Call it a destiny or a plot Part 8

'I...…. I don't want to lose her.' Inside the room, Li Xian fell to his knees with tears falling down his cheeks. Although these weren't real tears, it still represents his emotions, just how much he loves her. At this moment, he felt something different.

Up until now, he treated her as someone whose debt he needs to return. But when Mac reminded him they were his families, not some random people traveling with him. From then, Li Xian started treating her as his own family.

And now, he has to see his family member lose herself? How can he accept it? But when he heard Mac's words, he was utterly stunned "Family, friends, lovers, there could be many people around you. But on this journey of cultivation, you are destined to lose many. You can't stop it. But you can change it."

"Don't die, you have no reasons to die. Once you survive, you can cultivate to the higher realm until when you have life and death control in your hands. Of course, I don't want you to lose anyone. On this journey, you need people to accompany you to create myth and legends because this will be a beautiful tale that you would want to tell your grandson."

'Life and Death will be in my hands?' Li Xian murmured as the tears stopped falling. Suddenly, he remembered if he dies, then she will also die but if he lives, there could be a chance to recover her.

"Boy, die!" But suddenly is thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice. Mac didn't unsheathe his sword, and instead closed his eyes and feel the wind around him. He lifted his right arm and formed a fist. Suddenly, wind gushed from behind and revolved around his fist.

He took a step forward and suddenly rolled his body in mid-air. His hands revolved around him and suddenly the wind grew high and wide, creating a giant tornado.

"Break!" "Bang" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"

Although the hurricane was big and strong, the fist filled with intense spiritual energy broke it into pieces. With a fist breaking his hurricane, Mac felt unprecedented danger from the upcoming fist.

With no choice, he summoned an insane amount of wind around his body and formed a powerful barrier to stop Jerry. But Jerry was the ninth rank Junior Martial Artist. The strength of ten tigers roared from his fist, with a little spiritual energy left on his fist, he smashed into the wind barrier.

"Bang" "Bang" "Whoosh" "Thud"

The fist pierced the wind but got many cuts on it. Tempering his skin through nine ranks, he had immense pain resistance. He didn't even feel the pain through these cuts and smashed into Mac's chest.

"Splash"

But suddenly, sword aura bloomed within the wind, sword energy was little but touched the wind and transformed it. In an instant, the wind barrier turned offensive from defensive and made a thousand cuts on his body.

But Li Xian was already punched when he took control of his body. Although he managed to injure Jerry, his body flew like a kite, slamming into the tree and falling down on the ground.

Not even a minute has passed and he was already on the brink of falling unconscious. If it wasn't for Mac who was taking damage for Li Xian in his soul, Li Xian would befall unconscious. His chest ribs were broken by the punch.

But he quickly took out a round pill and stuff it into his mouth. With a healing pill, his body started recovering very soon but it wasn't enough. Jerry could arrive any moment. So, without any hesitation, he took out a fiercy red fruit.

When Jerry saw that fruit, his eyes shrunk and he shouted in disbelieve "How can you have high-level spatial ring?"

But soon that disbelieve was replaced by greed as he muttered "Not only the power treasure but also a high-level spatial ring! Does this mean my luck is blooming now?"

He naturally doesn't consider what Li Xian was going to do with the fruit. Even after merging with Wind Spirit, Li Xian couldn't defeat him. So, naturally, he was beaming with confidence. When Li Xian had the fruit in his hand, Mac asked "Are you sure you want to do it now?"

"Elder brother, it's not me who would continue now. It's you. You said I must live no matter what, right? So, I can't put my life on others hand not knowing whether they can even make it or not."

When Mac heard him, he was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Li Xian would learn so quickly. Mac nodded his head and took control of his body. In an instant, he took a huge bite from the fruit and continued taking more bites until it's gone.

"Battle Spirit- Awaken!"

Feeling the immense energy inside his body, Mac looked up at the sky, puffing his chest, he roared. Inside his body, the immense energy rumbled out of the fruits the moment fruit arrived in his throat.

"Shit! I won't let you awaken." When he saw Li Xian awakening his battle spirit, he cursed himself for being overconfident and rushed towards him. He felt he had a made huge mistake by making such a careless mistake.

He knew Li Xian was a pure swordsman especially after he showed his Sword Aura. And he also knows Li Xian has the potential to be a spiritualist because of his spirit. But he didn't expect Li Xian would try to awaken a battle spirit.

Not everyone has talent in all scopes but some of them do have such talent. But nobody would focus on martial art and sword art at the same time knowing it would be hard to comprehend both of them in a short amount of time.

Only rare and heavenly geniuses choose such a path. After all, not everyone can comprehend a Spirit Rank Sword Art in half an hour. Even if it is only the first stage, it's still hard. When Jerry tried to get closer to him, a powerful burst of energy pushed him away.

"Thud"

Jerry fell to the ground on his chest. He spits blood out of his mouth while slowly raising his head towards Li Xian. In an instant, he started thinking of a way to stop Li Xian's awakening. His head turned left and saw Ling Tan blocking the cave where the lady in a purple gown and Luo Tang has entered.

"Whoosh"

Without wasting a single minute, he rushed towards Ling Tan. But suddenly, his pupils shrunk when Ling Tan took out the tattered tower.

"Tower Suppress!"

Sending a huge amount of spiritual energy in it, he used the Tower to suppress Jerry. But even though he was suppressed, Jerry's speed didn't decrease by much. It was only suppressed by a single realm. Until now, he was trying to find a way to use this treasure and now finally, he got away to infuse the tower with spiritual energy.

His spiritual energy erupted with a crazy amount. His entire strength focused on his arm infused with spiritual energy as he rushed towards Ling Tan.

"So, they showed all of their cards, didn't they? Then, WHY SHOULD I KEEP ONE?" Ling Tan roared erupting his spiritual energy. In an instant, a huge phantom appeared behind him. This phantom was a huge giant wearing blood-red armor, holding a hundred-meter-long halberd.

Its knees were already above most trees and its head wasn't possible to see from the ground. Its head had a red helmet on it. Its eyes and face were black, couldn't be seen. Suddenly, the giant slowly started disappearing and the red armor appeared on Ling Tan's body.

Wearing red armor, he felt immense strength surging inside his body. Feeling such strength, he gripped his hand tight on the halberd.

"Battle Spirit Unification! How can this be? How can nobody like you possess such a rare talent?" Seeing the battle spirit merging with Ling Tan, he shouted in disbelieve and anger. His eyes were red with fury and slowly drowned in anger.

"Bastard! Die! Die for me! You aren't worthy for it." Jerry felt incomparably frustrated. He knew Ling Tan was an orphan raised by a couple in a small village. When Ling Tan reached sixteen, he mysteriously awakened his battle spirit and went to the Jingui City.

But his battle spirit was rather weird. Normally, Battle Spirit is divided into four ranks; Profound, Spirit, Earth, and Heaven. Each rank has a certain number of stars on it, starting from one as lowest to nine as highest.

But Ling Tan's Battle Spirit didn't have any stars. Of course, his battle spirit could be shrunk but that giant size was its real form. Ranks are represented by the color of the star. Profound Rank would be Yellow, Spirit rank would be Black, Earth rank would be Blue, and Heaven Rank would be Purple.

Since he had not a single star, he didn't know the rank of his Battle Spirit. But he knew it was amazing. Since he could reach the fifth rank within two months. But he couldn't join any Martial Sect because his battle spirit had no ranks.

Feeling the rage burning inside Jerry, Ling Tan's unconsciously released a powerful murderous intent like a demon. In an instant, cold sweat appeared on Jerry's forehead. He looked at Ling Tan with horror but soon the anger gushed out of his eyes yet again.

The spiritual energy condensed back at his arm and he smashed his fist against Ling Tan upon reaching near him.
