Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 181 Blood Witch

More and more people gathered in the alley, almost forming a net that enveloped those in front.

As Qin Xiaochuan got closer and closer to the person in front, the person being chased suddenly leaped lightly, and in a few bounds, landed on the roof of a six-story building. Qin Xiaochuan quickly followed, and then he saw the person leap into the air, and a pair of silver wings appeared behind them. The person flapped their wings and was about to fly away.

"Bang bang bang." Several silver-white lights flashed through the air. The body in the air swayed, and several holes were torn in its spread wings. Qin Xiaochuan turned his head and saw that someone in the chasing crowd had taken out a spirit power gun and was firing at the blood witch in the air. At this time, there was no obstruction in the air, and the blood witch was simply a moving target.

The blood witch being chased clearly realized the problem and quickly folded her wings, gliding towards another deep and winding alley, obviously trying to escape the chase by using the buildings for cover.

Qin Xiaochuan jumped between floors, his eyes fixed on the fleeing figure, a mix of emotions swirling in his heart.

This was the first time he had ever considered the Blood Witch as an enemy. Before this, he had always stood on the Blood Witch's side. He was unsure what to do if he really captured her, which was why he was competing with Si Chennan. He really didn't want her to fall into the hands of other humans.

The sound of a flute suddenly rose into the night sky. The sound was quite strange; it seemed to be right next to his ear, even though it was in the open night sky. However, Qin Xiaochuan didn't think much of it. At this moment, his attention was entirely focused on the fleeing figure in front of him, so he didn't notice that those who had been chasing him were gradually being left behind.

What he didn't notice was that on the rooftop of a tall building not far from him, a woman with flowing hair was playing a flute. The last rays of the setting sun bathed her in a sharp, captivating beauty. After she finished playing, she stared in Qin Xiaochuan's direction and murmured, "I hope there's going to be a good show."

Qin Xiaochuan forgot how long he had been chasing. The setting sun faded, darkness descended, and in the dim alley, he could barely see the other person's figure anymore.

"Hurricane Blade!" A cold shout suddenly rang out from ahead, followed by a hurricane that rushed towards the fleeing blood witch, who was knocked to the ground with almost no resistance.

Qin Xiaochuan was surprised. He leaped a few times and arrived in front of the fallen Blood Witch. A man and a woman emerged from the darkness of the alley. Both were dressed in black bodysuits. The woman was aloof and beautiful, while the man was handsome and dashing. Qin Xiaochuan took a closer look and realized that it was Han Kexin and Zhou Bin.

"You guys actually came too!" Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but exclaim with delight.

"We learned that blood witches were attacking humans, so we came out to investigate," Han Kexin said coldly.

"You don't need to struggle anymore, you can't escape." Han Kexin said to the blood witch who got up from the ground and was kneeling on one knee. He was a young blood witch who looked like a thin boy, with messy hair that looked very dirty.

"That's not necessarily true." The boy sneered, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his cold eyes showing no fear whatsoever.

Silver wings reappeared behind him, and with a flap, he took flight. Han Kexin stared at him coldly, making no move whatsoever.

Just when Qin Xiaochuan thought Han Kexin was going to let the other party go, a pair of silver wings also appeared behind Zhou Bin. He soared into the sky and caught up with the fleeing boy in a short while. He captured the boy like an eagle catching a chick and threw him at Han Kexin's feet.

"You...you are..." The boy stared at Han Kexin and Zhou Bin in shock, but couldn't bring himself to say the rest.

"You killed those two girls, didn't you?" Han Kexin looked at him coldly, but he was still in shock and just stared at the two of them without saying a word.

"What, you dare to do it but not admit it?" Han Kexin asked.

"I killed them because they deserved to die. I don't regret it. I'm just unwilling to accept that the most hateful person got away," the boy said fiercely.

"Since that's the case, you should know your fate, right?" Han Kexin asked coldly, completely disregarding the other person's words.

"I know, I knew it the moment I left Crescent City. I've been waiting for this day all along. This is our destiny, isn't it?" the boy said somewhat maniacally.

"This isn't our destiny." Han Kexin wanted to explain something, but held back. Finally, she lowered her eyes and asked, "What's your name?"

"Qiu Jie".

Han Kexin looked at him coldly and said, "Qiu Jie, now that you've come to your senses, do you have anything else to say?"

Qiu Jie fell silent. He looked up at the sky, where the newly risen moon shone with a cool, clear light.

"If you can, could you please take good care of her for me? Don't let her be bullied anymore." Qiu Jie looked at Han Kexin expectantly.

"Who is she?" Han Kexin asked.

"Don't tell a timid girl named Yang Yutong about me."

Upon hearing the name "Yang Yutong," Qin Xiaochuan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Why did you attack those three girls?"

"Because they bullied her," Qiu Jie said coldly. "I promised her I would protect her."

"Do you really like her, that Yang Yutong?" Qin Xiaochuan asked.

"I don't know. Actually, I used to be a delinquent who dropped out of school early. My biggest regret in life was that I never had a relationship in school. Later, by chance, I was transformed into a blood witch. But I didn't like Crescent City. There was no hope, no ending, only endless desolation there. So I secretly slipped away from there." Qiu Jie's voice was very deep.

"But after coming to the human world, I realized I was wrong. This world was no longer the world I knew. Desolation continued to grow in my heart. I wandered from city to city like a homeless child, and then I found that the world was so big, but there was no place for me to stay."

"It's so lonely!" Qiu Jie looked into Qin Xiaochuan's eyes and said deeply, "Life doesn't really mean anything to me, even though we have eternal life. In this long life, it seems that only that regret can support me to live on. Yes, I want to fulfill that regret, and she is the girl who will help me fulfill that regret. Actually, there's no such thing as liking or disliking. I just want to have a proper relationship and to love someone sincerely."

"But you'd give up your life for her." Qin Xiaochuan tried to understand this strange boy.

"Isn't this what love should be like? If you like someone, you should go all out, even if it means risking your life. That's the most beautiful kind of love, isn't it?" the boy said excitedly.

"Not necessarily. Sometimes, ordinary love can be beautiful too," Qin Xiaochuan said calmly. He suddenly understood this boy. Once upon a time, in his youth, he had the same thoughts as him, always imagining love as something beautiful and sacred, as if he couldn't live without it.

"But our lives are already so barren. If we can't bloom brilliantly even once, what is the meaning of our existence?" Qiu Jie questioned.

This is a really pointless question, but Qin Xiaochuan can't answer it like that, because he knows that if life were really just a desolate wasteland, he would still choose to bloom brilliantly, just like fireworks.

Qin Xiaochuan looked at the boy in front of him. He was just a greenhorn who hadn't really begun to understand the world yet. But then again, what was this world really like? Was the world he knew even real? In the end, everyone was just living in their own obsessions.

He suddenly realized that the world is not simply about right and wrong. Every soul has its own unique story that needs to be listened to carefully. He felt a strong urge to judge this boy himself if he was or would be the king of that world in the past. That would be a responsible act.

"No matter what, you have made an unforgivable mistake. I will kill you with my own hands because you are guilty." Qin Xiaochuan looked at the other party coldly.
