Chapter 696
Chu Yang muttered to himself for a long time . Then, he suddenly felt that he had nothing to say .
Chu Yang was facing a Devil King whose cultivation was far greater than his, and who had experienced far greater miseries than him . So, what could Chu Yang possibly say to him?
He used to believe that his own bitter experiences were tragic enough . But, his experiences were still somehow the consequences of his actions .
He hadn't thought that a legend like this Devil King would've gone through such things . It had been a completely unexpected misfortune… His entire community had disappeared altogether . And, their disappearing was an unfathomable mystery that had added up to his grief .
[I've merely taken a rebirth . On the other hand, this guy has been aggrieved for one-hundred-thousand years . He has now an opportunity to free himself from the misery . However, his soul embryo has been occupied by a new soul…]
A long while passed . Then, Chu Yang bitterly smiled, "These bitter experiences of yours… leave me very… speechless . They are so tragic that one can't even sympathize with you . "
Tan Tan mischievously laughed . "I'm not complaining about anything . And, I don't want you to think that I'm pitiful . It's just that I think that my abilities aren't as good as that man's . " He ferociously laughed his heart out . Then, he shouted, "My abilities aren't as good as that man's . So, I got what I deserved . "
Chu Yang remained speechless .
These words were such that one could neither oppose nor favor them . Therefore, one could only remain speechless .
A long while passed . Then, Chu Yang said, "Your style dictates that . Perhaps… even with a man like that, you would have still lost by your hands . "
"Why?" Tan Tan raised his eyebrows .
"It's because you don't leave a way for others . You block the space for others to respond beforehand . So, others can only listen to what you say . They don't get any chance to express their views when they listen to you . You already know the intentions of the other person in certain cases . But, you unconsciously make an impasse in some other cases . "
Chu Yang slightly smiled .
He had obviously made an analysis from Tan Tan's words that this guy wouldn't leave the slightest room for dialog .
People could only sigh on listening to his words . They couldn't say anything . They wouldn't know how to reply to him .
Chu Yang had seen such a man for the first time in both his lives .
This wasn't overbearing… It was biased .
Chu Yang had thought that Tan Tan would either fail to acknowledge these words or get angry after listening to these words . He hadn't thought that Tan Tan would deeply ponder for a moment after listening to them . Tan Tan nodded after a long time, and said, "What you've said is right . "
He smiled, "This is my nature . I don't give people leeway to express anything . He-he . However, would it still be me if I were to leave room for everyone to interfere?"
Chu Yang couldn't help but smile .
These words could make people feel strange . They wouldn't get any space to interrupt him .
"We should now discuss about the grievances between us . " Suddenly, the slight smiling expression vanished from Tan Tan's face . It then got replaced by a desolate and bleak expression .
"Grievances between us," Chu Yang nodded, "Well, there are indeed grievances between us .
"It doesn't matter what you say . It doesn't matter for how long you've suffered for this body… This body belongs to my brother . And, he belongs to this world . This is a fact… You can't deny this . "
Tan Tan waved his hand . "This body will be his later on . His strength isn't even near the amount required to make me completely awaken… or to let me completely occupy this body . Then, what are you afraid of?
"Moreover, he has begun to read my memory after getting hit by the Five Poisonous Reincarnation Smokes a while ago . So, he'll slowly regain my memories . This will be highly beneficial in increasing his strength . Then, what aren't you satisfied with?"
Chu Yang remained silent for a while, and then said, "Then, when would you be able to completely awaken?"
Tan Tan remained silent, and then said, "Maybe, I'll have to wait for him to become a ninth-grade Saint Level Expert… or above . "
"Supreme?" Chu Yang blurted out .
"Maybe, yes . " Tan Tan contained a trace of bitterness and pain in the corner of his mouth .
"Both of our souls will get fused and become one only when he can bear the full impact of the trace of my soul . He'll have memories of both the lives at that time .
"He won't erase me, and I won't erase him!" Tan Tan said using his rare solemn voice, "You don't need to be worried for him!"
Chu Yang heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "So, that's how it is . "
He was still somewhat doubtful in his heart . But, he had no other choice but to believe him for the time being .
It was because Chu Yang didn't know if there was any other way to deal with the situation .
Anyway, he had gotten temporarily relieved from his worry about Tan Tan's safety .
"As for you and I…" Tan Tan said, "You already know that the Nine Tribulations Sword in your Dantian has been personally created by the man who had destroyed me . And, the mission of you so-called Masters of Nine Tribulations Sword has been given to you all by that man .
"In other words, you're a descendent of that man… the man who had destroyed me in the past . "
Tan Tan coldly smiled, and said, "Therefore, we are enemies . And, we'll have a decisive battle sooner or later . This is beyond doubt!"
Chu Yang bitterly smiled, "You think that what you've said is fair? You've occupied my brother's body, and you want to have a decisive battle with me? How could I possibly injure his body for real? Decisive battle between experts only needs a moment of hesitation to cause a cruel death . And, you want to have a decisive battle with me?"
"Therefore, I'm giving you time . I'll let you sufficiently grow . " Tan Tan said, "I'm talking to you this time . It's not to set any agreement with you to have a fight after hundreds and thousands of years . Instead, it is to remind you one thing… Don't make my one-hundred-thousand years of wait go to waste . "
"Don't make my one-hundred-thousand years of wait go to waste?" Chu Yang was stunned .
"I've had faith that I'll take revenge over the last hundred-thousand years!" A black flame ignited in Tan Tan's pupils . It felt as if his own soul had flared up .
"I'll never let the successor of that person live in this world . . . You can live on until I don't awaken completely . But, Master of Nine Tribulations Sword… I won't let you exist in this world after that . "
Tan Tan laughed out loud, "I'm telling you this now . I'm not even worried that you'll destroy this body before I completely awaken . " He paused for a while, and then continued, "You and I can't exist under the same sky . But, I'm very relieved . "
Chu Yang forced a smile . [Destroy this body before you awaken? Are you kidding me? Wouldn't it be destroying Tan Tan? Moreover, wouldn't it be destroying my master Meng Chao Ran?]
[How can I do it?]
"Rest assured . There's still time for that future matter . It isn't necessary that I'll be defeated by you in our battle when that time comes . " Chu Yang faintly smiled and said, "But… I hope that you'd be able to endure the blow if you completely awaken and get defeated by me when the time comes . You are awakening after a hundred-thousand years . And, you've endured a lot already . So, I'm afraid that it would be hard for you to deal with it in case you get defeated by my hands when the time comes . "
Tan Tan sneered . He was just about to speak . But, Chu Yang interrupted him, and said, "You know it in your heart that it is very much possible . "
Tan Tan remained silent for a long time… The ridiculing expression on his face had disappeared . He then said, "No one could defeat me in my life except for that man . So, I believe that it would be a wonderful thing that I would greatly cherish if you were to casually defeat me . "
Chu Yang smiled, "I believe that you won't be disappointed . "
Tan Tan laughed heartily .
A long time passed . Then, he stopped laughing, and said, "I want to remind you of one more thing beside this matter . "
Chu Yang said, "What thing?"
"That creator of the Nine Tribulations Sword had destroyed so many living beings at that time . So, it had given birth to an extreme resentment… The departed spirits have remained in resentment for all these years . And, the Nine Tribulations Sword is needed to resolve their resentment . And, this has been the true mission of all the previous Masters of Nine Tribulations Sword .
"I don't know much about this . But, that man probably wouldn't have created the Nine Tribulations Sword just for fun . He could destroy millions and billions of lives with just a flick of his hand . So, it's most likely that he wouldn't care whether the survivors would be able to live peacefully . And, he obviously wouldn't care about the happiness of the living . Then, why do Masters of Nine Tribulations Sword appear? This is something worth pondering over . "
Tan Tan said with a smile, "You better be careful . No one would be able to kill me after I awaken!"
Chu Yang remained silent for a while, and then said, "Many thanks for the heads up . "
Tan Tan smiled, "You don't need to thank me since you're that man's successor . He has passed down the Nine Tribulations Sword . So, he certainly must have a purpose and a plan . And, destroying his plan would make me feel very comfortable… It would make me the happiest!"
Chu Yang couldn't help but smile .
Tan Tan crossed his hands behind his back . He still stood tall in the void . He slowly said with a little uncertainty, "…also… one more thing…"
Chu Yang said, "There's still more?"
"It is about the major races . All of the communities had disappeared together ninety-thousand years ago . All the living beings had died . Tens of millions of people had died . However, the bloodlines of these great races are still spread in the human world . Some people will inevitably emerge in accordance with destiny when the time of crisis comes . If you meet them… If you meet them…"
He had said these words twice . He then forced a smile, and shook his head . He said, "Everything works according to fate . It doesn't matter whether you meet them or not . You have your principles of action, and fundamentals of life . I'll just leave you alone . "
Chu Yang insipidly said, "Oh . " He then hurriedly pondered in his heart, [Could it be that other ethnic races still exist in this world?]
"I had originally thought that I had a lot to tell you . But, I've found that there isn't much to tell after I've talked to you . " Tan Tan unhurriedly smiled . "I'm done talking . "
Chu Yang remained silent for a while, and then said, "You told me these many things . I only want to tell you one thing . I'll kill you no matter what if my brother meets any accident!"
Tan Tan laughed heartily .
Then, the two came back . The brothers had been anxiously waiting for them .
Mo Tian Ji's caravan had finally arrived here after so long .
Chu Yang got to know that Mo Tian Ji had suddenly lost consciousness after he had left . And, Mo Tian Ji had been unconscious since then . This had caused an endless panic among his troops .
Chu Yang was startled in his heart . He quickly walked in the tent, and looked . He saw that Mo Tian Ji had tightly shut his eyes . And, he was lying unconscious on a soft couch . There was still a fresh stain of blood on the corner of his mouth .
"What happened?" Chu Yang raised his head, and suddenly asked .
"We don't know . Clan Lord suddenly became like this . " Second Elder of Mo Clan said, "A strange phenomenon had occurred in the sky after you had left earlier… Clan Lord had suddenly felt sword-light soaring into the sky…
"Then, he took out seven Purple Crystals . He seemed to be foretelling…" Second Elder tightly wrinkled his brows . He then anxiously said, "But, I don't know why the seven purple crystals suddenly got crushed and changed into dust . After that, the Clan Lord only said a few words, and then he lost consciousness . "
"What words?" Chu Yang was burning with impatience as he asked .
Second Elder said, "Clan Lord's complexion was ugly at that time . He then suddenly started to speak senselessly, 'The heaven's design is in chaos… Sword heart is broken . The Lake of Despair doesn't have the other shore . How can this be? How can this be?' Then, he fainted, and didn't wake up again . "
Chu Yang was shocked in his heart . His face had turned as white as paper .
