Chapter 25: Heart Sword

Translator: 549690339

“Master, save us!”

Thousands of disciples behind Nun Xuan wept in unison, their sobs heart-wrenching and poignant.

It was unclear if Nun QingYü released control for a moment, or if she was controlling the disciples to cry out like that.

“What do you want, the position of Sect Master? Take it, I can give you anything, as long as you spare these disciples!” Nun QingYü gritted her teeth and spat out, backed into a corner, she had no choice but to kowtow to Nun

Xuan.

Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, a result of her pent-up anger.

With a wave of her palm, Nun Xuan sent Nun QingYü flying, “The position of

Sect Master? I once desired it, but now, I just want to stay by Master

Hongchen’s side.”

“The Human Emperor, Jiang Li, may have noticed the abnormality. I want to control the Sect Protection Array to block Jiang Li and young master Pure Heart. So, hand over the core of the array obediently.”

“Human Emperor Jiang, young master Pure Heart. You are too late.” Nun Xuan stepped on Nun QingYü with a mocking smile on her face.

The Sect Protection Array activated, enveloping the entire Red Dust Pure Land like a bubble. It appeared fragile but was incredibly solid. The Red Dust Pure Land, famed for its mystique and beauty, had existed for countless years, attracting many covetous gazes. It had faced numerous crises, but all were halted by the Sect Protection Array, none had ever managed to break it.

Nun Xuan was not worried that Jiang Li could break the Sect Protection Array.

This was a formation that Master Hongchen brought from the Immortal Realm. Even a full-strength attack from an ordinary immortal wouldn’t make it shake.

She did not believe Jiang Li could break it! He was a mere corporal mortal at the Mahayana realm, not some supreme being from the Immortal realm. There was no way he could break an Immortal Realm array!

Although Saintess Pure Heart often overstepped her bounds, seeing her beloved master humiliated so mercilessly left her with red-rimmed eyes. She attacked the Sect Protection Array.

The peerless Green Lotus spun and bloomed in the void, causing ripples in space as it seemed unable to bear the weight of the Green Lotus. With a forward point from Saintess Pure Heart, the Green Lotus violently collided with the array, causing spatial fractures.

Seeing that the Sect Protection Array was unscathed, dozens more Green Lotus bloomed in the void and smashed into the array together.

Blistering heat waves from the violent explosion leveled everything nearby, but the Sect Protection Array remained unaffected.

Jiang Li took a step forward, patting the panting Saintess Pure Heart.

“My turn.”

Just two simple words, yet they revealed Jiang Li’s confidence.

Nun Xuan laughed as though she had just heard a funny joke. She laughed heartily, “Human Emperor Jiang, I respect the contributions you have made for Jiuzhou. I have no intention of humiliating you either. Just step back. Otherwise, today your invincible legend will be broken!”

Jiang Li ignored her, instead he yelled to Nun QingYtl who was stepped on,

“Leader Qingyü, I saved your life today, so can we call it even?”

Even before Nun QingYü agreed, Jiang Li swung a punch. The Sect Protection

Array, which had remained intact for thousands of years, shattered like glass.

Nun Xuan was dumbfounded, a wave of fear surged in her heart. Seeing Jiang Li stepping towards her with Saintess Pure Heart, she instinctively pointed at the thousand disciples and shouted hysterically, “Don’t move! These disciples have been implanted with my mind control bug. With just a thought, they will commit suicide. Do you think you can act faster than my thought?!”

Jiang Li did indeed stop, not advancing any further. He just quietly watched her and said calmly, “I am indeed unsure if I could be faster than a thought.”

Nun Xuan let out a sigh of relief. It seemed her life was temporarily safe, and she couldn’t help but feel like mocking again.

No matter how arrogant Nun QingYü or how overbearing Human Emperor Jiang were, weren’t they all helpless and obedient because they cared about the lives of a bunch of Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divinity Transformation disciples?

To Nun Xuan, this was very amusing.

Both Nun QingYü and Human Emperor Jiang were merely powerful in their cultivation. They couldn’t abandon others, their mentality wasn’t strong enough. They couldn’t be considered true powerhouses. Only someone ruthless, self-centered, and highly cultivated like her was considered powerful!

She believed that one day she would surpass Jiang Li and reign supreme!

“I don’t ask for much, just let me leave with Master Hongchen, and all of you must swear to the heavens…

“…But why should I rush in the blink of an eye?”

Jiang Li pulled out a sword from the Storage Ring. Xuan, having sensed danger, hastily ordered some disciples to commit suicide, aiming to intimidate Jiang Li.

With a single swing of Jiang Li’s sword, even though no Sword Qi was released, the parasites within the disciples’ bodies were slashed in half, and they died one after another!

The disciples who were about to commit suicide instantly broke free from control and ceased their attempts to end their own lives!

“My swordsmanship is crude, and I only know this one move.” Jiang Li advanced toward Xuan, who was so frightened that she fell on her bottom, powerless to stand, frantically pedaling her legs forward to retreat.

“This move is named Heart Sword. It rises from the mind, falls in the sea of consciousness, and forms a Sword Qi within the body during this rise and fall.”

“Originally, this move was used to sever one’s tendons and excise their flesh.

Now it seems, it is quite fitting to use it to kill parasites and save people.”

“Wait, I still have…” Xuan, noticing the raised sword in Jiang Li’s hand, glistening coldly under the moonlight, was so terrified that her soul almost left her body. She hastily tried to explain her value to Jiang Li.

However, Jiang Li didn’t even listen. He swung his sword down, and her head flew high into the air. Xuan died with her eyes wide open.

“To kill you, I don’t need any swordsmanship.”

With this unremarkable swing of the sword, which could barely even be said to have any technique, everything was settled.

Jiang Li originally intended for Pure Heart to handle this situation herself, but since it surpassed what she could handle alone, he had to step in.

“Thank you, Human Emperor Jiang, for helping Red Dust pass through this calamity. As Pure Heart, I have nothing with which to repay you except myself. ”

Seeing Pure Heart still capable of jesting, Jiang Li assumed her Taoist heart must be unobstructed. He didn’t accept her joke and instead walked over to Daoist Qing.”

“Having been schemed against to the point where your entire sect almost became Union sect, you at Red Dust should learn your lesson. I will keep this matter a secret, it will not be spread.”

Daoist Qing genuinely knelt on the ground, paying respect to Jiang Li. As Jiang Li had said when rescuing her earlier, past grievances were now wiped away. She no longer viewed the Human Emperor as the enemy who killed her previous lover, but as the savior of Red Dust.

Without Jiang Li, Red Dust would have become a laughing stock, and she, Qing, would have been nailed to the Pillar of Shame in Red Dust.

“The actions of Human Emperor Jiang tonight will forever be remembered by Red Dust.”

…Brother Jiang, am I going to die?” In Lower River Town, Du Xin’er’s eyesight was fading, and she could no longer see the visitor distinctly. She sensed by feeling that Jiang Li had come.

Not only Jiang Li had arrived, but also Pure Heart. She deliberately concealed her aura, as she dared not face this pure-hearted junior sister.

With the death of Xuan, the master of the parasites, the parasites began to die one after another. By this point, corpses were strewn all over Upper and Lower River Town, and the atmosphere was suffused with death. As a former Golden Core cultivator, Du Xin’er could hold on a little longer, but not for much longer.

Jiang Li, speaking in a downtrodden tone, recounted everything to Du Xin’er. Pure Heart hid to one side, quietly wiping away her tears.

“Is that so, that’s why I’ve been unable to cultivate… I’m already dead…” Du Xin’er laughed, but even she didn’t understand why she was laughing.

“Didn’t Sister Pure Heart come? I’d like to see her…

Upon hearing this, Pure Heart no longer hid her aura, rushing up and clutching Du Xin’er’s cold little hand: “Junior sister Xin’er, your senior sister’s here, your senior sister’s here!”

But Du Xin’er was unmoved, her head softly slumping to the side.

She was dead..
