Chapter 2567: Chapter 2568: The Custodian and the Return to the True Owner
"But how can these sons of bitches understand the spirit of us Sword Cultivators? Even though I was already thrown out of the battlefield by him at that time, I could still see that figure charging without hesitation into the group of evil beings, ultimately detonating his Sword Heart to die!"
After hearing Du Jingsheng’s account, Shen Muyu was shocked to the point of feeling numb all over, his eyes filled with admiration.
What is the spirit of a Sword Cultivator?
This is the spirit of a Sword Cultivator!
At the same time, Du Jingsheng’s eyes suddenly shone brightly.
"Give me your hand!"
Shen Muyu trembled all over, coming back to his senses from the shock, then confusedly stretched out his hand.
Just halfway through, Du Jingsheng suddenly grabbed it.
Then, an immense Sword Dao Cultivation flooded into Shen Muyu’s body like an overwhelming river.
Shen Muyu’s mouth slightly opened, wanting to shout, but he couldn’t make a sound.
Du Jingsheng whispered, "Actually, after the Family Head transferred all his cultivation to me back then, I had the chance to completely heal this wound, but I didn’t, because I’m not of the Shen Family, nor does their blood flow in me!"
"I am merely a guardian sitting in the Family Head’s position, just a temporary custodian, so now this Sword Dao Cultivation rightfully returns to its origin in the Shen Family!"
At this, Du Jingsheng’s gaze turned fierce, "Receive and comprehend it fully, if there’s anything you genuinely cannot understand, store it in your Sword Heart, do not be distracted in the slightest, lest we betray the careful efforts your lordship and many others made ten thousand years ago?"
This stern rebuke indeed worked, Shen Muyu, initially shaken, finally steeled himself and abandoned all distractions, starting to fully absorb this Sword Dao Cultivation.
In an instant, he seemed to be amidst an ocean of Sword Dao, where countless understandings of Sword Intent by great Sword Dao masters appeared clearly before him.
At the same time, numerous intricate sword moves and battle scenes emerged one after another.
This was precisely the understanding of Sword Dao and battle experience accumulated by those Shen Family masters back then.
This was even more priceless than the cultivation itself innumerable times.
Under such refinement, Shen Muyu felt his Sword Heart rapidly becoming clearer and purer, shining brighter.
In the end, his Sword Heart was as flawless as the most transparent diamond.
At this time, while immersed in the ocean of Sword Dao, Shen Muyu felt a shudder throughout his body, then detached from this incomparably mysterious state.
The first thing that caught his eye was Du Jingsheng looking dry and withered like a corpse, slowly falling backward.
"Family Head!" Shen Muyu shouted, just about to rush forward to catch him.
At that moment, a figure appeared behind Du Jingsheng and gently embraced him.
This figure was as beautiful as a flower, an exquisite beauty.
But Shen Muyu was stunned, as the aura of this person was clearly that of the Store Manager transformed from the Sword Tower!
At the same time, the Store Manager sighed gently, "To endure endless pain for a promise lasting thousands of years, is it truly worth it?"
Du Jingsheng chuckled lightly, then softly said, "It doesn’t matter whether it’s worth it or not; I should have died long ago, so living this long is already a bonus!"
"Actually, if you hadn’t forced me to eliminate the evil beings, it wouldn’t have come to this!" The woman muttered.
Du Jingsheng suddenly reached out his hand to gently stroke the woman’s cheek.
"Are you sad?"
The woman was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"I’ve been with you for so long, and now suddenly you’re leaving, of course I’m sad!"
"Silly girl...."
Du Jingsheng chuckled lightly, but before he could say more, his body began to crack piece by piece, then turned into dust, disappearing completely.
The woman knelt on the ground in a daze, her hands still in a hugging posture, but the person she was holding had vanished.
Moreover, this disappearance was one where even the soul was completely gone.
Shen Muyu collapsed to the ground, wailing, "Family Head!"
With his kneeling, all other Sword Cultivators of the Shen Family fell to the ground with tears flowing unabated.
The woman stood stunned for a long time, then gently sniffled and said in a calm voice, "Bastard, just left like that? How hateful it is!"
Though she seemed to be speaking lightly, her eyes glimmered with unshed tears.
And at this time, in the void where the Sword Intent baptism had just occurred, two figures suddenly appeared.
These two figures were severely incomplete upon their initial appearance, but soon strands of dark brilliance gathered on them.
In the blink of an eye, the two figures became clear.
It was precisely the Yin Hei and Fen Hong, the two evil beings just slain by Du Jingsheng’s sword.
Yin Hei’s face showed unabated fear and anger.
"Didn’t you say dealing with the Shen Family was a sure thing this time? Why did I almost die alongside you?"
Fen Hong didn’t bother with mystique anymore, especially since the black evil aura around him had been cut by Du Jingsheng’s sword.
So now he appeared in his true form, his face as pale as snow.
"Who knew that after enduring the catastrophe back then, the Shen Family would still have such masters; even this one sword would have been considered supreme ten thousand years ago!"
"So what now? Just sitting around and doing nothing? The Eastern Emperor himself commanded us to annihilate all sects of the Sky Beyond the Skies, yet we’ve failed to accomplish it. If he finds out, do you think we’ll have our lives?" Yin Hei snarled in exasperation.
"Hehe, rest assured, as long as the Eastern Emperor is still around, you and I won’t die, and as long as we don’t die, the Shen Family is just prey on a platter!"
"Especially since I can feel that the one who just made that supreme sword strike is no longer here; now, with some operation from you and me, their fate is unlikely to change!"
At this, Fen Hong again hid in the darkness, preparing for the coming revenge.
And at the same time, in the distant Bai Family battleground, a world-shaking battle was about to unfold.
Looking at the now empty battlefield, Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s face turned livid, then he growled through gritted teeth.
"Xue An, you truly are great, wanting to sacrifice yourself to save all these Bai Family!"
Xue An looked stoic, watching Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s momentum surge like crashing waves, not responding at all.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was burning with anger; he had planned to wipe out all Bai Family elites, including Xue An, at this battleground, hence why he painstakingly set up this trap.
But to his surprise, Xue An pulled off a heaven-defying move at the critical moment, setting everyone free.
How could this not make him furious?
"Xue An, surely your Divine Skills of cause and effect can’t be used now, without them, what do you plan to fight me with?"
