C163
Cardinal was currently concealed behind a rock. Although Lu Heng had seen many corpses, none of them were Cardinal's.
The ones who died were the first batch of inner court disciples who arrived. As the saying goes, the leader was shot at the gun.
You came after me, you wanted to put me to death, I have no choice, I can only let you die.
Although the fight between Cardinal and the Elders had happened in a split-second, the constant sacrifices of the inner disciples of the Hua Shan Sect had played a role in delaying the battle.
In just a few seconds, in just a few minutes of delay, the Sword Master Yun Wu and Ying Xu had time to rush over.
Then, there was no other way for the Cardinal to escape!
The first reason was because he was heavily injured, and the second was because he had paid the full price. To be able to deal with the Sword Master of the same generation as him, no matter what, Cardinal would not dare to underestimate him!
Therefore, one chased while the other fled.
It was impossible for Cardinal to stop, and it was also impossible for Sword Master Yunwu to let him off.
Whether it was because of the past grudges or the future grudges, none of them could be a reason to let Cardinal go.
For Cardinal, the first thing he did was kill the remnants of the sect, and the second thing he did was to kill so many of the Hua Shan Sect's people. Not only did he kill them, he also killed them in front of the crowd.
In terms of passion and logic, Cardinal and Hua Shan were both enemies, and would not rest until they were dead. There was no chance for reconciliation, and there was no room for manoeuvre.
Under the pursuit of Swordmaster Yun, the Cardinal did not dare to split his attention between them. He did not dare to relax and continuously circulated his internal energy, speeding up his movement!
The wound on his abdomen was torn apart by extreme speed. Cardinal's blood also left a mark on the mountain!
The blood of the disciples of the Hua Shan Sect and the blood of the Cardinal had dyed some of the rocks of the Hua Mountain red, as well as some of the vegetation on the mountain red, as well as some of the thin snowflakes that had quietly accumulated.
The blood of the people of the Hua Shan Sect mixed with the blood of the Cardinal. Afterwards, it was impossible to tell which blood came from which. The blood stains along the way had also quietly congealed under the cold.
As they fled, the sky gradually turned dark.
Gradually, it became harder and harder to see the road ahead clearly. Cardinal was used to seeing the darkness around him being slightly affected, but he did not obstruct him too much.
Later on, all the disciples of the Hua Shan Sect, including the Sword Master Yun, slowed down a bit.
The Cardinal heaved a sigh of relief. While enduring the pain in his abdomen, the pain reminded the Cardinal to keep his mind clear.
This kind of method was wrong. No matter how hard he tried to escape, he would never be able to escape from Mount Hua. The most likely possibility was that he would be able to return to the peak of Mount Hua. It was not like escaping from Mount Hua.
After the Cardinal stopped, he immediately blended into the night. After he found a place to hide, he used all his strength to conceal himself.
Swordmaster Yunyi was right behind the Cardinal, and not long after, Ying Xu also arrived at the place where the Cardinal had hidden himself.
Swordmaster Yun Wu stopped walking. Ying Xu frowned and asked, "Teacher, what's the situation now?"
Along the way, Ying Xu saw corpses. He saw life forms that were once so fresh and alive, and some of them were disciples of Mount Hua whom he had treated before, or some of the younger generation that he had mentioned. Right now, they were all corpses.
Ying Xu originally wanted to kill the Cardinal, but his killing intent became even stronger.
When he saw that the Swordmaster Yun had stopped, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He immediately stopped and began to carefully sense around!
Cardinal did not continue to flee! They were hiding!
"Master, can you determine his position?" Ying Xu asked.
"Not at the moment, but he was severely injured, and his aura is in chaos right now. That aura just disappeared into thin air just now, he must be somewhere nearby!"
"There is no wall in this world that doesn't let the wind pass through it. No matter how well he conceals it, there will always be clues to follow. Yingxu, we will split up and search!"
It had been many years since Swordmaster Yunwu had gripped a sword. It was easy to be born with a spiritual injury that wasn't something that could be healed just by recuperation.
If the body has a disease, medicinal pills can be treated. If the heart has a disease, what kind of medicine can be cured?
Although Swordmaster Yun's sword technique was constantly improving, his internal force was also steadily improving!
However, his inner demons had never let him off since then!
Demons were breeding in his heart, and there was nothing he could do to cure them.
Cardinal did not have to die! In fact, he had instructed Cardinal to study in Mount Hua when they were on their way down the mountain. But he couldn't avoid his inner demons! He just wanted the Cardinal to die.
Even though he hadn't killed anyone in many years, even though he hadn't used a sword in many years and had been hiding behind the back mountains of Mount Hua for many years, he still wanted to kill Cardinal and the rest of the sect's evildoers!
At this moment, Swordmaster Yun was thinking, maybe after killing all the remaining evildoers in the sect, the people in the martial world will treat me with respect, and I will no longer have the name of a coward to accompany me for life!
Sometimes, a moment of weakness would become the shame of one's life.
But does Sword Master Yun Wu have a way?
He didn't!
He wanted to preserve his own power, so he couldn't move recklessly!
Once he moved, he would suffer the backlash of the Nine Profound Saber. It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but he couldn't!
He could struggle to exercise, but he was destined to cripple his martial arts and become a cripple!
The nine blades were nailed to his limbs and waist, and his shoulders and head.
The consequence of struggling to get up was that his hands and feet were broken, his collarbones were pierced, and he had a spinal cord wound on his waist.
At that time, the Swordmaster Yun Wu did not surrender, nor did he move his body. Instead, he continuously used his luck to invade the nine blades of the Nine Hell Blade.
Unfortunately, just as he was about to successfully invade the last three blades, Yi Tian had already died. He just laid there without moving, and there was no point in invading the first six blades, because Yi Tian had already died.
However, this was what he hated the most! At this time, the allied army of the eight great sects had arrived. Some people had gathered around Yi Tian's corpse, while others had come to rescue Swordmaster Yun who had been nailed to the ground!
This was the beginning of the tragedy! This was the beginning of the inner demons!
As soon as the rescuer arrived, he discovered a magical phenomenon. Although nine blades had nailed him to the ground, six of them were not a threat. They no longer had the power to cut apart Sword Master Yun's muscles and bones!
There were only three small knives!
Swordmaster Yunwu laid on the ground unmoving. He even revealed a smile when he was rescued, and even asked a shameless question, "Yi Tian, is he dead?" He clearly knew the answer …
The rescuer was suddenly enraged. Yi Tian was dead? If you don't die, why don't you just lie on the ground and be a coward? After you die, pat your butt and get up. Tell the experts of the eight sects that you are also a survivor after the life-and-death battle with Yi Tian?
Survivors, what a word!
Everyone was dead, and only one person was left alive. This survivor who had been stabbed by three weak blades made him give up resisting!
And then, for some reason, everyone felt that Swordmaster Yun was a coward!
And then, for some reason, despite being a survivor, Swordmaster Yun had always felt that it would have been great if the one who died at that time was him!
To live as a survivor, did he really have to bear the burden of the souls of his fellow Daoists who perished together with him?
Swordmaster Yunyi grew more and more crazed. He had previously explained, but later on, he would not explain any further.
Swordmaster Yun Wu began to disappear. From then on, he would no longer mention the matters of the past, the matter of killing his family, or the matter of being born into another world.
Swordmaster Yun had obtained the right to live, but had also lost something. The reason why he had been unable to walk out of this haze for the rest of his life was simply because he was alive …
