Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 698 - Chapter 698 Chapter 582 Only One Can Live

Chapter 698: Chapter 582: Only One Can Live Chapter 698: Chapter 582: Only One Can Live The letter in his hand felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds, which Yuan Guanghai clenched tightly.

At this moment, he was filled with immense regret, regretting why he had opened the letter and seen such a despairing message.

“Fake, this must be fake!”

Yuan Guanghai’s expression turned fierce as he inwardly roared in madness, desperate to find a thousand, ten thousand reasons to deny what he saw.

But inexplicably, deep down inside, a voice akin to a devil kept telling him.

All of it was true.

“You’ve had feelings about it all along, haven’t you? You’ve just been avoiding it!”

If some questions are never pondered, they can often be deemed nonexistent, but once you become aware of the problem and start to doubt.

Truth will unfurl brutally before your eyes, like unwrapping silk from a cocoon.

“Hai!”

A concerned voice came from Red Sparrow, not far away, and once their disguises were removed, they revealed their true identities.

Yuan Guanghai was a tall, handsome young man with slightly curly hair, while Red Sparrow was exceptionally beautiful, true to her name, with bright red hair, a fuller figure than most women from Sunrise that Roger had seen, and also much taller.

Her fair skin appeared even more so against the backdrop of her red hair.

“Stay away!”

Yuan Guanghai shouted angrily.

In a brief instant, thousands of thoughts flashed across his mind, leading him to associate many things; all formerly dubious points now fell into place upon finding the answer.

“Ishida Minami is your father, and he is Red Sparrow’s father as well. I think you know what this means.”

Yuan Guanghai trembled all over, and even Roger on the opposite side grew curious as to what he had actually seen?

However, Roger was merely curious but had absolutely no intention of getting involved in such a messy affair.

“Let go of him, what did you show him?!”

Red Sparrow scolded sharply, raising the huge sword in her hand and charging at Roger.

Without glancing, Roger’s body responded instinctively, the Sword of Destiny rising up, three strikes accumulating together and then bursting forth in an instant.

Clang!

Struck by the ferocious impact, Red Sparrow stumbled backwards, retreating more than ten meters before crashing into a large tree behind her.

The tree shook violently, and the girl’s face flushed red, but after taking several deep breaths, she quickly recovered.

Roger couldn’t help but take another look at Red Sparrow.

The defensive power of Funiu Sword Pavilion was indeed exaggerated.

That instant, it seemed like he had merely counterattacked without much thought, but the three forces combined in a flash, and although they didn’t reach the full power of the Sword of Destiny’s active outburst.

But judging by the strength of the attack, it was absolutely close to the peak of the middle section.

Roger was no longer the same person he was three months ago, with thirty-three legacies converging within him, the Skill of Killing ingrained in his heart.

“I said, don’t come any closer!”

Yuan Guanghai shouted furiously, his fierce expression making Red Sparrow’s face turn very ugly.

“What did Peak Master Ishida tell you?”

Red Sparrow’s eyes reddened, her chest heaving violently, “Do you regret it? Do you regret leaving the Sword Pavilion with me, in your heart your teacher is more important than me, more important than the child in my womb!”

“Stop talking, stop it!”

Yuan Guanghai felt as if his heart had completely split open, an indescribable emotion surging to the forefront.

A mix of complex feelings.

At this moment, he wished he could die on the spot rather than face this cruel reality.

“I understand that Peak Master Ishida has always favored you, and under his tutelage, it’s highly possible that you could take over his position and reach the summit of power.”

“Heh, compared with all that, what am I?”

Red Sparrow’s face showed utter misery.

“It was me who was too impulsive. I shouldn’t have stolen that thing, I shouldn’t have clung to you!”

Hot tears streamed down as Red Sparrow drove her great sword into the ground. With her other hand, she pressed against her lower abdomen.

“Give me your answer.”

“Are you choosing to return to that prison-like place, or will you come with me, to find our own freedom and future?”

“I just want your answer!”

Yuan Guanghai’s eyelids twitched wildly; he understood Red Sparrow, this lively and free girl, like a little bird.

She was fiery, bold in love and hate; if he merely nodded, she would certainly bear all the consequences to win back a glimmer of life for herself.

This should have been an incredibly happy moment.

They were free rebels, facing pressure from the Sword Pavilion, yet with love in their hearts, they could resist unto death.

But all of it was destroyed by the harsh truth of reality.

There was no love between them.

No future.

“If Red Sparrow knew the truth, what would she do? What about the child in her womb?”

Chaotic thoughts invaded his mind, and Yuan Guanghai shook his head in agony.

“Red Sparrow, don’t be foolish, do you believe me?”

He quickly read the remaining content on the letter while he spoke.

“Snap!”

Spiritual Power burst forth from his hand, shattering the letter into dust.

He knew Miyanori’s intention.

She wanted him dead.

Their forbidden love was a minor issue; what was really at stake was another secret, not expressly stated in the letter, but which Yuan Guanghai had already guessed.

Some things are like a thin layer of paper.

Once pierced through…

After this incident, it had become almost impossible for the two of them to survive, as they had been living in fear for days.

If they could not return to the present world, then being found by the Sword Pavilion was just a matter of time.

At that point, the only fate awaiting them would be death.

But in this certain-death situation, there was also a faint glimmer of hope.
