Chapter 1611 “Heartache (1)”
“This is bad!” The leader of the group could no longer keep up the courage to fight this fear. Without another thought, the individual ditches his companions and turn tails for the other way in a thin glimmer of hope to save his own hide. However, it’s too late, the scorching flame that materialized as he did so came shooting over in a blast of radiant heat, engulfing him and burning him into ash.
Acting in a similar effect to a plague, the purgatory flames quickly contaminated the rest of the city after the initial explosion, burning and incinerating the structures in its wake. Fortunately, most if not all of the residences were able to escape in time after having the battle dragged on for so long, otherwise the victims here today would be in the tens of thousands.
But this fact did not matter to the young lass who caused all this though. That mind of hers was quickly losing upon itself, replaced only by anger and a murderous intent for all living things….
……
So, by the time Keeper Ling and the rest of his fellows from the Celestial Palace arrived was when this scene of carnage reached its peak – the lass standing atop of a pile of what remained of the defenders with a couple survivors wailing in pain and one extending their hand out for help.
Sadly for the grumpy Keeper who attempted to charge in at this cruel scene, the perpetrator didn’t give him the chance to do anything, incinerated the last of the survivor like a big slap at his face
Without surprise, Keeper Ling felt an indescribable burst of anger wanting to explode out of his chest. Fixating his menacing eye at the one responsible: “Little girl, I do not believe there is any grudge between us, why do you attack and murder so many of us from the Celestial Realm?”
This wasn’t the first attack on one of the cities under their management, the only reason they never came out was due to the threat of the Demon Realm attacking if they interfered. That’s why the old timer felt so angry, he’s angry at himself for not acting sooner and allowing this heinous carnage to run so long.
“You all deserve it!”
They all deserve to die!
“You…” Drawing his sword in one full swing, Keeper Ling didn’t hesitate and slashes down at the young lass’s head after getting the broken answer.
Despite the sudden and sneaky maneuver, the blood covered girl neither hid nor dodge, only strolling forward as the sword came down. It hit and a sharp gash now shows from the shoulder down to the right elbow. It’s painful to even glare at it as the blood poured out.
“Keeper Ling, this little girl doesn’t seem to be right in the head…” Keeper Zun zoned in at the erratic tone and commented, “her symptoms, it’s as if she’s gone… berserk?”
Not only that, she seems to sense a deep level of sadness as well exuding from the girl’s body. As if she’s willing to throw away the life she had due to its meaningless existence.
“Not good!” The kind Keeper exclaims suddenly, “She’s not only gone berserk, she also wants to commit suicide with us!”
Suicide?
Jolting to attention at the phrase, Keeper Ling who had the biggest balls among his peers didn’t want to get an inch closer at this point. He’s arrogant and stubborn at times, but that doesn’t mean he’s willing to die for nothing. So, turning to his sword, he slashes out multiple times and shot out energy blade after energy blade.
The repeated attack worked. Falling into tatters, the blood-stained dress was cut all over with the deep wounds on that body to showing for it. In light of the savage hits, she doesn’t falter and lacked any image of someone suffering from pain. On the contrary, there’s only a deeper level of hatred in that dainty little face, which manifested into a deep dark black burning fire that scorched everything in its vicinity.
“Keeper Ling, don’t let her near us!” Keeper Zun advices his peer in great shock.
Make no mistake, there’s no question in the kind Keeper’s mind that the girl’s current state was dreadfully dangerous. Take that black burning fire, it’s giving him such a bad feeling that he instinctively
