Someone Is Always Getting in the Way of Danika Finding Love

Qiuyuan withdrew his fingers and turned to deal with Danika.

Then applause came from the smoke and dust.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this power is indeed formidable, no wonder you are the Sword Immortal."

As the dust settled, Christopher stood unharmed in the center of the crater created by the giant sword.

He now had a dark red cloak covering him.

The tip of the greatsword hovered three feet above his head, firmly held in place by the shield, unable to be pressed down even an inch further.

Qiuyuan frowned, said no more, and drew his sword to charge.

The moment the longsword collided with the red shield, a blinding white light exploded, and the shockwave sent the surrounding shattered stone slabs flying.

The two men were locked in combat, and each exchange of blows shook the mountain gate.

Danika's gaze returned to Kexi.

Kexi was lying on the pile of rubble not far away, trying to prop herself up with her trembling arms.

She strode toward him, her five fingers spread wide, the tips glowing with a dark red light.

"Brother Kexi, stay by Danika's side forever."

Now no one will stop her, right?

whee.

However.

Yangyang rushed in from the side.

Blood still clung to the corner of her mouth from the earlier impact, but she held her sword firmly in her hand.

She didn't speak, but simply stood between Kexi and Danika, using her body to form the last line of defense.

Danika was annoyed; why was someone interfering with her again?

Danika didn't even look at her.

Her hand pierced precisely into Yangyang's chest, so quickly it was as if Yangyang had run into it herself.

Blood splattered on Danika's black skirt, on Kexi's face, and in his pupils, which had suddenly widened in fear.

"Yangyang--! No!!!"

The Yangyang fell down very slowly.

Her sword slipped from her hand and clattered to the stone slab.

Then her knees bent, and her body fell backward.

She lay on the ground, her eyes still open, staring at the sky, blood beads clinging to her eyelashes.

Kexi climbed over to Yangyang and grabbed her hand.

That hand was still warm.

He called her, but she didn't respond.

He called her "Junior Sister," but she didn't respond.

His hands were trembling, his whole body was shaking, and tears mixed with the blood on his face streamed down.

Danika gave him no time to grieve.

She continued walking forward.

Hehe, soon Kexi will be able to stay by my side forever.

Now no one will stop her, right?

However.

Suisui lunged at them from the other side.

She rushed between Kexi and Danika, spread her arms, and used her body to shield Kexi behind her.

There was no fear on her face, only a cold, unwavering resolve.

"If you dare touch him, you'll have to step over my dead body first—"

Danika was annoyed again.

Not again?

Danika's hand pierced through her chest.

Suisui glanced down at the arm that had disappeared into her chest cavity, her lips moved slightly, and then she began to shrink, landing as a rag doll.

"Fourth Senior Sister--! No!! No--!"

Kexi's roars no longer sounded like human voices.

He knelt between the rag doll and the corpse, holding Yangyang's gradually cooling hand in his arms, with Suisui transformed into a rag doll in front of him.

His voice was hoarse from shouting, and there were no more tears in his eyes, only a pair of pupils trembling violently with grief and anger.

He asked himself again and again, why? Why was he so weak? Why couldn't he protect them?

Danika knelt down in front of Kexi, extended her glowing hand, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then felt relieved.

Hehe. Is nobody here this time?

Brother Kexi, you're mine now.

Then Jinhsi flew over.

Grass!

Danika got up and slapped hard with one paw.

Jinhsi didn't even have time to call out "Brother Xi" before she flew through the air like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a stone pillar at the mountain gate and sliding softly to the ground, her fate unknown.

"Now there's no one here, right?" Danika tilted her head and stretched out her hand again.

"Hehe, Brother Kexi, you're mine now."

However.

A sword light slashed down from mid-air.

Danika was so startled that she jumped back a considerable distance.

Qiuyuan witnessed everything that happened during the fight, and a crack finally appeared on his perpetually icy face.

She forced Christopher back with a single sword strike, then raised her hand and beckoned towards Danika.

Another giant sword descended from the sky, this time faster, more ruthless, and without mercy.

The greatsword pierced through Danika's back and protruded through her chest, pinning her to the stone floor.

Then Qiuyuan also had a hole in her chest.

Taking advantage of her momentary distraction, Christopher's palm pierced through her protective sword aura, entering from her back and exiting through her chest.

When he pulled his hand out of Qiuyuan's chest, blood was still dripping from his fingertips.

Qiuyuan looked down at the wound on her chest, then looked up at Kexi, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something.

Then she fell from mid-air.

"No! Master!!!"

Watching that beautiful figure plummet from the sky, Kexi screamed in despair.

He scrambled to Qiuyuan's side, his knees slamming into the gravel, the sharp edges of which tore his trouser legs, but he felt nothing.

He knelt before her, his hands hovering in mid-air, afraid to touch her, as if he feared she would shatter if he did.

Qiuyuan, supporting her increasingly weak body, could barely make out the person in front of her and let out a weak, self-deprecating laugh.

"So... I can die too?"

"Master! Master! You won't die, you're so powerful--"

His voice trembled, his whole body trembled, and tears dripped onto Qiuyuan's clothes, soaking into a small patch of water.

Qiuyuan weakly raised her hand.

This single movement exhausted her last bit of strength; her hand trembled several times in the air before finally touching Kexi's cheek.

"You know what? All these years, I never imagined that someone would intrude into my heart and become my inner demon." Her voice was very soft, so soft that Kexi had to hold her breath to hear it.

Kexi didn't know what she was talking about.

He couldn't understand any of it; all he knew was that she was bleeding, her eyes were losing focus, and her hands were getting colder and colder.

He grasped her hand that was pressed against his cheek, pressing it desperately, trying to transfer warmth to her, trying to snatch her back from the clutches of death.

"Master, you'll be alright, you'll be alright..."

Qiuyuan gently stroked his cheek with her thumb, making a final plea. "Can you call me... Yuan'er?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Kexi's breath hitched for a moment, then he heard his own voice squeeze out of his throat, as soft as if he were calling a name that would shatter.

"... Yuan'er."

Qiuyuan closed her eyes contentedly.

The hand that had been pressed against his cheek lost all its strength, slipped from his grasp, and fell silently onto the gravel beside her.

No--!! No--! No--!

Kexi, holding Qiuyuan's slipping hand, looked up to the sky and roared, her voice like that of a trapped beast driven to the brink of despair.

His tears fell onto her face, but she would never open her eyes again.

A faint smile lingered at the corners of her lips, so faint it was like the last unmelted frosty layer on the snow.

Christopher watched this scene from a short distance away.

He exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "It's truly touching. These are just fictional characters, yet they evoke such deep emotions in you."

Kexi gently placed Qiuyuan's hand on the ground and stood up.

His hair was once again engulfed in dazzling gold, cracks appeared on his skin, and his fists were covered with a layer of brilliant, jewel-like light.

Several translucent jellyfish emerged from behind him, their tentacles slowly drifting in the air, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

The previously dormant system also issued a warning at this moment.

[Host, using three Resonance Ability simultaneously will tear your body apart!]

"I can't care about anything else anymore!!!"

Kexi's body shot out before her brain could, and the jellyfish shot towards Christopher like lightning.

His fist, carrying the combined force of three resonating impacts, slammed into Christopher's red dome, causing it to tremble violently and develop unprecedented cracks on its surface.

One punch, two punches, and on the third punch, the shield finally gave way and burst open, the fragments turning into red specks of light in the air. His fist finally slammed into Christopher's mask.

Christopher stumbled back several steps, and a very fine crack appeared on his mask.

He reached out and touched the crack, tilted his head, and then opened the book in his hand.

More chains poured out from the pages of the book, so numerous they almost blotted out the sky. The chains wrapped around Kexi's arms, legs, and neck from all sides, forcibly pulling him down from mid-air.

The jellyfish's radiance dimmed under the strangulation of the chains.

The golden cracks spreading across the skin are not a symbol of power, but a signal that the body is unable to withstand the cumulative resonance and is beginning to disintegrate from the inside out.

He crashed to the ground, scattering rubble, and the golden light emanating from his body gradually faded.

It's over.

It's all over.

Chisa and Changli were turned into rag dolls, Aemeath died, Yangyang died, Suisui died, and Qiuyuan also died.

The power he unleashed only added a tiny crack to Christopher's mask.

He's really going to die here today.

No one can save him now.
