Heavenly Opposers

'The world burning Phoenix

To the people of the current era that name means nothing but to Xiao those words were more than enough to shake his heart to the core, the world burning Pheonix was the successor to the shrine of fire, she was among an unprecedented talent that was not seen before, no one knows where she came from

But she did appear within the shrine of fire as the daughter of an important cultivator and from there her talents only bloomed, she had even crossed over the 13th step of Pheonix within her trail, her fire and bloodline was so pure that it brought jealousy to all, her fire strong enough to burn even the laws of the world

But all that did not mean anything to Xiao, his mind flashed as a memory popped in his mind, death and massacre surrounded the world, the sky to the ground was flushed deep red, bodies of unimaginable number littered the ground, the bodies count could reach upon the millions that made a huge hill, several hills made of bodies littered the ground, spreading far as one could see

Anybody seeing this would feel their heart go cold from the sight, the blood from the surrounding had turned to mist as it floated in the atmosphere making a bloody scene, the bodies littered on the ground where many, they ranged from men to women and even children! they were old and young and all of them had horror in their eyes as they died from slashes and burns, nobody would be able to walk around this place without puking

But the sight was not over as a young man of 20 stood within this massacre with calm cold eyes, there wasn't even a hint of emotions to his eyes, only indifference and a whole lot of madness as the bloodlust and the unwilling will of the dead floated and started to be sucked into the body of the young man

The young man had black hair and black eyes that seemed to shine with red color, he stood there indifferent as he used the death around him to get stronger and it was then a chuckle was heard within all this, the young man's eyes opened as he turned towards the sound and when he did his eyes opened wide with surprise

There within all the chaos, a woman was walking towards him, she had bright scarlet hair with tinges of yellow within them, her hair as long as it fell behind her back, she had bright orange and yellow eyes that seemed to have flames burning deep within them, a flame mark was within her forehead that seemed to be part of her

Her face was the epitome of beauty, just a look at her face was enough to drive anyone with a frenzy of love and lust, her body was the perfect proportions, seemingly tempting men to take a touch, all in all, she was an exotic beauty who would make anybody be driven with the desire

Even the black-haired young man with his indifference had his heart beating faster but it didn't last long before he took a deep breath to control himself, seeing it, the scarlet haired beauty smiled as she spoke to him

"Oh.....you look fun!"

And with that, the memory broke as Xiao turned to the young Yurou with complex emotions, in the past life he had met Yurou, he Xiao who had his heart completely closed off, he who was just a broken machine that just lived had almost opened his heart to her, he who had never been interested in love had his heart almost stolen by her

Yes.....almost, as for why? it was because she had ended up dying...protecting him, back then that was the last time in his first life that Xiao had cried, he who only shed a tear when he lost everything, he who didn't feel anything when he slaughtered millions, he who had thought that he had no tears left cried for the last time and back then he had become broken

In his first life Xiao's notorious fame had spread far and wide, he who was defying the natural laws of talent with slaughter was of great interest to others but things only kept getting worse as Xiao's slaughter started to get out of control, back then Yurou had come to take his life

As for why, well she was just traveling through the second heaven and had heard about his deeds, she had set out to take his life but things went completely different from how they should have, instead of killing him Yurou started to follow him around and started to prevent him from killing others

No matter how much Xiao tried he was much much weaker than Yurou and he tried everything he could to kill Yurou but it was all in a knot, she would stick to him like a leech as she prevented him from taking a single life, not only that she even protected him from others hunters secretly, this information had only reached his ear at the moment of his death

She would laugh, make jokes and tease him as she kept following him around with no end, it continued for a year, as she didn't leave his side, slowly but surely she had become an integral part of his life by sticking to him but just as he had planned to open his heart to her she left his side as she protected him

Just like his mother who died protecting she too died the same way, an unprecedented talent like her had died protecting trash like him, she who was the successor to a shrine died for him, Xiao learned from the book Heavenly Opposers that she had risked her cultivation, her position and everything just to spend a year with him

Back then the fire shrine trembled in rage, worlds burned as he was hunted down, he was once again hunted down and his heart completely broken, he was once again the enemy of the world, Xiao heart burned for the desire for power again and his massacre increased to an unprecedented degree, that caused him to even earn the heavens curse

'Hey Xiao why don't you try smiling, see it's like this'

A heart moving scarlet haired beauty said as she held her hands stretching her cheeks into a smile

'Hey, Xiao what will you do when you achieve what you want?'

The same beauty asked as she sat on a tree bark swinging her smooth white legs

'Hey Xiao try this, its soo tasty, why don't you try it!'

The young woman asked as she held her food towards him

'Hey, Xiao, what type of girl do you like?'

The beauty asked as she rubbed her legs to the ground while holding her hair while looking to the side

'Xiao I'm sorry but I love you...'

A scarlet haired beauty said as she lay within a black-haired man's arms, the area where her heart should be was absent, her beautiful flame-like eyes were filled with unwillingness and pain, pain for what the man will have to go through after her death

Soon all of Xiao's visions vanished as he came to the present, he took a deep breath trying to control his emotions, his eyes were a bit red and his emotions were a bit of mess but he kept taking deep breaths to control himself, he was soon able to control himself, his eyes opened as they turned towards Yurou who was standing next to him with a worried look

But the next moment she was stunned as she saw an unprecedented amount of gentleness flowing out of Xiao's eyes as he looked at her, his lips rose as he smiled

"Yes, I do know about the World Burning Pheonix"
