Chapter 287: Eat Shit!
When LĆ¼ Yang regained his senses, Suo Huan had already been pierced by the ćCalamity Waveć, and the mystical power of the ćYuan Tuć on the sword was rapidly activating.
Those killed by this sword would have all their karmic ties severed!
Originally, Suo Huan was entangled in multiple karmic connections, with various True Persons aiding him in seeking the golden nature, expecting to divide the benefits afterward.
The blessed land would return to the Pure Land.
The golden nature would return to the Dao Court.
The fruit position would return to the Saint Sect.
Moreover, the current Clear Snow True Person was using this karmic tie to transfer a portion of the backlash from the ćNetherworldć onto Suo Huan.
However, now that Suo Huan was dead, under the mystical power of the ćYuan Tuć, the karmic ties were shattered, and Suo Huan's remaining blessed land and golden nature became ownerless, making it impossible for Clear Snow True Person to transfer the backlash, forcing her to endure it herself, resulting in losing the benefits and gaining additional costs!
This was ćAng Xiaoć's trump card.
Why did he help LĆ¼ Yang refine the ćCalamity Waveć? Besides leveraging LĆ¼ Yang's predicament to create a ritual and attract the attention of the ćOverturning Lamp Fireć.
More importantly, it was for the mystical power of the ćYuan Tuć!
He used Suo Huan's hand to refine this spiritual sword, intending to use this karmic-severing mystical power at the critical moment to set up this situation!
"Do you want to continue fighting me, or go seize the blessed land and golden nature?"
ćAng Xiaoć laughed loudly, but before he finished speaking, most of the True Persons had already withdrawn and reached for the ćSpiritual Ruins Blessed Landć and Suo Huan's golden nature.
The Pure Land and Dao Court immediately chose to abandon targeting Ang Xiao, as the ćSpiritual Ruins Blessed Landć and Suo Huan's golden nature were originally designated for them, and if taken by others, they would suffer a total loss. As for suppressing ćAng Xiaoć, that was a long-term interest.
Long-term interests meant they could be postponed.
But the ćSpiritual Ruins Blessed Landć and Suo Huan's golden nature were short-term interests, and once missed, they would be gone, so how could they be easily abandoned?
Moreover, wasn't ćAng Xiaoć already injured?
That should be enough; it's not like they could kill ćAng Xiaoć, so why offend him to death? Comparatively, it's more practical to gain more benefits.
"Indeed... I still have to rely on myself!"
Above the sky, Clear Snow True Person sneered coldly upon seeing this but showed no intention of stopping, instead attacking ćAng Xiaoć even more frantically!
Seeing this, ćAng Xiaoć's expression changed: "Shrew! Madwoman!"
He never expected that after seeing the other True Persons withdraw, Clear Snow True Person, knowing her realm was lower than his, would still entangle with him!
It should be noted that the reason Clear Snow True Person could trap him and severely injure him this time was partly because he was still enduring the backlash from the ćNetherworldć, and partly because various True Persons joined forces. But now, only this madwoman remained; how could she fight him?
Didn't she understand the cost-benefit analysis?
Didn't she see that even other Saint Sect True Persons had withdrawn?
However, since Clear Snow True Person acted this way, ćAng Xiaoć had no choice but to also frantically channel his power and continue to stalemate with her.
But after all, ćAng Xiaoć's cultivation was higher.
Therefore, in the tug-of-war between the two, he eventually gained the upper hand, and the ćOverturning Lamp Fireć continued to fall step by step, flying toward the gate of the ćNetherworldć.
However, he also paid a price.
Below, the Dao Sin of Chong Guang, refined into a clone by ćAng Xiaoć, had already begun to burn, and even the fruit position treasure ćLife Exchange Talisman Bookć was fully sacrificed by him, meaning that if he didn't obtain the ćOverturning Lamp Fireć after this battle, there would be no second chance.
Because over the years, only Chong Guang had confirmed the ćOverturning Lamp Fireć.
Without his Dao Sin as a medium, the ćOverturning Lamp Fireć would no longer cast its gaze, and trying to pull it into the Netherworld again would be several times more difficult.
At least until the arrival of the millennium great tribulation, it would be impossible.
'Only victory is allowed, no defeat!'
ćAng Xiaoć's gaze was cold; he had already placed all his chips on the table, and although Clear Snow True Person was still obstructing, it was to no avail.
Meanwhile.
'Beast...'
LĆ¼ Yang held the ćCalamity Waveć with an ugly expression, and what made him more aggrieved was that even this curse he only dared to mutter in his heart, not aloud.
'The ćCalamity Waveć has a problem; after all, it's related to a True Person, so how could there be no hidden tricks? There might even be more than one. Unless I use the ćBook of a Hundred Lifetimesć to cleanse it, I don't dare to use it again. Who knows if it will kill me with one strike?'
This was even unrelated to the sword spirit's will of the ćCalamity Waveć itself.
ćAng Xiaoć's hidden tricks had completely exceeded the limits of this semi-true treasure, and even if the sword spirit was unwilling, it couldn't resist his manipulation.
Thinking of this, LĆ¼ Yang couldn't help but look up.
At this moment, Suo Huan was already dead, his soul scattered, and the blessed land and golden nature were being divided and snatched by various True Persons, so no one paid attention to this small figure.
Yes, a small figure.
That was Suo Huan's last words before his death, and that sigh still echoed in LĆ¼ Yang's ears: "We small figures can only go with the flow."
"If we choose correctly, we might rise with the tide."
"If we choose wrongly, we'll be buried at the bottom of the sea."
"Fellow Daoist, take my advice and give up. You can't fight those big figures in the sky. It's good enough to escape death this time and live a peaceful life."
"Foundation Establishment completion, five lifetimes of lifespan, over a thousand years of time isn't bad."
"Don't make the same mistake as me..."
When he left this last sentence, Suo Huan's tone was very calm.
Was he relieved? LĆ¼ Yang didn't think so; he felt it was numbness, despair, the bitter sea was hard to cross, and he thought seeking the golden nature was just aiming too high.
However, after a moment of silence, LĆ¼ Yang laughed.
The bitter sea was hard to cross? Heaven's will was hard to defy?
'Suo Huan, fellow Daoist, in the next life, I'll help you cross!'
The next second, LĆ¼ Yang looked at the still-fighting ćAng Xiaoć and Clear Snow True Person, turned his sword horizontally, and placed it on his neck.
"Hmm!?"
Almost simultaneously, ćAng Xiaoć sensed something and suddenly turned to look at LĆ¼ Yang.
His ritual to attract the ćOverturning Lamp Fireć was based on "helping LĆ¼ Yang reverse a certain death situation," with many karmic ties on LĆ¼ Yang.
Howeverā
'What if I die?'
At this moment, LĆ¼ Yang's mind was clear. If he died, it would mean the "reversal failed," the ritual would collapse, and the ćOverturning Lamp Fireć would naturally hide again!
This was undoubtedly something ćAng Xiaoć didn't want to see. He had already paid so much; how could he fail at the last moment?
Therefore, soon, a voice floated over:
"Young friend, what do you want?"
ćAng Xiaoć's tone remained calm, thinking LĆ¼ Yang had just seen the situation clearly and was raising his price, so he straightforwardly got to the point.
"I want Suo Huan's golden nature, the amount doesn't matter."
LĆ¼ Yang was equally calm, replying indifferently.
"Okay!"
ćAng Xiaoć didn't bargain, nodded directly, and while suppressing Clear Snow True Person, he diverted his attention to snatch a trace of golden nature.
Because he wanted very little, the True Persons gave him this face, and after doing all this, ćAng Xiaoć no longer paid attention to LĆ¼ Yang, directly withdrawing his gaze. In his view, LĆ¼ Yang couldn't possibly commit suicide; he was just taking advantage of the situation, and since he was satisfied, LĆ¼ Yang would naturally be sensible.
He even admired LĆ¼ Yang's opportunistic behavior.
'He has means, cunning, and courageāa talent, useful in the future.'
ćAng Xiaoć thought, pondering how to use LĆ¼ Yang as a pawn in the future, after all, strictly speaking, this time he saved LĆ¼ Yang's life.
What was a trace of golden nature? It could be made up later.
The life-saving karma, he would make LĆ¼ Yang repay it for a lifetime!
However, the next second.
"Poof!"
Just as he withdrew his gaze, ćAng Xiaoć's expression stiffened, and the calm expression he had maintained finally showed a rare look of shock and anger.
Turning back, he saw LĆ¼ Yang grinning coldly at him.
Suo Huan's trace of golden nature had long been collected by him, and the ćCalamity Waveć directly cut his neck, severing the karmic ties on him!
"Boom!"
Almost simultaneously, the ćOverturning Lamp Fireć, which had been falling, immediately lost its light, re-hidden, and directly escaped ćAng Xiaoć's grasp!
"Courting death!!!"
For the first time, ćAng Xiaoć's voice carried intense anger, exploding in the world, with terrifying pressure that even made True Persons tremble.
However, LĆ¼ Yang was not afraid at all. He raised his head proudly and gave the sky a middle finger.
Want the ćOverturning Lamp Fireć?
Want the ćLong Flowing Waterć?
Want to become the Dao Lord?
"Eat shit!"
This time, LĆ¼ Yang didn't hide it at all, nor did he mutter in his heart, but directly cursed aloud, and then, with a loud bang, he resolutely self-destructed!
"Book of a Hundred Lifetimes!"
