Myth Beyond Heaven

"Goodbye." Yun Lintian stared straight into Ross's eyes and moved the knife to cut his throat, sending him to the netherworld.

Arrows of blood gushed out from Ross's throat, splashing all over Yun Lintian's body. He didn't even flinch in the slightest as he stared blankly at Xia Yao's tombstone. 

The burning golden light in Yun Lintian's eyes gradually dimmed along with his strength that slowly left his body.

Yun Lintian's vision started to blur. He tried his best to stay focused as he took a step forward, walking to Xia Yao's tombstone with the biggest wish in his heart — he wanted to see her again.

Step by step, the distance between Yun Lintian and the tombstone gradually reduced. The bloodstain on his body had long been washed by the heavy rain, as though someone had meticulously cleaned him up.

Xia Yao's illusory figure appeared before the tombstone and watched Yun Lintian approaching her with an endless tenderness in her eyes.

A smile once again appeared on Yun Lintian's somewhat tired face. His pace unknowingly increased. He couldn't wait to embrace the peerless woman before him.

Bang!

Just as Yun Lintian was about to reach the tombstone, a loud shot resounded from a distance, sending an explosive bullet to penetrate Yun Lintian's chest. This shot immediately shattered Yun Lintian's aorta, causing him to lose his strength and fall down on the ground directly.

"Cough! Cough!" Yun Lintian coughed up blood, but he didn't seem to be in pain. He still reached his hand out, trying to grab Xia Yao's illusory figure.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! I didn't expect to catch our renowned Cloud Shadow leader so easily like this." At this moment, a ridiculed voice rang out from afar, along with a few figures walking toward Yun Lintian. Leading in the front was no other than Zhu Ding, and behind him were naturally the Dragon Soul team.

To reach this step, Zhu Ding had meticulously laid out everything by himself. First, he sent his team to mess with Hell Church and made it like Yun Lintian was the one who did it. Afterward, he lured Hell Church into China by offering a hand, helping them smuggled into the country, and providing various conveniences, such as weapons and vehicles. 

As someone who studied Yun Lintian's behavior for years, Zhu Ding naturally understood Yun Lintian's ability well. It was impossible to take him down with just a second-rate troop from Hell Church. Hence, Zhu Ding had arranged another layer into it by cutting all Yun Lintian's helpers out.

And now, Zhu Ding was about to reap the reward after painstakingly planning everything.

The Dragon Soul team spread out and surrounded Yun Lintian. Even though Yun Lintian had lost all of his strength, they didn't dare to be careless in the slightest after witnessing his abnormal movement earlier.

Yun Lintian didn't seem to hear or see anything around him. His eyes were always fixated on the anxious Xia Yao. He mustered all of his strength to crawl forward bit by bit.

Zhu Ding frowned slightly upon seeing this. He glanced at Xia Yao's tombstone and let out a sneer. "Oh, I see. You want to touch your ghost lover's tombstone for one last time?"

Zhu Ding walked forward unhurriedly and arrived before Xia Yao's tombstone. He looked at the exquisitely carved tombstone and chuckled. "Tsk. It's so beautiful. You probably spend a lot of fortunes to create this, right?"

He turned around to look at Yun Lintian and said. "Honestly, I also feel pity that a beautiful woman like her died so young. I haven't had a chance to taste her yet… Alas."

Yun Lintian's pupils quivered slightly but returned to normal in the next moment. He still crawled forward, ignoring Zhu Ding completely.

Zhu Ding's brows knitted slightly. He wanted to vent the accumulated anger by humiliating Yun Lintian before killing him. However, seeing no reaction coming from Yun Lintian, he suddenly got furious, as though he was being humiliated instead.

Zhu Ding took a deep breath and said with a smile. "Fine. You want to touch this so much, right? Let me help you then." Following that, Zhu Ding kicked the tombstone with all his might and successfully knocked it down.

"Ah…AH…" Yun Lintian became anxious upon seeing this. As much as he wanted to rush forward, he didn't have the ability to do it at this moment. His hands frantically grabbed on grasses and pulled himself ahead while making an urgent sound.

Zhu Ding stopped his movement and turned to look at Yun Lintian with a grin. He found a way to humiliate Yun Lintian now. "Hey, hey. Why are you so anxious? I'm about to bring this tombstone to you now."

He motioned with his chin toward his subordinates. The few men nearby glanced at each other with complicated feelings. They knew very well that this mission was purely a personal grudge between Zhu Ding and Yun Lintian. If possible, they didn't want to participate in it. Especially humiliating Yun Lintian.

Sadly, who let them be his subordinates? In the end, they had no choice but to comply with Zhu Ding's command.

Four people stepped forward and carried Xia Yao's tombstone up. They immediately carried it away toward the cliff with Zhu Ding's order and stood there, waiting for the next instruction.

"Ah…AHH!" Yun Lintian's anxiety soared up. He hurriedly crawled forward with all he had, but he was stopped by Zhu Ding's kick.

Bang!

Yun Lintian flew backward and landed heavily on the ground. However, he disregarded everything and struggled to crawl toward Xia Yao's tombstone once again.

Zhu Ding arrived by Yun Lintian's side and squatted down. He grabbed Yun Lintian's hair and looked into his eyes with a cruel smile. "I wonder how do you feel right now? Can you tell me a bit?"

Seeing Yun Lintian's ignoring him, Zhu Ding raised his hand and slapped heavily on his face, and said coldly. "You know what? What I hate you the most is that you are too arrogant.. How dare you ignore me again and again? I am a dignified young master of the Zhu family, while you are just a bastard without a mother. How dare you compare to me, ah!?"
