Thinking back, Su Chen could understand why Nishijiu was determined to kill him.
Indeed, those who were in the dungeon initially suffered unspeakably, trapped in the cold, damp cellar and subjected to inhuman torments daily.
Shuiyue Jingxiang was originally a powerful Magician capable of Summoning Shikigami, a figure who could command the winds and rains in Dongyin Country.
Unfortunately, her magic had its flaws.
There were several days each month when she couldn't use her magic.
And it so happened that she was captured during those few days.
Once those days passed and her power was restored, she could have killed all those people.
On the third day of her captivity, Shuiyue Jingxiang encountered Su Chen.
Although her powers would naturally recover in a few more days,
she couldn't wait that long; she couldn't stand another minute there.
Su Chen told her that he would definitely come back to save her.
To aid Su Chen more smoothly in his escape,
she even temporarily imparted her Summoned Shikigami's power to him.
Yet, the man never came back to rescue her after he left.
Four days later, her powers finally returned.
She killed everyone and brought down the dungeon.
But it still wasn't enough to satiate her wrath.
She wanted to kill that man who broke his promise!
Regrettably, that man disappeared as if he had vanished; she never saw him again.
Moreover, apart from knowing that Su Chen was a Huaxia, she knew nothing else.
She thought she would never meet the man who betrayed her in her lifetime.
But unexpectedly, her daughter encountered him.
Nishijiu actually didn't know about the grudge between Su Chen and her mother.
She only knew her mother utterly loathed a Huaxia man.
When she had nothing to do, she would draw a portrait of Su Chen.
At first, Nishijiu thought he was a man her mother liked.
But every time after finishing the portrait, her mother would take a knife and slash the portrait into pieces.
She then realized that this man must be her mother's nemesis.
Having often seen her mother's drawings, she recognized Su Chen at first sight.
At first, she thought they just looked alike.
But when Su Chen caught her sword with his hand, she knew that he was the man in the portrait!
She distinctly remembered that on her mother's portrait, the man had a mole under his wrist.
Looking the same and having a mole in the same place.
Without a doubt, he was the same person.
Thus, the deadly trap tonight was set.
Of course, before killing Su Chen, Nishijiu had already notified her mother.
This matter, indeed, was Su Chen's fault.
He knew how much those people in the dungeon yearned for freedom.
Yearned to leave that hellish place.
His presence brought them hope.
But ultimately, what awaited them was despair.
"If I say, I didn't come back not because I didn't want to, but because of other reasons, would you believe me?" Knowing the full story,
Su Chen's rage dissipated in his heart.
Originally, if it hadn't been for this woman granting him her power temporarily, perhaps his mission wouldn't have been so easily accomplished.
"No matter the reasons, you promised me, so you should have come back to rescue me! Do you know... do you know what kept me going?" Shuiyue Jingxiang shakily spoke.
"At first, it was the hope that you would come back that stopped me from taking my own life."
"But then the fourth day, the fifth day passed, and you never came back. I knew you wouldn't return. Do you know how I continued to persevere?"
"It was despair! It was anger!"
"I swore that I must survive and then find you and tear you to pieces!"
"Heaven has eyes, heaven has eyes indeed, it actually let me meet you!"
Resentment irradiated from Shuiyue Jingxiang's eyes.
Even Su Chen had never seen such heavy resentment in someone's eyes before.
"Do you know why I came to Huaxia to become a Military Officer? It was because I hoped that one day, I would meet the man my mother despises and personally avenge her. You Huaxia, are all untrustworthy, deserving death!" Nishijiu said with a face full of bitterness.
Nishijiu initially didn't hate Huaxia people that much.
It was because she knew her mother harbored hatred against a Huaxia man.
That's why she had such hatred towards Huaxia people.
"Huaxia man, do you have anything else to say?" Shuiyue Jingxiang's long hair fluttered, her gaze coldly fixed on Su Chen.
"I have nothing to say…" Su Chen responded lightly.
Indeed, Shuiyue Jingxiang was right.
No matter the reasons.
He never went back to rescue Shuiyue Jingxiang.
"Then, go die!" Shuiyue Jingxiang let out a hideous laugh.
An Energy Spear materialized in the hands of the Energy Centaur standing beside her.
Then was raised high.
The Energy Spear flew piercing through the air.
Su Chen had witnessed the might of the Energy Spear.
Not just him, even a Martial Artist a level higher than him would be impaled by the spear.
The Energy Gun pierced through his body, the massive impact force directly hurling him backwards.
Only after flying back more than ten meters did Su Chen's body come to a stop.
The Energy Spear vanished, leaving a gaping hole the size of a ping-pong ball in his body.
Blood gushed out profusely.
Seeing this, Shuiyue Jingxiang was slightly startled.
"Why didn't you dodge?" She knew, with Su Chen's abilities, he was more than capable of evading the spear.
"This is what I owe you," Su Chen said lightly, looking at the woman in front of him filled with profound hatred.
"Hahaha!" Shuiyue Jingxiang suddenly burst into laughter.
Then, once again, her face twisted hideously as she said, "Do you think this will earn my forgiveness? Without shredding you to pieces, my fury will never be quelled!"
