Legend of Swordsman

4778 Contaminated by Karma

After a hundred steps, a chuckle that sounded like Yin Ling came from the water around him. It came closer and finally gathered behind Jian Wushuang.

Then, a soft and boneless palm landed on his shoulder.

“Why are you walking so fast? Can’t you wait for me?”

Jian Wushuang did not turn back after hearing that. Instead, he continued to move forward.

“Alright, I won’t play with you anymore. You blockhead, you’re really boring!”

As soon as the bell-like voice fell, a petite figure in green and lotus clothes walked past him with light steps and headed forward.

Jian Wushuang ignored her and continued to walk forward slowly.

“Hey, can’t you just wait for me? Can’t you consider my feelings?”

The petite figure chattered like a bird, as if she was extremely dissatisfied with Jian Wushuang’s behavior.

“Let me tell you, even if you don’t like me, there are still many who like me. Who do you think you are!”

Her petite figure was just short of pouncing on him and roaring like a little beast. Although she was extremely angry, she was helpless.

“I was saved by you, so it’s only right that you take care of me. Who doesn’t do things till the end? As the saying goes, even if you send Buddha to the West, you will still send it to the West. It’s not too much to let you take care of me, right?”

As if she did not see Jian Wushuang’s indifference, she continued to speak tirelessly.

“What a coincidence, so you don’t like to eat meat, and neither do I. What? Are you saying that you don’t like to eat boiled meat, but prefer barbecued meat? Get rid of your carnivorous addiction, you hear me?” The petite figure placed her hands on her hips and pointed at him.

It was only a short journey of 1,000 steps. Jian Wushuang seemed to be unable to bear it and finally looked to his side.

Then, he said calmly, “Your obsession is really persistent. Can you even jabber on and on to a stranger?”

The petite figure seemed to have not heard Jian Wushuang’s words. After throwing a tantrum, she began to talk again.

“It’s so beautiful. Look at this place, isn’t it beautiful? Let’s live here from now on, okay?”

“We’ll build a thatched cottage here. You can focus on your cultivation, and I’ll accompany you every day and plant many, many lotus flowers.”

The petite figure was looking forward to it, so much so that she stopped in her tracks.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang stopped and said calmly, “You’re just an obsession. You can go now. Don’t delay my journey.”

Her eyes suddenly dimmed and then turned red.

The eerily still waters began to churn. Everything seemed to be fading and turning gray.

“Come with me, okay?” She reached out her hand to grab Jian Wushuang, but it was to no avail.

She followed the bluestone road and the deep water surface. Everything was collapsing.

Just as it was about to be destroyed, all the lotuses in the deep water bloomed.

As the full lotus bloomed, there was a palm-sized skull inside each flower.

…

Jian Wushuang slowly opened his eyes in the darkness.

The scene and the unbelievable conversation had all disappeared. In its place was the sound of people sleeping.

Jian Wushuang sat up and then noticed that he was in a spacious pavilion.

At the same time, he raised his arm again. When he saw the weak but solid cobweb-like blood lines on his arm, his mood fell to the bottom of the valley.

This meant that he had already been infected by the resentment, Karma, and the great killing tribulation.

Everything was too inexplicable. He tried his best not to be tainted, but in the end, he still fell into the Blood Sea and was tainted.

This was definitely not a good thing. If he did not handle it well, it would be an irreparable crack in his state of mind or his cultivation.

Chen Qing, Chun Qiu, and the others were all sleeping beside him. After Jian Wushuang’s investigation, it was obvious that they were more or less affected by the Karma and killing tribulation.

In addition to these two, Di Qing, who was sleeping on the outermost side of the bed, was less contaminated.

At the same time, there was a woman who was curled up and sleeping beside Jian Wushuang.

Wait, a woman? His mind immediately sobered up, and he hurriedly reached out to straighten the sleeping woman curled up beside him.

However, to his disappointment, this woman was not Yin Ling, but a heroic-looking woman he had never seen before.

Although this woman could not be considered beautiful, her heroic face was still very recognizable.

Jian Wushuang looked down. From her broken armor, she looked like the young guard who had held him hostage in the Northern Heaven Celestial Prefecture.

“Could it be that cross-dressing is a trend nowadays?” After confirming again that the heroic-looking woman was the young guard, Jian Wushuang was a little depressed.

As if she felt that she was being watched, the heroic-looking woman slowly opened her eyes.

Their eyes met, and perhaps she saw the strange look in his eyes, the heroic-looking woman subconsciously touched her cheek.

“You don’t have to touch it, I saw it clearly,” Jian Wushuang said indifferently.

“I’ll kill you!” Without any warning, she rose up and raised her hand to look at his neck.

Jian Wushuang would not let her do as she wished. He raised his hand to resist and completely subdued her with a few moves.

As Yan power in her body had not recovered, she was fighting with her physical strength. Naturally, Jian Wushuang could easily subdue her.

“Although I don’t know what’s the relationship between us, you have to be clear that the person who destroyed them wasn’t me,” Jian Wushuang released her and said in a deep voice.

The heroic-looking woman did not attack again. After looking at him deeply, she got up and walked out of the room.

Lying back on the bed, Jian Wushuang began to recall the strange dream-like place in his dream and Yin Ling that had disappeared after falling into this Heavenly Region.

The Heaven-patterned Bone Armor in Yin Ling’s hand was their only goal in this operation. If she disappeared, everything would be meaningless.

Just as he was recalling everything that had happened, a desolate horn suddenly rang out from outside the pavilion.

Jian Wushuang got off the bed, opened the window, and checked the situation outside.

Almost at the same time, in a big city in the Sand Demon Cave, with a loud noise, Cui Jing, who was half-naked, flew out and stood in the air.

“Damn it, it must be that bunch of big bald donkeys who haven’t given up their evil intentions!”

Cui Jing said hatefully. He tightened his belt and led more than 100 top cultivators to the top of the city in Sand Demon Cave.

Soon after Cui Jing’s departure, countless top cultivators began to walk out of every corner of the Sand Demon Cave like ants. Then, they all gathered forward, covering the sky and the sun.
