Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

But there is no record that dependents would share pain with their master. Does Mr. He have a connection that goes beyond that with the monster?

Could it be that if this evil thing dies, Mr. He will also die?

You Su observed for a while longer, increasingly feeling this hypothesis was very likely!

Just then, another fierce Sword Qi attack came!

Its shape was impossible to catch by the naked eye, yet the shadow swiftly swept across the ground!

Under the sword move of the Void Realm Venerable, You Su couldn’t even react; he only knew he was about to die!

But the sword move didn’t land on him, instead, it was firmly intercepted by that non-human monster.

The sword pierced straight through the non-human monster’s right abdomen, causing He Kongyue, who was curled up, to clutch his right abdomen and howl in pain.

You Su furiously punched the ground, his eyes opened, his black pupils deep, with a green halo.

At this moment, it no longer mattered which of the two ’Mr. Chengying’ was real or fake.

The one attacking us is the fake!

The one protecting us is the real!

You Su originally wanted to stay out of it and take He Kongyue away quickly, but the Female Sword Immortal was clearly not willing to let them go.

He drew the Mo Song Sword and stood in front of He Kongyue, his aura suddenly rising, as if black mist was swirling around him.

He Kongyue watched his back in a daze, struggling to reach out for him, but was completely unable to move.

You Su felt as if he had returned to the time in Chuyun City, when Mr. Qi led Wu Cheng and Wu Ping to surround the outside of the Mandarin Duck Sword Sect, chanting slogans to slay the evil, just like this unparalleled Female Sword Immortal.

And he was like this moment, forced to stand against the justice in the eyes of the world in order to protect someone.

It seemed like his fate, deemed the savior to eradicate evil, yet always having to fight alongside the evil spirit.

But he didn’t feel he was wrong, otherwise he wouldn’t make the same decision. This may be the blind man’s stubbornness, he cannot see the world’s complex right and wrong, so everything follows his heart.

"Indeed a demon’s disciple! Truly birds of a feather!"

The Female Sword Immortal hovered in the air, her pressure fully unleashed, the clouds above churning, hidden thunder rumbling.

You Su stood beneath her, like an ant powerless before a storm.

But someone stood in front of him, shielding him from all the pressure. The non-human demon raised the broad sword high, like an aged sect leader fighting with all to protect disciples.

"Foolishly obstinate!"

The Female Sword Immortal snorted coldly, in an instant, the fierce wind swept the world.

Amidst flickering tree shadows, the Female Sword Immortal suddenly disappeared, seemingly hiding in the omnipresent shadows.

"I won’t let you destroy my sect again!"

The monster roared angrily at the sky, lightning flashed, thunder roared, cold rain poured down.

The air swirling atop the mountain felt less like the chilling air of Beiao Continent, more like the sorrow accumulated over millennia by Mr. Chengying, now transformed into substantial rain, pouring down.

You Su could no longer see the battle with the naked eye; he could only feel the raging rain and wind cutting like knives against his body and face.

Only now did he realize his anger as a mere mortal, before the Void Realm Venerable amounted to just anger.

"You... Su..." He Kongyue murmured softly.

You Su quickly turned back to look, "Mr. He! Are you feeling better?"

"Her..."

He Kongyue’s lips moved, "all..."

You Su knew He Kongyue must have discovered something, hurriedly leaned down and put his ear close to He Kongyue’s lips to hear more clearly.

"All... real..."

They are all real?!

You Su froze in place, completely unable to believe what he heard.

When he saw both the person and the evil creature claim to be Mr. Chengying and were irreconcilable, he, like everyone else, subconsciously regarded them as one real and one fake.

He only then remembered, no matter their guise as human or monster, it didn’t change the fact they were all evil spirits.

You Su suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility...

They are both real, yet both claim it was the other who slaughtered everyone of their sect...

Doesn’t that mean the one who exterminated all of the Shadow-Bearing Sword Sect...

Was Mr. Chengying herself?!

An unknown liquid splashed onto his face, interrupting his thoughts—

It was the blood spat out by He Kongyue.

Then came a cloud and stone-splitting bang.

You Su quickly turned to look, astonishingly a non-human monster with only half its body remained like a meteor crashing to the ground, sliding a hundred meters among the rocks before stopping, conveniently next to him and He Kongyue.

What followed was a broken sword half-buried in the soil.

This was the broad sword in Huo Yuandi’s hand, now cut into two along with the monster.

This battle of sweeping intensity has already determined a victor.

"You... must run..."

The monster’s face was hideous, but its tone was gentle.

She looked at You Su and He Kongyue lovingly, with eyes full of guilt and remorse.

"You won’t escape; you slaughtered my whole sect, nor will I spare your disciples."

The Female Sword Immortal’s Chunchan Sword shone brightly, she stood in the sky, arrogantly overlooking the ants on the ground.

Rain dropped down, flowing from the monster’s eye corners to the ground, confusing whether it’s rain or tears she shed.

"I’m sorry... I’m sorry..."

In her final moment, the monster constantly apologized to You Su and He Kongyue.

"As the master, I still failed to protect you... I’m guilty of a thousand deaths... I’m guilty of a thousand deaths!"

You Su saw it, surprisingly empathizing with the feeling of helplessness.

"Why don’t you use the Shadow-Bearing Sword?"
