Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning
Chapter 516 - 239: Thanking the World_3Chapter 516: Chapter 239: Thanking the World_3
“He… he died from the Five Ghosts Heavenly Demon Qi!”
“Did the Night Lord make his move!?”
The leaders of the Seven Sects had a complex look upon hearing this.
Wan Cangxin, however, seemed like he was crying and laughing:
“No… he, he… died at my hands!!
“If it wasn’t for my trust in the Night Lord…
“If it wasn’t for sending the complete Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword into Eternal Night Valley…
“Even the Night Lord, with no chance of defeating him, would have been impossible!
“It was me, it was my own hands that sent my mentor to his grave.”
Wan Cangxin’s voice trembled as he spoke; his hand gripping the sword hilt was bulging with veins and slightly shaking.
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
Their complex expressions stemmed from this.
Indeed, it was Wan Cangxin who had personally ended Elder Tianquan’s life.
Thirty years ago, the name of Elder Tianquan as the Heavenly Spring Sword God shook Donghuang!
And though he had been reclusive in these years, according to Wan Cangxin, his martial arts had improved even further compared to thirty years ago.
Even though the Night Lord was highly skilled, it was uncertain who would win or lose against that man.
But if he knew clearly the flaws in the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword, comprehended every detail of the swordsmanship.
How could Elder Tianquan possibly defeat him?
Although the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword that Wan Cangxin transmitted to Eternal Night Valley had seventeen flaws,
what kind of people were the Night Lord and Elder Tianquan?
The sword technique used by the Night Lord in his confrontation with Elder Tianquan was certainly not the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword.
These mere seventeen flaws had no meaning in their battle.
“I am a sinner of heaven.
“Perhaps I should have never been born, or else so many would not have been implicated by me.
“After this affair, I sought the Night Lord’s whereabouts, intending to avenge my mentor.
“I wanted to sever all ties of gratitude and enmity with him!
“But unexpectedly, on the way, I encountered the Five Ghosts Heaven Net.
“They deceived me with false pretenses, and I fell into their trap, ultimately injured by their Five Ghosts Heavenly Demon Qi.
“My sins are so great, a myriad of deaths could not atone for them.
“But then, rumors were already circulating that I, Wan Cangxin, was challenging Yu Liu Sword Heart Liu Sui Feng!
“This must have also been the Night Lord’s conspiracy; if I died, he would surely succeed.
“Even just for that, I could not die no matter what at the time.
“However, under the Death Order, someone would always attempt to kill me midway.
“Helpless, I had to disfigure myself to barely cling to life.
“Speaking of which, it’s ridiculous… If it was not for being saved by Su, the Chief of the Escort on the way.
“I would have died long ago.
“Through twists and turns, I feigned ignorance all the way, following by Lord Su’s side, and arrived at Tianqu City…
“I knew the origin of that counterfeit Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword, naturally, I couldn’t let him succeed.
“So I struck at night, yet after killing one, another one unexpectedly emerged.
“It’s also because the Night Lord hadn’t guarded against me in the past; he truly told me all about the ultimate techniques of Eternal Night Valley, otherwise, I would have thought it was a ghostly occurrence. I would never have imagined this was a human skin trick, a cunning method of skinning and garment-making!
“And then, my only thought was to kill the fake in front of everyone.
“This way, the scheme would surely be broken.
“Unfortunately, after I first appeared, they sensed that I was still on Earth.
“Zeng Quan of Huayang Sect died because of this.
“Killing him was not the goal. To murder him with the Heavenly Spring Heart Cleansing Sword and then pin all this on my already deceased senior brother, to disgrace my sect and force me out, that was their real purpose!
“They reckon that I wouldn’t dare to reveal my true identity, otherwise, it would be impossible to keep all this hidden.
“But what… am I to fear!?”
He raised his head and looked towards the heavens above:
“Mentor always said that a man standing between heaven and earth should bear no shame to the skies above and the earth below.
“Regrettably, I, Wan Cangxin, am full of shame and ultimately could not become the person my Mentor had hoped for.
“All my life, I deceived others and my sins are as great as the heavens; my actions have all been a laughingstock.
“Today, atop this Muyun Platform, I speak of this matter as an account to the people of the world!”
As he spoke to this point, he suddenly turned the longsword in his hand horizontally across his chest.
Su Mo’s face changed: “What are you doing?”
Even the Master of the Dongcheng Seven Great Sects, upon seeing this, hurriedly spoke:
“Put down your sword… Although you have been confused, you can not be entirely blamed for this!
“Do not do anything foolish.”
Just as people were about to rush forward, Wan Cangxin shouted sternly:
“Stop! With the Youquan Sect master before you, do you really dare to stop me? Are you not worried that this person will run away?”
His words made everyone present stunned.
But then Wan Cangxin looked up to the sky with a laugh, loudly saying:
“Wan Cangxin was deceived by a vile person and was obsessively stubborn; for this, my first sin!
“My Mentor’s kindness to me was as heavy as a mountain, yet he died because of me; this is my second sin!
“Possessing the sect’s secret teachings, I handed them over to the Evil Demon, resulting in the slaughter of the righteous people from Dongcheng. With each drop of blood shed, the guilt is mine; this is my third sin!
“How can such a great sinner like me have the face to live before others!?
“Today, Wan Cangxin will die to apologize to the world. I dare not claim to redeem my sins, but only hope that, in the underworld, I may see my Mentor, letting him… kill me a thousand, a hundred times over!”
Having said this, Wan Cangxin turned the longsword in his hand, preparing to slash his own throat.
But just at that moment, a sharp point came in a blink of an eye,
And there was Powerful Energy breaking through the air, hitting directly at the blade.
Wan Cangxin suddenly looked up, only to hear a ’ding’ sound; the longsword in his hand had been deflected.
He then saw Liu Suifeng standing tall and straight; looking back at Su Mo, he nodded slightly.
Only then did he turn to look towards Wan Cangxin.
Wan Cangxin closed his eyes:
“Master Liu, it was not I who invited you to Tianqu City for a sword duel.
“The situation today is also not what I wished for.
“Now I seek only death with all my heart, and desire not to duel with swords. I ask Master Liu to oblige.”
Liu Suifeng’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed; he was not good with words and simply felt that Wan Cangxin should not die like this.
That was why he had intervened.
Hearing this, for the moment he did not know what to say.
Instinctively, he looked to Su Mo for help.
The gust of wind that had just broken through the air was indeed Su Mo’s intervention, it was clear that his thoughts and intentions were the same as Liu Suifeng’s.
He was eloquent, and perhaps could persuade Wan Cangxin to have a change of heart.
And now Su Mo had indeed approached.
Looking at Wan Cangxin: “Do you truly wish to die?”
“…Apart from death, I desire nothing else!” Wan Cangxin said calmly, gazing at Su Mo.
Su Mo unexpectedly nodded slightly: “Our paths have crossed for a while, let me escort you on your final journey.”
Wan Cangxin was stunned for a moment, then smiling faintly towards Su Mo:
“Thank you, Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort. Being acquainted with you, even just this once, I, Wan Cangxin, regard it as a life well-lived.
“Thank you!” With that, he stretched out his arms and closed his eyes to await death.
Liu Suifeng, however, was incredulous as he watched Su Mo, who did not say much more but already had a purple light in his single palm.
Suddenly striking forward, hitting directly into Wan Cangxin’s chest.
The power from his chest spread through to his back.
With a thunderous blast, the wind swept in all directions, causing the spectators at the edge of Muyun Platform to step back and fall down, the display frighteningly powerful.
Wan Cangxin’s eyes lit up with a look of relief, then his eyes closed, and his body fell dead to the ground.
