Chapter 41: Sword Feed

  Yin and Yang twin swords, one black and one white, dazzling and eye-catching. The black one, with a dark aura, resembles a demonic flame, while the white one, with its pure white light, is like a sacred fire!

  These two kinds of sword auras, at this moment both shot towards Tang An fiercely!

  Tang An saw the sword light rushing towards him, but his face was cold and stern, neither surprised nor flustered. His right hand grasped the killing sword, emitting infinite violent energy, releasing all the demonic energy of Wang Ruitu's phantom body that he had swallowed up that day.

  For a time, between heaven and earth, wails and howls echoed, as terrifying demonic illusions began to flash frequently in the sky.

  Tang An's body was shrouded in a dark aura that made him look like an extraordinary demon god!

  "Hahaha!"

  Black and white twin swords, two sword lights came together, two stocks of completely different energies tore open the void in an instant. In the void, layers of fractures as wide as thumbs began to appear continuously.

  The void was constantly being torn apart by the two sword lights, and began to heal itself incessantly. A massive energy storm intensified in mid-air!

  "Boom!"

  Tang An's killing sword in his hand was flashing with an extremely thick black killing aura, and collided fiercely with Wuji's two yin-yang swords!

  Suddenly, a dazzling energy sphere burst out in mid-air.

  Under the fluctuation of energy, the originally black fractured layer was torn even more fiercely. The void seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

  This energy radiated to the ground, instantly blasting those freshly fallen rocks again. On the streets, at this time, boulders were flying through the air, and huge rocks mixed with mud and water "crashed" down. Houses were destroyed one by one by this massive shockwave.

  The residents of Lin'an City in the south heard this sound and thought it was an earthquake, so they all rushed out of their doors with their heads in their hands, looking up at the sky to the northwest.

  In the sky of Beicheng, two colors of light halos are currently engaged in a fierce battle. The "hissing" sound of energy collisions is endless.

  The crowd, having heard the heart-stopping sound, looked up at the sky to find that an eerie sun had appeared out of thin air, casting Lin'an City in a half-dark, half-white glow, as if it had sunk into a gray abyss.

  "Is this... the end of the world?"

  Ordinary residents stared blankly at the spectacle in mid-air, feeling the ground transmitting tremors non-stop, as if the sky and earth were about to collapse, and doomsday was approaching. Suddenly, great fear began to sweep over their hearts.

  There are families in the north of the city, this morning they were rushed to the south by a group of Tianxian sect disciples. At this moment, I only feel that my brain is a mess, looking at the sky and feeling the tremors on the ground, with some trepidation, I ask: "Didn't the left envoy say that he wanted to kill people in the north? But what kind of person can make such a commotion?"

  "Look at the scene in the sky, do you need to make such a big fuss just to kill one person? Which family is being affected this time? Is it to slay demons or destroy gods?! Lin'an City is almost torn apart, how can they still not be done yet?!" He said, looking worriedly in the direction of his home.

  There is a courtyard in his house, although the courtyard is small, but he has spent countless efforts to take care of it, and even invited many gardening masters to play with many elegant things inside. But this movement, I'm afraid that even the city will collapse, and the precious things at home are probably all gone long ago.

  "Boom!"

  Just then, another earth-shattering crash came again. He felt the ground under his feet shaking even more violently. On top of the house, tiles began to fall down with a loud "crash", smashing onto the ground and shattering into countless pieces.

  He suddenly looked worried, and later simply waved his hand, and simply didn't think about it: "Forget it, forget it, if this continues, my life will be gone. I should have hidden in the villa outside the city like Wan Yuanwai and others. What's the point of coming here? Do I want to be on tenterhooks all the time?"

  ……

  Inside the Tang's mansion

  Ming Ruo Gu's face was filled with a smile as he sat upright in his high position, unwilling to yield.

  Xiao Xie was giggling and pinching pieces of pastry, stuffing them into her seemingly bottomless little belly. As she ate, she looked at the Tang couple with suspicion.

  Tang's father was stout, with a face full of fat, and his originally round and plump face should have looked festive. But at this moment, Xiao Xie felt that Tang's father had a funeral expression on his festive face.

  Tang's mother was much more meticulous than Tang's father. Seeing Mu Hongyu and Xiao Xie, she had already guessed half of it. She just looked at their faces, which were clearly showing a hint of intimacy, and the big girl's face still had a hint of shyness. Usually, the two should be her son's companions.

  But they are now following the purple-golden figure, with the bright valley's body behind them, amidst the flowing sun, moon and stars. Tang Mu can't fathom the relationship between them, her face a mix of joy and worry.

  Tang Fu had been a capable eagle claw under Ming Ruo Gu, so he naturally knew that Ming Ruo Gu's temperament was unpredictable. Although he had been his subordinate back then, perhaps, he had never taken himself to heart.

  A subordinate of Tianren Wuchongjing is indeed dispensable in the eyes of Mingruo Valley.

  At the moment he saw Ming Ruo Gu coming in, Tang Fu felt that his whole person was going to die, and his body had cooled down by half.

  Under the vast sky, Ming Ruoxi is a top-notch figure wherever she goes. Whatever she wants to do, no one in this world can stop her. Now that she's here, could it be that she's come to take the lives of my entire family?

  Tang Fu's face was covered in cold sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe it off even once. He just stood at the foot of the stairs with his head bowed, not daring to lift it up even a little bit. This fear of Ming Ruo Yu had been ingrained in him since the day he joined Quan Tian Jiao, and even though twenty years had passed without seeing Ming Ruo Yu again, this habit had already been etched into his soul.

  Tang Fu hung his head, his face ashen. But he thought for a moment, the worst outcome today was that his entire Tang family would be killed. Apart from this, what else was there to fear? Even if he humbled himself and yielded, he couldn't change his circumstances.

  Thinking of this, he suddenly summoned up his courage, lifted his head and stared straight at Ming Yu.

  Ming Ruo's appearance remains unchanged. Even though they haven't seen each other for twenty years, Tang Fu recognized him at a glance and recalled the days of old!

  The man before me is the Zhun Tian Zu Shi who shook the world with his power back then!

  Ming Ruo Guo sat on the high seat, facing Tang Fu's gaze, and smiled faintly.

  Tang Fu saw this smile and for some reason, his courage was halved in an instant.

  Ming Ruo Gu looked at Tang Fu, who was somewhat shrinking back, but still holding his breath, not wanting to reveal his fearful and conflicted expression. Suddenly, he let out a light laugh and said: "Are you really his father? I don't think so! Back then, you were hesitant and indecisive in your actions. Now it seems that these twenty years have not changed you at all!"

  Back then you wanted to leave the church, why didn't you tell me? If you had said something, maybe I would have agreed. You were afraid that I would refuse, but weren't you also afraid that I would get angry and kill your whole family?

  You don't speak, and it's not my fault that I won't show you any mercy. You've been in Yangzhou for ten years, and I have countless ways to make you die. I'm not killing you, nor is it because of the wealth you possess. My family doesn't lack money, and whatever I want to do in this world is very simple for me, which you should be well aware of.

  "You were supposed to leave, and it didn't matter to me because you were nothing in my eyes anyway, not worth worrying about. But the biggest mistake of your life is that you didn't kill all the people who should be killed!"

  Tang Fu nodded listlessly, having already understood. In the Quan Tian Sect, although Ming Ruo Gu was in charge, he never interfered with the internal conflicts and grudges among his subordinates. Tang Tian Jing had offended many people when handling affairs in the past, but only Bai Zhi Shan had the ability to dig him out. The person who should be killed was naturally referring to Bai Zhi Shan.

  Unfortunately, it's now too late to say these things. That's why Ming Ruo Gu will just smile.

  Ming Ruo Valley Station stood up and walked to Tang Fu's side, gazing deeply at the black and white light shadows in mid-air. Outside, it was a shocking and earth-shaking scene, but inside the Tang Mansion, everything seemed normal, even the air flowed smoothly as usual, without any tension.

  This world is already completely under the control of Mingruo Valley!

  Ming Ruo Valley looked up at the sky for a moment, then turned back and continued to say to Tang Fu: "Look over there, your son is back! At 16 years old, he's already such a master. Such a genius, even I feel inferior! Given time, he will surely astonish everyone under heaven, including me."

  Considering your past merits, I had intended to keep you captive until death. Fortunately, however, you have a good son.

  The name Tian Jian, I really like it! Whoever dares to call himself by this name will certainly not be an ordinary person! Today, I have seen his talent, which is thousands of times better than my stupid apprentice! You have such a good son, even I am envious of your luck!

  "Look at the sky, those two are indeed the greatest geniuses under heaven. What a pity! All who have great ambitions and achieve great things do so by trampling over others' corpses to establish their own success. Now that I'm sitting here today, I want to see how your son will trample over my disciple's corpse to become the greatest figure under heaven!"

  "Genius isn't just something you brag about. My disciple has been obstinate for so many years, unable to see through it, and even if he died, it would be his own fault! He was originally a fine jade, but unfortunately, he chose to become a dead jade himself. I'll let him see that in this world, who is the real genius!"

  If anyone else in the world had said this, Tang would have thought he was crazy. Even if a disciple is useless, they are still one's own disciple; for a master to watch his disciple go to their death is utterly absurd! But since it was Ming Ruo Gu who said this, then it was perfectly normal.

  Because Ming Ruo Gu is a lunatic! A thorough and complete lunatic!

  Xiao Xie suddenly jumped out from the side, panting and asking Ming Ruogu: "Ming's brother, what you just said is wrong. I, Xiao Xie, am the greatest genius in this world. Those two combined can't beat me. And your disciple can't even beat Tang An, you're sending him to his death! You're the worst master in the world. My master may often spank me, but I know she likes me deep down and always goes easy on me. You're a big bad egg, the worst person I've ever seen. You're really too evil!"

  Ming Ruo Gu heard this, but instead burst out laughing: "You don't understand, Xiao Xie. My disciple has already gone mad, look at his crazed expression, he's already lost to demonic possession. No one in the world can save him now. I couldn't bring myself to kill him, so I've kept him locked up in Jun Tian Sect all this time. Today, after much difficulty, I finally found someone who can kill him. Look, your friend's swordsmanship is getting more and more ruthless today, isn't it? I know the swordsmanship he practices requires constant killing to approach perfection. Let me whisper a secret to you, my Yin Yang Decree is actually a fragment of the Tian Jian diagram from the Tong Tian Tu, cultivating it to the extreme can make one an immortal. He's already slaughtered the Illusory Demon, this time if I let him kill another False God, do you think his swordsmanship can approach perfection?"

  "If he has also reached the Great Heaven Realm, on the Avenue of Heaven, do you think he would be willing to help me with a small favor? Hehe... I think he will. Even if he is not willing to help me, he will help Sister Yu, and Sister Yu and I are fellow travelers. At that time, there won't be room for him to hesitate either."

  Ming Ruogu said, stretching out his hand to touch Xiao Xie's head. But Xiao Xie was angry and immediately dodged his head, not letting him touch it.

  Ming Ruo Gu saw Xiao Xie's expression and knew that Xiao Xie was no longer angry after hearing this. He chuckled and continued, "Of course, Xiao Xie is also a genius. It's just that you were born different from them."

  "What's different?" Little Demon waved his small fist, his big eyes wide with excitement.

  Ming Ruo Gu chuckled and said, "Wait until you grow up, then you'll know."

  Xiao Xie heard the two words "grow up" and suddenly became sad and distressed.

  "It's already been ten years, and Xiao Xie hasn't grown up one bit. The little brats who used to call her 'Shi Jie' on the mountain have all grown taller and bigger than Xiao Xie. Even that little Shi Mei who looked like a bean sprout back then has now become elegant and refined, looking just as lovely as Xiao Mu. But Xiao Xie is still the same Xiao Xie from ten years ago. It's as if she only had a dream, and when she woke up, nothing had changed."

  Xiao Xie said, with mist in his eyes, remembering his own grievances, and suddenly forgetting his pride and competitiveness, he became heartbroken.

  "You've all been deceiving Xiao Xie, Xiao Xie will never grow up..."

  Ming Ruo Gu looked at Xiao Xie's worried appearance, still nervously chuckling: "Soon, only two years left until the 30-year period... Two years later, Uncle will take you to a place and find what belongs to you, then you'll grow up..."

  Xiao Xie suddenly lifted her head and asked, "Really?" A glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes, but soon dimmed. "You're lying, Master said the same thing to me ten years ago. But it wasn't true. You all lie to me, you're all bad people! I won't care about any of you from now on. Only Xiao Tang'an and Xiao Mu are good people, they never lie to Xiao Xie."

  Xiao Xie said, suddenly feeling hungry again, but when she turned her head around, it was Tang Mu. She suddenly discovered that Tang Mu and Xiao Tang An looked alike, especially when viewed from the side, they were extremely similar.

  Xiao Xie quickly found his own fun and skipped towards Tang Mu.

  Xiao Ye saw that Tang's mother had red eyes, as if she was anxious and about to cry. Xiao Ye then tiptoed over, used his sleeve to wipe away her tears, and said: "Tang Mama, don't worry, Little Tang An is very powerful. That blind dead guy outside looks like he's gone crazy from practicing martial arts, definitely can't beat Little Tang An. Little Tang An always says he wants to go home, but then says that the house in Zhongzhou City isn't his home, so is this place his home? It's even bigger than the one in Zhongzhou City! However, those people look really disgusting, Xiao Ye still likes Wang Ershu from Zhongzhou City. When Little Tang An wins, can we go back to Zhongzhou together?"

  Tang's mother nodded, but tears had already flowed down. She pulled Xiao Xie's hand and bowed her head: "You're right, my son will definitely win. Is your name Xiao Xie? It's a nice name, and you look clever and lovely, are you my son's friend?"

  Xiao Xie nodded, but immediately her big eyes rolled around and she thought of a great idea, yet she started shaking her head again, patting her small chest: "Little Tang An has to call me sister! That's right, sister, no mistake!"

  Xiao Xie finished speaking and thought about Tang An's helpless and embarrassed expression when he came in later, so she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  ……

  In the midst of the dazzling black and white sword lights and the eerie killing intent, Wuji and Tang An clashed with each other, their swords flashing rapidly. The battle raged from the sky to the ground, then back to the sky again, both men's speed, strength, and swordsmanship already pushed to the extreme limits.

  Two people clashed, just one collision, and they immediately passed each other by.

  With just this touch, the powerful and overwhelming air waves produced in between have already surged out in all directions like a tsunami!

  The earth was shaking, the ground had been completely turned upside down, the mud was like waves, starting from the center of the battlefield, spreading outward underground. The streets of Lin'an City were tumbling under the wave-like soil movement, and large areas of houses collapsed with a loud noise. The vast city of Lin'an, at this moment, has become a quarter of ruins.

  In the sky above, two people stood facing each other. With equally cold eyes and equally wild long hair, it was already impossible to tell who was god and who was devil.

  "How long can your true yuan support the sword in your hand? I have comprehended the way of yin and yang, and the true yuan power stored in my body is twice that of others. How can you fight me? Even if it's a battle of attrition, I'll exhaust you to death!"

  Wuji's mouth corners had already overflowed with a thread of blood, the energy collision between the two caused his body to surge with a wave of qi and blood. He found that the young man in front of him was so stubborn, wanting to defeat him would cost a price far beyond his expectations.

  Tang An's mouth also had a thread of fresh blood, he gently wiped it off, looking at Wuji, but burst out laughing: "You're wrong, you're wrong! You said so many useless words, just because your heart is guilty! Today, the one who will die must be you!"

  "The harmony of yin and yang, the transformation of heaven and earth, is indeed the way of the gods! Unfortunately, your left yin and right yang are just a clumsy trick thought up by deceitful people, in vain do you think you truly understand the way of yin and yang! What a pity, what a shame, how lamentable!"

  Wuji's face turned pale as Tang An spoke, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and the veins on his forehead bulged out, clearly unable to contain his rage!

  "Looking for death!"

  He let out a loud roar, and his sword energy surged again!
