Chapter 95: Chapter 94: Blood Sword Severs Emotion

"I guessed it early on. I just wanted to see what mischief you were up to?"

Gao Xuan said in his heart, he had already noticed something was off with Bai Yuncheng.

"Heartless Sword, heartless and emotionless, only then can you be immortally undying."

Bai Yuncheng bared his ghastly white teeth and laughed maniacally like a fierce ghost.

His resurrection was also due to this marvel, the Heartless Sword. It had stored a part of his obsessive emotions.

When his physical body was slain, the backup inside the Heartless Sword was activated. Thus, he was resurrected.

The special power of the Heartless Sword also repaired the head injury.

However, such resurrection actually has many problems. He can no longer really be called Bai Yuncheng.

With a drastic change in personality and fragmented memories, the current Bai Yuncheng has become another person.

Bai Yuncheng had no thoughts about this; he didn’t have the capacity for such thinking now. He only wanted to kill Gao Xuan to avenge himself.

"I won’t kill you immediately; I will sever your limbs and unveil your mask. To see what you truly are!"

Bai Yuncheng slowly raised the Heartless Sword. Though just resurrected, his power was much stronger than before, and the Source Power within him seemed to have reached the limit of Pegasus Star.

The surging, heavy Source Power made Bai Yuncheng feel invincible under heaven.

The Heartless Sword buzzed and vibrated; this marvel was fully activated. It was not just Sword Qi, but also the special power of the marvel itself.

The raised Heartless Sword stood like a majestic Divine Mountain, possessing the might to annihilate all.

All the guests in the hall felt the pressure of that destruction.

Those with weaker cultivation were so frightened that they went limp, unable to suppress their cries and howls.

Wei Ming, Wei Yue, and Fang Zheng, all being masters, also had tense expressions.

The Heartless Sword seemed to lock onto everyone; the more they stirred their Source Power, the greater the pressure they bore.

At this time, no one dared to act rashly.

Bai Yutang’s face was a bit pale, her bright eyes filled with alarm, making her look very pitiable.

Jiang Haoran protected Bai Yutang behind him, letting her stand with Jiang Xuejun, and said in a deep voice, "It will be fine."

With so many people here, such great experts, could Bai Yuncheng really kill them all with one sword? How could that be possible!

However, Fang Zheng did not share this thought, his old face wrinkled, his hand already on the hilt of his sword.

Bai Yuncheng’s Sword Qi certainly could not kill everyone present, but this slash was likely not just Sword Qi, but also the annihilating Heartless Sword Intent.

That Heartless Sword must be a marvel to possess such power.

Sword Qi is finite, while Sword Intent is infinite.

No matter how fierce and dominant the Sword Qi, it ultimately has a limit. But the Sword Intent emanating from a marvel, that’s uncertain.

Fang Zheng had an intuition that if they couldn’t withstand this sword, they would be killed by the Sword Intent, all consciousness and Divine Soul eradicated, resulting in complete death.

Human technology can clone bodies, but it can’t solve the problem of human consciousness and Divine Soul.

If consciousness and Divine Soul die while the body survives, then it’s just a piece of flesh, and cannot be called human.

Wei Yue and Wei Ming also became tense.

Wei Ming solemnly warned, "The definite extinction Sword Intent targets everyone’s spiritual level. You can only rely on your own power to resist. If I am not mistaken, that Heartless Sword will gain power with each consciousness it annihilates."

"Is there any good way to handle this?" Wei Yue asked.

"Of course, it would be best to kill Bai Yuncheng first. Unfortunately, it’s too late now."

Wei Ming sighed, "In his neither-living-nor-dead state, Bai Yuncheng may also be difficult to kill quickly."

Others lacked this insight and were only suppressed by the Heartless Sword’s destructive Sword Intent, instinctively feeling fear and dread.

The remaining ones like Jiang Haoran and Qingyi Fei Niao didn’t find the Heartless Sword very dangerous.

Yet Qingyi Fei Niao had the most spirit; her small face was unusually serious, gripping the sword hilt tightly. She somewhat regretted not bringing both swords.

Bai Yuncheng, with unclear mind, could, through the Heartless Sword, observe everyone’s Divine Intent reactions.

In his eyes, each person’s spirit was a ball of light, most of them faint white light, swaying constantly under the Heartless Sword and possibly extinguishing at any moment.

Fang Zheng and others’ light was more vibrant, stable, and cohesive, appearing like lamplight.

The strongest was Wei Ming, resembling a huge bonfire emitting intense bright light.

The most marvelous was Qingyi Fei Niao, who shimmered with pure cyan light, though not intense, it was extremely lively.

Such spirit was exactly what the Heartless Sword needed most.

After Bai Yuncheng’s mutation, he continually needed to devour Spiritual Power to maintain his vitality.

In his eyes, Qingyi Fei Niao was the best supplement.

A somewhat confused Bai Yuncheng even ignored Gao Xuan, but then he realized something was wrong—where was the one who killed him?

Turning to look at Gao Xuan, Bai Yuncheng was unable to see any Spiritual Light from him. This puzzled him.

Any intelligent creature should have Spiritual Light. If the other party has none, could it be a robot?

No way, a robot could never wield Source Power.

As Bai Yuncheng pondered over Gao Xuan’s matter, Gao Xuan wasn’t waiting any longer.

Bai Yuncheng had projected his Sword Intent and established a spiritual connection with everyone. Gao Xuan observed these changes clearly.

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada is renowned as the foremost in Spirit. The Heartless Sword was nowhere near comparable.

Such a Low Tier marvel like the Heartless Sword had no effect on the Six-winged Celestial Cicada.

The gap in energy level between the two was too vast. It’s like being in the depths of a mountain, unable to see the mountain clearly.

Gao Xuan saw through Bai Yuncheng’s reality, losing interest in entangling further.

The Godslaying Sword shone forth, its sharp blood-red blade cleaving both the Heartless Sword and Bai Yuncheng in two.

The pure black Heartless Sword emitted large masses of black light, and Bai Yuncheng had black light rising at the center of his brow. These were from the Heartless Sword’s absorption of the spirits of all living beings. It’s precisely the energy the Godslaying Sword favored.

With a turn, the Godslaying Sword absorbed all the black light.

Thus, Bai Yuncheng’s remaining obsession was cut off, leading to his complete death.

Gao Xuan casually tossed the Golden Dragon Sword, which transformed into a flying white light, accurately slipping into the scabbard.

The Sword Cry from the longsword entering the scabbard also swept away the residual Sword Qi of the Heartless Sword.

All those present in the hall felt invigorated, awakening from the suppression of the Heartless Sword Qi.

To their shock, they realized Gao Xuan had vanished.

With so many people in the hall, none saw how Gao Xuan departed.

The Law Enforcement Minister and Xu Mountain glanced at each other, both looked helpless.

From entry to departure, the entire process didn’t even take a minute. The manpower they mobilized hadn’t even set off before he vanished without a trace.

Bai Yuncheng, such a top swordsman, was easily slain by him, showing how profound his swordsmanship was.

He also mastered Stealth techniques, coming and going without a trace. Such a mighty individual could only be cornered in a special environment to have a chance of being eliminated.

Both the Law Enforcement Minister and Xu Mountain were smart, seeing the Godslaying Sword gleaming with bloodlight was enough to know he was the same killer committing those heinous acts continuously.

Because Zhao Yong had already recorded it, the one who killed Zhao Feng wielded a blood-colored longsword.

But Gao Xuan left so quickly, and seeing that further pursuit was futile, both gave up on the idea of hunting him down.

Sending people to pursue would surely not kill him, but might provoke him instead.

With his elusive abilities, he could easily come to kill them too.

Everyone has their stance and thoughts.

For example, the Fang Zhenlin and Fang Zhenhai brothers were pale-faced and extremely embarrassed.

This banquet was intended to flaunt power and intimidate Wei Yue, but instead, Bai Yuncheng was slain in public, causing Fanglian Group’s reputation to plummet.

Now everyone saw clearly, Fanglian Group was utterly defeated this time.

Wei Yue became the biggest winner of the banquet!

The Bronze Masked Swordsman left, yet the immense Divine Power he displayed lingered in everyone’s mind.

Naturally, all the attention fell on Wei Yue.

Everyone believed Wei Yue had arranged all this in advance. Slaying Bai Yuncheng at their own banquet showed extreme arrogance and dominance.

Wei Yue, who appeared elegant and dignified, was now viewed with fear and respect: this woman was fearsome!

In reality, Wei Yue herself was also in a daze: Bai Yuncheng was dead? And she won?

Blood Shadow worked too swiftly! It was just too, uh...

The situation changed too swiftly for Wei Yue to adapt. Fortunately, she maintained her composure, not showing the slightest joy from victory.

Wei Yue’s steady demeanor earned even more respect from the crowd.

Most had complex expressions, having many questions yet finding it inconvenient to voice them.

For a moment, there was silence among the crowd, with only the stirring music echoing in the hall.
