Danwu Refining Spirit

Chapter 51 Actually, I am a Mind Master

Tie Changqing suddenly hated himself. If he had known this would happen, he would have preferred to self-destruct back then, which would have given him a better chance of dragging his opponent down with him. But now, his Yuan energy was almost depleted, and even self-destruction had become a pipe dream.

After several days of fleeing, most of his Yuan energy had been depleted, with only one or two acupoints still retaining some.

He had been holding back, and this Yuan energy was meant to save his life; he would not use it lightly until the very last moment.

Although his current wretched appearance has been exposed to everyone, damaging the glorious image of Young Master Changqing, he is finally nearing the end of his ordeal.

Climb over there; once you cross that yellow line, you've already won more than half the battle!

Seeing that Xiao Chong's broken sword was mercilessly slashing towards him, Tie Changqing knew he could no longer hesitate.

Forget about face, forget about dignity; none of that matters as much as my life. If I kill Xiao Chong after we get out, I can regain my face and rebuild my dignity. But if I lose my life, I'll truly have nothing left!

Driven by an intense will to survive, Tie Changqing unleashed all the remaining Yuan energy within his body, leaping forward like a gecko with a severed tail.

"call!"

Xiao Chong's broken sword fell, raising a cloud of dust, but he missed. When he looked up, Tie Changqing was already two zhang away from him.

"We absolutely cannot let him create the Soul-Severing Ridge!" Xiao Chong leaped up and slashed with his sword again.

"when!"

Tie Changqing swung his spear forcefully behind him, narrowly deflecting the broken sword. Using the rebound force, he rolled forward, now less than five zhang away from the yellow line.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

The broken sword continued its relentless attacks, while the spear parried left and right. Tie Changqing was struck again in his intact leg, but his body moved forward a distance once more.

Two more zhang!

Only two zhang!

The god of fate is already beckoning to me!

Sensing that dawn was just around the corner, Tie Changqing began to show a hint of smugness on his face!

"We must not let all our efforts be in vain!"

Xiao Chong shouted and soared into the sky like a roc spreading its wings, rushing straight at Tie Changqing's head with his sword.

This was a fatal blow!

The blade moved like a dragon, its momentum like a rainbow! It sealed off all of Tie Changqing's escape routes!

With the infusion of Yuan energy, a glimmer of light wandered uncertainly along the blade, making the twilight even darker!

Tie Changqing had no choice but to take the hit!

He mustered his last bit of energy and raised his spear to meet the blade.

"Hall!"

With a deafening roar, a long spear and a broken sword clashed together without any fancy moves.

Xiao Chong landed with a somersault, just one step away from the yellow line. Tie Changqing was sent flying with a heavy blow, his one leg already past the yellow line.

Both men were empty-handed; their spears and broken swords lay outside the yellow line, only two steps away.

Tie Changqing was breathing heavily, feeling that it was extremely difficult to even lift a finger, but his face became indescribably ferocious.

"Hahaha!"

Tie Changqing burst into wild laughter, his voice hoarse as he shouted, "Xiao Chong, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show them to me! But the humiliation I've caused you today, I will make you pay a hundredfold in the future!"

Xiao Chong stood quietly in front of Tie Changqing, his eyes closed, motionless.

"Come on, charge at me and hit me hard! Without weapons, with my peak Martial Apprentice physique, let's see what you can do to me!"

Tie Changqing roared madly, his face contorted with rage: "Punch me? Kick me? Or bite me? Just endure this final onslaught, and once you've recovered your strength, I'll make you..."

Just then, Xiao Chong suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly, as if they could steal one's soul.

Tie Changqing's voice went hoarse, like a rooster with a cut on its neck, unable to crow anymore.

Under his terrified gaze, Xiao Chong stretched out his arm, reached out his hand, and then beckoned his palm toward the area outside the yellow line.

The broken knife lying on the ground outside the yellow line suddenly moved, and then slowly moved towards the yellow line.

What kind of technique is this? Telekinesis? No, that can't be done even in my prime, and he's only just entered the Martial Apprentice realm!

Oh my god, this is amazing! But this isn't what I wanted to see, is it?

Seeing this unbelievable scene, Tie Changqing's mind was completely in chaos.

Xiao Chong didn't even bother to look at Tie Changqing, who had a crazed expression. He simply clasped his five fingers together and made a grasping motion in the air.

Even more miraculously, the broken sword on the ground seemed to sprout wings and gently flew into Xiao Chong's hand.

With the broken sword in hand, Xiao Chong suddenly smiled at Tie Changqing, whose eyes were wide open: "I forgot to tell you, I'm not only a martial artist, but also a mind master. And just yesterday, I broke through to the second rank, and the ability to control objects is exactly what a second-rank mind master possesses."

In this day and age, how can anyone still cultivate both martial arts and mind control at the same time? It's absolutely infuriating!

Tie Changqing was already out of his mind. His eyelids blinked rapidly, and a gurgling sound came from his throat as he coughed up a mouthful of phlegm.

It's time to end it all. Xiao Chong slowly squatted down, and with a flash of light, his blade slit Tie Changqing's throat.

"Low...Low..."

Tie Changqing's chest heaved rapidly, and a sound like a broken bellows came from his throat. He struggled to stretch out his two mud-covered hands, gripping his neck tightly, as if trying to struggle a few more times.

These final few blows, however, hastened his death. Blood gushed from his neck like it was free, instantly soaking his chest bra, and Tie Changqing finally breathed his last.

"Changqing..."

At the same time, Tie Mo, the head of the Tie family, cried out in grief, tears streaming down his face. Overwhelmed with emotion, he fainted.

"Master of the family! Master of the family..."

The disciples of the Tie family exclaimed and rushed forward, some clutching their chests, some pounding their backs, and some pinching their philtrum.

As they were busy with their tasks, another voice rang out in the vast twilight.

"Yesterday's events are like yesterday's death; today's events are like today's birth..."

Xiao Chong chanted lines no one had ever heard before as he slowly crossed the yellow line and left Broken Soul Ridge. His solemn demeanor and dignified appearance resembled that of a great and virtuous monk.

It was profound and mysterious; in just a few words, it seemed as if they had grasped the ultimate truth about life and death. Apart from the Tie family members who were still immersed in grief, the Xiao and Situ families listened with rapt attention.

But soon, the musical style changed.

"Life is short, like morning dew. Heaven is jealous of talent, how hateful and terrifying. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. May your life be everlasting, your voice and image forever etched in our memories. Amen..."

Everyone was startled and quickly looked up, only to find that the expression on Da De's face had completely changed, and there was no trace of compassion left.
