Ultimate God of Swords - Chapter 497
Chapter 497 Let Go of One’s Thoughts
“Burial sword?”
When the Huairou Cauldron heard the Azure Ghost King’s shocked voice, it turned its head to look at the figure in shock. “Could it be that the existence that appeared was our Huairou Clan’s ancestor, the Huairou Burial Sword?”
“What?”
The people from Huairou Clan were astonished.
The Azure Ghost King stared fixedly at the figure, his eyes flickering with passion, anticipation, anger, and unwillingness.
In the end, the light around him dimmed, and a pale-skinned, golden-eyed, handsome, and delicate man fell into everyone’s line of sight. None of the Huairou Clan members had seen the Huairou Burial Sword before, so they didn’t know if this person was or wasn’t the Huairou Burial Sword, but the Azure Ghost King shouted, “It’s indeed you, Huairou Burial Sword!!!! So you’re not dead!”
“Is it really the ancestor?”
The Huairou Cauldron took a few steps forward, sized up this person from head to toe, and exclaimed in admiration.
“Of course I am your ancestor, my descendants.”
Huairou Zangjian smiled and looked at Huairou Zangjian.
“…”
“However, I have to regret to tell you that I am already dead. What you are seeing now is only a wisp of my remnant soul that I purposely injected into the Heart of Saints when I created it!”
Huairou Zangjian smiled.
“Remnant soul?”
The Azure Ghost King gritted his teeth and stared at Huairou Burial Sword. He said coldly, “How did you die?”
“Naturally, his lifespan is at its end.”
“Impossible!!” The Green Ghost King roared, “Your cultivation is even higher than mine. How can your lifespan be lower than mine? That’s impossible!! You’re lying to me again!!”
“Why would I lie to you?” Huairou Zangjian said helplessly, “Although my cultivation is higher than yours, it is all obtained by absorbing profound coins. Although it can increase my strength, it cannot increase my lifespan. I am not like you. You have walked over step by step. The cultivation that you have obtained through hard work is naturally different.”
The Azure Ghost King clenched his fists tightly, and his teeth almost shattered.
“Alright, Jianya, stop messing around. Let go of my descendants, for my sake.” Huairou Zangjian said.
“Why?” The Azure Ghost King said angrily.
“You can’t be so heartless, right? We’ve known each other for so many years, and you have to be so heartless?”
“Hmph, don’t get too close to me, Huairou Burial Sword. Unless you can defeat me today, I will definitely destroy your Huairou Clan!!”
“You … alas, alright, alright. Since that’s the case, I’ll have to fight you again … even though I don’t have much time left.”
Huairou Zangjian revealed an extremely helpless expression. He shrugged his shoulders and then leapt forward. He pulled out a golden sword from somewhere. He raised his head and looked at the Green Ghost King gently. Suddenly, his figure flashed. When he reappeared, he had already landed in front of the Green Ghost King.
Whoosh!
The golden longsword attacked, and the blade of the sword emitted a myriad of brilliant lights, completely swallowing the Green Ghost King into it.
“Slash in all five directions!”
The Azure Ghost King shouted. A large amount of saber Qi suddenly burst out from his surroundings. When he looked at him again, he saw a pitch-black broadsword appear in his palm.
Saber Qi burst forth, tearing apart thousands of brilliant lights, and he saw sabers and swords interweaving in the air.
“Burial Sword!! Back then, you set up a trap and lost to me. I am not convinced. Today, you and I will split up!!”
The Azure Ghost King shouted as hard as he could. The arm of the dancing saber became even more swift and violent, and the profound energy from his entire body was infused into it like a river.
“Jianya, are you mistaken? I’m just a businessman. How can I be your opponent?”
Huairou Zangjian said with a smile. There was not the slightest bit of concentration and seriousness on his face when fighting with others, as if in his eyes, this was just a sparring with an old friend.
However, although the Huairou Burial Sword was relaxed, it was already at a disadvantage.
Not to mention that the Huairou Burial Sword that was currently fighting against the Azure Ghost King was only formed from a wisp of remnant soul and soul, these young Ghost Kings were cultivating continuously for revenge. Their strength had already far surpassed that of the past, and the Huairou Burial Sword was even more unrivaled.
The Huairou Clansmen looked worriedly at the fierce battle between the two sides in the sky, their faces filled with worry. But very quickly, the outcome was decided.
With a’clang ‘sound, a crisp sound rang out. The golden sword in Huairou Burial Sword’s hand was thrown out, circling several times in the air before dissipating into particles.
A cold light flashed across the Green Ghost King’s eyes. He immediately raised his broadsword and slashed towards the neck of Huairou Burial Sword.
However…
Huairou Zangjian looked at him quietly and smiled gently at him without the slightest bit of fear or resistance.
The Azure Ghost King was stunned and hastily withdrew his hand. The black blade was only a few centimeters away from his neck…
“What are you doing?” The Green Ghost King gritted his teeth and said angrily.
“Don’t do anything.” Huairou Zangjian smiled and said, “Because I know that you won’t kill me.”
“You …”
The Azure Ghost King opened his mouth and was stunned.
However, Huairou Zangjian stretched out his hand and grabbed his saber-wielding hand. “Jian Ya, do you still remember the time when you were hunted down by your enemies, seriously injured, and rescued by me? Those days, we spent all day discussing martial cultivation methods and business methods. We wanted to say that we wanted to do what we wanted to do. How wonderful that time was!”
Azure Ghost King’s livid face changed slightly. “What are you saying?”
“Nothing. I’m just sighing.” Huairou Zangjian smiled and said, “Remember when you recovered, I want you to leave, And you won’t leave, Be sure to repay my kindness, “Actually, to tell you the truth, I didn’t want you to leave. At that time, I was facing a great enemy. It was when I was hiring people that your cultivation was very important to me. With your help, I would be able to succeed. Besides, I have long treated you as my friend during this period of time. With you by my side, everything would no longer be terrifying to me.”
The Azure Ghost King was stunned as he stared blankly at Huairou’s Burial Sword.
He raised his head and stared at the Azure Ghost King.
“Jian Ya, I know why you want to destroy the Huairou Clan. You didn’t do it for your adopted son. Because you know that I have never lied to you, and I will not harm your adopted son for no reason. The reason you did this is just to get revenge on me for leaving without saying goodbye.”
“Goodbye without saying goodbye” The Azure Ghost King seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed drastically. “Could it be that you had already …”
“Do you still remember the mighty figure we annihilated together?” Huairou Zangjian smiled and said, “Before he died, he cast the most vicious curse in the world. I don’t have much time left. In order not to make you feel too sad, I chose that method.”
“You intentionally provoked me to leave the Huairou Clan?”
“Almost. I just didn’t expect your reaction to be so big.”
“You … are such an idiot.” The Azure Ghost King secretly gritted his teeth, but there was no hatred in his eyes, only disappointment and helplessness.
With his cultivation, how could he really care about everything in the Huairou Clan? The Azure Ghost King had been persistent for so many years, only wanting to vent his dissatisfaction and anger towards the Huairou Burial Sword. However, today, all of this gradually dissipated like smoke in front of his eyes, and the grievances in his heart were slowly put down.
“Alright, Jian Ya … There’s not much time left, I think … I’m leaving again …” Huairou Zangjian smiled and his body suddenly thinned out.
When the Azure Ghost King saw this, his expression suddenly tensed up. He hurriedly grabbed Huairou Zangjian’s hand and injected energy into it. In an instant, Huairou Zangjian’s thin and dim body lit up again.
Seeing this scene, the Huairou clansmen below were all stunned.
“What exactly is going on? What is the Ancestor Burying the Sword doing? What is the Azure Ghost King doing?”
Huairou Palace opened its mouth, puzzled.
“The remnant soul of the Huairou Burial Sword won’t last for long. It will soon dissipate. The Green Ghost King is using his cultivation to continue his life. He wants to retain him.”
At this moment, a voice came out. Su Yun looked over and found that the person who spoke was Daoist Priest Bird Heron.
“Taoist priest, why are you here?” Su Yun said in surprise.
“I’ve been preparing for the curse to be lifted in the manor. After that, I have to report that the curse has been lifted. Don’t worry.”
Daoist Priest Bird Heron chuckled.
‘”From the looks of it, the Azure Ghost King didn’t do all this because of his hatred for the Huairou Clan. On the contrary, he just couldn’t let go of the restraint of the Ancestor Huairou Burial Sword” Huairou Muyu murmured softly, “Although I don’t know what kind of deep friendship the Ancestor had with him, there’s no doubt that the feelings between the two of them can’t be born overnight.”
Seeing this scene, Su Yun was no longer worried. Perhaps, the appearance of the Huairou Burial Sword would be better than using the ‘Sacred Heart’ to kill him.
The body of the Huairou Burial Sword in the air was still dimming, but the Azure Ghost King still unrelenting injected profound energy into its body.
Although the Azure Ghost King’s cultivation was high and his strength was strong, he was unable to withstand this kind of torment. Very quickly, the Azure Ghost King’s face turned pale and his eyes gradually dimmed.
“Enough!!”
Huairou Zangjian immediately grabbed his hand and said weakly.
The Azure Ghost King did not say a word. He forcefully opened his hand and continued to inject it into his body.
“I am a remnant soul and cannot be resurrected. Why are you so persistent? I am still a dead person and no longer part of this world.” Huairou Zangjian smiled pale.
The Azure Ghost King still didn’t say anything. At this moment, he couldn’t see any hatred in his eyes, nor could he see any resentment. Some of them were only filled with sorrow.
“Treat my clansmen kindly. Jian Ya, count as the last thing I ask you to do … Is that okay?”
Huairou Zangjian’s gentle eyes quietly looked at the Green Ghost King.
The Azure Ghost King’s eyes flickered. After a long time, he nodded with difficulty.
“Don’t be too sad. We will definitely meet again in the future, but if possible, I don’t want to do business anymore. Being a businessman is very tiring.”
Huairou Zangjian laughed heartily. The laughter was very straightforward, but slowly, the sound gradually weakened. It was as if the pollen that was blown away by the wind had gradually fused into the breeze. It slowly dispersed and disappeared…
The Azure Ghost King stood in the sky in a daze, his eyes quietly looking at his hands, looking at the gradually disappearing Huairou Burial Sword. He hadn’t moved for a long time, just like a stone man.
