Chapter 70
Somewhere on the outskirt of Royal Capital,
Inside a house, there were dozens of corpses lying around. Each one of them was cruelly murdered. Inside the hall, there were three people. One of them was lying on the ground, not dead.
The other two were standing in front of him. One of them was a middle-aged woman while another one was none other than Po. He looked at the middle-aged man and stomped his face.
“How does it feel to get stomped by the bastard?”
Unfortunately, Po didn’t get any answer. The middle-aged man wasn’t dead but he was on the verge of death. Next to Po, the middle-aged man had no emotions, pity, or love for the man on the ground even though he was her husband.
She can’t love him, especially after what he did to his own son. She was just a maid and living a life as a maid until this man knocked her out. Bearing his child, she thought her life would change so she decided to give birth to him.
But, being born with talent was also a curse. This man had other women and none of them liked her and her son. They torture both of them and the man didn’t even raise his eyes.
Even though his son was one of the most talented people in the entire kingdom. He didn’t care. Because he was the son of a maid.
Po kicked his face and shouted “I want to torture you. I want to burn your son. I want to drain your blood. I want to feed you to the dogs.”
But suddenly, he stopped his loud voice and said “But, I decided not to. Because this is the path I have chosen for myself. I have killed my family. I can’t kill my mother but.”
He turned around and looked at his mother. There was a bright smile on his face as he asked.
“Mother, would you do something for me?”
When he asked with that gentle smile, his mother couldn’t say no. She didn’t even ask what does he wants her to do. She simply nodded her head.
“Mother, I want to sever our mother-son relationship.”
But, when she heard that, her eyes widened. Tears fell down her eyes as she didn’t understand why. He kept his gentle smile and said “To sever our relationship, I would’ve to kill you.”
“But, you are my mother. I can’t bear to kill you.”
His words only made her expression worse. She kept crying more. But, he kept his smile.
“Originally, I thought after I save you, we can live as a mother and son with my master but it turns out he was a beast. He wanted to devour you and your bloodline. I was wrong. I was wrong about this world but I can’t kill him.”
“Not because he is strong. He is weak but he is my master. He was there for me when my own father gave up on me. I can’t kill him nor I can break my promise.”
“But, you are my mother. So, I can’t give you to him for his beastly purpose.”
The woman kept crying while Po finally turned around. Two lines of tears fell down his cheeks.
“Mother, from now on, I am not your son. I am not a filial son. He promised me that even if he is going to use you, he will keep you safe. Goodbye!”
At this moment, the woman tried to catch him but he had already left. Outside the door, there was a middle-aged man standing silently. He was none other than Elder Zhang.
Po turned his head at him and said “Once her bloodline is awakened, she will change drastically. I don’t know how are you planning to keep her, no, I don’t care if you keep her or not.”
“Three times! I will save your life three times for everything you have done for me. From now on, you and I are just strangers.”
After he left, Elder Zhang glanced at his back.
Cultivation? After hearing the tragic fate of his mother, he broke his cultivation. He doesn’t have any cultivation now.
Talent? After breaking his bond with everyone, there will be no limit to his talent.
Strength? Even though Po broke his cultivation, and crippled himself, nobody under Law Condensation Realm can defeat him.
Elder Zhang sighed and walked inside the room. He looked at the dying body of the man and stomped his foot on his head. This time he stomped so hard that he broke his skull.
Finally, he looked at the woman who was weeping on the floor. He walked up to her and asked “Do you hate me?”
The woman slowly wiped her tears and looked at him.
Did she hate him? Yes but also no! She has no right to hate him. In fact, he is the sole reason why her son was able to free her and himself. He was the reason why her son was now able to take his revenge.
But, he was also the sole reason why her son sever a relationship with her. Even though they were living life as slaves, they were still mother and son. Their bond was still strong.
But, this man changed her son. No, he forced her son to change. She understood her fate. She was bound to suffer after this and he can’t watch her suffer. But, he can’t kill his own savior either.
At this moment, she slowly started realizing what he did was the best thing for him. Slowly, her lips curled. She realized that she shouldn’t cry. Because if she cries, it means she wanted her son to suffer.
But, if she laughs, if she gets happy, it means she has set her son free. Now, he will no longer have any worries, any disturbance, or any ties.
“It seems you understand the truth.” Elder Zhang softly spoke. The woman looked at him and nodded her head.
Elder Zhang continued “Originally, I planned to keep this a secret from him. After all, he can’t bear to watch his own mother in pain. But, I also knew that one day he will eventually find out.”
“He was my first and only disciple. I didn’t want him to hate me. So, I found him an inheritance. I don’t need his help. I need your help to accomplish my dream. So, I asked him to sever all relationships and focus on that inheritance.” 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m
“This way, he will be free and I will be able to accomplish my dream.” Saying so, he caught her and suddenly disappeared. The next moment, he appeared next to a bed inside a room. There was a small lamp burning on the side.
He looks at the woman in his arm and tears her clothes. She doesn’t resist. She couldn’t resist.
At this moment, a small red symbol appears on Elder Zhang’s forehead.
‘Seal of the Demon God!’
‘It’s time for you to awaken. Consume the power of this witch and awaken your true form. Give me the power of Demon God, and I will reestablish the Demon Sect in this world.’
Saying so, he pulled her into the bed and slowly starts tasting her. He removes his clothes and at this moment, two lines of tears flow from her eyes. A strange power awakens inside her but she couldn’t feel anything.
Yes, the moment he starts dual cultivating with her, she stops feeling anything, no pain, no love, no joy, at this moment, she had no feelings or emotions.
She became someone completely different. At the same time, Elder Zhang’s cultivation started soaring and the entire room got filled with strange black qi.
………
Somewhere far from the Royal Capital,
A young man with a sword sheath on his waist started his new journey. From this moment on, he has no family, no parents, no friends, no master, and not even a lover.
All he has is a sword. But, that sword is enough. Because all he needs is a sword. He wants to find the peak of the sword. And, the only path he has is the path of ruthlessness.
Don’t be ruthless to others. Be ruthless to yourself! No relationship, no emotions, no joy, no pain, no suffering, except for the sword, there should be nothing in his heart.
As he walked, his sword cultivation soared. Yes, he didn’t cultivate. He didn’t train. He just kept his heart on the sword. Everything was a sword. The road he walked on was a sword.
The people he met were swords. The place where he stayed was a sword. For him, everything was a sword. And, whenever someone fights him, everything becomes a sword and fights for him.
After walking for a long time, he eventually reaches the giant mountain on the eastern side. He walks all the way up to the mountain. There was nothing around. But when he reached the top of the mountain, stood in front of an old man meditating.
“What do you seek?”
The old man asked while keeping his mouth shut.
Po slowly took out the sword from his sheath and bowed. When he raised his head, there was nothing but pure confidence in his eyes. This confidence wasn’t his pride or arrogance but his belief.
“I seek death.”
