-

Luo Ming faded… No, he disappeared, whisking away as tendrils of green smoke.

“Theres no way theres such a technique or qinggong in existence,” Abels thought.

Abels retrieved his energy from Sea Deer Hunter and protected himself using Evil Eminence Powerfield, ensuring nothing inside his field could escape him or harm him. No matter how long he waited, though, Luo Ming was as good as gone.

“Come out, coward! Come out!”

Abels still had his fists if he lost Sea Deer Hunter. Livid and having lost his composure, he rammed a white wall, yet he barely left a mark or blew off any dust.

“Coward, and you call yourself a respected master! Come out!”

Why do I hear water

Abels looked down to discover water rising fast; it was already past his knees, although not cold enough to cool him down.

Did he prepare a trap

As a thief, Abels had to be a bank of knowledge when it came to mechanisms and traps. As an elite martial artist, he had keener senses than the average man, yet he didnt hear any trap activate or notice where the water came from.

Is there a trap that can hide the direction water is flowing to and fro

There was no time to worry about that as the water soon went over Abels head. Though breathing underwater was an easy task for Abels, Luo Ming grew up around water, while Abels grew up in the desert. When Abels wanted to head back up, the ceiling he tore down was blocked.

Upon spotting Luo Ming shoot for his shoulder, Abels swam forward as fast as he could and splintered the sword with his fist. Alas, Luo Mings advantage in water showed as he propelled himself back and then advanced on Abels again. Despite the disadvantage, Abels advanced and unleashed a seven-hit combo.

“Is that all youve got” Abels stopped to ask.

Luo Ming expected to have a lopsided advantage, not to discover Abels could speak in water. Simply put, Abels generated his blue sphere to keep barricade the water outside it. Abels had reversed bad situations into victories time and time again, so giving up when things were heading south was the last thing hed do.

Abels transformed the water into a broadsword and enveloped it in blue energy. Just as Evil Eminence Powerfield could alter the wall around to stay away from him he could manipulate the water into weapons. In other words, he was in an armoury.

“Catch this!”

Luo Ming stabbed and stabbed to break down Abels flurry of flying blades. Abels edged closer with each attack and then, once in range, blasted Luo Ming in the chest with his fist to start, then drove another punch at Luo Mings face.

“Luo Ming, the only way you can pay for what you did is with your life!” Abels let loose on Luo Mings face, roaring as he laid into Luo Ming.

“Its pointless.”

Again.

Abels shouldve had the senses to detect the direction of Luo Mings voice, yet he couldnt.

Meandering with Sea Deer Hunter in hand, Luo Ming continued, “Regardless of how mighty or intelligent you may be, none of it holds any weight here.”

Abels seemingly couldnt see Luo Ming or hear him. Perhaps Abels was so invested in shouting and punching that he didnt notice. When Abels finally stopped to catch his breath, “Luo Ming” was as bloody as he was. “Ha, ha, hahaha, youre dead! Hahahaha, youre finally dead! Hahahaha!”

There was no jubilance in Abels laugh. To the contrary, he kept laughing and laughing as though the morose feelings caught up to him and needed liberation. After a while of this odd behaviour, he slumped onto the ground and then started sobbing in addition to howling. No matter how many tears he shed, sadly, he couldnt banish the sorrow welling up inside.

Abels didnt know what to do now that he avenged his brethren and lover. Where was he supposed to employ his skills next

Luo Ming lifted his hand and moulded qi.

“I… I…”

“Abels… Abels… Can you see me”

Abels head jerked up upon hearing the voice hed been yearning to hear in forever. There she was behind him, as bright and beautiful as he remembered.

“A-Lan! Youre okay! Youre okay!” Abels checked to see she had a body temperature and her signature scent in his embrace.

“Im okay. Were all okay…”

“A-Lan… A-Lan…”

Fatigue melted his nerves and quelled his anger. Just like theres a limit to ones wealth, theres a limit to ones energy. No matter how determined one may be, an overdraft will take its toll if not paid. The constant fighting, training, assassinations and emotional turmoil relied on an energy loan to keep Abels afloat; those fumes he was running on had also run out. His eyelids fell, and his awareness of his surroundings shut down with them.

They were still in the same chamber. Luo Ming was still Luo Ming and not a mush of blood as Abels saw. Nothing had changed.

“Sleep, young, unyielding, angry Evil Eminence…” As he strolled deeper into the chamber, Luo Ming continued, “When you wake, you will drown in madness and bellow. Your destructive craving for vengeance against this cruel world will disappear. You will pretend youre okay and face the light, coming up with every excuse under the sun to convince yourself that there is salvation for this world. Thats cruelty and a fate that cant be altered.” This calm speech was what he had spent almost a decade crying out. That sunlight he walked away from was the one that he believed couldnt serve him pragmatically. “This worlds peace is still repulsive.”-
