She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 405 - 404: Divine Church of Light, Supreme Freedom

Chapter 405: Chapter 404: Divine Church of Light, Supreme Freedom

The two were fighting fiercely, and the battle had already reached a white-hot stage. Both parties struck swiftly, their palms clashed, and their internal force violently dispersed in all directions, causing those nearby to be affected and violently thrown outward. Seeing that the situation was not favorable, Hongzhao immediately pulled her elder sister behind her to shield her from the impact.

In just an instant, a cloud of dust filled the air, making it impossible to open one’s eyes.

Hongzhao raised her hand to shield her eyes, her temples’ hair blowing chaotically.

Amidst the dusty air, Xiao Pingfeng stood alone atop the unicorn statue, his gaze coldly fixed on Song Huaxu, who had retreated three steps.

"If the National Master knows what’s good for him, I will show mercy and allow you to keep your entire body."

Blood slowly oozed from the corner of Song Huaxu’s lips. He raised the back of his hand to wipe it away, holding his chest with his other hand.

At this moment, his internal organs churned, evidently aggravated by injuries from this battle.

"Crown Prince truly is a dragon among men. Even in my youth, I was not as skilled as you are at this age. Indeed, the new wave overtakes the old."

"National Master, you better hurry up, after all, the sooner you die, the sooner you’ll be at peace." Xiao Pingfeng, holding his sword, skillfully twisted a flourish and charged towards Song Huaxu again. This time his assault was ferocious, the two men fighting from in front of the palace all the way to the cliff, as the onlookers quickly followed to watch.

Just as Song Huaxu was stabbed in the shoulder by Xiao Pingfeng’s sword, then slammed against the rock, the disciples couldn’t help but sigh.

The faith in the Sect Hierarch wavered in this moment.

"Stop!" Just as the sword was about to strike, a sharp female voice suddenly shouted.

It was Song Ning (Shen Shuyun)!

She struggled to move her wheelchair from a distance, coming right up to Song Huaxu, then directly climbed down from the wheelchair.

"Stop! Don’t you dare harm him!" She spread her arms in front of Song Huaxu.

Xiao Pingfeng coldly sheathed his sword.

Song Huaxu placed his hand on her shoulder: "Song Ning, go quickly!"

"I won’t go!" She turned and threw herself into Song Huaxu’s arms, holding him tightly. "I won’t leave."

"How could I possibly leave you behind..." Her eyes brimmed with hot tears.

Song Huaxu’s heart softened: "I never thought that at the last moment, the person who’d stay steadfastly by my side would be you."

"...Hmm?" Shen Shuyun was uneasy and confused by his words.

Song Huaxu, holding his chest, sat up straight and coughed lightly, each cough bringing out fresh blood. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"At this point, there’s nothing I need to hide." Song Huaxu forced a smile: "More than twenty years ago, you showed kindness to a poor Taoist like me. I thought it was just a fleeting moment, yet it turned into a demon in my heart, a bottleneck in my path of cultivation... Song Ning..."

He reached out and caressed her cheek.

Shen Shuyun, struggling not to step back, clenched the sharp pin hidden in her sleeve tightly.

"You are a mere obsession... In my defiance of the Heavenly Dao to revive you, I only reaped evil consequences, now at the end of my strength, it’s just unfortunate that Shen Shuyun has been burned to death. I prepared a body for you for so long, but it ended up being useless... cough, cough!"

Song Huaxu coughed violently.

"...over the years I traveled across many countries, preparing many women who looked like you, but they all had flaws one way or another. In the end, only Fu Mingyue and Shen Shuyun were left... Why am I telling you all of this at this point? Song Ning... I just ask if you are willing to accompany me on my final journey?"

Now that the disciples have all been suppressed by bandits, the once glorious Divine Church of Light was left with only the Sect Hierarch, who was still distracted by romantic feelings.

Would you be willing to accompany him on his final journey?

"Hehe..." the woman resting on his shoulder chuckled softly, and under the rigid body of Song Huaxu, Shen Shuyun straightened up, her eyes piercing as she stared at him, "Song Huaxu, what do you think you are, and why should I accompany you to death?"

As her words fell, the hairpin that had been poised for action had already pierced Song Huaxu’s chest.

In his disbelieving gaze.

Shen Shuyun ruthlessly pushed the hairpin deeper.

"You planned everything just to resurrect someone who had been dead for over twenty years, Song Huaxu, you deserve to die even more than Song Ning!" Shen Shuyun’s eyes were bloodshot as her hands trembled uncontrollably from exertion.

By then, Song Huaxu had understood.

"You are Shen Shuyun..." What about Song Ning?

Could it be that the charred body was actually Song Ning?

"Your beloved treasure Song Ning has already been thrown into the Koi Pond; do you remember now, Master? Hahaha!" Shen Shuyun laughed madly, tears streaming down her face, her hands covered in Song Huaxu’s fresh blood. The feeling of avenging her foe was immensely gratifying at that moment.

Even if she were to die the next second, it would be worth it!

"Don’t think I don’t know, during that battle at Governor’s Office Pass, the role you played, if not for you, my grandfather wouldn’t have died, and neither would the Duke nor the people of Governor’s Office Pass. You used the lives of the entire city as a blood sacrifice for the evil technique to resurrect Song Ning!"

She finally had the chance to reveal this great secret.

Shen Shuyun could no longer hold back.

Everyone was shocked.

"All the evidence is in that secret room in Song Huaxu’s house, containing all the sins he committed these years. Not just the people from Governor’s Office Pass died in vain, but also from the wars in various countries. Every outbreak of war resulted in a blood sacrifice from Earth City. The prime culprit behind all these disasters is the man right in front of you!"

"You can check for yourselves!"

"Every word I, Shen Shuyun, have spoken is true, there’s not a single lie... To avenge my grandfather, I pretended to have lost my memory and was brought back by him, enduring the inhuman tortures he inflicted upon me, finally leading to this day!"

"Song Huaxu, go to hell!" As Shen Shuyun cried out, she fiercely pulled out the hairpin and with a surge of blood, she raised the hairpin and violently stabbed towards Song Huaxu’s throat again, determined to kill him!

Yet at that moment, Song Huaxu was already prepared; he remorselessly hit Shen Shuyun in the abdomen, causing her to fly out like a broken string and fall heavily to the ground, spitting a mouthful of blood before fainting.

All of this had happened too quickly.

Yan Lingzhen rushed over in a hurry, "Sister Shen!"

She stepped forward to feel the pulse and the moment she felt it beating, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Atop the cliff, Song Huaxu, dragging his wounded body, weakly leaned against a perilous rock, watching the crowd before him.

Xiao Pingfeng, Yan Wanqing, Yan Hongzhao, and this entire band of mountain bandits, or rather, each had their dealings with him. He saw the thick red mist that spread from them and gathered towards him.

"Hahahaha——"

Song Huaxu laughed heartily, propping himself up from the ground.

His once pristine white garments were now drenched with fresh blood, his immortal-like aura gone, looking now like a decrepit old man. His silvery hair was blown messy by the mountain winds, his originally handsome face somehow covered with wrinkles, though his eyes still shone brilliantly.

"Blinded by a single leaf, Xiao Pingfeng, Yan Wanqing, fate has its justice. Even though I die without regrets, at this moment our Divine Church of Light will attain supreme freedom..."

He spread his arms, and in everyone’s gaze, fell backward toward the vast cliff...
