Chapter 1530: Chapter 1530: Extreme Sword Cultivation—A Path Through Slaughter

On the other side, the battle between Elder Yun Yuan and Ouyang Lie also ended in an instant.

Ouyang Lie was already seriously injured.

Xiao Yi’s figure flickered and arrived.

With one sword strike, Ouyang Lie was cut into pieces and died.

The two corpses instantly scattered their qi-blood, transforming into mummies.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi breathed deeply, showing an expression of pleasure and enjoyment.

Zoom... Zoom...

Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon flashed over.

Xiao Yi’s eyes still glowed with a red hue, bloodthirsty and crimson.

The two frowned, holding their swords, not yet retracting them.

”It seems we still need another fight,” Elder Yun Yuan said solemnly.

”Hmm.” Hui Deacon nodded.

The two simultaneously looked at Xiao Yi, squinting their eyes.

”Kid, I urge you not to resist,” Elder Yun Yuan sneered, ”this way, you can avoid some suffering.”

Upon hearing this, Hui Deacon rolled his eyes at Elder Yun Yuan, then looked at Xiao Yi.

”In this manic state, if we don’t knock you out, I’m afraid you’ll even kill us both.”

”Take a nap.”

With that, the two simultaneously drew their swords to attack.

At that moment, Xiao Yi’s blood-red eyes suddenly widened.

The next second, the red hue in his eyes completely vanished.

The eyes returned to clarity.

As usual, resolute, clear, bright.

”What are you two doing?” Xiao Yi looked at the two who had drawn their swords and was startled.

”Hmm?” Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon timely sheathed their swords.

Their faces changed, eyes widened in shock as they looked at Xiao Yi.

”Kid, you woke up?” Elder Yun Yuan’s tone was full of surprise.

Hui Deacon didn’t speak, but his eyes also carried surprise.

Xiao Yi pursed his lips, ”If I didn’t wake up, wouldn’t it be a waste to get beaten up by you two?”

”Do you take me for a fool?”

”Uh, this...” Elder Yun Yuan was stunned.

”No way, how could you possibly wake up?”

”Kid, don’t move.” Hui Deacon suddenly extended his finger, pointing directly at Xiao Yi’s forehead.

Xiao Yi was startled at first, but out of trust in Hui Deacon, he didn’t make any moves.

Hui Deacon’s fingertip touched Xiao Yi’s forehead, blood-colored energy surged at the fingertip.

”This kid directly passed the Path of Slaughter.” Hui Deacon exclaimed.

”What?” Elder Yun Yuan’s body shook.

”What Path of Slaughter?” Xiao Yi frowned.

Saying this, Xiao Yi’s gaze scanned the surroundings.

Around him, corpses littered the field.

Among the thousands of sword cultivators who joined the siege, including the Qi Sect Master, all were dead, transformed into mummies.

”Did I kill them?” Xiao Yi frowned.

Xiao Yi uttered a soft ”eh,” and then instantly reacted.

Earlier, in his manic state, although unclear of the events, he knew he had lost himself.

After all, such a loss of self-control, filled with bloodlust, he had experienced once at Black Poison Villa.

Images of slaughter flooded his mind.

Xiao Yi frowned.

”How could this happen?” Xiao Yi’s expression was somewhat grim.

His expression wasn’t grim because he killed everyone.

These people were all enemies. Xiao Yi’s killing them didn’t stir any emotions within him.

This cruel world is survival of the fittest.

They wanted to kill him for treasures, he killed them all, that’s all.

Xiao Yi’s grim expression was due to him unknowingly falling into madness.

For a martial artist, this is certainly not good; especially for an independent sword cultivator like him who needs to venture everywhere, it’s a definite bad sign.

If one cannot control their own mind, it is certainly a sad thing.

Xiao Yi would never allow himself to fall into such a situation.

Originally, he strongly rejected the absorption of qi-blood power because it would drive him insane, losing his rationality.

Yet months ago, while in the Golden Light Dangerous Land, he had changed his mind.

He no longer rejected the absorption of qi-blood power because he knew clearly that as long as his sword heart was solid enough, it wouldn’t have such an effect.

The sword heart, strong as a rock, regardless of how the qi-blood power affects, wouldn’t rob him of control over his mind.

Particularly during his journey in Sword Domain, his Sword Dao level had undoubtedly increased significantly.

His sword heart was further reinforced during Life of Enlightenment, becoming extremely solid due to Senior Zhanxing’s ”three thousand years of isolation.”

Xiao Yi was extremely confident that even if the Blood Pearl within him fully erupted, he could defend his sword heart and not be affected by it.

Yet earlier, it was just casual fighting; a moment of bloodlust led to a loss of rationality?

”This is impossible.” Xiao Yi frowned.

”Impossible what?” Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon asked.

Xiao Yi pondered briefly, but eventually spoke the truth, ”After passing the first layer space of the Sword Emperor Stele, my sword heart became incredibly solid.”

”Normally, my cultivation of qi and blood dao wouldn’t be affected.”

”I’m even certain that even if the qi and blood dao reaches extremely profound levels in the future, it would not disturb my sword heart.”

”But earlier, just by fighting fiercely, I lost my rationality?”

Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon chuckled, ”You’re dwelling on this matter.”

”Let me tell you this, earlier, even if you lost rationality.”

”Yet this has nothing to do with your being, no, it should be said, it wasn’t the influence of qi-blood power.”

”Rather...”

Elder Yun Yuan paused, his expression suddenly complicated.

Hui Deacon shook his head, ”Yun Yuan, there’s nothing to dwell on; the matter from years ago, we’ve moved beyond.”

Elder Yun Yuan nodded and looked at Xiao Yi, saying, ”What affected you, wasn’t qi-blood power, but your Sword Dao.”

”Sword Dao?” Xiao Yi frowned.

”Hmm.” Elder Yun Yuan nodded, ”It’s a barrier, one that every extreme sword cultivator or any sword cultivator must go through.”

”I don’t understand.” Xiao Yi said succinctly.

Elder Yun Yuan replied, ”In the cultivation of Sword Dao, there is this saying.”

”To achieve the extreme, one must go through slaughter.”

”It’s an obstacle on the path of sword dao, which may suddenly transform the path into life-and-death.”

”Life-and-death path?” Xiao Yi frowned deeply.

Elder Yun Yuan said solemnly, ”Since cultivating to the extreme, there must be slaughter; without slaughter, how can there be talk of extremes?”

”Slaughter, whether external objects or oneself.”

”External objects, needless to say; oneself, is you.”

Elder Yun Yuan stared at Xiao Yi, ”If the sword in your hand, the sword edge points to your own throat, your own head, do you dare to swing the sword?”

”Even if you have that courage, swinging it doesn’t mean you can certainly pass this barrier.”

”It’s possible, swinging the sword, might not only fail to pass the Path of Slaughter, but even lead to your death.”

”So, this sword, do you swing it?”

”This Path of Slaughter is extremely challenging.”

”I was just traversing the Path of Slaughter earlier?” Xiao Yi was taken aback.

”Indeed.” Elder Yun Yuan nodded, ”To cultivate to the extreme, one must go through slaughter, so it’s something every extreme sword cultivator inevitably experiences.”

”And even for ordinary sword cultivators, when their level reaches high enough, they will still undergo the same.”

”After all, even if sword cultivators don’t pursue the extreme; yet as they walk further on the sword dao path one day, they eventually head toward the path of extremes.”

This is said to be an inevitable experience for all sword cultivators.
