Lord Shadow

Even Old Dragon Li could not say he was stealing the martial art manuals that he got. The Flowing Swords Arts that Azief had demonstrated that day was an improved version of the Flowing Sword Arts

It is more unpredictable and freer and have come infinitely close to the pinnacle sword arts in the martial arts world.

After that, he began attacking.

On top of that flat hill in Fangling, he fought the three grandmaster.

Immortal Tian technique is pure and its seems to unify many concepts of martial arts technique. Old Dragon Li technique on the other hand is forceful and overbearing while Demonic Monarch Xie technique is lethal but is filled with conviction and will power.

Demonic Monarch Xie is young and is still filed with that recklessness attitude. But it is because of that recklessness, he possesses a vigor that the other two grandmasters did not posses

Most of the famous martial artist in the world of martial arts was there that day. Everyone had known that the Sword God had come down to Fangling after that event on the imperial city of Zhou.

And none of them regrets coming to watch it. In that battle he injured Immortal Tian forcing him to almost die.

With one palm strike he broke Old Dragon Li bones that is said to be as sturdy as steel. And when he clashed his sword with Demonic Monarch Xie, Azief sword slice the Demonic Monarch famous sword, Life Reaper into two and he inflicted severe injury toward the Demonic Monarch

The conclusion of the battle was shocking but once again solidify the position of the Sword God as the strongest under heaven, the Number One Swordsman in the World.

Sword God had defeated three grandmasters. This battle once again increases his fame inside the martial arts world.

This time he fought the three grandmaster without even getting up from his wheelchair.

He injured Immortal Tian because his scheme involved his disciple whether he intended it or not.

Thus, he injured him as repayment

And the death of Xi Feng disciple would not happen if Old Dragon Li did not show him the Flowing Sword Arts and initiated the chains of events that happens afterward

Of course that does not really make sense. But it doesn’t have to. Since Azief wanted to injure him, then he must make an excuse.

Truth was, he just hated the fact that the Old Dragon Li refuse his disciple before. Thus he injured him.

As for Demonic Monarch Xie, Azief just didn’t like the guy. He is too reckless, to arrogant and too self-absorbed with his ambition. Those who are so self-absorbed in one ideals would be consumed by it.

And in the end, what remains is a perversion of the ideals.

Recklessness could be forgiven, and arrogance could have its pros but only if the arrogance is backed by abilities. An arrogant person without the ability to back it up is nothing more than a bluff.

Was it fair for him to lay the blame of Old Dragon li and Immortal tian? No, it is not. But whoever said Azief was a man that could be persuaded by reason?

He did what he wants. Whether he want to give excuse or not, that is his prerogative and not for others to ponder.

Azief opens his eyes for a while and he was back there, on the trails of the Temple of Xi. He smiles bitterly at himself. Now that he is close to the end, he could not help but reminisce about the past events that had happened.

He stops reminiscing for a while to look at the surrounding around him

The winds of winter blows around him once again. The creaking of the wheelchair is slowly overcoming the sound of the wind.

And the snows still keep falling. He did not like snow. It reminds him of her. It still feels like this no matter how many years has pass for him in this world.

A snowy day reminds him of her and each time it makes his heart ache. Sometimes he ask himself in his lonely days looking at the moonlight or when the snows falls.

Why is love so hard? He would ask.

There are times when he misses her. He remembers the feel of her white hands when he holds it. There are times when he felt like he shouldn’t let her go like that.

The connection between them is unnatural. He doesn’t know how to explain it. His heart ache when winter comes. But when spring comes, he misses the winter and the white snows

Sometimes he asks himself

Would he be able to erase her from his heart? He did not know her for long. But for some reason, he just could not forget her.

In his heart and in his mind, she is there. And every winter, she is there, in every snowflake, in every winter winds that blows.

He tries not to think of her. But every time winter comes, his mind and his heart, no matter how hard he tries, would miss her.

And even Xi Feng had noticed there is something weird about him when winter comes. Xi Feng did not come for lesson every time he looks at the snow that falls.

Azief once read a report from the Order of Thinkers that after the Fall, humans that evolved and reach high levels of power would also have heightened emotions

Thus, he hated winter, but miss it when spring comes. He sighed. He shakes his head trying to shake off this gloom feeling in his heart.

Then he asks

‘We’re close? he ask to Xi Feng. Xi Feng nodded while he sis till pushing the wheelchair forward.

It must be tiring but not once his disciple complained pushing him upwards through the snowy trails of the Temple.

Xi Feng reply to his question

‘Yes, master. We are close. It will not be long now. We are slowly approaching the Thirteen Steps of Gods and Devils’

Azief nodded. This is the reason why Azief believes that the answer to his question would be found here.

This is why he believe the conclusion of his journey in this world will end in the Temple of Xi. The more he reads about this Temple the more he believes in it

‘The Thirteen Steps of Gods and Devils’ he muttered underneath his breath
