Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 234 Stupidly in Love

All Joker’s clones immediately turned into ice before cracking open into thousands of small pieces. As long as the Heavenly Shield lost its effect, the battle was over. There wasn’t anyone in the Heaven Realm who could win a one-on-one fight with Xuefeng.

"Ugh... That hurt..." Xuefeng groaned as he turned his body to look at his wives.

Each time he moved, the three swords cut deeper into his insides. Ling couldn’t suppress his pain forever.

"Xuefeng!" His wives cried out his name, causing Xuefeng to smile.

So what if it hurts? As long as his wives were safe and he was alive, it was all worth it.

Xuefeng grabbed the hilt of the sword pierced through his chest and pulled. Too bad, it only moved an inch when Nuwa immobilized his body.

"Don’t you dare pull it out on your own!" Nuwa scolded angrily as they teleported to his side. "You are such a dummy! Ugh!"

The anger was present in all his wives’ faces but the worry was even more evident.

"Are you in pain?! Don’t move!" Katherine cried out as she held onto his arm to stabilize him.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine..." Xuefeng assured as he breathed shallowly. "It’s not like I can move with Nuwa Soul Power all on me..."

His eyes traveled to Yiren who already knew what he meant to ask. "I’m good. Lisa passed me a healing pill right away."

Xuefeng could clearly see a sword scar above her chest but thankfully, it was healing rapidly. He cursed their connection in his heart but there was nothing he could do. Even if they could cancel it in some way, Yiren wouldn’t let that happen.

"Aaargh!" Xuefeng suddenly groaned through his teeth as Nuwa pulled out the first sword in one swift movement. "Fuck, it hurts more when you pull it out."

"Who asked you to fight them all alone?!" Nuwa scolded while pinching his cheek. "Do you think we are so weak as to die to that unskilled creep?! Why are you trying to be a hero when you have all of us supporting you?!"

Her words were sharp like blades, cutting him deeper than Joker’s swords. She seemed to represent everyone as no girls corrected her. Thankfully, Xuefeng wasn’t the only guy in their group.

"Eh, you girls make it bigger than it actually is," Drakos commented while turning back into his human form. "It was just three sword wounds and you act as if he is dying. Isn’t he fine? Also, he pushed you all away because of our male ego. How do you expect him to live in peace if anything happened to any of you? He is so stupidly in love that he would die for you all."

He then stretched his arms with a relaxing moan. "If I was in his position, I would do the same but I’m glad I’m not. Being single is such a blessing. No responsibilities and—"

Swoosh!

A fireball splashing on his face forced Drakos to cut his speech short.

"Shut up already. You are not helping," Xiao Wen called out sternly, causing Drakos to giggle.

"He is right," Xuefeng approved. "I would do anything for you. I did what I had to keep you safe. I was the only one who could kill—"

"You shut up too," Nuwa cut him off but squishing both his cheeks. "Stop treating us like damsels in distress who always needs help. We are strong enough to protect ourselves. We are a team so treat us like a team. We would be fine either way and you wouldn’t suffer any injuries but you decided to take everything on yourself again."

Ahh!

Nuwa glared at him as she used her power and pulled two swords at the same time. Blood spilled on his back but Ling quickly stopped the bleeding and closed the wounds with his regeneration.

No matter what Xuefeng said, he wouldn’t win this battle. His wives were like him. They would also die for him and wanted to protect him.

Since he was alright, Xuefeng didn’t hesitate and teleported to Yiren’s side. He placed his palm over her wounds and removed the scars. His Regeneration Ability was faster than any pill she took.

"I’m sorry baby," Xuefeng apologized to her with a kiss before turning to all of his wives. I’m sorry, okay? I won’t push you away like this again. I was just being selfish because I can’t imagine losing any of you. Forgive me?"

How could they be mad at him when he looked at them with such a gentle gaze?

"Dummy... Don’t scare us like this again," Yiren muttered as she hugged him first, followed by everyone else.

"Tsk, how many times are we going to repeat the same scene?" Drakos commented with a snicker only to move to the side rapidly, dodging multiple fireballs thrown at him.

He was immune to fire attacks so it wasn’t like they tried to hurt him.

"Hah, alright, leave him alone," Xuefeng defended him with a chuckle and glanced at Ming. "Do you think that man has more of those Heavenly Shields?"

Although they killed all of his clones, he still wasn’t dead.

"From what I remember, there were around twenty of them left in the Treasury when I left the Fate Kingdom. I don’t know how many were produced till now or how many left that Bastard gave him," Ming replied. "There is also a chance he has other Heavenly Artefacts but I doubt it. That Bastard wouldn’t bet so much on one person and stack so many treasures on him."

"Makes sense. Let’s go," Xuefeng commanded, not wasting any more time. "This is the best time to get him before he recovers."

His wives nodded firmly as they flew to the west. Mona jumped onto his shoulder mid-flight and started licking the blood off his face. She was there with the girls when the battle started.

"Heh, what’s up cutie," Xuefeng rubbed her neck as he played with her. He couldn’t wait till she reached her nine tails so he could see her human form.

It took them less than ten minutes to reach the three red mountains but to their surprise, the middle one was almost gone. The whole place was destroyed full of small and bigger boulders as if someone exploded the whole mountain.

"Fuck, they destroyed their Headquarters and ran away," Xuefeng cursed disappointed.

"I’m pretty sure they escaped with Flying Ships so we have no way of catching up to them," Xinyu reported as she pointed at the sky, "You can see the distortion of the clouds by the wind they created."

"Let’s go back then," Xuefeng made a quick decision, knowing Joker wouldn’t leave any Fate Stones under the debris. "He will come after us sooner or later."

They were only gone for twenty minutes, but when they arrived at the Hellhole, they found another company.

"Oh, damn! What a coincidence! To think we would meet each other in such a place!"
