Chapter 418 - 418 418 Azure Dragon's Past Part 2

418: Chapter 418: Azure Dragon’s Past (Part 2) 418: Chapter 418: Azure Dragon’s Past (Part 2) “Heartless Sword Intent!” On the stage, the heads of the Eight Major Families’ faces grew solemn, as if they were reminded of someone long gone from their memory—a person from twenty years ago.

At that time, they were still very young, just like Situ Junnan and the other Seven Young Masters.

But the emergence of that man was like a meteor streaking across the sky over Beijing, gaining a moment of fame…

until one day when he threatened the status of their families.

It was then that the Eight Families, under duress, dispatched concealed experts from their clans to drive out that self-proclaimed Heartless Swordsman, Ling Xiao, from Beijing and coerced him to vow that he would never step foot in Beijing again, or else he would be executed without mercy!

Fortunately, the Heartless Swordsman, Ling Xiao, kept his word, and in these twenty years, he never set foot in Beijing.

Meanwhile, Ling Xiao completely disappeared from news and gradually faded from the memories of the Eight Great Families.

However, now that the heads of the Eight Major Families saw the Heartless Sword Intent on Azure Dragon, they were reminded of that Heartless Swordsman, Ling Xiao, from that distant time!

“Brother Fazheng, what do you think the relationship between that young fellow down there and Ling Xiao is?” Mu Tianhou asked.

“Not sure for now.

Perhaps, it’s just a coincidence that this young fellow has cultivated the Heartless Sword,” Situ Fazheng replied.

“That may not necessarily be the case,” the Gudu Family Master, Gudu Huangtian, interjected.

“Everyone should still remember the ancient cyan sword on this young fellow’s back, right?

That was the Heartless Sword owned by the Heartless Swordsman, Ling Xiao, back in the day.

Now, this Heartless Sword is in the hands of Azure Dragon.

Doesn’t it make you suspect that this young fellow could be the disciple or descendant of that Heartless Swordsman, Ling Xiao?”

The Family Heads’ eyes narrowed slightly, and their hearts were shaken.

“If what you just said is true, then isn’t this young fellow’s sudden appearance meant to avenge the humiliation his master or his father, Ling Xiao, suffered from being expelled all those years ago?

Otherwise, why would he bear such a striking resemblance to the Ling Xiao from the past, challenging the strongest of the younger generation from our Eight Great Families one by one?”

Speaking indifferently, Mu Tianhou said, “We’d better be wary.

The merciless intent on this fellow is even stronger than that of the Heartless Swordsman, Ling Xiao, back in the day!”

“The Heartless Swordsman’s successor?” Mu Ziying murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing at Azure Dragon below the stage, as if wanting to see through the young man who had cultivated the Heartless Sword Intent.

“Grandfather once said that there are two types of willpower that are the most difficult to cultivate; one is the Heartless Will, and the other is the Sentimental Will.

To fully develop the Heartless Will, you must cut away all emotions and desires, while to develop the Sentimental Will, you must experience the sweetness, bitterness, sours, and spices of life, and feel the full spectrum of human emotions and desires.

Yet, my cultivation path is the exact opposite of Azure Dragon’s; I am cultivating the Sentimental Will.

Could all this be fate?” Mu Ziying thought, looking at Azure Dragon with a strange new feeling emerging in her heart.

Gudu Baitian had been observing Mu Ziying in secret, and noticing her constant focus on Azure Dragon below, with occasional flashes of unusual light in her eyes, his heart suddenly ignited with a massive fury.

As he looked down at Azure Dragon, intense murderous intent surged within Gudu Baitian, and this thick murderous intent was immediately sensed by Gudu Huangtian, who turned to Gudu Baitian and asked, “Tian’er, why do you harbor such intense killing intent in your heart?”

“It’s nothing,” Gudu Baitian took a deep breath, suppressing the rage within, though his teeth still clenched with a grinding sound, “Azure Dragon, I just hope you don’t get killed by that waste Situ Junnan.

I’m still waiting for you to come challenge me, Gudu Baitian.

That day, I will show you the true terror and prowess of the strongest among the younger generation!”

Martial Arts Arena.

From the side, Situ Junnan drew out a common Big Iron Sword.

The Situ family was known for their swords, and their comprehension of swordsmanship had reached the pinnacle over nearly a hundred years.

As the top prodigy of the Situ family, Situ Junnan naturally had a very high understanding and mastery of the sword.

On Situ Junnan’s body, too, there was a terrifying Sword Intent, as if the very Sky Dominating Sword Intent on his sword wanted to split the heavens apart.

“Azure Dragon, since you wish to fight, go all out,”

With the sound of the sword singing, the sword in Situ Junnan’s hand released an overwhelming Sword Intent.

This Sword Intent was not the Sword Will.

At this moment, they were only Momentum Entry Peak experts.

What they had comprehended was simply Momentum’s Sword.

The so-called Sword Intent arose from their heart.

Back in the day, Azure Dragon had cultivated the Heartless Sword, while Situ Junnan cultivated the Sky Dominating Sword.

When they break through the realm of Momentum, the Will they have cultivated in their hearts will truly become the Heartless Sword, the Sky Dominating Sword.

However, Azure Dragon, due to a twist of fate later on, started to cultivate a sword of sentiment despite his heartless nature.

He was born from sentiment, went mad from sentiment, and as a man of emotions, he experienced a great loss.

From then on, Azure Dragon’s Heartless Sword was broken, and the man himself was stuck in the realm of fine manipulation of Momentum for eight long years, until he met Su Xuan.

It was only after breaking that deadlock, entering Borrow Momentum within three days, and two nights before the Su Family’s desperate counterattack, that he reached Momentum’s Profound Meaning…

of course, these are stories for later.

What exactly did Azure Dragon encounter after arriving in Beijing?

What exactly happened between him, the Mu Family, National Security, Mu Ziying, the Gudu Family, and even the other Eight Great Families?

When Su Xuan hears the rest of the story, what decision will they make?

What secrets are hidden within?

What exactly was the relationship between the Heartless Swordsman of the past and Azure Dragon?

Why did Azure Dragon defect from National Security, and why did the National Security elder chase after him to kill him?

And why didn’t Ling Wei, Ji Shang, and Ao Wushuang lend a hand when Azure Dragon was at his wit’s end?

What exactly happened back then?

Many untold stories are hidden here, still unknown for now.

“Since I started practicing martial arts, I have never wielded a sword.

Today, facing the strongest of the younger generation of the Situ family, I am willing to unsheathe my sword!” Azure Dragon spoke calmly.

Behind him, the ancient and rustic sword that had been sealed began to tremble, and with a soft cry, the sword was drawn from its scabbard—an azure, merciless sword.

“In this battle, I am willing to wager an arm.

Situ Junnan, do you dare?”

Azure Dragon’s gaze remained calm, but the chill in his voice was merciless.

Situ Junnan’s expression stiffened, Azure Dragon had challenged him by wagering an arm.

Situ Junnan, the strongest of the younger generation of the Situ family, do you dare?

On the stage, everyone heard these words and all looked at Azure Dragon below with shocked faces.

Situ Junnan’s eyes were filled with uncertainty and doubt.

If he accepted the challenge and won, Azure Dragon would lose an arm.

But if he lost, he would have to sever his own arm.

Should he accept the challenge or not?

However, if he chose not to fight, others would surely mock him in secret, which would affect his Martial Path Heart.

In just a moment, Situ Junnan made his decision.

As the strongest of the younger generation in the Situ family, what reason did he have to shrink back?

So, he gambled on this fight!

A strong fighting spirit suddenly rose from Situ Junnan’s body, with madness and defiance in his eyes, along with the firm belief of a dominating battle.

It was as if the person standing before him was not Azure Dragon but a mere insect!

Without speaking further, two Sword Intents raged and collided in the air.

Sky Dominating Sword Intent and Heartless Sword Intent both shone with their own brilliance.

A gust of sword wind swept by, and both of their bodies moved.

The terrifying Sword Intent was compressed to the extreme, as though it might explode at any moment.

The sword wind whistled.

In the blink of an eye, the figures of the two met.

A Sky Dominating Sword Intent and a Heartless Sword Intent burst forth simultaneously.

In the void, only two Sword Intents remained, leaving no space for anything else.

This was the collision of Sword Cultivators, a battle of Sword Cultivators— the stronger they were, the more dangerous the battle!

The two Sword Intents fell, and both Situ Junnan and Azure Dragon’s figures returned to their original positions.

Situ Junnan looked at Azure Dragon and asked, “Is it just for the sake of swordsmanship?”

“Not entirely.” Azure Dragon replied.

With a flash of the Heartless Sword in his hand, it whooshed back into the sword scabbard on his back.

“This battle, you’ve lost.” Having said that, Azure Dragon slowly turned around and stepped away, leaving the Situ family’s Martial Arts Arena.

“I understand.” Situ Junnan murmured to himself.

Before an expression could form on his face, the audience heard a hissing sound.

Blood spurted in the air as Situ Junnan’s left arm was torn apart by Sword Qi, vanishing without a trace.

…

“Hmm, eight years ago, Azure Dragon actually cultivated the Heartless Sword Intent.

But why did I feel when I first met him, that his heart had already been tainted by Sentimental Will?” Su Xuan asked.

After listening for a while, he had a vague guess that Azure Dragon became what he was now, possibly related to a woman named Mu Ziying.

“This matter is a long story.

When you find Azure Dragon, you can ask him about the past,” Qin Wu said.

“It’s getting late now.

I’ll be going first.

You can go to Wuwang Mountain.

It’s possible that Azure Dragon went to the graveyard.

That’s the place he visits the most.”

Su Xuan nodded and turned to Han Caiyin, “Cai Yin dear, I’m full.

How about we take a walk to Wuwang Mountain?”

“Sure, there’s nothing much happening at the office in the afternoon anyway.

I’ll accompany you there,” Han Caiyin said.

After settling the bill, they hailed a taxi.

Han Caiyin said to the driver, “Master, to Wuwang Mountain, please.”

“The road there is rough, and it’s raining now.

I’ll charge you one hundred yuan,” the driver said, glancing back at Han Caiyin.

“That’s too expensive!” Han Caiyin exclaimed.

“If you think it’s too expensive, you can drive there yourself,” the driver said, somewhat annoyed.

“Judging by your accent, you’re a local, aren’t you?

Don’t you know the road to Wuwang Mountain is treacherous?”

“Of course, I know,” Han Caiyin replied.

“But you can’t charge so much, can you?”

“I don’t even want to take you for one hundred yuan,” the driver said, with an air of superiority.

“It’s drizzling now.

On the muddy path to Wuwang Mountain, the car could easily slip down the mountain road.

If there’s an accident causing damage or death, that would be a real loss.

Charging you one hundred yuan is fair and reasonable.

Take it or leave it, I need to go pick up other passengers.”

Su Xuan was annoyed.

What kind of way was this to talk?

Being all high and mighty over what?

Just a taxi driver, what’s there to boast about?
