The familiar voice reached Ji Fengyan's ears and she widened her eyes in disbelief at the demon that her sword had penetrated through.
This voice… belonged to Yang Shun!
Ji Fengyan stared straight at the demon that had fallen to the ground.
"Sorry… I could not… help…" A huge amount of blood spewed out from the demon's mouth. Probably because it was nearing death, the uncontrollable madness within its body had dissipated. Its eyes were no longer vicious and hideous, instead, it had the humility and helplessness that Ji Fengyan was familiar with.
"Yang… General Yang…" Ji Fengyan instantly sucked in a breath of cold air.
How did this happen?!
How could this demon be Yang Shun!
A conjecture hit Ji Fengyan and she instinctively wanted to remove the sword to check the demon's injuries.
But it used its own hands to hold on to the sword with all its might and did not give Ji Fengyan any chance to remove it.
"Save… save me… I don't want… to live like this…" Yang Shun's voice came from the demon's mouth.
By now, Ji Fengyan could almost be completely certain that the demon in front of her was Yang Shun!
"General Yang, what had exactly happened?!" Ji Fengyan's eyes were filled with shock. She had originally thought that Yang Shun was dead, but… never had she expected that Yang Shun had become… a demon.
It was impossible. While interacting with Yang Shun, she had discovered no demonic signs from him.
The demon did not speak anymore. Large amounts of blood continued to flow out from its wound and its breath became weaker. The demon's eyes were half closed weakly.
"Ji… General Ji… I'll leave… the Blaze Army… to you…"
When his broken voice ended, the demon used all his energy to press the sword deeper into its body!
Almost instantly, the last glimmer in its eyes faded. The body that was covered in wounds quickly became a pile of dust in front of Ji Fengyan.
Among the dust, there was a shining glow of the mark from the world-termination-armour appearing in front of Ji Fengyan's eyes.
Ji Fengyan had seen this mark on Yang Shun's body before…
Her hands that were holding onto the sword shivered slightly and she instinctively picked up that mark. The instant that it entered her hands, she only felt a burning sensation. It did not burn her palms but burnt her soul instead.
Using the torch, Linghe and the rest rushed to Ji Fengyan's side.
"General?" Linghe saw that Ji Fengyan was squatting on the ground. "Where is the demon?"
Linghe did not see the demon's corpse and only saw a pile of ashes.
Ji Fengyan's body suddenly froze. After a wave of silence, she quietly placed Yang Shun's mark in her Space Soul Jade and then stood up.
She did not turn back and only looked at the pile of ashes at her feet. Then, she said plainly, "it's dead."
"Dead?" Linghe was a little surprised.
Ji Fengyan's eyelids remained drooped and masked the sadness in her eyes.
"This… may be a form of relief to him. "
When Ji Fengyan said this, her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
She could not forget the look of ease in the last moment of the demon or Yang Shun's life.
How could this be?
How did a terminator turn into a demon?
