Master,are you leaving?

At this moment Tai Jian was exhausted. He couldn't even lift his two hands properly and was only hanging on due to his strong willpower." I never thought that someone could be hiding in this place," Tai Jian said with a cold expression. His heart was already dead so he had already given up on life as there was nothing left that was worth living for. The middleaged man stared at Tai Jian with a complicated expression. At thus moment, Qin Wushuang walked out from the base of Tai Jian's army with a smile on his face. He stared at the middleaged man with a smile on his face." Brother,you have raised a sharp and stable sword," the middleaged man said as he turned to stare at Qin Wushuang. Qin Wushuang sighed when he heard his brother's words. Tai Jian could not comprehend what was going on and turned to stare at his father. His father sensed his gaze and gave him a reassuring smile but his eyes portrayed a different emotion. For the first time Tai Jian felt that he had never understood his parents let alone his father. They were both shrouded in a layer of mystery that he could not peel off no matter how hard he tried." Indeed unfortunately he has already lost but I hope you will keep your promise," Qin Wushuang said. No one on the battlefield understood what was going on." What is happening?" Someone blurted out. This was what everyone present wanted to answer." Let me introduce myself first. I am Qin Ling Tian," the middleaged man said. No one could remain calm after the middleaged man revealed his name. Qin Ling Tian, a man believed to be dead more than fifty years ago turned out to be still alive. How can they not he shocked. For these warriors who have passed through many life and death challenges and were able to survive till now, there were very few things that could shock them. When speaking of legends then Qin Ling Tian was an example of a living legend. Those who have lived for more than fifty years definitely understand the terror brought by this name and even till now his name is taboo to most people especially the old officials. To those who know the story they will remember the bet at the top of mount Kunlun on the sky pagoda. Two swordsmen who were known as the geniuses of their era failed to decide who was the best in their era and so they made a bet. Not that they fought and the fight ended in a draw rather they could not fight each other. It would've been better if the two were strangers who had never met and were crowned as geniuses of an era but what if the two were friends? What if the duo were more than friends and that they were brothers? How do you expect brothers to face each other? The duo had reached a bottleneck in their cultivation and so they could only fight to the death so as to stimulate their potentials and to see who would be the leading in their era but unfortunately they failed to point their swords at each other's neck so they played a game. A game of chess to decide the winner. In this game of chess, the continent was the chessboard and the people of the continent as the chess pieces. The battle of the duo took place and finally after fifty years they were now ready to face each other to decide who won the game. Tai Jian had heard of this and it could be said that he wished to have been born in such an era but he didn't think much of such a game as he felt it was out of his league. Tai Jian stared at the two with a smile on his face." Brother, it has been a long time," Win Ling Tian said with a cold smile on his face. It was as if they were experiencing a reunion of old friends but Qin Wushuang knew that his brother was play a mind game with him. He was trying to set him up with Tai Jian. Unluckily Qin Wushuang state of mind had reached an unfathomable level. Tai Jian never thought that the father that he was always proud of turned out to be a heartless man. He was inwardly happy when he heard that his father was one of the two geniuses of the previous era but thinking about his dead wife Tai Jian's heart turned cold. It turns out that he was just a useful chess piece. Maybe his mother knew this and this was why she named him Tai Jian. A sword to be used by his father and it seemed that he had served his part as a useful chess piece. Tai Jian was disappointed by this revelation and for a moment he was at a loss. If before his heart had merely alternated between turning cold and warm it was now cold and devoid. He had lost all touch and emotions. He stared at his father with a cold expression on his face." Is mother part of this?" Tai Jian asked. Qin Wushuang sighed at this and did not even turn to stare at his son. It felt as if he was facing an insignificant being who was not worthy of his attention." You should rest," Qin Wushuang said as he stared at Qin Ling Tian." Wushuang, father named you that because he wanted you to be unmatched. He wanted you to be peerless and fearless. Unmatched in martial arts and status," Ling Tian. Qin Wushuang just smiled at this." Ling Tian, father wanted you to soar to the heavens and reach the highest peak possible. Unfortunately we were born in the same era," Qin Wushuang said. No one could disagree with what they said as they didn't know the inside story. They only continued watching the confrontation between the duo and did not notice that Tai Jian had already left dragging his broken body apart from the purple robed emissary and Xue Kai. As Tai Jian's friend, Xue Kai knew that he was badly hurt not only physically but emotionally. In just a few hours he had lost everything. He lost his wife and then realised that he has been living a deceitful life all along. After working so hard so as to protect his family and loved ones he still lost. While everyone was happy that he had won against Di Yi which gave his father the confidence to face Ling Tian but he has lost. He had lost in the day that he decided to get involved in this game. The moment he decided to become a chess player in this game of chess between his father and Qin Ling Tian he had already lost. They were just the extension of the game that was supposed to end fifty years ago. Tai Jian went back to the tent where he had left Tie Hongchen's body. He sheathed his two swords and knelt before Toe Hongchen. He lifted her off the ground and carried her in his arms after which he left while dragging his broken body. His eyes were lifeless and he had lost all hope." Master, are you leaving?" Xue Kai intercepted Tai Jian and bowed before him.
