Jin Youxi charged into the heaps of corpses and looked at her master, whose face was completely unrecognizable.
Her heart felt as if it were being torn apart.
But when she saw that her master was still alive,
she finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Then she turned around.
A gigantic martial-arts phantom appeared behind her.
It began a one-sided slaughter of the remaining members of the Heaven-Devouring Club.
Seeing that the situation was turning against them,
those people all began to flee.
The remaining citizens of Kunlun City,
watching Jin Youxi resolve the crisis, erupted into cheers of victory.
Yet every voice
was laced with sobs.
The heroes of Great Xia had protected them with their lives.
And they, in turn, had protected the heroes of Great Xia with their own lives.
But the price had been devastating, paid with countless lives.
At that moment, Chen Feng’s injuries were rapidly healing.
A voice that suddenly appeared in his mind jolted him awake from his unconscious state.
【Congratulations on achieving the Master Mentor achievement.】
【Disciple Eleven, Yang Xuan, has died.】
【The master will inherit the disciple’s qi and blood value.】
【Reward: 403 qi and blood points.】
……
【Congratulations on achieving the Master Mentor achievement.】
【Disciple Thirteen, Anthony, has died.】
【The master will inherit the disciple’s qi and blood value.】
【Reward: 816 qi and blood points.】
Two notifications came one after another.
They jolted Chen Feng fully awake.
“Yang Xuan!”
“Anthony!”
At that moment, his qi and blood value had reached 168,922 points.
But he had no mind to pay attention to his own strength.
Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes.
After Liu Weiwei, two more of his disciples had died.
His heart was filled with indescribable sorrow.
These people had originally taken him as their master
because they dreamed of pursuing martial arts and making something of themselves.
But before they could even grow stronger,
they had followed their master into the Kunlun Mountains and died in this battle.
If he had never accepted them as disciples,
perhaps they would not have been dragged into this deadly war today.
Yang Xuan might still have been an aimless, dyed-hair street punk.
But that would still have been better than being dead.
Anthony might still have been tirelessly training his battle aura, hoping to avenge Aiden someday.
Now, however, he had died before he could fulfill his vengeance.
At that moment, Chen Feng felt deeply guilty toward these newly accepted disciples.
Thinking of Zhao Bing, Angelina, and Amir, who were still fighting in the Kunlun Mountains,
he immediately began circulating the Yijin Jing to accelerate the healing of his injuries.
He had to hurry back.
There were still many people fighting in the Kunlun Mountains.
He absolutely could not collapse here.
When Jin Youxi finished dealing with the members of the Heaven-Devouring Club and returned to her master’s side,
she saw that the wounds covering his body had already healed completely.
He was currently struggling to sit up.
Jin Youxi hurried over and helped him to his feet.
“Master, I’ll take you home.”
Chen Feng quickly stopped her.
“No!”
“I have to return to the Kunlun Mountains!”
“The others—and your fellow disciples—are still waiting for me.”
Gritting his teeth, Chen Feng forced himself to stand steadily on his own.
Jin Youxi anxiously tried to stop him.
“But Master, your injuries are so severe.”
“Even if you go, you won’t be able to change anything. You should recover first, then go back.”
The people around them also could not help urging him to stop.
“Hero of Great Xia, we know that you’ve already done everything you could.”
“Don’t push yourself. You need to recover as quickly as possible so you can stop that devil.”
“You’re so badly injured that going there would only mean throwing your life away.”
……
Many people had witnessed Chen Feng’s miserable condition earlier.
Every bone in his body had been shattered.
Although he was recovering at an astonishing rate,
they could all sense that Chen Feng had reached his limit.
If he returned to the Kunlun Mountains, he might truly never come back.
Besides, it was already half past midnight.
The Hour of the Rat was about to end.
This struggle over the Ghost Mound Stone Coffin was also drawing to a close.
They all hoped that the hero of Great Xia would survive.
Whenever something happened in the past, they knew this man would step forward.
For them, for Great Xia, he would shoulder everything.
If even Great Xia’s hero died, then they truly would never see hope again.
As long as Chen Feng was alive,
they felt that the future still held hope.
Over the years, Chen Feng had turned the tide time and again. His image as a savior had long since taken root in people’s hearts.
Even now, though everyone knew Chen Feng was no match for Su Yuanshan,
they still hoped that Great Xia’s hero would work another miracle.
After a long while, Chen Feng finally steadied himself.
Though his injuries were healing rapidly, the exhaustion and hollow emptiness within him could not be restored.
Chen Feng turned to look at his beloved disciple, Jin Youxi.
“Take good care of Shuangshuang for me.”
He bent his knees slightly, then launched himself into the air.
A peerlessly sharp wave of sword energy tore open the way ahead. Like a streak of lightning, his dragon-like figure charged once more toward the Kunlun Mountains.
Watching her master vanish into the distance, Jin Youxi’s heart was filled with endless worry, along with an indescribable sense of pride.
“This is my master—a man who stands tall beneath the heavens.”
“Junior Sister Wei Wei is already dead. Junior Brother Zhao Bing and the other junior brothers and sisters are still fighting in the Kunlun Mountains.”
“How can I possibly hide safely in the rear by myself?”
Jin Youxi knew that once her master left, the odds were heavily against him.
She did not want to remain by White Tiger Abyss as she had last time, waiting in bitter anguish for ten years.
She did not want to endure those lifeless days again, consumed by longing until she grew sick from it.
This time, no matter what happened, she had to lend her master a hand.
Jin Youxi hurried back to Tiandu, intending to settle Shuangshuang somewhere safe first.
But she discovered that Shuangshuang was gone.
A sheet of A4 paper had been taped to the television in the living room.
It contained the message Shuangshuang had left for her.
“Senior Sister Youxi, you don’t need to worry about me.”
“I saw the news. I know you went to Kunlun City to save Dad.”
“I’m going to the Kunlun Mountains too, to rescue Senior Brother Zhao Bing and the other junior brothers and sisters.”
“I’m Su Yuanshan’s only granddaughter. He loved Mom so much—he would never hurt me.”
“All along, I’ve felt that you’re the one best suited for Dad.”
“At the very least, Grandpa Jin is a good man. You two won’t become enemies.”
“Once Mom is brought back to life, I’ll make them get divorced.”
“Senior Sister Youxi, do your best!”
Jin Youxi tore the note from the television.
A gratified smile appeared on her face, while tears glimmered in her eyes.
“That silly child!”
“What kind of person tries to make her senior sister become her stepmother?”
Jin Youxi carefully folded the A4 sheet and tucked it close against her body.
She did not try to chase after Chen Shuangshuang.
She knew exactly how fast that girl’s Lingbo Footwork was.
Besides, she had no idea how far Shuangshuang had already gone.
But Shuangshuang was right about one thing.
Su Yuanshan would never hurt her.
Because she was Su Yan’s biological daughter.
Jin Youxi walked back to her room.
From a hidden compartment in the drawer, she took out a framed photograph.
Inside was a carefully edited wedding photo.
The groom was Chen Feng, dressed in a crisp white suit.
The bride was none other than herself, wearing a pink wedding gown.
The two of them stood in each other’s arms.
They gazed into each other’s eyes, their faces glowing with happiness.
Jin Youxi stared at the picture for a long while before hugging the frame tightly to her chest.
She curled up on the soft sofa.
A blissful smile appeared on her face as she recalled her first meeting with her master.
“Miss, I can tell from your bone structure that you’re a naturally gifted martial artist.”
“I happen to have a technique that’s perfect for you.”
“Once you master it, you’ll definitely become a martial arts expert!”
She had been captivated on the spot by the sunny, handsome Chen Feng.
It had been the most beautiful day of her life.
Jin Youxi closed her eyes and whispered:
“Shuangshuang, I’m sorry. I can’t be your stepmother anymore.
