Fantasy: I'll do the hacking, and you'll suffer the side effects!

197: The desire for revenge! How could a person born with a sword heart become a demon?“Whether you believe it or not is up to your own will, Qin Han. If this humble monk had the power to force people into Buddhism, then why would I be the only one in Eastern Que Spirit State who believes in Buddhism now?” Jiekong said.

“Then what about the Path of Slaughter? Did he comprehend that on his own as well?” Qin Han questioned.

“There are countless phantoms within the Floating Pagoda. The Dao he comprehended himself by delving deep into the pagoda has nothing to do with this humble monk,” Jiekong replied.

“You have a glib tongue. This is the first time I’ve heard of someone becoming demonized after comprehending a Dao. Chu Jiangnian has always been righteous and never controlled by anyone!” Qin Han had lost his patience.

He wanted to personally pull Chu Jiangnian back from the abyss.

“The welcoming gift has been presented. Qin Han, if you wish to save him, please do so at your convenience.” Jiekong intended to wash his hands of the matter.

“Good, today I will let you clearly see a person’s true nature!”

Qin Han absolutely did not believe that Chu Jiangnian, who had always valued loyalty, would do anything harmful or betray his brother and attack him.

The so-called demonization was definitely Jiekong’s doing in secret.

At this thought, the anger in Qin Han’s chest surged, and he charged out with his spear!

“Wake up!”

All the immense power was poured into the Nether God Spear, the Barbarian God Ancestral Mark was activated, and all the divine bone was stimulated.

At this moment, Qin Han was like a Heavenly God descending, his Dominator power fully erupting, and the Aura of Hell surging forth.

Qin Han’s Aura had reached its Peak, even more so than before.

With full power, his might was already approaching the Peak of the Divine Palace, infinitely close to a Faxiang Realm expert.

However, this was merely his might; his true strength surpassed normal imagination, incredibly overbearing.

Facing Qin Han’s Aura, Chu Jiangnian wielded his demonic sword and suddenly unleashed a Sword Qi!

It shook heaven and earth!

The familiar sword move appeared, and the ice and snow phenomenon enveloped the world.

What was different from before was that the snowflakes falling from the sky were no longer crystal white.

Instead, they appeared a strange black, with Devilish Qi steaming, captivating the soul.

What was originally an ordinary King Rank Martial Skill, in Chu Jiangnian’s hands now, carried the power to seize the fortune of heaven and earth.

Under the blessing of the Path of Slaughter, the sword light actually transformed into a crimson color, pulverizing everything in its path.

“What powerful Sword Intent! Is this the power of a natural sword heart?” Qin Han felt the terrifying nature of the sword light, and his expression became solemn.

Immediately, the Nether God Spear erupted with a Hellish glow, and the Dominator power fully burst forth!

“Rumble…”

A violent gale suddenly swept through the Divine Domain, swirling the seawater high into the sky.

The crimson slaughter Qi was like maggots clinging to bones, devouring space and dust, and even the Spiritual Qi was deeply affected.

From this, it was evident that Chu Jiangnian’s comprehension of the Path of Slaughter had reached the Minor Achievement stage.

It was not merely the introductory level as perceived.

“Looking at this stance, you must have at least tens of thousands of souls under your command, right?” Qin Han asked, slightly raising his eyelids.

Chu Jiangnian did not answer, his crimson eyes still fixed on him, as if he wanted to drink all his blood.

“Turn back before it’s too late. If you let go of everything now, you still have a chance. I will help you,” Qin Han advised.

“I want revenge,” Chu Jiangnian’s hoarse voice was squeezed out from his throat.

“Even if it’s for revenge, why choose the Buddhist Dao? You clearly know that once you enter Buddhism, there’s no possibility of leaving in this life.” Qin Han’s eyes were filled with confusion.

This familiar face suddenly became incredibly strange, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

“Only the Floating Pagoda can allow me to comprehend the Dao. If I followed you, the plan for revenge would be far off,” Chu Jiangnian spoke like a Puppet, his voice incredibly calm, his face devoid of any expression.

“So you sought out the Xuankong Temple Buddhist Son?” Qin Han frowned deeply.

“That’s right. Only by doing so can I achieve dominance and eradicate the murderers who killed my parents!” Chu Jiangnian nodded slightly.

“No, you were never like this. You must have been deceived by a villain,” Qin Han kept shaking his head.

If it was for revenge, he might believe it to some extent.

But the so-called achievement of dominance was complete nonsense; Chu Jiangnian in his impression had never shown such ambition.

No matter how well a person disguised themselves, after spending so much time together day and night, if they had ambition, they would always show flaws.

Chu Jiangnian had blocked countless enemies for Qin Han on several occasions.

The most memorable time was outside the Ancient Green City ruins, where he single-handedly blocked thousands of enemies just to buy time for Wu De.

In that battle, he almost perished, and Qin Han remembered this kindness to this day.

If he truly had the ambition to achieve dominance, why would he go to such great lengths to win his favor only to abandon him afterward?

Thinking of this, Qin Han knew that there must be an untold difficulty involved, or perhaps Chu Jiangnian had his own plan.

“Enough idle talk, make your move. You and I should have had this battle long ago,” Chu Jiangnian said.

Qin Han, however, remained unmoved, instead putting away the Nether God Spear.

Seeing this, Chu Jiangnian asked hoarsely, “What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me?”

“I won’t fight you. Even if I win, it would be meaningless,” Qin Han slowly said.

“But weren’t you trying to save me from peril? Why stop?” Chu Jiangnian asked again.

“Our brotherhood is over. From now on, we go our separate ways.”

Chu Jiangnian stared at Qin Han for a moment, ultimately choosing not to attack. He put away his demonic sword and turned to sweep towards the Buddhist platform, guarding Jiekong like a Protector.

“Don’t you want to save your brother?” Jiekong asked.

“Since he has entered Buddhism, it means our fated connection is over. I never do meaningless things,” Qin Han shook his head.

“This humble monk has already presented the welcoming gift. If Qin Han does not appreciate it, do not blame me for not keeping my word in the future.”

With that, the boundless Divine Domain slowly dissipated, and the world returned to clarity.

Waves crashed against the island reefs, making a splashing sound.

Accompanied by the water hitting the three thousand, Jiekong bowed to Qin Han. Now, all the Devilish Qi on him was completely restrained, and he had returned to being a young monk with red lips and white teeth.

But everyone knew in their hearts that he had become demonized and was no longer the bald monk he once was.

His ferocity was hidden deep within his heart, and once it erupted, it would lead to an unmanageable and bleak situation.

Qin Han would not tear off the facade with him when he did not have absolute certainty of victory.

“Qin Han, please keep in mind what you promised this humble monk,” Jiekong reminded him.

“Even if I hadn’t met you, I would still go to Wudi Pass,” Qin Han said indifferently.

“That is excellent. In that case, you and I shall meet in the Taigu Divine Nest.”

Jiekong led Chu Jiangnian away. After taking only two steps, he suddenly looked back and said, “I’ve changed my mind. I want the Jianmu leaves, and I also want the Supreme Nine Secrets!”

After speaking, the two directly passed through the rift and entered the Godly Nest.

Just as Chu Jiangnian turned sideways to enter, he looked back, and a brief moment of clarity appeared in his eyes, no longer fierce and sinister.

Qin Han clearly caught this fleeting look, and his heart settled.

Wu De rushed over with the God-Slaying Stone, anxiously saying, “What do we do now? Brother Chu actually defected.”

“He actually became a traitor! This stone misjudged him,” the God-Slaying Stone said indignantly.

Qin Han gazed at the constantly trembling rift, then lifted his leg and walked out: “Let’s go too.”

“Hmm?” Wu De saw that he had no reaction and thought he was hallucinating.

“Aren’t you worried? Brother Chu is our brother.”

“I was worried before, but not anymore,” Qin Han’s lips curved slightly.

Just as he had guessed, Chu Jiangnian had not lost his original self; he had merely made the right choice at a specific time.

How could someone with a natural sword heart become demonized?
