844: Chapter 844: The Final Entrustnt 844: Chapter 844: The Final Entrustnt At the critical mont, Jian Shen imdiately sent his ntor flying with a palm strike, saving Lu Bei’s life just in ti.
Had he delayed for a mont longer, Lu Bei’s neck might have been snapped.
Having been saved, Lu Bei was terrified.
Clutching at his neck and scrambling with hands and feet, he crawled to one side and then looked at his ntor as one would at a monster.
The ntor got up and bared his teeth nacingly at Jian Shen, no longer resembling a human, but rather a wild beast hunting its prey.
At this ti, Lin Xi walked over, chanting a spell as she moved.
She used the ditation Curse, which instantly brought the ntor back to his senses; his eyes returned to normal, and the ferocious expression on his face disappeared.
“What’s going on, what exactly happened to ?” The ntor, unable to accept what he had just done, then glanced at Lu Bei, still in a state of panic, and knew he wasn’t dreaming.
Jian Shen reassured him, “It’s alright, Master, nothing’s wrong now, I am here.”
“We should find a cave quickly, before the sun rises,” Lin Xi suggested with tily advice.
Jian Shen imdiately helped his ntor up, deeply concerned about what to do next, given the terror still evident in his ntor’s eyes.
They were in luck and soon found a cave.
Jian Shen, Lin Xi, Lu Bei, and the ntor quickly took refuge inside, mainly worried about the effect the sunlight would have on the ntor once it arose.
The ntor sat in a corner, motionless and forbidding anyone to co near, unable to accept what he had beco.
Jian Shen wanted to say sothing comforting but was stopped by Lin Xi, who indicated that no words would help now, only the ntor himself could recover from this.
Seeing the ntor’s face age so rapidly and witnessing his inner turmoil filled Jian Shen with pain.
He knew his ntor best, an exceedingly upright and righteous person who abhorred evil.
Seeing his ntor in this state, Jian Shen’s heart was far from at ease.
Jian Shen pulled Lin Xi aside and asked softly, “What can be done, Qian Ye?
Do you have a way to turn my master back to normal?”
Lin Xi shook her head, “I’m sorry, vampires originate from the West, and I know very little about them.
I can’t help your master.”
“Then is there any way to suppress my master’s thirst for blood?” Jian Shen asked, holding onto the last glimr of hope, but Lin Xi still shook her head.
The ditation Curse could only work temporarily.
Overcoming the bloodlust would depend on the ntor’s own willpower.
After hearing this, Jian Shen looked back and saw the ntor sitting in the corner, his body trembling, his face tight with strain as he seed to be fiercely resisting sothing; and Lu Bei, noticing sothing was wrong, instinctively moved away from the ntor.
“What should we do?
Why don’t we leave the uncle-master here and co back for him once we figure out a solution?” Lu Bei was truly scared and thus made this disgraceful suggestion.
Jian Shen did not bla Lu Bei because he too had just narrowly escaped death; it was natural for him to be afraid and want to flee.
Lin Xi said, “If we go, there’ll be no one to stop him.
He needs help more than ever right now, so we can’t just abandon him here.”
“Yes, that’s right,” Jian Shen said, gratified because the statent should have co from him, yet it was Qian Ye who spoke those words, making him feel increasingly that she was the woman he had once deeply loved.
“Alright, if you won’t leave, then I can’t abandon loyalty,” Lu Bei showed a troubled expression but decided to stay nonetheless.
Jian Shen was grateful to Lu Bei.
He knew that it was Lu Bei who risked his life to save his ntor during the battle with the Devil Incarnate.
Late at night, the four people rested in the cave.
With Jian Shen’s reactionary abilities, even asleep, he could still be aware of everything happening around him.
Therefore, they didn’t need to worry about their ntor suddenly going berserk, allowing everyone to rest assured and close their eyes to rest.
The next day, as the sun rose, Jian Shen and Lin Xi almost simultaneously opened their eyes and found their ntor already standing at the cave entrance, supporting himself on the stone walls.
He stared blankly at the outside sunlight, his eyes sowhat vacant, lost in thought.
Jian Shen and Lin Xi were sowhat worried and walked over.
“You have awakened.
I didn’t want to disturb you, so I didn’t greet you,” the ntor said, his lips curling into a bitter smile.
Jian Shen took a step closer, “Master, don’t worry, I will figure sothing out.”
The ntor shook his head with a sigh: “There’s no way.
These past few days, I have personally seen the Devil Incarnate unable to control his bloodthirst, frantically devouring human flesh.
I don’t want to beco like that.”
Lin Xi added, “Senior, this isn’t your fault.
It was those harmful aspects of you that did it.
The Devil Incarnate chose to beco like that on his own, but you didn’t.”
Upon hearing this, the ntor smiled appreciatively: “You are Qian Ye, right?
Thank you for last night.
You didn’t let commit an unforgivable mistake.
Also, I owe you an apology.
I shouldn’t have been prejudiced against you.
You are not so demoness, but a good person.
My disciple wasn’t wrong about you.
It’s just that the timing of your being together was unfortunate.
I shouldn’t have judged you based on rumors.
I was wrong.”
“It’s okay, senior, I’m used to it.” Lin Xi smiled and then glanced at Jian Shen.
Both felt that there was sothing off about their ntor’s tone.
“Jian Shen, I have a request for you.
Please, you must stop the Devil Incarnate.
If he succeeds, not just the Martial Arts world but the whole world will never have peace.
You are the only one who can stop him,” the ntor pleaded, placing all his hopes on Jian Shen.
This put Jian Shen in a difficult position, for he no longer wished to be involved in the feuds of the Martial Arts world but wanted to live a peaceful life with his beloved.
“I know, you are now an enemy of Martial Arts, despised by people in Martial Arts.
Asking you to repay evil with kindness to help Martial Arts is truly unfair to you.
But aside from you, who else can?” Having said this, the ntor stepped forward out of the cave and into the sunlight.
“Master!” Jian Shen wanted to stop him, but his ntor turned and smiled in the sunlight, allowing the flas to consu him.
It was too hot; Jian Shen couldn’t approach, his heart in turmoil.
“Jian Shen, you know best what kind of person I am.
Only by this ans can I be set free,” the ntor smiled with acceptance: “I am glad to have you by my side at my last mont, letting know that the disciple I took pride in has returned.”
“Promise , you must stop the Devil Incarnate, stop those Westerners.
You absolutely cannot let them disturb our holand.
This is no longer about personal grievances but about righteousness, just as I taught you since you were young.” The flas on the ntor grew fiercer, irreversible, and in his final smile, he completely turned to ash.
Jian Shen couldn’t bear to watch any longer, closed his eyes in grief, clenched his fist, and stood silent in his spot.
