Chapter Twenty-Five: Bitter Love

  "Remember me in hell!"

  Hu Qian Shu let out a loud roar and threw down the pair of Flowing Star Hammers in his hands. A pair of giant, crimson palms, each as large as a Pu fan, shot towards Lei Bing Tian. Lei Bing Tian's heart was already shattered, but he forced himself to harden his skin and take the blow. However, he was still blasted off more than ten feet away, looking disheveled and pale-faced. He cried out in shock: "How is this possible...this..."

  Huojian Tree let out another loud roar, his entire body was already in tatters, covered in blood, wounds upon wounds, too many to count. But this giant of a man, now charged into the allied forces of Tianyi Gang and the Pang family, just like a ferocious wolf charging into a flock of sheep, with each punch and kick, there were bound to be casualties, sometimes with just one move, he could knock down three or four people at once.

  He is now a war god descending from the sky, and with just a snap of his fingers, the entire person has been splashed with blood again, and he shouted at Liu Suoyun: "Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Zhuan Shen Lu!"

  Liu Suiyun had just caught his breath, and the Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging God Record he cultivated was originally a quick success method that absorbed the opponent's energy, blood, soul, and spirit to supply himself. Of course, he didn't want to miss this opportunity. He saw him put his index finger to his mouth, lightly biting it, then taking a deep breath before pointing at the pile of corpses behind Huo Qianshu and shouting: "Behead!"

  Behind him, the pile of corpses that had been ravaged by wolves included fierce beasts like Lava Bears and Cyan Striped Water Tigers, as well as extremely powerful cultivators and warriors. There were even several skilled fighters who had suffered severe injuries, with countless spirits and souls lost. Now, with just one point, a deep purple mist immediately enveloped the pile of corpses.

  In the thick, deep purple fog, nothing could be seen, only the sound of "hissing" burning sounds could be heard, and several seriously injured people's earth-shaking screams also came through. The entire fog was filled with a bloody color. Suddenly, Pang's good hand sucked in a breath of cold air: "That's right, this is the Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging Divine Record! This is Yun Peng Shangren's Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging Divine Record!"

  Many people had already given up, and now they were even more devoid of fighting spirit, turning around to flee. Huo Qian Shu was like entering a no-man's land, killing with reckless abandon, blood and flesh flying everywhere. Lei Bing Tian's blood surged, knowing something was amiss, just thinking of leaving, but seeing Huo Qian Shu take one step forward, directly grabbing his left hand, the force was astonishing, directly lifting him into the air like a windmill, swinging him around with a casual palm strike and tossing him into the purple mist set up by Liu Sui Yun.

  He can be said to be the strongest among this group of warriors. As soon as his body fell into the purple mist, a ball of blood and fire suddenly rose up. Liu Suoyun's cheeks instantly became as rosy as peach blossoms, and also became somewhat enchanting. Liu Suoyun was not surprised but delighted instead. The Heavenly Tears Starfall Sword swung with force, and a ball of yellow light had already been absorbed into the sword from the purple mist.

  Then he grasped his sword and swung it, instantly bursting open a cluster of purple mist. After a flash of golden light, only a dehydrated black corpse remained on the ground. Liu Suoyun took another deep breath before putting away the Tianlei Starfall Sword.

  This battle was a boundless benefit for him, fortunately, there was Huo Qian Shu's incredible explosion at the end, otherwise Liu Sui Yun thought he would be surrounded and attacked to death.

  In front of them was a broad path where Hosenka had fought his way out, and no enemy could be seen. Hosenka let out a loud cry: "Let's go!"

  Liu followed the cloud naturally and didn't stand on ceremony. The whole person was like a spiritual monkey, carrying Gu Yinghua on his back and running: "Let's go!"

  He knew a small path he had personally explored, which could shake off the pursuers of the Pang family and the Tianyi gang for at least half a day's journey. However, just as he ran out dozens of steps, he felt Gu Yinghua tightly wrapped around his neck, even making his breathing somewhat difficult.

  He could even feel Gu Yinghua's falling tears, what happened?

  But he couldn't stop, the path that Huo Qianshu had fought to clear was fleeting, and he didn't even have time to ask Gu Yinghua, he could only feel Gu Yinghua quietly sobbing on his back, tightly embracing Liu Suizhen - this was completely unintentional, but she held him very tightly.

  They have arrived at the designated breakout point! Gu Yinghua's tears fell again, and Liu Suizhen turned back to see Huo Qianshu, but was frightened by a big jump!

  Huojian Tree was originally a tall and powerful iron man, after displaying the Broken Army Like Yang Gong, he was even more astonishingly tall, and could be mentioned in the same breath as the fierce fire bear. However, at this moment, his blood-soaked body was actually a whole head shorter than Liu Suizhen's, with faint white flames flickering all over his body.

  Liu Su Yun glanced at him and knew that this was a manifestation of internal fire burning outwardly. Huo Qian Shu had reached the end of his life, and his body's yin fire had almost solidified to the point where it would soon burn his flesh and blood clean, leaving nothing behind. At this stage, even if he were a Golden Elixir cultivator or a Three Flowers martial artist, it was unlikely that they could save Huo Qian Shu's life.

  Gu Yinghua's tears fell again, he tightly hugged Liu Suoyun's neck and sobbed: "Hu Shu, Hu Shu, you shouldn't be so desperate, I'd rather fall into the hands of the Pang family than see you like this!"

  Huojian Shu smiled and ignored Gu Yinghua. He grasped Liu Suoyun's hand, and for the first time, Liu felt such warmth from this iron man.

  His smile was so gentle, his expression so calm and composed, he smiled and said: "Liu Gongzi, I'm sorry, at the time of Huo Qianshu's death, I can only entrust my family's eldest sister to you! Please take good care of her, thank you, she is just a girl who has suffered too much!"

  He didn't say much, but seeing his clear eyes and gentle tone, how could Liu Suizhen refuse the last wish of this iron man? He grasped Huo Qianshu's hand: "Don't worry! Even if I die, I will take good care of Miss Gu's everything, first for..."

  He organized his excuse: "Miss Gu promised me a daily wage of 1,000 yuan!"

  "Secondly, Miss Gu and Huo Ge gave me many lives!"

  "Third..." Liu Suiyun's tone slowed down, his voice becoming more emotional: "For the woman I love the most..."

  "I must take good care of Miss Gu, and send her to Yuanzhou without any harm, even if it costs my life, I will not regret it!"

  At this time, saying this sentence seems to be not very timely, but Gu Yinghua still hugged Liu Suoyun's neck tightly and shouted loudly: "Huojie! Huojie! Huojie......"

  Such a call could not recall the fleeting life of Huo Qianshu, and the white flame on his body burned more and more fiercely, even withdrawing his own thick palms. Liu Suoyun could feel the increasingly scorching sensation.

  Willow followed the cloud and naturally understood that his incredible outburst was fueled by life, but ultimately burned everything to ashes. However, Huo Qianshu seemed to feel no such scorching pain, turning his suffering into momentum as he quickly ran up the mountain path with Willow, feeling the last lingering attachment in life: "Good! Willow, you're indeed a good man!"

  As he spoke, there was endless warmth, Liu Suiyun felt once again that this iron-like man actually had a delicate heart. Gu Yinghua had stopped her tears and asked Huo Qianshu, who was already surrounded by white light: "Uncle Huo, thank you, is there anything else you want to entrust me with? I..."

  "I'd die before I let you down!" Gu Yinghua had already gotten off Liu Suoyun's back and was now only a step away from Huo Qianshu. His left hand even reached out to touch Huo Qianshu, who was surrounded by white flames and spiritual light, but Huo Qianshu carefully took a step back to avoid hurting Gu Yinghua.

  Huojian Shu's entire body, except for his face, was almost enveloped in white light. Upon hearing this, he smiled slightly: "Big sister, your safety is my greatest wish, follow Qingyun and rush out safely!"

  Liu Suiyun could see that Huo Qianshu's smile hid an astonishing pain, and the explosive magic he had just unleashed was even more overbearing than the "Tianmo Jieti Dafa". Now, with the dark fire burning his body, it was unknown what kind of pain and struggle he was experiencing. Just thinking about this made Liu Suiyun involuntarily shed two lines of tears.

  Gu Yinghua's tears couldn't stop falling, Huo Qianshu looked at him gently and suddenly said: "Forget it, forget it, at this time still hiding what, big sister, I like a person, although I don't want to let her know, but this unrequited love, at least can exist in your memories!"

  Gu Yinghua wiped away her tears, biting her lip as she said: "Fire Uncle, I know, I've always known. You liked my mother, that's why you're so concerned about me and take care of me. I'll tell her about this in front of her grave! She'll know your true feelings!"

  Huojian Shu suddenly shook his head and said: "No, no, I just treat your mother as a younger sister. The person in my heart is not her!"

  Gu Yinghua was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that Huoshu likes Er Gu? I remember!"

  Huochi Shu nodded again and said calmly: "I have never liked your second aunt, really not, not even a hint of liking!"

  Gu Yinghua apparently didn't understand, and she said incredulously: "Huojie, could it be that I... I have never had such thoughts..."

  She felt her heart in a mess, with countless worries surging up to her mind, yet she elegantly stretched out a pair of slender hands, and even if she was surrounded by dark flames, she didn't flinch at all.

  But Huo Qianshu laughed: "Young lady, you're thinking too much. I'm indeed more concerned about you because of her, but I've never fallen in love with you!"

  Gu Yinghua suddenly felt puzzled and asked: "Is it Chun's sister or Shuang's sister?"

  Huojian Shu was delighted to see Gu Yinghua make another mistake: "None of them, none of them... That's why I said it, at least this unrequited love of mine can remain in your and Liu Qingyun's memories!"

  "Go on!" Gu Yinghua really couldn't guess: "Not Aunt An? I really can't think of who it is."

  "The one I love is your brother!"

  Liu Suiyun already knew that Huo Qianshu's innermost thoughts were more delicate and gentle than those of a woman, but at this moment, Huo Qianshu was clearly a man, yet he didn't know how many affectionate women he surpassed. His voice was quietly conveying his emotions: "I really like your brother!"

  "The one I love is Gu Shanhe, that Gu Shanhe who captivated the city with just one glance. I really can't forget your brother's captivating gaze back then!"

  This is Huo Qianhu's final moment in the mortal world!
