“Tonight… will be a fierce battle!” the Sword Spirit said slowly.
Chu Yang forced a bitter smile.
Fierce battle? Where is the fierce battle? The people on our side are already at a disadvantage against the masters of the Ao Clan: if we were to face those mysterious figures in black masks… we would probably be swept away in the blink of an eye…
“Sword Spirit, if you control my body, what are our chances of winning?” Chu Yang took a deep breath and asked.
“Not feasible!” the Sword Spirit sighed, “If I controlled your body, I would have a hundred percent confidence in defeating them; but now, that is not possible.
“Why?” Chu Yang felt a hint of joy in his heart.
“The Fourth Segment Sword has appeared!”
“The Fourth Segment Nine Calamity Sword, located in the center, governs heaven's secret! Once it appears, the nine calamity sword master will step onto the right path! Moreover, the entire Nine Heavens will undergo a monumental change! This is the greatest opportunity for the nine calamity sword master during the process of obtaining the nine calamity sword!”
The Sword Spirit said deeply, “Furthermore, the Fourth Segment Nine Calamity Sword is the only pivotal life-and-death threshold in the life of the nine calamity sword master! Therefore, it requires your spirit to be complete and overflowing; even if there is a slight loss, it is absolutely impossible! If I were to control your body now, it would inevitably lead to a severe injury to your spirit: by that time, it would be impossible to recover! At that point, you will definitely not be able to pass this threshold! The complete destruction of the spirit is the most likely outcome.”
Chu Yang pondered for a moment and then said, “If those people truly make a move, what are the chances of our survival? What is the likelihood of Gu Duxing and Dong Wushang dying?”
The Sword Spirit smiled bitterly, “If they want to kill, these people have no chance of surviving. If they want to capture, these people will definitely not escape!”
Chu Yang nodded in understanding, chuckling, “Then what choice do I have? If I don’t let you make a move, am I just going to watch my brothers die?”
“But the choice is in my hands, and I absolutely will not make a move when the Fourth Segment Sword appears!” The Sword Spirit sighed, “I am only responsible for the nine calamity sword and its mission, not for you or your brothers!”
Chu Yang confidently replied, “You will make a move! I’m certain!”
The Sword Spirit sighed, “Don’t force me.” He knew very well how Chu Yang would pressure him to act.
“You are the one forcing me!” Chu Yang retorted coldly.
“Don’t forget, Mo Qingwu is still waiting for you.” The Sword Spirit had no choice but to bring out the ultimate weapon that always worked on Chu Yang. He firmly believed that once the name Mo Qingwu was mentioned, Chu Yang would definitely change his mind.
Because in his past life, Chu Yang's greatest obsession was Mo Qingwu. In this life, it could be said that he was reborn entirely for Mo Qingwu!
“Qingwu now has her master, and I am very relieved. Her fate has already changed!” Chu Yang said lightly, “But life is not just about love!”
“If because of this, Qingwu will be sad… I also have no way.” Chu Yang softly said, “Just like in my past life, I loved her to the extreme, yet I still drove her away, and she still died…”
“The unearthing of your identity should be happening during this time.” The Sword Spirit became anxious, “Your master’s wish is still waiting for you to help him!”
“When everything cannot be balanced, I can only take care of the present!” Chu Yang said indifferently.
“Foolish!” The Sword Spirit angrily scolded.
Chu Yang laughed heartily within, “Sword Spirit, sometimes, as a man, being foolish is the only way to feel justified in living!”
“Being foolish is an insult, but at times in life, foolishness can be the most precious thing.”
Chu Yang said, “You are not human; you wouldn’t understand. So please, be quiet; I just need you to help me!”
