Time Through Time We Remain Untamed.

CHAPTER 69: FRACTURED HEARTS

   
       Jiang Cheng and Xichen moved back, exhausted! They had taken turns over and over, handling Jin as he seemed unbeatable. Don't get it twisted, Jin was barely holding on beaten into a pulp but he still stood on his feet, unrelenting.

    "ARGHHH! WHAT!! UNABLE TO FINISH!?! COME ON! COME AT ME!!" he roared, mouth frothing with dark murky blood and foam, he was partially blind, his whole left arm cut off and had open wounds all over. Panting, Jiang Cheng and Xichen gave each other one last look before they charged. Jiang Cheng roped Jin's head and Xichen pierced right through his gut, the sword going all the way till the other side. Jin's eye widened as he fell, his body wasted. It was done.... He was dead.... At least they thought so as they released him and watched the last of his faltering steps as he started muttering and mumbling, talking to someone, his voice rising.

     "YOU.... YOU THINK I'M AFRAID!?! DO YOU THINK I AM WEAK!!? I FEAR NOTHING! I FEAR NOOTHING!! I AM JIN GUANGYAO!! I AM THE KING!! I WIN!! I WIN IN THE END!!" he screamed, his demons taking over as he completely lost his mind. At this point he wasn't even with them, addressing Qin Su who had taken the spotlight infront of him.

     'Really? Then come to me.... Come brother .... Let's go together then...' she slithered, arms wide open.

     "I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU!! I AM NOT WEAK!!" he screeched, his body swaying as he gargled and chocked. What? Did she think he wouldn't do it?! He was Jin Guangyao!!

       "JIANG CHENG!!! RUN!" Xichen yelled, grabbing him by the hand as he noticed the red button in Jin's hand and the 2 raced downstairs as fast as they could. He was going to blow the whole place up. That psycho!

   Jiang Cheng and Xichen ran as fast as they could but they only reached the 3rd floor before both buildings imploded, the foundations shaking violently and began to crumble brick by brick. Dust collected and the whole structure fell apart. The 2 had no choice but to jump off the building, hoping to land safely.

    Jin stood proud as the whole thing caved in, his body falling into the earth's crust, the concrete and steel folding over and buried him with any unlucky souls that were stuck. The entirety of both buildings reduced into blasted piles of debris and wasted materials. The rumble travelled for kilometres, shaking the ground of the area around, nature trembling. It was finally over, it was all over. Jin Guangyao was finally and totally gone forever.

        The resounding crack of bones was evident as Xichen and Jiang Cheng hit the ground hard. They were alive by all the graces but injuries had to be incurred and in this case, he felt the breathtaking, cropping pain of his bones disconnecting. Fuck!! That was going to last a while.

    They were found minutes later by their remaining men as the distant sirens finally drew closer. The police and medical team were here, hopefully in time.

     "Lan Zha...... Where's my bro....." Xichen attempted to say as the men carried him away. The pain was blinding but he had to know. Jin had blown up everything, what if they were trapped somewhere? Luckily for him, the 2 had been found by their men before the blast and were taken out but they couldn't say if they were alive or not. They were soon surrounded by the professionals, an entourage of about 10 ambulances on site with others on the way. This was going to be the case of the century.

      The linoleum floors click-clacked with the hasty steps of Liu Feng and Lan Qiren. They had just arrived at the hospital, the call from the medical team reaching them from the moment they had found the victims. They had arrived earlier than them, the distance from the hostage area much further than anticipated but that didn't do anything to calm the nerves, infact the 2 were on the edge of the cliffs. Their children, their children were in imminent danger.
