Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 699 - Chapter 699 Chapter 582 Only One Can Live (Part 2)

Chapter 699: Chapter 582: Only One Can Live (Part 2) Chapter 699: Chapter 582: Only One Can Live (Part 2) Yuan Guanghai wiped away the tears on his face. He regained his composure, and his gaze became firm once again.

“Miyanori Chiyoko is right,” he thought, “with something like this happening, it’s impossible for both to survive; the only outcome is for one to die.”

And the one who died was willing to take on all the sins, with such a gesture, the other might have a chance to live.

But it was just a chance.

A chance so slim it was nearly invisible.

His eyes landed on Red Sparrow’s face, thinking about everything that had happened since they met.

If only…

Yuan Guanghai sighed heavily, turning his attention to Roger.

“Who are you?”

“I come from Hankawa, I’m a student of the Sword Master Cold Crow, Roger.”

“It’s just happenstance.”

“Where is the Spirit Skill?”

Roger didn’t want to get involved in the internal affairs of Funiu Sword Pavilion, but if the Spirit Skill fell into the hands of Tengu Shrine, it would be too disadvantageous for them.

“Have you seen this letter?” Yuan Guanghai asked.

“Letter?” Roger shook his head.

“The letter contains the Spiritual Power Prohibition of your Funiu Sword Pavilion. If I opened it rashly, it would only destroy it.”

Yuan Guanghai lowered his head.

“They’re coming soon, aren’t they?”

“Very soon.”

“Can you give me some time?”

“I want to be alone with Red Sparrow for a while, just before they arrive.”

Roger frowned.

“This is the Spirit Skill.”

Yuan Guanghai pulled out a fist-sized piece of blue stone. “I can hand it over to you.”

“Let us have our final farewell.”

Roger hesitated for a moment.

“Alright.”

As he spoke, he took the blue stone from Yuan Guanghai’s hand.

It was cool to the touch, its surface appeared to be sealed with a special Prohibition, and without knowing the method, it would probably be impossible to break in a short amount of time.

Anyway, after returning, he would be able to obtain the complete Spirit Skill from Funiu Sword Pavilion. The only reassurance he had was that since the item was here, it meant that Tengu Shrine had not succeeded.

“Red Sparrow, come with me!”

Yuan Guanghai turned and walked towards the house not far behind him.

The terrain around was open, and the house in front was as ordinary as they come. With such a distance, Roger wasn’t worried anything unexpected would happen.

“Are you giving up?”

Red Sparrow gripped her weapon tightly. “We still have a chance!” There was a glint in her eye.

“There’s no chance left. It’s over, everything is over!”

“Sword Pavilion found us first; the people from the Shrine aren’t coming.”

Yuan Guanghai looked around. “They might just be around here, quietly watching from somewhere, but this place is Sword Pavilion’s territory; they won’t start a conflict with Sword Pavilion here.”

“No, no!”

“We agreed on today, they must come today, at least keep waiting…”

“This is fate, Red Sparrow.”

Yuan Guanghai took a long breath. He opened his mouth as if to say something to the girl in front of him, but his words faltered, and he simply gave up.

“They’re here!”

Suddenly, Yuan Guanghai spoke out. Red Sparrow was startled and spun around, but just then, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind her. Before she could react, her defensive power was breached and a powerful force surged into her body.

Red Sparrow struggled to straighten herself up, her surroundings spinning wildly, and in the brief moment before losing consciousness, she saw the absolute resolution on Yuan Guanghai’s face.

“Survive well!”

“And carry on my part too.”

With the defensive power of a disciple from Funiu Sword Pavilion, if it wasn’t someone extremely close, it would not be easy to subdue them instantly.

But at that moment, Red Sparrow could do nothing, swallowed up by darkness.

Clatter.

Yuan Guanghai caught Red Sparrow’s fallen body, embraced her, then laid her gently on the ground.

Not far behind him stood only Roger, emotionless.

“Is it over?”

Roger couldn’t understand why Yuan Guanghai suddenly attacked Red Sparrow, but it seemed they had originally planned to meet with the Shrine’s people here and then try to leave Sword Pavilion’s domain.

If he had arrived a little later, and they had made contact, perhaps there really was a chance to leave this place.

Unfortunately, Roger had been too efficient.

Yuan Guanghai took one last look at Red Sparrow lying on the grass, then stood up and walked over to Roger.

“Tell Miyanori, I did what I had to do, the rest is up to her now.”

Yuan Guanghai let out a mysterious statement, and the next second, before Roger could react, he saw Yuan Guanghai’s Spiritual Power suddenly explode. Yuan Guanghai’s body shook, blood oozed from his mouth, nose, and ears.

The next second, Yuan Guanghai fell to his knees, and looking up one last time, he said, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t know!”

Then he slumped down, dead.

Everything happened so fast that Roger couldn’t understand why a single letter could drive a man, immersed in love, to recklessly embrace death.

He suddenly noticed something, lifted his head, and saw a figure appearing on the nearby hill.

Miyanori Chiyoko.

Roger immediately realized that the opening of that letter was a kind of key; the moment Yuan Guanghai read its contents, Miyanori Chiyoko had already become aware.

The next second, Miyanori Chiyoko, who had been on the hilltop, appeared before Roger’s eyes. She glanced at Yuan Guanghai’s body and strode toward where Red Sparrow had fallen.

“This is what you deserve.”

As she passed Roger, a plain book was tossed toward him.

Seeing the situation before him, Roger heaved a sigh.

“Hai!”

Just then, Red Sparrow, who had been unconscious, suddenly woke up. She sprang from the ground and upon turning around, saw Miyanori Chiyoko approaching her.

“Tea… Teacher!”

Red Sparrow’s face changed color, but quickly her gaze shifted past Miyanori Chiyoko and she saw Yuan Guanghai lying on the ground.

Feeling the cessation of life in him, Red Sparrow rushed over recklessly.

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s happened to you?”

“Wake up!”

“We agreed to face it all together!”

“Why… why would you do this?!”

She desperately tried to wipe the bloodstains from Yuan Guanghai’s face, but for some reason, the more she rubbed, the more blood seeped from the corners of his eyes.

“You’re so foolish!”

Red Sparrow suddenly lifted her head, looking at Miyanori Chiyoko not far away, “That letter was written by you, wasn’t it?”

Miyanori Chiyoko nodded.

“You committed a taboo, this is the only way to let you live.”

“Taboo?!”

Red Sparrow seemed to understand something; she bent down and pressed her forehead against Yuan Guanghai’s.

“You’re really foolish, really foolish…”

She kept repeating to herself.

“Did you think I didn’t know you were my brother?”

“But I just couldn’t control myself…”

Red Sparrow cried out loud, her scalding tears falling on Yuan Guanghai’s face, but by now the handsome man could no longer respond.

“The mistake wasn’t ours, it was the Sword Pavilion’s!”

“It’s those damn rules!”

Roger, standing not too far away, listened with a heart filled with shock.

He could never have imagined that the couple who had eloped would actually be siblings, and from that he inferred the taboo of the Sword Pavilion and the grand selection that had occurred not long ago.

Roger knew that he had unwittingly become involved in an incredibly troublesome whirlpool.

“What nonsense are you talking about?!”

Miyanori Chiyoko roared.

“Do you want to die?”

“He’s dead, I don’t want to live anymore.”

Red Sparrow gave a tragic smile.

“Kill me.”

Miyanori Chiyoko clenched her fist, “You must remember, this was all Yuan Guanghai’s conspiracy; he enticed you. Only if you acknowledge that can I help you live.”

But Red Sparrow’s gaze was vacant; it seemed she hadn’t heard a word Miyanori Chiyoko said.

At this moment, Roger wished he could turn around and run away, but he knew the best thing to do now was to not do anything.

“He died for you, now it’s your turn to live for him.”

Miyanori Chiyoko said sternly.

Red Sparrow embraced Yuan Guanghai’s body, but at that moment, it seemed she felt something, and her facial expression suddenly changed.

She stopped crying and slowly lifted her head, “Just tell me, what should I do?”

Miyanori Chiyoko’s angry expression subsided, she glanced at Roger, and he felt a jolt of fear, knowing those items in his hand might not be so easy to hold onto.

“Is there something I need to do?” Roger volunteered.

“It’s just a matter of a few words.”

Miyanori Chiyoko nodded.

Everything was taken care of.

Red Sparrow wiped her tears and slowly stood up from the ground, “Teacher, why are you saving me?”

After hesitating for a moment, Red Sparrow still asked.

“It’s nothing, you are my student, after all.”

Miyanori Chiyoko smiled.

“Haven’t I told you? You remind me of myself when I was young, just as impulsive, just as rash.”

As she spoke, Miyanori Chiyoko suddenly stopped, while Roger, standing to one side, couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.

He always had the feeling that there was some hidden message in Miyanori Chiyoko’s tone.

Maybe he was reading too much into it.
