Time-Traveling Love

In his last desperate act, Fu Xiu grabbed Xu Caitong, making a final stand. “Mo Xie, your woman is in my hands. If anyone dies today, we both die. How can I die alone?” With that, he threw Xu Caitong into the air. Xu Caitong, caught in the howling wind, drifted among the dark, stormy clouds as rain poured down, and the earth below lay in desolation. The great fires and floods engulfed the earth. The people of the land bowed in prayer, hoping that heaven would bless the earth to cease the fires and quell the floods. The wind blew on Xu Caitong’s face, its strength causing her cheeks to sting slightly. She looked down upon the people of the vast earth, watching as their homes were destroyed by the floods, and tears fell from her eyes. She realized then that what she had clung to was Fuxiu, who intended to destroy the heavens and earth. At the beginning of creation, he had abducted Ziyue to prevent Moye from opening the world, using her as leverage against Moye. She had wronged him in her accusations. “Moye, I love you. In our next life, we will be together again.” Xu Caitong glanced at Liu Bugun, full of longing, then fell towards the earth. “No!” Liu Bugun screamed. How could Fuxiu let this go so easily? He extended his poisonous dragon whiskers towards Xu Caitong, the strands piercing her. “Ah-” Xu Caitong was struck by the venomous dragon whiskers and plummeted downward. “Wife.” Dapeng, carrying Liu Bugun, flew out like an arrow. Liu Bugun caught Xu Caitong, and with a flash of cold light, Moye’s sword was swung, striking towards Fuxiu. The Moye Sword, forged from the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth, crafted from the dark iron sand of the Nine Nether Springs and the divine iron of the highest heavens, carried Moye’s spirit as it pierced towards Fuxiu, who was tumbling in mid-air. The sword struck Fuxiu’s heart, and he screamed, blood rushing to his heart. Flames burst from his body as he fell towards the ground. Liu Bugun held Xu Caitong tightly, seeing her eyes closed and her body turning blue. His heart was filled with pain and hatred, wishing he could slice Fuxiu into a thousand pieces for the millennia-old abduction of Ziyue, and now for poisoning Caitong.
