The man wriggled his legs rapidly trying to free himself from the man's grip but Kareem's anger was now only increasing thinking about Lee and his grip was only getting stronger. He quickly held out the man's fang with his hand and stretched it out with extreme force making the man shriek in pain. Augus once again tried to free himself but his own fear was now making him very weak.
"Cut it Raol." The boy shouted looking at Raol and Raol came running towards them and swiped the knife with extreme force across the man's fang instantly cutting it into two pieces. As soon as the fang of the man was cut he wriggled in pain and his entire body started to get pale instantly. Kareem threw away the man far away from everybody as he was now releasing the venom at a great speed.
He nodded his head looking at Raol, as if telling him the work has been done. He constantly wanted to punch Augus, but he knew the man was now already on the verge of death. Everybody turned to look at Augus with satisfaction in their eyes. The man was constantly wriggling in pain and had now grown as pale as a ghost. In just a few more seconds he stopped moving and lied down lifeless. Kareem looked at his father's dead body and to his own surprise the hatred for the man had increased so much that all the love for him he felt earlier had vanished. He had felt a sense of satisfaction killing his own biological father.
Meanwhile....
Horus who was lying down on Rhehan's feet was now getting punched and kicked by him several times. "You think, I will kill you just like that? First you should feel the pain that my father suffered." He raised his arm, holding the sword in his hand and chopped off the man's other leg too. "How does it feel dad?" he spoke in an angry tone, tilted his had bit as more tears fell down from his eyes, thinking about Lee.
"ARGHHHHH!!!' the man shouted as both his legs had now been chopped.
Everybody who had just witnessed Augus' death was now witnessing Horus being killed mercilessly by an angry Rhehan. He then aimed for the man's arms and swiped the sword across it, making his arms cut into pieces.
"Arggghhhh!!" The man shouted again in extreme pain, looking with extreme fear in his eyes towards Rhehan.
"Let's get over with him brother." Kareem spoke in disgust looking at Horus.
Rhehan nodded his head in a 'yes' and then suddenly jumped upwards in the air, pointing his sword downwards. He then quickly jumped right on top of Horus, making the sword pierce his stomach too deep. He then twisted the sword several times inside the man's stomach and pulled it out instantly. Blood gushed out from his body and he let out a loud gasp and breathing his last breaths. Horus wriggled in pain and then instantly his head fell downwards and he finally died.
Suddenly several colourful rays emitted from the sword and flew up in the sky and busted into a beautiful firecracker in the dark sky, as if something evil has just vanished away and the spell has been broken.
"We need to get to the west woods." Lillian sniffed in sadness getting up on her feet. They were no longer happy about killing the two people they had dreaded all their lives, as Lee was no longer with them.
In the very next minute, Lillian was now riding on top of the imperial, lions rushing towards the woods, while everybody else followed them quickly with a disheartened and remorse mind. They all were now sobbing and crying and the entire atmosphere had now turned gloomy.
While Kareem was now quickly crawling his slimy body in the woods, Rhehan and Rose were running rapidly behind him. In the last were Stefen and Raol who were catching up to them as fast as possible. The more the distance they covered, the closer the shrieks and howling of the animals could be heard by them.
As soon as the female imperial lion halted at the entrance of the monastery, Lillian shrieked in despair, looking at Xio Lee's dead body lying on the table. With her shivering legs she walked up to the table and instantly fell on the ground, crying uncontrollably. She then immediately hugged Elizabeth and they both sobbed hugging each other.
Kareem, Rose and Rhehan too reached the monastery quickly and they immediately busted into tears looking at their master lying lifelessly on the table. Everyone was now constantly crying, including the old monk.
They all were remembering the beautiful days, when Lee was young and has stepped in the woods for the first time. He had instantly befriended all the animals and the animals too had a special connection with him. He had won the hearts of all the monks and was very determined to work hard and learn new things from the old monk.
"Lee Lee" Rhehan whispered wiping away his tears, kissing his master's forehead. "You are not dead. You will always be in our hearts thank you for always protecting us." Rhehan spoke in an anguish tone. Never in his mind would he have thought that he would be kissing Lee good bye at the same spot, where he had spent his most beautiful times with him. He looked at the cradle which was still placed at the corner of the garden which Lee had build with his own hands, for tiny Rhehan out of bamboo sticks
Rose had now hugged Elizabeth as they all stared at Xio Lee's body with teary eyes.
Kareem was still standing in one corner, with tears dropping down from his eyes. He did not even have the heart to come close to any of his family members. He stood on just one corner and stared blankly at Xio Lee's body. In just a few seconds Stefen and Raol too reached the spot and slowly walked up to the garden, crying their heart out.
Raol's eyes then fell on Kareem, who was standing aloof not even coming close to master's body. He walked up to Kareem quickly and patted his shoulder. As soon as Raol patted him, Kareem busted into tears and hugged him tightly. They both cried hugging each other for a very long time.
For once, there was a pin drop silence in the entire region, as everybody sat on the ground looking blankly the strongest yet the gentlest man they had ever known 'XIO LEE.'
He was the man who himself was very strong but also made sure that all his loved ones too remain strong and always trained and guided them according to that. The man was truly a noble legend...
