Both Chu Xiu and Mister Lu smiled when they heard An Liunian say that he had colluded with the demonic path.
However, they were only here to kill today, and a dead man did not need to know too many things, nor did they need to talk to him before he died to ease his nervousness. Therefore, there was no need to talk nonsense, and they could just kill him directly.
Chu Xiu unsheathed the Heavenly Demon Dance and slashed out with the Three Blades of Avici. Monstrous demonic flames surged, and the power was not inferior to An Liunian's Five Technique Sword at all.
The Three Blades of Avici was a demonic blade, but its core concept was hatred. It was a blade of hell that carried madness and hatred.
It was precisely because of the Three Blades of Avici that Chu Xiu was able to suppress the blade of hatred when he used the Seven Demon Blades. The power he needed to use was much less than when he used the Greedy Blade or other blades.
At this moment, when Chu Xiu used the Three Blades of Avici again, he suddenly had a new understanding.
The side effects of the Seven Demon Blades were very great, so it was actually only a half-finished product. The master refiner of the Black Demon Tower had wanted to gather the experts of the Black Demon Tower to research a technique that could be used with the Seven Demon Blades. However, the Black Demon Tower was destroyed because of the great ancient calamity. No one knew whether the people inside were dead or alive, so the technique was naturally not researched.
However, just because they could not research it did not mean that the current Chu Xiu could not.
Since he could control the power of hatred through the Three Blades of Avici, why could he not try to control the power of greed, anger, obsession, love, evil desire, and so on?
As long as he could completely control the power of the seven emotions and integrate it into the demonic blade, would it mean that he could counteract the side effects of the Seven Demon Blades?
With that thought in mind, Chu Xiu slashed out once again. This time, there were no longer any traces of the Three Saber Techniques of Avicinaraka. Only the saber intent was similar, and it looked like it was filled with overwhelming hatred.
Mister Lu was shocked. If it was not for the fact that Chu Xiu was holding the Heavenly Demon Dance, he would have thought that Chu Xiu had used his trump card, the Seven Demon Blades.
Previously, they had discussed that if they could capture him alive, they would do their best to capture him alive. However, Chu Xiu had already used his trump card. This was not right.
As the blade slashed down, boundless hatred surged out from the pitch-black demonic qi. At the same time, it also triggered An Liunian's own hatred!
The hatred in An Liunian's heart was very simple. He hated the world for being unfair to him!
It was his honor to be born in the same era as Chu Kuangge, but it was also his sorrow.
He was honored that he was able to witness the rise and fall of a great hero, a legend of the Jianghu. Sadly, he was not even qualified to serve as a foil to the hero.
But to be born in the same era as Guan Siyu was also his honor and sorrow.
He was honored that he, who had been nurtured and raised by the Guanzhong torture room, would one day be able to witness the true prosperity and stability of the Guanzhong torture room, establishing a foothold in the Jianghu. Their strength would far surpass that of their predecessors in the Guanzhong torture room.
Sadly, the one who had created all of this was not him, but his opponent. Although his heart belonged to the Guanzhong torture room, he would most likely be a negative character in the records of the Guanzhong torture room in the future. He would be an ambitious Great Leader of the Criminal Division who did not listen to the Hall Master's orders and controlled his army.
Now, facing Chu Xiu, An Liunian no longer felt sorrow or honor. He only felt hatred!
His eyes were slightly red, and the force of the sword in An Liunian's hands even became a little violent. However, it was also starting to become chaotic and unstable.
For a swordsman, it was a very terrifying thing to be unable to control the force of the sword. As an opening was discovered by Chu Xiu, he slashed down with the Heavenly Demon Dance. That hateful strike was unleashed to the extreme, completely shattering the golden sword in An Liunian's hands!
An Liunian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood as the blade entered his body. However, it was also because of this mouthful of blood that a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes, and he did not continue to be lost in that hatred.
At this moment, An Liunian had woken up, while Chu Xiu had entered a state of enlightenment.
There was no longer any enemy before him. There was only his own blade, as well as the sword intent that was filled with overwhelming hatred!
Mister Lu also noticed that something was wrong with Chu Xiu. However, he then heaved a sigh of relief and even nodded with a smile, revealing a hint of satisfaction on his face.
As expected of the Phaseless Demon Sect, Chu Xiu was the first genius that Mister Lu had set his eyes on. To think that he had actually entered a state of enlightenment during a battle.
Enlightenment was a very mysterious thing for warriors. Regardless of whether it was Taoism, Buddhism, or Demon, everyone knew that after entering a state of enlightenment, one's thoughts would be like a heavenly steed soaring into the sky, and one might be able to comprehend something.
However, no matter what one comprehended, it would all belong to them. Outsiders would not even be able to replicate it, as no one's enlightenment would be exactly the same.
However, the majority of martial artists would have an epiphany when they saw two powerhouses fight, or when they saw something that touched their heartstrings, or when they saw a magnificent scenery that touched their state of mind. Only then would they have an epiphany.
Legend had it that the Junior Celestial Master, Zhang Chengzhen, had entered a state of enlightenment while bathing in thunderstorms on a stormy day. He had even used his One with Heaven realm cultivation to draw in the power of thunder and imprint a lightning mark on a cliff on Mount Longhu.
Now, however, Chu Xiu had entered a state of enlightenment during a battle. This was very rare, and it was also the easiest for danger and others to interrupt him.
Therefore, Mister Lu had been guarding beside Chu Xiu. He did not attack too intensely, as he only wanted to prevent An Liunian from counterattacking.
At this moment, Chu Xiu's mental state was indeed very mysterious, and it could be described as a heavenly steed soaring into the sky.
The saber intent of the Hatred Blade could be cultivated. One had to understand this power, use it, and then suppress it until one could control it.
Back when he had cultivated the Three Sabers of Avici, Chu Xiu had done this. Now that he had come into contact with the power of the Hatred Blade, he could even use the Sky Demon Dance to simulate 70% of the power of the Hatred Blade. The more he used it, the more proficient he became, and the Hatred Blade was now completely under his control.
Moreover, Chu Xiu could use the same method with the other sabers. He would first use the Seven Demon Sabers, then comprehend the power within them. Finally, he would transform the essence of the power into his own, and finally, he would be able to control the Seven Demon Sabers perfectly.
Chu Xiu did not know if this was considered a cultivation method, but he knew that if his deduction was correct, he would be able to control the power of the Seven Demon Sabers perfectly in the future.
Moreover, the most important thing was not the Seven Demon Sabers, but the fact that Chu Xiu could control the seven emotions, which did not belong to the power of heaven and earth, but the emotional power that was rooted in human nature!
Chu Xiu had not told anyone about these realizations. If he were to discuss it with a martial arts master like Chenqing Di, Chu Xiu would know that his current understanding of the martial way was already stronger than most martial arts masters.
The martial way, the martial way, any cultivation method, and any martial arts technique would eventually become a kind of 'Dao'.
It was like an obscure sentence that was extremely concise and pointed to the core. This was the Dao.
However, most people could not comprehend this Dao. Therefore, martial arts masters who had comprehended this Dao would annotate this sentence. Although it seemed extremely complicated, from a dozen words to hundreds of thousands of words, it allowed more people to understand it. Even if they only understood a little, they would be able to unleash a certain amount of power. This was the true essence of martial arts cultivation methods.
When a cultivation method was cultivated to the extreme and completely comprehended, one would naturally come into contact with the 'Dao' within.
Therefore, ordinary martial artists would first cultivate the cultivation method, then progress from small success to great success, and finally to the extreme. Only after comprehending the 'Dao' within would one be considered to have reached perfection.
Currently, Chu Xiu was directly comprehending the 'Dao' within, which was similar to that of a martial arts master. It was just that he had not completely perfected a cultivation method that could pass on this' Dao '.
At this moment, An Liunian had clearly also noticed Chu Xiu's state. However, with Mister Lu harassing him from the side, he did not even have the chance to interrupt Chu Xiu's enlightenment.
Most importantly, An Liunian only wanted to escape. How could he have the spare time to think about interrupting Chu Xiu's enlightenment?
Seeing that Mister Lu was hot on his heels, Chu Xiu was about to complete his enlightenment, and Gongshu Yuan was watching coldly from the side, An Liunian gritted his teeth. The blood around him boiled, and he actually condensed a blood sword with his own blood!
Actually, An Liunian's martial way was an ancient sword cultivation method. It was very ancient, so ancient that even in ancient times, not many people would cultivate it.
An Liunian's Five Sword Techniques first required him to use his blood and willpower to refine the sword in his hand. Then, he would cultivate a sword technique in tandem with his own sword. Finally, he would reach the stage where his heart and mind were connected.
This kind of sword cultivation method was too complicated. Moreover, once something happened to one's weapon, it would be a very serious blow to one's strength. Therefore, this kind of sword cultivation method was slowly eliminated, and not many people would cultivate it.
However, the reason why this kind of sword cultivation method was eliminated was not because it was not strong enough, but because it was too complicated. Therefore, it was not used by the large sects.
However, this technique was a treasure to An Liunian, who had been a mere constable in the pugilistic world back then. He had relied on this "outdated" sword technique to cultivate all the way to his current level.
Now that An Liunian's golden sword had shattered, it matched the ancient martial art practitioners' evaluation of this kind of sword cultivation method's flaws.
However, An Liunian had considered this before. Once his Five Sword Techniques were destroyed, it meant that he was at the end of his rope. Since it had already come to this, he definitely had to fight with his life on the line. At this time, he no longer cared about flaws. The only way to survive was to fight with his life on the line!
The blood sword replaced the golden sword and merged with the Five Sword Techniques. The power of the five elements combined into one, stirring up the winds and clouds. The power that erupted in that instant even forced Mister Lu to retreat temporarily.
Chu Xiu sighed. He had wanted to capture An Liunian alive, but judging from An Liunian's current state, it was obvious that he was prepared to fight to the death.
Therefore, Chu Xiu also grabbed Greed's blade. In that instant, the demonic blade was unsheathed, triggering Greed to devour everything. The sword-light of the five elements combined was completely devoured by Greed's blade. Even An Liunian's protective Qi of Vigor was completely devoured.
There was a loud bang, and blood splattered. An Liunian's corpse fell to the ground. His eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with grievances.
