Chapter 748: Finale 230: One Sword Buries Life and Death!

In the next instant, Yang Xuan swung his sword, directly reducing the great prison that once held Yang Ling'er to ruins.

Behind him, rocks shattered and dust flew.

Yang Xuan, with Yang Ling'er, fought his way all the way to Tang Jiu.

Along the way, countless elders and disciples of the Azure Sword Sect were killed or wounded!

Now, Yang Xuan feels only endless hatred toward the Azure Sword Sect.

Before leaving the Azure Sword Sect, he was at the Six-Star God Sovereign Realm, the highest cultivator in the sect!

Even the sect master, Hua Jieyu, was beneath him.

At that time, the Azure Sword Sect had only three stars.

He toiled outside, constantly entering and exiting secret realms, risking life and death to obtain vast cultivation resources, most of which he gave to Hua Jieyu, Chu Youwei, and his sister.

At that time, his heart held only the sect.

He could burn everything for the Azure Sword Sect!

Even the invitation from the Sword Qi Great Wall, he refused.

That was no ordinary recruitment; a powerful figure had taken notice of him.

He went to the God-Burying Abyss without hesitation!

Ten thousand years is too long, yet he remained seated in the God-Burying Abyss, burning everything away.

He never expected the reward to be betrayal!

He feels he has let his sister down!

Thinking of these, Yang Xuan's killing intent grew ever more immense.

They all must die!

Yang Xuan fought his way all the way to Tang Jiu.

At that moment, Tang Jiu was nailed to Spirit Peak, glaring at Yang Xuan with a ferocious face, he snarled.

"You devil..."

Before he could finish, Yang Xuan thrust his sword into Tang Jiu's abdomen.

"Sss—"

His abdomen kept bleeding, and he cried out in anguish.

"Yang Xuan, you will die a horrible death!"

Yang Ling'er looked at Tang Jiu with resentment, "Brother, it's him—he did nothing, yet he reaps rewards in the Azure Sword Sect; not only does Hua Jieyu like him, but Chu Youwei does too. He has taken everything that should have been yours!"

"Brother, I don't understand—why do you risk your life outside, gathering stellar fortune for the Azure Sword Sect, yet they treat you this way? Instead, they favor Tang Jiu, an ordinary-talented disciple!"

Yang Xuan said, "Because some people are just base!"

"Sss—"

Another sword thrust into Tang Jiu's body!

Tang Jiu wailed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Yang Xuan, you will die a horrible death!"

"Ahhh—"

"If you have the guts, kill me!"

"My master has already gone to the Sword Qi Great Wall; she has powerful sword cultivators behind her—you and Lu Xuan will die when the time comes!"

Hearing that, Lu Xuan scoffed, "A mere Sword Qi Great Wall is not worth mentioning."

A fragment of memory flashed in his mind.

He vaguely recalled that when he once gave a lecture, a powerful sword cultivator named A Liang had an insight, proposing to split heaven and earth with sword qi to seal away strange forces—that was the prototype of the Sword Qi Great Wall.

After endless ages, I wonder how A Liang is now.

Yang Xuan stared fixedly at Tang Jiu, sneering, "You know nothing of my master's power!"

Tang Jiu immediately goaded, "If you have the guts, let Lu Xuan go to the Sword Qi Great Wall right now! My master and Senior Sister are there—if you dare, go find them!"

"The goading tactic!"

"He's using a borrowed knife to kill!"

Tang Jiu knew he couldn't survive today.

But if he could have the sword cultivator expert of the Sword Qi Great Wall kill Lu Xuan and the others, his death would not be in vain.

Yet Yang Xuan said, "My master needs only a slap to smash whatever lousy sword cultivator you speak of!"

That sword cultivator is mixed up with Hua Jieyu—he seems no good either!

Such a degenerate sword cultivator is not worth mentioning before my master!

However, he wants to personally kill Hua Jieyu and Chu Youwei—only then can he quell the hatred in his heart.

Thinking of this,

Yang Xuan thrust his sword into Tang Jiu's body, "I grant you endless pain and death!"

The terrifying Stellar Sword Dao power surged, slicing Tang Jiu's inner world inch by inch!

This is comparable to the pain his sister felt back then!

He wants Tang Jiu to taste it fully.

"Ahhh—"

Tang Jiu began to wail miserably.

After a moment.

Yang Xuan suddenly burst into loud coughing, "Cough cough cough—"

Within him, the Stellar Sword Dao power of the Iron Star Dome began to dissipate, his Dao foundation turned black, Yang Xuan's visage even grew aged like a withered old man; even his gait became unsteady.

It felt as if all strength had left his body!

Yang Ling'er suddenly burst into tears, "Brother, brother, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a gentle force brought Yang Xuan and Yang Ling'er over.

He knew this was the aftereffect of Yang Xuan forcefully activating the power of the Starry Sky Sword Dao.

It's like someone who took a lot of Wei Ge—sure, they become mighty for a while, but then they become weak.

"Venerable Lord Lu, please save my brother."

Yang Ling'er knelt down directly.

Lu Xuan gave a faint smile, "How could there be any reason for a master not to save his disciple?"

He sent out a palm, and a gentle medical Dao power surged into Yang Xuan's body.

Then he asked the System, "If not now, when will the disciple recruitment reward be released?"

The System said, "Here it comes, here it comes."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the task of taking Yang Xuan as your eighth disciple; rewards are now being issued!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a large amount of cultivation foundation!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a One-Star Sovereign Tier Spirit Sword, the Clear Mystery Sword!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Supreme Heavy Reforging Dao Foundation Method, Obsession Foundation Establishment (Painless)!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Supreme Sword Technique, One Sword Buries Life and Death!"

The sound fell!

Boom!

A stream of incredibly pure spiritual energy surged into Lu Xuan's body, impacting his limbs and bones like a great river.

A tingling, numb sensation came.

Soon, he directly broke through to the early stage of the Three-Star God Sovereign Realm.

Next, Lu Xuan looked at that Clear Mystery Sword in the System space.

Hmm… that name feels very familiar…

On this spirit sword, a trace of primordial sword qi's sword resonance surged, incredibly chilling; if all seals were released, it could likely annihilate the entire Azure Sword Sect in one strike!

"It's actually quite suitable for Yang Xuan." Lu Xuan muttered.

He then looked at the ancient azure jade slip in the System space, "Supreme Heavy Reforging Dao Foundation Method?"

With a thought, Lu Xuan saw the content of the Spiritual Secret.

"As a sword cultivator, obsession is the blade, obsession is the edge… using obsession as the Dao foundation, forge a supreme Dao foundation…"

Lu Xuan nodded, "It also suits Yang Xuan. His obsession is very strong! And it will only grow stronger!"

The System reminded, "Painless, oh."

Lu Xuan: "……"

The eighth disciple's fate has been tumultuous—burning himself for ten thousand years in the God-Burying Abyss, then returning to the Azure Sword Sect only to suffer such calamity; it's time he enjoyed some good fortune.

It can be considered first bitter, then sweet!

Then, Lu Xuan looked at the sword technique in the System space and became dazed.

"One Sword Buries Life and Death?"

Wait a moment.

It seems I've seen this somewhere before.

My head feels itchy.

He seemed to have seen… "One Sword Decides Life and Death" and "One Sword Severes Life and Death" in a storybook?

With a thought, Lu Xuan began to examine the content of the sword technique.

"I have one sword, life and death I regard lightly…"

"One sword strike, burying the enemy's life and death!"

"One sword strike, burying heaven, earth, and all beings!"
