Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

Wisps of red mist came from the void. Although they were only wisps, there were so many of them that they occupied the entire lake in a blink of an eye.

Blown by the strong wind, the red mist quickly covered the golden sky, obscuring all the golden light in the sky, leaving no trace of it visible.

The entire Heart Lake was plunged into darkness in an instant, leaving only the pitch-black sword heart, emitting a strange black light in the darkness.

The black light was particularly magical. It was like a whirlpool, sucking people's eyes directly in. Even in the endless darkness, people could see it at a glance.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the ripples in the heart lake became more and more numerous and larger, until waves arose, and finally wisps of black air floated above the heart lake.

The red fog and black air intertwined together, and as the strands of fog entangled, the red fog was gradually swallowed by the black air.

However, there were still some people who managed to escape and came into contact with Jiang Han's consciousness while floating.

As soon as they came into contact with Jiang Han, they excitedly merged into him, as if there was something delicious there that was attracting them.

Immediately afterwards, endless black air rose into the sky and instantly submerged Jiang Han completely, leaving no trace of him.

The sword spirit was watching nervously from a distance.

"To absorb such a huge amount of demonic murderous energy in such a short period of time, without a willpower far superior to that of an ordinary person, one would surely be corrupted by the killing intent, lose one's own mind, and become a puppet who knows only killing."

"Jiang Han, can he bear it?"

The sword spirit's worries were not unreasonable. If someone else were to be overwhelmed by such a huge murderous intent, they would have probably lost their minds long ago.

But Jiang Han was unaware of this. He allowed the huge demonic murderous intent to overwhelm him and then merge into his body and disappear.

He seemed unaware of this and slowly extended his hand towards the dark sword heart.

"Why do you want to become stronger?"

The confusion in his eyes quickly dissipated, and scenes flashed through his mind.

The waves on the lake were surging, but at this moment, they suddenly stopped, as if waiting for his decision.

His expression kept changing, showing joy, sadness, hatred and helplessness.

A hint of red quietly appeared in his eyes, but the next moment, it was quickly dispersed by the boundless black.

Waves of painful memories madly attacked his mind, and Jiang Han's face gradually became ferocious. He had dreamed of returning to Lingtian Sect countless times and experiencing the countless pains again.

A hatred so strong that it became tangible turned into black gas and rose into the sky, breaking through the red fog and violently smashing into the golden sky.

"Is this... resentment?"

The sword spirit's brows were tightly furrowed. This kind of resentment had already solidified into substance. Even in the place where immortals and demons fought, such a concentration of resentment had never been seen.

She didn't understand what Jiang Han had experienced. How could he have accumulated so much resentment in just eighteen years of his life?

If these grievances are not vented, it will definitely have a huge impact on his future path.

Under the impact of resentment, the sky gradually began to appear with golden lines, and a ray of golden light quietly appeared and quietly stopped above his head.

It was like a big hand stroking his hair, and ethereal voices appeared in his heart, gradually melting the ferocity on his face.

The memory continued to move forward until it finally stopped at the moment when his sword heart was just beginning to solidify.

That was in the town at the foot of the Zixiao Sword Sect mountain. He and Du Yucheng were frantically shopping.

No matter whether it was expensive or cheap, whether he needed it or not, as long as he wanted to buy it, he would buy it all, and he would not stop until the entire storage bag was full.

Those were the things he had longed for but could never get.

Now that he has the opportunity, he is frantically trying to make up for his childhood regrets.

When his previous desire was finally realized, his sword heart also took shape at this moment.

"If I have to say what my true heart is..." Jiang Han murmured softly.

His right hand finally touched the hilt of the sword, and a bit of chill rushed into his heart, causing him to subconsciously clench his right hand.

"I just want to live like a normal person."

"Is this difficult?" he asked himself.

“It’s really hard,” he replied.

"Time and again, they stopped me from walking towards the light, and time and again, they sealed me in the endless devil's abyss..."

"They tortured me until my body was covered in wounds and I died miserably..."

The two voices gradually intertwined and merged, until finally, they became the only voice.

"As long as they are around, I will never be able to truly be myself. As long as they are around, I can only live under their shadow."

"If I want to be my true self, if I want to stop feeling sad about my past, if I want my future self to truly live, then there is only one path for me now."

The calm lake surface began to surge again, and the surging water created countless exciting waves.

"Blood debts can only be repaid with blood. I will settle the past karma!"

Jiang Han slowly tightened his right hand, and the sword heart released endless black light, illuminating the entire heart lake.

Wherever the black light passed, there was a crisp crackling sound. Until the black light occupied every inch of the lake surface, the heaven and earth shook violently, and a deafening roar exploded.

"boom--!"

Huge waves rose from the lake, and the black water rushed into the sky, forming a huge whirlpool, crashing straight into Jiang Han.

But the moment it touched his body, it was as if swallowed alive by an invisible black hole and disappeared into thin air.

The blur on Kenshin's surface trembled violently, as if it was about to collapse at the next moment, but it seemed that something was still missing, preventing it from breaking through that limit.

At this moment, a thick red mist appeared out of nowhere, and the moment it appeared, it rushed straight towards Jiang Han.

Its force was so fierce, like a raging flood, that it instantly enveloped Jiang Han.

But in the next moment, a suction force arose out of nowhere, like a whale sucking water, swallowing all the red mist rushing in into the sword heart.

Kenshin was like a greedy giant beast, eating quickly and eagerly. The red mist was swallowed into his stomach before he could even chew it.

The red mist and black air intertwined together. Jiang Han stood in the center of the two, but he seemed not to be affected at all, his eyes extremely calm.

However, he still felt a little strange. What exactly were these red fog and black air? Why had he never seen them before?

It was not until a long time later that Kenshin suddenly felt a shock, and the devouring force suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, the blur that had been covering its surface suddenly stopped as if it had been immobilized by a spell, and then, like a mirror, it shattered!

"Qiang——!"

The sound of a sword echoed through the heart lake, carrying a sense of wantonness, as if a demon god that had been imprisoned for ten thousand years had finally broken free from its restraints.

But the voice was quite cold. Just hearing it could make people feel cold all over and a sense of chillness suddenly appeared in their hearts.

Endless black energy rose from the heart of the sword and penetrated the sky. Even the entire heart lake trembled slightly under this condensed sword energy.
