The moon hung poetically on a starry night. Calm and tranquil.

    Beneath the moon was the house of Master Lu who was sitting outside his corridor as usual.

    He had his scrolls before him on the table, and candlelight closes by. 

    He was going through the characters, exquisitely written on the scrolls. Poems and we'll write sayings of knowledge.

    He went through the scrolls under the candlelight for a while and then looked up ahead. "How long do you plan on monitoring me. You've been here the whole morning, aren't you tired?" Master Lu asked.

    Then immediately, someone appeared with yellow fire dust announcing his entrance. 

    The god of war walked up to Master Lu "You're brave enough not to run away this time. I wanted to see if you had an ace up your sleeves backing your bravery"

    A slight smile escaped Master Lu's lips. He looked down at his scripts "Bravery? Do you think so? Killing innocent lives just like that...Do you still think I'm brave?"

    "Killing innocent lives? Do you call those innocent? Those who dare to spout rubbish about the heavens deserve worse than death!" The god of war proclaimed.

    "When the heavens finally begin to treat us equal, then maybe I can consider tagging your doings justice"

    "Rubbish!" He snapped" How can we be equal!"

    Master Lu Smiled" Heart and mind..tells the tale...All bound by the same character 'Xin' "

    "You're just talking rubbish and trying to delay your end! The heavenly emperor had requested your core soul be brought. And I must waste no further time with you!"

    "Now?" Master Lu asked" I guess it came sooner than I expected" He cleared his throat"  But I have to say... I won't back down without a fight"

    "Whatever," The god of war said placing his hands on his golden eagle sword that was on his side "Bring it on"

    Master Lu quickly pushed the table before him forward as it flew off towards the god of war with an unexpected speed.

    The god of war quickly pulled out his sword and sliced the table apart. Then looking ahead, Master Lu was gone.

    He looked around not seeing anyone. And Just then sensed something from above.

    He looked up to see Master Lu falling towards him, the god of war waved his hands above, fired consumed the air but Master Lu stepped on the fire which puffed into white dust and dispersed.

    The god of war was blown away by the dust. He slid back and caught his balance looking ahead at the man who had landed on the floor with both hands behind him.

    "You've got a whole lot stronger. I guess your days in the mortal realm did help your cultivation. Too bad you could never become a god"

    Master Lu Smiled" god or no god. The tag is nsignificant As long as I defended myself...Then that's good"

    "Then defend yourself from this" The god of war raised his golden eagle sword and immediately fire from all angles circled the sword with immense power and energy. It was a high spirit of Cultivation of a god that could summon the Fire spirit beast of the sword.

    The god of war waved the sword in the air along with its fire and then cast it towards Master Lu.

    Master Lu Smiled "Boring".He mumbled to himself as he got out of his stick, positioning it ahead.

    The fire from the golden eagle sword slammed against Master Lu's stick and the tug of war began.

    From the god of war's side, he struggled to push its head to master Lu, but master Lu effortlessly held onto the stick and when he seemed bored by this tug of war, He positioned his stick up, the power from the golden eagle sword all went up with the stick and dispersed in the sky.

    "Don't use such a powerful method on the mortal realm... It's not good for them."

    The god of war looked at him shocked" How could you... control that! Impossible! you're not a god! How could you!"

    Master Lu Smiled at the shock on his face" As I said. I don't need to be a god to defend myself...and I don't need to be a god either to take you down" Master Lu waved his stick to the sky as a character appeared, with it he threw his stick into the character and it came out a sword. 

    Now, with the sword, he engaged the god of war in a brief fight with swords, sparkling red and white lights around. The fight seemed unfair because master Lu Seemed to be having the upper hand.

    And with that, master Lu twirled and cast sword close to The god of war's neck. He was shocked.

    "You...." The god of war stammered" You can't kill me... your disciples will get it!"

    Master Lu Smiled" I don't wish to kill you...And you can never harm my disciples" He withdrew the sword" Living in this word makes me sick, I'm tired. And I think it's time...so do it quick"

    With that, Master Lu drew back with his hands spread open.

    The god of war watched him for a while. This was his chance to end it...and he took that chance...

    

    *****

    

    Kai stood up from the water and then took to the air. He opened his fan and waved it in the air. Immediately, the bushes began moving and shaking from what Seemed like a tornado.

    This Lasted for a minute before Kai Closed his fans.

    He looked over at Asura who was still drowned in the mediation. He flew down and pulling him by his back collar pulled him out from the river.

    "What's it?" Asura asked as they landed on the floor and he was awake. He looked confused.

    "Someone was following us..."Kai said and paused" Master...we have to go back," He said as he left. Asura followed behind.

    When the two boys arrived at master Lu's house. They pushed open the door and immediately saw master Lu lying on the floor.

    Shocked, Asura quickly approached him bending" Master... Master! wake up!" He urged.

    "He's dead" Kai simply said as Asura paused looking up at him.

    "What?"

    "His core soul was absorbed... He's dead" He repeated.
