Kunlun Mountain Part 4 - The Return

Chapter 29 - The Final Battle - The Number Nine

*I took my time writing this chapter as there is a lot of information that I hope will bring understanding as to why I added certain characters and created certain situations that might not have made a lot of sense in earlier chapters.  I am now bringing this story full circle.  For those who have already read the first chapter of Kunlun 1, this chapter will make a little more sense.*

Racing through the small gap the Mystics had created for her, Bai Qian was finally free to stream ahead without restraint.  The battle that was raging behind her was as deafening as the roar of sound coming from the Creation Chamber she could see up ahead.  But the closer she got, she realized she too was being pulled towards it until she was no longer trying to move forward.

Looking back once, the battle was just as terrifying to her as what lay ahead.

Gaogui was completely surrounded by Hells Dragons and he was tearing them all to pieces as fast and as hard as he could.  But he was wounded and tiring.  She thought she saw a flash of light erupt from his body as several more were slaughtered in quick succession.  All twelve of his tails were throwing out lightening bolts and with two swords also flaring his rage, he looked magnificent.  

Ye Hua too was battling for his life.  The beasts that had risen from below, had brought with them an ancient energy that had been contained below by an even more ancient energy, one that belonged to the Mystics who had forced them all down into the bowels of their world in order to keep it safe.  But Ye Hua didn't know any of this.  Instead not only was his sword flying out in all directions, his mind power was also in play.  Turning several of them on each other, he was able to override the thought control that Honghui had over them as quickly as they erupted.

But the sight of Di Juns Phoenix and her fathers nine tailed fox form throwing beasts ten times their size back into the rupturing fissures in the ground was frightening to watch.  She had only ever heard the stories of her father and Di Juns battles, but to be seeing them both in full scale war was terrifying as it was beautiful.  Her fathers fox form was red and white, colors that were just as rare as her pure white fox form.  But the expertise that he wielded his tails was almost on a par with Gaogui.  He had full control of each of them, and though he did not have the same level of power that Gaogui did, he was just as beautiful to watch.  Ripping dragons from the air, and slaughtering them with ease, Bai Zhi and Di Jun along with the mystics who backed them, were such a formidable sight, that she could barely tear her eyes away.

But it was the sight of Honghui and Mo Yuans battle that suddenly had her stopping briefly.  Not only were they both in Dragon form but both of them were injured badly.  They were completely alone in the sky, no other beast neared them and as her sight honed in on Honghui,  she realized the reason was because he was controlling them.  But the Mystics were overriding his thought control along with Ye Hua.

Turning away from the sight least she delay any longer and draw attention to herself, she raced ahead to complete a task that she hoped would be simple, though something in the back of her mind told her it would not be.  

Slashing at his neck and face, Mo Yuan barely had the upper hand over Honghui but it did not stop him from trying to communicate.

"She is not Shao Wan Honghui.  Stop this!" he screamed into his mind, with a magic he had not used for centuries, but knowing it was the only way he was going to get through to him.

"You know nothing Mo Yuan.  She was mine before you, why did you have to come back?" he roared over the top of him as his own claws and teeth lashed out.

"Honghui, she is the Fox Kings daughter, she is not that woman." he continued to scream at him while the blood ran down his face and body from the multitude of wounds.  "You have placed the lives of millions on your shoulders.  Why?" he asked throwing his entire body at him and forcing him downwards where he hoped to bury him with the dead.
