I Have A Sword

Chapter 1007: Death Is the Only Option

The Tianxing denizens turned as white as a sheet of paper when Fu Wu crushed her own life seed with her bare hands. What she had done was tantamount to suicide—she no longer had any chance of surviving this ordeal.

None of them had expected that Fu Wu would go to such lengths, crushing her own life seed just to destroy the Tianxing Civilization.

Yi Nian sighed. She held tightly onto Ye Guan's hand, and her eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Ye Guan remained silent, but he was surprised by Fu Wu's actions.

However, it seemed that Fu Wu never had any intentions of living past this ordeal.

"HAHAHA!" Si Ying burst out into a peal of laughter.

The crowd cast bewildered gazes at her.

The Reincarnation Ancestral Stone despaired. It was no longer bothered whether Si Ying was stirring trouble or not, as there was no turning back now. It could only wait for its death!

Ye Guan glanced at Si Ying, who was laughing hysterically. There was something off about her.

Ignoring her laughter, Fu Wu approached the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone. Just then, two streaks of green light shot out from within the stone.

When the green lights disappeared, two ladies were revealed, and Fu Wu stopped at the sight of them.

The two ladies were Si Huo and Feng Dong - the Enforcement Officers!

During her fierce battles against Si Ying and the others at the time, there had been four Enforcement Officers fighting alongside her. Two of those four had perished in action.

Of course, they were just remnants of their former selves.

Si Huo looked at Fu Wu, who seemed to have lost her mind. A hodgepodge of emotions marred her face as she said, "Big Sister."

Tears welled up in Fu Wu's eyes.

Back then, four Enforcement Officers had risked their lives to protect her, and two of those four Enforcement Officers were these two—they had died fighting for her!

Fu Wu's heart quivered upon seeing them again.

Si Huo glanced at the battlefield, looking somewhat lost. Then, she turned to Fu Wu and said, "Big Sister… Feng Dong and I have followed you for a lifetime. We've never asked you for anything, but now, we're going to ask you for a favor for the first time.

"Can you please not destroy the Tianxing Civilization?"

Fu Wu clenched her fists, and tears streamed down her face.

"Big Sister!" someone exclaimed. Fu Wu turned and saw two figures—one male and one female. The man was Rong Qiu, the fruit whom she had saved earlier at the altar, while the woman was Yun Dan.

They were former Enforcement Officers and were Fu Wu's loyal followers.

During that fateful battle, Si Huo and Feng Dong perished in battle, Rong Qiu was imprisoned, and Yun Dan was forced to flee the Tianxing Civilization.

Today, they were finally reunited!

Rong Qiu looked at Fu Wu, and his heart ached upon seeing his condition. "Big Sister, I hate Si Ying as well. I hate her and everyone who hunted you down, but I don't hate the entire Tianxing Civilization.

"Furthermore, these fruits weren't involved in what had happened back then. They hadn't done anything wrong, and they should not be responsible for what had happened at the time."

Fu Wu could not stop crying. After a long while, she shook her head, and her gaze turned cold. "But what did he do wrong? He hadn't done anything wrong, but the Tianxing Civilization had insisted on treating him that way!"

"Please step aside, I'm begging you," Fu Wu pleaded.

Rong Qiu shook his head.

The four former Enforcement Officers stood resolutely in front of the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone. They shared a deep bond with Fu Wu. Even though Fu Wu had broken the divine laws back then, they had stood by her side without hesitation and fought against the Tianxing Civilization for her!

Despite that, they had never entertained the idea of destroying the Tianxing Civilization. Moreover, how could the current generation of Tianxing Fruits take responsibility for the mistakes of the previous generation?

This generation of fruits was innocent!

Fu Wu bent over in agony and exclaimed, "Please don't force my hand!"

A terrifying aura rushed out of her, but it didn't reach the four Enforcement Officers. Tears rolled down Rong Qiu's face as he looked around at the fruits of the Tianxing Civilization.

Their faces were as white as a sheet of paper, and their eyes were filled with despair. He had seen what Fu Wu had done; too many fruits had died at her hands.

Rong Qiu felt lost as he muttered, "I never thought that things would turn out like this. I'm so sorry, everyone..."

"Big Sister, I won't pressure you anymore," Rong Qiu said, turning to Fu Wu.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed as Rong Qiu's fleshly body and soul ignited before vanishing at breakneck speeds. The same thing happened to Yun Dan, who was standing next to him.

They found it difficult to be loyal and uphold their sense of justice at the same time!

They were caught between a rock and a hard place, so what were they supposed to do?

There was only one option left—death!

Yun Dan and Rong Qiu's figures became illusory in the blink of an eye.

Fu Wu was horrified. She rushed to the two fruits and pressed her right hand downward. A powerful energy instantly suppressed the flames engulfing Yun Dan and Rong Qiu.

Then, Fu Wu helped up the collapsing Enforcement Officers, shouting, "Rong Qiu, Yun Dan! I'm not going to destroy it! I'm not going to destroy the Tianxing Civilization!"

Fu Wu was trembling as she spoke.

Rong Qiu opened his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his pallid face. "Big Sister..."

"I won't destroy it! I really won't..." Fu Wu said, hugging them tightly. She turned toward Si Huo and Feng Dong nearby as tears streamed down her face. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I couldn't protect you back then."

Si Huo smiled and replied, "We've never blamed you for anything, Big Sister. It's just a shame that we can no longer steal Tianxing Life Fruits with you anymore.

"Do you still remember the fact that you always took the blame for us every time we got caught? In the blink of an eye, so many years have gone by!"

Fu Wu reminisced about the times they had spent together, and a smile tugged at her lips for the first in a long time. "Yes. It's been so many years..."

Fu Wu stood up and walked up to the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone. She knelt before it and said, "Ancestral Stone, this is all my fault. Please allow them to reincarnate and become a fruit once more."

"All right," the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone replied quickly.

Fu Wu removed her bloody veil and caressed it. The veil was his gift to her. Looking at the veil, a dreamy smile suffused Fu Wu's lips as she muttered, "We vowed to love each other for ten thousand years, and we promised that if one of us ends up dying at the nine-thousand-year mark, the other has to wait a thousand years on the Reincarnation Path for the other.

"Unfortunately, I cannot reincarnate. I'm sorry for breaking my promise, and I hope you haven't been waiting for me."

Boom!

Fu Wu's fleshly body and soul burst into flames.
