Magic and Martial War God

Chapter 229: Sect Battle Part 10

Dozens of swords reached the red fist punched out by Hei-Ran. Dozens of sword marks appeared on her fist, each sword mark destroyed her red energy. When her fist stopped, there was no more energy left in it. Seeing this, Hei-Ran face turned serious.

She couldn't use her illusion against him because he was a pure swordsman. And her physical attacks aren't very strong. These attacks aren't even moving out of her body. Originally, she planned to send a fist condensed with spiritual energy.

Unfortunately, his swords broke energy before even it could move out. She shook her hand and a whip appeared on her hand. At the same time, her seductive look turned heinous. Her eyes turned red with a murderous aura around her and the anger flashed on her face.

She infused spiritual energy into her whip and smashed it towards him. Her whip unfolded and reached few meters away. Suddenly, her whip enlarged with spiritual energy and reached in front of him. Looking at the upcoming attack, Jian Tian sighed and his eyes turned serious.

Golden sword energy condensed into his hand, forming a long golden sword. He didn't take out his original sword. Of course, he wasn't underestimating his enemy because that whip was a top spirit rank treasure.

Condensed with his sword energy, his golden sword was powerful enough to fight against the top spirit rank treasure.

"Clank"

When his sword clashed against the tip of the whip, her whip enlarged again and bind his sword. Suddenly, intense golden sword energy released out of his sword and cut the whip into pieces. But soon, the whip returned to normal binding his sword again.

Suddenly, his pupil shrunk when he saw a giant red fist coming towards him. This fist was not just big but also very strong. Jian Tian knows if he got hit by this attack, he would be seriously injured. Without any hesitation, his hand released the golden sword and caught the hilt of the sword in his waist.

"Thousand Blossom Sword Art- Blooming Thorns of Roses"

In an instant, his feet moved. The moment he moved, he unsheathed his sword. The sword energy infused with his sword and countless roses bloomed around him. Each rose was released by his sword. He held the sword with both of his hands, and lift it vertically.

"Pssssssssssh"

In the next moment, his sword slashed down. Countless roses followed his sword, and the thorn of these roses tore her fist. If it were measured with speed, his sword was only slower than Takeo's Light Speed Sword. Unfortunately, Light Speed Sword is useless against the people who have a stronger bodies and can move fast.

This is why Takeo gave up. If he had used the Light Speed Sword in the previous fight, he would have injured her but that's it. Because she was fast enough to safeguard her vitals and her body was strong enough to decrease the damage by twice.

But if he was fighting against Hei-Ran, he would have won with Light Speed Sword. Her body is very weak.

When Jian Tian slashed down, her cut appeared on her chest. That cut wasn't too deep but also couldn't let her move. She slowly lost her consciousness and fell on the ground with blood gushing out of her chest. Fortunately, his sword only cut her skin but nothing more.

As she fell unconscious, she lost the match.

At the same time, inside the Main Hall

Johnny was standing in front of the Light Empress with a confused expression on his face. He gave her a deep glance from top to bottom and asked "Are you serious about what you just said?"

"Do you think I have any reasons to lie? Do you know what it feels like when your lover abandoned you for the sake of getting stronger? The moment he abandoned me and the earth for the sake of getting stronger, I started hating him." The light empress had a beautiful face but now it was ruined by tears falling down her red eyes.

She blocked both of her eyes with her hands and sobbed "I loved him the most, so much that I was willing to share him with other women. He kept bringing more women but I didn't care. As long as he loved me, it was enough."

"But that night do you what he said? He said he found a true love that he needs to chase. Now he longer wants to stay on earth or stay with us, he wants to chase that lady and get stronger. At that moment, my heart was broken. I thought I was his true love but it seems I was nothing but a plaything for him."

"Still, I was in love. I couldn't forget him. Even though he left, I still loved him because I thought he was a true man chasing his love. But that was just a foolish dream. I was so foolish that I forget about his talent."

While she kept sobbing, her knees weakened and she fell to the ground. She didn't try to hold back her tears, instead smashed the ground and cried "He didn't go there to chase her. He was told to let go of everything for the sake of becoming the son-in-law of a strong family."

"He abandoned me, everyone just for a sake of getting stronger and being together with that bitch."

Her tears didn't stop. She kept sobbing until her eyes dried up. Johnny didn't help her get up because he didn't know what to do. After a long moment of silence, Johnny asked "But why do you want to tell me this?"

Dream Empress lifted her head and looked at him with a blank expression. She looked down and lifted her head again and said "Because his son is here to kill your family."

"Who?" Hearing her words, his eyes narrowed as he asked.

"His son with that bitch. I don't know his exact realm but he is definitely above Emperor Realm. He would soon arrive here to kill your Fenton family. After all, Jack and Jane are the reasons why that bastard died." Dream Empress didn't look on his and answered. Her heart was still conflicted but her killing intent wasn't hidden.

"You said you loved him very much, right? Then, don't you hate our family too?" Johnny let out a deep sigh and asked.

"Have you ever truly loved someone?" Dream Empress looked at his face and asked.

Johnny was shaken by her question. But he didn't hesitate to nod his head.

"Then, do you know the most painful part of love?" She asked

"Isn't it death?" Johnny was utterly confused.

"No, it is betrayal." Dream Empress directly shook her head and answered then continued "If you truly love someone, even if they die, you will do everything you can to resurrect her or stay single for all your life. That is true love."

"But if you love someone and get betrayed, it would be the most heartbreaking part of your love. Because the love that you built was nothing more than a fake play. Your heart was played, your body was played and the same goes for your emotions."

"Is death a most painful to see? No, it isn't. We are now cultivators. Some are loved by heaven, some defy heaven, our end goal is to prolong our lifespan and live longer. Death is inevitable but we can escape death. So, in the end, death is not painful to see."

"But when you see your true love holding the hands of other and having many moments with him/her is the most painful moment. Especially when you found the castle of love that you build has crumbled into dust and nothing remains."

"After that, you want to build that castle with someone else but you will find you no longer have the courage to do so. Because at the moment, you'll find how hard it is to trust someone. If you truly love someone, from the moment you get betrayed, you'll never find true love ever again."

The dried eyes were filled with tears yet again. No matter how much she cries, those tears won't fade away. Life and death are the cycles of the universe. Death is inevitable. No one can escape death even gods are nothing but a bunch of creatures that transcends mortality.

They can control nature but can they control their fate? The life of a cultivator is very hard. He challenges heaven and earth, fights against his inner demon, and bends his destiny. But no matter how much he tries, he can't escape from his fate.

Fate and destiny are not the same. Love is destiny, true love is fate. At this moment, Johnny understands if people can change their destiny, change their love, but true love can't be changed because that is fate.

Suddenly, heaven and earth turned silently. In front of her eyes, she saw Johnny shining in golden light. At this moment, Johnny was enlightened, his mind was filled with countless words that shows the path of destiny.

'Life and Death, one word can change the destiny, one step can change the world, one strike can break the fate. Life and Death are inevitable, change the destiny, break the destiny, crumble the destiny, and form the destiny. Once destiny is tempered, fate can be changed.'
