What if...
Fairy Xianxia realized the threat the Su Lou possessed and instead of taking her time, she immediately gone for the kill.
She didn't use any fancy technique, didn't perform any unnecessary moves, and just put her whole power to kill and destroy Su Lou in one move.
Su Lou never stood a chance.
As the most powerful attack of a tenth rank martial artist comes nearer, Su Lou already knew that she will not be able to dodge it. If she get hit by it, death only awaits her.
Su Lou can bring death but she can also accept death. The heat from the attack burns her skin but SU Lou just closed her eyes. In her mind, she saw Nangong Liuyun's back, leaving and never looking back and despite her situation, a beautiful smile still appeared in her face.
'I guess... this is goodbye.' That was SU Lou's last thought before Fairy Xiaxia's attack hit her.
...
Nangong Liuyun just reached the other mountain when he got a horrible premonition in the depths of his soul.
Alarmed, he turned towards the direction where he left from, where Su Lou was, just in time to see a powerful explosion occur. Nangong Liuyun paled and for the first time in his life, he felt fear. No, he is terrified. Flying towards the explosion, ignoring the harsh winds whipping around him, Nangong Liuyun prayed to every deity he knew: 'Please, please, please. Oh god let her be alright. Not Su Lou, please let her be unharmed. Not my Lou Lou.'
But he was too late...
He was way too late...
Nangong Liuyun arrived in the area where he left Su Lou.
A few minutes ago, this place was still full of life. With towering trees that lived for almost a hundred years, a clear river supplying the whole forest with life. Most importantly, Su Lou was here.
Now, everything was gone. In its place was a giant crater.
Nangong Liuyun felt weak to the point that he can't even stay in midair. Landing unsteadily on the ground, he used his divine senses to search for any sign of life. Anything to indicate that something survived this calamity.
But no matter how hard he tries, no matter how far he extend his senses, there's nothing. There was no survivor.
No... Survivor...
No. NO! His Lou Lou have to be alive! She have to... she have to...
She can't leave him like this! No!
He, Nangong Liuyun will not accept this.
As long as he doesn't find a b… body, then there's still hope that SU Lou is still alive.
He ignored his mind whispering about how an explosion at that magnitude can reduce a whole human body to ashes.
He believed that Su Lou survived. She always does.
She's alive... She survived... She's okay...
She's... not dead...
