Chu Yang smiled bitterly, but he did not show it on his face.
This time, he was indeed taking a huge risk. Now, it was a matter of life and death. Once the fourth fragment of the Calamity Sword appeared, he really did not have much confidence.
He had a feeling that everything seemed to be following some kind of mysterious path, and was proceeding in an orderly manner. Including his heaven-defying actions to change his fate, it seemed to be on this path that had already been set.
Everything was logical.
For example, after his rebirth, he first punished Shi Qian Shan and caused a series of events. That was why he was recognized by Wu Yun Liang. That was why he entered Iron Cloud and met Gu Du Xing.
Because he met Gu Du Xing, he met Dong Wu Shang, Luo Ke Di, Ji Mo and Rui Bu Tong.
Because he met these brothers, the current three heavens were formed. And because of them, he met Ao Xie Yun and Xie Dan Qiong. When everything was put together, it created the storm of the three heavens.
The fourth fragment of the Calamity Sword was at the Lake of Despair!
And the final location that Mo Tian Ji chose to resolve this storm was coincidentally at the Lake of Despair!
Everything was strange. But it was so logical that no one could find any fault with it.
Perhaps in the entire world, only he, who had been reborn, could feel the traces of such manipulation.
Step by step, he was pushing himself towards the path of the Calamity Sword Master! If there were no accidents, he would definitely be able to obtain the complete Calamity Sword and unify the Heavenly Layer after this ingenious arrangement! He would walk the common path of all the previous Calamity Sword Masters.
But today's events had clearly taken a turn.
This was something that could be felt from the severe injury to his Spirit. This time, he had stubbornly insisted on getting injured. Only then did he completely get rid of the traces of "control"!
To become a complete version of himself! A complete path!
But there was no doubt that in this world, to be a complete version of himself, the price to pay … would be his life!
"Life … so what?" Chu Yang smiled arrogantly. "Do you want me to watch them die? Are all the previous Calamity Sword Masters so cruel and cold-blooded? Then … even if I don't become the Calamity Sword Master, what can I do? "
The Sword Spirit sighed and said, "Lord Sword Lord, you shouldn't have let me do this. I was forced by you to forget something important! "
"What's the big matter?" Chu Yang asked quietly. His voice carried a chill.
"They won't die! Even if I don't do anything and you don't do anything, they won't die! " The Sword Spirit heaved a long sigh. It was too late for regrets. "Because they were chosen by the Lord. They were destined to accompany the Lord and charge into the heavens. How could they die? There will definitely be another savior! "
Chu Yang said lightly, "I know! Before you made your move, I had already thought about this problem. "
"You know?" The Sword Spirit looked at him, flabbergasted. His face was full of disbelief. "You've thought about this problem?"
"Then why did you ask me to do it? Do you know that you will die if you do this?! "
"Dying is no big deal." Chu Yang insipidly said, "I've thought about it, and I'm sure of it. But, I still can't stand it. They're dying in front of me. They're bleeding in front of me. But, I'm still indifferent. I'm only pinning my hopes on a slim hope. I'm not so cold-blooded. After all, they're my brothers. "
"And … this operation is very strange. It's clearly acting according to a fixed script. This feeling is too obvious. "Chu Yang said coldly," They won't blame me if I don't do anything when they're in danger this time. But, they'll definitely feel uncomfortable afterward. Because I'm right next to them. But, I didn't do anything. This is the first reason. "
"Secondly, I'll feel even more uncomfortable when I face them in the future. I'll feel guilty and apologetic. I'll feel that I'm despicable. So, I'll have a kind of inner demon. That is … I won't be able to face them like before. "
"It's the same for them."
"Therefore, that would be a severe blow to the brotherhood between us!" Chu Yang insipidly said, "We'll still be together in the future. We'll still fight for the same goal. But, there's one thing I'm sure of. My relationship with them will never return to how it was in the past. So, over time, it will form a kind of relationship between a superior and a subordinate. "
"This is clearly an erasure and destruction of our brotherly feelings!"
"I don't understand why there'll be such destruction. But, I can't tolerate it. So, I'd rather die than let you do it! " Chu Yang smiled faintly. "I don't know what the consequences of doing this will be. But, I can clearly feel from this moment that I've truly broken the Heavenly Dao and rushed out of the trajectory."
"So, my punishment is also so severe."
"But, I won't regret it. Because it's worth it! " Chu Yang said solemnly to the sword spirit in his mind, "I don't want to face them with guilt in the future. Because, to both of us, that's worse than death!"
"When you feel guilty towards someone, you don't even dare to look into their eyes! If this kind of feeling happens between friends and brothers, just once can completely destroy years or even decades of feelings. I don't want to destroy it! What I want is to be calm and complete. "
The sword spirit was dumbfounded at first. Then, he fell into deep thought. Finally, he lowered his head and sighed. "I've never seen such a loyal and righteous Tribulation Sword Master like you! You're actually willing to risk your life for … such a feeling! … "
Chu Yang heard something from this sentence. He asked sensitively, "Could it be that the previous masters of the Calamity Sword weren't people who valued friendship and righteousness?"
The sword spirit suddenly raised his head. He seemed to be shocked by his question. Then, he lowered his head and didn't say a word. Then, his body slowly disappeared into the Tribulation Space. Only a sentence floated over. "When you're done, the Divine Spirit will immediately enter the Soul Quenching Spring to make up for as much as you can."
Chu Yang pondered. He didn't reply for a long time. After a long silence, he said slowly, "Is it possible that only heartless … can be the Tribulation Sword Master?"
His voice echoed in the Space of Consciousness. But, the sword spirit didn't answer.
The Tribulation Space was silent.
Chu Yang was silent for a long time. His soul body stood quietly in the Tribulation Space. Suddenly, he sneered. He was full of sarcasm, contempt, and mockery … He said to himself, "Really … Ridiculous! "
…
What Chu Yang and everyone else didn't know was that when Gu Du Xing and the others were in the most critical moment, when Chu Yang was using suicide to destroy ten thousand tribulations to force the sword spirit, a figure silently entered the forest like a thunderbolt!
This figure was agile and fast. It was believed that he was one of the best even in the entire Heavenly Layer World.
This figure was Duke Yu who had traveled a long way to come here!
When he stopped and looked at the scene, Dong Wu Shang and Gu Du Xing were both injured. They were spurting blood and retreating. They were on the verge of death.
At that time, Duke Yu was about to make a move. When he was about to rush out with a long roar, the sword spirit had already appeared. His powerful aura instantly suppressed the whole scene!
Duke Yu, who had already rushed out halfway, suddenly stopped. He quietly leaned on a tree and watched the changes in the scene. Since then, Duke Yu wouldn't make a move because he didn't need to.
But, if Chu Yang didn't make a move, Duke Yu would!
Just as Chu Yang and the sword spirit had expected, Gu Du Xing and the others wouldn't die!
If Duke Yu made a move and Chu Yang didn't, it would be just as Chu Yang had expected, the relationship between the brothers would become very strange in the future.
But, at this moment, Chu Yang finally gave up on himself and let the sword spirit make a move!
When the sword spirit made a move, it was tantamount to breaking the heavenly secret that had been arranged long ago!
So, Chu Yang's feeling wasn't wrong at all. At this moment, he had truly … jumped out! He had jumped out of the vicious circle of the previous Tribulations Sword Masters!
But, was this a good thing for Chu Yang? Or a bad thing?
How could he withstand the test of the Tribulations Sword when his spirit was injured?
But after all, Chu Yang had used himself to take risks in exchange for the present, for a calm heart, and for a future full of crises!
If this was a battle, it was also a battle between friendship, conscience, and interests!
If he took a step forward, his spirit would be calm and at ease, but he would experience death and life. If he took a step back, the world would be unscathed, but the crack would remain forever and his spirit would be doomed eternally!
If you … what would you choose?
…
Now, Yu Gongzheng was looking at Chu Yang with a somewhat incomprehensible look in his eyes. Obviously, this Minister Yu, who had a high cultivation level, was also extremely shocked by Chu Yang's performance! …
The sound of horse hooves thundered. The first clan to arrive was the Huyan Clan.
The people of the Gu Clan and the Dong Clan also arrived under the leadership of Dong Wu Lei after a while.
They sucked in a mouthful of cold air when they entered the forest and saw the corpses.
They had arrived a step too late.
Everyone's entire body was drenched in cold sweat when they had heard their brothers and relatives talking about the danger they had just faced. They didn't know whether they were remorseful or glad.
The people of these clans would've been among the corpses on the ground if they had arrived a step earlier! Moreover, they wouldn't have been few!
But, they had arrived a step too late, and hadn't been able to catch up with this excitement. So, they were somewhat regretful.
Then, everyone neatly and unanimously kept their mouths shut at the request of Gu Du Xing and Dong Wu Shang. This was tantamount to a super gag order!
Tan Tan was still sitting quietly. He didn't make the slightest movement. The golden rays of light around his body were still flickering. Everyone who saw this scene clicked their tongues in amazement.
…
Upper Three Heavens …
In the fifth courtyard of the Zhuge Clan …
Diwu Qing Rou was reading a book in front of his desk. His complexion was indifferent and calm.
It was at that moment … Tan Tan had suddenly been attacked by those so-called five great killing weapons … if one were to describe it clearly …
Suddenly, a 'pop' sound was heard. Diwu Qing Rou's complexion changed. He then stood up indifferently.
He opened a secret compartment on the desk, and a small purple jade bottle popped out. He saw that a pill had already broken into pieces inside the jade bottle. A kind of golden color pervaded the purple jade bottle.
Diwu Qing Rou's complexion changed. His eyes exposed a meaningful look as he muttered to himself, "It's done?"
