Chapter 1073 "Elder Jun's Death (2)"
“Humph!” The lady's words sounded very unsavory to the man's ear as he huffed a grunt. Waving his men from behind to move forward: "What are you all still standing around for? Go tie this girl up!"
“Yes, Milord!” Arching their fist, the crowd immediately drew their weapons and rushed over to surround the pair.
Elder Jun's expression had changed to a whiter shade already upon reading the situation. Quickly pus.h.i.+ng his mistress behind himself, the senior stands ready in a protective stance: "Miss, go!"
“Elder Jun!” Biting her own lip, Liu Qing Yu knows what her faithful subordinate meant by that holler.
Ever since her mother pa.s.sed away, this old man has been her only family in this world, and now she must abandon him and flee on her own!
“Miss, quickly leave! Don't forget you must still avenge the madam!" Finding there's no movement behind himself, Elder Jun cries out for the second time to urge the lady's departure.
Slightly trembling with her body, tears finally poured out of the woman's tear duct when she realized for the first time how big and broad that old senior's back truly was. Never in her life did Liu Qing Yu feel so helpless and ashamed than now when she turned to run.
“Want to go?” He Fei Xiang sneered and pounced with his full might in pursuit.
However…..
Right as he's about to make contact, a powerful surge of power suddenly explodes out of Elder Jun's body and created an invisible wall around the area, blocking everyone from leaving.
“None of you are allowed to touch the lady as long as I'm here today!"
That year it was the madam who saved him from a lethal injury, and it was from that day he swore to forever serve that amazing female. Now that the madam was dead, it's natural that his vow would fall onto the lady. Regardless of his own fate, he must uphold his own oath and protect the madam's blood!
Standing with stoic posture, Elder Jun becomes engulfed in a blazing flame that seems to be fueled by the air itself.
“Are you mad?" He Fei Xiang goes pale from the sight: "You're burning your own soul to forcibly enhance your strength, is that really worth it?"
“For the sake of the lady, everything is worth it.” The senior's tone was as firm as ever. He's unshakable and unyielding in this matter.
“Hahaha!” Snarling with a heavy grin, "And you think your sacrifice will be enough to save that little tramp? Even if you exhaust your soul, you are still no match for us. What can a brief moment of delay do to stop us? Without the demon king's protection, the human world is nothing! By then Liu Qing Yu will also die in vain along with those insects!" One could literally hear the gnas.h.i.+ng of teeth when the Spirit Lord spelled all that out.
Although it's as the person says, Elder Jun stood no chance against the foes presented before him despite the sacrifice, but the flames from his burning soul were deadly scary even to the strongest of the bunch. The only flaw was the timeframe. A soul could only fuel the forbidden technique for so long. Once depleted, its all over and all the Spirit Lord and his goons had to do was wait here.
Firm and expressionless still on his face: "The Spirit Realm will eventually perish, pity though the madam is buried in this dreadful place along with you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. No matter, I'm sure the lady will return one day and transfer her grave to a happier location." Perhaps his own remark had brought back the memory of that beautiful and proud woman, but Elder Jun's pale face was now showing a deep smile that could only be found in someone that truly held deep emotions for another.
