242: Chapter 94: How Can One Endure_1 242: Chapter 94: How Can One Endure_1 Sword Qi surged and then withdrew, Jiang Wang returned to the courtyard.
The room he had slashed, now rubble and dust, fluttered down.
But still, he hadn’t hit the real body.
“Jiang!” Hu Shaong this ti ca directly in front of Jiang Wang, already lost in a frenzy of rage, “What exactly do you want?”
“I want to kill you.” This ti, Jiang Wang said it outright.
“You can’t kill , you can’t even find .
Has Xizi Chu been driven away by you?
Do you know how many masters of the Ascending Dragon Realm are in the Xi Family?
When they all take action, chase and blockade, even set up a Formation, do you think you can escape?
Or do you think the na of the Zhong Xuan Family can protect you?
Quickly sending back the Qingyun Sheep to the Zhong Xuan Family, or taking it and fleeing on your own, isn’t that the right thing to do?”
“If I compensate you with a thousand Pri Stones, can we call it even?”
What answered him was Jiang Wang’s Sword Qi surging once again.
Another room was shredded, but Hu Shaong still didn’t reveal his true self.
As the rooms collapsed one by one, with a deafening roar, like tearing down a house, the old and fat Hu You remained slumped in front of the steps, his gaze slowly beginning to waver.
“Why don’t you leave this place?
As I slice inch by inch, you will eventually have to appear.”
This ti it was Jiang Wang who asked.
He could have shattered the entire courtyard in one breath, but he needed to consider the issue of Dao Technique support and the connection of energy.
Whether drawing his sword or sheathing it, he was always on high alert, always reserving the strength for multiple bursts.
Hu Shaong was no weakling, he wouldn’t be careless.
“Don’t think that because old man Hu You is here, you can threaten .
If you want to kill him, kill him.
I don’t care!”
Hu Shaong’s illusion stood just opposite Jiang Wang, his teeth clenched in a grimace.
“Maybe you don’t know, just before you ca, I had just killed his concubine!”
This precisely shows that you do care…
Jiang Wang sighed deeply in his heart.
But he still couldn’t bring himself to point his sword at the throat of an elderly man, to coerce his son to show himself.
He had his own “foolish” thods.
He had his own “foolish” choices.
The violent Sword Qi surged and then withdrew again, Jiang Wang was not discouraged.
Those outside the courtyard had long since fled clean, a few horse-drawn carriages only carrying luggage goods.
One of them seed to have a spooked horse that took it upon itself to pull the carriage out towards the road.
At this mont, the slumped Hu You on the steps suddenly stretched out his hand, tremblingly pointing towards the carriage outside, “There’s a small mirror in that carriage, his real body is hiding inside the mirror!”
He called out with a hoarse voice, “Go and kill him!
Kill him!
That wretch!
Just pretend I never had a son!”
With those words, the carriage suddenly sped up!
The horse drawing the cart galloped madly as if possessed, about to run far away.
Sword light burst forth.
Sun and moon cross the sky, the Star River spans across.
Jiang Wang held nothing back, his move was the Sun, Moon, and Stars Sword.
Like sunlight, moonlight, and starlight, it flowed everywhere, reaching everywhere.
To see it was to be bathed in it!
At the sa ti Jiang Wang made his move, the carriage exploded on its own.
Inside the carriage, a small brass mirror rested on the seat.
Oval, delicate, the outside looked like an ordinary dressing mirror, such as the type a young woman might carry with her when going out.
However, from within the mirror, a pair of hands burst forth; one was intact, the other one had fingers snapped off at the joints, crudely bandaged.
Hu Shaong’s hands!
Hu Shaong leaped out from that mirror in a single bound.
For self-preservation, he had to co out and confront.
He stood on waves and roaring tides.
Huge waves surged before him, with dense clusters of sea serpents swimming through the waves.
One of Diao Hai Building’s signature Dao Techniques, the Serpents’ Tide Swimming.
It possessed both majestic power and lively change.
The light of stars, moon, and sun all poured down in an instant.
The sea serpents shattered, and the waves parted.
Longing pierced through Hu Shaong’s body, bringing his entire figure back into the carriage and collapsing it wholly to the ground.
The horse that was pulling the carriage panicked and bolted, dragging the reins and several planks of wood, whinnying into the distance.
Jiang Wang stood upright, gripping the hilt of Longing, half-crouching beside Hu Shaong, ready to finish him off.
“Hold on!”
Hu Shaong coughed up blood and shouted.
Just now, he had managed to barely shift aside to avoid a fatal blow, not dying on the spot.
But at this mont, his life and death were still in soone else’s hands, and with a sweep of Jiang Wangdao’s Path Origin, he would have no luck escaping.
A thought crossed Jiang Wang’s mind, and he directly used Sword Qi to shatter Hu Shaong’s Tongtian Palace, crippling him completely.
He didn’t speak, but his intention was clear—I’m willing to hear what you have to say, but I won’t give you the slightest chance.
With his cultivation ruined, Hu Shaong spat out another mouthful of blood.
But it seed he was already prepared, breathing forcefully, he spoke with effort, “Before I die, there’s one thing I want to ask of you.”
“I will not agree.”
“I’ll trade with you!
I can’t divulge my sect’s Secret Techniques, but the ones I’ve obtained on my own aren’t included in the blood oath.
The Treasure Light Technique, how about that?
I found it during an adventure in my youth, and it was with it I discovered the Qingyun True Sheep.”
“What do you want?” Jiang Wang added, “I’ve already promised your head to soone else; I can’t spare your life.”
“Zhu Bijing, right?
That foolish woman, just like her sister…” Hu Shaong started cursing but stopped halfway, deeming them not worth the breath.
He shifted the topic, “I am not asking to live.
What’s the point of living without my cultivation?”
He looked at Jiang Wang, a strange smile suddenly appearing on his face, “I have a gift I want to give my dad…
Can you not kill him?”
“I had no plans to kill him.”
People often say that to destroy the weeds, one must pull out the roots, and they also say that misfortune should not reach the family.
After all, these are just reasons and supports one finds for their actions, there is no absolute right or wrong.
For Jiang Wang, he truly had no intention of killing Hu You.
He didn’t have that level of hatred, nor did he care about the potential for revenge from him.
An old man halfway into the grave, without talent or ti, killing him wouldn’t add a sliver of peace to the heart, and keeping him wouldn’t add a trace of worry.
The important thing was to act according to one’s conscience.
“That’s even better.” Hu Shaong gasped for air and continued, “I have a Shadow-storing Stone on ; after I die, play it for him…
let him see it.
Just this one thing, will you do it?”
This was a minor matter.
The worth of the Treasure Light Technique was still unknown to Jiang Wang at the mont, but judging from the Qingyun True Sheep, it shouldn’t be too bad.
“I agree.”
“You’re soone…
soone who keeps their word.
I believe what you say.”
After Hu Shaong had finished reciting the Treasure Light Technique to Jiang Wang, he smiled oddly again, “Kill then.
And afterwards, show it to him.”
He turned his gaze back to the sky for the last ti.
It seed he saw many familiar and unfamiliar faces.
There was Zhu Suyao, whom he had abandoned after early dalliances, the fellow disciples he backstabbed for treasures, those innocents he silenced, so who had deep affection and loyalty toward him, others who harbored ill intentions.
He had also been truly loved, genuinely hated…
In the end, he saw two figures inside the door of a house under heavy falling snow.
A man and a woman.
One was his father; the other was his mother.
“You all…
seem to hate so much…”
He muttered to himself, laughing.
He felt a sharp Sword Qi pierce his heart.
