Chapter 928: The Betrayal of the Beishan Sect
“Are you not Elder Shen Tian from the Beishan Sect? What are you doing here?”
The Mingyue Sword God looked at the newcomer, his expression somewhat surprised.
During this sweep of the Wraiths’ Marsh, each sect had its own tasks, and the area assigned to the Beishan Sect was near the north. It was unexpected to see them here.
“We’ve already finished over there!”
Shen Tian replied with a smile.
He was dressed in a black robe and wore a black hat, and in this dim environment, the smile on his face appeared somewhat eerie, sending a chill down the spines of the Mingyue Sword God and the Monk in Buddhist robes!
However, the two did not dwell on it too much. After all, encountering a fellow compatriot coming to provide support in such a place was a rare occurrence!
“You guys from the Beishan Sect are impressive, finishing your task so quickly! Our side has suffered heavy casualties, and it’s just me and the Monk in Buddhist robes left!”
A hint of sadness crossed the Mingyue Sword God’s face.
He had once been very proud, considering himself a sword god, unparalleled in the world, rarely acknowledging others. But the events he had experienced during this time had dealt him severe blows.
In this sweep of the Wraiths’ Marsh, he had watched helplessly as his teammates died one after another. That sense of powerlessness engulfed him, leaving him feeling utterly lost!
“I have burned my life essence for this battle. I will take the lead, and you and the Monk in Buddhist robes will assist me! If we cannot win, do not worry about me; just escape from here.”
As the four great Wraith generals drew closer, the Mingyue Sword God’s tone became urgent.
“Rest assured!” Shen Tian responded.
With a reassuring reply, the Mingyue Sword God no longer hesitated. He held his sword with one hand and charged directly toward the Wraith army!
In this lifetime, one must fight desperately for certain things!
“Kill!”
At this moment, the Mingyue Sword God radiated golden light, sword energy swirling around him, transforming into a sharp divine sword that plunged straight into the heart of the Wraith army!
“All the blood and hatred will be settled with you now!”
The Mingyue Sword God charged into the fray like a tiger among sheep, unleashing a massacre. Wherever he passed, countless Wraiths exploded into pieces amidst endless wails!
Shen Tian and the Monk in Buddhist robes followed closely behind, each unleashing their powers to join the battle.
“Stop him!”
Two Wraith generals leaped up, blocking the Mingyue Sword God’s path.
“I come with a heart ready to die; you are but mere chickens and dogs.”
The Mingyue Sword God was filled with killing intent, swinging his sword directly at the two Wraith generals!
“Boom!”
This strike was too powerful!
Harnessing the entirety of the Mingyue Sword God’s swordsmanship, enhanced by the burning of his life essence, a torrent of sword energy surged forth, obliterating everything in its path, instantly tearing through the space where the two generals stood!
“Boom!”
The two generals, forced to retreat repeatedly, struggled to maintain their footing!
“You insignificant beings! I will slay you to honor the countless human cultivators who have perished!”
The Mingyue Sword God had gone mad.
He knew that he would undoubtedly die after this battle, so he held nothing back, killing gods if they blocked him and killing Buddhas if they stood in his way, fighting recklessly!
The two generals wore grave expressions, deeply sensing the terror of the sword cultivator before them. Even with their abilities, they could only defend against his onslaught.
Unexpectedly, at that moment.
“Thud!”
A pale white hand suddenly pierced through the Mingyue Sword God’s chest, splattering blood everywhere, and fragments of his heart could be seen flying out, falling to the ground.
“Ugh…”
The Mingyue Sword God’s towering body instantly stiffened.
Blood silently flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the bright light in his sword-like eyes faded, becoming dim and lost.
He struggled to turn his head.
When he saw the person who had attacked him, his face was filled with confusion and disbelief.
“Wh… why?”
“Didn’t expect this, did you?”
Shen Tian wore a strange smile as he spoke, slowly withdrawing his hand, pulling out the Mingyue Sword God’s heart entirely, blood splattering everywhere.
“Swish~”
Without any support, the Mingyue Sword God’s body fell like a kite with a severed string, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
“Thud~”
The Mingyue Sword God spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.
From the bloody hole in his chest, a torrent of sword energy spilled out, and the spiritual energy within him transformed into countless light points, slowly dissipating into the heavens and earth.
“Wh… why?”
The Mingyue Sword God’s face was pale, using the last of his spiritual energy to shield his remaining form.
“Can’t you see? Our Beishan Sect is in league with these Wraiths!”
Shen Tian replied with a smile.
“In… league with the Wraiths?”
The Mingyue Sword God’s gaze grew dimmer.
He felt his life slipping away rapidly.
Having forcibly enhanced his power at the cost of his life essence, now, with his heart shattered, he could no longer stabilize his soul, teetering on the brink of collapse.
“I hadn’t planned to make a move, but you were just too strong. To resolve this battle quickly, I had no choice but to act!”
Shen Tian leisurely walked up to the Mingyue Sword God, looking down at him with pity.
“What a pity; if given time, you might have reached the level of a third or fourth tribulation…”
“You… how can you betray humanity?”
The Mingyue Sword God’s voice grew weaker.
“What does it matter to a dead man to talk so much?”
Shen Tian shook his head, preparing to deliver the final blow to the Mingyue Sword God.
“Stop!”
At that moment, the Monk in Buddhist robes, witnessing this scene from a distance, was filled with rage. Ignoring his severe injuries, he fought off his opponent and rushed over, blocking Shen Tian’s lethal strike!
“Boom!”
The two hands collided violently.
As expected, the weak and injured Monk in Buddhist robes was sent flying, his frail body covered in numerous wounds.
But he could not care for himself at that moment.
Instead, he struggled to crawl to the Mingyue Sword God’s side, helping him up and tremblingly asking, “Mingyue, are you alright?”
“Traitor…”
The Mingyue Sword God weakly uttered these two words.
He felt the call of death, his body icy cold, so cold.
Suddenly,
It was as if he had a moment of clarity. He forcefully pushed the Monk in Buddhist robes away and shouted:
“Run, escape from here, and spread the news that the Beishan Sect is a traitor…”
With that, he struggled to rise, raising his sword, staggering toward Shen Tian to carve a path for the Monk in Buddhist robes.
But at that moment, he was too weak; his heart was shattered, and the wound in his chest continued to bleed!
In the end.
“Thud!”
The Mingyue Sword God stumbled and fell to the ground just a meter away from Shen Tian, his breath barely audible, as if he had reached the limits of exhaustion, unable to hold onto his sword, which clattered to the ground.
“Mingyue!”
The Monk in Buddhist robes felt his heart tremble.
“Look at what you’ve become! You’re like a dog, do you understand?”
Shen Tian looked down at the Mingyue Sword God with a contemptuous expression.
“I will kill you!”
The Mingyue Sword God tried to raise his sword to attack.
But the sword that he could easily wield before now felt impossible to grasp.
Perhaps it was because he had lost too much blood, or perhaps it was due to the absence of his heart.
His entire being was pale, devoid of color.
“Buzz~”
At that moment, a dull sound echoed.
Without the divine essence to support him, the Mingyue Sword God’s sword had become a broken remnant, trembling sadly, as if calling for its master.
The Mingyue Sword God finally grasped the broken sword.
However, this time he did not attack.
Instead, he gently caressed the broken sword, murmuring some unintelligible words.
