Chapter 624: Because There Is Only You

As the lights of the stars gathered in Ling Chuxi’s eyes, the illusory figure of the ancient sword appeared before her.

An ethereal figure walked out of the illusory sword, enveloped by the light of the stars around it. The look on his face was dangerous and determined, written by the unending changes of life. The figure’s big and tall frame resembled the blade of a sword that would rather break than yield, it was so imposing.

Ling Chuxi recalled that when she encountered Qing Lingyan’s Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique for the first time, her mind plunged into an endless darkness and it was precisely this person who now stood before her who had appeared out of thin air and slashed open the void in her mind with the might of a single sword move.

At that time, his figure was so vague, illusory and ethereal. But today, he was clear and visible, appearing before her very much alive.

“Who are you?” Ling Chuxi could not help but ask.

“My name is Cang Yuan!” replied the man, his voice full of magnetism.

“Cang Yuan… You are the sword!” exclaimed Ling Chuxi, extremely surprised. This was the human manifestation of the Cang Yuan Sword? Why would he appear in her mind? Then could it be that the person who had appeared the last time when she encountered the Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique wasn’t him? If it wasn’t, then who could it have been?

“Only you can make my soul and essence become one like before, so I can see the light of day once more. Hahaha!” The man looked to the sky and gave a long laugh once he was done speaking.

Hearing his laughter, Ling Chuxi suddenly found it very strange and a strong sense of unease arose in her heart.

“Nine Gloom Absolute Meridian, Meridian of Heaven and Earth. Only you are able to do it.” The man continued to laugh manically as he spoke. An abundance of a murderous intent to slaughter the world was contained within that smile of his.

Suddenly, the man waved his hand and a brilliant sword appeared in his hand with a flash of starry light. He then promptly slashed at Ling Chuxi.

Ling Chuxi totally did not expect that he would actually attack her and could only retreat. However, she forgot that she was in her own mind and did not know how to retreat from the man’s attacks.

As the sword’s blade went through her, Ling Chuxi did not feel any pain, however her entire mind began to fall by the might of that slash and her consciousness very quickly started to dissipate.

Ling Chuxi was greatly shocked and wanted to force herself to gather her mind, yet her consciousness was like evaporating water, speedily dissipating from her control.

If the Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique of Cold Moon Palace could cause one’s consciousness to fall into an endless void, then this sword attack was clearly one that intended on destroying her consciousness.

However, Ling Chuxi was totally inexperienced in this matter and completely did not know how to deal with it.

At this critical juncture, Ling Chuxi suddenly felt an odd strength flowing into her heart, awakening her lost mind.

All she could see was a figure that closely resembled the man before her, with a sword behind his back. He too was built tall and steady like a mountain peak.

The two figures looked exactly the same, but their auras were totally different. The former was full of a murderous sword might that implied he wanted to slash through the earth and destroy everything, and this new figure had a calm and clear aura that was vast and outstanding, as if he could hold up the sky and control the earth with his fingers.

Ling Chuxi could feel that this new figure was the same sword spirit who had appeared when she encountered Qing Lingyan’s attack the last time.

“So, you are finally willing to come out?” sneered the man with the abundant murderous aura.

“More than ten thousand years have passed, yet you still have not put to rest your murderous intents,” replied the calm sword spirit.

“Hmph, if I put to rest my murderous intents, could we still be called Cang Yuan? If there is no murderous intent whatsoever, what use would a sword be for?” asked the man with another sneer.

“A sword can kill but it can also be used to stop killings,” countered the sword spirit, his tone low and solemn.

“Stop killings? Use a dignified ancient number one killing sword to stop killings? Wait till I snatch over the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians and rebuild my sword path, then I shall wipe out the entire world and annihilate all living things. Let’s see how you plan on stopping killings then!” said the man as he gave a long, maniacal laugh before suddenly attacking the sword spirit.

The sword spirit coldly drew a sword from behind him and the two of them instantly began to battle. They soon filled the whole starry sky, their qi quickly filling up the entire galaxy.
