Chapter 107 - Arc 8: Wuling Immortal Sect | Chapter 107 Yun Lie's Golden Core
Translator: Lynn
Xu Ziqing was startled, but before he could react, Qiu He whisked him away. His mind raced, and he recalled that the coercion he felt just now was indeed the same as Yun Shixiong’s aura. However, Yun Shixiong had just regained his celestial soul, and he was about to form a core!
The two of them flew at great speed, and the scenery inside the cave rapidly receded behind them. The junior sisters were protected by Master Qiu He’s cover, but their faces turned pale.
In a blink of an eye, they reached the outside of the cave. Master Qiu He continued to soar, heading straight out of the small bamboo peak, and then he released a long brocade silk, spreading it out like a cloud in midair.
Immortal Qiu He and Xu Ziqing stood on the brocade, and it retreated several feet before coming to a stop. Neew updates at novel/bin(.)com
At this moment, Xiaozhu Peak was undergoing drastic changes!
An immensely powerful sense of swordsmanship emanated from the peak, enveloping the entire Xiaozhu Peak. The once verdant mountain now seemed frozen by ice, losing its original colors in an instant. A cold killing intent surged from the center, spreading in all directions like a tidal wave.
On top of the peak, an overwhelming killing intent shot up into the sky, resembling a gigantic sword piercing the heavens.
This killing intent was filled with boundless coldness and emotionlessness, making it terrifying and chilling. It condensed into a mysterious and profound will, rapidly growing stronger, forming a clear and pure, yet ruthlessly powerful sword intent.
The Ruthless Killing Sword Technique! The Ruthless Killing Sword Intent!
This sword intent unleashed its surging pressure, sweeping in all directions like a deluge. The murderous aura spread everywhere, leaving behind a trail of frost that carried a ruthless sword aura, capable of killing anyone it touched.
The surroundings of Xiaozhu Peak were completely frozen, and the icy influence was spreading to the nearby peaks. After a while, a faint hoarfrost began to condense on the peaks...
At that moment, several bright rays of light suddenly struck the tops of these small peaks. As the light rose, it enveloped the entire mountain peaks, forming a smooth, brocade-like barrier. As the Ruthless Killing Sword Intent passed by, the barrier froze and made a cracking sound, but fortunately, it didn’t break.
The Ruthless Killing Sword Intent continued to move farther away, and the radius of a hundred miles was affected, with layers of snow-white frost gradually appearing.
Under the influence of the sword intent, countless peaks of disciples huddled within the barrier, mobilizing their true energy to resist but not daring to step outside.
Xu Ziqing and the others looked up at the sky, feeling extremely shocked.
Could that soaring object, as sharp as a pillar of the sky, be Brother Yun’s Ruthless Killing Sword Intent? How domineering and formidable!
Daoist Qiu He waved his hand and released a mask that covered the entire brocade like a layer of clouds. He then released all eight female disciples from the cover.
The girls supported each other, barely standing firm, and witnessing the boundless sword intent, their faces turned pale once again. Even after more than ten years, they still vividly remembered how they were nearly overwhelmed by the sword intent when they climbed the peak for the first time. Seeing this immense power now, it seemed even stronger than their memories. It was truly terrifying!
Seeing that the small peaks were resolutely resisting the sword intent and killing intent, suddenly, a figure leaped out from one of the peaks. This person moved like lightning, and as he emerged, a radiant light enveloped his body. He quickly performed several hand gestures and struck the outer light of the peak repeatedly. As another layer of light shimmered on the mask, he swiftly escaped and said, “Old man Qiu, open the restriction with me!”
Master Qiu He turned his head to look, shook his head, and smiled, “I knew this eccentric guy would come!” After that, he opened a hole in the mask with a wave of his hand, allowing the person to enter and then sealing it off.
The newcomer was also an old man, appearing to be about the same age as Master Qiu He, but he was very thin and slightly shorter in stature. His facial features were distinct, but his expression was peculiar. As he landed, he said, “Old Qiu, has your killing star formed a core?”
He had the sword intent.
The sword intent is the manifestation of one’s mind, and it can take tangible or intangible forms. It has the power to attack the soul, and thus it can also confront demons.
With a sweep of the ruthless killing sword intent, the black shadow instantly let out a howl and vanished into nothingness!
However, the death of a heart demon doesn’t signify that the heart demon has been fully overcome.
Several streaks of black light shot out of the vortex, resembling countless ghostly shadows, rushing towards the top of Xiaozhu Peak one after another. When these black shadows came into contact with the sword intent, they would disperse instantly, wailing incessantly.
Finally, the black light ceased to emerge from the vortex and suddenly quieted down.
Yet, in this calmness, there was a sense of anticipation, as if something was about to happen.
This was the last obstacle, and also the most crucial one.
The sword intent could kill the heart demon, but it couldn’t eradicate the endless temptations unleashed by the heart demon.
Overcoming this temptation required relying on one’s own willpower and the clarity of one’s mind.
Whether Yun Lie had truly transformed the ruthless killing intent into a hint of compassion was yet to be seen.
Time passed, and there was silence.
Suddenly, the sword intent at the top of Xiaozhu Peak dissipated, and within the cold killing intent and sword energy, a very faint and subtle fluctuation emerged. It seemed almost imperceptible, but it added a more profound aura to the sword energy and killing intent.
With this emergence, the frost that covered the sky transformed into wisps of white mist, dissipating entirely.
In the midst of the killing intent and sword energy, there was no longer just an endless chill.
Instead, a touch of warmth emanated from the coldness, like a guiding lamp, keeping one’s mind clear and wise.
The murderous intent that had enveloped the entire peak melted away like ice and snow, instantly vanishing. Simultaneously, the areas previously affected by the murderous intent regained their vitality, as if spring had returned to the earth.
The black hole amidst the purple clouds gradually shrank until it disappeared entirely.
The clouds and mist cleared in the sky, and the environment transformed into a sunny and clear day.
The heart demon had been vanquished, and Yun Lie’s Golden Core had formed!
Xu Ziqing exhaled slowly, only now realizing that he had forgotten to breathe during the intense moment.
