Free Web NovelChapter 644: Chapter 644: I Lost
WHOO-WHOO!
The sound of ghostly wailing and wolf howls rose in his ears, as if something was trying to tunnel into his head, or even burrow a large hole straight through it.
Before his eyes, the Heartless Holy Son had completely vanished. In his place stood a Fierce Ghost with a terrifying appearance, filled with a vengeful and evil aura. This Fierce Ghost’s body radiated an intense resentment. It had seemingly undergone such extreme torture before death that its appearance was nearly unrecognizable. Only a ferocious and terrifying grin remained.
"I died so miserably!"
A wretched scream came from the side as a female ghost with disheveled hair and a bloodied face flew over. Her body, having been drawn and quartered, was now crudely pieced together, making her look even more hideous.
Besides the grinning ghost and the screaming ghost, all kinds of other Fierce Ghosts appeared before Su Han: a hanged ghost with its tongue dragging on the floor, the sodden ghost of one who had drowned, and many others.
The peculiar and varied Fierce Ghosts were seemingly endless. Tens of thousands of them converged from all directions, pouncing toward Su Han as if intending to tear him to shreds and make him one of them.
Su Han’s expression remained calm as he watched the ferocious and terrifying ghosts. An Illusion Technique? he wondered. He was certain that everything before him was not real, but rather the Heartless Holy Son’s Heart Sword Technique. Yet it did not feel like a simple Illusion Technique either, because he could feel it when the Fierce Ghosts touched him.
Soon, Su Han’s figure was engulfed by a myriad of Fierce Ghosts. They lunged at him madly, yet regardless of how they attacked, he stood his ground, completely unharmed. This was not because his Great Accomplished Holy Body was so powerful, but rather because there was no fear in his heart.
Using fear as a sword to make my mental defenses collapse... this Heart Sword Technique is certainly interesting!
Even as the Fierce Ghosts lunged at him, Su Han did not move an inch. By now, he had already begun to grasp the principles of the Heart Sword Technique.
The Heart Sword Technique used the heart as the sword. However, this "heart" was not the caster’s, but that of the person affected by the technique. When the Heartless Holy Son deployed the Heart Sword Technique, he only needed a single trace of fear to appear in Su Han’s heart. That fear would then transform into a sharp sword and slice through his Dao Heart.
Unfortunately for him, the Heartless Holy Son did not know that Su Han possessed an Invincible Tao Xin and was completely unafraid of these fabrications.
The Fierce Ghosts grew even more frantic, clearly driven by the Heartless Holy Son. But no matter how frenzied or terrifying the ghosts became, Su Han remained as calm as ever. Eventually, the Fierce Ghosts started to fade and dissipate one by one. Clearly, the Heartless Holy Son had realized this move was ineffective against Su Han and was beginning to try other means.
"Heart Sword Technique: Greedy Demon Claw!"
As the Fierce Ghosts disappeared, they were replaced by all kinds of treasures: top-tier Divine Swords, dazzling Divine Stones, exquisite works of art, and Elixirs that gave off an enticing aroma.
Wealth has always swayed the hearts of men. As the old saying goes, "people die for wealth just as birds die for food." No one could face a pile of treasures without feeling a spark of avarice. Once that greedy thought took root, it would become an obsession. That greed would then transform into a Heart Sword, shattering one’s Dao Heart and trapping them completely.
Su Han naturally appreciated treasures, but he felt no greed when facing these illusions. He possessed the memories and inheritances of over a dozen gods and demons, giving him vast experience and knowledge. The Heartless Holy Son’s imagination was limited by his own worldly perspective, so the treasures he conjured held no temptation for Su Han.
Poverty has truly limited the Heartless Holy Son’s imagination!
"What other techniques do you have?" Su Han asked indifferently. "Use them all at once!"
As he spoke, the treasures before him gradually disappeared. The Heartless Holy Son had changed tactics once again.
"Why so gloomy, Young Master? Would it please you if this servant played a tune for you?"
A classical beauty with a graceful figure and a gentle temperament appeared before Su Han. She lifted her slender hands and began to play the zither, filling the air with enchanting music.
"My Lord, allow this one to dance for you!"
Just then, another beautiful woman in a dancing gown and with a seductive, fox-like face appeared. She swayed her hips and began to dance gracefully.
"Young Master, let this servant knead your hands and rub your shoulders."
A pure and bashful young girl with a pitiable expression appeared behind Su Han, evoking an irresistible urge to embrace and cherish her. All sorts of beautiful women appeared around Su Han, each one capable of plunging a man into deep infatuation, helpless to extricate himself.

Each of these women had their own unique charm, making it difficult for anyone to resist. However, Su Han’s heart already belonged to Tongyan. There was no room for anyone else.
A nice try, but you still cannot evoke memories. If you could, this would be truly impossible to defend against. Su Han looked calmly at the throng of beauties before him, his heart unstirred.
When the Heartless Holy Son discovered that the seduction tactic was also ineffective, he changed his approach again. Yet no matter how he varied his tactics, he could not injure Su Han.
The Heartless Holy Son’s Heart Sword Technique was indeed remarkable, but these were all figments of his own imagination, not images from Su Han’s heart. He could not truly tempt Su Han unless he could evoke his actual memories and immerse him in them. However, such a feat was likely beyond even the Holy Master of the Heart Sword Sacred Palace.
Fear, greed, lust, pride, anger, envy, sloth... this Heart Sword Technique is designed to prey upon the seven emotions and six desires, making it nearly impossible to defend against.
Having experienced the various forms of the Heart Sword Technique, Su Han gained new insights. This was a fusion of Illusion Technique and swordsmanship, a unique approach that gave him a new perspective on the path of the sword. Unfortunately for his opponent, the Heartless Holy Son’s power was too limited to harm him. Otherwise, Su Han might have already been defeated.
"Heartless and Spiritless!"
At that moment, the Heartless Holy Son used his Holy Artifact. An Illusory Sword materialized before Su Han and slashed down at his head. This sword was no longer a mere illusion, but a real weapon capable of injuring Su Han.
Unfortunately, the Heartless Holy Son still underestimated Su Han. Faced with this Illusory Sword, Su Han had a thought. Instantly, one hundred and eight Divine Sense Stellars lit up, transforming into a Divine Sense Star Map that rolled forward to crush the Illusory Sword.
BOOM!
At the moment of collision, the world before Su Han’s eyes shook violently. Cracks spread across it like a shattered mirror on the verge of collapsing. Su Han’s Divine Sense was simply too powerful, and the Divine Sense Star Map formed by the one hundred and eight Divine Sense Stellars was unparalleled. It annihilated the Illusory Sword with overwhelming force and shattered the world around him.
The darkness dissipated, and light returned to Su Han’s vision as everything reverted to reality.
COUGH!
The Heartless Holy Son stumbled backward, spewing a mouthful of blood. His face was ashen, and his Aura had grown feeble and weak.
He stared at Su Han, his heart filled with unwillingness, but he had no choice but to admit defeat.
"I am defeated!"
