Chapter 533: The Last Stubbornness

Seeing Su Luoxing burst into tears, everyone present had strange expressions, and Qi Xiong couldn't help but blush.

What must one be forced into to utter such heart‑wrenching words?

And that wasn't the end; seeing Qi Xiong's silence, Su Luoxing continued to roar.

"And there's also when you were ten—you tricked me into practicing that Indestructible Vajra Body; dare you say where it came from?"

"Indestructible Vajra Body?"

Hearing that, Hong Zun and the others looked puzzled—does Dongzhou even have such a technique? I've never heard of it.

Besides, just hearing the name sounds formidable—why is Su Luoxing so filled with righteous indignation?

"Speak up—why aren't you talking? What's the deal with that Indestructible Vajra Body manual?"

Looking at the silent Qi Xiong, Su Luoxing demanded angrily.

Qi Xiong replied with a complex expression.

"I… I picked it up behind the mountain."

Huh???

As soon as he said that, everyone present was stunned—you actually picked up a cultivation manual behind the mountain?

Hearing that, Su Luoxing grew even more furious.

"So you gave it to me to cultivate?"

"I just wanted you to try it first."

"Qi Xiong, you're inhuman—do you know I was only ten back then? Do you know that so‑called Indestructible Vajra Body is actually a demonic art?"

"Do you know that because of this, I almost got slapped to death by my master?"

"I didn't know that either."

Qi Xiong said weakly, he really hadn't thought that far—back then he just didn't know what kind of technique it was, didn't dare to cultivate it himself, so he first gave it to Su Luoxing to test.

For this he even gave it a name he thought sounded mighty and overbearing, and Su Luoxing, without suspicion, went ahead and cultivated it.

But halfway through practice he discovered it was actually a demonic art; by the time he realized, it was too late—demonic energy had already appeared in his body.

Listening to their exchange, Hong Zun, Yang Xian, and the other sect elders looked at Qi Xiong with complex expressions.

This guy may have thick brows and big eyes, but he certainly doesn't look like a good person now.

"And when we were fifteen, on our first outside trial I was chased by hundreds of demonic beasts—where were you?"

Facing Su Luoxing's accusation this time, Qi Xiong immediately retorted.

"This time I actually saved you—without me, you'd have been eaten by those beasts."

That's true—back then, when they first went out alone for training and passed a demonic beast tribe, Su Luoxing was pursued by the beasts.

At the critical moment, it was indeed Qi Xiong who acted, thereby saving Su Luoxing.

Logically, this time Qi Xiong owes him a life‑saving debt; Su Luoxing shouldn't blame him—he should be grateful instead.

But the next second, upon hearing Qi Xiong's words, Su Luoxing roared directly.

"You saved me? You claim you saved me?"

"Isn't that so? Su Luoxing, we ought to speak with conscience."

Qi Xiong this time spoke with full confidence, yet Su Luoxing merely snorted in derision.

"Conscience? Do you, Qi Xiong, even have any of that from childhood to now?"

"Sect Master Su, you're going too far—our senior brother, no matter what, saved your life."

Seeing Su Luoxing's aggressive demeanor, Wu Shou couldn't help but speak up.

I won't mention the past, but this time Qi Xiong did nothing wrong.

But upon hearing that, Su Luoxing immediately shouted angrily.

"Those demonic beasts were lured here by him—he's the one who dragged the blame onto me."

forehead...............

I had wanted to say a couple words in defense of Qi Xiong, but as soon as that came out, Wu Shou froze.

Afterward he gave Qi Xiong a complex look and said nothing more.

"I… I didn't do it on purpose, and besides, I did go back to save you in the end."

"Fine, then what about the Heavenly Demon Sect incident?"

"What's up with the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

"I was on a mission in the Heavenly Demon Sect—what about you?"

"I went on a mission too."

"Then why did you sell me out?"

Once, Qi Xiong and Su Luoxing both received a sect assignment to investigate the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The two headed to the Heavenly Demon Sect's turf unaware of each other; things were fine at first, but then, out of the blue, Su Luoxing was discovered by the Heavenly Demon Sect—that was the closest he'd ever come to death.

Only later did he learn that it was that bastard Qi Xiong who caused a commotion in the Heavenly Demon Sect, then hid himself, leading the sect to think it was Su Luoxing's doing and thus relentlessly pursue him.

In the end, Qi Xiong completed the mission with ease, returned to the sect, and even remarked that the Heavenly Demon Sect was nothing special.

But Su Luoxing—it was practically a near‑death experience; the Heavenly Demon Sect chased him across most of Dongzhou, and he barely made it back to the sect, dragging his half‑ruined body.

"I didn't know you were also in the Heavenly Demon Sect."

「you.............. 」

This matter truly wrongs Qi Xiong—he only wanted to finish the task, unaware that Su Luoxing was there too.

As for why the Heavenly Demon Sect never found him but kept hunting Su Luoxing, he has no idea.

Seeing Qi Xiong's helpless expression, Su Luoxing gritted his teeth in rage; the two went back and forth in the main hall, mainly as Su Luoxing unleashed all the humiliation he'd suffered in his life.

As he spoke, even Hong Zun and Wu Shou felt sympathy, and their gaze toward Su Luoxing shifted.

Ah, this person really isn't easy, especially Su Luoxing's life.

Don't look at how glamorous it seems on the surface; in private, this guy has also endured too much.

I don't even know how many lonely nights Su Luoxing spent quietly licking his wounds all over his body.

Finally, Qi Xiong didn't speak.

"What, you have nothing to say? Do you know how I've lived my life?"

Looking at Su Luoxing, half-naked, his body covered in scars, Qi Xiong opened his mouth and finally said quietly.

"That Su brother, many things I truly didn't do on purpose, but I'm still sorry for you."

"Don't call me Su brother; I, Su Luoxing, am not worthy of you. I just want to ask: do I still have to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath now?"

「this............... 」

The Heavenly Dao Oath is Su Luoxing's last stubbornness; having walked this path with Qi Xiong all his life, Su Luoxing has already endured too much.

Now that he has taken refuge in the Dao Yi Sect, why must he still swear a Heavenly Dao Oath himself? Isn't Su Luoxing worthy of Qi Xiong's trust?

As for this, Qi Xiong also felt embarrassed; after a long silence, Qi Xiong helplessly said.

"If we don't swear, then we don't swear; how about handing over a drop of heart's essence blood instead?"

"What are you saying? Qi Xiong, are you still human? You want my heart's essence blood? You still want my heart's essence blood?"

Looking at the angry, jumping Su Luoxing, Qi Xiong said with a helpless expression.

"Don't get excited; I was just saying it casually—what are you doing?"

"What are you saying I'm doing? I've known you since I was seven; countless times I've almost died at your hands, and now you're still asking for my heart's essence blood? Qi Xiong, you're simply not human."

"Okay, okay, don't, don't—speak properly; let's discuss it again."

Qi Xiong really is a bit afraid of Su Luoxing like this; someone with such great resentment can be compared to a Ghost Emperor of Yin Calendar Mountain.
