Chapter 12: Heartfire Envelops the Sword of Spring
Hearing the voice of the person outside the shop, the old man behind the counter who was originally bending over to hand Chu Weiyang the elixir suddenly paused, then stood up straight and calmly looked at Chu Weiyang.
"No matter how prestigious the Dan Sect is, this is still in the River Source Region. Don't expect me to protect your life just because you buy three pots of elixir here. Of course, as long as you are in my shop, I will have something to say to the people outside. But if you finish buying the elixir..."
As the old man spoke, he shook his head, his meaning already very clear.
Meanwhile, the voice of the person outside the door continued without stopping, becoming sharper and more sarcastic.
However, as the tone suddenly escalated, the previously sinister momentum dissipated, becoming noisy instead.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that your senior from the Sword Sect went to the old mother in Tingchang Mountain, and had someone beaten up and came out looking miserable..."
"Be a good boy, in this season, don't wander around with a sword everywhere. Even if you have a kind heart, you can't bear to see people losing their lives..."
"Speaking of which, does your Sword Sect have any special skills? It's really a rare stubbornness. Do you have some to show me, broaden my horizons!"
The more this person babbled, the more Chu Weiyang's mind suddenly relaxed.
At first, judging directly from Chu Weiyang's posture, the young man thought he had encountered a tough opponent in a Sword Sect cultivator.
But with the following words, he inadvertently broke his own momentum and power, allowing Chu Weiyang to see through the person's true intentions.
He was just a second-rate scoundrel mingling inside and outside the market, perhaps instigated by someone to say some true or false words, his mind heated up, feeling that wealth could move people's hearts.
Thus, he was used as a pawn by someone, lacking a sense of proportion, which broke his power and left only noise in Chu Weiyang's ears.
The person who truly saw through some of Chu Weiyang's intentions was probably still lurking in some corner, watching coldly.
Understanding these, ignoring and not responding was the best choice.
As long as he didn't make a move, no one would know whether the sword was sharp or not.
The cultivators and demonic cultivators who truly mingled in the market were people who had soaked calmness and slickness into their bones.
They hesitated and wouldn't rashly attack an unknown sword cultivator.
However, when a stranger who had never been known before mentioned "Sha Jiang".
Especially in the River Source Region, outside the Rejuvenation Pavilion, in a place unrelated to the Demon Sealing Cave, when someone mentioned "Sha Jiang".
Suddenly, as if thunder exploded in Chu Weiyang's heart, then along the meridians, it struck straight into the dantian.
And following this invisible thunder was the Vermilion Palace Heartfire, piercing through from top to bottom!
The raging anger pierced through the sky!
The uncomfortable feeling of being followed like a shadow, like a maggot on bones, tormented Chu Weiyang's mind, almost driving him crazy!
Just a sentence, and the young man seemed to still be in that dark and eerie stone cave, as if he had never left.
But he clearly had already left the mountains, already tried to integrate into this vast world.
Everything seemed to have been completely ruined by this person's words!
In the depths of his mind, the voice of Manager Ma's mockery resounded.
"Do you think you've escaped from the Demon Sealing Cave?"
"No! From now on, your place of standing, your body, is your own Demon Sealing Cave!"
In an instant, thinking of this, the raging flames could no longer be restrained!
Nor did they need to be restrained!
In the previous moment, Chu Weiyang stood firmly there, as tall and straight as a pine tree.
But in the next moment, Chu Weiyang twisted his foot, turned his body, stepped with the Yu Step, and spun towards the door!
One step forward, one step back, one yin, one yang, the beginning and the end synchronized, feet placed horizontally and straight, mutually supporting like the character "丁", resembling the meeting of yin and yang.
In this turning and moving, the essence of body movement reached its peak!
And as Chu Weiyang took the first step, the young man's hand had already gripped the sword hilt.
By the time he stood at the door, the sharp sword had already been unsheathed!
In an instant, as the sword danced in his hand, enveloped in flowing light, every moment of killing beasts along the way flowed through Chu Weiyang's mind.
The thirty-six forms of the "Springtime Sword," each sword move almost shining in the same moment in his mind!
In a daze, Chu Weiyang felt a strange sensation.
He suddenly understood the feeling Manager Ma had mentioned.
But it was not exactly the same as what Manager Ma had said.
When the true comprehension of the "Springtime Sword" resonated with his heart, reaching a moment of internal and external connection, suddenly, the raging flames in the Vermilion Palace Heart Chamber seemed to envelop something on their own!
It was not the usual warmth when consuming food.
Instead, it was a subtle, ethereal, and gentle flow.
Subconsciously, Chu Weiyang activated the "Five Organs Qi Nourishing Technique."
Having mastered the technique, almost in an instant, the heartfire, enveloped in that intangible substance, circulated through the five organs' meridians.
In the end, nothing truly entered the organs during this circulation, not a single bit dispersed from the heartfire into the organs.
But when the heartfire returned to its place, accompanied by the technique's operation, something clearly seemed to have entered the clear flow from the heartfire.
That was anger, the boundless anger nurtured by Chu Weiyang from the Demon Sealing Cave!
That was the thunder that pierced through from top to bottom! That was the flames raging along the thunderbolt! That was the echo of the Springtime's voice and calamity!
The heartfire returned to the Vermilion Palace, and the flowing light mixed with thunder and fire descended towards the dantian.
Without entering a deep meditative state, without forgetting oneself, Chu Weiyang had already grasped the first strand of sword intent.
Related to the Springtime, but originating from anger.
This was something that even Manager Ma could not explain clearly.
After all, in this world, perhaps only Chu Weiyang, who cultivated both the "Five Organs Qi Nourishing Technique" and the "Springtime Sword," and encountered such circumstances, was unique.
When Chu Weiyang looked directly outside the door.
When their eyes met in the void.
The fleeting thunder and fire in the deep pupils seemed to be conveying some invisible momentum, some supreme authority, almost instantly, pressing into the person's mind, leaving him stunned in place, with no response between life and death!
In the next moment, Chu Weiyang's almost murmuring voice sounded.
"Jing—Zhe—"
This was the name of the sword intent Chu Weiyang derived from the "Springtime Sword"!
It was the anger of one of the four seasons!
It was the thunderstorm above the nine heavens!
It was the wild fire boiling the boundless earth!
Before the arrival of the Jing Zhe, the thunder roared first, and the heavy rain and fierce wind were like a dragon!
The sword edge pierced out.
The strand of sword intent hung above the Qi Sea and dantian, as if the great sun illuminated the vast ocean.
In the next moment, the sword energy moved, the boundless demonic energy swept away, rustling around Chu Weiyang's robe, stirring up the wind and sand, as if piercing through the deep winter cold!
With this sword strike, there was no reason for survival.
The long sword entered from the eye socket, passed through the back of the head, cleanly and decisively ending the person's life, as he had requested, opening his eyes as well.
Many books are now hard to find, so cherish them while you can.
