Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 163 Senior Brother, your sword strike... severed the heart but not the body, it was too ruthless and cruel.
"Come on then. Do you think I, as the master, would be afraid of you, the disciple?"

Yan Chixia strode over in a carefree manner:

"If your cultivation level is indeed far superior to mine, then when it comes to drinking capacity, I alone can take down ten of you."

"As the number one sect leader in the world, and with the greatest capacity for alcohol, what is there to fear?" Jin Guang followed up.

“When it comes to drinking, I, the Holy Lord, have never lost in the Yin Yue Dynasty.” Qi Ye strode forward.

The others joined in the commotion, boasting that their drinking capacity was second to none.

Immediately, everyone raised a bowl of wine and said in unison:

"cheers!"

After downing the drink in one gulp, he couldn't help but exclaim loudly, "Good wine!"

"It is naturally a fine wine. I often boast that my winemaking skills are unparalleled in the world."

Upon hearing Zhuang Buran's words, Yan Hongye couldn't help but laugh:

"You, Zhuge Liuyun, are you still my senior brother? You never said you could brew wine before."

"Haha, junior sister, I'm really sorry. Actually, I can cook, but I'm too lazy, so you've been cooking for me for a year."

Yan Hongye was amused and poured three large bowls of wine:

"I knew you did it on purpose. Three bowls of wine as punishment, as an apology!"

"Daughter, it's too light. Don't pity this brat." Sima San Niang:
"When I heard that you were cooking for him, I was furious and you had to be punished with ten bowls of wine!"

Yan Chixia shouted:

"Too little, too little. This little bit of wine is nothing to someone with a huge capacity for alcohol. If you ask me, he should be punished with thirty bowls!"

"Master is right."

Zhuang Buran laughed heartily:
"Whoever gets me drunk tonight, I'll become sworn brothers with them; whoever gets me completely drunk, I'll marry them!"

“Hongye, did you hear that? Tonight, your father and I will help you get this brat drunk.”

Jin Guang, Qi Ye, and the others spoke in succession:
"I'll help Miss Hongye too."

"And I!"

After an unknown amount of time, everyone was slumped on the table, feeling dizzy, except for Zhuang Buran and Yan Hongye who were still standing.

"Senior brother, you didn't do anything to avoid losing, did you?"

"Generally, in dreams, as long as you don't want to get drunk, you won't get drunk. The reason they get drunk is because I want them to get drunk, while my junior sister isn't drunk because I'm hungry!"

Zhuang Buyan smiled broadly:
I really miss the bowl of noodles you made the first time we met.

"It's just a bowl of plain noodles, I'll make it for you." After Yan Hongye finished speaking, a stove appeared beside her.

Zhuang Buran smiled brightly:
"My junior sister is as kind and beautiful as ever."

Not long after.

Yan Hongye served a bowl of noodles, which the young man with the gun took and began to eat heartily.

"If you like eating this so much, don't you want to eat it for the rest of your life?" Yan Hongye suddenly asked with a smile.

Zhuang Buran drank the noodle soup in one gulp, shook his head and laughed:

"Junior sister, I only coveted your cooking skills, but you want my whole body. You're even more ruthless than me."

“You have to be ruthless when dealing with someone like you, otherwise you’ll just take advantage of me,” Yan Hongye said irritably.

The young man with the gun chuckled.

"Junior sister, you've got it backwards. It's you who wants to take advantage of me."

A blush appeared on Yan Hongye's pretty face:
"That bowl of noodles you just ate would have been better fed to the dog. You're still the same as before, always trying to make me angry."

Zhuang Buran said innocently:
"From the first moment I saw my junior sister, I knew that the seven lifetimes of marriage, fighting against the demonic path, and cultivating the Profound Heart Mystery Technique were not what you wanted."

"So you force yourself to become cold and ruthless, trying to use this to complete these missions you don't want to accept."

"When I make you angry, I'm indirectly telling you that nothing is bigger than yourself, and that living to your heart's content is the most important thing in this world."

"So, from our very first meeting, you read my heart." Yan Hongye looked directly into Zhuang Buran's eyes:

"I can also sense that you have no intention of destroying the world. What you call creating a golden age of demons is just nonsense you made up."

"Even now, you still won't tell the truth?"

Zhuang Buran pretended to be deep in thought, lightly tapping the table with his fingertips. The drunken crowd around him suddenly sobered up and said again:
"I suppose you all want to know why I want to destroy the world, so here is the truth."

In mid-air, a curtain of light descended, seemingly a circular light technique capable of projecting a view over a thousand miles.

The first thing that appeared on the screen was the story of Qi Ye and Nie Xiaoqian making a bet using the Blue Demon's Tears.

Then Nie Xiaoqian came to the human world and was unexpectedly captured by Meiji. Meiji used her life essence as a blackmail to force her to seduce men for her at Lanruo Temple. After that, a scholar named Ning Caichen appeared.

As the screen played images, the audience first saw a completely different Zhuge Liuyun. He was generous, straightforward, understanding, and funny, but also somewhat insecure, with weak Taoist skills, and had always been in love with Yan Hongye.

Then we see Yan Hongye, who initially disliked Zhuge Liuyun, but ironically, she went mad from practicing the "Mysterious Heart Technique".

I also saw the Golden Light Sect Master, who, in his quest to exorcise demons, unknowingly succumbed to demonic possession and became a madman.

Furthermore, we see the Seven Nights Demon Lord, who was tricked by the Moon Demon, lost everything, and was forced to become a heartless demon, wanting to destroy the world.

Sima San Niang saw herself killed by Qi Ye, and Jing Wu Yuan saw herself tricked and killed by Jin Guang. The Four Generals of Xuan Xin and the Four Sages of the Demon Palace also saw their own deaths on the light screen.

Only Yan Chixia watched the end with heartbreaking grief. Sometimes, keeping someone who deserves to die alive is the most agonizing torment.

As the light screen gradually dimmed, everyone seemed to understand everything.

"My divination skills are far superior to my martial arts and Taoist magic. This is the original course of destiny."

Zhuang Bu Ran said happily:

"Now that I have changed you all, none of you are dead. It seems that my dream of becoming a savior of the world has been quite successful. Now, only the last step is left."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dream, which seemed both real and illusory, shattered, and everyone woke up at the same time. Before they could even speak, they saw the blood-red Seven Fiends Star and the blue Heavenly Demon Star converging in the void above.

In an instant, a surge of blue and red light erupted, and a towering blue and red pillar of light descended, enveloping a barefoot, blood-stained, silver-haired youth.

"Oh no! Midnight has arrived, and the Seven Fiends of the Heavenly Demon have descended!"

Yan Chixia shouted anxiously:
"Quickly, follow me to stop Liu Yun. He must want to sacrifice himself to save all of us and all living beings."

The group leaped up and swiftly arrived in front of the silver-haired youth who was enveloped in a pillar of blue and red light.

"The Heavenly Demon Star and the Seven Fiend Stars are in conflict. When the Heavenly Demon Light reaches its most intense moment, it contains boundless demonic energy and the vengeful spirits of the Heavenly Demon."

Sima San Niang solemnly reminds you:

"We can't just rush into the demonic light and pull Liu Yun out. If we get trapped in the demonic light, at best our bodies will be possessed by the demonic spirits, and at worst we'll be reduced to ashes."

Yan Hongye's aura surged, and she took a few steps forward, resisting the overwhelming remaining force of the demonic energy:
“Senior brother, we all understand. You know that Xiaoqian’s demon body is not her true form, so you cut off her demon body. You know that reversing the cultivation of the ‘Mysterious Heart Profound Technique’ can absorb the power of the ‘Mysterious Heart Profound Technique’, so you used this to save me.”

"You pity Qi Ye's fate, and you hate him for killing your master's wife, so you cripple half of his cultivation."

"You didn't want Jin Guang to suffer a qi deviation and lose half of his cultivation, so you tampered with his meridians to prevent him from cultivating the 'Mysterious Heart Technique'."

"If you want to save everyone, why leave yourself behind?"

"Liuyun, Hongye is right," Sima Sanniang shouted.

"You've arranged everything perfectly for everyone else, so why won't you let yourself off the hook?"

Yan Chixia also said:
"You saved Hongye, Lanmo, Jinguang, Qiye, your master's wife, everyone else, and you even plan to save all living beings. How could you forget about yourself, the one you should save the most!"

Jin Guang said in a deep voice:
"Zhuge Liuyun, as the sect leader of Xuanxin Sect, I order you to stop immediately. Even if it is necessary to sacrifice your life to protect the righteous path, it should be me, the sect leader, who should do it first. How dare you, a mere Xuanxin disciple, overstep your bounds like this!"

Seven Nights spoke with utmost sincerity:
“Brother Liuyun, you removed the demonic energy of the Seven Lifetimes of Enmity from me, and you also helped me see that the Moon Demon had taken over my mother’s body. You also prevented my birth mother from being shattered to pieces. I will never forget such great kindness and virtue. Please stop now. If you continue, you will never be able to turn back.”

"Liuyun, your uncle begs you on behalf of your mother, please don't let the demonic energy and vengeful spirits of the Heavenly Demon Star enter your body anymore, or you will truly become a demon!" Jing Wuyuan roared with immense grief.

"Those destined to be linked with the Heavenly Demon Star will either destroy the human world and become the Lord of the Heavenly Demons, or die without a burial place."

Zhuang Buran ignored him, opened his arms, and it seemed that endless demonic energy and vengeful spirits all returned to his body. As the deep demonic patterns appeared between his brows, the blue and red light pillars gradually faded away.

"Hehe, now my life is linked to the Heavenly Demon Star. If I die, the Heavenly Demon Star will be destroyed. From then on, there will be no more days when the Heavenly Demon will charge against the Seven Fiends, nor will there be any time when the Heavenly Demon Clan will be revived and return."

The silver-haired youth chuckled:
“Junior sister, now only you, the master of the Moye Sword, can kill me with the nearly perfected ‘Mysterious Heart Profound Technique’.”

He paused and said:

"If you were to save the common people but kill one, or save one but harm the common people, would you choose the former or the latter?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Hongye's hand holding the Moye sword trembled slightly.

Her eyes narrowed, and her aura intensified, turning her once black hair completely white in an instant.

"Senior brother, I have a third option: to die with you and save the world together!"

"Fate is unpredictable, allowing you to cultivate the 'Mysterious Heart Technique' to its highest level at this time."

Zhuang Buran had one hand behind his back and the other hand made a sword-finger gesture:
"Then let us each draw our swords and bid farewell to the other."

"As you wish!"

Seeing this, the others remained silent, while Yan Chixia and his wife, along with Jing Wuyuan, had red eyes and were trying to hold back their tears. They hated their own uselessness and understood that this was the only way.

"The profound mystery of the mind leads to the unity of all things!"

First, countless perfect and boundless energies of heaven and earth appeared around Yan Hongye, followed by a mysterious and extraordinary rhythm of the heavenly way, and finally all of them flowed into the Moye sword in her hand.

Zhuang Buran's sword finger emitted a fierce and overwhelming aura, seemingly piercing through the heavens and earth with its dark green sword light.

The moment their energies clashed, the two figures collided.

But then a soft "bang" was heard, as if the power of the sword move was concentrated in a small space without leaking out, so that it did not harm the surrounding things.

The Moye sword pierced through the silver-haired youth's heart, and he began to waver and become unsteady.

"Forged from the black iron of the Nine Heavens, this cold blade, a three-foot-long green edge, cuts through the flowing clouds—excellent!"

Zhuang Buran lightly tapped his sword finger on Yan Hongye's brow, who was slightly taken aback, and asked with a smile:
"Junior sister, this sword technique of mine is called the Heart Sword. I wonder how well I wield it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver-haired youth's body disintegrated, and with a loud bang in the void, the Heavenly Demon Star turned into dust.

Those in the distance saw Yan Hongye's deathly pale face suddenly turn rosy, and her aura became increasingly solid.

"The phoenix rises from the ashes, its spirit never dies!"

Large tears streamed down Yan Hongye's face as she whispered:
"Senior brother, your sword strike... severed the heart but not the body, it was too ruthless and cruel."
