one last battle
And then...
a great war began.
Swords clashed.
Blood was spilled.
Mo Yan and Yu Sui stood their ground, side by side.
They fought with everything they had.
Because now.....Yu Sui was with Mo Yan.
And just as the ancient mantra foretold:
"As long as Mo Yan stands beside Yu Sui, no curse can ever touch him."
And it was true.
Yu Sui's curse vanished completely
as long as he remained within Mo Yan's presence.
But the moment Yu Sui stepped outside the mantra's radius,
the effect was broken
and he transformed once more into the Grandmaster of Black Heaven.
Dark shadows began to swirl around him.
A chill spread in every direction.
Everyone backed away in fear.
That's when Master Rong and Shen Jichuan,
who had silently crept close to Mo Yan,
began chanting a secret incantation.
And suddenly,
Mo Yan's spiritual energy began draining
slowly, painfully.
His body trembled,
his breath hitched.
He coughed up blood, collapsing to his knees.
Yu Sui saw it.
And in that moment
his fury erupted once more.
With a single, devastating strike
he eliminated both Master Rong and Shen Jichuan.
Gone.
Like they never existed.
He then rushed to Mo Yan,
caught his falling body in his arms.
With trembling strength, he lifted him.
And even as Mo Yan bled and gasped in pain
his eyes reflected peace.
For the first time in years,
his heart felt light
as if the unbearable weight
he had carried for so long
was finally gone.
