Xing pulled Chenglei behind her in a swift motion and he almost floated on the air before landing behind her."Finish him!", Xing spoke to the sword and threw her sword straight at s.h.i.+hong"s heart since she didn"t want the happenings of her dream that s.h.i.+hong stabbing her in the heart from happening.
The sword plunged into s.h.i.+hong"s heart and at the same time a lightning fell on the sword through the roof breaking some of the roof tiles and pa.s.sed through the sword into s.h.i.+hong"s heart and he fell on the ground burnt and dead.
And just like that s.h.i.+hong, the one born as s.h.i.+ Hua - the one who was supposed to be the first Princess of the Wind Kingdom, just because of the choices his mother made that sent him through a series of life-altering events which turned him into a crime Lord, flowed by his choices, went to meet the King of h.e.l.l with the help of the final blow from the one he tried to plunder every happiness from... Xing...!
The star that stole his light!
But he was dead a long time before... When his wolf looked at "Her" the way he wanted him to look at him...!
Hope you two burn in h.e.l.l! May all your wishes be like a dust scattered in the wind.... Unattainable!
He cursed their love before he closed his eyes out of the pain he felt when the lightning pa.s.sed through him.
Xing held out her hand towards the sword and the sword returned back to her. The last thing she saw in s.h.i.+hong"s face was not guilt for everything he had done but anger... Anger that he, in the end could not get the one thing he wanted in his life... Love!
But she had no time to ponder over him or feel sad for him.
Good! One down, one more to go!
Chenglei realised she is being focused and has a plan and helped her by not disturbing her. Sure he wanted to be the one protecting her in the front not hiding behind her back but now is not the time to think that way. This is her fight and she has to be the one finis.h.i.+ng it. Him trying to interfere will only bring negative effects and would only disturb her.
He saw her back tall and straight and he could even see the determination in her eyes at that moment by closing his eyes. Her amber eyes gleaming along with her golden hair, her lips pressed to a slight curl mocking the one in front of her and her pretty bright eyes fixed on her target as a tiger would on his prey.
That is a scene he"d watch everyday!
Xing looked at Old Rong whose wound was still open but instead of blood there was this hole with a bright light inside. The fire phoenix was above him spreading its wings spanning over the entire room and oddly the room didn"t catch fire.
This would have been an epic scene! Xing thought, If only Old Rong was pretty!
But now all she wanted was to snuff out the light glowing inside Old Rong. Once it is snuffed out, old Rong will be no more, right?
Xing just sent the sword back as she felt like the sword won"t be of much help against Old Rong. Her entire focus was on the light glowing inside him and how to snuff it out. She did not care that psyche cannot be broken or destroyed. She wanted to end all this... To finish off the one who dared to suggest the death of her beloved. He cannot be spared,lest he comes back for him.
Snuff out the light!
That"s the only thought in Xing"s mind as if she was meditating and her entire focus was on the right light in Old Rong"s chest.
She took a deep breath focusing on Old Rong and a layer of spherical transparent force field formed around Old Rong and the fire phoenix trapping him inside.

As Old Rong struggled to get out of the field, the sphere decreased in diameter constricting the phoenix and Old Rong felt suffocating inside that force field.
Xing felt like her entire head would burst like a firecracker. It still she didn"t give up and her entire focus was to protect Chenglei.
She vaguely remembered the same feeling from before.... There was a fire phoenix then too...
Ah! That must be when the Caijing Library fire happened, right...? Aww...that sure was a nice feeling, trying to help my Prince!
The sphere now only had a diameter of five feet and the phoenix has already disintegrated and disappeared. Old Rong was inside the constricting sphere and every effort of him to counter the construction backfired....
No way! I"m not going to die in the hands of a mixed blood mutt!
He used everything in his power but before he knew it, he saw his body disintegrating and falling down on the floor as dust.
Is this my end? Old Rong worried.
Xing now used her hands to lead the force sphere and with her hands movement, only now the light - the psyche of the G.o.d remained with all of his body disintegrating to dust.
"A little more", Xing told herself seeing the bright little light in front of her in the size of a chicken egg " To make sure he cannot hurt your prince"
Chenglei wanted to hug her seeing her completely vanquis.h.i.+ng a G.o.d but seeing her still focused, he didn"t want to disturb her until she finished what she is doing. So he didn"t notice the awful nosebleed she was having focusing all her energy in destroying Old Rong.
The entire Heavens witnessed what was happening in front of them and they stood up perplexed.
Fei Lian had a proud smile and so did the Heavenly Emperor.
"See, that radish is capable", the Emperor"s voice contained various emotions.
"Hmm", Fei Lian was happy., " Then I"ll go get the psyche from her",he was about to leave when the whole court of G.o.ds gasped in unison.
"How?"
"What?"
"Impossible"
Everyone had no more to say as they witnessed such thing the first time in their fairly longer life.
"No way, the prince is a mortal!"
"The prince has always been a purebred G.o.d! How is this happening...?"
All G.o.ds were panicking seeing what she did to Old Rong.
This is what she did,
Xing made a crus.h.i.+ng movement with her hands squeezing it and the psyche inside the sphere disappeared too.... It broke like a s.h.i.+ney glitter and it twinkled for some time in the early evening sunlight and then gradually disappeared. She had destroyed the psyche like one would crush an egg.
A mortal had destroyed a psyche! And it is unbelievable!
Even Fei Lian didn"t expect this, "How could she? This is not the power of a Prince, is it?", he asked the Heavenly Emperor.
"Not all Princes....", the Emperor had an odd smile, "I was a Prince With this power and so I became an Emperor!"
Fei Lian"s face paled.
What does this mean? That child has the power to become the next Heavenly Emperor?
He looked at his Emperor and his weird smile made him wonder if he"d let her live. No one would want the threat to their throne to prosper.
" Behold! The Prince of Heavens!", the Heavenly Emperor pointed at Xing in that wall and everyone started mumbling among themselves.
In that commotion no one noticed, Mazu leaving the council with an irritated expression and also Zhu Rong was sitting with an expression that hid layers but a slight mockery.

Meanwhile Xing saw the little ball of light shattering to small little pieces and dispersing to thin air and disappearing and only then she felt relieved and sighed in relief.
Unfortunately, she felt the pain in her fast beating heart only now and she bent to the front as she coughed. A spurt of blood came out of her mouth and she looked at Chenglei who was holding her shoulders with a panicked expression seeing her vomiting blood.
But Xing wasn"t worried because the same thing happened when she searched for Seiren and she recovered pretty soon too.
"My Prince! It is over!" she said with a smile and he placed his broad bony hand on her cheek and smiled. Both of them still could not believe that everything is over.
As she spoke, she felt her throat getting dry and she turned to the side and coughed with Chenglei patting her back to sooth her. Suddenly, a small part of a roof tile slipped from the slightly damaged roof and fell on her back,exactly above the mark Fei Lian made in her.
Chenglei watched the sudden descent of the tile and before he could react, the tile fell right over her heart on her back. The mark that sis protecting her till now!
And Chenglei felt his heart sinking to the abyss as he felt Xing in his hands slumping towards the ground as if she"d lost her consciousness or...
"Xing!", Chenglei screamed... No way! The mark should not be disturbed....
Chenglei knelt in the floor with the now unconscious Xing in his hands and he checked her back. Even her clothes wasn"t affected by the fall of the tile and only a patch of dirt was left in that place.
Boy! Was he relieved!
Seeing her being not hurt, he tried to call her but she still didn"t wake up.
"Xing!"
"Xing!"
He called her with each call the desperation in his heart increasing.
But there was no movement in her. After what felt like Eternity for him, he felt like her body was becoming cold.
No way! He screamed. This is not happening!
Chenglei checked everywhere but he could not see any place she was hurt. He felt the coldness from her body entering him. He had no guts to check her pulse and confirm.
No way! She is not dead....!
He controlled his frantically beating heart and gently callef her "Xing!"
But there was no response from her and he gathered all his courage to slightly nudge her clothes covering her back and there it was...
The mark... The mark was...
