Chapter 691: I Am Him

"Master, I am loyal to you!"

"I know. You have served me faithfully for many years, even willing to give your life. Since that is the case, what harm is there in making one final sacrifice?"

"You, you!" Amidst his unwillingness, the Elder of Cangjian Villa before his eyes was instantly sacrificed into a husk, and the Jinghong Sword became peerlessly sharp due to Mu Zishan's Sword Intent.

The Sword Qi surged, shooting straight into the clouds, seemingly intent on slicing through the sun and moon and severing the starry sky.

"Truly a good dog!" He nodded with satisfaction and casually grasped the sharp, exposed Jinghong Sword.

When his hand touched the Jinghong Sword, although the sword hummed, it did not resist. The Sword Qi slowly receded, and it was held in his hand as if extremely obedient.

"A good sword, truly a good sword!" He tossed the Jinghong Sword to Shen Yu, completely unconcerned.

Shen Yu subconsciously caught the sword, and immediately, the endless Blood Evil Qi and a portion of Mu Zishan's Sword Intent within the blade surged into his body, gradually merging with the Seed that had been planted inside him earlier.

It was as if they were of the same origin, and at this moment, they were merely fusing once again.

"Take it and kill everyone you see. Holding this sword, you will become stronger and stronger, until you are invincible under heaven!"

"Kill, kill!"

Killing intent condensed in his heart, and Shen Yu felt as if he were gradually sinking into this endless killing intent.

He began to lose control of himself, feeling an urge to raise the sword and kill, as if this were an instinct born with him.

His originally listless eyes revealed a bloody light, and his indifferent expression was like that of a heartless killing machine.

Shen Yu knew very well that he did not know if he would become stronger, but this sword would definitely become increasingly terrifying.

Mu Zishan's Sword Intent, combined with a supreme malevolent sword that had accumulated an unknown amount of Blood Killing Qi, who knew what kind of terrible consequences it would cause.

"Go and kill, kill everyone you see; no one can stop you!"

"Haha, Mu Zishan, I will get out sooner or later; you cannot trap me!"

Looking at Shen Yu's current appearance, the other person suddenly laughed loudly like a madman, and an invisible force rippled out.

At the same time, the surface of the lake suddenly began to churn, and the lake water rose in waves to envelop him. It was as if it had transformed into a cage, pulling him inside bit by bit.

This Luoyue Lake was not the old lair he had managed for so long, but a prison used to confine him.

No wonder he had felt something strange when he stepped into Wangyue Lake earlier; he had almost been killed before he had even done anything.

Anyone standing on Luoyue Lake with hostile intent would be targeted; this was the natural reaction of the terrifying Array laid out across the entire lake.

It would never allow any accidents to occur, nor would it allow the person inside to escape. From this, one could see the wariness the person who set the Array had for this place.

And that the person who set the Array was actually Mu Zishan was something that surprised Shen Yu even more.

But when that person held the sword just now, the Mu Zishan's Sword Intent within the blade did not resist, but instead seemed to be welcoming him. Mu Zishan must have some kind of connection with the person inside.

Watching the other person about to be dragged away, Shen Yu decided to take a gamble. He threw the Mountain and River Map directly out, trapping the Jinghong Sword inside.

Once the Jinghong Sword entered the Mountain and River Map, it was suppressed; the consciousness of the Mountain and River Map, which possessed the Eight-Cornered Prison-Suppressing Tower, was as solid as a fortress, worthy of being called the strongest Jail.

The sudden turn of events caused the expression of the person being slowly dragged into the lake to change, and he subconsciously reached out to grab the Jinghong Sword.

The power on his body surged violently; he used almost all his strength to shake off all the lake water surrounding him, and then frantically rushed into the Mountain and River Map.

He wanted to retrieve the Jinghong Sword; that was his only possibility of escaping.

As a result, he was completely enveloped inside the Mountain and River Map.

The moment he disappeared, the endless water of the entire lake surged upward, and the terrifying power caused the wind and clouds between heaven and earth to change, as if the end of the World had arrived.

The trapped person's aura vanished, the Array of Luoyue Lake was completely activated, and the endless lake water lashed out in all directions, the terrifying Sword Intent contained within seemingly intent on tearing everything apart.

The lake water condensed in the sky and fell as a torrential rain, and every drop of rain seemed to contain a certain power, as if searching for the aura of the trapped person.

As soon as the other person appeared, these raindrops would gather together to seal him back inside the lake.

Only at this very moment did Shen Yu clearly feel the power of the entire Array.

This was a perfect cycle; its range of control was not limited to Luoyue Lake, for wherever the water from the lake fell, the Array was present.

Mu Zishan was truly a heaven-sent genius; this Array was arranged in a way unheard of, perfectly combining the terrain with the timing of heaven.

But what kind of person could make Mu Zishan use such a terrifying Array to seal them?

"I've escaped?"

Inside the Mountain and River Map, the other person suddenly discovered with surprise that the power of the Array that had always sealed him had been severed, and he looked around with some delight.

For a moment, he did not even know whether to be happy or worried, seemingly unable to believe that the pursuit he had held for so long had come so easily.

Looking at the Jinghong Sword floating in mid-air, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he subconsciously reached out to grab it.

This sword could not only bring him power, but he would also use this sword to attract the arrival of a certain person; this bone-deep hatred was also time to be settled.

But the next moment, the sword was grasped in the hand of a young man—the very person who had just had the Seed planted in him.

Now, no matter how slow his reaction was, he realized it instantly. This was no scholar near despair; this was clearly an expert among experts.

He had actually been schemed against by such a young man, and his already gloomy heart became even worse.

"Who are you? Why were you locked up here?" Before he could speak, the young man opposite had already spoken first.

"Kid, remember this clearly: my name is Mu Zishan. You should have heard of this name. Also, thank you for helping me escape; now I will use your blood to celebrate my freedom!"

With a cold laugh, the other person reached out, wanting to grasp the Jinghong Sword. By rights, as soon as he reached out, the Jinghong Sword should have flown over on its own.

But at this moment, he discovered that the Jinghong Sword was not under his control at all, and even the connection between the Mu Zishan's Sword Intent inside and him seemed to have been severed.

This young man has some skill!

"Mu Zishan?" Shen Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and almost cursed out loud. Who are you trying to fool? Has being suppressed for so many years pressed your brain into nothingness?

Even if you are making it up, you should keep up with current events and know the situation outside.

Everyone knows Mu Zishan was in the Forbidden Land in his early years and only disappeared recently after the Spirit Qi eruption. How many years have you been trapped here? If you are Mu Zishan, then who is the one suppressing the Forbidden Land?

"The world knows that Mu Zishan has suppressed the Forbidden Land for over a hundred years; how could he be suppressed in this tiny lake? Speak, who exactly are you?"

"I already said, I am Mu Zishan. I am him; we were originally one!" He shook his head, and a terrifying Sword Intent that seemed ready to sweep away everything emerged from his body.

That familiar power left Shen Yu stunned; how could this Sword Intent be so similar to Mu Zishan's Sword Intent?

"Everyone knows that Mu Zishan is a great hero, but little do they know that back then, he also went mad, killing incessantly and falling into insanity."

"You know even less that, back then, in order to achieve complete transcendence, Mu Zishan personally severed all of his own negative spirit. From then on, he became noble, became selfless, and became an unparalleled hero admired by all!"

"And I could only be sealed by him in this endless darkness, day after day, year after year; do you know how I have spent these years?"

"We were originally one, we should have shared in the prosperity!"

"He thought that sealing me here was foolproof, but he was wrong; he is also human, and even a wise man will have a lapse in judgment!"

"Doesn't he want to protect this World? Then I will destroy it, destroy this World!"
