Soul Fire (GUARDIAN BL)

Chapter 34. "Love is a curse; Hate is a blessing."

Conventionally armed, Shen Wei turn to return to the fight. The fight however comes to him rather abruptly when he is faced by a foot kicking his chest. He's winded, swept off his feet. His back hits the ground and his body rolls to face away from the aggressor. He sure to roll back and just in time to see the same daunting foot descending upon his face. Quickly he bring the blunt long sphere to his ankle and roughly slice open the hell guards achilles tendon.

The hell guard yells in agony and stumbles back, but the hell guard doesn't give up that easily, he draws two sharp knifes. When Shen Wei scramble to his feet he begins his offence, knives cutting toward him very precisely for somebody balancing all their weight on one foot. They resonate sharply against the back of his black cloak as he use it to block his unbalanced attacks with his dark alight with murderous intent he goes for the hell guards face with his GongGong blade.

Shen Wei take that as an opening, squatting out of the way when he strikes and plunging that blade into the hell guard's intestine, above his groin.

The muscles in the hell guard's neck seize, while Shen Wei's GongGong blade falls to the ground he quickly grab it in flash and makes one more, objectively sloppy attack. The very edge of the sharp blade cuts along the hell guard cheekbone, creating a thin, stinging stripe.

Hell guard starts crumbling apart but he know he can't live any longer, not now that flash of red appears at the entrance of the house. So, Shen Wei grab the hell guard's black hair by its longer part and bring his GongGong blade to his neck.

"You'll regret...," blood starts to bubble from the hell guard's lips, "killing me.."

"I've never been soft. Don't forget that. When my day comes, I'll be sure to shake your hand in hell, and I'll expect you to remember who put you there." Shen Wei snarl, holding the hell guard real close.

"I hope... you come soon." the hell guard wheezes out the whisper, smiling hatefully with crimson stained lips.

Shen Wei can see it in his eyes. It's over. He accepts death, hell guard knows it too.

Drawing back the blade, Shen swing it toward the hell guard and it embeds deep in the side of his neck. When he pull it out blood gushes from the messy wound.

Hell guard dies in his grip. He let him go and his ragdoll body lands face up on the dark dusty ground.

Shen Wei don't feel anything, looking down at his ruined body, watching blood pool around his neck. He never liked the man who was succumbed by hatred and darkness.

Ever since he starts to dream, he always depicted an event in the future. He never knew when they were going to happen. Some times he could pick up some clue of the day. But whatever happened, he always know that whatever's going to happen, is going to happen soon. Still it was always good to know.

Something better for Shen. Like the universe is one of the only things that wants him around. And then there are the other times. The times were he feel like the universe is trying its hardest for him to die. But he know it's not his time yet. And that's exactly what his dream showed him. He survived. But he couldn't say that for everyone. Even for Zhao YunLan.

Shen moved his long sphere effortlessly as he guided it in an arc above his head, then brought it down.

Corpses, freshly cuts or freshly bloodied, scattered about the ashen ground, their eyes dead and lifeless. Some still fought to stay alive, crawling across the dead people and ashes, their skin peeling away like paper, their remaining hair shedding like feathers, their blood pouring from open wounds like waterfalls. However, their effort only proved to be pointless.

Unknowingly, Chu slow his run when he saw Shen Wei, looking down at the body.

"Your Honour! What the hell happened here?" Chu looks from Shen to the body, tapping a glossy red stiletto against the ground expectantly.
