"Stab, stab, stab..."
Gao Yu and Ashi Luo were still furiously fighting each other, but their speed slowed down more and more, slower and slower...
In the end, the two men knelt motionless there, one hand still tightly gripping the other, the other hand still holding their weapons aloft.
Each man's chest had been pierced by dozens, if not hundreds, of swords, truly riddled with holes.
Even the blood had ceased to flow.
Both men stared with wide open eyes, dead but unwilling to close them.
Nai'er couldn't help but slow down, grief springing from her heart.
This demon, this scum, this bastard Ashi Luo was finally dead.
But why did it have to be Gao Yu who exchanged his life for this?
Gao Yu, Elder Xiao Gao Weng, the stern and unsmiling eunuch, had lost his life protecting Yan Nai'er.
His only duty was to protect His Majesty the King. But now, he had died protecting her.
Nai'er's sorrow grew deeper and deeper until she could find no joy.
