Blade suddenly spoke to Mirror Stream.
"What? You still won't give up? Aside from leaving you with more wounds, there's nothing more I can do to help you."
Jingliu shook his head slightly and said coldly.
"Moreover, I already told you when I taught you swordsmanship that I do not lay a hand on those who are utterly devoid of life and waiting to be slaughtered."
"No, this time the purpose is different. This time... it's for revenge."
He drew his broken sword, raised it, and pointed it at Mirror Flow, saying...
"Revenge? Heh heh heh..."
Upon hearing this, Jingliu couldn't help but laugh.
Unexpectedly, the blade has changed? It's not drawing its sword at me to seek death?
"Kyoryu, I will return that battle to you."
Ren snorted coldly and said in a chilling tone.
"Then I will do as you wish."
Jingliu's voice also turned cold.
The two sides were about to clash, with flashing swords and the sound of clashing blades filling the air.
However, Kagami could sense that the blade was different, completely different.
The aura emanating from the blade increased dramatically, surpassing any previous battle he had fought against it.
"Isn't this unrestrained use of power a sign of falling into demonic darkness? Or is it just an excuse to seek death?"
Jingliu asked in an icy tone.
"You won't say that when I beat you."
The aura around the blade was almost solid, and his eyes flashed with a dangerous light as he slashed out with his sword.
Mirror Stream leaped into the air, the moonlight condensing and transforming into endless chill upon its body.
The two swords clashed, causing even the Xianlong Great Yu Hall to tremble slightly, with the shockwaves from the swords sweeping across the entire hall.
Zhou Xingxing quickly activated his protective power to shield Bai Lu, otherwise the little guy would probably have flown high into the sky.
As the shockwave subsided, the two stood on opposite sides, swords in hand.
"You actually didn't want to die."
Jingliu turned around, somewhat surprised.
"Hmph, and I haven't fallen into demonic possession either."
Ren gave a light snort and said.
Jingliu didn't speak, but stared intently at the blade.
As one of the Five Martial Heroes of the Clouds, Jingliu, who had killed him countless times, was the one who understood the situation best. It was truly incredible that he could exert all his strength without falling into demonic possession.
Jingliu also remembered what Zhou Xingxing had said earlier.
I'm giving you a chance, a chance to give up revenge and say goodbye to the past.
Jingliu looked at Zhou Xingxing and asked slowly.
"You did it?"
“That’s right. Both the general and the blade have been freed from the troubles of the demonic body. I’m sure that’s what you, Miss Jingliu, need most right now.”
Zhou Xingxing nodded and said slowly.
Jingliu couldn't quite describe his feelings at that moment—excitement? Thrill?
These long-lost feelings have made it impossible for me to discern my own emotions.
"Thank you..."
After being stunned for a long time, Jingliu slowly squeezed out a word of thanks.
Zhou Xingxing nodded, walked up to Jingliu, and pointed a finger at Jingliu's forehead.
As a surge of power flowed into his body, Jingliu felt the pain that had been eroding him for seven hundred years miraculously disappear.
The black veil burned away in a flame, revealing Jingliu's somewhat bewildered and slightly trembling eyes.
Chapter 185 Resentment Dissipates After Drinking
"My dear teacher, how are you feeling?"
Jingyuan stepped forward with some concern and asked Jingliu.
Jingliu didn't speak, but waved his hand at Jingyuan, covered his forehead, and recalled the memories in his mind.
A dark aura swirled around him, and Jing Liu's face showed pain.
The demonic entity was already deeply entangled with him, like the gnarled roots of an old tree embedded in his body.
Originally, he was supposed to lose his mind and escape into the demonic realm soon, but now he can clearly feel the power of the demonic body being uprooted until he can no longer feel it at all.
After a long while, Jingliu closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
"Thank you."
This time, the expression of gratitude was more sincere and heartfelt.
"It's alright, it's just that I haven't learned the sword technique that Jingliu taught me before."
Zhou Xingxing chuckled. Anyway, this was a small favor for him, and it would also do Xianzhou a huge favor, so why not?
“If my benefactor wishes to learn, I am ready to teach him anytime.”
Jingliu nodded and said softly.
"Jingyuan, before entering the Netherworld Prison, let me teach my benefactor a sword technique. Is there any problem?"
Then, Jingliu asked Jingyuan.
Unlike when speaking to Stephen Chow, when speaking to Jing Yuan, Jing Liu unconsciously adopted a cold demeanor, perhaps because he had become accustomed to it over the past seven hundred years.
"Of course, no problem. However, you surrendered and were imprisoned in the Dark Prison before because your mind was exhausted. Now that you have sealed your demonic body, you can make other plans."
Jing Yuan shook his head and said.
"hehe..."
Upon hearing this, Jingliu couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
"I committed the sin of falling into demonic possession and harming my fellow countrymen. Although my demonic possession no longer poses a danger, do you, as General Luofu, intend to use your position for personal gain and pardon me?"
"Naturally, it's not in the capacity of General Luofu, but rather I intend to take you to Xuling to meet the Marshal. My mentor was originally a peerless genius with unparalleled swordsmanship, surpassing all others in the Immortal Ship Alliance. His fall into demonic possession was unavoidable. Now that the demonic possession has been eliminated, it would be a pity to imprison you in the Netherworld Prison. Therefore, I would like to ask the Marshal to issue a pardon, giving you a chance to redeem yourself through meritorious service."
Jing Yuan looked at Jing Liu and said, "Now that the three of them have been freed from demonic influence and their heartache has been healed, I really can't bear to see this friendship vanish like smoke."
Jingliu pondered for a while, then nodded.
"You can arrange it."
"it is good."
Upon hearing Jingliu's agreement, Jingyuan smiled.
"I never expected this. I thought today would be the day when the Five Heroes of the Clouds bid farewell forever... Originally, that hatred was the last straw that broke my mind, but now... all that's left is regret."
Jingliu sighed and looked into the distance.
"No feast lasts forever, but there is more than one feast in the world. Danfeng and Yingxing's past actions were indeed disgraceful to the honor of warriors, but now it seems that they were not entirely in vain."
As Zhou Xingxing spoke, everyone's eyes turned to Bai Lu.
Bai Lu was whispering to Qiong when she noticed everyone's gaze and tilted her head, looking puzzled.
Why is everyone looking at me?
"Perhaps so. It's too late to bring up the past now... It's just a pity I didn't prepare a good wine for this gathering. After all, this gathering was supposed to be all bitterness."
Jing Liu withdrew his gaze and spoke to Zhou Xingxing.
"I do have some wine, but it's not anything special."
Zhou Xingxing suddenly remembered that when he was drinking in the lower district of Yalilo, he casually stuffed a basket of wine from the shop into his backpack, but in the end, the three of them got so drunk that they passed out before finishing even one bottle.
"Oh? I didn't expect my benefactor to be so well-prepared. You must have been planning this all along, right?"
Jingliu was somewhat surprised, not expecting that this person had even prepared wine.
"Sir, your foresight is truly remarkable. I'm afraid even Fu Qing would be a step below you. I'm not surprised at all that you were prepared."
Jing Yuan smiled and nodded to Zhou Xingxing to express his gratitude.
"You guys drink this wine; it's a way of saying goodbye to the past and embracing the future."
Stephen Chow took out the wine and distributed a few glasses to everyone.
Ren and Danheng also came up. The two were still quiet and reserved. Ren didn't like to talk, and neither did Danheng. In addition, their memories were fragmented, so they didn't say much throughout the whole process.
“How can this be? If it weren’t for you, Master, the Five Heroes of the Clouds would have already fallen apart today. Moreover, you helped us suppress our demonic bodies. For such kindness, Jingyuan should certainly offer you a toast.”
Jing Yuan chuckled, poured a full glass of wine, and handed it to Zhou Xingxing.
Seeing this, Stephen Chow was extremely helpless. He couldn't refuse the drinks offered by others. He had originally planned to be a witness, but he was dragged into the drinking party.
"What do you want to drink? I want to drink too!"
Seeing this, Qiong also came over.
"We're drinking, what are you kids doing getting involved?"
Stephen Chow waved his hand at Qiong, trying to dismiss her.
"What?! We're the same age! Why can you drink but I can't! I want to drink!"
Seeing this, Qiong persisted.
"Let's give this young lady a drink, as a way of witnessing the ebb and flow of our lives today."
As Jingliu spoke, he handed his wine glass to Qiong.
"Great!"
