Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2685: Chapter 2686: Sword Dao Devours Its Master

Ye Luo couldn’t help but stare, her beauty naturally didn’t need further elaboration, but paired with her aura, her overall attractiveness suddenly increased significantly!

”You... how do you like these few pots of flowers I’ve raised!” Luo Xue said, her face slightly red.

Ye Luo then realized he was a bit rude; she spoke like this just to change the topic.

”Why has your Sword Dao changed like this?” Ye Luo asked in a deep voice.

However, the expression on Luo Xue’s face didn’t change, ”I’m afraid I’m not suited to be a Sword Cultivator. Since that’s the case, I can’t delay the Luo Xue Sword. Once I find a successor, I’ll pass down the Luo Xue Sword!”

She’s actually going to seal the sword!

Generally speaking, Sword Cultivators wouldn’t easily give up their swords, let alone Luo Xue who gave up Sword Dao!

For Sword Cultivators, especially someone like Luo Xue who has cultivated to the point of unity between man and sword, giving up the Sword Dao is tantamount to self-extinction!

If Luo Xue really passes down the Luo Xue Sword, then her life is likely reaching its end.

”Nonsense, how is this acceptable!” Ye Luo immediately frowned; he couldn’t possibly stand by and watch Luo Xue die.

Luo Xue then smiled helplessly, ”You and I are both Sword Cultivators, you should be most aware of my situation. A barrier has formed between me and the Sword Dao, and this barrier can never be repaired! Ultimately, the result will still be a separation between the Sword Dao and me, so rather than that, it’s better for me to let go early!”

Although Ye Luo hasn’t cultivated his own Sword Dao, he understands the details very well.

Everything Luo Xue said is completely true.

But Ye Luo is not rigid; through his cultivation journey until now, he has faced countless moments of life and death! If things followed logical reasoning, he would have perished long ago!

He always believed that regardless of how desperate the situation may be, inevitably there is a ray of hope!

”Your thinking itself is problematic!” Ye Luo suddenly frowned and said.

Luo Xue looked at him in confusion, aware that Ye Luo was trying to comfort her, but given that Sword Dao was once her everything, how could mere words alleviate the barrier?

”Ye Luo, you don’t need to say more. I went to find you earlier, not because I wanted your help, but rather to ask how to live an ordinary mortal life!”

She was born alongside the Luo Xue Sword, a true cultivation prodigy, entirely different from Ye Luo who climbed up slowly and arduously as a cultivator.

Precisely because of this, she comprehended her own Sword Dao, cultivating to the state of unity between man and sword!

As for what an ordinary mortal life is like, she truly doesn’t know!

Yet losing the Sword Dao wouldn’t lead to immediate demise; instead, she could experience a period of ordinary life.

After all, she differs from Ye Luo; Sword Dao constitutes all of her internal strength, whereas Ye Luo, even without the sword, still has the Demon Body, and without the Demon Body, he has the Golden Body...

Ye Luo listened and gently shook his head, ”I said your thinking is problematic!”

”Ye Luo, being able to live an ordinary life for a time is enough for me; after years of either cultivating or battle, I’m truly weary!”

However, though she spoke like this, Ye Luo still keenly captured a hint of reluctance.

”Hear me out first; I think you might have misunderstood something. All along, you have esteemed Sword Dao, respected Sword Dao, even willing to sacrifice your life for Sword Dao; am I wrong?”

Luo Xue blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at Ye Luo with confusion, ”Correct, Sword Cultivators naturally respect Sword Dao; otherwise, where would our strength come from!”

Hearing this, Ye Luo chuckled coldly.

”Since the Sword Dao is cultivated by the Sword Cultivator, naturally it should provide strength for the Sword Cultivator. Otherwise, why would we cultivate Sword Dao? Ultimately, like other Grand Dao, the Sword Dao is merely a path to gain strength, not a shackle to restrain us! It’s like a weapon; if it’s useful to me, I naturally keep it; if useless, I discard it! How dare it turn on its master! Such conduct defies all reason!”

With Ye Luo’s impassioned words, though Luo Xue’s face was calm at the start, towards the end, her expression had become incredibly shocked.

”You... you also count as a Sword Cultivator; how can you say such defiant words!” Luo Xue looked at Ye Luo in disbelief.

This entirely contradicted her inner conviction, akin to speaking disrespectfully towards the Emperor Lord in ancient times, which was a display of defiance!

But Ye Luo, having experienced too many kingdoms and worlds, sees many matters with great clarity.

”How does this count as defiance? Are you saying the Sword Dao isn’t your shackle? If your Sword Dao breaks, then discard it. With your ability, comprehending a new Sword Dao is difficult?”

”This!” Luo Xue hesitated.

If what Ye Luo said is true, to abandon the current Sword Dao and comprehend anew, it might indeed be possible to discover a new Sword Dao.

However, she is unwilling to do so, preferring death over doing so! Even the thought feels like a betrayal against the Luo Xue Sword.

”Even if you don’t wish to abandon your current Sword Dao, it’s not something to fret over; ultimately, it’s your Sword Dao. If you wish it to collapse, then it will collapse; if you don’t, it will stay intact. Have you considered shifting your mindset—view the Sword Dao as a tool, and won’t the barrier in your heart disappear?”

Actually, Ye Luo’s situation can be either significant or minor! Ultimately, it is simply a psychological issue!

It’s her attitude towards the sword that changed, leading somewhat into a state of insanity; in reality, did the sword’s power really change? Actually, not even a bit.

”Ye Luo, don’t speak anymore; let me have some time to calm down!” Luo Xue’s expression suddenly became a bit panicked as she said.

”No, you must overcome this hurdle today; otherwise, you will ultimately be swayed by the Sword Dao!”

Saying this, Ye Luo walked towards her.

”Don’t come over!” Luo Xue suddenly shouted in anger, her eyes crimson, and her aura suddenly turned cold, directing a killing intent at Ye Luo.

”Hmph, it’s indeed the case; you’re somewhat lost in obsession. What unity between man and sword, it’s likely that the sword aims to devour the master, isn’t it!” Ye Luo snorted coldly at once.

”Bastard, I’ll kill you!” she screamed sharply, and the Luo Xue Sword was already slashing down.

This strike was the Luo Xue Sword’s most potent force, Ye Luo’s expression also turned solemn.
