Chapter 1047: Chapter 67: The Birth of the Grim Reaper_5
Ah Dai nodded lightly, holding the portrait made of Ice’s ashes in front of him, "Of course I know what I’ll be up against. I have sworn in the presence of Ice that from now on, I, Ah Dai, will never again be a coward. Any person who embodies evil, I will surely take their life and soul. Brother Yan Shi, don’t stop me. You can’t stop me now. Wait here for my return. Believe me, no one can stop me now."
Feeling the icy killing intent emanating from Ah Dai, Yan Shi sighed softly, fully aware of the feelings in Ah Dai’s heart. When Yun Er died, wasn’t he even more frenzied than him? If he had been able to immediately find the murderer, he would have recklessly charged forward, even if the Sky God had stood in his way. Lifting his head, he looked at Ah Dai’s somewhat dazed expression and sighed, "Go then, brother. There are times when a man must do what he must. However, you still have many tasks left to complete. Promise me, for our sake, for the sake of your long-unseen teacher, and for Yue Yue, you must come back alive."
Ah Dai’s whole body trembled. Though he had been prepared to face certain death, Yan Shi’s words rekindled in him the desire to live. That’s right! I still have friends, there’s Teacher Goris, and Yue Yue, whom I’m unsure I can meet again. I cannot die; I still have to eliminate the evil forces in the world. He nodded solemnly, "Brother, don’t worry, I will definitely come back alive."
Yan Shi nodded and said, "Then go now. We’ll be waiting for your return right here. Don’t keep us waiting too long."
Ah Dai gently stroked the portrait of Ice, whispering, "Ice, let’s go. You must watch carefully, see how I will fulfill your wishes." As his voice fell, Ah Dai launched off the ground, rushing towards the direction of Dark City.
Watching Ah Dai’s retreating figure, Yan Shi murmured, "Brother, you must come back alive!" He also wanted to accompany Ah Dai, but he knew very well that his own strength had not yet recovered. Even if it had, if he had followed, he would only have slowed Ah Dai down. Ah Dai had the dragon’s protection and would surely return. The power displayed by Sheng Xie still caused him apprehension to this day. Little did he know that due to overstimulating his potential, Sheng Xie had entered into a deep slumber. Moreover, Ah Dai, in his determination to avenge Ice personally, had no intention of relying on the dragon’s power.
Ah Dai raced like lightning towards Dark City, the towering walls now in sight as night fell. The silent night sky was dotted with stars. The destroyed city gate had not been repaired; only about a dozen guards were vigilantly posted. Ah Dai had already discarded his tattered Mage Robe, revealing the Giant Spirit Snake full armor underneath. He carefully moved to a shadowy part of the city walls and, using the technique of firmness upon firmness qi to envelop his hands, he leaped seven meters high, silently inserting his hands into the wall. After surveying his surroundings cautiously, he applied force with his hands and lifted his body up another seven meters. In a few more bounds using the same method, Ah Dai floated up onto the battlements. Taking advantage of the gap between patrols, he cautiously passed over the wall and descended onto the city tower. His figure vanished into the shadows of the tower. A row of patrolling soldiers, torches in hand, hurried past, their faces etched with solemn expressions.
