Chapter 19: hope
Watching the three-eyed monsters charging fearlessly towards the sky, Yetian felt a long-lost sense of inspiration well up within him.
At this moment, he was no longer afraid.
Even if they were monsters, who cared as long as they had blood and flesh?
He turned around, sword in hand, and joined the others in slaying the terrifying tentacles emerging from the endless sea of blood!
When Chen Su saw Yetian charge forward, he looked anxious and wanted to intercept the tentacles for Yetian, but two tentacles found a gap and lashed out at Yetian!
Facing the oncoming tentacles, Yetian was not afraid at all. His eyes were full of anger, and his surrounding spiritual power surged, unleashing terrifying cultivation several times stronger than that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator. He sliced the two tentacles in half with one sword, turning them into a cloud of blood mist!
Seeing how easily Yetian dealt with the tentacles, Chen Su's terrifying face relaxed, and his three eyes showed relief.
However, the sea of blood was endless, and the tentacles were inexhaustible. As the blood surged and churned, countless tentacles emerged once again, lashing wildly towards them!
Some disciples with slightly lower cultivation were instantly shattered by the tentacles, turning into a cloud of blood mist!
Moreover, after Yetian left the formation protecting the Qingcheng Sect, the terrifying sea of blood seemed to have been stimulated by something. Giant tentacles, much larger than before, emerged from within and lashed towards the direction where Yetian was!
Seeing this, Yetian was shocked and gathered his spiritual power, ready to unleash it at any moment!
But at this moment, Chen Su's figure flashed and stood in front of Yetian.
"It's no use. The power source of these tentacles is this sea of blood. As long as the sea of blood exists, the tentacles will never end!"
"Tentacles? Sea of blood?"
Hearing Chen Su's words, Yetian's eyes widened in disbelief and looked at Chen Su.
"Teacher, you can see them?"
"I can't see them, but there is a different reflection in your eyes."
Chen Su's tone was flat.
"I also know that in your eyes, this world is full of absurdity and strangeness."
"Perhaps what you see is the truth of this world!"
"Only you, who can see, can find a path leading to heaven in this world and bring clarity and brightness back to the entire cultivation world!"
"So, you are the hope of the entire cultivation world! You must not die!"
After speaking, Chen Su's grotesque and fleshy body stood in front of Yetian, and his sticky bodily fluids gathered and quickly flowed towards the Suxin sword in front of him!
In an instant, the Suxin sword absorbed all the bodily fluids, its blade glowing brightly, pointing towards the sky and piercing a large hole directly through the entire sea of blood!
"Divine Reversal of Heaven's Hunt!"
Chen Su shouted loudly, and the Suxin sword's light soared into the sky, turning the entire sky dark as if it were a pond, with ripples spreading out in all directions from its center!
In the center of the ripples, an enormous sword emerged, carrying terrifying momentum and descending towards the endless sea of blood below!
Facing this terrifying attack, the endless sea of blood also seemed to sense the danger. Countless tentacles emerged rapidly, lashing towards the giant sword!
Boom!
A loud sound echoed, and a terrifying energy wave exploded in mid-air, sweeping through the surroundings!
Those caught in the explosion were instantly blown away and slammed hard into the ground!
The endless sea of blood was directly sliced apart by this sword strike, and it could no longer maintain its form. Countless droplets of blood splashed and scattered throughout the world!
"Blocked?"
Before Yetian could feel relieved, a hundred-foot-large blood ball suddenly shot out from within the sea of blood and hurled towards the direction where Yetian was!
Seeing this, Chen Su's eyes narrowed sharply.
"Get out of the way!"
He shouted loudly, pushing Yetian away with his tentacles and dragging his broken body to swing the Suxin sword towards the blood ball!
Boom!
Amidst the howling of sword light, the terrifying blood ball was sliced apart into a cloud of blood mist!
Within the blood mist, Chen Su coughed up blood, his body flying backwards with his spiritual power in disarray and his aura depleted.
Seeing this, Yetian caught Chen Su in his arms with a look of profound sorrow and grief, regardless of the changes in his own vision.
"Teacher..."
"I'm sorry, Teacher! It's all my fault!"
"If it weren't for me, none of this would have happened!"
"You've protected me time and time again, yet I still doubted you..."
Yetian's shoulders trembled continuously as tears streamed down his face and dripped onto Chen Su's.
Chen Su saw Yetian's heartbroken expression and weakly extended his remaining right hand to wipe away the tears on Yetian's face, forcing a smile.
"A real man doesn't cry. What are you crying about?"
"It's not your fault. The things you see are inherently different. If it were me, I might not have handled it better."
"But now that you've cultivated a path different from this world through what you've seen, it proves that what you see is the truth of this world!"
Saying this, Chen Su took a deep breath, trying to calm his breathing.
"My disciple, remember this. This world is absurd, and cultivation might essentially be a fraud."
"Your emergence might be the key to breaking this absurd fraud, so you must never die easily!"
At this point, Chen Su suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Seeing Chen Su's condition, Yetian nodded firmly.
"I will!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Su smiled sadly and turned his gaze towards the sect token floating in mid-air.
Yetian followed Chen Su's gaze and his eyes narrowed.
As Chen Su's cultivation drained away, the sect token in mid-air rapidly descended, and the formation protecting the Qingcheng Sect dissipated at this moment.
As soon as the formation dissipated, the sound of shouting and killing echoed from the mountain paths nearby the Qingcheng Mountain.
"Kill!"
"This is our chance to avenge the humiliation suffered by our Jiulong Temple! Let's kill these Qingcheng Sect disciples!"
"Kill!"
In their field of vision, countless figures dressed in robes and wearing bald heads emerged from all directions, wielding various magical implements as they charged towards the Qingcheng Sect!
Leading them was the abbot of Jiulong Temple, Xuanmiao, who had tried to detain Yetian on that day!
At this moment, his eyes were full of excitement.
"Chen Su, I've finally waited for this day!"
"I regretted not being able to kill you back then. Today, I will make up for that regret!"
"Today, you have exhausted your killer moves and lost your cultivation. I want to see how you can stop me now!"
