The hammer smashed viciously into Zhou Wu's chest.
It was suffocating!
So suffocating that he couldn't breathe.
The Divine Arbiter's face was pale, but even so, she smiled brightly. The radiance of motherly love radiated from her.
When she'd learned that the child in her womb was safe, the Divine Arbiter no longer cared whether she lived or died.
The instant Su Yan announced the Divine Arbiter's fate, Zhou Wu's heart filled with mixed emotions.
His eyes met the Divine Arbiter's. His eyes reddened involuntarily, and they burned with rage.
What the hell was he doing!?
Zhou Wu questioned himself over and over again. If only he'd admitted earlier that the Divine Arbiter was in his heart. No matter what she'd done to him, his love for her hadn't changed in the slightest!?
Why had he attacked her? Just why!?
"No! Impossible! "
Zhou Wu unleashed a berserk aura. Wu Di and Gu Li, who stood in his way, were blown back several steps by the wind.
Then, Zhou Wu took a step forward.
Wu Di and Gu Li tried to block him, but the enraged Zhou Wu reached forward, grabbed them by the collar, and tossed them several hundred meters away.
Then Zhou Wu transformed into a blur as he viciously grabbed Su Yan's collar.
"Say what you just said one more time!"
"Let go!"
Su Yan forcefully slapped Zhou Wu's thick arm. When Xiao Yumei saw this, a belt appeared in her hand, but before she could ….
"Scram!"
Bang! Bang!
A beam of light shot out, colliding with it. Xiao Yumei was flung several dozen meters back.
She tasted something sweet in her throat, then coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining her lips crimson.
"Zhou Wu!"
Cried the Divine Arbiter, paralyzed on the ground. Zhou Wu stared intently at Su Yan.
"Tell me!"
Xiao Yumei, Wu Di, and Gu Li hurried back. Zhou Wu's furious attack had injured them all, but none of them were life-threatening.
Su Yan watched everything unfold. After relaxing a little, she stopped struggling and snorted. "Do you even need to ask me? Don't you know? Even an Imperial Monarch would be heavily injured if they were to defend against it with all their might. Just now, the Divine Arbiter didn't use any spiritual power to strengthen her wounds. She relied solely on her physical body to take your attack. Her heart and lungs are badly injured, and her heart is worse.
It is the place with the densest meridians of the human race. If all of them are destroyed, no one will be able to save her! "
"Impossible!"
The violent spiritual power stirred up the sand and stones, and the surging spiritual power turned into a gale that made it difficult for people to breathe.
Gu Li teleported to the Divine Arbiter's side and helped her block Zhou Wu's furious spiritual energy.
"Aren't you the Life Chief God? Save her!"
"If I could save him, I would save him even if you didn't ask."
Su Yan glanced at the Divine Arbiter, her eyes filled with grief.
From her point of view, all of this was not worth it. For a person like Zhou Wu, they were risking their lives just to keep their child.
Too stupid!
Somehow, she could understand.
Perhaps this was what women were like!
Perhaps this was his mother!
"I don't believe it. I order you to save her. If she dies ….." Zhou Wu grabbed Su Yan by the neck, so hard his veins bulged. "You'll die too!"
"Zhou Wu!"
"Lil 'Yan!"
Wu Di and Gu Li forced themselves to flee to Zhou Wu's side. They wanted to save Su Yan.
However, even in their complete forms, they still wouldn't be a match for Zhou Wu. Given their injuries, how could they possibly snatch Su Yan away from him?
"Get the hell out of my way!"
Boom!
Two beams of air slammed into Wu Di and Gu Li, sending them flying several hundred meters back.
"Zhou Wu!"
Shouted the Divine Arbiter as hard as she could, but Zhou Wu acted as if he hadn't heard her at all. He kept his grip on Su Yan's neck.
Not long after, Su Yan's face flushed red, and the frequency of her struggles gradually slowed down.
"Zhou Wu! Let her go! "screamed the Divine Arbiter." Can't you listen to me just once before I die? "
Bang!
Su Yan, who was grabbed by Zhou Wu, suddenly fell to the ground. Zhou Wu was like a wooden man, still maintaining his previous actions.
"Turn around and look at me," pleaded the Divine Arbiter.
Zhou Wu turned around, his entire body stiff. Two streams of tears streamed down his cheeks.
Tears streamed down his cheeks as he calmly stared at the Divine Arbiter for a few seconds. Then, he plopped down in front of her and slapped himself repeatedly.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault ….."
"I don't blame you!"
Said the Divine Arbiter. She gently grasped Zhou Wu's hand, but he remained seated in front of her, his head bowed.
"I killed your clansmen too. I'm such a beast!"
"I don't blame you!"
Said the Divine Arbiter with a gentle smile. She struggled to lift her hand to wipe away Zhou Wu's tears, but perhaps because she was too weak, she couldn't even lift her hand.
Zhou Wu hurriedly grabbed her hand and placed it on his face. The Divine Arbiter stroked his cheek as she wished.
"Before I came here, I paid my respects to my clansmen, then betrayed them. Because I told them that I was willing to share this sin with you. Now that I think about it, I'm an unfilial daughter. "
A sorrowful smile spread across the Divine Arbiter's face. Su Yan, Gu Li, Xiao Yumei, and Wu Di gathered together. None of them said anything to disturb them. Instead, they silently watched the Divine Arbiter and Zhou Wu.
"What a foolish woman!" Xiao Yumei couldn't help but sigh.
"You say she's foolish, but it's not like we aren't either."
Suddenly, Su Yan glanced at Ye Zichen. Xiao Yumei noticed this and nodded wryly, then grabbed Su Yan's hand.
In truth, women were truly pitiful at times.
When they truly met the love of their hearts, they were willing to give up everything for that person!
"Divine Arbiter, I ….."
"Don't say it. Let me say it. I might not have much time left, so just give me the rest, okay?" The Divine Arbiter looked weakly at Zhou Wu and smiled. "In truth, I do have a place in your heart, right?"
Zhou Wu nodded forcefully, tears streaming down his cheeks.
When she heard this, the Divine Arbiter's eyes finally lit up with happiness.
"I knew it."
"You're blaming me for hiding the fact that Ye Zichen is the Master of the Stars, right?"
"That's not important. It's not important at all!" Zhou Wu shook his head. By now, he no longer cared who the Master of the Stars was. All he wanted was for the Divine Arbiter to live, and to live well.
"Do you know why I lied to you …."
"Don't say it. Just lie there obediently. I'll find a way to save you."
"Because you scared me back then. You were too obsessed with transcending. In truth, transcending isn't that important, is it? You're already at the peak of this world. Why do you still want to pursue some illusory realm? I just want you to be well, and to be your wife and child …. "
"I'm begging you, stop talking!"
Zhou Wu could clearly sense the Divine Arbiter's life slipping away. He wanted to hug her tightly, but he was worried that it would affect her wounds.
For some reason, a sense of helplessness filled his heart.
Only then did he realize that even if he transcended, there was nothing he could do about it. The person he loved was lying in front of him, but there was nothing he could do to make her better.
"I might as well leave you a child, a child that belongs to you and me …."
Screech!
