105: Destroy the sword, extinguish the obsession with killing!

Lu Yu roared in his heart, circulating the "Haoyang True Fire Art" with all his might. The power of the Nine Yang Haori Body's Origin erupted, turning into majestic Yang spiritual energy that surged into his arms.

At the same time, he took all his insights into the Sword Dao—from his initial shallow swordsmanship to his comprehension of the Blazing Sun Sword Intent, then to the vast Sword Qi that surged after refining the Storm Passage, and finally the core of the supreme-level Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent!

Without reservation, he frantically poured it all into the two immortal swords!

He wanted to use himself as a bridge and the Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent as a mediator to forcibly fuse the power of the two immortal swords with all his own foundations, transforming it into a supreme strike!

This process was painful to the extreme.

The power levels of the two immortal swords were too high; his spiritual energy, Sword Qi, and Sword Intent were like streams trying to push the ocean before them.

Every forced Fusion felt like transporting lava through fragile glass pipes. A tearing, agonizing pain came from his Meridians, and the Nascent Soul figure in his Dantian trembled, its light dimming.

Fine cracks began to surface on his body, a sign that his body could not withstand the impact of the terrifying internal energy. Golden blood seeped from the cracks, staining him into a man of blood.

Eighteen breaths!

Behind him, the Silver Sword Net finally let out an overburdened wail and shattered with a bang!

Xie Lingfeng, Gu Yan, and the others simultaneously spat out mouthfuls of blood, sent flying by the counter-shock force, and completely lost consciousness.

"Roar—!!!"

The slaughter obsession realized Lu Yu's true goal and let out an even more violent roar.

The phantom of the slaughter obsession, having broken free from its restraints, let out an earth-shattering roar. The blood-colored giant sword, carrying the rage of total destruction, abandoned everyone else.

At a speed several times faster than before, it stabbed toward the back of Lu Yu's heart while his back was turned!

This sword strike condensed all its power after being provoked. Everywhere it passed, space completely shattered, leaving a black trail that could not heal for a long time!

The blood-colored giant sword condensed, carrying overwhelming fury and the will of destruction, as it stabbed wildly toward the back of Lu Yu's heart!

The terrifying slaughter will took the lead, piercing into Lu Yu's Sea of Consciousness like an icicle!

This strike was faster and more Xiao Wuqing than any before!

Before the sword blade even arrived, that cold slaughter intent almost froze Lu Yu's Divine Soul.

Nineteen breaths!

The tip of the sword was less than five zhang away from Lu Yu's back!

Space was torn into a pitch-black trail!

At this moment of life and death—

Lu Yu's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open!

In his eyes, Chaos was beginning to take shape, and Myriad Phenomena were rotating!

The two immortal swords he held tightly in his hands had their crimson and orange-yellow light restrained to the extreme, turning into two tiny poles that seemed capable of swallowing light.

All his power, insights, and even his burning life essence produced a brief, miraculous resonance with the Origin power of the two immortal swords at this moment through the ultimate mediation of the Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent!

Lu Yu's gaze pierced through the Void Realm, locking dead onto the demon sword broken hilt.

Then, giving it his all, he crossed the two swords and slashed toward that crack, unleashing a supreme strike that surpassed his own limits and fused a trace of the true might of the twin immortal swords!

"Immortal Slayer! Immortal Trapper!"

"Dual Extremes Returning to the Void—Slash!"

Crimson and orange-yellow, two slender sword lights condensed as if they were solid, shot out from the blades. They met and fused in the air, turning into a strange, greyish Sword Qi that seemed capable of returning all things to the primal state of Chaos!

Silently, yet faster than time itself, it accurately sank into that demon sword broken hilt.

Time seemed to stretch at this moment.

Behind him, the tip of the blood-colored giant sword was less than three feet from the back of Lu Yu's heart.

That cold slaughter edge had already pierced his protective Sword Qi and touched his skin.

But it stopped.

No, it didn't stop, but... it solidified, and then, starting from the tip of the sword, it crumbled and dissipated inch by inch.

Above the platform, the massive and terrifying blood-colored phantom of the obsession suddenly froze, letting out a silent roar full of disbelief, pain, and anger.

The sound stopped abruptly, as if it had been cut off.

It looked down at its own dissipating body, then at the demon sword broken hilt in front of it.

On the broken hilt, the crack where the greyish Chaos Sword Qi had entered suddenly erupted with a brilliant light that was impossible to look at directly!

Immediately after, centered on the crack that was hit, countless finer cracks spread across the entire broken hilt like a spiderweb in an instant!

Crack, crack, crack—!

The dense sounds of shattering joined together.

That demon sword broken hilt, which had existed for over a hundred thousand years and nurtured a terrifying slaughter obsession, finally reached its end under this Returning to the Void Sword Qi, which fused the Origin power of the immortal swords and mediated all of Lu Yu's Sword Dao foundations.

Boom—!!!

It wasn't an explosion, but complete annihilation.

The entire broken hilt, along with the last trace of Origin belonging to the Demon Sword Immortal and the endless slaughter brand remaining inside it, turned into the finest black dust at the same time.

Then, swept by the remaining Chaos Sword Qi, it completely disappeared from this world, as if it had never existed.

Since the root was destroyed, the obsession that relied on it naturally became like a tree without roots.

Behind him, the edge of the blood-colored giant sword had already pierced Lu Yu's Protective Aura and touched the skin of his back, a spray of golden blood shooting out.

The blood-colored phantom let out a hiss containing endless unwillingness. Its massive body disintegrated inch by inch starting from the tip of the sword, turning into blood-colored light spots floating across the sky, slowly dissipating in the whistling Sword Qi wind of Burial Sword Mountain.

That suffocating slaughter intent receded like a tide.

There was a dead silence on the platform, with only heavy, painful gasps and the faint sound of swords ringing in the distance.

Lu Yu maintained his sword-swinging posture, motionless.

A few breaths later, he spat out a mouthful of golden blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. The light of the immortal swords in his hands completely faded as they returned to his body. His vision went dark, and he fell straight backward.

In the final moment before his consciousness sank into darkness, he faintly felt that at the place where the demon sword broken hilt was annihilated, a point of extremely pure, faint black light without any Impurities silently entered the space between his eyebrows.

On the other side, the Tang Jia Third Young Master, who was fighting with Xiao Wuqing, suddenly shuddered, the color draining from his face the moment the demon sword broken hilt was annihilated and the slaughter obsession dissipated.

"No—!!!"

He let out a desperate and venomous roar.

The mission... had completely failed!

Not only was the obsession gone, but even the root of the demon sword that carried the obsession was destroyed!

He seemed to already see Tang San's cold and furious face.

He suddenly turned his head and stared fixedly at the unconscious Lu Yu on the ground, his eyes instantly filled with endless resentment and killing intent.

"Lu Yu... It's all because of you... You destroyed my Great Dao! I want you to pay with your life!"

He actually ignored Xiao Wuqing beside him, acting like a madman as he mobilized all his remaining power, turning into a piercing black light and lunging straight at the unconscious Lu Yu!

The Sinister Long Sword in his hand stabbed directly at Lu Yu's defenseless throat!

This strike was as fast as lightning and exceptionally Xiao Wuqing!
