“It will explode!” The Bloody Saber Gatekeeper screamed in horror and rushed away.
Nobody could believe it. How desperate must the supreme expert have been to blow himself up??!
Not to mention that Ouyang Ming is a major sect master! He has tens of thousands of students whose lives depended entirely on this man! How could he just sacrifice himself??!
They didn’t even think that they would dare to attack them, and no one even expected the suicide of the supreme expert!
The Purple Dragon King became gloomy. Gritting his teeth, he struck with his purple palm - creating a barrier from a wave of air - and rushed away after the others.
“Farewell, Huashan,” Ouyang Ming whispered, smiling. “If there is reincarnation, I will definitely return.”
The last push of the foot and the inner strength accumulated over decades exploded.
It was as if the sun had burst into flames, covering a hundred meters in flames. Plants were charred before the flame touched them, the soil was torn off in layers, stones were scattered to pieces, several kilometers around were shaken by an earthquake, the whole of Huashan trembled.
The elite of the vicious cults stood with their mouths open. They fell, unable to maintain their balance due to the shock wave and the shaking of the ground. Many, even those who managed to find shelter, burned when the heat wave overtook them.
There was silence throughout the entire region. No one could imagine a reason that could force the supreme expert - the ruler of the fist world - to sacrifice himself without leaving even ashes behind..Immediately after the wave of fire, snow began to fall. Large flakes of ash fell from the sky, covering the ground for many kilometers around. People frozen in shock extended their hands.
Ouyang Ming was a true warrior. Instead of dying like everyone else, he showed that Huashan disciples would rather sacrifice themselves than give up.
Hundreds of thousands of demons trembled. Turning towards the high spire of Mount Hua, illuminated by moonlight, they felt fear.
At that moment, Huashan became a monster for them, its mouth wide open in anticipation of prey..
At the same time, people on the mountain began to come to their senses. But no one could bring themselves to move - even just get to their feet - everyone continued to silently look towards the smoking crater.
Something has disappeared from their world. No one yet realized what exactly Huashan was missing, but everyone felt a surge of grief. Many students burst into tears without understanding why..
.˙.
“Khoo-hoo...”
There was a cough. From under the rubble of stones and ashes a hand appeared, with pieces of burnt flesh falling off in clumps..
It was the Purple Dragon King.
He protected the others with himself and therefore suffered the greatest damage.
Having difficulty rising to his feet, the King shakily walked to the surviving stone to sit down and catch his breath..
Exhaling a spray of blood with air, he growled:
“That's crazy! Blown yourself up, idiot! The Sect Master, the supreme expert, blew himself up right before the battle! And what's the point? I'm alive! Alive! And you died, bastard!”
“What an idiot,” laughed the Bloody Saber Gatekeeper, breathing with difficulty due to his broken ribs. “I can’t believe it. What nonsense. This is the first time I've seen someone blow themselves up..”
The other three looked rather gloomy. They all suffered serious injuries and simply could not understand what motivated Ouyang Ming. How could you blow yourself up, the leader of a sect, even before the war began??
Okay, if he wanted to protect the sect, but who would protect it without a supreme expert??
“Apparently he wanted to gain time,” sighed the Gatekeeper of the Bloody Saber. “Look at us, we’re all half dead. Now the reinforcements will have time.”
“Fuck it!” roared the Dragon King. He had always been very calm, but now he was gnashing his teeth with anger. “Let him watch, the freak, how his sect will be razed to the ground! Who can go, convey my order: we will go on the attack tomorrow morning!”
The two most intact stood up and, supporting each other, limped towards their troops, raking the burning ashes with their feet..
.˙.
“Brother Qin, are you sure? How could the master die? He's still young, what happened??!”
There was an uneasy atmosphere in the Huashan meeting hall. All hearts missed a beat.
If the only expert of a major sect died, then it was as if they were left in a house without a roof. Who could remain calm in such conditions??
Elder Qin, swallowing tears, replied:
“You saw his death yourself.”
“What do you mean?.. This... this explosion...”
“The master blew himself up?!”
“How?! For what?! Why?!”
“Elder Qin, why didn't you stop him??!”
“What should we do without a chapter??!”
“This is the end... it's the end for us all...”
They were surrounded by a monstrous army, and they were left without their only supreme expert. People were panicking. Didn't know what to do, what to do.
Elders Linghu and Yu looked especially gloomy. With the death of the Master, it was they who had the greatest power in Huashan, and therefore the greatest responsibility.
But they just couldn’t imagine what they should do now.
No one could imagine why Ouyang Ming killed himself.
Only Lin Yi stood up and stood silently, looking into the void..
He did so much. Changed the fate of Huashan, changed the fate of all the Five Mountain Swords. The fist world itself succumbed to him.
So why did the teacher, Ouyang Ming, die anyway??
All his pride, all the pleasure from his own achievements, immediately disappeared.
Could he really change the world if he couldn't save even one person??!
Why did he kill himself?! For what??!
Gritting his teeth, Lin Yi walked towards Elder Qin step by step..
“Why didn't you tell me he was going to blow himself up? Why didn't you stop him??!”
“I tried. He didn’t listen to me,” Qin replied..
Tears were streaming down his cheeks.
“Why didn't you tell me?!”
“Because he forbade it. Brother Ouyang knew that you would try to stop him.”
“Shall I try? I wouldn't have tried, I would have stopped him! Why did he kill himself?! There had to be another way!”
“Not for him. Ming was seriously wounded a long time ago; he had weeks, if not days, left. He wanted to die in battle, not chained to bed. And buy us time. The heads of the four sects with elite troops will only arrive tomorrow. And this was the only way to seriously injure the enemy supreme experts. Without them, we have a chance to withstand tomorrow's attack, and he still only had a few days left..”
“Absurd! I saw him this morning and he looked completely healthy! How can a supreme expert die from some kind of wounds??!”
“For a long time... This happened when we were very young, more than three decades ago. He was pushed off the mountain and almost died. When the former Master gave him the Violet Mist Divine Skill, he could be said to have come to life. But the wounds did not go away, they were simply held back by inner strength, gradually eating away at him from the inside..”
Lin Yi froze with his mouth slightly open.
Now he understood why Ouyang Ming had been talking to him all night. Even then he decided to die in battle. Make one last gift to Huashan.
And in his past life, it turns out that it was not the injuries received in battle that killed him. He's been dying for decades.
That's why he allowed Elders Linghu and Yu to openly confront each other.
All his life he knew he was dying. And therefore I was looking for a worthy heir from the moment I became the master of Huashan.
So many secrets were revealed... but Lin Yi did not feel any joy.
Against. Just a heavy load falling on your shoulders.
Master Ouyang Ming entrusted him with the fate of Huashan.
He believed that Lin Yi could save them.
That's why he also believed that Lin Yi was the incarnation of the Sword God. He just wanted to believe before he died that Huashan would definitely be saved.
“Teacher...” Lin Yi muttered as he looked out the window frame with glass shards.
At the site of the explosion there was only a column of smoke, colored by moonlight..
“I will make your dream come true. I will protect Huashan.”
