Chapter 341 – Overdue Karma Tribulation
Hua s.h.i.+ bellowed, "Back off, or I"ll kill this b.i.t.c.h!"
On the other side, Sun Fang dropped his weapon and raised both his hands, "Don"t! We won"t fight you anymore!"
"BACK OFF!"
"Okay, okay! I"m backing off . "
Sun Fang stepped backward in a panic . However, his heart screamed that he had to save Li Jing right now, or she would die soon .
Many arrows had pierced into Li Jing"s body, and she was in a critical condition .
She required a treatment, now!
Sun Fang"s breathing became rough and short . Although he was walking backward, he did not give up on Li Jing .
"I"m going to save you, wifey . Please hang on . "
Sun Fang glanced at his skill list, trying to come up with a way to rescue his wife .

*******************************
.
Sun Fang intentionally walked back to the side of a building . Once he reached a blind spot where Hua s.h.i.+ could not see his sides, he activated his [Clone] .
A new body with 50% strength of Sun Fang appeared at his side . It copied his appearance and his current equipment .
The clone drew his secondary knife and sneaked around the building, trying to flank Hua s.h.i.+ .
While the clone was at it, Sun Fang"s eyes flared . He activated his [Sword Controlling Technique] to manipulate his discarded sword on the ground . The sword moved and flew at Hua s.h.i.+ .
As Hua s.h.i.+"s souls were still inside her body, her angelic aura covered her body and blocked the flying sword .
The clone got behind Hua s.h.i.+ and rushed her, swinging its sword and aiming at her back . The sword connected, but his strike was blocked by the aura as well .
Seeing that Sun Fang tricked her, Hua s.h.i.+"s eyes became bloodshot .
"YOU ASK FOR IT!"
Hua s.h.i.+ gathered her aura into her knife and pressed it on Li Jing"s neck, trying to severe her head in one chop .
Before the knife cut into Li Jing"s neck, Li Jing"s soul was unsummoned into her body . She pulled one of the arrows and punctured it though Hua s.h.i.+"s neck .
*PU*
*SWUA*
Both women landed their blow at the same time .
Hua s.h.i.+ cut through Li Jing"s neck arteries and spinal cord, separating her head from her shoulder .
Li Jing"s arrow thrust pierced through Hua s.h.i.+"s vocal cord and blockaded her respiratory system from getting the oxygen .
Before Li Jing"s world fell into eternal darkness, she smiled at Hua s.h.i.+ .
"I love you, Sunday . Let"s die together . "
"I"m sorry, Fang . I love her more than you, after all . "
Li Jing stared into Hua s.h.i.+"s eyes as her brain shut down .
As soon as Li Jing stopped moving, one system appeared before Sun Fang .
>
"AAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Sun Fang screamed as tears dropped from his eyes . Ignoring all threats from Hua s.h.i.+, he charged at her with his secondary knife .
Because his soul was in his body, his attacks contained the immortal aura .
"Ugh!"
Meanwhile, Hua s.h.i.+ could not breathe . She summoned her soul out of her body and activated her regeneration skill, recovering from the injury .
Hua s.h.i.+ could hear the scream from Sun Fang, and she backpedaled away from the battle, trying to retreat .
Unfortunately, the wind pill that Sun Fang ate was still in effect . He reached her within a few seconds .
"d.a.m.n it!"
Hua s.h.i.+ took out an oil barrel from her inventory to block Sun Fang"s strike .
*BOOM*
Sun Fang"s short sword cut the oil barrel in half . At the same time, the clone of Sun Fang attacked her again, using his master"s system skill .
"Qi Blast!"
"s.h.i.+t!"
*BOOM*
The blast ignited the crude oil from the barrel, and the flame engulfed both Sun Fang and Hua s.h.i.+!
The flame got through their lung and burned all oxygen within their body while it produced poisonous particles into their circulatory system .
If they did not have any life-saving skill, they would either die from the toxic in their system or the burn from fire .
"He"s mad!"
Hua s.h.i.+ used her soul to activate the regen skill one more time and continued running, getting away from the sea of flame .
Sun Fang also recovered a bit of his sanity and activated his self-heal skill . However, he did not care if he would die today .
He wanted revenge!
"YOU WILL PAY!!"
Sun Fang resummoned his soul, which it chased after Hua s.h.i.+ along with the clone and his real body .
The three Sun Fangs reached Hua s.h.i.+ in the next second .
In a panic, Hua s.h.i.+ tossed another trump card in her inventory at Sun Fang, Te Langpu"s bomb bags .
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
The clone suffered a direct hit and shattered into fragments, and Sun Fang"s legs were severed from the scattering shrapnel .
However, his [Patience] soul was immune to none-aura physical attacks . It reached Hua s.h.i.+ and swung his sword .
*SWUA*
Hua s.h.i.+"s legs were also severed!
She summoned her two souls right away, trying to heal herself and getting back on his feet . Hua s.h.i.+"s [Diligence] also flew at Sun Fang"s soul as she planned to finish him in the next strike .
Sun Fang"s [Patience] disregarded his safety and defense . He gathered all of his strength and slashed at [Diligence]"s torso .
Hua s.h.i.+ [Diligence]"s hands pierced through [Patience]"s chest, destroying his lung, heart, and spinal cord .
On the other hand, [Patience] cut [Diligence] in half, separating her upper body and lower body!
Hua s.h.i.+"s real body suddenly splitted like her soul . Her [Love] also suffered from the same damage, and her body was severed into two as well .
Sun Fang"s real body also had a hole in his left chest, and his heart was missing .
Both otherworlders gritted their teeth, not giving up their life .
"Regen!"
"Self-Heal!"
Their real body healed again, but the damages to their soul remained .
Sun Fang and Hua s.h.i.+ got on their feet again, but none of them could move . Because of their soul injuries, they could barely maintain their conscience and consciousness .
Sun Fang"s soul had cracked lines, spreading from the hole that Hua s.h.i.+ made . The injuries extended from the one hole to all parts in his body, but the damaged stopped when Sun Fang unsummoned his soul .
He sat down cross-leg, cultivating and gathering life essence from the surroundings, trying to heal his soul .
On the contrary, Hua s.h.i.+ was in a terrible condition . She could feel that her soul was about to disintegrate into nothingness soon as the damages were beyond repair .
At this rate, she would die in a minute!
"No …"
At this moment, she regretted not following Tong"s suggestion .
She regretted taking too much time in Wan .
She regretted not entrusting this task to other subordinates .
And most of all, she regretted that she would not be able to see Tong and her daughter again .
Tears dropped from her eyes as she stared at her murderer .
"I just want to live in peace … why?"
Sun Fang glared back at Hua s.h.i.+, "You killed my wife!"
"I"ve never wanted to fight with all of you! Your wife wanted me dead!"
"YOU KILLED MY WIFE!"
"YOU ARE THE ONE THAT FORCED ME TO KILL YOUR WIFE!"
"YOU KILLED MY WIFE!!"
While one grieved because of her looming death, the other lost their sanity because of his vengeance desire .
Realizing that bickering with Sun Fang was a waste of her precious time, she stopped talking to him .
Thinking about Tong and her daughter, Hua s.h.i.+ realized that she forgot one crucial thing .
She had formed a soulmate contract with Tong . If she died, Tong would die as well!
"Tong, Min"er, I love you . "
Tears kept falling from her eyes as she recalled their precious times together .
"Lilim, annul my soulmate contract!"
>
[Are you sure? Your soulmate quest will be pa.s.sed down on you alone . ]
Hua s.h.i.+ snickered . She was about to die, and Lilim was still clueless .
"Do it, please . "
[Oh, okay . Wait, you"re dying . ]
"Yes . Cancel it, please . "
[…]
>
>
Seeing the system message, Hua s.h.i.+ had a sad smile on her face .
Within a couple of seconds, Tong texted into the clan chat .
Tong: "Sunday! What happened!?"
Tong: "Why did you cancel our contract!?"
Hua s.h.i.+ touched the floating system menu, feeling the screen on the area with Tong"s name . She slowly typed into the clan chat with her trembling hands .
At this moment, her souls were disintegrating and left with only upper shoulders and the head .
Hua s.h.i.+: "Take care of our daughter, Tong . "
Hua s.h.i.+: "I"m sorry . I"ve failed us both . "
Tong: "What"s wrong? Li Feihong will be there soon!"
Hua s.h.i.+: "Friday, take care of Tong for me . "
Dong Bai: "WTF!? What happened!?"
Hua s.h.i.+"s consciousness was about to fade, yet she mustered her last bit of strength to type .
Hua s.h.i.+: "I love you, Tong . "
Finished sending her last words, her body collapsed on the ground . The disintegration reached the face of her souls, and her real body could not move anymore .
In Hua s.h.i.+"s mind, she kept recalling her memories with Tong, Zhang Min, and Friday . The bright light and the sparkling memories slowly faded into darkness as a nightmare crept upon her .
Several faces of the victims that Hua s.h.i.+ had killed in her previous human"s life appeared . They stared at Hua s.h.i.+ with contempt as they muttered .
"How does it feel to be separated from your family?"
"You don"t deserve a good life . "
"Even h.e.l.l is too good for you!"
Looking at these faces, Hua s.h.i.+ realized that she took them away from their families, which was the same that Sun Fang and Li Jing did to her .
This entire event was her karma tribulation, and her death in this life was her true punishment for past evil deeds .
The last teardrop of Hua s.h.i.+ rolled on her face .
"I"m sorry . "
"Tong, I"m sorry . "
The last bit of Hua s.h.i.+"s consciousness faded into nothingness .
