Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 317: Chapter 149: “Your Sword Intent is very chaotic.”_2
 

“With your Golden Core Peak Great Perfection Cultivation coming to find me, if I don’t die today, it would be unreasonable!”

“But, Bai Yi!”

“We’ve been lifetime archenemies, and even if I die, I hope we can determine a winner before I go. Let no one else intervene, or I’ll kill Ji Renjian first. I know you came for her!”

“…”

The scholar held the Qingfeng sword at an angle, standing on the mountain peak platform, looking towards the ferocious Ji Taiping and suddenly laughed.

“Archenemy?”

“You’ve been beneath me all your life. You were even too scared to compete in the second year’s Heavenly Pride Leaderboard because of me, never winning against me once. What makes you think you’re my archenemy?”

“Or better yet, what makes you think that I would consider you as a rival?”

“And… I didn’t come for Ji Renjian. You threaten me with her, but I don’t understand—she’s your woman, isn’t she?”

“I am merely following the Sect Master’s orders to take your life.”

The mountain beneath their feet was called ‘Qingfeng,’ originally not this name. However, after being occupied by Ji Taiping, it was renamed to ‘Qingfeng,’ homophonic to Qingfeng the sword, symbolizing the world’s top Sword Cultivator.

“Stop pretending!”

At this moment, an almost delirious Ji Taiping hysterically began to howl: “Back then, for the sake of Ji Renjian, you were willing to give up the title of ‘National Guardian Sword Master’ and return to Qing Province to escort her, truly a touching display of devotion!”

“Everyone says Bai Yi has never loved anyone in his life!”

“But what they don’t know is that Ji Renjian you deeply love is being ravaged by me every day!”

“How about it, can you still maintain that indifferent facade? Is it like a knife cutting through your heart? Painful? Good, it should hurt!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

The completely maddened Ji Taiping even tore off the thin gauze from Ji Renjian’s body, revealing her jade-like torso. The unabashed exposure of her body, his eyes bloodshot and fixated on the scholar as he let out a grim laugh.

“How about it? Does it hurt?”

“Your hand must be shaking too hard to hold your sword steady, right?”

“Do you want her? I’ve changed my mind. All of you leave now, or I’ll kill her, ensuring you’ll never have her for as long as you live!”

The fully entrapped in madness Ji Taiping.

Failed to see the despair engulfing Ji Renjian’s eyes, tears sliding down her cheeks as she covered her exposed body and turned her head towards the scholar in the red robe with a trembling voice, holding his sword.

“That day… was it you who escorted me?”@@novelbin@@

The scholar’s expression was silent and he said nothing, just standing still. Ever since learning that Brother Qiu was the State Preceptor, he hadn’t thought about that matter again, afraid that he might stumble upon some revelation.

Many things are better left undiscussed.

And at that moment—

A shrill eunuch’s voice suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain: “By the decree of the Emperor, from this day forward, Ji Taiping is to be relieved of his position as the National Guardian Sword Master, effective immediately!”

“No, no!!”

Feeling the Da Xia Qi Fortune slipping away behind him, Ji Taiping roared in a frenzy to no avail. As the Da Xia Qi Fortune faded, the stability of his realm began to crumble yet again.

At this point, Ji Renjian had already closed her eyes, tears tracing her face and falling onto her shoulders.

One must admit, Ji Renjian was indeed a stunning beauty of the mortal world, both her face and her figure were top-notch among women. However, the consecutive disasters that had befallen her today had left her unable to cope.

The one who had escorted her was not Ji Taiping, but Bai Yi, and the man she had truly loved in her heart was he who silently protected her.

And before so many people, she was left bare.

The intense humiliation ignited a strong desire for death in Ji Renjian’s heart. Pale-faced, she bit her lip and forcefully slid her neck to the side against a blade. Her snow-white neck sprayed a large amount of fresh blood into the air at the moment it crossed the sword’s edge.

Apart from taking her own life, she couldn’t imagine another way to maintain what little dignity she had left.

But just before taking her last breath, Ji Renjian forcibly opened her eyes to look towards Bai Yi standing there in a red robe and in a trembling voice said, “Don’t mind me… kill her… I’m sorry…”

…

The scholar looked towards Ji Renjian, who lay in a pool of blood, his expression calm, silent—he had never been concerned about Ji Renjian, nor did he understand why she would apologize at her dying moment.

A ripple of emotion stirred within him at that instant.

It was not about romance.

It was just that he felt it was a bit unworthy for Ji Renjian. She was the most beautiful woman under the Heavenly Dao, yet her end was so tragic. And Ji Taiping, to use his own woman as a bargaining chip, even resorting to stripping her to threaten others, was truly beyond his comprehension.

“Xiao Ji! Xiao Ji!”

Ji Taiping, who had just come to his senses, with a panicked and helpless expression, tried to stop the bleeding from the horrific wound on Ji Renjian’s neck, continuously pouring Healing Pills into her mouth, to no avail.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to kill you. I just wanted to scare them off with you; I just wanted to survive!”

“Why would you seek death!”

The scholar shook his head. As Ji Renjian died, he felt a surge of power from heaven and earth bestow upon him, granting him new insights into Sword Dao. He knew what it was.

It was the effect of Ji Renjian’s Heavenly Dao Beauty, which transferred onto him upon her death.

Sword Intent surged within him.

With Qingfeng in hand, he slowly walked towards Ji Taiping, “It’s hard to imagine how such a beast like you was raised in this world. How dare you claim to be Da Xia’s top Sword Cultivator?”
