Zi lu POV*******
"I thought you would be wise enough to choose but I guess you're not.... Fine then you! And you! Kill them but leave the queen alive and bring her to me"
'zi Lu's men charged towards them while commander gurai made a defensive stance ready to attack
'your majesty get back! ... Miao miao take her Majesty away from here I'll try to stop them
'he said while fighting Zi Lu's men's
"Quickly go now! I can't hold them off much longer
'miao miao and the queen quickly escaped through a secret entrance behind the palace wall. Gu Rai managed to kill some of zi Lu's men but he was still outnumbered and Zi lu was now going after miao miao and the queen luckily for him Jin DAO his student in training came in time with some other warriors to help that way commander gurai could stop zi lu from going after the queen.
Zi LU was very furious when he saw the queen escape with miao miao then he stood up to go after them but he was stopped by an invisible force field made by gu Rai
"Ha ha ha commander I didn't think you would still be foolish enough to use your powers against me in that case I'll make you have a taste of your own medicine"
'then zi LU palms was ignited with fire and he made large fire balls with them and threw them at gurai, just when it was about to hit him arrows of water suddenly hit the fire balls and extinguish them.
Gu Rai who was ready for the impact of the fire ball on him was surprised when he felt nothing, he looked up to the direction where the water arrows came from and saw that it was from Jin dao he was very proud of him at that moment and thought to himself that he trained him well.
'zi LU who also saw this was even more angry and he was even more furious to see that Jin dao and gu Rai along with their soldiers had managed to kill all his men and the queen had also escaped
"Zi LU you should just give up now because no matter how much we are outnumbered we will still defeat you just give up and maybe you would receive a less painful death
'commander gurai said'
"commander gurai I must say you have lived up to your name once again, but you underestimate me too much Gu rai have you forgotten just has you can control magic I can also do the same and even more"
'immediately he said this he started chanting some spells and a dark cloud filled the atmosphere, Zi lu's body was floating on air with some creatures that looked like evil spirits hovering round him, Zi Lu's eyes became blank with the absence of his eye ball and an evil smirk on his face he made an arrow filled with poison from the creatures hovering round him and aimed it at gu Rai.
'he launched the arrow directly at his heart, although gu Rai protected himself with a force field the arrow pierced into it and hit gu Rai directly in his heart.
'with a thud gurai fell to the ground with the head of the arrow inside his heart he was bleeding alot, Jin DAO immediately ran to him while zi LU watched with a triumphant smile on his face, he made himself normal again and headed out to go after the queen.
'when Zi LU was about going out Jin dao wanted to attack him but was pulled back by gurai, gurai looked at him and Shaked his head in a sign that he shouldn't go after him, so Jin DAO stayed back and told the other warriors to go after him instead and try to stall him so the queen can have enough time to escape. When they left he tried to help gu rai
"Master please stay strong I will try to pull out the arrow now it will hurt slot
'then gu Rai nodded in response, Jin DAO pulled out the arrow at once and commander gu Rai whinced In pain. Jin dao tried to heal him while chanting some spells and using his water power but he saw that no matter how hard he tried commander gu Rai wasn't healing
"Master why aren't you healing I have tried so many times but you just won't heal
'gu Rai coughed up more blood from his mouth and tried to answer Jin dao
He signaled for him to come closer so he could speak to him well
"Jin DAO.... Oug oug.... You must go now through to her Majesty don't stay here trying to help me and wasting time oug....oug...
My wound won't heal because the arrow was made from black majic and was poisoned by the blood of the creatures that were round him, such wound can only be healed by the power of the one who possess the element of life, if the elements falls into the wrong hands it is capable of destroying the whole of the three kingdoms so you must let zi LU have it. Oug.....oug....
'he coughed up more blood again. When Jin DAO looked at his wound he saw a black foam inside it with black smoke coming out of his wound'
"Its okay master save up your strength you need to live so we can stop zi lu
" Oug....oug... Don't make false hope Jin dao I knew that I was going to meet my end today and I am not sad about it because you are here, oug...oug....
'he then put a bluish emerald on Jin dao's palm
"Jin DAO take this "
"What is this master"
"This emerald is no ordinary one I had wanted to give it to you after your training oug...oug..., This is the emerald giving to all commanders of gurashen it has been passed down to generations of commander till it got to me now I am giving it to you
" But master I cannot accept this, even if I was to accept it cannot be now because this is only to be given to the next commander if the present one is dead and master you are not dead, you might be injured but you said it yourself we only have to use the power of the element of life to heal you
'he said feeling emotional and almost crying'
"Jin dao you are right but do you really think its that easy, even if we were to use it no one can wield the power of the element of life unless they are the chosen one and the chosen one is the unborn child of the queen, so take this
"No master I can't
'he said still hesitating'
" You must Jin DAO it an order, besides the emerald choose you to be it's new wielder, now take it, the emerald of light will help you when you need it to and it will also strengthen your powers now go
'he said this and took his last breath, with a heavy sigh and a determined look on his face Jin dao hurried out to find the queen.
