Mo Tianji couldn't help but be stunned!
If Chu Yang was the person he held the highest hopes for, then Mo Qingwu was the one he cared about the most!
Now, with the lives of both individuals heavily weighing on his shoulders, requiring him to make a decision, even Mo Tianji, the master strategist, couldn't help but be momentarily dazed.
Then he quickly regained his composure.
"I don't..."
Before Mo Tianji could finish his sentence, the phantom interrupted him: "There's no need for you to be hypocritical! Your moment of hesitation has already revealed everything!"
With a wave of his hand, Mo Tianji and Gu Duxing were brought together.
Next were Ji Mo and Rocky Luo.
These two guys immediately erupted into a flurry of curses, being more hot-tempered, and were almost effortlessly subdued by the phantom.
Following that was Ao Xieyun...
............
After a long while...
With a wave of his hand, the phantom locked up Mo Tianji and the others, facing Chu Yang alone.
"How's it going?" The phantom looked at Chu Yang with a hint of pride: "Even if you are unwilling, your brothers are already prepared!"
"So whether you are willing or not, you must give up!"
Chu Yang pondered for a moment before finally raising his head.
"I’m quite curious!" he said slowly, "Severing emotions could be a form of cultivation; however... my current status as the Nine Calamity Sword Master has not made me anxious. Why are you in such a rush?"
The phantom was taken aback.
"Are you so eager to destroy our feelings? To ruin this friendship?" Chu Yang's gaze sharpened.
The phantom was stunned.
"Can you not bear to see something beautiful?" Chu Yang pressed on: "Why?"
The phantom involuntarily took a step back.
As Chu Yang thought about this, it was as if he had broken through a mental barrier, his thoughts becoming increasingly agile: "This was originally the most beautiful emotion in the world, yet you have gone to great lengths to destroy it with impatience!"
"Were you once harmed? Have you lost something?" Chu Yang's cold gaze fixed on the phantom: "Is that why your heart is unbalanced?"
The phantom's body shook violently, its voice cold as ice: "You are talking nonsense!"
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know!" Chu Yang mocked him: "Seeing my brothers, are you envious? Jealous? Angry? Don’t you particularly want this bond to not exist?"
The phantom steadied himself, unexpectedly letting out a sinister laugh: "What have you thought of?"
"I haven't thought of anything... I just feel that you are a bit jealous of me!" Chu Yang looked at him proudly: "So I'm very proud! You are indeed beneath me! You are far inferior!"
The phantom's indistinct face shot a fierce glare at Chu Yang: "Jealous of you? What are you?!"
"I have brothers! You don't! Or perhaps you did once, but you abandoned them! That’s why you're jealous! I possess the ability to dominate the Nine Calamity Sword, you do not! So you come to destroy! If I, Chu Yang, am a divine being in the sky, then you are a pitiful insect on the ground!"
Chu Yang showed no mercy, his words sharp and biting: "If I, Chu Yang, am the bright moon in the sky, then you are but a pile of dung on the ground!"
"You are even inferior to a pile of dung! Because I already know who you are!"
Chu Yang spat out vehemently through clenched teeth: "You are nothing but a complete piece of trash!"
The phantom screeched in fury: "You are talking nonsense! Do you know who I am? Can you know who I am?"
Chu Yang replied coldly: "I initially thought you were a remnant thought left by a predecessor who created the Nine Calamity Sword! But then I realized you are not!"
"Why am I not? Why can't I be him?" the phantom cried out sharply.
"Because that predecessor may have destroyed the Nine Heavens once, but his intention was to prevent conflict throughout the Nine Heavens! Therefore, while his methods were cruel, his starting point was good! He was trying to save the Nine Heavens!"
"And you, clearly want to destroy the Nine Heavens!" Chu Yang gritted his teeth: "How dare you use the lives of all beings in the world to threaten me!"
