Chapter 459

After passing through thick fog, Qin Huan finally caught up with Qin Han in a remote mountain forest. He saw his brother sitting alone under an ancient tree, resting with his eyes closed.

"Brother!" Qin Huan shouted, his sword pointed directly at Qin Han's throat. "You've tried to stop me time and time again, but today I finally found you. Do you have anything to say?"

Qin Han slowly opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "Huan'er, you are really a guy who will not give up until you achieve your goal."

"Hmph, give me an explanation!" Qin Huan took a step forward, his sword snaking closer and closer. "First, you concealed the truth about the Divine Sword Sect, and now you're blocking my way time and again. What exactly are you up to?"

Qin Han sighed and slowly stood up from the ground, completely ignoring the sword approaching his face: "Huan'er, do you know why I always try to stop you?"

Qin Huan stared at him coldly without saying a word. Qin Han closed his eyes and spoke slowly:
"Ever since the Divine Blade Sect was destroyed, I've had no other concerns. I've been searching for years and finally found the root cause of the Divine Blade Sect's demise. Did you know that the guy named Qin Yi has been secretly colluding with the demonic sect?"

"What?" Qin Huan was startled, and his hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble.

"That's right, your uncle has long been deceived by the demons and has been colluding with them. Not only has he leaked the unique martial arts of our Divine Blade Sect, but he has also led to the destruction of innocent people in our sect for hundreds of years!"

Qin Han's expression was filled with immense pain as he spoke. He took a few breaths before continuing slowly, "And now, that fellow called Qin Yi has completely fallen. He wants to use the power of those within the Demonic Path to rebuild a new Demonic Lair on the site of the Divine Blade Sect!"

"That's why I had to stop you time and time again, just to prevent you from being dragged into a bigger vortex. Huan'er, do you know how sinister and treacherous the people in the demonic world are? If you go there, I'm afraid you'll fall into an irretrievable situation!"

Qin Huan was so surprised that the tip of his sword trembled. He had never imagined that the root of the matter was so deep!
At this moment, Qin Han suddenly rushed forward and slammed his palm on the long sword in Qin Huan's hand. Suddenly, sword flowers flew everywhere, and Qin Huan was knocked back several steps by the heavy blow!
"Huan'er, I really don't want to fight with you!" Qin Han said with a guilty look in his eyes, "But if you're still determined to die, then I can only knock you out and bring you back!"

"How shameless!" Qin Huan cursed fiercely, then he moved his body and thrust out several times with his sword, his sharp edge exposed and his force as fast as lightning!
Qin Han showed no fear at all. He turned swiftly towards the sword's edge, unleashing the "Returning Clouds, Hidden Dragon" technique from the Cangsong Art! His entire body was like a dragon shooting out from every joint, and he soared through the air amidst the awe-inspiring sword energy, unrestrained and unruly, like a serpent circling upwards!
"Huh?" Qin Huan was shocked. Just as he was about to take advantage of the situation and give chase, he saw Qin Han had already soared into the air, soaring straight into the sky, and actually used the "Soaring Clouds and Driving the Mist" skill from the Cangsong Sutra!
After a few leaps and dips, Qin Han had already soared dozens of feet high, his posture unparalleled, like a wisp of white cloud drifting in and out of nowhere. He circled in mid-air, and instantly, a powerful mist of Qi condensed in his hand, like a dense cloud, slamming down on Qin Huan!
"Is this the 'Gangyun Infusion' technique from the Cangsong Sutra?" Qin Huan saw the cloud of mist swooping down on him like a ferocious wolf. He quickly used the Divine Sword Sect's unique technique, 'Piercing the Clouds and Borrowing the Wind', and soared into the air, his entire body swirling with powerful Qi!
The two forces collided in mid-air, stirring up waves of earth-shattering vortexes! The two monstrous masses of true energy collided with each other, unleashing a blazing bolt of lightning that shot straight into the sky!
"Brother, look how I can back down today!"

"Good boy, don't underestimate my Cangsong Jue!"

The two battled in mid-air for dozens of rounds, back and forth, yet it was difficult to determine who was superior. Ultimately, Qin Han, suffering from a severe loss of vitality, gradually lost his strength, and his sword moves became increasingly disorganized. Finally, he was struck hard by a fierce and ambitious attack from Qin Huan. His blood surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, then plummeted from mid-air.
"Brother!" Qin Huan's heart tightened upon seeing this, and he quickly jumped down to rescue him. Qin Han fell heavily to the grass beside him, his face showing a look of pain. He trembled and tried to stand up, but he could no longer muster any strength.

Qin Huan quickly helped Qin Han up, his face flushed and breathing heavily. The two of them were silent for a long time, only hearing each other's breathing echoing in their ears.

After a long moment, Qin Han smiled bitterly and said, "Huan'er, don't worry. This is just my carelessness and unexpected loss of Jingzhou. If you can defeat Qin Yi and wipe out that evil sect, I will be a zombie and run away. That's enough."

Qin Huan's eyes welled up, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. The two of them sat in silence, but at this moment, Qin Huan had already made a clear decision in his heart. No matter what, he must wipe out that evil sect, avenge his master, and fight for his elder brother's hard work!
Qin Huan wiped away the tears from his eyes, held Qin Han's hand tightly, and promised solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely kill all those guys and avenge the shame of the Divine Sword Sect! When the time comes, you and I will join hands and rebuild the sect and regain its glory!"

Qin Han nodded weakly, revealing a relieved smile. At this moment, Qin Huan suddenly discovered that Qin Han was actually holding a handful of withered leaves tightly in his palm!
He was slightly surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He simply firmly helped Qin Han up, turned around, and slowly walked towards the depths of the dark forest.
……

Qin Huan checked the memories in the sword spirit carried by his brother Qin Han and learned the truth of everything.

Qin Huan tightly grasped the handful of yellow leaves and closed his eyes. He saw intense scenes flashing through his mind:
It all began on a cold, uncertain night. Dark clouds gathered over the Divine Blade Sect, and a violent storm raged. In a lonely hall, a dim light flickered, nearly extinguished.

My father, the current head of the Divine Blade Sect, sat there alone, his face gloomy and his expression withered. On the table before him lay neatly stacked piles of densely packed battle reports and military intelligence.

"This has been the seventh year in a row," my father muttered, his voice hoarse and raspy. "We've fought bloody battles with the demons year after year for the sake of humanity and to defend this land. But this never-ending war has left me with no hope of hope."

Before he could finish his words, his father slammed the battle report in his hand to the ground. His eyes were wide open, several veins popped out on his forehead, and he seemed to be in some kind of intense pain and entanglement.

At this moment, a strange cold wind blew, rolling up black smoke, and hideous faces flashed under the dim light.

"Hahahaha." One after another, eerie demonic voices echoed in the air. "Since there is no light left, let darkness live forever! Let us live in your heart!"

My father suddenly opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth to shout, but no sound came out of his throat! His pupils quickly dimmed, replaced by a bottomless darkness.

The next moment, his entire body began to tremble, his features began to twist and deform, sharp claws sprouted from his hands, and a pair of horns grew from his head! In just a few moments, my father had completely transformed into a monster!
"No! This is impossible!" My father let out a heart-wrenching roar, and his eyes opened again, completely dyed red with blood and black mist.

"Hahahaha, you've finally fallen completely, the leader of the Divine Sword Sect!" The demons in the black fog laughed sinisterly. "From now on, you are one of the people I've been waiting for! Go and start your new life!"

My father roared in pain, and his muscles began to swell rapidly. A pair of huge wings suddenly grew out from his back, tearing his clothes apart! Then, my father suddenly roared wildly, flapped his wings, and swooped down towards the gate of the Divine Sword Sect!
"Break it!" my father growled, and with a slap of his palm, the gate of the Divine Blade Sect shattered instantly, sending countless fragments flying everywhere!
"Ahhhhhh!" The disciples who were on guard inside the gate screamed in fear, but it was too late!
The father roared, flapped his wings, and pounced on the innocent disciples like a ferocious beast! His sharp claws swung repeatedly, blood splattered everywhere, and countless terrified cries echoed in the night sky.
"No! This is impossible! How could I..." Qin Huan suddenly opened his eyes, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He looked at the withered leaves in his hand, his heart sinking. It turned out that the massacre that year was actually caused by his father! And the root of everything was actually the invasion of the inner demon!
……

After recalling those thrilling scenes, Qin Huan opened his eyes again, only to find the scene before him completely transformed. He found himself standing in a dark, damp underground cave. The air was filled with the smell of decay, and everywhere was debris and stagnant water. And before him stood his gravely injured brother, Qin Han.

Qin Han lay on the ground, his body in a state of disarray, with blood trickling from the corners of his mouth. He raised his head with difficulty, met Qin Huan's solemn gaze, and smiled weakly.

"Huanhuan, you've seen everything clearly, right?" Qin Han's voice was weak. "I've kept that past event a secret for a long time and never dared to tell you."

Qin Huan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said nothing. Qin Han took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and slowly began to speak:
"Back then, when I first noticed something was wrong with my father, I guessed something was wrong. He would always stay alone in his room, talking to himself in front of the mirror, and occasionally he would let out some painful growls.

Whenever this happened, I could always vaguely smell a faint odor of decaying corpses wafting out of the room. And my father's eyes became increasingly gloomy, and gradually became a little abnormal.

Qin Han paused, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then continued, "At that time, I had a vague feeling that my father's mind might have been corroded by something. But out of respect for him, I never interfered too much, just secretly paying attention to his every move."

At this point, Qin Han's tone became extremely painful, as if he had recalled some unforgettable painful memories: "But...but I didn't expect that everything would get out of control so quickly! The tragedy that night was really too horrifying."

"My father had completely fallen, transformed into a demon, and slaughtered all the innocent disciples in the sect. I was not in the sect at the time, so I escaped death. When I rushed back to the Divine Sword Sect, there were corpses everywhere and rivers of blood!"

Qin Han could no longer contain himself at this point and burst into tears: "It was my negligence and compassion that caused things to completely get out of control! I failed to stop my father in time, which led to such a brutal massacre! I... I really deserve to die!"

Qin Huan's heart ached, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten as he watched his brother weeping bitterly. He had never imagined that the cause of the incident would be so heartbreaking.

"Later, I reflected on my mistakes." Qin Han slowly raised his head, his eyes determined. "I decided to take action in my father's name and cover up everything. Otherwise, my father's reputation and achievements over the years will all be wasted."

"So, I, in my father's name, wrote a letter to Sima Ru, entrusting you to him for adoption. I hope that one day you can avenge the Divine Blade Sect! As for me, I will wait for the right opportunity, determined to eliminate Qin Yi, the culprit behind this!"

Qin Han shook his head, his expression filled with self-blame: "However, I never expected that Qin Yi had already been assimilated by the dark forces. Even though I had set up a perfect plan, I still fell into his trap. Now that everything has been settled, the two of us brothers are no longer compatible."

Having said that, Qin Han took a deep breath, pulled out a sharp short knife from his bosom, and handed it over with both hands: "Huan'er, this is all my fault. Now I am seriously injured, and living is just a lingering breath. Please let me die under your knife, to atone for my sins from the past, and also to atone for my cowardice and incompetence throughout my life!"

Qin Huan was stunned, staring at Qin Han in amazement. He had never imagined that he and his brother would one day become enemies, and reach this point!
"Brother." Qin Huan's voice was a little choked. "I don't want to kill you! You did that to protect the reputation of the sect. You did nothing wrong!"

"Nonsense!" Qin Han interrupted him harshly, "It was precisely because of my hesitation and excessive leniency that such a tragedy occurred! Now we brothers have turned against each other, and the Divine Sword Sect has suffered such humiliation. All of this is my fault!"

……

Just as the dagger was about to stab Qin Han's heart, Qin Huan suddenly froze!
He clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and began to tremble uncontrollably. Even the dagger in his hand was trembling slightly. Droplets of glistening sweat rolled down his forehead, forming puddles beside him.

"Why...why can't I do it?" A faint voice echoed deep in Qin Huan's heart. "Even though my eldest brother said this was his wish, how could I possibly have the heart to kill my own brother?"

Qin Huan's brows were furrowed, his expression filled with agony. Facing his severely injured brother, Qin Han, his heart was almost torn apart by conflicting pain. On the one hand, Qin Han's words made him feel desolate and heartbroken; but on the other hand, how could he have the heart to kill his own flesh and blood brother?
At this moment of extremely painful struggle, a strange cold wind suddenly blew, sweeping up rotten leaves and dirty water on the ground, swirling and gathering in the air.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak," a sinister and terrifying laugh was heard from the vortex. "It's been years. I've waited so long! Now, I can finally completely suppress your souls!"

Qin Han and Qin Huan's eyes widened simultaneously, their faces filled with horror. Within the hurricane, a swirling mass of black smoke was constantly condensing and transforming. In the blink of an eye, the smoke solidified into an incomparably terrifying form.
It was a humanoid monster dressed in the robes of the Divine Sword Sect's leader. Its body was covered in pitch-black scales, with only its eyes remaining a single crimson red. Its hands were covered in sharp claws, and behind it grew a pair of enormous, sinister wings!
The most terrifying thing was its bizarre and distorted face. Deep wrinkles and warts covered its entire face, and there was even a strange crack at the corner of its lips, as if an extra mouth had grown out of it, constantly opening and closing, emitting a creepy, eerie, squeaking sound!
"Father!?" Qin Han and Qin Huan exclaimed at the same time.

That's right, this terrifying monster is none other than their father—the previous leader of the Divine Blade Sect! However, now he has been completely assimilated by the forces of darkness, transformed into a terrifying nightmare!
"Hahaha! So you still recognize me!" The Nightmare Demon laughed a piercing laugh. "That's right, my soul was corrupted by the inner demon back then, which is why I did such a cruel and inhumane thing!"

"But you don't have to blame yourself too much. You should have killed me with your own hands and eliminated my body and soul! It's a pity that you couldn't do it."

As the Nightmare Demon spoke, he looked at Qin Han's dying body and made a strange hissing sound, as if mocking his incompetence and weakness.

"Brother." Qin Huan shouted in pain, but saw Qin Han closed his eyes and shook his head gently.

"Huan'er, please leave now." Qin Han said weakly, "Let me personally finish off this nightmare demon. After all, everything is caused by my incompetence."

As he spoke, Qin Han turned over with difficulty and met the Nightmare Demon's crimson eyes. He took a deep breath, and suddenly his whole body trembled violently, and a golden light burst out from his body!
Immediately afterwards, a layer of dazzling golden light appeared above Qin Han's body, enveloping him completely! This layer of golden light swirled more and more intensely, and finally, with a deafening roar, it solidified into a gigantic human figure!
That was Qin Han's soul body! A tall and mighty golden giant, his whole body flashing with blazing golden light!
"Finally, this day has come!" The golden giant let out a deep roar and launched a final charge towards the Nightmare!
"You incompetent fellow!" The Nightmare Demon let out a piercing cry and roared at Qin Han, "Do you think you can defeat me with your meager strength?"

After saying this, the Nightmare Demon flipped his hand and a black mist enveloped Qin Han. But at this moment, Qin Han suddenly let out a long roar, and the golden light all over his body suddenly burst out, transforming into thousands of golden lights, surging wildly in the black mist!
"Boom!" A terrifying crash sounded, and the black mist and golden light burst out again! Qin Han was covered in blood and bruises. But he still gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with the last bit of fighting spirit!
"Go to hell!" The Nightmare Demon roared hoarsely, and a terrifying black light burst out from his body, shooting countless black shackles at Qin Han!
Qin Han groaned, his entire body bound tightly by the shackles! But at this critical moment, he suddenly let out a heart-wrenching roar, and the golden light on his body surged wildly. Finally, with a terrifying loud noise, all the black shackles were blown away!
"This time, I will eliminate you with my own hands, father!" Qin Han roared, and the golden light on his body began to condense rapidly, transforming into a giant golden sword like a divine dragon!
"You dare!" The Nightmare Demon roared, and the wings behind him suddenly spread out, carrying a black wave like a storm towards Qin Han!
Qin Han roared, raised the golden sword high, and slashed down towards the dark wave!
"Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed, and the final battle began! Black fog and golden light tangled fiercely underground, neither side willing to give in!
