“If I live, then you will die!”
“... I'll survive... I'll die...”
“... you'll die...”
The echo repeated his words several more times. Or were they thoughts??
The Purple Dragon King silently looked into the clouds, which were momentarily dispersed by the youths who had fallen into them..
He touched a deep cut on his face. If he had woken up a moment later, another person would have fallen down the cliff..
This technique...
Replaying it in his head thousands of times, over and over again, the Dragon King became more and more horrified. It was something incredible. Demonic.
The will of the sword is unimaginably terrible!
But even the owner of such power decided to give up and jump off the cliff.The Dragon King was not sure that he would have survived a fall from several kilometers in his best condition, what to say about the practically killed youth?
And yet fear did not leave him. He felt as if the Sword God could jump back out at any moment and cut off his head..
The echo continued to come. And it was definitely in his head.
The Dragon King's heart tightened.
“You won't survive...” he muttered. “It’s impossible to survive such a fall in your condition... Why am I afraid anyway?! Even if he survives, the bastard, I will cut off his head!”
The Dragon King shouted it so loudly that the shock wave dispersed the slowly moving clouds.
He tried to convince himself.
Looking down one last time, he disappeared like a ghost.
He failed to deliver the final blow, so let no one know that the greatest talent born in the fist world, who killed five semi-supreme experts before he could spend at least five years in the fist world, died here on a nameless mountain.
.˙.
A month has passed.
No one had seen the Sword God. No one has heard of him since that very town on the southern border.
Whether he was dead or alive, no one knew.
Gradually the greatest man began to be forgotten.
Glory is like the hot sun in the desert. Night will come and the sands will forget how hot it was, becoming colder than stone.
Six people sat at the same table in Kaifeng with their heads down.
The five disciples of the Five Mountain Swords and Ye Dong, the head disciple of the Beggar Sect. Six talents with limitless possibilities, looking worse than many beggars. ɌÃNꝊᛒĘs
They sat in silence for a long time, until finally Linghu Feng spoke in a broken voice.:
“A month has passed and there is still no news. Scouts in the demon camp report that the Purple Dragon King has returned long ago. But there is no news from the older brother. As if he never existed.”
“The elder brother couldn’t have died, I don’t believe it!” Yaoyin exclaimed as she stood up.
Tears were streaming down her cheeks.
“I also don’t believe that he could have died,” Ye Dong supported. “He was probably seriously injured and is now coming to his senses. He couldn't lose.”
Linghu Feng sighed:
“It's like I want to believe in his defeat. I know better than all of you how strong big brother is. But he is also a man. And there was no news about him for a whole month. We need to go back. The Alliance is waiting for us. Someone has to lead the peacekeeping troops into battle. So... let's leave tomorrow morning. We agreed to return a month ago, it’s time to fulfill the promise... And our Masters should know that Shaolin could have saved him, but instead their masters just stood and watched... the creatures...”
For the first time in a month, he left the tea shop where the six of them were sitting and went out into the lively, buzzing streets of Kaifeng..
The sky was shining, people were happily talking and trading, as if everything was fine.
As if the person they betrayed did not pay for their peace with his life.
Looking up at the clear, azure sky, Feng suppressed the cry that rose in his throat and said quietly:
“I will fulfill your wish, brother. I will protect Huashan and the Five Mountain Swords... You... you can... rest in peace...”
.˙.
“Madam, we can't wait any longer. The owner ordered us to immediately return to Mandala village. Need to leave tomorrow morning.”
Several Mandala village elders arrived in Kaifeng to take her with them..
“I won’t come back until I see him!” screamed Vn Yuluo.
“Listen, madam, I haven’t heard from him for more than a month! Accept the fact that he died!”
“No, Young Master Lin could not die! He's alive! He will come back to me!”
“Well, listen to yourself, how could he survive? He was being chased by a supreme expert, moreover, the Purple Dragon King himself. What chances could he have??..”
“I... then I will avenge him!”
She suddenly pulled out a sword and was about to jump out the window.
“Madam, are you crazy??!”
One of the elders grabbed her and hugged her from behind..
“Yes, I'm crazy! He is our hope, he is my hope! How could they kill him?! Bald creatures, I'll kill them all!”
The elders shook their heads.
Sighing, one of them slammed the hilt of his dagger into the back of her head before she brought the wrath of the Shaolin upon their village..
“No need to wait for tomorrow, let's go now. Young mistress has a nervous breakdown and needs treatment.”
The elders nodded and immediately began to prepare for the journey..
.˙.
A girl in green stood silently on the Kaifeng Tower, silently observing the city..
Her eyes were cold and her lips looked like they couldn't smile.
“Sister...”
The young man rose to her and quietly called.
“Ziyan, you?”
“Yeah.”
“Today is exactly one month since we last heard from Young Master Lin. Stop wasting time. We need to return to the islands. I will lock myself in my room and not come out until I become the supreme expert. I hope you fulfill your vow before me, otherwise I'll leave alone.”
“I'll do it, sister. We will take revenge on the Dragon King and the Shaolin donkeys.”
She nodded and jumped off the wall outside the city, towards Peachbud Island. Mu Ziyan jumped down right behind her.
.˙.
It took Linghu Feng and the others seven days to reach Huashan..
Taking a deep breath, he pulled himself together and climbed to the top of the mountain to report what had happened..
Elder Qin, upon hearing the news, immediately ran into the main palace and reported it to Ouyang Ming.:
“Master, the Purple Dragon King chased Lin Yi a month ago–”
“What?!”
Ming dropped his pen, ruining the document he had been working on all this time. His hand trembled, as did his whole body, he fell out from behind the table, barely rising to his shaky legs..
“It is unknown whether he died, but... nothing has been heard for a month.”
Min clutched his chest, leaning one hand on the column, and coughed up blood..
“Master! Younger Brother Ouyang!”
Qin jumped up to take him by the arms, but Ouyang Ming waved him off, wiped off the black blood with a handkerchief, and barked:
“Forget! I've been sick all my life, your care won't make me better!”
Qin was still looking at the blackened handkerchief. He asked in a trembling voice:
“Master, what should we do??..”
Holding back his emotions, Ouyang Ming thought for a few seconds and said in a calm tone:
“Linghu Feng will become the temporary leader of Huashan. Let... let him work on his reputation. And we need to teach him the Violet Mist Divine Skill. I... I hope Lin Yi is alive, but right now Feng is our only hope for the supreme expert.”
“For the sake of Huashan...” Qin said quietly, folding his hands and hurried away..
Ouyang Ming sat down at the chair, buried his face in his hands, and whispered:
“My boy, you are our most worthy master. You promised to survive, so don’t let your teacher down... Recover and take your time... Come back to us as soon as you can... I will wait until the very end...”
.˙.
The Sword God was remembered less and less, a new star appeared in the world.
The Five Mountain Sword Formation terrified all the demons that stood in its way. Linghu Feng, their leader, took the place of the strongest disciple of the Alliance.
Lin Yi was removed from the ranking. And people didn’t even notice it right away..
Legends that never came true quickly faded away.
But at one nameless river, from the depths of immense darkness, Lin Yi woke up.
