Chapter 564: The Heart-Piercing Blade Shatters the Wrath of Heaven! [Two-in-One!]

Chapter 564: The Heart-Piercing Blade Shatters the Wrath of Heaven! [Two-in-One!]



Boom, boom, boom!

Under the extreme hatred, Sun Wutian roared to the heavens, unleashing the full power of his Heaven-Hating Saber Technique.

The might of the Heaven-Hating Saber Technique, fueled by his intense hatred, reached its pinnacle.

Battling heaven and earth, shattering the firmament!

Yu Haoran, who had been dominating the previous battle, was now completely suppressed by Sun Wutian.

With each swing of his saber, Sun Wutian let out a furious roar.

"I hate!"

"I hate this heaven!"

"I hate this earth!"

"I hate everyone!"

"They all deserve to die!"

"Heaven should die, and so should mankind!"

"Conscience, even more so!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The saber's glow and the blood moon intertwined, forming a chaotic sky. Like thunderbolts and lightning, the attacks rained down on Yu Haoran, each strike heavier than the last.

Yu Haoran fiercely countered, but under the Heaven-Hating Saber, he found himself powerless to retaliate. To his astonishment, he discovered that Sun Wutian's peak strength was rapidly recovering under the influence of his hatred.

Sun Wutian was a master of the same caliber as Duan Xiyang, and although he had been in a coma and fallen behind, once he began to recover, he was still beyond the capabilities of Yu Haoran, the Cloud Peak expert.

The blood-red saber aura flashed like thunder and lightning, relentlessly striking down.

Clang, clang, clang, like the sound of hammering iron.

Yu Haoran exerted all his strength, barely managing to protect himself.

But Sun Wutian's strength continued to grow, and Yu Haoran's situation became increasingly dire.

A long howl echoed through the wind and clouds.

Bu Chou, having recovered, soared into the sky.

"What kind of lame excuses are you making!"

Bu Chou roared in anger, "The Only Righteous Sect killed your entire family, yet you acknowledge the thief as your father and blame the innocent people of the world! And you have the audacity to speak with such conviction! Your family was slaughtered, and you hate heaven and earth, but in your first act of revenge, you mistakenly killed nine million innocent people. Have you atoned for that? If you have the guts, go and kill Zheng Yuandong to avenge your family. The real culprits are still alive, and yet you, at the peak of your martial prowess, turn your wrath towards the unarmed and innocent masses. Sun Wutian, you truly are a despicable person!"

The Wind and Cloud Staff rose, and Bu Chou smashed it mercilessly onto the web of sabers.

He spoke harshly, "Your family's annihilation is indeed tragic, and it's true that the commoners searching for food and valuables in your home violated public order and morality. But do they deserve death? For tens of thousands of years, you have ravaged the mortal realm, leaving a trail of blood and bones wherever you went, massacring over a hundred million people. Did they all steal your family's food?"

"You don't seek out the true culprits who annihilated your family, but instead slaughter innocent mortals for thousands of years, and now you have the audacity to justify your actions? Why don't you consider this: if not for Zheng Yuandong and Yan Nan, would there even be an Only Righteous Sect? And if there was no Only Righteous Sect, would your Sun family have been destroyed?"

"You twist logic and force your own interpretation, failing to avenge your personal grudges yet harboring hatred towards mortals. Sun Wutian, I look down on you!"

Bu Chou roared with all his might, joining forces with Yu Haoran to battle Sun Wutian.

Bu Chou's words were slightly forceful, and he was aware of it, but he had to do this. Because Sun Wutian's words had been heard by everyone below, and some might even resonate with and sympathize with him, as Sun Wutian had portrayed the Sun family's plight as utterly tragic.

If this sentiment were allowed to spread, or worse, if it were to be publicized, it would be disastrous for the Guardians. Moreover, Sun Wutian's Heaven-Hating Saber would only grow stronger and more justified, making him even more formidable to deal with.

Therefore, Bu Chou had to counterattack and interrupt.

Sun Wutian laughed thunderously, paying no heed to Bu Chou's words, not uttering a single word in response.

The blood-red saber flashed like thunder and lightning, as Sun Wutian single-handedly fought against two powerful experts, his battle cry echoing through the sky.

With a loud clang, he forced Bu Chou to retreat, and with another swing, he pushed Yu Haoran back.

His movements were awe-inspiring, his saber danced in the sky, unleashing a storm of blood.

The rising sun in the east seemed to dim and lose its power under the onslaught of his blood-red saber.

Just then, a gust of wind blew from afar.

A long spear appeared, like a giant golden snake tearing through the sky.

The man and his spear descended like a bolt of lightning, smashing into Sun Wutian's web of sabers!

It was the Golden Snake Spear, and Dong Changfeng had arrived.

With a loud clang, the fresh reinforcements brought a surge of power.

Sun Wutian's body trembled, and with a swift counter-slash, Dong Changfeng was struck like a thunderbolt, staggering back with a muffled groan.

"Even a tiny grain of rice can emit its brilliance!"

Sun Wutian coldly snorted.

But even this brief respite allowed Yu Haoran to retreat and regain his composure. The Azure Dragon Saber danced wildly, and the Mad Demon Saber Technique, fueled by endless frustration, suddenly rose into the sky, transforming into a glowing whirlwind of counterattacks.

Dong Changfeng roared, raising the Golden Snake Spear to join Bu Chou in a pincer attack.

"Welcome!"

Sun Wutian laughed wildly, refusing to back down. Alone in the sky, he faced off against three powerful experts, clashing blade against blade.

Boom, boom, boom...

The mountains and rivers below trembled violently.

Everyone's hearts were filled with inexplicable shock.

Zhao Shanhe, An Ruoxing, had a complex expression.

Who would have thought that a mere siege of the Southeast Headquarters against a small sect leader would provoke such an epic battle!

The four experts fought from dawn until the sun was high in the sky.

The tide of hatred surged stronger and stronger.

Just then, a howling wind rose in the sky.

A chilling aura, like a blast from the far north's snowy mountains, enveloped them.

Sun Wutian let out a long howl, "I'm leaving!"

He sheathed his saber and retreated.

Yu Haoran's Azure Dragon Saber performed the Azure Dragon Plunging into Water technique, protecting the three in front of him from Sun Wutian's potential sneak attack during his retreat. Bu Chou and Dong Changfeng also stopped in the air.

There was blood on Bu Chou's mouth.

Dong Changfeng's face was pale, blood flowing from his seven orifices, his body slightly trembling, clearly at his limit. Yet, he forced himself to stand, holding the Golden Snake Spear.

Fresh blood dripped from his spear.

A lingering chill enveloped the azure sky.

A white-robed figure appeared in the distance, suddenly materializing in the air.

His white robe was like snow, and his sword was like frost.

Cold and aloof, he exuded elegance and dignity.

Just by standing in the air, his sword's aura soared into the heavens.

It was none other than the Snow Condensing Sword, Rui Qianshan!

He had finally arrived in time.

……

Snow Condensing Sword stood before Yu Haoran and the others, facing Sun Wutian with his eyebrows raised. "Sun Wutian, we meet again. This is our second meeting in two years."

He spoke calmly, "I almost forgot. You probably don't remember our last encounter. Back then, you were still a zombie, rotting away with your bones rattling. You were carried off with a missing leg... I have that leg here. Do you want it back?"

Blood stained the corners of Sun Wutian's mouth.

After all, his strength had not fully recovered, and he was fighting desperately against three formidable opponents.

Especially Yu Haoran, whose strength was no weaker than Sun Wutian's current state, was also having a hard time.

However, facing Rui Qianshan, Sun Wutian remained arrogant, "Rui Qianshan, taking advantage of others' weakness to bully a stronger opponent, does it feel good?"

"Go to hell!" Snow Condensing Sword cursed without restraint, "Are they unconscious? They're dead! Sun Wutian, how can you be so shameless? And you call yourself strong? Where is your strength? Am I bullying you because you're dead? Did I bully you when you were alive? Who stabbed that sword into your heart? Have you forgotten?"

Sun Wutian couldn't help but place a hand over his chest, and under those words, he seemed to feel the chilling sensation of that sword piercing his heart, like a thunderbolt flashing through his body.

Unable to hold back, Sun Wutian said, "Rui Qianshan, you haven't settled the score for attacking me with a sneak attack when I was outnumbered. Yet, you boast about it as if it were a glorious victory. Do you have any shame?"

Snow Condensing Sword waited for these words and burst into laughter, "Since that's the case, today I'll give you a chance to prove yourself! I'm right here, let's have a one-on-one fight, a battle to the death. If I lose, I'll be the one without face, but if you lose, it'll prove your lack of self-awareness. How about it?"

Sun Wutian was so furious that his lungs felt like they were about to explode.

Snow Condensing Sword's words were shameless to the extreme.

His strength had not fully recovered, and he had just endured an intense battle against three formidable opponents.

Even his current strength was less than half of what it used to be.

And you dare to propose a life-and-death battle at this moment! And you present it so righteously!

"Rui Qianshan, do you have any shame?" Sun Wutian's expression darkened.

"I do," Snow Condensing Sword said, "So I'm giving you a fair chance for a decisive battle."

"How is this fair?" Sun Wutian asked, his face contorted.

"How is this not fair?"

Snow Condensing Sword replied, "Don't make excuses, just tell me, do you dare or not?"

Sun Wutian clenched his fists, "Did I just fight you and go blind?"

"Did I just travel tens of thousands of miles, and you couldn't see?"

Snow Condensing Sword said, "Come on, let them witness the might of a peak demon!"

Below, in the midst of the mountains and valleys, all the guardians cheered, "Ohhhh..."

Sun Wutian was dumbfounded.

He was wild and proud, but not foolish.

Looking up to the sky, he laughed, "Snow Condensing Sword, today I've seen the thickness of your skin. I bid you farewell."

With a turn, he disappeared into the demon fog.

Even though he was so furious that his stomach felt like it would burst, he had to endure this temporary anger. Because if he truly fought Snow Condensing Sword right now, defeat was certain!

With his strength not fully recovered and his energy exhausted, how could he possibly match the well-rested Snow Condensing Sword?

Snow Condensing Sword was a formidable opponent, almost on par with Sun Wutian at his peak. Moreover, Sun Wutian had been in a coma for three thousand years, which meant Snow Condensing Sword had three thousand years of additional experience!

Even with Sun Wutian's arrogance, he was well aware of the gap between them.

As the demon fog swirled, Sun Wutian's voice echoed from a distance, "Snow Condensing Sword, this time I've come with a grand and righteous declaration. You know what happens when you anger me. If I sneak in, how many times can you stop me? Haha..."

His laughter filled the air as his figure disappeared into the demon fog.

The scorching sun seemed to regain its heat at that moment.

In the midst of the mountains and valleys, silence prevailed.

Sun Wutian's final words left everyone chilled, even under the sun's warmth.

This was a blatant threat.

But the weight of this threat was so heavy. How could one guard against a thief for a thousand days? How could one stop a demon like Sun Wutian? Even with a thousand Snow Condensing Swords guarding the southeast, it would be impossible!

A flash of sword light.

Yu Haoran approached Snow Condensing Sword, "Brother Rui."

"Yu Haoran."

Snow Condensing Sword smiled, "How did it feel just now?"

"The old demon is truly terrifying."

Yu Haoran sighed, "With Bu Chou and Changfeng's help, we barely managed a draw."

Snow Condensing Sword laughed, "Originally, his strength hadn't fully recovered, and you were already on par with him. But you brought this trouble upon yourself. Whose fault is this?"

Yu Haoran was surprised, "How so?"

"Sun Wutian's sword technique is the Heaven-Hating Saber, as the name suggests, it's powered by hatred."

Snow Condensing Sword explained, "When you had the upper hand, why did you bring up irrelevant topics? Talking about the past, you're asking for trouble! Why waste words with such a demon? Just strike directly. Why are you reasoning with him? Who taught you this bad habit?"

Yu Haoran blushed, "Was Brother Rui here at that time?"

"I watched as you were at a disadvantage."

Snow Condensing Sword humphed, "Watching you act foolishly! Watching you get into trouble! With your wooden head, you won't learn without some setbacks!"

Yu Haoran was scolded until his head itched, his face filled with black lines, "Please, Brother Rui, guide me."

"You asked that question, and Sun Wutian immediately brought up the past, right?"

"Right."

"But the matter Sun Wutian brought up, is it even related to your question? Is it or isn't it?"

"..." Yu Haoran hesitated.

"So, this was intentional. You gave him the opening, and Sun Wutian immediately used it to talk about his past hatred.

"The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and the more his hatred surged.

"And his Heaven-Hating Saber requires this very emotion of hatred! So, you basically handed over a recovery potion to your opponent!"

Snow Condensing Sword scolded mercilessly, "Do you think Sun Wutian is a chatterbox? Or do you think he's like a gossip-loving woman, longing to pour out his heart? He actually narrated the entire story of the past to you, word for word?"

"He was accumulating his hatred, stirring up his emotions. By the time he finished speaking, his hatred had reached its peak... When he unsheathed his saber, he was almost at his peak cultivation. Who else but you would be at a disadvantage?"

Snow Condensing Sword rolled her eyes, "Moreover, do you also feel that Sun Wutian's words make sense? Do you also think that Sun Wutian's experience was too tragic? Do you also feel that there's some justification for his actions up to this point?"

"..."

Yu Haoran lowered his head, "Yes, I did think that way."

"That's why your demon-suppressing aura weakened."

Snow Condensing Sword explained, "Under such circumstances, how could you not lose? Your mental resolve was shattered by his words. If you continued fighting, even though Sun Wutian's strength hadn't fully recovered, you would have undoubtedly died!"

Yu Haoran suddenly realized the truth, as if a veil had been lifted from his eyes, "Thank you, Brother Rui, for your enlightenment. It was my fault, little brother."

"You bunch of aristocratic disciples... Your brains have all turned to mush!"

Snow Condensing Sword snorted and spoke loudly, "Do you also think that Sun Wutian's words make sense? Do you also believe that Sun Wutian's experiences were too cruel? I am saying this for all of you to hear!"

Her voice echoed through the sky, reaching every mountain and valley below.

No one dared to speak.

Snow Condensing Sword stood in mid-air, quietly taking out a communication jade from her palm. She glanced at it and said calmly, "I didn't want to give a long lecture, but now I have no choice but to stand here and teach all of you a lesson."

"It's true that Sun Wutian's family, as he said, was a kind and wealthy family, the richest in the southeast. They were indeed like a family of living Buddhas. During the years of famine, it was indeed the Sun family who saved millions of people in the southeast from starvation. Everything he said about his family was true."

"However, the Sun family's downfall was not because of Sun Wutian's cultivation or his wandering the jianghu. It was because he refused to join the Guardians or the Only Righteous Sect. As a free-spirited wanderer, he roamed the world."

"During a treasure hunt, he killed members of a sect within the Only Righteous Sect. But he was careless and didn't keep his identity secret. This led to retaliation from the sect."

"At that time, the Guardians had no contact with Sun Wutian. No one knew where he was, so the murderer escaped."

"Up to this point, there are some discrepancies, but the overall story is similar to what he said."

"But after that, things took a different turn."

"The Sun family's property was managed by the Guardians and the local government. The bodies of the Sun family members were placed in the family's ancestral hall, preserved in ice coffins, so that Sun Wutian could see them one last time when he returned. That's why they weren't buried."

"It's not as he said, that they were buried in the wilderness, their corpses rotting in the southeast."

"The Sun family's food supplies were also managed by the Guardians, who distributed them to the people in the southeast. They also prepared resources for the family's survivors, knowing that they wouldn't need food, but would need resources and strength to seek revenge."

"After some time, Sun Wutian returned home and saw the tragic state of his family. He went mad on the spot, his sanity shattered. He ran away in a frenzy and was never seen again!"

"The Guardians had no choice but to seal the Sun family's property and bury all the family members. Since the Sun family estate had been reduced to ruins, there was no need to keep it."

"The Sun family's property remained sealed for a thousand years, waiting for a descendant to claim it."

"Five years after the Sun family's burial, their tomb was robbed. When the Guardians sent people to investigate, they found that the tomb raiders had all died unnatural deaths! It must have been as Sun Wutian said, that the poor man's neck was adorned with items stripped from the Sun family corpses..."

"Sun Wutian did return at that time, but no one knew. It was already five years later!"

"However, Sun Wutian used this as a reason for his hatred, blaming the world. Sun Wutian, I know you're listening in the shadows. Tell me, is there any lie in what I've said?"

Snow Condensing Sword's voice thundered like spring thunder.

The surroundings fell silent.

"The Guardians have been preserving the Sun family's property, and when Sun Wutian appeared after many years, they tried to return it to him. But he refused. Instead, he used this as an excuse to massacre thirteen cities and annihilate nine million people! His actions were insane and despicable, leaving everyone in shock and disgust!"

"The Guardians found Sun Wutian and intended to suppress him. They informed him of their investigation, revealing that the ones who destroyed his family were from the Only Righteous Sect."

"But by then, Sun Wutian had already joined the Only Righteous Sect and learned the Heaven-Hating Saber Technique!"

"Upon hearing this news, Sun Wutian's sanity shattered once more. He went mad and left. He didn't accept the family property."

"Later, we heard that Sun Wutian was slaughtering members of the Only Righteous Sect for revenge... But after that, he remained within the sect, slaughtering innocents and hating the world."

"It was only then that the Sun family's property was taken into the public possession of the Guardians. To this day, all the receipts and evidence from that time are still intact!"

Snow Condensing Sword spoke clearly, recounting the events of the past.

These details were sent to her communication jade by Dongfang Sansan.

Firstly, it was to prevent Sun Wutian from causing chaos among the people.

Additionally, Dongfang Sansan had prepared this speech for two years!

He also told Snow Condensing Sword, "Transmit my voice to Sun Wutian's soul, and let my words shatter the foundation of his saber technique!"

Furthermore, Dongfang Sansan didn't mention that if Duan Xiyang were here, these words could also force him to retreat.

Below, Fang Che listened to this speech, and the more he heard, the more he couldn't help but sigh.

This speech revealed everything.

When I was studying the Hate Heaven Sword Technique, there were words left by Sun Wutian.

Although it wasn't as detailed as what the Snow Condensing Sword said, the general idea was the same!

"In one night, thirteen cities were annihilated, with a population of nine million. Only then did I realize that I had targeted the wrong enemy. The one who killed my family was not the Guardian, but rather, it was my own sect..."

Fang Che sighed in his heart.

Just as expected.

What the Snow Condensing Sword said was correct.

The Snow Condensing Sword glanced at the communication jade again and then stood in the air, using all his spiritual power and soul to shout angrily, "Sun Wutian! Come out!"

"You just said that everyone has wronged your family, so come out! Are there any false words in what I, Rui Qianshan, have said today?"

"You cultivate the Hate Heaven Sword Technique, which requires hatred, but you distort right and wrong, deceive even your own conscience, and cultivate a false hate. How long can this hatred sustain you?"

"A hatred that deceives even yourself, can it truly make you invincible in the world?"

The Snow Condensing Sword's voice thundered, filled with righteousness, "Sun Wutian! I don't believe you've left! I ask you, are there any false words in what I've said?"

"Have you even deceived yourself?"

"Do you think that with the passage of time, the events of the past will truly be forgotten?"

"It's one thing that you cultivate the Hate Heaven Sword Technique, but to use a web of lies to deceive the world! You, demon, what face do you have to make the world unite against you?"

"Sun Wutian, what face do you have to hate the heavens?"

"Sun Wutian, speak!"

"Sun Wutian!"

Each word, like thunder in the sky, shook the heavens and the earth!

The Snow Condensing Sword's perception was never wrong, and indeed, Sun Wutian hadn't gone far!

In a distant place.

Sun Wutian listened to the resounding words without any expression, his face growing more and more unsightly.

Suddenly, he let out a 'wah' and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Then, another 'wah' and another mouthful of blood, five mouthfuls of blood in a row.

In an instant, his face turned ashen.

These words, while not enough to destroy his foundation in the Hate Heaven Sword Technique, eroded more than three-tenths of its foundation! Moreover, it couldn't be recovered. Even if his cultivation recovered to its peak, he would never be able to use the complete peak of the Hate Heaven Sword Technique again!

The foundation was damaged, and the heart of the technique was flawed!

These words were carefully planned and written by Dongfang Sansan, a heart-piercing strike!

Ever since learning of Sun Wutian's resurrection, Dongfang Sansan had been preparing for this day, patiently waiting for this opportunity.

Especially wanting to strike before Sun Wutian fully recovered, to inflict a devastating blow to his mind and spirit, ensuring this demon, no less formidable than Duan Xiyang, would never return to his peak!

Now, the wait was finally over.

Although the Yinshen Palace incident was unexpected, and Sun Wutian's arrival was an unwelcome surprise, Dongfang Sansan, after a brief moment of anxiety, immediately seized this opportunity!"

He studied Sun Wutian to the extreme.

Sun Wutian's cultivation of the Hate Heaven Sword Technique required hatred as its driving force; hatred needed a reason. His entire family's annihilation was his reason. But he twisted right and wrong, lied to himself, and cultivated a false hate. How long could this hatred sustain him?

A hatred that deceived even himself, could it truly make him invincible in the world?

Dongfang Sansan's plan was to destroy the source of Sun Wutian's hatred, to make his hate-filled sword intent self-destruct!

Let the world know that he used lies to weave his hatred, and his hate-filled sword intent would crumble on its own!

Because if he hated the heavens, he couldn't be unreasonable!

This was a paradox, but this paradox perfectly merged with Sun Wutian, and Dongfang Sansan's heart-piercing strike also utilized this paradox!

Specifically targeting Sun Wutian, this heart-piercing strike penetrated his soul and stabbed his heart!

From then on, if you want to see the complete peak of the Hate Heaven Sword Technique, Sun Wutian, you'll have to find a successor!

The Snow Condensing Sword stood in the air, its words precise and sharp, each word and sentence piercing Sun Wutian's weakest points!

Like an arrow piercing an unprotected heart, every word exposed his most shameful secrets, overturned his greatest reliance, and revealed all his despicable intentions to the world!

All his hatred and reasons became a joke!

You said you hated? What do you hate? Besides yourself and the Only Righteous Sect, there's nothing to hate!

With evidence and witnesses, the entire Southeast witnessed your lies!

"Ah! Ah~~"

Sun Wutian groaned in pain.

Blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

His eyes were lifeless, staring into the void.

A sense of bewilderment.

Not far from Sun Wutian, in the void, stood Duan Xiyang, holding a gun, invisible and silent.

Not a word was spoken.

He had wanted to take action, but after hearing Sun Wutian's declaration of hatred and then the Snow Condensing Sword's righteous rebuttal, he changed his mind.

Each sentence had witnesses and evidence!

Every word could refute Sun Wutian, leaving him speechless!

Suddenly, Duan Xiyang didn't want to take action because... he had no face to do so.

Why go out?

To join Sun Wutian in being scolded?

Duan Xiyang didn't have such thick skin.

Sun Wutian was being scolded so badly that he couldn't even refute, so why should I help him fight? With a sigh, Duan Xiyang looked at Sun Wutian with disdain, and with a flicker, he silently disappeared.

From then on, Sun Wutian was no longer an opponent in his heart.

Because he was unworthy!

Thus:

The cold blade of evil tormented the world,

Filling all with fear, none dared to speak;

Eastern schemes sealed his path,

A heart-piercing strike shattered his hate for heaven!
