Chapter XLIV

Tien tried to stop her but was too late, he could only see the glaring red beams burn into Jing, and she flew right into his arms. In shock, Tien could only respond by holding her close, kneeling on the ground so that she won't be weight down by her body.

"Why..?" Tien managed to ask.

"Because i can't afford to see you die a third time." Jing responded, enjoying the feeling of Tien holding her so tenderly. Jing tried to smile for Tien, however just as she tried she coughed hard, her injured body starting to feel numb. She raised her hand caressing Tien's face, his expression confused and afraid. She smiled once for him to see.

"Remember me this way, okay?" Jing said before the next wave of pain hit her, and she gasped out in pain. "I... I... love... you...T.. Tien." She managed to say while wave after wave of pain hit her and her body slowly started to shut down.

"Who.... are you?" Tien asked. Looking into her eyes, searching for an answer. Jing coughed out a large amount of blood once she heard him say that. She wanted to say something, but it was too late, as Tien's handsome face faded into the darkness.

Jing's eyes closed as her body went limp, a tear creeping past her closed eyes and rolling down her cheek and onto Tien's hand.

"Slavife RastIdas" The demon said, swinging it's sword fiercely. Tien shifted his attention from Jing's face to the demon, his eyes burning with fury. The rings on his hand glew white as Tien whispered his command.

"Show me what i have missed, my clones." Tien commanded, he closed his eyes for a moment, the memories flooding into his mind. Once he reopened his eyes. a tear fell from the corner of his eyes and fell onto his outstretched hands, and his teardrop merged with Jing's. It froze up and Tien placed the crystal clear frozen teardrop into an empty socket in one of his rings.

The demon took a step back, he sensed something was amiss, every part of his body was warning him, asking him to run away. Just as he looked into Tien's eyes, for the first time in the demon's life, he felt fear.

Den tried to get up, wanting to help Tien. He saw Tien create an ice dome over Jing's body, protecting her. As Tien stood up, his aura soared.

With his aura eyes, Den could only gasp in shock as all of a sudden, Tien's white aura flooded the whole town, blinding him as it glew brighter and brighter.

"God..." Den could only whisper as the power of Tien's aura lifted him up and sent him flying.
