about what Qu Zhu was saying. He took a furtive glance at Yao Xue and saw how he materialized his spiritual weapon out of thin air. A white bow and his heart felt warm when he saw the tassel he gave Yao Xue was hanged on the bow.

He couldn't help but smile then turned to Qu Zhu. "This low level cultivator will be the one to send you to the abyss." Yong Jie said and Qu Zhu chuckled as they attacked each other.

"How could a low level like you defeats me?" Qu Zhu gritted.

"Don't underestimate me. You will pay for all the lives that you took." Yong Jie said they both swung their swords.

Yao Xue summoned his spiritual weapon, Ji Jing. A white bow and a weapon that holds huge value in the Xuogou country. His eyes caught the tassel dangling on the bow making him look at Yong Jie who was hit by Qu Zhu's sword on his upper arm, slicing his robes and skin. Yong Jie also sliced Qu Zhu on his side.

Then on the other side, Yao Xue saw Yong Xian running towards Qi Zhu with Mei in his hand and struck it from behind. Qu Zhu who was growing weak wasn't able to feel Yong Xian's sudden attack from behind feeling his stomach getting pierced by the cultivator's sword.

Qu Zhu chuckled feeling the sword that was stuck in him wasn't the cultivator's spiritual weapon. Blood flowed up to his mouth and spit a mouthful to the ground as Yong Xian pulled Mei from Qu Zhu.

Qu Zhu turned around furiously, his eyes turning red from anger and ready to swing to Yong Xian when he got struck by another weapon on the same spot making him grunt and another wave of blood flowed out of his mouth. A glowing bow was buried in his abdomen.

"Qu Zhu, you're beyond repair with all of your meridian broken. Even consuming virgins your whole life wouldn't be enough. You shouldn't be alive but your demon energy was the only thing that's keeping you standing in your feet and fighting us. You can't always keep up the act."

Qu Zhu's robes turned darker, the color of blood couldn't be seen since he was wearing black and violet robes. Qu Zhu chuckled, spitting blood in the process as he fell on his knees. He was indeed doomed but he didn't expect to win that fight from the start either since he knew his condition well.

Qu Zhu glared at Fennu who crawled up to where his sword was laying on the ground and used it to support him from standing up.

"Of course, I am not the only demon you will face in the future. Later on, the world will be in chaos without that man in your side." Qu Zhu smiled.

"Qu Zhu!" Fennu called as he struggled to walk towards Qu Zhu with a sword in hand.

Qu Zhu didn't have any more energy to move. His body was aching from the weapon in his abdomen. He wished to extract it but his hands failed him.

"Zi Xin." Yong Xian called and Fennu glared at Yong Xian as he walked and stopped in front of the kneeling Qu Zhu.

Fennu snorted in from of his previous master. Qu Zhu rolled his eyes to Fennu whose eyes were filled with vengeance. "I couldn't believe I will end up in your hands." Qu Zhu said.

The three cultivators were only standing as they watched the scene before them, giving Fennu the honor of ending Qu Zhu's life for his revenge.

"I couldn't believe this is happening either. You kneeling and on the brink of eternal death. You will never inflict pain and suffering to anyone again because you will never be given another chance to be reborn." Fennu said, his voice cracking in anger and anticipation of killing Qu Zhu with his bare hands. He wanted the man dead even way before.

Qu Zhu just stared at Fennu without saying anything.

Fennu raised Zi Xin's sword and pierced it in Qu Zhu's chest, pushing the demon on the sand. Fennu's blow didn't kill him and send him to eternal slumber but Yao Xue's Ji Jing which was planted right in his dantian and Fennu knew it well.

Fennu pulled the sword from Qu Zhu with blood dripping on its tip. Fennu chuckled like he was possessed and the three cultivators gasped in surprise.

Yong Xian couldn't call out Zi Xin's name in shock when Fennu stabbed himself in his chest and the act was only enough for him to succumb to death.

Yong Xian cried as he moved immediately, catching Zi Xin's body from falling on top of Qu Zhu's body who was already disappearing, his body turning into clouds of dust as it gets carried by the hot wind.

"Zi Xin!" Yong Xian cried as he slowly pulled the sword in his chest and blood started flowing, tainting his green robes.

Yong Jie crouched down and touched Zi Xin's face. His body immediately felt cold which was to fast for a body to turn cold just after dying.

Being possessed by a demon, the body would disappear after turning into dust just like Qu Zhu's body who was already halfway in the process of disappearing.

Yong Xian cried and he pulled Zi Xin in his chest. He couldn't lose Zi Xin. He didn't want to lose Zi Xin because he hasn't told him what he truly feels for the man.
