But suddenly someone said,
"Hold on!"
All of a sudden. The sword in Ba Yun Xi's hand did not go forward. The sword was only inches away from Mr. Li's neck.
It turned out that the voice came from the direction of the entrance. There stood Mrs. Li carrying a torch and a book.
Ba Yun Xi, seems to have guessed. That Madam Li would definitely come to help her husband. Instead, he had been deliberately stalling for time.
It was Mr. Li who was most surprised to see his wife's arrival.
"Sister Lim, why are you still in this place? Didn't you promise to run away with A chu?"
Mrs. Li looked at her husband with glassy eyes.
"I...I can't. If you have to die, my husband."
"Sister Lim..."
"CIS! What a moving love drama." Ba Yun Xi snickered. "I'm afraid I don't have time. To watch your love show."
Ba Yun Xi swung her sword again. Aiming for Mr. Li's neck.
"Wait a minute! If you kill my husband. Then I will burn this book to the ground," threatened Madam Li.
Looking at the book in Mrs. Li's hand. Ba Yun Xi's eyes brightened.
"Alright, hand over the book. I promise not to kill your beloved husband," Ba Yun Xi said.
"I don't believe what you're saying. Let go of my husband first and then I'll hand over the book," said Madam Li who was starting to look nervous. Fearing for her husband's safety.
Mr. Li suddenly shouted,
"Sister Lim, what are you doing? Hurry up and leave! Don't bother with me! Hurry up and run away with A chu! Burn the book!"
Ba Yun Xi was getting impatient with this situation. He suddenly thrust the blade in his hand into Mr. Li's left thigh.
Mr. Li groaned in pain. Madam li began to break out in a cold sweat. In shock she cried out,
"Hey, what are you doing to my husband? If anything happens to my husband. I will really burn this book."
But Ba Yun Xi who has been in the martial world for a long time. Could already see the hesitation, as well as the fear on Mrs. Li's face.
"Quickly hand over the book! I won't hesitate to kill him!" snapped Ba Yun Xi.
Ba Yun Xi pulled out the sword impaled on Mr. Li's thigh. Fresh blood spurted out. Mr. Li again groaned in pain.
"Sister Lim, please hurry up and burn that book! I'm determined to die," Mr. Li said while enduring the pain. Apparently, he was determined to sacrifice himself for his wife's child.
The situation became very tense. Mrs. Li seemed to understand her husband's determination. She finally decided to burn the book. But suddenly. She heard a voice from behind her.
"Mom... Father, what are you doing in this place?"
Don't know when. A chu had been standing outside the room. Looking at his injured father. He was shocked. Then shouting, he ran over to his father.
"Father! Master! What exactly happened?" asked A chu.
Seeing the opportunity at hand. Ba Yun Xi immediately lunged towards A chu.
Seeing this. Mr. Li immediately shouted to A chu. Telling him to run immediately.
"A chu hurry up and run! Master Ba is the bad guy who hurt father."
Hearing his father's words. A chu was shocked. He stopped his steps.
But A chu had not yet moved. Ba Yun Xi had stood behind him and drew a sword across A chu's neck.
Then Ba Yun Xi said with a laugh,
"Your family is unlucky today. It seems that your family is destined to die."
Ba Yun Xi seemed to sigh. After which he shouted,
"For the last time. Hurry up and hand over the book or I'll kill this kid!"
The situation became very complicated. Mr. and Mrs. Li had lost their minds. Seeing their beloved child threatened with death. The two of them had no choice. Other than handing over the book to Ba Yun Xi.
But suddenly. From behind Ba Yun Xi. A sword appeared, aiming for the heart. Unfortunately, the attack was still too weak.
Ba Yun Xi tilted his body. So the attack missed him. Then Ba Yun Xi delivered a hard punch with his left hand.
Ba Yun Xi's punch. Landed heavily on the face of the attacker, who turned out to be the kitchen caretaker's uncle. The punch also killed him. The sword in his hand fell down.
Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly greeted the fallen sword.
It turned out to be A chu who broke free from Ba Yun Xi's grip. Welcomed the sword that was about to fall. Then with all his might. A chu slashed the sword upwards. Randomly. Unexpectedly, the strike managed to hit Ba Yun Xi in the eye.
Ba Yun Xi groaned in pain while holding his bloodied face. A chu used this opportunity to run toward his mother and father. Ba Yun Xi frantically threw several secret weapons at A chu.
Just as the shurikens were about to hit A chu. Suddenly, someone appeared behind A chu's body. The shurikens hit that person's body.
"Chen, thank goodness you're still alive. Quickly help take A chu away from this place," Mr. Li shouted.
As it turned out, the person who blocked Ba Yun XI's sneak attack was Chen the young servant. He was unconscious after receiving a hard kick from Ba Yun Xi.
It was Chen who was injured. Without thinking, he immediately picked up A chu's body and carried him to the horse place. A chu struggled as he looked and shouted to his mother and father.
"Live to be a brave and gentle young man A chu," said Mr. Li. He told his son. For the last time.
Without looking back, Chen ran over and immediately put A chu on the horse's back. A chu could still see his parents from a distance. Just then, Chen was about to run away. A chu struggled with all his might and managed to break free.
A chu immediately ran back towards his parents. The injured Chen tried his best to run after A chu.
Luckily, Chen was still able to catch A chu's body and restrain A chu from screaming, calling his parents. He quickly tore the cloth of his shirt and tied it to A chu's mouth.
Otherwise. Ba Yun Xi who heard A chu's scream. Will definitely take advantage of the situation and threaten to kill A chu again.
Meanwhile.
Knowing that his son's life is no longer in danger. Mr. Li seemed to smile with relief. Then he looked closely at his wife and said,
"Wife, I apologize for not being able to protect our family. I even led you to death, do you regret it?"
"I never regret being your wife, and being A chu's mother. Because you are the greatest joy of my life. I will follow you wherever you go. Even if we go. To fetch death," Mrs. Li replied.
Hearing his wife's words. Mr. Li's eyes glazed over. There were no more regrets in his life. Then he grabbed the sword on the floor and started stabbing himself in the heart. The lantern in his hand fell to the floor and began to burn the place.
Seeing this. Mrs. Li also threw away the torch and took the sword that was stuck in her husband's body. Then she did the same thing as her husband. After stabbing her own heart. She immediately threw herself on top of her husband's corpse, holding the book in one hand.
All those tragic events. All witnessed by A chu. Chen tried his best to hold on to A chu's body which was shaking continuously. A chu's eyes were already wet with tears. With his own eyes and head. A chu saw the tragic death of his parents.
Suddenly Chen felt strange in his body. It looks like the wounds on his body are getting worse. It turned out that the secret weapon that hit his body contained an evil poison. Slowly his consciousness began to disappear.
Therefore. Before it was too late. Chen tried to gather all his remaining strength. He immediately picked up A chu's body and carried it onto the horse. Then ran the horse as fast as he could.
In another place.
"No! . I won't let you destroy the book!" Ba Yun Xi, who still had blood on his face, shouted.
He also tried to dart as fast as lightning. To prevent the book of martial arts that had been his dream for two years from being destroyed. It was destroyed just like that.
But the fire had spread to every corner of the room. Mr. and Mrs. Li's bodies seemed to have started to burn.
Ba Yun Xi tried to break through and reach the book in Mrs. Li's hand. He already didn't care about his burnt body.
However, Madam Li, despite her efforts, still did not want to let go of the book. She seemed unwilling to let go of the book.
Suddenly, the roof of the room collapsed. Ba Yun Xi was forced to grab the book, while pulling his burning hands.
He managed to grab the book.
But the book that was on fire. There were only a few sheets left.
