The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 488: Chapter 488: A Step Too Late

The silver needles suspended in the air were particularly dazzling and cold under the sunlight, Han Qingjue’s heart felt like it was being carved with knives, she felt like she was on a path of no return, leading her to an unseen future.

Suddenly, she felt a twinge of regret, regretting that she had been wrong from the very start. Yes, the one who harmed Yun Peng was her, and no one else. She always believed she was the one who loved him the most.

But now, she had harmed the one she loved the most in such a way.

Han Qingjue was scared, truly very scared, afraid of the day he would learn the truth and gaze at her with eyes as cold as ice.

She had seen Yun Peng’s eyes when he looked at Xia Ji, eyes cold as venomous hatred, freezing with a grudge embedded into bones. Xia Ji disregarded such gazes, for she had no heart.

But she had a heart, her entire heart, all her love, was dedicated to Yun Peng alone.

But now, she had personally pushed him into an abyss.

”No, don’t—” Han Qingjue suddenly shouted, but at that moment she watched helplessly as the ten Soul Stabilizing Needles plunged into Su Yu’s body; her body went limp, collapsing to the ground.

”Alright, if you want to take him back, then take him back. I wish you, all your heart’s desires fulfilled,” Xia Ji chuckled lightly, wrapping her arm around Ling Yue’s, she looked up and laughed coquettishly at him, ”What to do? I’ve disappointed you again. After all, he is my son. Let’s let him go this time.”

Ling Yue gazed lovingly at Xia Ji’s smile, ”No matter how important the world is, it’s not even half as dear as Xia’er to me. A mere Spirit Flame Sect, I don’t even regard it! Even if I unify the Spirit Cultivation Realm, wouldn’t it still be to win your heart?”

”Annoying~” Xia Ji extended her finger, poking Ling Yue’s chest.

”Hahaha,” Ling Yue laughed heartily, encircling Xia Ji’s slim waist, the two just left like that.

Han Qingjue weakly moved forward to embrace Su Yu’s body full of wounds, tears incessantly flowed down. This was her life, the first time in her ten years knowing him, she was so close, and for the first time seeing him injured like this.

This was all her fault.

But she couldn’t turn back, never able to return.

”Yun Peng, I’m sorry.” Han Qingjue bowed her head, tears falling onto Su Yu’s face, ”I will take you back to the Spirit Flame Sect now. From now on, all the conflicts in this world will be unrelated to you. You will be the Sect Leader of the Spirit Flame Sect, still a legend in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, all past events are gone.”

——

By the time Han Jing and Lan Ling came back, the place was already deserted.

On the rock where they stood, there were only a few scant, pitifully few dried spots of blood.

”Su Yu, Su Yu—” Han Jing shouted madly, but no matter how she called, there was not a trace of response.

Han Jing knelt on the sparse bloodstains, she was still too late, still returned too late.

Her strong internal will, allowed her to break through limits at the crucial moment to reach Spirit Cultivation Level, simultaneously triggering all of her Fire Ability within, forcefully breaking through the barrier Su Yu had sent them back through, then rushed back desperately, yet still arrived a step too late.

”Mirror, don’t be like this, our old big bro is definitely still alive, that old hag wouldn’t kill him. Trust me, he’s definitely still alive. Let’s go back first, when my master arrives, I’ll have him take you to the Spirit Cultivation Realm to find our old big bro, okay?”
