At that critical moment, a figure dashed forward at lightning speed and came between Gloria and Floyd.
Slap!
Floyd hit the intruder in his chest, and the faint cracking sounds of bones could be heard.
“Heptino!” exclaimed Gloria. She did not expect Heptino to save her in the nick of time.
“Gloria, I finally... get to do something important for you...”
With that, Heptino breathed his last.
Sorrow washed over Gloria. Little did she expect to be saved by the person who had betrayed her. Furthermore, there was no hint of regret in Heptino's eyes.
“This is all my fault!” Feelings of regret engulfed Gloria because she had been making use of Heptino when he was alive.
“Floyd! I'm going to kill you!” Gloria charged at Floyd like a lunatic. She was prepared to perish together with him.
“I should be the one telling you this.”
There was no expression on Floyd's face. He had been waiting for this day for far too long.
After they exchanged a few blows, Floyd killed Gloria.
The past flashed across her mind as she was dying.
“I have been toying with both of them. In the end, one of them saved me, and the other killed me. Perhaps this is fate!”
Gloria slowly closed her eyes and never opened them again.
Floyd did not stay too long at Void Sect. He got down on his knees in front of Levi and said, “Master, my days are numbered. I'm sorry for disappointing you. Please take care!”
He then turned around and left. Looking at his determined figure, Levi let out a faint sigh.
He could sense that Floyd's aura was weakening rapidly. By the look of it, Floyd must have paid a huge price in order to attain his current cultivation level.
Levi did not stop him from leaving. Just as Gloria had said before she died, perhaps that was fate.
