531 Coup de Grace
“You shouldn’t even be having this idea. Even if I’m dead, you should keep going,” Himl Soan said seriously.
Seeing that Firey wanted to retort, he knew she didn’t agree with her. His tone softened. “If a person is rembered after they’re dead, their life would an sothing. Otherwise, they’re completely gone.
“It’s the sa with . When I’m dead, you’re there to rember . You’re the proof of my existence. If you’re dead, no one would know I’ve ever been here.”
The speech was too profound for Firey to understand. She couldn’t fathom philosophical theories.
“Just rember. Even if I’m dead, you must live on. Or else, I’ll never rest in peace.
“That’s not all. Do you rember what I told you about dignity? You shouldn’t be kneeling before anyone, yet you begged him on your knees because you wanted to die. I feel so ashad of you.”
Himl Soan couldn’t bring himself to be angry at Firey. He doted on her and couldn’t even raise his voice. However, what happened today was too important.
He never thought Firey would want to kill herself when he was dead. He must get that idea out of her head, or he would always be worried about her.
“Master, I…”
“I know what you an. Just promise to look after yourself. Trust . I won’t die that easily.” Himl Soan rubbed her head.
“I get it!” Firey nodded.
Himl Soan didn’t know if she really ant that. He was confident about everything but this. Firey was very difficult to persuade.
“The trial isn’t over yet!” said the fire guardian.
He didn’t want to ruin this touching mont, but rules were rules. He couldn’t change them.
To a guardian, the rules were like Himl Soan’s words to Firey. They held the highest authority that he couldn’t defy.
“Let’s continue.” Himl Soan nodded at the fire guardian, feeling grateful.
If it hadn’t been for the fire guardian, he would be looking at Firey’s dead body now.
“Alright! Here cos the third blow!” The fire guardian imdiately used the sa stance.
It was his most powerful move. He also activated his flas.
The water and wood guardians cursed inwardly. As soon as the flas spread out, the adow was on fire while steam rose out of the river.
Why can’t he fight in the air? Don’t ruin my territory! The two guardians complained in their minds but didn’t say anything.
“Break!” Himl Soan only said one word.
What happened next shocked the fire guardian. Himl Soan was unaffected by the flas. Not only that, but the saber also had minimal effect.
He dodged the strike and attacked the fire guardian with the divine dagger.
The fire guardian imdiately ford a shield with his fire, but it wasn’t working. He realized it when the dagger touched the shield.
Himl Soan almost looked like a different person. The dagger penetrated the fire shield and stabbed the fire guardian in the chest.
“I won!”
Himl Soan retrieved the dagger and announced in a confident voice.
The battle ended almost imdiately after it started. Himl Soan crushed the fire guardian.
“How did that happen?!” The fire guardian couldn’t believe it.
He and Himl Soan were at the sa cultivation level. Even if Himl Soan was a genius, he shouldn’t have won that easily.
However, he had defeated the fire guardian with a single strike. Everything happened so smoothly.
“I can’t believe my eyes!”
“That’s impossible! The five of us should be able to defeat anybody of the sa cultivation level. Even if our opponent has the sa ability, the battle should be dragged on. The side that can notice the details would erge as the winner. How did this man win so easily?”
“I’ve fought him before. He shouldn’t have the ability to defeat us like that. His cultivation level should be slightly inferior to ours.”
Both the water and wood guardians were astonished.
“Halt!”
They heard Leela’s voice. Firey, Himl Soan, and the three guardians all looked up. That was where Leela’s voice ca from. They weren’t visible themself.
“Firey, you can’t stay by Himl Soan’s side anymore,” said Leela.
Firey’s face darkened.
“Why?” She wouldn’t have it. She wouldn’t leave just because Leela told her to do so.
“You’re affecting the fairness of this test.
“Because of you, the fire guardian didn’t kill Himl Soan when he had the chance. As a result, Himl Soan had an opportunity to regain his strength and get used to the flas. He beca resistant to the fire, and the fire guardian couldn’t affect him. That’s why Himl Soan passed the trial,” Leela explained to the three guardians.
Yes, Himl Soan defeated the fire guardian so easily because he could resist the fire. Since neither Inferno nor the saber could harm him, he could withstand the fire guardian and defeat him.
That wasn’t fair.
Leela was here to make sure the tests were fair and square. To avoid such incidents, it had to take Firey away for the ti being.
“Do you have any proof? My master won because he’s powerful!” Firey retorted. To her, Himl Soan was invincible.
