The stench of blood is permeated in the air, this is due to the countless dead bodies both of human and demon beast scattered all over the ground.
roar of countless demon beast can be heard echoing from every direction around the city.
like a trumpet that marks the destruction of Glory City.
with the hundreds of millions demon beast hoard manage to broke in the city wall, all the expert within the city is no longer fighting to keep the Glory city safe from the Demon beast.
Instead they we're fighting to buy some time for the people to espcape the onslaught of demon beast claw.
for the others they already gave up all hope of escaping with their lives.
With the destruction of Glory City, where could they even run? The outside world, where even more demonic beasts lay in wait to maul them?
With that in mind some of the people in Glory city just didn't bother to resist or run, they just stood in there place and wait for the Demon beast to tear them apart.
Afterall, why bother resisting anyway, with the Glory City is gone there's no any safe place in outside world they can run to.
Since for this people, death is inevitable, they didn't bother to struggle, at least, they won't extent their sufferings.
While the Glory city is being shook by all the roar of the demon beast continue, this cause some of rubbles of the building to collapse, some of those infrastructure are built from the very beginning of glory city.
yell of various people From all walk of life can be heard around the city, some were running for their lives trying to escape the claw of demons beast.
while the fighters and demon spirualist is heading toward the horde of demonic beast, not to stop the demon beast to further destroying the city, but to buy some time for the people to run into safety, if there's any they could find to.
One of those people is Xue Hui a fifteen to sixten years old boy, who's desperately tailing the back of one of the black gold rank expert of Divine Family, Elder Chen Fe.
When the news of demons beast horde successful broken in to the weatern wall of the glory city, and started to massacre all the people within the city wall.
Chen Zhenlong the patriarch of Divine Family and the father of the only Princess of the family, Chen Linlin.
Had asked his brother to leave the fight against the countless of demonic beast with him, and had asked his younger brother Chen fe,
to rush back to the Divine Family mansion, to accompanied his wives and daughter to escape the Glory city, witnessing the destruction of demon beast horde inside the city.
the two Black Gold rank demon spirualist of Divine family knew that they already lose the entire glory city to the demon beast.
With that, they also knew that the only way to survive the onslaught of the demon beast, is to escape the Glory city and run to St. Ancestral mountain range where hopefully find a place to hide into.
At first Chen Fe resist the idea and argue that Chen Zhenlong himself should be the one who run and escape with his Family.
but Zhenlong could only shook his head and insist that he need to stay and fight the demon beasts, to stop the horde as much as he can, to ensure that the remaining people has enough time to escape the city.
"As the patriarch of the Divine Family, one of Glory City's three great families, how could I, Zhenlong, abandon the people of Glory City?"
Zhenlong has an unyielding determination in his eyes, when he uttered those words to his brother.
Zhenlong already knew that he wont be coming out in this fight alive and only wish for his brother to accompany his wives and daughter to escape the city.
Seeing this, Chen Fe could only nodded his head and resolved himself by turning his back away from the fight ignoring the sounds of carnage from the fight.
living his older brother to engage to a life and death battle against the countless demon beast who still trying to force their way in to the City.
But fate shows no mercy to those who try to go against it.
the moment chen Fe arrived the now ruined mansion of Divine Family, the entire building has been long destroyed, countless bodies of his clansmen had scattered all over the place, some we're in one piece but most of them is in pieces.
Chen fe couldn't even recognize some of them, with how gruesome the demon beast tear them apart.
Walking around, Chen fe heart momentarily stop, when he saw the the upper part of Chen Yinying body sprawled on the ground, her lower part is missing.
Chen fe knee almost buckle from the sight, seeing how her sister-in-law who usually wear a good nurtured disposition had suffer a gruesome end.
Chen fe shook his head and immediately continue his search, he tried and failed but couldn't find his other sister in law, and could only wish that she is still alive somewhere.
Giving up on looking for his elder brother wife, Chen Fe rush to the direction of his only niece resident, knowing that the young lady of the divine family doesn't like to go out and leave her resident.
But before he could step in to the courtyard of his niece resident.
his ears heard a commotion nearby somewhere in nort side of their Territory.
a demon beast is wrecking havoc to that direction.
Chen Fe stop for a moment, since he was that under the noises of the demon beast, he was sure that he just heard a faint sound of someone struggling against the beast relentless attack.
Chen fe eyes widened when he recognized, who's those voice belong to, turning his heel at the direction of the commontio.
the black gold rank demon spirualist didn't hesitate to run toward the sorce of the voice, knowing that if Xue hui is there, his niece will also there with him.
After all if there's one thing everyone in divine family, certainly knew about the adopted servant of Chen Zhenlong,
Is that Xue hui is extremely loyal to Chen Linlin.
Firmly clutching the weapon in his hand, Chen Fe jump to the roof, maneuver himselt to land on a perfect angel, that would give him a wide opening for attack, his aim is the back of the demon beast.
Using the ledge of the roof his just landed on, Chen Fe pushes his leg with all his might, to send himself right at the back of the demon beast,
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH EVEN THE SINGLE STRAND OF MY NIECE'S HAIR, WITH YOUR FILTHY CLAW, YOU FOUL BEAST" Chen Fe roar upon seeing that the beast was about to grab the servant and master duo.
wanting to turn the demon beast attention onto him, with his weapon in hand, Chen Fe roar furiously, bracing himself to fight with demon beast with all of his might.
AlThough Chen Fe couldn't help but inwardly cursed his badluck, after sensing that the demon beast Infront of him is at least a couple rank stronger than him.
"FOR THE DEATH OF MY FAMILY, DIE IN MY HAND FOUL BEAST!!!"
Xue Hui could only run as fast as he can, while following the elder of Divine family elder Chen Fe.
normally something like cathing up to a black gold rank demon spirualist is something a normal person like him wouldn't able to do, even if he gave all his all and push himself to his limit, he won't be able to catch up with a powerhouse like elder Chen Fe.
But with the situation they we're in right now, Xui hui has no problem being left behind by elder Chen fe with the elder current speed.
Not because the Black Gold rank demon spirualist expert is currently cradling his young miss, while leading the way to safety.
After all his young miss is very light, and if even someone like him, an ordinary person could carry her with no effort, how a person who has a strength to easily crash a boulder with his palm trike.
So, how could super expert like elder Chen Fe, having hard time carrying his young miss?, to the point that elder Chen Fe starting to slowly his phase little by little?.
The real reason is, elder Chen Fe is injured from the fight earlier and he had sustain many injuries, one of those is the huge spike had pierced on Elder Chen Fe stomach all the way through elder Chen fe's back.
Its already a miracle to Xue Hui, to see that elder of Divine family manage to survive the encounter against the demon beast, but also the fact that elder Chen fe still able to move his body after that fight.
Earlier, before the arrival of elder Chen fe.
He and his young miss Chen Linlin, found themselves cornered by the demon beast after running for it for quite sometimes now, and when Xue Hui couldn't find a way out, he and his young miss, had resigned to their fate, bracing themselves for the demon beast to grab them and tore them apart, Xue Hui held unto his young miss tightly.
But it seems that the heaven still has a small remaining pity for both of them.
At the last second, moment away from being mauled to death by the demon beast.
Elder Chen Fe arrived and fought the Demon beast, while he and his young miss ran onto safety.
But the fight didn't go well for elder Chen Fe.
the demon beast is proven to be formidable opponent, and push Elder Chen Fe to a desperate struggled.
In the end, elder Chen Fe, judge that he won't be able to win against the demon beast, and with his niece safety on his mind, Elder Chen Fe decided to abandoned the fight against the Demon Beast and try to bring his niece out to the Glory City.
With the use of life savings talisman, something that elder Chen Fe is keeping to his interspatial ring for who knows how long since he stumbled upon it in his younger days, saving it for the time he needed it.
Chen Fe hated that the time he actually needed to uses it has actually came.
using it to momentarily incapacitate his opponent, Chen Fe quickly turn his heel toward his Niece and his servant and Carry them both far from the fallen Demon beast.
Even though the trio manage to escaped the demon beast, with all the injuries Elder Chen Fe had sustain, he can only dashed for a short time while carrying the two, before he had to stop, and continue their escaped in much slower phase.
This is how Xue Hui found himself, trailing behind the uncle and niece duo.
Its already fortunately enough that elder Chen Fe, didn't abandoned him while escaping to the demon Beast, although he and the Elder knew each other both in name and faces, the two of them had never had any interaction in the past, despite living in the same Mansion.
After all, his job is to take care all his young miss needs, and he spent most of his time, being at her side.
So Xue Hui never had many interaction to the people outside Chen Linlin courtyard.
So Xue Hui is eternally grateful, that Elder Chen Fe, brought him along when they we're escaping the Demon beast,
After all Elder Chen Fe has no obligation of saving him,
His name is not Chen, but Xue, although he was adopted to Divine Family.
He was after all, just a servant for the young Miss of the family, and not fully part of Divine family.
While being grateful in his mind, Xue Hui didn't notice when Elder Chen Fe suddenly halt his step Infront of him, this suddent stop had cause Xue Hui to ended up falling on his butt when he bumps his body to now standing still Elder Chen Fe.
"Hui! I want you to carry, lin'er and run as fast as you can, do not stop nor look behind you, you hear me my boy!?"
While still trying to comprehend what jus happened and why the elder suddenly just stop on his tracks. He heard the The elder spoke to him.
Looking up, he saw the face of elder Chen Fe, bearing both a grim and resign expression.
Elder Chen Fe is looking at the direction of the ruined mansion of Divine family, the same direction which they just fled from.
Sensing a undescribable force lifting him from the ground he was seated at, Elder Chen Fe gently place Chen Linlin back to Xue Hui arms.
"Hui, go and carry Lin'er to safety, that damn beast is tailing us, and its closing fast"
Both Xue hui and Chen Linlin heart drop, when they heard what Chen Fe said.
Although they can't hear nor feel anything behind them, they both know that, the sensing ability of a Black Gold rank demon spirualist expert is heighten in unimaginable extent.
So if Elder Chen Fe said that the demon beast is closing to them fast, meaning that its just a matter of time before it catch up to them.
"Uncle" with a tear flowing down to her delicate cheeks, Chen Linlin stare at her uncle with knowing look.
Chen Fe could only look back and nod to Chen Linlin, "I'm sorry, Lin'er, uncle could only carry you at this far, all I can do now is to buy you and Hui some time to run, its up to our fate what gonna happened next." Chen Fe gently place a kiss on chen Linlin forehead, that gentle kiss convey all the emotions he wanted to tell to his niece.
This is a goodbye and both of them knew it.
"HUI!"
Hearing his name being called with such a tone full of authority from a black gold rank demon spirualist expert, Xue Hui couldn't help but to stood straight and listen attentively to what Elder Chen Fe was about to say.
"I want you to fulfill your duty as Lin'er assistant for the last time, give all your might to carry her away to Glory City, while I hold that demon beast behind us." Xue Hui unconsciously gulps and nodded unsurely to the emposing elder of Divine family.
Seeing the hesitation on the boy's eyes, Chen Fe continue, knowing that even the survival is uncertain, its better to fight till the end than to just wait and coward until the demon beast devour them.
"Xue Hui, you've always be my Lin'er strength" hearing the elder words, Xue Hui look at him curiously.
"When my brother brought you to our house for the first time, and tasks to be Lin'er attendant, I thought my elder brother was losing his mind, after all you are guy, and my Lin'er is the young princess of my Divine Family, how can I boy like you suitable to attend her daily needs, other than you're gender, the other reason is that your innet talent is too poor, how could an attendant of a member of main family can be that weak, when usually a personal attendant of our house should be at least has the strength to protect not only themselves but their master aswell"
Seeing the confusion on the boy's expression Chen Fe reveal the reason why his elder brother chooses Xue Hui to became Chen Linlin attendant in the first place.
"At first I'm also lost of why my brother picked you, but later on I realized my elder brother thought behind his actions, Because of you poor innate talent, to the point that cultivating is almost impossible to you, you're the only person within the divine family who would be able to connect with our little princess"
Xue Hui eyes widened in realization when he heard the elder reasoning, while it is true that chen Linlin used to have a great innate talent when she was very little, that was all change when she was struck by an illness, a rare condition that utterly withered all her soul realms and lost all her ability not only to cultivate, but also her chances to live normal life.
Because of this, Chen Linlin chooses to secluded herself to her room, away from eyes of everyone, Only a few members of the main family were she allowed to see her, Chen Fe who's her uncle is not even included with those people back then.
Upon seeing the realization in the boy's eyes, Chen Fe nodded and place his hand on Xue Hui shoulder.
"Because of you, Lin'er found someone who she's willing to talk to, although you're talent is poor, its actually the very reason why she willing to let you in within her small bubble."
Emotions flair up in both men, although its faint, there's an tiny amount of shakiness in Chen Fe's tone.
"I'm her uncle, yet I am helpless and couldn't do anything to help my niece, despite all my wealth and power I'm useless in comes to her situation, that's why I am glad that my brother brought you in our house, ever since you came, to be Lin'er attendant, Lin'er found someone who she can considered equal. Someone who she's not afraid to show herself, and never felt alone in the huge mansion of Divine family, and for that I, Chen Fe, will always be grateful for all your hard work, of making sure Lin'er wouldn't be lonely, and that's why, Xue Hui!, you'll always be one of my divine family most valuable member!"
Xue Hui choked back his emotions as Elder Chen Fei continue.
"And for that, I want you to fulfill that role for the last time, go and carry Lin'er, run as fast a you can, don't let go of her and make sure" Chen Fe grip on Xue Hui shoulder, his eyes boring on Xue Hui eyes "don't make her experience the feeling of loneliness no matter what!"
Tightening his hold on to the girl on his embrace Xue Hui nodded, his eyes no longer hold some doubt like before but an unyielding light.
Seeing this Chen Fe walk towards the direction of the approaching demon beast and lightly push Xue Hui back, prompting him to go ahead.
"Run, my boy! Even with death upon us, how can we surrender our lives without struggling to the bitter end?!"
Kicking his leg as fast as he could, Xue Hui ran Without looking back, other than his own breathing the other noise that enter his mind, is the sobbing of the chen Linlin in his embrace.
Then he heard it,
the familiar roar of the demon beast accompanied by the yell of someone who already resigned himself to fight til his last breath.
