Chapter 928: Chapter 931: Fall
The Fla Sea Dragon’s massive body froze in midair.
Soon after, the heat radiating around it gradually dissipated.
In the next instant, the colossal figure plumted downwards.
This scene left the onlookers gasping for air.
The ferocious beast that had been sealed within the clan’s forbidden land was finally dead!
Yet, Xia Liu’s body remained motionless, the Flowing Fire Sword slipped from his grip and began falling toward the depths of the Secluded Valley.
Xia Liu, too, descended along with it.
“This is bad! Chief Xia is completely drained—he doesn’t have the strength to resist anymore!”
Watching Xia Liu fall continuously, Guo Po’s eyes widened in horror.
Just as he was about to leap forward, he was stopped by the barrier.
There was no way forward!
“Chief Xia!”
Guo Shi and Guo De shouted in unison.
“Damn it! The barrier is isolating even us!”
“Fanghua! Quickly take Little Man and retreat, let the elders break the barrier!”
Guo Xiao imdiately commanded.
At this mont, Guo Man was completely frozen, her scream stuck in her throat, her heart repeating his na a thousand tis, yet none of those screams reached her voice.
Supported by her mother as they retreated, her eyes, however, could not tear themselves away from the figure plumting downwards.
Ti seed to slow down, and in Guo Man’s vision, that figure appeared suspended in midair.
Boom!
Guo Po pointed toward the void, and a fierce beam shot out, only to be fully blocked by the barrier.
“Guo Shi, Guo De, Guo Xiao! Lend
your strength!”
Watching the rapidly falling figure, Guo Po roared.
“Understood!”
The three imdiately activated their Cultivation Technique, placing their palms on each other’s backs, eventually transferring their Inner Origin energy to Guo Po.
“Heaven and Earth Moving Wind!”
Receiving the imnse torrent of energy from his comrades, Guo Po imdiately perford the Heaven and Earth Moving Wind technique.
Energy surged and Gang Wind intensified.
The Heaven and Earth Moving Wind pierced through the barrier, blasting toward the far opposite side of the valley.
“It worked!”
The crowd erupted in joy.
At that mont, Guo Po seized the opportunity, pushing off with both feet, leaping into the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
But as soon as he leapt forward, a piercing howl echoed through the air.
Ahead of him, dense waves of black Gang Wind surged once more!
“Brother Guo Po, retreat quickly—that’s the ultimate Heaven and Earth Gang Wind!”
Guo Shi imdiately shouted.
Seeing the Heaven and Earth Gang Wind rising just a hundred ters ahead, Guo Po’s heart trembled fiercely.
With no other choice, he began inhaling breath and returned.
The Guo family mbers witnessed this mont of helplessness, each lowering their heads in despair.
The won present, unable to hold back their emotions, broke down in tears on the spot.
The young supre martial hero who had slain the monstrous dragon had fallen into the valley—
A talent cursed by the heavens!
Guo Man stared blankly into the distance.
She had just started to pray monts ago, but the faint glimr of hope that had risen within her was extinguished once again.
“So the barrier vanishes on its own; otherwise, the Gang Wind would not blow up from the valley’s depths.”
Guo De observed the situation ahead and imdiately deduced.
Earlier, when the Fla Sea Dragon was still alive, the Gang Wind had ceased, and the barrier appeared.
Now that the Fla Sea Dragon was dead, the barrier had disappeared, but the Gang Wind reverted to its original form.
With Guo Po’s level of cultivation, he couldn’t advance even two hundred ters.
Fate, oh fate!
“Sigh! Chief Xia was gifted and promising—a true talent that the heavens envied!”
Guo Po sighed endlessly, Xia Liu’s courage and righteousness, his spirit, his prowess, and his everything—none could match him, not his peers, not even himself.
Yet such an exceptional young hero had to et this fate.
If he were given a few more years, perhaps he could have led the Warrior Realm to new heights.
But Xia Liu’s demise was now the tragedy of the Warrior Realm, the tragedy of heaven and earth.
Fate, oh fate!
“Guo Gang, organize the arrangents. For the next three days and nights, we will conduct rituals here to honor Chief Xia.”
After a long mont of contemplation, Guo Po issued his order.
“Understood!”
Guo Gang, who had harbored significant hostility toward Xia Liu in the past, had long transford his view into admiration, now evolving into deep veneration.
Unfortunately, Xia Liu had fallen just like this.
“Guo Yan, imdiately gather people and head to Yanjing to inform the Heavenly Mansion about Chief Xia’s fall.”
“Senior Guo, I can assist with this matter.”
Duan Tiandao stepped forward and spoke.
Huaxia’s Heavenly Mansion and Harbor City’s Forbidden Martial Hall shared the sa roots; they often communicated with one another. Duan Tiandao could reach them faster than anyone else.
“Very well, thank you, Hall Master Duan.”
Guo Po nodded and replied, “Brothers, after three days of rituals, the three of us will visit Chief Xia’s hotown together…”
He hadn’t forgotten the instructions Xia Liu left before venturing into the forbidden land.
Once the rituals were complete, Guo Po would fulfill his promise.
“Ah…”
Guo Shi and Guo De sighed endlessly; Xia Liu’s fate weighed heavy and unbearable upon them.
They had once believed that the Innate Realm was the pinnacle of Martial Dao.
But now it was clear—the Innate Realm was likely just the starting point of the Martial Dao journey.
Long ago, the Guo family ancestor had displayed imnse power, suppressing and sealing the Fla Sea Dragon within the Secluded Valley.
A thousand years passed, draining the Fla Sea Dragon’s strength.
Even exhausted, now resurrected, it retained the power to destroy the world.
Yet themselves, Innate Warriors, were helpless.
After this ordeal, all three Innate Warriors understood—the Martial Dao was far-reaching.
And Xia Liu had shown them the truth.
In the presence of a truly formidable being, Innate power ant nothing.
“Little Man, say sothing! Don’t scare your mother like this!”
Looking at her daughter’s blank expression, Guo Fanghua panicked. She was nearly on the verge of breaking down.
Previously heartbroken by Xia Liu, Guo Man had starved herself, refusing food and drink. Now, seeing Xia Liu fall into the valley, her own daughter might not be able to endure this…
“Mother, I want to go find him. He still owes
so much…”
“Little Man, don’t say that! He doesn’t owe you anything anymore, nothing at all!”
Guo Fanghua’s emotions flared frantically.
If her daughter decided to follow Xia Liu in death, then all these years of her efforts—to raise and protect her—would be for nothing.
“No! He still owes
so, so much! Even on the Netherworld Path, I’ll make him explain!”
“He hasn’t compensated
yet—how can he just die like that? How can he just die like that!”
“He said he would repay ! He said it himself!”
“Until he does, I’ll never forgive him! Never!”
…
Guo Man seed possessed, mumbling to herself.
At the sa ti, she struggled to break free from her mother’s grasp, desperate to rush toward the cliff’s edge.
But how could Guo Fanghua allow her to let go?
Let go now, and today would only welco another tragedy.
“Waaah… Xia Liu, how could you die…”
Finally, Guo Man completely broke down, collapsing to the ground, burying her face in her knees.
“Little Man…”
Guo Fanghua’s eyes brimd with tears, her heart aching terribly.
Although she strongly disapproved of Xia Liu’s actions.
Now, as long as Xia Liu returned, she’d forget past grievances. She would wholeheartedly support him, so long as he loved her daughter.
The grief extended beyond Guo Man alone.
There were others who mourned even more deeply.
The cries and wails on site spread continuously, enveloping the entirety of the Guo family in an atmosphere of sorrow…
In the depths of the Secluded Valley, thick mist floated ominously—no living creatures existed here.
The surrounding rocks were entirely crimson, as though scorched by eternal flas across countless generations…
