Against Heaven's Will

Hearing the laughter, Xuefeng got triggered. Since when did he run from a battle?

"Why are we even running from him? Let's go back," Xuefeng ordered, surprising everyone. "Look at our group. We have more than enough power to defeat anyone in Heaven Realm, not even mentioning some bitch in his Avatar."

Xuefeng's Elemental Bracelet activated, transforming into a full golden armor, signaling his resolve.

"You took it out of my mouth," Wuying commented as she stood next to him, pulling out her Blood Daggers. "I want to kill him too."

"He called my husband a Bitch. No one has ever survived that and today won't be different," Nuwa called out with a frown. "I'm going to wipe him out from existence."

Mona jumped off Yiren's shoulder and sat by Xuefeng's leg. Her single tail brightened with white light only to split in two, turning into two fluffy tails.

"I will help," Mona reported herself on duty.

Golden Queen and the rest didn't even have the chance to speak up when President Wu grabbed the steering wheel and performed a sudden 'U' turn.

"He was such a pain in the ass," President Wu announced, "If you want to take him down then count me in."

"And me," Yi called out, followed by Yiren, Tianshi, Lisa, Princess Shan, and Xiao Wen.

"Shouldn't he be out of Qi after using a Forbidden Art like this?" Xinyu pointed out as she stepped forward. "Let's finish him off."

Only Golden Queen was left who hasn't spoken out but when everyone glanced at her, she didn't have much choice left.

"Of course I'm going with you. I'm supposed to protect you after all."

Xuefeng smiled at the quick agreement and led everyone towards the exit.

"Let's go!"

When they stepped on the top deck with Xuefeng's on the lead, he felt like his group was finally taking shape. He reunited with most of his wives, with only Wu, Bella, and Drakos missing from making their team complete.

"I can see him!" Yiren called out as she pointed at the man in the distance. A middle-aged man with black burn marks on his face was hovering above the burning City, watching the destruction with a grin on his face.

Xuefeng gazed at the flames and understood Wuying's anger. One had to be really cruel to kill hundreds of thousands of people without batting an eye and even enjoying the people's suffering. Just the fact alone made Xuefeng despise the man in front of him.

"Huh? You came back?!" Crazy Zhang cried out in surprise as he finally looked away from the flames.

"Kill him!" Xuefeng ordered immediately, launching himself forward with Dragon Edge firmly in his hand. Everyone followed him, striking with clear killing intent.

Crazy Zhang didn't think twice and turned around, dipping in the opposite direction.

"Who is running now, bitch!?" Xuefeng called out after him when golden lightning flashed past them and Golden Queen blocked his escape route.

Despite being at his end, Crazy Zhang kept his smile high.

"Hahah! Fine! You got me!" Crazy Zhang called out as he stopped running, lifting his arms up. "It was fun while it lasted but I guess I'm dead right now, hehe."

The nickname the man had was definitely accurate, showing his craziness during the first encounter. Naturally, they didn't lower their guard just because he surrendered.

All three Elves Bloodlines activated at the same time and locked the man in place.

"Oof, tight!" Crazy Zhang exclaimed happily before winking at Golden Queen, "It's just the way I like it~ How did you know I like it rough?"

Bzzzt!

Golden Lightning burst out from her hand and struck his leg, ripping it away at full length.

No reaction what so ever.

"Oh, right, I'm supposed to cry in pain and beg for forgiveness," Crazy Zhang muttered as he cleared his throat. "Ahhhhh!!! It hurts!!! I am dying!!! Please spare me!!!"

Crazy Zhang performed the act before returning his expression back to normal.

"Is that what you wanted to hear?" he asked playfully, causing everyone to roll their eyes.

"He is not scared of dying and doesn't feel any pain. Tortures won't work on him so we can only kill him and be done with it," Golden Queen pointed out.

"Yes, I agree. You should kill me and destroy my body. If you don't, I might go to a nearby city and just detonate my body for fun," Crazy Zhang said casually before adding a sound effect in slow motion, "Booooooooooooom…"

Xuefeng didn't know what to say to that. The man was both delusional and psychotic.

"Mhmm," Crazy Zhang took a deep breath. "A burning City. There is nothing better than the smell of burning bodies in the evening. I wish they didn't die so fast and let me enjoy it more."

Swoosh!

Wuying couldn't stand his works anymore, appearing in front of him with two Blood Daggers and pierced them straight through his chest.

"You fucker… No matter where you are, I will find you and kill you. I will make sure you suffer an hour for every life you have taken today," Wuying vowed, piercing the daggers even deeper.

"Oh wow, it will take you some time to kill me then," Crazy Zhang commented with a grin. "Anyway, do you mind killing me quicker? I'm already running late. Got some matters to settle in the God Realm."

"You are playing with the wrong people. When we Ascend to the God Realm, you won't live too long," Xuefeng called out as he extended his hand, displaying the Elemental Bracelet. "Can you see this? It's the Fire Stone you always wanted. Whoops, it seems it's mine now. I wonder how are you going to kill me when I can control all your flames?"

With those words, he clenched his fist and his Fire Stone lit up. The flames burning the city suddenly froze, extinguishing within seconds. Instead of a city, there was a massive crater in the middle with all buildings destroyed. Unfortunately, no people could be seen leaving from within the ruins.

Crazy Zhang finally lost his smile as he glared at Xuefeng.

"You think you are invincible with the Elemental Bracelet? Haha! Don't make me laugh!" Crazy Zhang laughed sarcastically. "No matter how many Stones you have gathered, you cannot be on guard at all times for the rest of your life. There will come a day you need some rest and that's when your life will end!"

He glanced at their whole group and grinned again. "Seeing how many friends and lovers you have, I guess you don't know the main reason why all Elemental Bracelet Owners died. It wasn't the enemies who killed them but rather their friends and lovers. Haha, good luck sleeping well knowing your wife can kill you at any mome—"

Wuying pulled out her Daggers before cutting off the man's head. He didn't finish his words before his body burst like a bubble. A transparent Soul Fragment popped out from inside, causing Ming to act. Fate Qi extended from Xuefeng's body before coating around the fragment and sucking it inside.

'Nice, I managed to grab it before it vanished. Tell Wuying we can track him later using this Soul Fragment,' Ming informed. When Wuying heard the news, she brightened for a moment, keeping her daggers.

"Tell Ming I said thank you," Wuying replied and flew back towards him. "Let's go."

No one questioned Wuying's suggestion as they all got back into the Flying Ship. There was nothing else left to do there. Even though many bandits died, all they could do is move on with their lives.

"It's not Xuefeng's fault, nor is it our fault," Princess Shan announced her opinion as soon as they gathered in their room. "We shouldn't blame anyone else besides that psycho. He wanted to destroy and kill anyway. Just because we were the targets doesn't mean we should blame ourselves."

"It's okay. I think everyone understands that," Xuefeng assured. "We can only move on and focus on ourselves. Is everyone alright?"

"Mhmm," Everyone nodded beside Wuying who suddenly stood up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

"I will go take a shower," Wuying informed before closing doors behind her. It was obvious she was bothered by something.

"I will go talk to her," Xuefeng volunteered as he followed her inside.

She was already in the middle of removing her outfit when he closed the doors and hugged her from behind.

"Are you okay?" Xuefeng whispered as he kissed her on the neck and helped her undress. "You can tell me if something bothers you."

"I'm okay…" Wuying muttered after a moment of silence. "It has been a while since I lost a subordinate under me, not to mention a whole group. As a leader, I felt responsible for them, even though they were bandits. They worked hard to change their lives for the better and trusted us, yet their lives ended just like that."

She turned to him as her body lost every piece of clothing and hugged him tightly, cuddling into his chest.

"Don't worry, we will get him sooner or later and you will have your revenge," Xuefeng assured, lifting her chin to kiss her.

"For now, don't think about it. Let me distract your mind a little."
