Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 181

Chapter 181: Reconstruct the Sword Heart, I’ll Give You Time! Go Ahead and Catch Up

When Gu Xi heard this, she felt that something was wrong.

“I once swore an oath to my Sword Heart. If I lost my sword, I wouldn’t have to live in this world.”

Xie Mingze’s expression was full of mockery for himself. He looked at his hands in a daze. “If this hand can no longer hold the sword, then what’s the point of keeping it?”

“Previously, I boasted that I was extraordinary and mocked you, but I didn’t expect that the person who overestimated himself was me…”

“My Dao Heart is now lost, my swordsmanship has become empty. Wrong, wrong, all wrong!”

Xie Mingze threw his head back and roared angrily. He actually picked up the broken iron sword and pointed the tip of the sword at his heart.

Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone was shocked. No one had expected it to develop to such a state. They did not even have time to react.

Just as Xie Mingze was about to stab down, a hand blocked the tip of the sword.

It was Xie Mingze’s elder brother, the Sect Master of Tiangang Sword Sect, Xie Mingyu.

“You came just in time. Why don’t you send me on my way?” Xie Mingze’s expression was neither sad nor happy. He looked like he was about to be freed.

…

Xie Mingyu’s expression was extremely complicated. He was well aware of his younger brother’s character. From the very beginning, he had already realized that something was wrong. He was secretly on guard, which was why he was able to stop him in time.

He was disappointed that he did not meet his expectations and said, “You’re going to die just like that? Have you forgotten what you said when you first entered the sect?”

“You said that you wanted to become the number one person in the way of the sword. You said that you wanted to become a Sword Immortal. Now, you have only failed once, and you want to use your life as the price? All the years of cultivation that you have put in day and night have all gone down the drain?”

“What about the painstaking effort that you have put in and the suffering that you have gone through?”

The voice was like a thorn stabbing into Xie Mingze’s heart. He looked confused and at a loss. His emotions only fluctuated for a moment before his expression became emotionless again.

“Those are all jokes. The Great Dao is simple. I’ve been practicing the sword for so long, and I can’t even understand this simple principle. What right do I have to continue practicing?”

Now that Xie Mingze had lost both the Sword Heart and the Dao Heart, and all his beliefs had been overturned, he had long been determined to die. Even if his brother could stop it for a while, he could not stop it for a lifetime.

As the saying goes, the one who broke the bell had to be the one who broke it. Xie Mingyu looked at Gu Xi.

At this moment, Gu Xi was also shocked by Xie Mingze’s action. He did not expect that Xie Mingze would be so determined to die. He was really a sword cultivator who regarded the sword as his life. Compared to the other righteous cultivators, he was much better.

“Fellow Daoist Gu, I represent the entire Tiangang Sword Sect to apologize to you. Previously, it was our fault. I’m willing to give you the sect’s supreme treasure. Furthermore, I won’t interfere in the matters of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm anymore. I won’t threaten fellow Daoist’s safety either. I only hope that fellow Daoist can be merciful!”

After saying that, Xie Mingyu also bowed deeply.

This was the Tiangang Sword Sect! The Sect Master of the number one sect in the path of the sword actually revealed such a humble attitude.

Who did not know that Xie Mingyu was full of pride? Even when facing the other sects, he had never shown such an expression.

Everyone was dumbfounded by this scene.

Gu Xi was also stunned. He could not understand why Xie Mingze would commit suicide after losing a match. If it were him, it would be too dangerous, right? After all, he was always either fighting or preparing to fight every day.

There was no such thing as winning forever.

Since Xie Mingze wanted to die, then so be it. This way, he would not have to make another move. After all, Xie Mingze had wanted to kill him previously.

Originally, Gu Xi wanted to sit on the sidelines and watch. But now that Xie Mingze had said this, if he chose to sit on the sidelines, then the entire Tiangang Sword Sect would be enraged.

Xie Mingze was too important to them. No matter how much they had to pay, he would have to pay with his life. At that time, the situation would be even more disadvantageous for them.

However, if he let Xie Mingze go, not only would he get the sect’s most precious treasure, but he would also get Xie Mingyu’s favor. No matter how he looked at it, the deal was extremely worthwhile.

After weighing the pros and Cons, Gu Xi said, “Although the Great Dao is simple, have you ever heard the saying, ‘If you don’t break, you won’t be able to rebuild’? So what if your Sword Heart is broken? So what if your sword principle is wrong?”

“Failure is not scary. What’s scary is the lack of courage to start over.”

“There are so many losers in this world. To give up their lives after one failure, in my opinion, these people are extremely laughable!”

These words were like a great bell that shook the deaf and enlightened. Not only Xie Mingze, but the others were also deep in thought.

Xie Mingze muttered to himself, “If you don’t break, you won’t be able to rebuild…”

The light that had been extinguished in his eyes was now once again burning with Hope. It was like a spark flickering in the wind.

“The path of the sword is always cold at the top. I prefer the feeling of meeting a worthy opponent.”

Gu Xi stood with his hands behind his back. His expression was calm, and he actually looked like he was invincible in the world.

If this was before, people would definitely laugh at him and mock him for putting on an act. But now that he had defeated Xie Mingze in one move, no one would doubt his strength.

Xie Mingze said hesitantly, “You mean…”

“You’re also considered a strong character. I’ll give you time to catch up with me.”

Gu Xi was confident that even if he did it a few more times, it would not change the outcome.

However, Xie Mingze’s pupils constricted. It was as if his soul had left his body. Then, he slowly regained his focus, as if he had found a new target.

“Are you serious?”

“I never lie.”

The flames in Xie Mingze’s eyes burned fiercely. A spark of fire quickly ignited the prairie and spread into a brilliant light. He found the motivation to move forward again.

“The next time we meet, I will defeat you with a brand-new sword principle.”

With a calm expression, he said slowly, “My Sword Heart has been lost, and my sword principle has been defeated. From now on, I will rebuild my Sword Heart! I will cultivate the sword principle again, but before that, you must not die!”

His powerful words reverberated through the clouds, but the others were dumbstruck. They could not believe what they had heard.
