Chapter 1314: Years Pass

He had thought finding the blood essence avatar would take much time,yet unexpectedly, the blood essence avatar had shown itself and attacked.Perhaps it relied on its combat skill, looking down upon Jiang Wang of the Inner Mansion realm.

Perhaps, this was also the reason Yu Beidou invited him...

Meeting on a narrow road, a life-and-death battle.

Jiang Wang's initial several sword strikes were fruitless. He immediately activated the Five Mansions Together,displaying his peak state, directly overwhelming with the pinnacle sword momentum of the Inner Mansion realm.

But he saw the sturdy man in the bright armor wield a great Guan Dao as deftly as an embroidery needle.In mid-air, it flickered left and right, like dragons dancing and phoenixes soaring, crafting a magnificent composition!The刀light shone like the sun's rays, penetrating every void, landing everywhere.It actually cut into the sword momentum with significantly lesser strength.It sliced from various angles, continuously weakening this sword.

But it was like a mountain peak falling head-on. With a small knife, no matter how much it is carved away, the mountain is still a mountain.Skill has its limits. The end of the Inner Mansion realm is the limit of this Guan Dao.No matter how nimble it is, no matter how exquisite the blade techniques it can perform.Even if it were a peerless saber art passed down by a True Monarch, when used by an Inner Mansion cultivator, it is merely at the Inner Mansion level!

And so, the sword struck down.The bright armor shattered directly, and the chest and abdomen of the great man wielding the Guan Dao were pierced through—It was a massive, hollow void, almost large enough for an adult to thrust their head into.

Yet this man's face was expressionless, as if he felt no pain at all, and would absolutely not be affected.The Guan Dao in his hand was still elusive, silently pressing towards Jiang Wang's neck.

Since Jiang Wang knew this great man was a transformation of the Blood Demon's blood essence,of course, he wouldn't think that a single sword thrust through the abdomen had already resolved the opponent.

A wisp of frosty white wind, in the hollow of the great man's chest and abdomen, gently blew.It seemed to want to soothe his pain, to comfort the organs churned by the sword qi...But wherever the frosty wind reached, everything was annihilated.This sort of comfort was clearly not welcomed by the other party.

The great man's Guan Dao desired to strike, but could no longer fall, for his arm had already been blown to pieces!His entire body, piece by piece, crumbled, shattering into specks of blood, flowing in the air.Subsequently, the Guan Dao, the fragments of fluttering armor, all transformed into blood, scattering across the long sky.

Jiang Wang rolled up the five-colored, vibrant kasaya, collecting all the blood that had scattered across the sky into it.The kasaya naturally tightened, forming a bundle.This five-colored, vibrant "bundle" still bulged from time to time,clearly indicating that the mass of blood essence wrapped within was not at peace.But the light on the Demon Subduing Kasaya flowed, firmly suppressing it.

Jiang Wang, holding this kasaya bundle in one hand, flew back.The five brilliant light sources on his body gradually dimmed.Stepping on green clouds as he traveled, he was still潇灑, but there was a sense of not having had enough.It must be said that this man, transformed from blood essence, was indeed a very rare opponent.In terms of combat skill, he could be said to have firmly held the upper hand over him.But under the absolute power suppression of the Five Mansions Together, he had persevered for too short a time,preventing him from showcasing everything.

After achieving the Heavenly Mansion, he had also been diligently cultivating,and had never had a suitable opponent to test his sword against.There was a sense of loneliness, of a long sword bearing the world's power in vain.Although today's battle was splendid, it ended too quickly, only allowing for a shallow taste.But if Jiang Wang were to deliberately prolong the time to fully enjoy the battle, giving this opponenttransformed from blood essence an opportunity, he would absolutely not consent.Battles on a narrow road are simple: the victor lives, the defeated dies.Things like sharpening combat techniques, comprehending stances, are all matters beneath victory and defeat.Jiang Wang has always been very clear-headed.

The coin-knife turned around and still led the way. Jiang Wang followed closely, flying towards the Valley of Scattered Stones.The matter was complete, it was time to claim the reward.

Within the Valley of Scattered Stones, in the cave on the cliff face.The Yu Beidou of immortal bearing and Daoist bones sat cross-legged in mid-air.He who firmly held the Blood Demon in place, was in turn restrained by the Blood Demon.This blood demon body, which now outwardly appeared as Liu Huai, the Privy Councilor of Yang Country,was cultivated through the Cultivation Technique of Exterminating Feelings and Desires.During this time, it had successively experienced three masters:Yang Jiande, the last emperor of Yang Country, Liu Huai, the Privy Councilor of Yang Country,and Jing Ye, the great general of Light Induction City in Rong Country.

Among these three people, Yang Jiande firmly controlled this demon technique, using its powerbut every word and deed stemmed from his true heart. At most, it was becausehe cultivated this demon technique that his emotions were gradually extinguished.Liu Huai, on the other hand, was completely devoured and driven by this demon technique, without any consciousness of his own.And Jing Ye, who was the great general of Light Induction City, was killed by Liu Huai while investigatingthe massive casualties in the city, and was consumed by the Cultivation Technique of Exterminating Feelings and Desires, similarly losing himself.Rather than saying Liu Huai and Jing Ye were the latter two masters of the Cultivation Technique of Exterminating Feelings and Desires,it would be better to say they were two puppets of the Cultivation Technique of Exterminating Feelings and Desires.Yang Jiande was killed by the Life-Cutting Blade, with no possibility of recovery.Liu Huai, when facing Yu Beidou in Light Induction City, used every means, scurrying about in the Eastern Territory,and finally fled all the way to Soul Severing Gorge, but was still subdued.He could only split off a small portion of his blood essence, transform into Jing Ye, and look for an opportunity to rescue himself.

But this had long been anticipated by Yu Beidou, and in fact, he was waiting for this very step.Before entering Soul Severing Gorge, Yu Beidou had already urgently contacted Jiang Wang, who was still in Zhao Country.Not long after the Blood Demon split off its blood essence, Jiang Wang had already entered Soul Severing Gorge.Yu Beidou suppressed Liu Huai while having Jiang Wang hunt down that mass of blood essence,and using this blood essence as a foundation, leveraging the natural array of the Valley of Scattered Stones,to grind down the Blood Demon.He claimed to have "calculated everything, divine and demonic," and it was not entirely boastful.

At this moment, Liu Huai, with a pale face and no beard, was confined to the ground,while the highly distinguished Yu Beidou sat high in the air.A sigh, however, suddenly fell."Alas..."Liu Huai was silent, Yu Beidou was silent, where did this sigh come from?

The cave was cold and eerie.A middle-aged man wearing scholarly robes provided the answer.This person had a long, three-strand beard and a thin face, appearing like a school teacher.But those who truly knew who he was, none could remain calm.One of the Nine Great Human Devils: The Destiny Calculator Devil!One destiny, one calculation.

He walked into this cave, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and looked up at Yu Beidou sitting cross-legged in mid-air."Uncle-master, it has been a long time since we last greeted each other!" he said."How have you been? Do you sleep well every night?"Yu Beidou still pointed at the Blood Demon on the ground with his sword finger, his figure unmoving.He only said, "Didn't we just meet in Light Induction City last time? We should have reminisced properly then,it's all because you ran too fast!"The diviner reached out and patted his forehead: "Ah yes, look at my memory."He sighed again, somewhat sadly, and said: "Even I am starting to grow old. Time spares no one, Uncle-master.""At this age, what is there to be unable to see through?" Yu Beidou said in an old voice."Look, Uncle-master sees things very clearly. Seeing you appear before me, I do not even move."The diviner restrained his sadness and looked at him with a smile:"Isn't it because Uncle-master is unable to move at the moment?"Yu Beidou was silent for a moment, then said: "I mainly just don't want to move right now. Good nephew,do not force Uncle-master to act righteously and eliminate kin.""Act...righteously...and...eliminate...kin." The diviner murmured the phrase, then looked up again.His eyes were already filled with undisguised chilling killing intent, but his voice was slow and gentle:"I just want to cut open Uncle-master's heart and see what righteousness looks like, what color it is..."
