Chapter 90: 090 Ending_1

In the dense forest.

A decaying boot heavily steps onto the mud ground, the next moment, a robust, scar-ridden leg stomps down again.

Casio’s silhouette darts rapidly through the woods. He feels tired and even slightly out of it. His whole body is filled with pain, and the bones under his muscles are moaning.

With every step taken, the whole body’s wounds feel as though they are being torn, causing excruciating pain. Especially the left arm, where there’s only a small lump of flesh, swaying from side to side.

He is now just like his senior brother, Heige.

It’s as if in the recent battle, he got ripped off by a cloaked person he couldn’t quite place. Perhaps it’s teeming with bacteria in some water pit, or it might have been eaten by monsters.

Casio doesn’t care about these things, as getting out of the encirclement is the greatest fortune. This is different from Li Wei, he fought his way out alive, the countless scars on his body are evidence of the fight.

“Run further away! Just a little further to recover some strength, then…” Casio thinks to himself with gritted teeth, but suddenly realizes something is wrong behind him. Lixia’s coughing has disappeared for quite some time now.

He quickly rushes to a large tree, gently lowering Lixia from his back with one hand. The moment Casio touched Lixia’s back, his shoulder shudders uncontrollably. Under the dim light of the sky, Lixia’s eyes are tightly closed, her face pale as if she’s dead.

Casio uses his body to block the rain, placing his fingers under Lixia’s nose. Fortunately, Lixia still has a faint breath.

He takes a deep breath and looks at Lixia’s back. The skin and muscles there have been completely torn, with three massive scratches running vertically, the wounds are so bloody they have turned white.

What’s most severe is a penetrating wound on the left side.

Through the red muscles, one could see the white skeleton beneath.

“Li… Li Wei…”

All of a sudden, a murmur-like voice arises.

“I’m here, Teacher, I’m here!”

Casio kneels on the ground, panting heavily.

“Boom!” The misty sky is torn apart by lightning, where the gale whips the heavy rain which strikes everything under the sky ferociously, blurring all objects under a transparent fog.

Through that moment of cracking light, Casio could see Lixia’s frighteningly pale face and her black pupils gazing at him. “Teacher, I’m taking you back to Northern Flow City to see a doctor right now! If I put in all my strength I should still be able…”

“No, cough, I… I know the state of my injuries, every martial artist has this ability, you should know, don’t risk it anymore.” Lixia coughs and pants.

She struggles to breathe, like an old bellows.

“…” Casio is as silent as a statue, while the rain crazily pours from the sky, drenching his naked upper body.

“Don’t… don’t be sad for me. This day was destined ten years ago, it’s just a bit early. I have been mentally prepared, death is not scary for me, it’s just a bit regrettable that I couldn’t see your outstanding days…” Lixia forces a smile, it seems quite unnatural.

“Remember, don’t seek revenge on those monsters without any powers!” Her tone suddenly becomes serious: “Cough, cough, run as far as possible, leave North Flow Country! Never go back to the Wind Elephant Gate, never! Don’t go to any branches! Just leave, and heal these injuries first.”

Casio nods silently, his mouth is a straight line.

“Cough, cough, cough…” Lixia has another series of violent coughs, quite frightening, blood overflows from the corner of her mouth. After deeply breathing twice, she opens her mouth again, her voice like charred wood, dry and scratchy: “Also… also! Live on for me, live on for us, live on for the Wind Elephant Gate! And also, don’t lose the pocket watch I gave you…”

Lixia’s breathing slows down, like a drowning patient. She holds onto Casio’s right hand tightly, as if her life force is returning. All of a sudden, that hand loses its strength.

“Teacher? Teacher… Teacher! Teacher!”

Casio’s eyes widen, as a sense of emptiness blows hard on his heart, freezing some valuable and beautiful things into ice cubes, which then shatters in the heavy rain and strong wind.

The dark clouds swallow the remaining light of the day, the noise of the rain nearly drowns out all other sounds. Casio coldly gazes at the direction they came from, shouting in his heart: Revenge! Wait for me, monster!

He takes a deep breath, as if to swallow all the hatred and hide it in his heart, Casio shakily extends his finger.

Then.

“Hm?”

Without a second thought, he picked up Lixia in his arms with the fastest speed he’d ever mustered and bolted towards North Flow City.

Three months passed, East Sea County, at the Blue Tree Forest Sanatorium.

The sun shone brightly today. A heavy rain had poured all night long, so the blue sky looked like it had been washed with a cloth.

Only a few clouds swayed in the breeze.

This Blue Tree Forest Sanatorium was very luxurious, the ground was paved with large chunks of gray stone in a grid pattern.

On both sides of the road were sprawling flower beds, attracting tiny insects with their fragrant red and green flowers. Tall and upright ornamental trees blocked the sunlight, casting a large swath of shade.

By the shade of the trees, a white six-cornered fountain gushed continuously with clear water, occasionally attracting a butterfly to alight on the edge.

On the circular road beside the fountain, a tall one-armed youth was slowly pushing a wheelchair forward, occupied by a woman with white hair but a relatively young face.

Her face bore a scar, an appearance of recent recovery from a serious illness.

“Hello, Mister Casio.”

A little brat holding a windmill toy approached him.

“Hello, Martin. Here, a candy.” The man, using his one good arm, took out a red candy from his pocket and offered it to the child.

“Thank you.”

The kid skipped joyfully away with a bounce in his each step.

“You’ve changed a lot, Little Wei.” The woman said with a smile on her somewhat pale face. Li Wei used to be a reserved student, but now seemed more cheerful. Maybe the trauma of losing an arm changed his personality.

“People always change, Teacher Lixia.”

Casio took a candy out from his pocket and tossed it into his mouth.

The sweetness was quite pleasant.

On that rainy night three months ago, Wind Elephant Gate was nearly annihilated, with only Casio and Lixia surviving.

That’s right, Lixia didn’t die! At the time, Lixia thought she was certain to die, and Casio also believed that her injuries were too severe.

But surprisingly, she held on!

Casio rushed to the hospital in North Flow City with the fastest speed he could muster, practically falling from exhaustion by the time he arrived. Despite the doctors’ best efforts and surgery, they were about to declare failure when by some miracle or divine intervention, Lixia pulled through! But she did remain unconscious on the hospital bed for three days.

Upon awaking after three days, Lixia was confounded to find that she had been brought back from the brink of death despite having given her apparent last words.

The near death experience was then followed by almost a month of treatment. During this time, the Cloaked One never showed up, seemingly having forgotten about Casio and his teacher. But Lixia was uneasy, so two months ago, she endured the pain and went with Casio to East Sea County.

Using his alias “Casio”, he admitted Lixia into the sanatorium where they spent a tranquil two months.

By the fountain, Lixia sat in her wheelchair, lifting her hand for a scoop of the cold clear water. Casio stood tall in her presence like a large tree.

He suddenly spoke up.

“Teacher, I’m planning to start practicing the Secret Martial Art again tomorrow.”

“Good!” Lixia nodded heavily, “But at least for the next five years, don’t go investigating those monsters, promise me.”

“Of course.”

Casio squinted his eyes. He would not act during this time of retrospection, and swore to suppress his hatred. On the third node of his path of revenge will he unleash his wrath…

He hoped that the doubled enhancement of the Shadow Demon wouldn’t disappoint him.

He wondered, how would the minor accomplishment of the second layer of the Wind Elephant Fist fare if it were to double again?
