Needing a good minute to stop from voiding his stomach of blood, Lei Yuting was there to help Zhuo Fan to his shaky feet. He was whiter than paper.
I thought hed never leave, ugh. Zhuo Fan grunted, only to cough again.
But you were winning! You couldve beaten him and finish this damn feud! Murong Xue shouted. It was no exaggeration to say that she wanted that monster dead more than anyone, not just because she pursued the greater good for humanity due to her beliefs and path. It was also due to the horrible torture she had been through.
Trying to push the path close together but not too close so they couldnt be separated has its drawbacks, as you can probably see. That goes double for trying it while doing while fighting to the death. Many times, I had Heavenly Sovereign pinned with a strong attack but, one path or another slipped out of the precarious balance and forced me to change my tactic. I had no choice but to weaken my attack at those times. Zhuo Fan continued, no longer masking his crumbling, which was not weaker than Heavenly Soveriegns. Fighting any longer would surely expose his state. It would have given the enemy the perfect chance to kill him, and the rest of them soon after.
Thats just absurd! Its ridiculous enough you could complete so many paths in just a little over half the year you were gone, then the two months before. Now, you are saying youre going to accomplish it at an even faster pace? On what grounds? Murong Xue wasnt finished, and the others looked skeptical. They were worried if it was even possible. There was a reason no new Sovereign appeared after millions of years since the old ones disappeared. Now, Zhuo Fan was suggesting he could do it over tea? That was lunacy!
Murong Xues glare was sharp and deadly as she held the calm Zhuo Fan in her sights, wishing she could strangle him. But a minute passed and the guy didnt so much as twitched.
She ended up grunting, and allowed him to do as he pleased. She soon went to the rest of the Sovereigns, at the side, who were discussing with Elder Song what he had been through during his event. She wanted to ask what exactly had been keeping him from joining the battle for so long?
A prismatic mote of light flew just then and entered Murong Xue. It flew in before she could ask anything. She shivered on the spot, relishing at having gotten her path back and how right it was to be with her.
She soon snapped out of the relief and asked Zhuo Fan, I thought you needed our paths to complete your own. Why give mine back so soon? Dont tell me you have already gotten the gist of it?
She let out a cold smile, thinking she was right, but Zhuo Fans answer only crushed her spirit.
I sure did. It was the easiest of them all since righteousness and demonic are just two sides of the same coin. Both paths seek to understand humanitys demons. They only differ in what they do with that knowledge. Righteousness does it for the greater good, to relieve people of persecution, while the demonic path is guiding them towards the users own goals. Zhuo Fan sagely said, leaving her gawking.
