Free Web NovelChapter 1460: Chapter 132: Time Shows No Mercy
I thought searching for the Blood Avatar would take a lot of time, but unexpectedly, the Blood Avatar appeared on its own to attack. It probably relied on its battle skills, disregarding Jiang Wang at the Inner Mansion level.
Perhaps, this is also the reason Yu Beidou invited him...
In a narrow encounter, life and death are at stake.
Jiang Wang’s few sword strikes were ineffective. He immediately matched the brilliance of the Five Mansions, showcasing his strongest form, and with the peak sword momentum of the Inner Mansion level, directly crushed forward.
However, the man clad in Ming Guang armor wielded a large guandao as if it were an embroidery needle, moving it with agility. In mid-air, it swayed swiftly to left and right, dragon-like and phoenix-like, crafting a grand narrative! freewebnσvel.cøm
The blade’s light shone like the sun’s shadow, penetrating everywhere, falling everywhere.
It actually used much weaker power to cut into the sword momentum.
Passing through from various angles, continuously weakening this sword strike.
Yet, it was like facing a falling mountain; no matter how much you reduce it with a little knife, a mountain remains a mountain.
There are limits to skill; the end of the Inner Mansion Realm is the limit of this guandao.
No matter how agile it is, no matter how exquisite the sword skill it can display, even if it is the absolute summit sword style passed on by a True Monarch, in the hands of a Neifu Cultivator, it is still just at the Inner Mansion level!
Thus, the sword struck down.
The Ming Guang armor shattered directly, and the man holding the guandao had his entire chest and abdomen pierced through—
It was a huge hole, large enough to allow an adult to poke their head through.
This person, however, showed no expression, as if feeling no pain, and was absolutely unshaken. The guandao in his hand still moved mysteriously, silently approaching Jiang Wang’s neck.
Knowing that this man was transformed from the Blood Demon’s Blood Avatar, Jiang Wang naturally didn’t think a single sword piercing the abdomen had solved the opponent,
Whoosh~
A wisp of frost-white wind gently blew through the hollow in the man’s chest and abdomen. It seemed to soothe his pain, comfort the organs torn by Sword Qi...
Yet, wherever the frosty wind reached, everything was annihilated.
This kind of soothing was obviously not something the other party welcomed.
The man’s guandao aimed to cut, yet could no longer fall, because his arm had already been blown to pieces!
His entire body crumbled inch by inch, shattering into specks of blood beads, floating in the air.
Then, that guandao and flying fragments of armor all turned into blood, scattering across the sky.
Jiang Wang used the dazzling Kasaya to sweep up all this scattered blood into it. The Kasaya naturally tightened, forming a bundle.
This dazzling "bundle" occasionally swelled, clearly indicating the restless concoction of Blood Avatar within.
But the divine light flowing on the Kasaya securely suppressed it.
Jiang Wang, holding the Kasaya bundle in one hand, turned to fly back, the five bright sources on his body gradually dimmed, walking on Qingyun with grace, yet carrying a sense of unfinished business.
It must be said, this man transformed from the Blood Avatar was indeed an extremely rare opponent, and in terms of battle skills, certainly surpassed him by a head.
However, against the absolute power of the Five Mansions shining together, it withstood too briefly, making him unable to fully showcase everything.
After achieving Tianfu, he’s been focused on cultivation, never having a suitable opponent to test his sword, not without the solitude of a longsword carrying the world’s advantages.
Today’s battle, though spectacular, ended too quickly, only a shallow taste.
Yet, if Jiang Wang were to deliberately delay to fully enjoy the battle, giving this Blood Avatar-created opponent opportunities, he would never agree.
The duel in a narrow encounter is simple: the victor lives, the loser dies.
Refining battle skills and comprehending moves all come after winning or losing.
Jiang Wang has always been clear-minded.
The Knife Coin turned, still leading the way, with Jiang Wang closely following, flying towards the Rocky Valley.
The job done, it’s time to seek the reward.
...
...
Inside the Rocky Valley, in the cavern on the cliff face.
The ethereal Yu Beidou sat cross-legged in mid-air, holding the Blood Demon fast, yet also being held back by the Blood Demon.
This body, now appearing as Yang Country’s Chief Eunuch Liu Huai, the emotionless Blood Demon body, was cultivated from the Love Dying Desire Blood Demon Skill.
During this time, it underwent ownership by three successive masters: the last emperor of Yang Country Yang Jiande, Yang Country’s Chief Eunuch Liu Huai, and the general Jingye of Yingguang City in Rong Country.
Among these three, Yang Jiande firmly controlled this Demon Art, wielding the Power of the Devil, yet every word and deed came from his true nature. At most, it was due to cultivating this Demon Art, gradually extinguishing emotions.
Liu Huai was entirely devoured and manipulated by this Demon Art, lacking any personal consciousness. While Jingye, the general of Yingguang City, during the investigation of heavy casualties in the city, was killed by Liu Huai, devoured by the Love Dying Desire Blood Demon Skill, thus losing his self as well.
Rather than saying Liu Huai and Jingye were the latter two owners of the Love Dying Desire Blood Demon Skill, it’s more accurate to call them two puppets of the Demon Art.
Yang Jiande was slain by the Life-cutting Blade, with no chance of recovery. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Liu Huai, when faced with Yu Beidou in Yingguang City, used up all means, roaming all over the Eastern Region, eventually fleeing all the way to the Broken Soul Gorge, yet was still subdued.
He could only divide a small portion of the Blood Avatar, taking form as Jingye, to rescue later.
But this had long been calculated by Yu Beidou, to the extent that he was waiting for this step.
Before entering the Broken Soul Gorge, Yu Beidou had already urgently contacted Jiang Wang who was still in Zhao Country. Not long after the Blood Demon divided the Blood Avatar, Jiang Wang had already entered the Broken Soul Gorge.
Yu Beidou, while suppressing Liu Huai, also instructed Jiang Wang to hunt down that mass of Blood Avatar, intending to use the Blood Avatar as the basis, with the help of the natural formation of Rocky Valley, to obliterate the Blood Demon.
He claimed to "calculate like a deity," yet it was not entirely a boast.
At this moment, Liu Huai, with a pale face and no beard, was confined on the ground, while the high-seated, sage-like Yu Beidou sat in mid-air.
A sigh suddenly fell.
"Alas..."
Liu Huai remained silent, Yu Beidou pondered in silence, where did this sigh come from?
The cave was cold and desolate.
A middle-aged man dressed in literati attire brought forth the answer.
This person, with three locks of long beard and a lean face, looked very much like a scholar.
But those who truly knew his identity could not remain calm.
The Diviner, one of the Nine Great Demon Men!
Each life, a prediction.
He walked into the cave with a mysterious smile, lifting his eyes to gaze at Yu Beidou, who sat cross-legged in mid-air.
"Uncle Master, it’s been a long time since we spoke!" he said. "How have you been? Are you sleeping well each night?"
Yu Beidou still pointed the Sword Qi at the Blood Demon on the ground, his body unmoving, simply replying, "Didn’t we just meet last time in Yingguang City? We should have had a good chat then, but you ran off too quickly!"
The Diviner patted his own forehead: "Ah yes, watch my memory."
He sighed again, somewhat mournfully, saying, "Even I am starting to age, time shows no mercy, Uncle Master."
"At our age, what is there to not understand?" Yu Beidou said in a weary voice. "See, Uncle Master is very open-minded; seeing you before me, I don’t even make a move."
The Diviner restrained his mournful expression, smiling as he looked at him: "Isn’t it because Uncle Master is now unable to move?"
Yu Beidou was silent for a moment, then said, "I mostly just don’t feel like moving now. Good nephew, don’t force Uncle Master to uphold great justice and destroy family ties."
"Great, justice, destroying, family." The Diviner muttered softly, then raised his head, his eyes already filled with unbridled killing intent, yet his voice was gentle: "I am just thinking of cutting open Uncle Master’s heart, to see what great justice looks like, what color it is..."
