Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian continued to ignore Zhu Ding. His eyes had always fixated on Xia Yao's tombstone.

Zhu Ding got angry once again. He sent another slap and kicked Yun Lintian before dragging the latter toward the cliff.

"You better open your eyes and look clearly." Zhu Ding pulled Yun Lintian's head up and turned to his men. "Throw it down."

"Ah…Ugh!" Yun Lintian struggled hard upon hearing this. He tried his best to get rid of Zhu Ding's grasp, but it was futile.

The four men looked at each other and became hesitant. There was no point in humiliating the decrease, right?

"What are you doing? Throw it away!" Zhu Ding roared.

The four men didn't dare to be neglected anymore. They swung it two times before throwing the tombstone out of the cliff.

"AHH!" Yun Lintian yelled and moved his arms frantically, trying to grab the tombstone in the distance.

Zhu Ding started to laugh wildly and pulled Yun Lintian's hair, preventing him from moving forward.

At this moment, the tombstone that was about to fall down suddenly halted in the air, and Xia Yao's illusory figure appeared before it. She looked at Yun Lintian with tearful eyes and slowly stretched her arm out toward Yun Lintian.

Instantly, the tombstone began to fly toward Yun Lintian, knocking Zhu Ding away and letting Yun Lintian hug it. In Yun Lintian's vision, it was Xia Yao who rushed forward and kicked Zhu Ding away before throwing herself into his embrace. 

Zhu Ding and his men looked at the tombstone in astonishment. Their minds went blank for a moment as they couldn't comprehend the situation before them.

"Yaoyao…I'll go to your side now." Yun Lintian hugged Xia Yao tightly, unwilling to let her go.

Xia Yao didn't say anything. She closed her eyes and rested her head on Yun Lintian's shoulder.

Zhu Ding came back to his sense. He quickly took his gun out and fired at Yun Lintian. The bizarre scene earlier gave birth to fear in his heart. He didn't dare to play around anymore and wanted to kill Yun Lintian as soon as possible.

Bang! Bang! Bang! 

Several bullets instantly pierced through Yun Lintian's body, shaving his vitality off bit by bit. However, the smile on Yun Lintian's face did not reduce at all. He didn't even frown or utter a sound. It was as though the pain could not do anything to him anymore.

Yun Lintian's vision gradually blurred until everything turned black. His heart stopped beating, and his journey had come to an end.

Looking at Yun Lintian hugging the tombstone motionless, Zhu Ding panted heavily while feeling relieved in his heart. The corner of his mouth slowly raised up, forming into a victory smile. "Hehe…Hahaha! Dead! He's dead now! Hahaha!"

Zhu Ding's laughter reverberated throughout the mountain. His subordinates looked at him with disgust in their hearts. There was no respect in their gazes at all.

As Yun Lintian passed away, the rain suddenly stopped, and the bright moon gradually appeared among the clouds.

Whoop—

At this moment, two helicopters slowly flew toward the top of the mountain and stopped above it. Long ropes were thrown down from the helicopters, and a few figures quickly climbed down along the ropes.

Upon landing on the ground, these few figures quickly spread out and aimed their guns at Zhu Ding's group.

A man who seemed to be the group leader stepped forward while pointing the gun at Zhu Ding. "Show your identity!" He seemed to recognize the laughing Zhu Ding from the moment he came down, but he had to follow the protocol.

Zhu Ding didn't reply right away. He was still laughing for a while before turning toward the newcomer. "You ask me to show my identity? Who are you?"

The team leader stared at Zhu Ding coldly and said. "Xuanwu."

Zhu Ding's expression abruptly changed. He didn't expect Qin Xuanwu to mobilize his trump card unit to this place. It seemed he was determined to protect Yun Lintian… But so what? Yun Lintian had already died. What's there for him to fear?

Thinking of this, Zhu Ding regained his composure and took his identity card out. "It turns out to be Xuanwu team leader. This is my identity." Following that, he threw the card toward the team leader and watched it calmly.

The team leader glanced at the card and threw it back. "What's going on here? Can you explain it?" As he said, his gaze swept over Yun Lintian's figure and his heart tightened up immediately. Don't tell me he is already dead?

Zhu Ding smiled faintly and pointed at Ross's body. "They are Hell Church members. I received the news about them smuggled into our country and tracked them down." Then he pointed at Yun Lintian. "I think you should know that man. That's right. He's the famous Cloud Shadow team leader. I heard that he wants to trade something with Hell Church. Who knows what's going on in the process? They somehow fought with each other and ended up with mutual destruction."

The Xuanwu team leader sighed inwardly. He knew that everything was Zhu Ding's design, but there was no point in further discussing it. He could only let Yun Lintian die unjustly.

He said. "What's the items he wanted to exchange?"

Zhu Ding's shrugged. "How could I know? Why don't Xuanwu Team Leader check on him yourself?… Also, can you lower the gun down? It scared me, you know?"

The Xuanwu team leader stared at Zhu Ding for a moment and motioned his teammates to lower the guns down.

Just as he was about to check on Yun Lintian, a female voice suddenly ran out from a distance. "Lintian!"

A beautiful figure rushed toward Yun Lintian's lifeless body with all her might, followed by a white-haired old man and a few bodyguards.

Zhu Ding frowned slightly upon seeing this person. He put up a smile and blocked her. "Ningchang. How come you are here?"

The newcomer was no other than Yang Ningchang. He quickly stepped aside and responded coldly. "Go away!"

Afterward, she ran to Yun Lintian's side and covered her mouth in shock upon knowing the man was gone. Two streaks of tears immediately flowed down her cheeks. She took a step forward and hugged Yun Lintian's lifeless body. "I'm sorry. I was late… I'm sorry…."

The world seemed to quiet down immediately.. There was only Yang Ningchang's wailing sound, accompanied by a chilling wind.
