Time stills.
Slowly, Tian De reaches up to the red that spreads on his chest. He coughs, wet, and blood trickles down his chin. The sword rests through his heart and he can feel it stutter in his chest before it stops.
The blade is withdrawn.
Tian De falls into a pool of red, his eyes wide and unseeing.
Li Yu's entire world stands there, frozen, his mind is blank but his body trembles for he cannot make sense of what he sees.
The monster that stands before him wears robes of red.
But upon closer inspection, the color is only from the blood of his victims, soaking through to cover the Bright Dragon Sect colors. His face is dark with madness, and pupils dilated with untold rage.
When Li Yu meets those frightening eyes, all thoughts flee from his mind. For no mortal ought to be capable of committing such atrocities. It is no human that stands before him. It's a demon.
But this demon wears his Brother Yinan's face.
