Chapter 244: Unthinkable

A pair of eyes opened from within the muddy swamp!

In the next instant, a massive monster head emerged from this swamp.

This monster had a head with sharp teeth, its body as large as a city, covered with blue void fissures.

The monster took a bite at the old man.

The old man frowned.

He didn’t expect that he would summon such a monster! “Clang!”

Several swords formed by sword qi intersected to form a shield, protecting the old man.

This monster bit down fiercely, its eyes filled with even more ferocity! From start to finish, it only revealed its head, hiding its true form beneath the black mud marsh.

“Could you actually sign a contract with this kind of abyssal creature? Do you feel worthy for humanity?” The old man coldly looked at the man in front of him.

“What if I feel worthy? What if I don’t? So-called human righteousness, how many realms can it elevate me? In this world, nothing matters! Except for realms! Only when your realm is high does the entire world obey you!”

As his words fell, the old man’s palm pressed down heavily. The monstrous head attacked like a mad beast, biting down even harder, directly swallowing the old man whole!

The swamp gradually disappeared, and the Heavenly Profound Star Array also dissipated.

The sword qi emanating outward could no longer form the old man’s body; instead, it transformed into a sword formation guarding Xia He.

“Ho ho! Fighting a losing battle!”

Xia He chuckled softly and stepped forward.

When Xia He entered the sword formation, numerous swords automatically stabbed toward Xia He, blocking his steps.

However, the Yin-Yang fish surrounding Xia He blocked all these attacks, allowing him to proceed forward.

Inside the mountain cave, the old man slowly raised his head.

The moment the old man woke up, everyone looked at him.

They all felt something was about to go wrong.

Although they hoped the old master could kill the sect leader of the Heavenly Profound Gate,

they also knew this was impossible.

Even though the sect leaders of the Heavenly Profound Gate were getting worse with each generation, the current one was still at the Xiānrén Jìng stage.

The old master had been trapped here for so many years, his spiritual energy sealed, only able to emit sword qi, which was severely restricted.

If the old master could kill the other person like this, then three thousand years ago, he wouldn’t have been trapped here.

“It can’t be stopped.”

The old man shook his head.

“That guy is at the peak of the Xiānrén Jìng stage, has plenty of treasures, and most importantly, he signed a contract with an abyssal monster.”

“Unthinkable”

“Not even the Demon Sect would do something like this!”

“As the sect leader of a prestigious sect, how could he do such a thing?”

“Not surprising, he chose to sacrifice the cultivators of the Heavenly Profound Gate, so why wouldn’t he do this?”

“Truly, there’s nothing strange under the heavens!”

Everyone inside the mountain cave felt indignant about the sect leader of the Heavenly Profound Gate signing a contract with an abyssal monster.

They couldn’t imagine.

How could the sect leader of a prestigious sect do such a thing that defies both gods and humans!”Stop cursing, throughout history, how few people conspired with the abyssal devil sect? Quite a lot~ What’s important now is what we should do? They haven’t learned yet.”

Zhou smiled.

“This depends on the fate of these two children, and our own fate too.”

The elder slowly spoke, looking calmly at the young couple lying on the ground. In the dream consciousness.

Ming held the long sword in his hand, carefully comprehending the sword intent taught by the elder.

The elder taught him a lot of sword intent, and these intents were continuously dissipating.

For a Sword Cultivator, these sword intents were gold.

But although it was gold, it was like sand.

You couldn’t hold onto it, you could only let the sand slip through your fingers slowly.

Ming didn’t pray to fully grasp all these sword intents.

It was impossible, after all, this was the lifetime enlightenment of a Sword Cultivator who had reached the Ascension Realm.

Even if his external help was so extraordinary, it couldn’t enhance his talent to such a degree.

Moreover, Ming didn’t think he needed to fully understand another person’s Sword Dao and walk their old path.

Another person’s sword intent, another person’s Sword Dao, was ultimately someone else’s.

He could learn another person’s sword techniques, he could learn another person’s sword intent, but he absolutely couldn’t completely become another person.

So Ming thought he could comprehend as much as he could, trying to grasp the essence of the elder’s first heaven-splitting strike.

“Hmm?”

In the dream consciousness, the elder seemed to sense something, slowly opening his eyes and looking at Ming not far away.

“This kid…”

The elder stroked his beard, a smile curving at the corner of his mouth.

Ming’s sword qi became increasingly fierce, and the sword intent around him grew stronger.

The elder didn’t know if Ming had truly grasped the essence of his strike.

But the elder knew that Ming was about to deliver that strike.

At the same time, the elder in Xuenuo’s dream consciousness also sat up, looking at the girl before him.

Ming and Xuenuo had entered a state of selflessness.

Ming was unaware of his own existence, even unaware of the sword in his hand.

It was as if he had transformed into a wisp of sword qi, becoming the red sky.

Suddenly, an image appeared in Ming’s and Xuenuo’s minds.

In the picture, an energetic elder held an Immortal Sword, standing above the heavens, while in front of the elder stood nine cultivators.

These nine cultivators together exuded infinite pressure, causing the heavens to tremble endlessly.

“Xu Chang, today you won’t escape,” a white-haired woman who looked about thirty stared straight at Xu Chang, her eyes shining with golden light, like a deity from the heavens.

“Hahaha! Escape?” Xu Chang laughed uncontrollably, “I’ve never thought of escaping! I just happen to have a sword strike that hasn’t been tested, and you’re perfect!”

“Looking for death!”

The silver-haired woman roared angrily, causing the earth to shake and volcanoes to erupt.

The nine lifted their hands, and the blazing sun in the sky plummeted toward Xu Chang! Xu Chang bore the burdens of the world, raising his sword.

“You watch closely, this strike!”

The elder delivered a single sword strike.

“Boom!”

Inside the mountain cave, the earth shook incessantly, and rocks kept falling.

At the moment the elder named Xu Chang curved his lips, Ming and Xuenuo inside the cave rose as if sleepwalking, raising their swords in their hands.

Almost simultaneously, Ming and Xuenuo abruptly opened their eyes and swung their swords cleanly and decisively toward the elder!
