Lin Yue was shocked, so shocked that she didn't understand what is going on. She watched as the training ground started to be filled with blood, and its metallic scent spread to every corner.
Her Master was in midair, fighting, whilst her father was also battling with four grandmasters' stage cultivators at the same time.
Her mother and Bai Yueran were also coordinating to battle four grandmasters.
Even though their residents also has their own armies, their army's power wasn't as strong as the imperials, who have cultivated themselves on the battlefield. But Lin Huang on the other hand trusted the Empire so much that he believe that as long as his majesty was alive, nothing can happen to the Lin. But in the end, the so-called majesty was the one ending their lives.
Lin Yue's gaze accidentally landed in a direction, and what she saw made hot tears gush out of her eyes, and anger boiled in her.
She saw a soldier, taking a baby from her mother's arm, and then slashing the baby into two. The mother jumped at him, and then, she was also pierced in the stomach, he pulled his sword out by force, and the woman's frail body tumbled against the chairs, her life ending just like that, while the soldier on the other hand lock onto the next target.
If this is a horror movie, Lin Yue would surely enjoy it, but it is a real slaughter, a slaughter of her entire family.
"Don't look anymore." Lin Yu used his palm to cover her eyes, as he felt the girl trembling in his arm.
Even he was also shocked by the gory scene, after all, he is only twelve.
Suddenly, a man came to where they stood and reached out for Lin Yue.
"Watch out!"
Lin Yue heard a very familiar shrill voice and she and Lin Yu turned around, only to see a red-eyes, Lin Xi, holding onto a green sword that she just used to pierce into the man's back.
"You two should leave here, it is dangerous!" She said and then stood in front of them.
Lin Yue was emotionless, she didn't feel happy or sad, and she didn't feel pain or gratitude. She felt nothing, her heart was... blank.
Pure white is now tainted with a permanent black.
She watched the woman in a tassel pink dress start battling countless grandmasters that started to patronize the place where Lin Yue and Lin Yu are.
But all are taken care of by Lin Xi.
But soon, things changed.
Four men charged at them at the same time, an impossible battle to win for a level three grandmaster like Lin Xi, but to Lin Yue and Lin Yu's shock, the woman bound the men with something they didn't know, she turned around and look at them before smiling weakly.
"My son... is dead."
"Little Shao was killed." The woman smiled, with tears running down her pale cheeks.
She was smiling, yet crying. The graceful woman of before was no longer there, only a shadow remains.
"Without him, life was pretty much meaningless. I let go of my hatred for you and your family. The feeling..." She gulped as tears streamed down even more, which she didn't bother to wipe. "The feeling of losing a child is unpleasant and painful, so I don't want that to happen anymore. I–I hope you can be safe." She smiled again. "I am sincere."
Lin Yue searched the woman's eyes, but all she could see was the pain, bitterness, tiredness, and hope. Various emotions she wasn't able to discern.
Lin Yue's mouth quivered, her hands clenched, as she close her eyes and let the tears she has been holding streamed down easily.
"Cry, it is not good to hold it in."
The woman smiled at her one last time and then, she turned around and face the enemy.
She closed her eyes and inhaled sharply, then, she started enlarging in size, swelling more correctly, then she became three times larger than her former size.
"Goodbye." She mouthed.
And then, her body blew up, skin in a piece of pink, internal organs badly mutilated, and most especially, the pool of blood formed right beneath the youngsters' feet.
The woman, her smile, her mean eyes, none can be seen again. She is dead. She is gone.
The scene shocked everyone to the core, the beautiful woman has self destruct and killed the four grandmasters with her.
Many cries were heard, young and adult, man and woman, curses rang loud, the sound of blades clanging, and the pungent smell of the blood of both enemy and people formed a red sea. Body all around with different wounds; slashed neck, pierced chest, internal organs popping out, old and small, boy and girl.
Each second, a life was taken.
Soon enough, the sound of a crashing sound could be heard and everybody look up and saw Liu De fall from midair while Lin Huang landed gracefully.
The dying hopes of the people ignite a little bit the moment their head won, and soon, they gave it their all.
