Chu Yang sneered, “Me? How about me?”
He raised his eyebrows, “On this path of heartless destruction, even if one reaches the peak, a lifetime of loneliness and drifting—what joy is there in that? Others may choose it, but I, Chu Yang, would rather die!”
At that moment, Chu Yang finally understood something in his heart: he had once asked the Sword Spirit if the generations of nine calamity sword masters were all heartless and uncaring.
The Sword Spirit did not answer back then.
Now it seemed that those people must have chosen to sever their emotions during the acquisition process of the fourth segment, ultimately burying all nine of their brothers as well…
Chu Yang coldly snorted in his heart, suddenly filled with genuine contempt!
Those who betrayed their brothers and gave up their love and family, what if they reached the pinnacle of the world?
Aren’t they still just pitiful creatures!
“A good point! What does the common populace have to do with you?” The phantom stared at him for a long while before suddenly smiling, “But if the common populace suffers because of your own decision to die, you wouldn’t feel guilty?”
Chu Yang laughed nonchalantly, “But if I personally buried my brothers, I would feel even guiltier! If the common populace perishes because of me, I would feel ashamed, but… after all, they have nothing to do with me! Feeling ashamed is one thing, but my brothers have been with me day and night!”
He smiled faintly, “Moreover… if I die here today, even if the common populace perishes, where would I go to feel guilty? If that’s the case, when I reach the Netherworld, do I still have to be responsible for the souls of the dead?”
Chu Yang spoke fiercely, “I, Chu Yang, only have two shoulders and one head! I cannot bear the world! But I can bear my brothers! For me, that is enough! And for them, that is enough!”
“Truly unable to sever?” The phantom asked word by word, as if delivering a final ultimatum.
“Get lost!” That was Chu Yang’s answer, “Are you annoying? If you want me to die or live, then make it quick! Wasting saliva like this, what’s the point? Since I came to this world, I never thought about returning alive!”
The phantom stared at him for a long moment before suddenly smiling and saying, “Since you cannot make such a ruthless decision yourself, naturally someone will help you make it!”
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
Chu Yang immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted loudly, “What are you going to do?”
The phantom grinned eerily, “You’ll find out soon enough.” After a moment, he twisted his hand.
Suddenly, a thin tornado appeared above Chu Yang’s head.
The tornado swept up from below, and with a whoosh, the nearby water suddenly vanished. This place turned into a dry area.
Then, the tornado dashed out, sweeping the sky and the earth!
From the eye of the tornado, Chu Yang could even see the clouds and light above the sky!
As the tornado formed in the sky, suddenly, with a whoosh.
Chu Yang’s tent was completely swept into the air, silently transforming into wisps of cloud.
Immediately afterward, the unprepared Mo Tianji and the others were also tossed into the air, their bodies completely lacking any autonomy.
Tan Tan let out a sharp howl, black light shooting from his eyes, as if this tornado had stirred up some unbearable memories. He suddenly roared, his body stiffened, and in mid-air, with a wave of his hand, he tore a gap in the tornado and grabbed Xie Danfeng, shattering the void and flying out, disappearing in the blink of an eye!
Vanished without a trace.
But Mo Tianji and the others did not have Tan Tan’s terrifying strength; they could only helplessly tumble with the tornado, then rapidly fall.
Suddenly, a large pit of ice and snow appeared on the ground, and the bodies of Mo Tianji and the others were suddenly buried in that pit!
Snow quickly covered them.
It was smooth and even!
Amidst the chaos, Mo Tianji and the others felt their spirit souls leaving their bodies, rising up, and then, like moths to a flame, they dove into the center of that vortex in the lake.
