CHAPTER 90: CHAPTER 87 SWORD INTENT "LIFE SLAUGHTER

The contract contains cosmic laws. Once an oath is sworn and blood is shed, the cosmic laws will mysteriously accept this oath, resulting in permanent restraint on the oath-taker. If the oath-taker violates the oath, the cosmic laws will not easily forgive.

Therefore, the contract is especially precious, an invaluable treasure in the cosmos. Xian Qu acquired it from his father in the Celestial God Realm, yet Wang Xu used it on a mere Black Cloud Country. It shows that Wang Xu is willing to do anything to protect his family.

Soon, Wang Xu returned home, and from afar, he heard Wang Zhenguo laughing joyfully and emotionally.

"Dad, Mom." Wang Xu smiled as he walked into the house.

"Xu’Er is back too. Our family is finally reunited, haha..." Wang Zhenguo laughed until tears welled up in his eyes. In his heart, finding Wang Jun and having the family reunite seemed almost impossible. He had experienced the insect disaster era and knew how terrifying a disaster it could be. Wang Jun was only six at the time and could not possibly survive the chaos of the insect disaster.

However, Wang Xu had actually done it, bringing Wang Jun back, and the family was finally able to see each other again.

Ten years passed, Wang Jun changed a lot, but Wang Zhenguo and Lin Hui kept remembering his face. At the moment they saw Wang Jun, both shed tears.

So similar, just like the face that often appeared in their dreams.

Wang Jun also saw his aged parents and knelt down with a thud, giving Wang Zhenguo and Lin Hui three resounding bows.

Everyone was crying uncontrollably.

"Xu’Er, hurry and take a look, your brother is already married and has a chubby son, yet you’re still single. Aren’t you ashamed!" Wang Zhenguo smiled teasingly while holding the baby in his arms.

"Dad, I’m not in a hurry about this." Wang Xu was embarrassed, relieved that his brother brought back a son, diverting his parents’ attention. Otherwise, after comforting his brother, the focus might quickly shift to him.

That night, the family gathered around the table for a warm reunion dinner. Wang Zhenguo and Lin Hui couldn’t help but cry again, feeling so emotional that they couldn’t restrain themselves.

"Xiao Jun, do you have something on your mind?" After dinner, Lili and her mother Lin Hui tidied up the dishes while the two talked about everything in the kitchen. Wang Zhenguo was happily holding his grandson, and Wang Xu saw Wang Jun standing on the balcony, looking forlorn, and asked.

"Brother, to be honest, I have a foster father who treated me very well. These years he raised me single-handedly." Wang Jun said.

Wang Xu nodded. At six, Wang Jun had no survival ability and could only rely on the aid of kind-hearted people.

"My foster father fed and clothed me, though he couldn’t send me to school, I still thank him. But I watched him get beaten to death without having any way to help..." Wang Jun’s eyes were red and wet, sobbing.

"Don’t worry, I’ll vent this anger for you. Anyone who dares to bully my family won’t have a good end." Wang Xu patted Wang Jun’s head, his tone becoming hard.

The next day, Wang Xu returned to the Sixth Safe Zone and stepped into the Flying Knife Association’s meeting room in mid-air.

Due to Zhou Feidao’s death, the Flying Knife Association was significantly shaken, and all high-level members gathered to select their future leader.

However, just as their meeting reached halfway, the window suddenly shattered, and a figure slowly stepped in mid-air, standing before them.

Venerable!

Everyone was terrified looking at this figure, but before they could react, their bodies were suddenly lifted by an invisible hand, and before they could utter a cry, their necks were snapped, becoming lifeless bodies.

No high-level member of the Flying Knife Association was spared; they all died on the spot.

On this day, the entire Flying Knife Association building seemed to be shrouded in death, with everyone from top to bottom dead, all with snapped necks.

Only three big men were different, their deaths were extremely gruesome and bizarre. Their hands and feet turned to powder, faces twisted, tortured by immense pain before they died.

It all seemed like a mystery. No one knew why the powerful and domineering Flying Knife Association was wiped out in an instant.

Two Venerables stationed in the Safe Zone knew the reason but did not intervene.

Whoosh!

A mass of flames ignited, an elder in luxurious clothes lay cold on a wooden platform, gradually engulfed by the flames, Wang Xu’s entire family watched this scene from afar, Wang Jun and Lili overwhelmed with grief.

Wang Xu sighed, patted Wang Jun’s shoulder, "Condolences."

This elder was Wang Jun’s foster father, who tirelessly raised Wang Jun for ten years but was beaten to death by members of the Flying Knife Association. Wang Xu imposed torments on the three assailants, causing them to die in regret and pain.

"Ding!"

The Light Computer chimed with a notification, Wang Xu glanced at it, "It’s time to take on the new position."

The mission of a Venerable is to guard, and each Venerable is responsible for stationing at a Safe Zone. Wang Xu naturally chose his hometown—the Seventh Safe Zone.

Here lived his parents, his family and friends. Wang Xu’s choice not only allowed him to be with his family every day, but also to personally protect them, which couldn’t be better.

......

Settling into the position of Venerable, various forces and families naturally came to offer congratulations. To this, Wang Xu waved them off, leaving all matters to Sirus.

Sirus had been following him since he was a Special Envoy, later almost forgotten as Wang Xu focused on cultivation. Now, with public duties arising, he was remembered once more.

Upon hearing this news, Sirus was overjoyed. Back then, when following Wang Xu, he was merely a Special Envoy, a Tier Seven student. But now, he had reached the rank of Venerable, second to none but the supreme leader. To continue following Wang Xu, the status was obviously desirable!

"Master Martial Envoy, rest assured, I will handle everything to perfection!" Sirus exclaimed excitedly.

The Extreme Martial Envoy is the title given to a Venerable by the Extreme Ancient Hall.

"Mm, I trust in your abilities," Wang Xu replied with a smile.

Thereafter, Wang Xu embarked on a long path of cultivation.

This path was lengthy, and in the blink of an eye, a year passed by.

Over the year, Wang Xu spent almost every day inside the Ancient Battleship, cultivating Heaven and Earth Will, absorbing Cosmic Crystals to enhance his realm, hunting Star Giant Beasts in the Hunting Ground... Any method that could enhance his power, he tried them all.

"It’s done!" In front of the Will Martial Stele, Wang Xu opened his eyes with a look of delight.

He immediately swung the fiery long saber in his hand, moving the blade slowly, a mass of light gradually converged at the tip, forming, the trajectory of the blade dragging a tail of light, carrying endless pressure as it slashed fiercely into the distance!

Boom!

Instantly, the entire ground seemed to collapse. Fortunately, the Celestial Spirit had swiftly put away the martial steles in this area, otherwise, they would have been completely turned to dust by Wang Xu’s strike.

"Congratulations, master! You have finally comprehended your first Heaven and Earth Will!" The Celestial Spirit floated over, cutely clapping its pink fists and sweetly smiling.

"Haha..." Wang Xu’s heart was filled with satisfaction. He had sat in front of the Will Martial Stele for a full month this time, immersed in the world of will for a long time, finally completely comprehending this sword intent.

"Master, do you plan to give your Heaven and Earth Will a name?" the Celestial Spirit asked.

Though the Heaven and Earth Will is derived from another, once fully comprehended, it becomes one’s own understanding and cognition, entirely different from the original. Therefore, Wang Xu naturally had the right to name his first comprehended Heaven and Earth Will.

"Life Slaughter." Wang Xu took a deep breath, "My life’s path, endless killing, shall be named ’Life Slaughter’."

Sword Intent, Life Slaughter.

The two words not only represented Wang Xu’s life but also the path he was to take.

As long as there’s life, the killings won’t cease!

Having comprehended the Heaven and Earth Will, when Wang Xu returned to interpret the "Sword Romance", he encountered no obstacles. His understanding of the secret technique had completely risen to a higher level, immediately practicing the third form of "Sword Romance" - Sword Realm.

Sword Realm, where the entire world is his blade, nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape. As long as the opponent is within the domain of his Sword Realm, it is certain to be hit!

The exertion level of Sword Realm gave Wang Xu a great surprise, reaching a terrifying 5.0. With Wang Xu’s recent significant improvement in basic fist power, a single strike could unleash a massive force of six million kilograms!

Coupled with Life Slaughter’s doubling of force, if Wang Xu exploded forth, his power could reach a staggering twelve million kilograms!

"Celestial Spirit, transport me to the ’Cyan-Horned White Beast’; I’ll face it once more," Wang Xu said, his spirit soaring.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Wang Xu’s figure suddenly vanished, next appearing in a stretch of starry sky, on a small distant meteor, where a Cyan-Horned White Beast, as massive as a kilometer, lay low.

This was not a real starry sky but a cage simulated by the Ancient Battleship. The Cyan-Horned White Beast is a Star Giant Beast, fond of residing in the boundless cosmos, enjoying slaughter the most. It had a cyan horn several tens of meters long, with scarlet eyes.

Whoosh!

In the distance, a figure appeared. The Cyan-Horned White Beast raised its head to look, immediately bounding off the meteor, charging forth.

"Cyan-Horned White Beast, having been defeated by you several times, I swear this time I’ll defeat you!"

In the first challenge, Wang Xu was utterly defeated, almost killed by the Cyan-Horned White Beast. It was so strong that it shattered his defensive Star Spiritual Treasure with a single blow, nearly piercing his heart. If not for the powerful life force of the Star Level, Wang Xu would have been a cold corpse.

During the second challenge, Wang Xu specially selected the Star Spiritual Treasure Set most suitable for him, weapons, battle armor, and accessories. Together, they significantly increased his power, making it impossible for the Cyan-Horned White Beast to kill him, but Wang Xu also couldn’t kill the beast, both ending in a draw.

This was the third challenge. Wang Xu had comprehended the Sword Intent of Life Slaughter, his strength skyrocketing again, giving him nearly ninety percent certainty in dealing with the Cyan-Horned White Beast!

"Die!"
