After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 156 - Don’t Take It Seriously

Chapter 156: Don’t Take It Seriously

Jiang Huai has never liked to waste words.

In an instant, his figure disappeared from the rain curtain, and where his sword passed, it seemed to summon wind and thunder. When the sword light appeared in Mo Dan’s eyes, the sword had already pierced his eye socket, penetrating his head.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Jiang Huai immediately swung his sword again towards his head.

Even if he had Void Refining first-level cultivation, what of it?

Now they were both at Void Refining first-level, and his cultivation of the Overlord Art had reached perfection. With each sword strike, Jiang Huai recalled the bone-deep pain he felt during the cultivation of the Overlord Art, making his sword even sharper and more fierce.

“Refining Yin... help me!”

Mo Dan almost instantly called out, and in that instant, his head was split in two by Jiang Huai.

The scattered flesh and blood quickly turned into red worms, crawling back onto Mo Dan’s body, forming a new head.

As he spoke, a hazy black shadow separated from his body, which was the spirit of the Refining Yin Demon Gu. The face of the gu spirit was unclear, and at that moment, it pounced towards Jiang Huai. But in that instant, Wen Wanwan, who was standing still, had her soul already out of her body, and she swung her sword.

That sword carried the lifelong learning of Zilu True Person, bearing both Zilu True Person’s hatred and her own. Such a soul-filled sword, filled with obsession, should burn everything to ashes wherever it pointed.

The sword struck the gu spirit, which had not yet reached Jiang Huai. The originally hazy shadow of the gu spirit became even more transparent and even more tattered. It quickly retracted back into Mo Dan’s body, but Wen Wanwan’s next sword was already on its way. Her soul sword shadow stabbed directly at Mo Dan’s brow, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Mo Dan let out a pitiful howl, trying to swing his sword at Wen Wanwan, but in the next second, Jiang Huai’s sword blade severed his arm. Even if his arm turned into tiny red worms, crawling back onto his body and trying to reassemble his body, Jiang Huai’s sword soon fell again.

Chu Xianning had once taught Jiang Huai the trick of Slashing the Mist, the ultimate in fast swordsmanship, so fast that it was almost shadowless, as if it had already hit the moment the sword was drawn, unavoidable.

Jiang Huai had never possessed such surging spiritual energy. In the moment he drew his sword, he was somewhat astonished himself. It turned out his sword could be this fast. He found every acupoint on Mo Dan’s body, the sword blade piercing into each one, and all the actions were completed in an instant. An instant later, countless sword marks appeared on Mo Dan’s body, and his body disintegrated in that instant, turning into countless red worms, flying in different directions, seemingly trying to escape.

“Mirror Flower.”

In the next instant, Jiang Huai activated Mirror Flower, wrapping all the Red Worm Gu. In front of the Red Worm Gu, the path instantly lost direction, no matter how it moved forward, it would eventually return to the original place, and finally had to reassemble into Mo Dan’s body.

At this moment, Mo Dan’s face was ferocious, covered with gu patterns, and his pupils were gradually filled with black and red blood ink. The world around him seemed to begin to distort, and the wind and rain stopped in an instant, expelled from this world.

“I didn’t expect... you could push me to this point... Ye Ning sword spirit, it’s been many years since I’ve seen you,” Mo Dan’s voice came out strangely, and that voice seemed to become somewhat twisted.

The sword spirit within the Ye Ning sword instantly warned Jiang Huai.

“This aura... is the gu spirit of the Refining Yin Demon Gu. It’s going to take action itself. It has followed the Refining Yin Demon Venerable for many years and knows many of the Refining Yin Demon Venerable’s techniques!”

As the Ye Ning sword spirit spoke, countless black qi had already surged out from behind Mo Dan. The black qi condensed into two spirit swords, floating to the left and right of Mo Dan. In that instant, it opened its soul domain, trying to drag Jiang Huai into it, but Wen Wanwan immediately drew her sword, the blade injuring its soul, forcing it to abandon its soul technique.

The two spirit swords behind Mo Dan immediately stabbed at Jiang Huai. Jiang Huai gripped the spirit sword and with one strike, shattered the two spirit swords. The next sword pierced directly into Mo Dan’s chest. Mo Dan raised his hand to block with the gu sword, but the gu sword also showed many cracks in that instant, and his body was directly blasted into the ground by Jiang Huai.

The ultimate in sword cultivation is one sword that breaks all laws.

Jiang Huai’s sword might was just a moment away from falling on Mo Dan, but his figure twisted and he appeared in another place. But as soon as he avoided it, Jiang Huai’s next sword was already on its way, giving him no chance to breathe.

He used the remaining spiritual energy to instantly form a protective shield, but in the next instant, Jiang Huai’s sword edge shattered his shield. Mo Dan had to use a technique to twist his position again, but obviously, this technique consumed a lot. And when he wanted to replenish spiritual energy from this small world, he found that the spiritual energy of this world was now under Jiang Huai’s control, and not a trace of spiritual energy could be absorbed into his body.

“Why?” he couldn’t help but ask, but Jiang Huai did not give him half a word of explanation.

In the next instant, he appeared at his new position, like a mad dog that would not stop attacking, each bite aiming for his vital points.

Of course, Mo Dan could not absorb any heavenly spiritual energy because, at this moment, the fire seeds within Jiang Huai’s sea of qi were burning fiercely, influenced by the last will of the three nine-realm Immortal Venerables’ remnant souls.

Mo Dan was obviously no longer able to support the consumption of such space-tearing techniques and had to use the gu sword to block Jiang Huai’s Ye Ning. But each time he blocked, the gu sword broke a bit until after the sixth sword, it completely shattered, and Jiang Huai was once again in front of him, with nowhere to retreat.

“You have more talent than this fool called Mo Dan... Why don’t you and I join forces...”

“I’ll kill you first, then him!”

Jiang Huai glanced at Wen Wanwan, who immediately understood. She condensed her soul into the Zilu sword body, the blade slashing at Mo Dan’s brow, while Jiang Huai also struck with Water Moon, slashing at Mo Dan.

An instant later, he heard the wailing and screaming of the Refining Yin poison spirit, and this time, it seemed that Mo Dan’s body was back in control. Mo Dan looked at him in terror.

Jiang Huai stepped forward.

“You can beg for mercy.”

“Please... spare my life... I’m willing to let you brand me as a slave, to walk in the darkness for you... to do those things that can’t see the light of day for you...”

“But I won’t agree,” Jiang Huai added slowly.

Realizing he had been played like a fool, Mo Dan looked up, his eyes filled with resentment. The gu patterns on his body began to glow, seemingly ready to fight like a trapped beast. He was burning the accumulation of these years.

In just a few years, he had relied on the Refining Yin Demon Gu to cultivate from the Foundation Establishment period to now possessing Void Refining cultivation... he was not willing to fall here, his dreams were not yet finished, he didn’t want it to end... not at all!

Jiang Huai’s first sword fell on him but only cut off a piece of flesh, which immediately turned into red worms, but in the next instant, it was shattered into dust by Jiang Huai’s sword qi.

Jiang Huai then struck with the second sword.

Then the third sword.

Every time Mo Dan tried to counterattack, Jiang Huai’s sword would land on him, and in an instant, the tremendous force would make him retreat far, while Jiang Huai’s figure followed closely, only to cut off another small piece of flesh.

The moment his flesh turned into red worms, it was shattered into a pile of dust by Jiang Huai’s sword qi.

At this moment, he finally understood that there was no way to retreat, but even struggling... was not possible.

He suddenly remembered several years ago, when he was still a Qi Refining disciple in a small sect, he envied those inner disciples, but every time he could only watch their backs from afar.

Occasionally being a sparring partner for those inner disciples during sword practice was also like this... he could only passively be beaten, without any power to resist.

He clearly could have ended his own life with one sword, so why did each sword strike only cut off a piece of flesh?

When his spiritual energy shield was completely shattered by Jiang Huai, and the pain of the Ye Ning sword blade landing on his body finally began to transmit into his mind, he could no longer remember how long it had been since he had been in such pain, so much so that he now only wanted to curl up tightly.

But even so... Jiang Huai’s next sword did not hesitate for a moment.

He wished Jiang Huai would strike faster, to give him a quick death at this moment, but Jiang Huai just calmly struck sword after sword. He couldn’t help but roar.

“Why don’t you kill me with one sword?!”

“It will be too easy for you otherwise,” the fierceness in Jiang Huai’s eyes gradually disappeared, and the anger in his heart seemed to fade away as he saw Mo Dan’s helpless rage.

One sword.

One sword.

Jiang Huai was executing one sword strike after another in such a tranquil manner until his heart became utterly calm. Meanwhile, Mo Dan had nearly half of his body sliced away. Even now, he was still alive, unbelievably not yet dead through and through.

During this time, he had been constantly weeping and begging for mercy or cursing vehemently and even attempted to sever his own heart meridian with spiritual energy. However, Jiang Huai thwarted every attempt, not even giving him the chance to gather spiritual energy.

Now, he couldn’t utter a word, with only half of his body remaining atop his frail skeleton. Jiang Huai finally retracted the blade of his sword, and Mo Dan’s body was allowed to fall from midair to the ground. Jiang Huai approached him, looked down, his eyes gazing from above.

“Please... kill me,” Mo Dan’s voice trembled.

All the arrogance and ferocity previously on his face had vanished, leaving only the most abject plea.

Jiang Huai lifted his spirit sword, the spiritual energy at the tip of the blade converging. Grasping the hilt tightly, he plunged it once more into Mo Dan’s head. The spiritual energy at the tip of the sword exploded in that instant, turning his flesh into thousands of red worms. But this time, not a single worm tried to escape, knowing there was nowhere to flee.

Each worm lay prostrate on the ground, turned into starch by Jiang Huai’s sword qi, and his Blue Bone Gu, having lost its source of power, turned into a pile of blue bone powder. Within the powder, a single black worm writhed—the very essence of the Refining Yin Demon Gu.

At this moment, the spirit of the poison was extremely weak. It sent a final telepathic message to Jiang Huai.

“I enabled Mo Dan to advance from Foundation Establishment to Void Refining within three years. I can also rebuild your shattered qi sea. You are the most talented in the Way of the Sword that I have seen in three thousand years. If you and I join forces... we will surely be able to look down upon the world.”

“Join forces? Shouldn’t you be calling me master?” Jiang Huai replied.

“Of course! Of course! Master... I beg you to give me a chance...”

Jiang Huai chuckled helplessly, lifting his foot.

“I was just giving you a glimmer of hope to disgust you a bit, don’t take it seriously.”

With that, he crushed the Refining Yin Demon Gu under his foot without hesitation.
