Chapter 15 - Revenge is sweetest when served with despair

Fion’s arrow pierced through Shigi’s shoulder and he immediately vomited a mouthful of blood. He kneeled down on the ground, unable to withstand the pain.  His mind reeled with memories that happened a couple of moments earlier. What would have been a easy victory ends in utter defeat.

First, he thought about how the young master knows the secret martial arts of Yu Clan which is ‘dragon’s breath’. Even though, it’s a high rank xing grade martial art which cannot be counted as legendary, it is one of the  top martial arts in the minrah kingdom. It is absolutely forbidden to teach an outsider, any unique or secret martial arts of a clan, else it will no longer be unique. Shigi thought that the only way this youngster should have learnt this technique would be from second young master Lainshu. He actually despised him at this moment.

While he can think of a reason for why this teen knows this technique, he can’t came to a conclusion about how he executed this martial art, in a short amount of time.Even after racking his brain, he can’t think of a single reason for this. He clearly knows that, even if a person perfected this martial art, it shouldn’t be possible to execute in a short time like fion. Moreover, even the second young master Lianshu knows only the basics of the technique, so only learning from him and performing this feat, was nearly impossible.

Both regret and despair creeped up in his heart. He thought that he should have stayed in cornil village, since he had a slight doubt from the beginning that this teen should be from a huge clan. Shigi clutched his heart tightly, unable to bear the pain. Initially, he suffered severe internal injures from fion’s blow, then he used most of his Yuan Qi to carryout the martial art,now after a huge loss of blood with the shoulder injury, it’s a miracle that he was even alive.

Suddenly, he heard the footsteps of some one approaching him. He looked up and saw the same young man, who battered him to this degree.

He can see that fion was panting hardly, blood started to flow from some of his body. Even his steps were a little bit unsteady. But the rage and killing intent in his eyes didn’t decrease one bit. When he approached, shigi felt that a reincarnation of a demon beast was coming towards him.

“Why ….. Why did you fought me ? Why are you trying to kill me ? I didn’t even saw your face before, so how the hell did i offend you ? or  .. did my sons did something to you ? “ he asked a serious of questions. Even after all the mysterious surrounding this youth, the one he was most concerned about was this.

Fion saw the elder, who kneeled before him. He can clearly see that Shigi was clinging to his life by a thread. He smirked as an evil grin appeared on his face. He slightly bowed a little so as to whisper something in his ears. Then, he said some words , which shocked Shigi to the core. His whole body was trembling, but this time it was not due to pain.

“Why did you know about this …. who are you ? ….. no …. it shouldn’t  …. Impossible ” Shigi’s expression turned ugly.

Fion delighted as he very much wanted to see this expression. He laughed like a maniac which had found heaven after going through hell.

“ Who am i ? … haha … does the name ‘sera’ ring any bells in you ? ” When these words left fion’s mouth, shigi fell on the ground as he crawled.

He can easily connect the dots with this clue. Having Yu clan’s robe, knowing Yu Clan’s martial art and unique technique , Also knowing the ultra top secret of Yu clan which only 4 members in the entire Clan knows, Now when he said the name sera and going by the words, which he said earlier that his name was Fion Yuusha, he could finally figure out the person

“Fi … Fion .. is that you ? but  .. but  …. this appearance …” Shigi knows that there are several unique techniques, which can alter the appearance of a person, so he guess that fion should have used one of those techniques. He knew that fion disappeared six days ago, when he had gone to the wilderness. A slightly small commotion broke out on his disappearance, but after the apocalypse, it quickly faded since nobody really cared about him anyway.

“I never would have dreamt  he would be back with more of a genius than his previous self ” Shigi reasoned, but then, another premonition hit him, Fion should have already crippled and shouldn’t even be a cultivator, much less a monster like this youth.

“Are you really fion  … or ..  .. you are his friend or comrade ” shigi mumbled. This was also a much less likely possibility, since fion would always be  solitary, even before he lost his cultivation. He won’t even interact with others much, so how could he have a friend like this. His mind was once again in turbulence and he tried hard to figure out the identity. Fion scoffed at Shigi’s plight.

“Ha ..ha .. ha, don’t worry, i will tell you who i really am and i will even tell you all the things i encountered during these days ” Fion squatted down and began to describe the sequence of events which happened. The expression on Shigi’s face changed drastically every moment as he listened.

Several minutes had gone before fion finally finished his narration.

Shigi was motionless like a frozen statue and he remained in this state for several moments. He digested the events which fion described as he replayed in his mind. He finally recovered and looked at Fion with complex emotions.

“really , transmigration … trillions of bacteria, even different kinds … ha ha ha ., finally it was time for my Yu Clan to rise as the dominant power ” Shigi smiled at fion on which the latter disgusted on seeing it.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

“Do you know why i told you the truth” Fion stared at Shigi. The latter not even bothered to reply him as his smile never faded. This pissed off fion as this wasn’t the reaction he expected

“I am going to kill you anyway, that’s the sole reason i told you, after all a dead man tell no tales ” Fion mocked shigi but still there is no pained expression on the latter’s face. A moment of silence prevailed.

“i know , i know your intentions and, since i am going to die anyway,  i will now tell you all the details you want .. Hmmm where do i start … yes , that … It was lainshu who conspired against you this whole time, but i think you already knew this … and regarding your mother , … it was me, who abducted her during the night and  … ” Shigi stammered, hesitated to speak any further.

Fion’s rage once again rose to the extreme. He recalled that when shinshi bullied him one time, he told Fion that his father was the one who seized Fion’s mother. Not only that,  he was the first one to defile her and it continued the whole night and only on the next day, he gave custody of sera to his son. Fion heard everything from shinshi as he boasted of his fathers’s manliness while telling this.

Tears started to flow from his eyes and Fion tried his  best to control himself.

“Don’t  …. no more , i already know everything ” Fion’s trembled voice could be heard.

“ .. Huh …  ok .. but one more info , When lianshu proposed this, your father was there and didn’t even bat an eye, he just walked away and all the   elders, even the patriarch didn’t  opposed this, ….. what i am trying to say is that Lianshu was the root cause of all this and since he was also the only hope, no one interfered ” Shigi added.

His intentions were pretty obvious. Since, he was going to die anyways, he thought of bringing down everyone with him. When fion would reveal his talent to the clan ancestor,  and at that time, as long as fion wants, even the patriarch won’t get away with his life. In this world, some of the people belonging to a clan would put the development of the clan as their first priority, and to them, even if their lives and their family had to be sacrificed, they won’t blink an eye. Evidently, Shigi belonged to this group of people.

Both stared at each other for some moments. Fion sightly calmed down as he controlled his rage. But, smile never faded from Shigi’s face . Even though he was experiencing pain all over his body, he didn’t care one bit and  laughed loudly

“haha what a genius, only 16 years and already being able to battle a plasmic condensation stage expert and that too at mitogene realm….. surely my clan will rise to the heavens and you will be the one to lead it.  ” Shigi exclaimed in joy.

At that time, Fion also laughed loudly

“It’s more or less exactly like you said …. Surely, Yu clan would met it’s demise and i will be the cause of it ” Fion chuckled, covering the face with his right hand.

“Yes , Yu Clan would really …..  huh !!!  what did you say ” Shigi shrieked.

“haha, don’t worry, i will tell you once again. First, i will brutally kill all those who hurt my mother, then cripple those who bullied and beaten me, then …..   … , and after this, the Yu clan would be no more” he expressed his thoughts.

Shigi’s body trembled and ugly expression invaded his face. He didn’t care what fion said upto the point which he would cripple some guys, but after that, he can’t accept it. Fion openly declared that he wanted to annihilate the clan. It was out of the blue and Shigi totally did;t expect this declaration from fion. He thought that fion would have a grudge against only some members and after resolving his animosity, he would naturally return to the clan.

“Don’t joke around , Aren’t you a member of the Yu Clan ? Can’t you remember all the things and resources, the clan sacrificed to nurture you when you were young ?   ” Shigi tried to reason with fion, but he knows that it would only be in vain.

“haha, you say .. the clan sacrificed for me … well , From my point of view, the clan only cared for me since i was a natural genius and once i lost my cultivation, it tossed me out. It didn’t even come to my aid when i was bullied or beaten to near death. …. consider yourself lucky that you won’t be alive to see the demise” Fion grinned evilly.

Despair, ultimate despair overwhelmed Shigi and he coughed up huge amounts of blood. He knew that with fion’s talent, it was only a matter of time for him to annihilate the clan. At this time, he feared death,  he badly wants to kill fion as rage and all negative feelings were shown on his face. At least,  he thought of wanting to live until he informs his clan of the impeding calamity. He even wished that Fion would permanently cripple him and left him alive.

Fion was delighted to the extreme on seeing the despair on shigi’s face. He mumbled “What good a revenge is, if it not served with despair ” his crazy laughter filled the forest.

“Ah, .. just now i thought of a thing, …. since your son said that you were very manly  and domineering even as you aged, then let me test that phrase ” he swayed his hand and a thick red coloured crystal appeared from the space ring. It was the soul tear crystal he got from the leader of Silver eagle group.
