Not only did Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon not understand, Lu Yang also didn't understand.
He actually chased after us...
Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon's sword intent was broken, yet he had absolutely no intention of returning to the Sword Pavilion. Instead, he left directly. Didn't this already explain his attitude toward the Sword Pavilion?
Even Lu Yang could tell that this was Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon still harboring benevolence, sparing the lives of everyone in the Sword Pavilion, and choosing to go to the Pure Land.
Otherwise, with the cruelty of the [All-Slaying] Sword Intent, what difficulty would there be in turning back to the Sword Pavilion for a massacre? At least it was much simpler than going to the Pure Land to fight Buddha Child Guang Ming head-on!
Yet even so.
This bunch of sword-idiot still didn't know what was good for them. Perfected One Warding-Evil, a dignified Great Perfected One at Foundation Establishment Perfection, actually failed to understand the implication of Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon's words.
Meanwhile, Perfected One Warding-Evil was still in a daze.
...Kill me?
Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon wants to kill me? He recognized every word of these words, but putting them together suddenly gave him an unprecedented sense of absurdity.
Because Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon didn't kill people.
This was a principle he had practiced ever since he started his third life and achieved Foundation Establishment as a sword cultivator. And now he was already in the later years of his fifth life.
Given his age, he actually shouldn't be like this.
It could only be said that this involved the Ye Family and that Perfected Lord Chengtian Zhengde. Even Perfected One Warding-Evil didn't know the details within.
He only vaguely heard about it from another Perfected Lord of the Sword Pavilion.
Thinking of this, Perfected One Warding-Evil stared fixedly at Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon: "Perfected Lord Chengtian Zhengde reconstructed your physical body back then; how much did he value you?"
"Is this how you repay him now? Repay the Sword Pavilion?"
"No wonder the Perfected Lord said back then that you are a person without a heart, born close to the Dao, viewing all things as straw dogs. Looking at it now, you really are a cold-blooded scroundel."
Perfected One Warding-Evil scolded bluntly.
However, Lu Yang heard a bit of bravado from his harsh word... Because while angrily scolding, Perfected One Warding-Evil's body was slowly moving backward.
"Why is Senior retreating?"
Lu Yang said thoughtfully: "Come closer and see more clearly."
Perfected One Warding-Evil didn't respond. He wasn't a fool. It was just as Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon said—having stayed in the Sword Pavilion for a long time, doing things and behaving according to the conduct of the Sword Pavilion, plus being at Foundation Establishment Perfection and having a stereotype of Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon, he didn't react for a moment.
Now he saw that Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon was serious.
How did he dare to stay longer?
In a flash, Perfected One Warding-Evil forming a sword seal. His fingertips already held a Divine Ability, and without a word, he threw it toward Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon—
[Gold-Burying Earth]!
This was a [Xin Metal] Divine Ability, combining with [Si Fire]. Si was the fire of the furnace and smelter, containing Wu Earth inside. Metal buried within could not change form; what difference was it from death?
Boom!
For a time, Lu Yang only felt his vision go black, and the sword foundation within his body also became heavy. His state was actually affected by the aftershock of this Divine Ability.
This Divine Ability specifically counters metal and iron!
Sword cultivators were also among them!
If it were my previous Natural Immortal Spirit main body, relying on this Divine Ability alone, plus the Foundation Establishment Perfection stature, this person would probably be enough to easily subdue me!
If I'm not mistaken, this was probably refined specifically to deal with Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon... What deep hatred exactly is there between this Perfected One Warding-Evil and Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon? Targeting him like this, not hesitating to use an important Innate Divine Ability—is he not afraid of cutting off his Dao path... Oh, he cultivates [White Wax Gold].
His Dao path was broken long ago.
In that case, what about Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon?
Lu Yang hurriedly looked sideways... and then he saw a beam of light.
This light wasn't dazzling; instead, it carried a bit of softness, yet it made it hard to look away. Just like that, it lightly shone toward Perfected One Warding-Evil in the distance.
Crack!
Without a bit of suspense, [Gold-Burying Earth], which Perfected One Warding-Evil activated with full force and had maxed-out restraint against sword cultivators, was slashed into powder like a joke.
"Ah!!!"
At this moment, Perfected One Warding-Evil completely threw away his usual calmness and aloofness. With a fling of his sleeve, he released countless Spirit Treasures!
This was his first time facing Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon's sword directly. Observing from the side usually, he didn't feel anything. Even in that battle where Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon beheaded Buddhist Daughter Jing Guan with three strikes, he was watching too. Nothing impressive, just three very ordinary strikes, making one feel the Buddhist Daughter was too weak.
But now he didn't think so anymore.
Only when truly facing Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon's sword could one thoroughly experience how terrifying it was. It didn't look like something a Foundation Establishment Perfected One could comprehend at all!
Except for a Golden Core Perfected Lord, who can face this sword directly?
Am I going to die? Impossible!
Perfected One Warding-Evil desperately activated his Divine Ability to escape, still in disbelief in his heart:
He dares to kill me? He really wants to kill me!
That's right... a dying man, what does he not dare to do?
Rather, why did I come here... No! Someone is influencing me in the dark!?
—Who is it!?
In this instant, Perfected One Warding-Evil felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. However, he had no mind to continue thinking because Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon's sword light had arrived.
Slash!
In an instant, heaven and earth turned black and white, divided into two sides.
One side was bright as day like the rising sun; the other was shrouded in darkness, making it hard to see. Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon's sword light resided right in the center.
"Ah!!!"
In this black and white scene, Perfected One Warding-Evil's five Divine Abilities bloomed with brilliance, yet were simultaneously annihilated. His body also exploded into sky-filling flesh and blood, shooting in all directions. They were all refined into ashes by the sword light, with only a wisp of light disappearing into the horizon.
"Trying to flee..." Lu Yang immediately rubbed his fists and wiped his palms.
After all, this was a Golden Nature! And heavily injured by Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon. As an excellent Saint Sect Perfected One, what he liked doing most was beating a drowning dog!
"No need to chase."
Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon shook his head upon seeing this: "Having been hit by my [All-Slaying], death is only a matter of time. My days are numbered. Lets go to the Pure Land as soon as possible to end it all".
Lu Yang immediately restrained his demeanor upon hearing this: "This disciple obeys."
There is no rush.
After all, this one of his was just an incarnation with low cultivation base, mainly responsible for suffering hardships. Even if he really chased over, he might not be able to take him down.
Better leave this kind of enjoyable thing to the main body.
…
Sword Pavilion, Extreme Heaven Cliff.
The collision between Perfected One Warding-Evil and Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon wasn't concealed. At least for a Foundation Establishment Perfection Great Perfected One, it wasn't to the point of being unable to even spectate the battle.
However, right now, Ye Shaoying wished he hadn't seen it.
"He killed someone..."
This Ye Family Patriarch hadn't even recovered his senses, looking like his soul had flown beyond the heavens: "Guangji... he's not being manipulated, but killing people out of his own will?"
How could this be?
Wasn't he suppose to no-kill?
Even if the sword intent was broken, he should still be that old nice guy who sweeps the floor without hurting ants' lives, someone you could be bullied casually. Why did he want to kill people?
Thinking of this, Ye Shaoying's face was instantly covered with cold sweat, especially after seeing Perfected One Warding-Evil, who made all sorts of promises to the Ye Family in the past, flee back in a sorry state.
His teeth trembled slightly... until seeing that Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon not returning but continuing to walk away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Phew... thank goodness!
Ye Shaoying grinned: Guangji... Vanquishing-Demon is ultimately sentimental. The Ye Family gave birth to him and raised him; he remembers after all and won't go on a killing spree...
With this thought, his mind instantly became active.
[All-Slaying Sword Intent]?
Such a powerful sword intent... what is the sword art? He actually didn't leave the corresponding method in the clan; does this mean he doesnt trust the clan?"
Even a sword intent of Perfected One Warding-Evil couldn't stop it—if the Ye Family could obtain it...
Before Ye Shaoying could recover from his fantasy.
Boom!
A loud noise suddenly came from outside the Sword Pavilion's mountain gate, causing countless Sword Pavilion disciples to look up, revealing expressions of disbelief.
"Who... dares to offend my Sword Pavilion?"
"You got some nerve.. where did this demon come from?"
"You're courting death!"
Even Ye Shaoying turned his gaze curiously, only to see a handsome young man standing leisurely with his hands behind his back in the clouds outside the Sword Pavilion.
"This is... that outer heavens rogue cultivator?"
"Why did he come here?"
Ye Shaoying recognized the other party. He saw the other party seemed to sense his divine sense, turned his head and revealed a kindly smile toward him.
In an instant, a bad premonition arose in Ye Shaoying's heart.
The necomer was unkind!
—And the fact was indeed so.
Outside the Sword Pavilion, Lu Yang looked at the Sword Pavilion's mountain gate before him with burning eyes. Intense greed seemed to turn into a ball of raging fire, making him increasingly excited.
This was simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
In the Jiangnan region, Perfected Lords were in seclusion. Of the two Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators of the Sword Pavilion, one left and one was heavily injured. The current Sword Pavilion was an empty shell!
Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon won't go on a killing spree in the Sword Pavilion because he has a bottom line. He can't bear to act against the Ye Family that gave birth to him and raised him, nor is he willing to implicate the innocent.
But i don't have any of that!!
