Volume 4: The Name of the Heavenly Sword Chapter 59: Human Nature is Greedy

  "I seem to have realized..."

  "When" "When" "When"……

  Just as Tang An was thinking of this, the killing sword in his heart suddenly shook violently. The originally condensed sword yuan seemed to be about to split open, shatter and turn into powder.

  The sword connected with Tang An's heart and soul, it trembled, instantly, Tang An felt his innermost soul also trembling. This heartbreaking pain was unbearable. His face lost its vitality in an instant, black air spread all over, just like a dead person.

  "Ah"

  Tang An suddenly let out a loud roar like a madman. His eyes lost their human color in that instant and turned into an eerie black again. The pupils of his eyes became endless blackness, without any whites, with large irises that seemed to have no edges, just like a demon.

  In an instant, endless killing intent surged up from his body. This killing intent was so pure

  The long gown rustled loudly under the surging killing intent, and danced wildly in the wind.

  And the grass and trees under him, under the pressure of this killing intent, all began to wither. The lush green mountains and rivers closest to him suddenly began to wither and turn black at a visible speed, losing their vitality...

  As the withered grass and trees lost their vitality in an instant, a surge of green, vibrant essence began to gather, eventually being pulled together by an invisible thread, forming a crystal-like beam of light. The moment this beam condensed, it started moving towards Tang An.

  Under the essence of circulation, it suddenly entered Tang An's body and was absorbed by the killing sword Yuanjian in his heart.

  Having absorbed these essences of life, the Killing Sword once again became condensed, dark, mysterious and terrifying...

  After Jianjian Yuan stabilized, Tang An's mind finally calmed down as well, and his soul no longer felt the pain of being crushed.

  "Hmm"

  A mouthful of thick, black blood spewed out from Tang An's mouth, and his face regained a bit of its rosiness. The eerie, pitch-black eyes began to recede, and the ruthless gaze was replaced by an incredulous one.

  "It was a close call, if I hadn't turned my mind around in time, I'm afraid my soul would have been shattered by this killing sword. This killing sword is indeed ferocious. When cultivating, it kills people, demons, and gods to absorb their essence, but now, I don't want to be influenced by this killing intent anymore, I want to revert back to myself, I want to reverse the killing sword's training and give birth to a living sword, but it has actually developed a self-protection consciousness and even wants to devour my soul."

  Tang An's heart still had lingering fears, this Slaughter Dao Yuan Sword was truly too terrifying. At present, unless he severed the Slaughter Dao Yuan Sword from his heart and spirit, uprooted it completely, forgot all sword intent, and chose to abandon his martial arts, otherwise, he might never be able to escape the control of this killing intent.

  The end of this road is just a grave

  "I've gone too far to turn back now. From the moment I set foot on this path, there's been no turning back. Unless I die or abandon the ten years of bitter cultivation, I'll spend my entire life as that ruthless person, cultivating the killing dao, slaughtering countless emotions. With hatred in my heart, I can exterminate gods and demons. But if my heart were like a clear mirror, untainted and unblemished, how could I have set foot on this path of slaughter? This is a path that only retains the intention to kill, without any thought for life... it's not a path that humans should cultivate..."

  "Was I wrong?"

  "I'm right"

  "I don't kill people, yet people want to kill me. I only kill for the sake of survival."

  Could Tang An think of this, but suddenly a thought popped up in his mind: "But now, is there still someone who can kill me?"

  As soon as this problem appeared, it was like a seed sprouting and taking root, firmly planted in Tang An's mind. It lingered and wandered, unable to be shaken off.

  "I just want to be a normal person, with emotions and love, with tears and laughter, is it really that hard?"

  Just then, one of the seven swords of Mount Shu suddenly shone brightly, drawing Tang An's attention back to reality.

  Now, thinking about these things seems unnecessary, as there is still this great dragon in the sky that needs to be dealt with.

  Not far away, Li Wuhuan drew out the Red Gold Sword and pointed at the Great Demon Cloud Heaven Dragon, shouting angrily: "I, Li Wuhuan, don't care if you're a demon or a dragon, but today you dare to destroy the foundation of my Shu Mountain and cut off the transmission of my Red Gold Sword. I will make sure you die a terrible death!"

  "Go die"

  Li Wuhuan angrily shouted, and suddenly, the red gold sword light burst forth, stabbing towards Da Mochen Tianlong.

  Li Wuhuan made a move, and the rest of the Shu Mountain leaders watched as their own mountain peak collapsed. The disciples wailed in grief. The entire Shu Mountain was transformed beyond recognition, no longer what it once was. Fury surged in his heart, and he didn't care if the person opposite him was the Heavenly Dragon or the Earthly Demon. Suddenly, the sword light in his hand danced wildly, all shooting towards Da Moyun Tianlong.

  Cang Feng shook his head and sighed, today's affairs were no longer within his control. The other six vein leaders had all risen to the challenge, and the Shu Mountain Seven Veins had always been united in their struggles against a common enemy. As the leader, he also had no reason to retreat.

  Cang Feng's handheld sword transformed into a green light and shot straight at the giant dragon in the sky.

  For a time, sword lights intersected in mid-air, the dragon's roar unceasing in their ears, both sides had already begun to fight.

  The old Taoist looked at the ferocious appearance of the seven people from Shu Mountain and thought to himself that it seemed like they were going to fight to the death. He couldn't bear it anymore, his heart was itching to act, so he quickly pulled on the sleeve of the unhappy Taoist and asked: "Brother, when are we going to make our move? That big Mo Yun Tian Long, although it's no longer a demon, has still harmed countless living beings and done evil deeds. If we kill it today and take its blood, it will be a case of retribution, and we can't be blamed for being ruthless."

  Looking at the Da Muyun Tianlong fighting with the Shu Mountain Seven Extremes Sword in the sky, his ferocious appearance was fully revealed, without any hint of a divine dragon, only the ferocity of a demon. He sighed and said: "It's alright, although it has already understood good and evil and is no longer a demon, but it has done evil today and must bear the corresponding consequences. Shu Mountain has been destroyed, and the seven heads are filled with sorrow. As fellow Taoists, we should empathize with them. Let them take revenge first. We'll wait here until the seven heads of Shu Mountain have had enough, then we'll make our move. As for those people from Nanjiang and Kunlun, I ordered my disciples to delay them for a while."

  Buleidao Ren finished speaking, summoned his disciples, and explained the situation to the lower-ranking disciples one by one. After listening, more than a dozen lower-ranking disciples changed their expressions, understood their tasks, and immediately bowed and retreated, going to intercept people from Kunlun and Nanjiang.

  "Master Tang, how is your preparation?" asked the Old Daoist, turning around to ask Tang An.

  Tang An's complexion was still somewhat pale, but his mind had already stabilized. He knew that this was not the time to consider life and death, getting the Tianlong flesh was the top priority at the moment.

  But he gazed at the majestic dragon in the sky and felt deeply moved.

  "No matter how many years you cultivate, break the seal and rush out of the earth palace. Even if you successfully transform into a dragon and become a heavenly dragon body, it's just a precious medicine or treasure in others' eyes. Those who claim to want to slay demons and eliminate evil, do they really have any intention of upholding justice in their hearts? They're all just excuses for their own greedy nature."

  Tang An thought to himself, but then he couldn't help but mock himself: "Actually, what's the difference between me and others? In the end, I'm just a common person too. People can't help but be greedy. It's precisely because I'm afraid of death that I've been cultivating so desperately to reach my current level, and now I don't want to give it up, trapping myself in my own cocoon. Because I'm infatuated with this unparalleled martial art, I don't want to abandon the difficult-to-cultivate Killing Dao Yuan Sword and return to being ordinary. Because I no longer believe in the justice of this world. In my eyes, the righteousness of this world is just a pile of crap. If you die today, it's only because you're not strong enough."

  The old Taoist saw that Tang An was not speaking and thought he was worried that his previous words would not count, so he added: "This big Mo Yun Tian Long is one of the nine true dragons in the immortal world. Compared to the tiger python earlier, the spiritual energy contained in its blood and flesh is even more abundant, and the dragon's blood is also purer. It has a great use for your cultivation of the Qinglong Fa Xiang. I said earlier that we don't want the blood and flesh, only the divine dragon spirit. Next, my master will take out the Purple Qi Town Soul Tower to fix the soul of the Tian Long, and then the four of us will work together. With the help of the Qian Kun Yang Guo, even if the skin of the Tian Long is thick, it will definitely not be able to withstand."

  Tang An didn't say a word, his wrist moved slightly, and the Wind Chasing Spirit Sword appeared in his hand. This spirit sword was a top-grade spirit artifact, although it couldn't compare to the Killing Sword's might, its wind attribute energy was dense and flowing, with a bright blue light that dazzled the eyes. It was truly an invaluable treasure.

  "Cut the crap. You go first next time, I'll follow suit. You want me to go first and attract that dragon's attention? I'm not that stupid."

  The old Taoist's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he muttered to himself, "How could it be? How could it be? I'm not old, but I'm not that kind of person."

  But he saw the spiritual instrument in Tang An's hand, and with just one glance, his heart was shocked: "How does he also have a spiritual instrument? Looking at the spirituality and halo of this spiritual instrument in his hand, it is at least a high-quality spiritual instrument. Could he have also entered the Maze Path? But that can't be right, if he had entered the Maze Path, he wouldn't be unaware of the demon's affairs. This matter is truly strange..."

  Just as Bao Dao Ren was lost in thought, someone in the Shu Shan Seven Extremes Sword suddenly let out a miserable cry, struck by the wind and thunder of Da Mo Yun Tian Long.

  The power of wind and thunder converges, with endless killing intent.

  The man was struck in an instant, his whole body charred black and turned into ash. With a "boom", he fell from high above.

  Shu Mountain's Seven Absolute Swordsmen lost one, and their sword formation collapsed. The remaining six no longer had the intimidation of the sword formation, and in less than a moment, they were each struck down by Da Mo Yun Tian Long. They flew out backwards, spitting blood, severely injured, their entire body's vitality dimming.

  At this moment, the six of them were suspended in mid-air, already on their last breath, and it was hard for them to even protect themselves, let alone fight against the Great Mo Cloud Heaven Dragon again.

  "It's now, let's get started"

  Buleidao Ren looked at the timing and had arrived, let out a loud roar, instantly, a purple light burst into the sky, covering the Great Mahayana Tianlong. Afterwards, Bulei, Busheng, Bulao, Tang An, four people without hesitation, with sword lights and artifacts in hand, rushed towards the Great Mahayana Tianlong from all sides.
