Chapter 851: Fall Of The War Maiden.
Shi Lang heard what Allure said, and he looked at Shi Tao's face covered with tears. His spirit energy ran amok and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Shi Tao lunged at him, "Baba!"
Shi Lang, the strongest Terran in the generation, and one of the most feared entities of the Immortal Plane fell to his knees at this moment. His aura was all over the place. One could see the extent of damage he was suffering. His spiritual energy was of the lightning attribute as soon as his emotions lost control the spirit would follow and give him a backlash.
Shi Tao and the rest quickly moved closer to Shi Lang but Hou Bing appeared beside him and said, "Stop. Do you all want to die?!"
The next moment, a strong lightning wave was discharged from his body. Hou Bing pecked his back at different spots and said, "I have locked his spiritual energy."
Shi Tao approached and held Shi Lang in her arms, the man said, "Take me there, please."
Shi Tao's heart shivered, she did not expect her father to be effected at such a level. Shi Lang had always loved Amelia, but this level of cultivations should have tempered his heart a bit more. The girl only hoped for things to get better, because now only Shi Lang was left behind.
It may look like Shi Tao had made her peace a bit too soon, but that was not true, at this moment, Shi Lang needed her more than ever. She said, "Hunk, inform Commander Silence to take charge, we are leaving."
Hunk nodded, still in a daze, they were all people of the military and they have seen many of their comrades falling before them, but this time it was away from the battlefield and they could not even make an effort to save Amelia. Explore more at m,v l'e-m|p| y r
Shi Tao did not waste much time, and directly opened a space tunnel to move. However, the efficiency and speed were both too low. After she opened a few space tunnels, Raksha appeared before them her eyes were brimming with concern toward Shi Lang. She could sense the turmoil and anguish in his heart.
He was just looking at the void in a daze. The news seemed to have sucked his energy dry. He wanted to charge through the void when he heard the news, but the next moment, he sensed his connection with Amelia fade away. The spiritual mark in his soul sea that belonged to his better half was gone. This was why he knew that no matter how much he charged it won't make a difference.
Raksha said, "Tao, come on."
Shi Tao jumped on the side of the blade and the sword shoot through the void at a blinding speed.
...
Every being in the caged world heard this news. The top experts began to move and converge toward the War Maiden Sect. Amelia was a renowned expert in this realm, she had many achievements and actively contributed to the battle against the demonic side. They all wanted to see if it was true or not.
Tian Long and Zither Soul were the first to move, and appear above the War Maiden Sect. They saw the entire sect was gathered, but none of them dared to approach the burning Amelia. Zither Soul took out her zither and played a few notes.
The flame gradually went out leaving behind an unharmed lady, and she said, "It was a soul flame. Whoever it was burned her soul away."
Tian Long thought for a bit and asked, "Can he refine a soul recovery pill?"
Zither Soul shook her head and let out a sigh, "Only a shred is left behind. No pill would work."
Allure approached Amelia and waved her hand, to restore her face. Amelia opened her eyes but they were only staring in the void blankly. She was barely holding on and mumbled, "Lang..."
Allure felt her nose growing hot as she tried to hold back her tears. Many other experts gathered, and Allure denied them coming close to Amelia. She could sense what the rest of them could not. Amelia was just a shell of herself and the soul fragment in her soul sea was waiting for Shi Lang to bid farewell to him.
If anyone else came close the fragment might burn out and that would be the end of it all.
Shi Lang appeared in the void, everyone sensed his arrival, but they were shocked to see his condition. His eyes were dripping with blood, and his aura was fragile. Shi Tao was holding him in her arms. Shi Lang did not look like himself at all.
His gaze fell on Amelia and he rushed forward. However, he stumbled a few times before he got to her. Shi Tao was crying and she tried to support him but Allure shook her head to stop her.
Shi Lang held Amelia's hand and spoke in a soft voice, "Amy, see I am here."
Amelia's eyes were in a daze, and Shi Lang could not stop the drops of blood flowing out of his eyes. The unease in his heart made him want to set the entire world on fire. He looked at Hou Bing and yelled, "Save her! Please, Hou Bing save her! I beg of you to save her."
Shi Lang was a proud man, and every force in the world knew about this. They had seen him stand with his back straight but today the man who made many experts bow their heads was kneeling beside a woman he loved and even begged someone to save her.
Hou Bing's figure flashed and she appeared in an ethereal form of a woman. The people were shocked. Hou Bing said, "Lang, there is not enough of her soul left for me to save her. The laws of time cannot restore her soul."
Shi Lang gave up all reason and yelled hysterically, "Use your blood if you have to, please save her. You are a phoenix, please save her. I will be your slave for the times eternal. But save my Amy. Please someone, anyone save her. Tell me what to do?
I am willing to give up everything, even my cultivation just save her!"
His yell shook the hearts of people. Many disciples in the war maiden sect were crying. At this moment a soft voice woke everyone up, "Love, don't be like this."
Shi Lang turned his head and found Amelia looking at him with sparkling eyes, she had finally regained some control. Her eyes were brimming with tears but on her lips sat a warming smile. She raised her arm with great effort and Shi Lang caught it gently.
He was holding her as if he was holding a treasure. Amelia said, "Clean up your face, let me see you properly one last time."
Shi Lang closed his eyes as he tried to hold back his wails. His heart was being torn in shreds and he was burning in pain and rage. The lady went on to say, "I liked you from the first day of school. When I found that you never gave up and earned your way to the top, I was impressed. That day in the gym when you sensed me, I was very impressed.
The time you almost gave your life to save me, I decided to sign my soul to you.
You were the reason I came this far. You were my strength and you still are. However, I was unable to defend myself against that beast. Forgive me for being so weak. Forgive me for causing you harm."
Shi Lang shook his head forcefully, and wanted to say something when Amelia said, "I don't have much time left. You have to stay strong, I know you will seek vengeance, but do not be quick about it. You are my Ace, love, don't let him get away with ease."
Shi Lang nodded forcefully, the blood continued dripping down his face. The sky had turned dark, and the clouds were rumbling. Amelia said, "Give Tao my love, I don't want her to see me in this condition, and look after everyone in my stead. Will you?"
Shi Lang nodded to every promise that she asked of him, and he denied every time she blamed herself. He never knew that Amelia loved him so much. However, he never expected to find it out in such a state.
Amelia's voice was turning softer with every word she said, "Lang, I am going ahead, but you are not allowed to follow me. I need some time to relax in the afterlife. Sweetheart, don't stop living while I am gone. I am feeling a bit cold, would you hold me in your arms, one last time? Kiss me, one last time."
Shi Lang sobbed as he lifted her in his arms. Almost all the women were crying at this scene, even the stubborn Immortal Sovereigns were effected, Shi Tao was in Raksha's embrace and they were both sobbing. The pain radiating through them was from the display of emotions and vulnerability of a cultivator who defied heavens.
The men were shook when they saw Shi Lang. This guy was their idol but today he was a fragile human who was emotional and cared deeply about the ones he loved. They all could not help but pray for him.
Shi Lang kissed Amelia gently and as he parted, Amelia took her last breath. Shi Lang froze, as her hand around his shoulder dropped down lifeless. His world came to stop. The silence was deafening, and suddenly, he looked at the skies as he roared, "Nooo!!!!"
The entire void shook, and his cries echoed in the entire realm. The clouds began to thunder as it rained, but even the heavens could not mute his wails and cries that shivered everyone. It was as if his agony was resonating with the world.
