Chapter 83 (1/2)

”shi+ng!”

Tie Cheng's refined sword flashed lu powerfully onto the lock but did not leave the slightest aze falling upon his back Turning around, he caught sight of Hu Sang, as standing outside of the noisy crowd and looking at hi's father was a reputable craftsman

”My father refined it fro,” Hu Sang inforly ”You can't break it”

”Why? Why?” Tie Cheng growled ”Why must you do this?”

”She deserves to die” The hatred and jealousy Hu Sang felt toward Meng Fuyao was evident in her eyes ”She deserves it!”

Tie Cheng stared sluggishly at her, sensing iitation, despair andin shock, he felt his heart slowly sinking

”Thud”

The dull collision of the huate sounded like a h the creaks and splattered all over Tie Cheng's fingers He lowered his head 'Is that Meng Fuyao?'

The specks of blood reminded him of the loneliness, desolateness, helplessness, and deterhtly reddened eyes before she left They contained a warreen s to a girl as only 18 years of age

A fate that involved blood and tears wasn't a responsibility this courageous girl should have to shoulder

Tie Cheng fell onto his knees

In the 19 years that he had been alive, he had never felt his knees or even neck turn weak Yet, before the city gate and around

He started koing before Hu Sang's eyes

”Please, I beg you Let her go She's innocent” Tie Cheng pleaded with blood and ether with the bruises on his forehead, he was alardless of that, he continued srief It was his first tiirl asn't even a friend Yet, in comparison to what the whole city owed her, he felt that he could never ever compensate for it

”Please, save her Key where's the key? Give elooked at him coldly, her eyes full of hatred Some time later, she turned to leave

”There's no key”

Tie Cheng knelt in a daze, his mind completely blank Another thud sounded froainst the door oncedaren't turn to look at the corpse He was afraid of recognizing it as the girl he had so adht and firm eyes of hers He was afraid that he would have to live with the pero out there and battle her way out of the enemy's hands, only to die by his own people's selfishness and doubt

”Ah!”

Tie Cheng raised his head and let out another shrieking cry

”Ah!”

Yet another anguished wailing could be heard as the second last man in black died under a fierce wave of attack

The Rong army did not release their arrows They let out a cold s Fuyao like how a cat would ahow she was unable to enter the city, how she was being betrayed by her own people upon killing countless of their young soldiers, and how the city guards simply looked on at her, unhed at their heart's content

Meng Fuyao had already fallen into silence at this point

She was as quiet as a bare yet pencil-straight tree, her expression as cold as frozen water

She leaned against the door that probably wasn't going to open, the blood over her body transforift she could give to the city Right here, before the city gate where her blood-filled body rested and where corpses lay beside her, Meng Fuyao was ultiuards She had no future

She swept her gaze across the field of the blood-stained ground

On it were three corpses withman in black was left by her side, and even then, he was already severely injured

This elite team had almost been wiped out because of her The leader of the teae co breath to take on the bloodthirsty eneers into the city wall, causing blood to ooze out froertips

It was blood from her heart

It was a city she had resided in for two months She was truly fond of it and truly felt the wars that traveled around during the s, and she enjoyed the warmth that she had never experienced before this She cherished and yearned for more of it, and because of that, precisely, she had chosen to assu the city at theit She hadn't expected an outcome like this

In response to her sacrifice and investment, the citizens had cast her outside their door

She had never expected them to throw their lives away for her

Was there any logic in the affairs of the world?
