Chapter 168 - Sacrifice
Ming Wu's movement abruptly halted as his black eyes stared at the surrounding white dome. At this moment, he found himself standing alone in this pure white world. This place abnormally quiet without any sound.
Whoosh!
Just as Ming Wu was confused, a small white cicada bizarrely appeared out of thin air before flapping its wings and rushed toward him. When it came closer to Ming Wu, he instinctively swung his broadsword at it. However, his strike didn't hit the target as it was passed through the cicada's body like nothing was there.
"Argh!" Ming Wu let out a painful cry as the white cicada hit his eyes. He felt as though he was pierced by a sharp needle.
Swish! Swish!
More and more cicadas suddenly appeared and swarmed over Ming Wu, causing him to scream further more. In the next moment, his entire being was wholly covered by the cicadas. All the black parts on his body could not be seen. It was as if he had blended into the white world.
Lin Xinyao stared at Ming Wu with a trace of amazement. In her eyes, Ming Wu was simply standing there motionless, letting Fu Tianya pierced him. A moment later, she roughly understood Fu Tianya's domain, as it was an illusion type. To her knowledge, this type of domain was quite rare; not many people would choose it because it was solely relying on the soul power.
Lin Xinyao glanced at Fu Tianya and secretly nodded her head. She naturally heard of his reputation before, and she always remained indifferent toward this. However, after witnessing Fu Tianya's true ability this time, she had to admit he was indeed deserved his reputation as a genius.
"Argh!" Ming Wu howled painfully while frantically swinging his broadsword. He tried to get rid of these cicadas, but all of his effort was futile.
As time passed by, Ming Wu was gradually weakened until he did not have strength to lift his broadsword anymore.
A cold light flashed across Fu Tianya's eyes as he pointed the Cicada Wing Sword at Ming Wu's forehead. His body bent forward slightly while lunging his sword forward.
Puff!
The Cicada Wing Sword sunk into Ming Wu's forehead by half. Fu Tianya flicked his wrist slightly and Ming Wu's head instantly blasted into pieces, leaving this world forever.
"Young Master!" Ming Wu's five bodyguards roared angrily upon seeing this. When they saw Ming Wu was affected by Fu Tianya's domain, they hurriedly forced their ways toward him, but they didn't expect Fu Tianya's men to suddenly burst out power that was stronger than before, restraining them on the place.
Boom! Boom!
With the death of their young master, there was no need for the five of them to restrain themselves. They utterly released all of their power, and five domains immediately appeared, covering the entire space.
"Young Master, please bring Miss Lin away!" One of Fu Tianya's men shouted, and he also released his domain.
Fu Tianya panted heavily. Opening the domain had almost emptied his profound energy. He glanced at the surrounding domains and decided to run without thinking.
"Fairy Lin, we should leave now." Fu Tianya arrived beside Lin Xinyao.
Lin Xinyao frowned and looked at Fu Tianya's men. "Are you going to leave them?"
Fu Tianya took a deep breath and replied solemnly. "This is the best choice. Please, leave with me immediately."
Lin Xinyao was uncomfortable seeing people sacrificed their lives for her, but she understood this was the best outcome. She looked at the five men deeply and nodded her head.
Lin Xinyao put the unconscious Su Xiao on her back and followed Fu Tianya, leaving this place.
When they went faraway, Fu Tianya looked back and saw his men put their lives on the line in order to let him escape. Unknowingly, his hands clenched into fists, and blood seeped out from the crack between his fingers. These five men had stayed with him since he was young. Even they were his servant, Fu Tianya always treated them as his uncle. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but become emotional.
Lin Xinyao noticed this and went silent. She wasn't good at comforting anyone, and could only look at Fu Tianya.
A while later, she said. "Thank you. I'll remember them."
Fu Tianya turned to Lin Xinyao and shook his head. "You don't have to say this. This is our duty."
Lin Xinyao nodded and turned her head away, focusing on the path ahead of her.
Upon seeing Fu Tianya and Lin Xinyao went away, the five of Fu Tianya's men were relieved. They looked at each other with a smile and one of them said. "Brothers, do you think our Young Master has a chance after this?"
Another man laughed out loud as he replied. "Of course, our Young Master playing a hero saving beauty beautifully. I don't think Miss Lin can still remain indifferent."
The five of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Brothers, see you on the other side." The five of them said at the same time.
In the next moment, a golden brilliance radiated from their bodies, following with an overwhelming aura stormed over Ming Wu's men. The black and golden domains were entangled with each other fiercely for a while until the golden domains were coming out on top.
BOOM!!
All of a sudden, the bodies of Fu Tianya's men burst into a massive explosion, causing the entire space to shake violently. Even Fu Tianya and Lin Xinyao, who were far away, could feel it. When both of them turned to look back, they were shocked by the exploding scene.
At this moment, the sky had turned into golden color. All the black domains were nowhere to be seen as they were swallowed by the golden light.
Fu Tianya stopped his tracks and stared at the golden sky with sorrow. Earlier, he thought there was still a chance for his men to survive, but now, it was completely impossible…
