Yun Lintian stopped his movement and lowered his head to look at her face. Even though she lost a lot of blood, her face was still beautiful as before.
Xia Yao smiled faintly and said. "Promise me, okay?"
Yun Lintian's lips were shaking, and his pupils filled with despair. He felt his throat was completely dried. A second later, he responded in a choking voice. "I promise. I will live well."
The pale smile on Xia Yao's face grew wider as she spoke. "Thankfully, there's Ah'Hao to accompany you. At least you won't be alone when I'm gone."
"No!" Yun Lintian shook his head forcefully. Unwilling and hopelessness were written all over his face.
"Can I ask you a favor? Can you bury me on the Rain Mountain so that I can watch you every day?" Xia Yao said weakly.
"No…" Yun Lintian fell onto his knees as his mind went blank… It was funny. He always believed he was smarter than anybody, but at this moment, he couldn't come up with anything to save the most important woman in his life.
Xia Yao carefully wiped the tears on Yun Lintian's cheeks and struggled to speak. "Lintian… I will… always… love you… whether in this life or the next life… Don't miss me too much… We will… meet…again."
Tears flowed out of her eyes as her consciousness was gradually fading away… If God was real. Please protect him and let him live in peace throughout his life. That's all I can ask for…
Xia Yao's hand gradually fell down like a fallen leaf. Yun Lintian didn't let her hand fall entirely down. He caught her cold hand and pressed it on his cheek.
"Ah… AHHH…" His body seemed to trigger a function to relieve his pain by uttering a sound out. The lights in his eyes were wholly dimmed, replacing with endless despair as he stared at Xia Yao's lifeless face blankly.
Dead…
She's dead…
Because of me…
Everything happened because of me…
Blood gradually seeped out of his eyes and mouth. He tightly hugged Xia Yao while constantly blaming himself in his heart. If he didn't come to seek revenge, Xia Yao wouldn't have died like this… If he didn't insist on doing this mission, everyone would still be alive and fine…
Yun Lintian was completely lost in the world of guilt and despair. He didn't even notice that Sin had picked up the rifle and aimed at him at this moment… And even if he did aware of it, what's else to care about out there? His entire world and everything was gone already…
Sin looked at the bleak and sorrowful Yun Lintian through the scope with a grin. "Heh, you can't blame me, right? She's seeking death by herself." He chuckled slightly and continued. "Since you love her so much, let me send you to her in a moment… Alas, I thought it would be fun to fight with you. I didn't expect you would be this fragile."
Sin touched the trigger and looked at Yun Lintian one last time before pulling it.
Bang!
The explosive bullet flew through the air toward Yun Lintian's head. However, when the shot was about to hit the target, a bright golden light suddenly shot out of Yun Lintian's body and formed a barrier around him. The bullet was immediately turned into ashes upon touching the golden barrier.
Instantly, more than a hundred meters around, Yun Lintian turned into a sea of golden flame, burning everything into ashes.
Lynn and her people were alarmed by the situation. They quickly retreated until they saw the golden flame did not continue to expand further.
"Lintian!" Lynn came back to her sense and looked in Yun Lintian's direction worriedly. She had no idea what was going on right now.
"What the…" Sin was shocked upon seeing this scene. He couldn't comprehend the situation before him… Did he use a kind of weapon? That's not right. The fire didn't burn Yun Lintian at all. What the hell was going on here?
At this moment, Yun Lintian slowly stood up from the ground. He still hugged Xia Yao close to his chest, but the vacant in his eyes had long disappeared. It was replaced with a burning golden light instead.
As Sin observed Yun Lintian, he suddenly saw the latter abruptly turn around to look in his direction. Sin instantly felt his entire body turn freezing cold, as though he had been thrown into an abyss of ice. His instinct madly screamed at him, telling him to run for his life.
However, before Sin could react, he discovered Yun Lintian's body suddenly blurred and disappeared from the spot. When he regained his sight again, Yun Lintian had already stood in front of him.
"What are you…ARGHH!!" Sin was thoroughly shocked to the core when he saw Yun Lintian appear in front of him like a ghost. In the next moment, his entire body and soul were engulfed with burning pain. He had been transformed into a human torch and desperately rolled on the ground while screaming painfully.
Yun Lintian stared at Sin without the slightest emotion on his face. The burning golden light in his eyes continued to shine brightly. It was even more vigorous than before.
Sin continued to struggle. His scream was gradually weakened until he was reduced into a pile of ashes. Until his death, he couldn't even figure out what monster he had provoked.
Yun Lintian stood motionless in the middle of the golden flame. He seemed to lose his soul, not knowing what to do next.
In the far distance among the group of clouds, two women shrouded in white mist standing in the air, looking at the scene calmly.
"It's not the right time for his awakening." The woman on the left side said. She pointed her finger at Yun Lintian, and a streak of golden light immediately shot out toward him.
Yun Lintian, who was struck by the golden light, seemed to lose all of his strength immediately and fell onto his knees. Despite that, he was unwilling to let Xia Yao go and used the little strength he had to hold her closer to his chest.
"She…" The woman on the right wanted to say something as she looked at Xia Yao in Yun Lintian's arms with a trace of pity.
"Fate is unpredictable. We cannot interfere with it." The woman on the left said softly.. She waved her hand, and the two of them immediately vanished from the spot.
