I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 509 Master-Disciple Feud

Boom!

Boom! !

Xuanhuahao, a century-old brand, was reduced to ashes at a visible speed under the bombardment of two peerless masters, Ying Xun and Xiao Aoshi.

Pavilions and towers collapsed and crumbled one after another; seemingly thick walls and sturdy pillars crumbled and shattered like tofu in an instant.

Powerful bursts of energy spread outwards, like towering waves, turning everything caught in them into dust.

Even a master of Hayato Ten'in's caliber wouldn't dare to easily step into the battle between the two.

As for the experts from Xuanhua brought by Xiao Aoshi, although they could not participate in this earth-shattering duel, they were unwilling to just be spectators, so they set their sights on You Ruo.

In their view, capturing You Ruo alive would surely distract Ying Xun and make him hesitant to act, thus creating an opportunity for the leader to win.

Unfortunately, they soon realized how foolish their idea was.

Upon noticing the unusual movements of the Xuanhua expert, You Ruo advanced instead of retreating, transforming herself into a sword. A sword intent that severed heaven and earth and determined the good and evil of all living beings soared into the sky, slightly surpassing even the consciousness-only sword intent that Xiao Aoshi had initially displayed.

—The Broken Sword Technique.

Similar to the sword intent of the Consciousness-Only School, the sword intent of the Broken Sword Technique cultivated by You Ruo can also affect the mind of the opponent.

If the sword intent of the Consciousness-Only Sword is to sweep away the opponent's fighting spirit, then the sword intent of the Broken Sword Technique is to make the opponent fall into repentance, repenting for the evil deeds they have committed in their life.

Some weak-willed villains, under the influence of this sword intent, would choose to commit suicide to atone for their sins without You Ruo even having to lift a finger.

Of course, sword intent varies from person to person. As for the power of the Broken Sword Technique itself, it is still very strong and in no way weaker than the Sword Saint Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

In addition, with her martial arts talent that rivals Feng Yun's, and Ying Xun's meticulous guidance, You Ruo has cultivated her family's Broken Sword Technique to an extremely high level. When she unleashes it at full power, it can rival the Myriad Swords Return to Origin technique in Wuming's hands.

Under the influence of the sword intent, the Xuanhua Hao masters were unable to unleash their full strength. Some were even too preoccupied with repenting for their sins to resist. In the blink of an eye, the Xuanhua Hao masters fell to the ground dead.

"A bunch of idiots."

This is Hayato Ten'in's assessment of the group of Xuanhua's top fighters.

Don't they realize that although You Ruo has no record of battles, she must be quite strong to have become Ying Xun's wife. She must be one of the top experts in the world. Otherwise, Ying Xun wouldn't have brought her to Japan.

Hayato Ten'in merely glanced at the scene, showing no intention of intervening, and focused entirely on the battle between Xiao Aoshi and Ying Xun.

The two fought fiercely, with hundreds and thousands of battles taking place in every instant.

Laughing at the world, he used countless martial arts techniques to attack Ying Xun.

This Myriad Paths of the Forest is one of the most advanced martial arts techniques in the world. The Master of Laughing at the World can even use it to understand people's hearts and seize the initiative.

Even Hayato Ten'in, who has now mastered part of the Myriad Paths of the Forest and can almost sweep through the Central Plains martial arts world, is confident that he can defeat his opponent in one move.

But now, after fighting Ying Xun for countless moves, he has not gained the upper hand at all.

Ying Xun's martial arts skills were no less than his, and the two fought too fast. Even if they could see through each other's thoughts, that was only the thought of the previous moment. In the next instant, they would have already unleashed countless moves.

"Isn't this guy all bark and no bite? How come he can fight me for so long without showing any signs of fatigue?" Xiao Aoshi wondered to himself.

Apart from his battle with Xiao Sanxiao back then, Xiao Aoshi had never experienced such a fierce fight before, so as time went by, his fighting spirit inevitably wavered.

Ying Xun naturally wouldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. His aura erupted once more. He first used the Cloud-Dispelling Palm—Overwhelming Force—to force Xiao Aoshi back, and then used the Ten Directions Invincible One Body to strike the latter's chest heavily.

Xiao Aoshi let out a muffled groan, his body flying backward, smashing through walls and artificial hills until he was shattered. He flew dozens of feet before barely managing to regain his balance.

Ying Xun followed closely behind, unwilling to miss the opportunity to beat a dog when it was down.

In fact, he was not going all out, but was using the Laughing at the World to comprehend the myriad paths of the universe.

Through the Nine Void Boundless and Heavenly Cry, Ying Xun had actually seen two ultimate techniques: Ten Thousand Paths of the Forest and the Four Absolute Techniques of the Chaotic Heaven.

Of these two martial arts, he values ​​the Myriad Paths of the World more.

The reason is simple: his knowledge is too diverse, so he wants to draw on the myriad paths of martial arts to create a martial art that encompasses and integrates many martial arts, thus forging his own path.

It was precisely because his martial arts were so complex that it became extremely difficult to integrate them. After several years of research, although he had some clues, it was even more difficult to take it a step further.

Therefore, he wanted to see how well Xiao Aoshi Wandao Senluo was cultivating, and whether he could gain some inspiration from him.

Of course, if all else fails, he still has the Heaven and Earth Furnace Scripture, which can melt all things.

However, this was not a path he had chosen on his own.

Xiao Aoshi was a top expert in the world, aiming for the top five and striving for the top three. In addition, Wan Dao Senluo had the power to see through people's hearts, so he gradually realized Ying Xun's thoughts and became increasingly angry.

He, who regarded mortals as ants, was nothing more than a target for his opponent to observe his martial arts?!
"Very well, Ying Xun, since you want to see my Myriad Paths of the Netherworld, I'll let you see as much as you want!"

With a roar, Xiao Aoshi held nothing back. He first forced Ying Xun back with a move called "Heavenly Fire Path," and then unleashed his true energy without any reservation.

Boom boom boom!

Four different auras erupted from Xiao Aoshi's body like a volcanic eruption, stirring up the world and causing the void to tremble.

One aura was as solid as the earth, another as fiery as fire, another as gentle as flowing water, and the last one as ethereal as the wind.

The four streams of energy converged and swirled, as if to recreate the universe.

The Myriad Paths of the Universe is divided into eight categories: Heaven, Earth, Odd, Orthodox, Yin, Yang, Life, and Death. It encompasses the power of Heaven and Earth and can be integrated into a world-destroying force.

If the mental technique is reversed and activated according to the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, a move with earth-shattering power can be unleashed. Xiao Aoshi calls this move the Four Tribulations Divine Light!
This move was originally prepared for Xiao Sanxiao, but today he used it on Ying Xun.

"Die!"

With a sharp shout, Xiao Aoshi unleashed four extraordinary forces that merged into one, perfectly illustrating the concept of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.

The divine light formed by the fusion of these four forces was dreamlike and ethereal, containing unimaginable power, much like Sword Twenty-Three, a move that should not exist in the mortal world.

With a thunderous roar, this divine light hurtled towards Ying Xun at a speed surpassing that of light and everything else in the world.

The destructive aura contained within the divine light sent chills down Ying Xun's spine.

The jade pendant at his waist instantly transformed into a sword, unleashing a sword aura that reached the heavens and the earth, soaring to the heavens and the earth.

In an instant, it seemed as if a war god a hundred feet tall appeared, wielding a divine sword to meet the divine light. With this sword strike, Ying Xun borrowed the "Nine Heavens Limitless" effect of the divine weapon Nine Heavens, which could amplify the user's power several times in an instant, up to ten times in its strongest form.

The Four Tribulations Divine Light of Laughing at the World is comparable to Sword Twenty-Two. With Ying Xun's current strength, he doesn't need ten times the power, so he only amplified it by five times. But even five times the power is terrifying.

Under this sword strike, a sharp aura rippled outwards, as if even the heavens themselves had been cleaved in two.

A single sword strike, dazzling like a startled rainbow.

Like the rising sun, it collided with the incoming divine light of the Four Tribulations.

Boom!

Two forces not of this world collided, and in an instant, it was as if the end of the world had arrived, with countless buildings crumbling into dust in a flash.

At the same time, a huge energy vortex formed in mid-air, causing the earth below to tremble, as if it were about to be swept up into the sky, devouring everything tangible in all directions, and then being pulverized in an instant.

A violent force swept across the entire world.

The two forces, filled with destructive energy, were still colliding and eroding each other. Xiao Aoshi's expression had changed drastically because he felt his Four Tribulations Divine Light trembling and constantly crumbling.

In other words, his Four Tribulations Divine Light couldn't withstand Ying Xun's sword strike.

As someone accustomed to crushing opponents, Xiao Aoshi, seeing that even his strongest move couldn't defeat Ying Xun, could no longer suppress his fear and chose to flee.

"go!"

As Xiao Aoshi unfolded his figure, he was about to leave with Hayato Ten'in.

Hayato Ten'in was his most favored disciple, and he would not send him to his death unless the situation was truly beyond redemption.

In addition, bringing Hayato Ten'in along can also help him hold off Ying Xun for a moment when he is in dire straits, giving him time to escape.

As for whether Hayato Ten'in would be willing to buy him time to escape, that was not something Hayato Ten'in could decide.

Because among the myriad paths of the universe is one called the Beast Heart Path, which can unleash a martial artist's full potential, turning them into a fearless beast, completely under the caster's control.

Although it can only be unleashed once, and after a brief moment of glory comes eternal death, if it really comes to the point where Hayato Ten'in needs to buy him time to escape, why would he care about Hayato Ten'in's life or death?

But is Hayato Ten'in willing to go with Laughing World?
Suddenly, Xiao Aoshi felt a cold, painful sensation, piercing through him from his lower back to his abdomen.

Xiao Aoshi reacted extremely quickly, striking the attacker squarely in the chest with a backhand palm strike, the sound of bones cracking faintly audible.

"Hayato Tenkaku, how dare you plot against your master?!"

Xiao Aoshi did not draw his sword, but slowly turned around, looking at his most prized disciple, his eyes almost spitting out real anger.

"Hahaha, Master, how did that sword strike taste?"

Hayato Ten'in knelt on the ground, one hand clutching his chest, coughing up blood incessantly, but his face showed the satisfaction of having avenged his great enemy.

If he hadn't noticed that Xiao Aoshi was on guard and had protected his vital points with his protective inner energy, his sword would have pierced the chest instead of the waist and abdomen.

Laughing at the world, he cultivated the myriad paths of the universe, encompassing all martial arts, including body-training techniques. Coupled with his own exceptional cultivation, even when Hayato Ten'in pierced through his abdomen, it did not cause him much damage.

However, being ambushed by his most valued disciple was unacceptable to him. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Hayato Ten'in, I have always thought I treated you well, teaching you martial arts and helping you create the Hidden Sword School. Why did you betray me?!"

Despite his injuries, Hayato Ten'in stood up, his cold demeanor tinged with a hint of reminiscence and tenderness: "Master, do you still remember Sawako?"

"Sawako?"

Xiao Aoshi frowned, his face full of doubt, then his doubt turned to understanding, and finally to astonishment and disbelief: "You're crazy! For a woman, you actually betrayed your master?"

"Just one person?"

Hayato Ten'in's face instantly darkened, his whole body exuding hysterical hatred. He roared, "What do you know? Sawako was the woman I loved most in my life. You not only had Sawako killed, but you also killed me and her son."

I swore long ago that one day I would make you pay the price, but I never expected that day to come so soon. Hahaha, heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!

Although the two in front of him were master and disciple, Hayato Ten'in harbored a deep-seated hatred for his master, Laughing World, wishing he could tear him to pieces and skin him alive.

In terms of being a master, even Xiong Ba is considered to be virtuous and capable compared to Xiao Ao Shi.

Hayato Ten'in became a disciple of Xiao Ao Shi from a young age, studying literature and martial arts, medicine, divination, astrology, and the art of divination.

When Hayato Tenkaku was twenty, he laughed and left the world, leaving behind the myriad paths of the universe for him to comprehend.

Hayato Ten'in was also a prodigy. With his extraordinary talent and hard work, he quickly became a top master in Japan. During this time, he met the love of his life, Sawako.

Despite their vastly different social statuses, Hayato Amagami showed no disdain for Sawako. They fell in love and quickly married, eventually having a son.

This period was arguably the happiest time of Hayato Amagakure's life.

Hayato Ten'in was an extremely important wife in Xiao Ao Shi's hands. After he married Sawako, his progress in martial arts and power development was slow. Therefore, Xiao Ao Shi sent a master to kill Sawako and dismember her body in front of Hayato Ten'in as a warning.

In addition, Xiao Ao Shi also took Hayato Ten'in's son as a hostage.

Later, Hayato Ten'in encountered a bottleneck in cultivating the Myriad Paths of the Forest and sought advice from Xiao Aoshi. At that time, Xiao Aoshi told him that he needed to refine and consume the internal organs of people with different destinies and the five elements in order to achieve great success.

Hayato Ten'in did as he was told without any doubt. Perhaps it was karma, but by chance, he discovered that the heart of the person he had taken contained his own son, whom he had been searching for for many years.

If all of this wasn't meticulously planned by Xiao Aoshi, with the aim of turning Hayato Ten'in into a heartless, desireless tool completely obedient to him, probably no one would believe it.

Hayato Amagakure didn't believe it either.

But he didn't show it, pretending that he hadn't discovered the truth, and continued to obey Xiao Aoshi.

However, he already harbored a deep-seated hatred for Xiao Aoshi, but the gap between his cultivation and Xiao Aoshi's was too great, and he didn't know how many spies Xiao Aoshi had planted around him, so he could only endure it in silence.

Although Hayato Ten'in is a ruthless killer, he treats his family with the same deep affection as any ordinary person, sharing a bond stronger than blood.

On the day his lover Sawako died, he vowed to avenge himself on Xiao Aoshi. Coupled with the death of his son, if Hayato Ten'in were to seize the opportunity, he would naturally choose to betray Xiao Aoshi without hesitation and send him on his way.

For Hayato Ten'in, Ying Xun's appearance was an opportunity.

Therefore, after witnessing Ying Xun's strength, Hayato Ten'in chose to cooperate with him.
