Chapter 684: Opportunity
Translator: YH Editor: Lucas, TYZ
Fu Sisi understood what the middle-aged man was trying to do . She stared intently at Ai Hui .
Everyone knew how Wang Shouchuan and Han Yuqin had died .
She had no doubts that his words would anger Ai Hui . The issue at hand was how Ai Hui would react . Would an enraged Ai Hui reveal some weakness or destroy them all in a frenzy? This was an extremely risky gamble, but present circumstances did not leave them with much choice .
Ai Hui was no longer the person he used to be . With a presence comparable to a Grandmaster's, he was one in level if not in name .
The power and aura he had unleashed since the start of the fight left nothing to the imagination .
All kinds of tactics were fair game in a fight against such a terrifying opponent .
The sky was deathly still and the winds had stopped altogether . A stifling pressure enveloped the entire ravine . Fu Sisi's entire body was tensed up . Her hands were balled into fists and her palms were drenched with sweat .
Ai Hui suddenly laughed madly towards the sky .
"Hahahaha, hear that? Do you hear that? Ai Hui! Hahahaha! You're a blood elementalist now, do you remember how you buried them? Ai Hui, you betrayed them! You betrayed them! That's true, you killed them with your own hands . You betrayed your own friends, and you'll eventually kill them all as well . You betrayed Shi Xueman, you'll put a sword right through her heart . You betrayed yourself, so you'll kill yourself . Hahaha, Ai Hui, you can't go back! You can't go back! Hahaha…"
The hysterical laughter was like the world's most vicious curse .
Ai Hui's body shook violently, like the surface of boiling water . His figure was blurry and looked as though it was on the verge of collapse . Ai Hui's remaining blood swords buzzed with activity, and an air of madness flowed throughout the entire area in powerful waves . The swords were like enraged wild beasts, ready to break free from their chains at any moment .
The people in the valley felt their scalps tingling with fear . They had a premonition that Ai Hui was going to descend and massacre all of them in an instant .
Fu Sisi had difficulty swallowing her saliva .
The Ai Hui they saw today was completely different from the one she had heard of . Although, a change in personality resulting from intense training was not something odd . She was a prime example herself, having changed completely after Master's Glory . She had almost no memories of her past self .
What truly shook her was the fact that Ai Hui had become a blood elementalist .
How is this possible…
The circumstances surrounding Wang Shouchuan's death by Ai Hui's hands were extremely heart-wrenching . Even though there were some who could not accept Ai Hui's actions, most people could sympathise with him and respected him for what he did .
Ai Hui saw blood elementalists as his archenemies and was at the front line in the battle against them . In a time of despair, Ai Hui practically relied on his own power to repel the armies of blood elementalists . He won the adulation of the people and became a hero in the eyes of the public . He was an idol to many youths and an inspiration to the resistance .
His reputation was so great that even Skyheart City did not dare to smear it at a whim . Fu Sisi treated him as an enemy only because they belonged to two different camps . In her heart, however, she admired him a little . It was not just her, most members of the Sky Leaf Division felt the same way too .
How did someone like that end up walking down the path of a blood elementalist?
Fu Sisi found it hard to believe even though the truth was in plain sight . Her gaze unintentionally landed upon the middle-aged man's face . Hmm? Fu Sisi stared hard .
The middle-aged man's eyes were wide open and a strange expression was apparent on his face . It looked as if he had discovered an exotic treasure but was slightly afraid of it .
The fanatical laughter suddenly stopped . An abnormally gentle voice could be heard from the fuzzy figure .
"Forget it, Ai Hui . Forget everything . All those things are useless in the face of power . As long as you are strong enough, everything in this world will belong to you . Everything . You can have all the women you want, all the friends you want . If you miss your teachers, you can bring them back to life to accompany you . Look, nothing is impossible if you're powerful enough . "
Ai Hui's silhouette became even blurrier . Even the voice started to cut off from time to time .
"Stop resisting… Ai Hui… This is futile, this is your fate . You're destined to…"
Just what was happening? Why did it seem as though two people were fighting?
Fu Sisi's brain kicked into overdrive . She suspected that the middle-aged fellow from the Assembly of Patriarchs knew what was happening . A split personality? Ai Hui was clearly in an abnormal state right now . Perhaps this was her chance .
She was not sure, but she decided to seize the opportunity anyway . They would not have any more chances once Ai Hui returned to normal .
She quietly signalled her teammates and received their affirmation .
The middle-aged man from the Assembly of Patriarchs never took his eyes off Ai Hui . As such, he did not notice the Sky Leaf Division's quiet movements . Everyone recognised the Sky Leaf Division's power because they knew that all of its members were the product of Master's Glory . What most people didn't know about, however, was the subtle chemistry that they shared with each other .
Silently, the Sky Leaf Division got into position .
Fu Sisi knew that this was their only shot at overcoming Ai Hui . She activated every last bit of heavenly elemental energy in her body in preparation for the offensive maneuver .
The rest of the Sky Leaf Division closed their eyes and suppressed their presence . They too knew that an opponent of such a high level would not leave another opening .
"What's the difference between blood elementalists and regular elementalists? When you become the ruler of this world… There won't be any difference! You like those people… It's fine, just turn them all into blood elementalists . They'll be able to live even longer… and keep you company for even longer . Doesn't it all sound amazing?"
Like a spring being compressed, Fu Sisi bent her knees slightly .
The other members did the same .
The middle-aged man noticed something odd from the corner of his eye, but he was too enthralled by the demonic voice in the sky .
"Do you want everlasting life? You'll be immortal as long as we merge! What an amazing thing, you'll be able to do whatever you want, nothing is impossible . You can…"
