Chapter 4,221: The Sword of Slaughter

t before his eyes, all vanished without a trace in an instant!The feeling Jiangyun gave me was like being closed-eyed myself, falling into an illusion, but also myself...Then, Ginger Cloud's fist that...In the cracks of a realm within Slaughter Heaven, one of the myriad heavens, a shadowy figure lay unconscious.

This is Jiang Yun, who was sent back directly from the Illusory Realm by Yuan Qingcang.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Jiang Yun slowly opened his eyes.

However, after a glance at the darkness before him, he closed his eyes again, as if his soul had been extinguished. He remained motionless, adrift in the space between worlds.

Although he had been unconscious before, every word his master said afterward was crystal clear to him. He also knew that he had been sent back to the myriad heavens domain.

His mind was not on what his master had said after he fell unconscious, but constantly replayed the last words he had heard from his master before losing consciousness—Sell your life for a hundred years!

This time, I entered the Illusory Realm to save my master.

In the end, not only did he fail to rescue his master, but he also implicated him, causing the master to serve the Yuan family for a hundred years and saving himself in the process.

Many people say that Ginger Cloud is bold, but in Ginger Cloud's heart, the master is the truly fearless and unparalleled person!

Whether it's in the Dao Domain, the Lower Realm, the myriad heavens gathering domain, or even within the Four Boundaries Hidden Realm, Master has always remained fearless in the face of anyone.

When he was in the Dao Domain, the master sat in Dao Ruins and sat equal with the Dao Venerable. The three disciples were all masters of various great realms and could also be considered Dao Lords of the Dao Domain.

Having arrived in the Zhutian Collection Realm, he was not an emperor himself, but to help his disciples enter the realm smoothly, he joined forces with his master and dared to confront thirteen Great Heavenly Venerables. In the end, they both retreated unharmed.

As a venerated elder of his time, he single-handedly stood against numerous emperors from the Cang Lao Guild.

To the very end, he spared no effort, even sacrificing his own body and life, to protect all the ancient people.

He himself was a lone soul, entering the cycle of reincarnation and being reborn in the Celestial Realm, starting from scratch and walking the path of cultivation once again. He had almost reached the pinnacle.

However, in the Illusory Realm, such a formidable and arrogant master, for his disciple, put aside his own pride, bowed his always lofty head, and was willing to serve the Yuan family for a hundred years.

It sounds good, selling one's life, but in reality, it's just slavery!

Slavery for a hundred years!

Change the disciple's fate!

This made Jiang Yun's heart incredibly heavy, incredibly unwilling, and even more incredibly angry!

After a long time, Jiang Yun’s eyes suddenly opened again, his face showing determination. He said word by word: “Master, rest assured, within five hundred years, I will definitely become the Emperor!”

Although Gingercloud had aspirations to become emperor in the past, he didn't place too much importance on it.

But after this incident, he finally made up his mind.

Not only must one become an Emperor before awakening the Eye of Illusion, but they must also become the most powerful Emperor!

Only in this way, what happened to the master, will not be repeated on anyone you care about!

Jiang Yun kept his eyes open, staring into the darkness before him. In his mind, however, thoughts were gradually beginning to stir.

Finally, Jiang Yun slowly stood up and said, "I'll go to my grandfather first and meet with my senior brothers. I'll tell them the truth about Master."

Originally, Ginger Cloud didn't want to let her senior brothers and sisters know about Master being in danger. But now things are different.

Since Master hopes that all four of his disciples can become Emperors and go to the Illusory True Eye together, then Ginger Cloud will do his best to fulfill Master's wish!

"No, it's not just my fellow disciples, but everyone I want to protect. I have to see them all one last time."

Then, I entered the Four Realms Treasury once more, entering a realm beyond heaven and earth.

"I remember, the grand martial arts competition of Tianwai Tian should be starting soon."

"This time, in this competition, I must at least win the position of lieutenant general."

"Because, there, I can accelerate my journey to becoming Emperor, and increase the possibility of me becoming Emperor!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yun casually chose a direction and walked slowly. His figure soon disappeared into the endless darkness.

—>

The Xuan Yang Realm, a very inconspicuous small world within the Killing Heavens!

At this moment, a plain-clothed middle-aged man emerged from the world. He had a stern face and an emotionless expression, with a sword strapped to his back.

Just as the man stood at the boundary, his figure suddenly shifted. The long sword on his back flew up by itself, transforming into a cold light and shooting towards a specific direction.

"Clang!"

Accompanied by a crisp clang of metal, the long sword that had just been flung out was knocked back and landed once more in its sheath behind the man.

And from the darkness, a figure stepped out, it was Jiang Yun.

Ginger Cloud looked at the middle-aged man, a smile on her face. "Brother-in-law, I came to see you!"

Hearing Ginger Cloud's address to him, the middle-aged man frowned.

And immediately following that, a ball of light flew from Jiang Yun's hand and directly entered his brow.

The light faded, causing the middle-aged man's body to tremble violently. He involuntarily closed his eyes.

And just after counting his breaths, he opened his eyes again. A fleeting look of joy at the reunion crossed his face, but it quickly returned to calmness. He looked at Jiang Yun and said, "Your strength has grown, but your swordsmanship hasn't progressed at all!"

Of course, this middle-aged man is Jian Sheng!

At first, he, along with Jiang Yun and others, crossed the domain gate, traversed the Linggu Domain, and entered the Zhutianji Domain. As a result, Ji Kongfan recommended him to the Slaughter Celestial Venerable.

Slaughter Heaven Lord originally wanted to take Ji Kongfan as his disciple, but after seeing Jian Sheng's talent, he gladly accepted him as a student.

At that time, along with Jian Sheng, another person who entered the Slaughter Heavenly Venerable's sect was Bai Li Guang An!

After Jiang Yun returned from the Illusory True Realm, he found himself sent back to the Slaughter Heaven. He then thought of Jian Sheng.

After much inquiry and searching, I learned of the sword master's whereabouts. That is why I have come to this Xuan Yang realm.

Upon hearing Jian Sheng's words, Jiang Yun couldn't help but smile slightly: "I cultivate too many things, and in swordsmanship, I don't have your perseverance and determination. It's unlikely I can make further progress."

In terms of talent and perseverance in the path of swordsmanship, in Jiang Yun's view, no one he had ever met, including himself, could compare to a swordsman.

The sword master didn't continue to dwell on this issue any further.

Although he was born for the sword, he couldn't make everyone be like him.

Therefore, he changed the subject and said, "It's rare for you to come find me, and it has brought back memories of the past. There must be something important. Just tell me!"

Jiang Yun turned his head and took one last glance at the Xuan Yang Realm.

In this realm, there are no living people left. Everyone is dead, and they all died in the same way: a sword pierced through their brows.

Of course, they were all killed by Jian Sheng!

Jiang Yun said softly, "Senior brother-in-law, don't you see the purpose of the Slaughter Heavenly Venerable"

"Of course I know," Jian Sheng said with a faint smile. "He trained me to be a sword in his hand, a blade for killing!"

Jian Sheng, although he was indeed taken in as a disciple by the Slaughter God Sovereign, and the Slaughter God Sovereign also guided his cultivation, but the Slaughter God Sovereign's true purpose was not to let Jian Sheng inherit his mantle, but simply to cultivate Jian Sheng into a sword that could kill!

Therefore, since Kenjūrō had made some progress in his swordsmanship training, the Slaughter Heaven Lord began assigning him missions to continuously engage in killing.

It can be said that over the years, the number of people who have died at the hands of swordsmen is already uncountable.

Today, Jian Sheng, under the orders of the Slaughter Heavenly Venerable, has come to this Xuan Yang Realm to carry out the mission of destroying it.

Ginger then asked, "Since you know, why do you still listen to him"

Kenji also cast a glance down at the Xuan Yang Realm below, faintly saying: "Killing is helpful to my swordsmanship!"

That's true, although Jian Sheng is only at the Realm of Reality now, the intensity of his killing aura makes even Jiang Yun feel a sense of shock.

If we talk about sword fighters of the past, while they were as sharp as swords, they were merely swords sheathed in their scabbards.

A sword unsheathed, and no one could sense his killing intent.

And now, Kenshin is a drawn sword, constantly emanating a strong aura of killing intent.

As for Jian Sheng's way of strengthening his swordsmanship through killing, Jiang Yun didn't know if it was good or bad, but he wouldn't interfere.

Because this is the path Kenzan himself chose.

Jiang Yun continued to ask, "If there was a place where your swordsmanship would be more helpful"

Where

There was a place called Emperor's Tomb, where an Emperor Sword resided. The sword was plunged into the tomb, suppressing it.

"I hope my senior brother-in-law can help me, and pull out this sword!" Fen Zong.Although they weren't provoked by outside forces as frequently as the Shan Hai Fen Zong, they had all been bullied by powerful factions to some extent. They were just not strong enough to fi...
