Ye Fan looked stern, and his eyes burned with anger.

The things that Tang Yun did have undeniably hurt him.

Holding a sword in his hand, Ye Fan exuded a murderous aura.

Yet, Tang Yun remained silent the whole time as she lay weakly on the ground before him, even after he spat at her angrily.

Her pretty and delicate face seemed expressionless, and she did not retort nor struggle.

It was as though she had already accepted her fate.

I guess today will be the last day I'm alive.

In the past, Tang Yun ever wondered what it would be like when she fell.

She came up with thousands of scenarios, but she never expected that Ye Fan would be the one who would kill her.

Regardless, she had no regrets even if she left the world there and then.

After all, she was able to experience everything she could ask for in life. She knew what it was like to have strength, power, wealth, glory, love, and hatred. Therefore, she did not think she lived her life in vain.

Perhaps, the only thing she might regret was being unable to see her child grow up into an adult.

"I hope your father takes good care of you," Tang Yun whispered and slowly closed her eyes.

She could hear the sword getting closer, and she pictured her throat getting sliced open the next second.

As a dignified lady, she held no fear even in the last moment of her life.

She felt calm as she edged closer to the end of her time on earth.

"It's over," Ye Fan muttered, his voice deep and cold as though he was a grim reaper, announcing the death sentence of the head of the Chu Sect.

Swoosh!

As his energy surged, Ye Fan swung his sword toward Tang Yun.

"No!" Meng Wanyu fell to her knees, wailing.

"You dare to end the life of the Chu Sect's leader?" Chu Zhengliang roared.

"You b*stard, stop!" The head of elders of the Chu Sect watched the scene in tears.

"Stop! How could you kill Ms. Tang?"

Thousands of disciples of the Chu Sect started to wail and sob.

Distressed screams and whimpers could be heard.

Despite so, Ye Fan turned a deaf ear to them.

He did not stop.

With her life flashing before her, the beautiful and extraordinary woman accepted her fate in peace. Tears flowed down Ye Fan's cheeks before dropping to the ground as he went through with his motion.

Silence followed.

Keeping his sword, Ye Fan turned to walk away, leaving behind the woman in a pool of blood.

Strands of her hair floated in the air before being carried off by the wind.

After a long while, Tang Yun, who thought she was dead, opened her eyes.

In shock, she stared at the back of the man who was holding the sword.

"W-Why?" she stammered. "Why didn't you kill me?"

She looked stunned as she blurted her question in confusion.

Clearly, she did not expect things to end this way.

She could not believe that Ye Fan spared her life.

When he swung his sword at her, he shifted it to only slice through her hair at the last second.

He did not end up taking her life.

Hearing the surprise in Tang Yun's tone, Ye Fan shook his head and chuckled. "Perhaps, it's because of the lady named Yu Yun. At the end of the day, I can't seem

to be as ruthless as you."

As he spoke with a wry smile on his face, he found that his anger from before had dissipated.

When her sword pierced through his arm earlier, he thought he could disregard the beautiful memories he shared with her and end everything.

However, when he wielded his sword and saw how Tang Yun welcomed her death with closed eyes, it reminded him of the past. Like before, she looked like a fairy shedding tears, and his heart ached for her.

It felt like someone important and close to him would be leaving him forever.

At that moment, his heart softened, and he decided to spare her life.

Even though Tang Yun used her sword against him several times, he could not bear to use his on her.

Great-grandma was right. I have always been an indecisive individual.

With that thought in mind, he turned and walked away.

Meanwhile, Tang Yun quietly stayed on the ground for a longtime.

Deep down in her heart, she felt a tsunami-like wave of emotions hitting her, and it took a long time before she could recover.

There was always a person who never failed to amaze others, and there were always words that could tear down one's pretenses.

No one could understand the complicated emotions Tang Yun was feeling at that instant and how touched she felt.

"It's not a wise move to keep her alive. Are you sure about your decision? I would advise you to kill her. Otherwise, you might be digging your own grave," Moon God warned.

Seeing how Ye Fan stopped himself from taking Tang Yun's life, Moon God could not help but frown.

Yet, Ye Fan shook his head without hesitation and replied, "Forget it. She isn't wrong anyway. After all, everyone has something they would risk their lives to protect. For me, it's my family and friends. I guess for her, it's the Chu Sect. Neither of us is at fault. The only problem is that we have differing views. Besides, a person who would do anything to protect her dreams deserves my respect." Although there was a faint smile on Ye Fan's face, the pain in his tone was palpable.

"Eigetsu, thank you. I'm grateful that you are by my side whenever I'm lonely and need help. I don't have many people in my life, and I am most honored to have met you. However, if I encounter any issues later, please do not bother to help me and leave by yourself. I'm already thankful to have reached this stage of my life. From now on, I have to lead my life myself."

Ye Fan glanced at Moon God while grinning.

He did not care if he was hurt or covered in bruises and injuries. Even if he had to face the strongest monster, he would always act calmly.

It was likely the trait that impressed Suzumiya Eigetsu the most.

He would not run away, even when he was facing terrifying situations or opponents.

Suzumiya Eigetsu could still recall the summer when the man relied solely on his courage, charging alone upon Japan's sacred mountain. With a gun and a horse, he saved her from thousands of armored soldiers.

He fought for her, with little regard for his life, based on the wish to bring her out to watch the sunrise.

Sometimes, Suzumiya Eigetsu felt she had the greatest master in the world. However, there were times she thought he was like a foolish teenager.

People who fought such bloody battles for a woman typically wanted to take her as their wife.

Yet, he fought only to accompany her to watch the sunrise.

She thought it was such a loss.

Only a fool like him would do something like that.

While Moon God was in a daze, Ye Fan turned away.

He raised his sword in the air again with the intent to kill.

Glaring at Chu Zhengliang, Ye Fan seethed, "Uncle Liang, let's settle our scores. Tang Yun has fallen, so who else can save you?"

Slash!

In the heat of the moment, Ye Fan swung his sword angrily.

He pointed his sword at the point between Chu Zhengliang's brows.

In response, Chu Zhengliang was horrified, and he ran toward the Chu residence like a mad man, screaming for help. "Dad, please save me!" He pleaded repeatedly.
