A Huo's inner conflict was resolved, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his aura surged accordingly.
Bang!
A huge, phantom-like longsword appeared behind A Huo, its powerful Sword Qi forcing all the enemies around A Huo to fly backward.
The Dragon-Locking Formation that had trapped A Huo was immediately broken, and the many Qi Nourishing Realm experts who formed the formation also suffered a backlash, spitting out blood and weakening their aura.
"W-what happened?"
Liu Ruyan was shocked and desperately swung her longsword to create a sword beam that slashed at A Huo, trying to stop A Huo's aura from rising further.
What is my true nature?
It's about slaughtering all the heartless and ruthless people in the world!
It is a rebellion against all injustices in the world!
It's about protecting the people you love most!
This is my Justice True Heart Sword, A Huo!
"You can die now!"
A Huo coldly stared at the two despicable people before him, his Thought clear and free of any obstacles.
Whoosh! Clang clang clang!
The giant sword phantom behind A Huo transformed into countless tiny sword beams, like a cascading river, sweeping towards Liu Ruyan.
"Ah! No, Hongyun, save me!"
The sword's edge was so powerful it could destroy anything in the river. Liu Ruyan had never seen such a terrifying attack before. She ran for her life, but it was all in vain.
Before long, she was caught up by the sword light, her body riddled with holes, and she was beyond dead.
" Meng Wu! You can't kill me! I... I am your biological father!"
When Liu Ruyan was being chased, Meng Hongtian didn't dare to look back and fled in panic. However, in A Huo's eyes, who was wielding the sword light, this distance was almost the same as not running away.
" Meng Hongtian, I can spare your life! Go and apologize at my mother's grave!"
A Huo wielded his sword, piercing through Meng Hongtian's dantian. He screamed and fell from the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Pfft...!
In the Qi Mountain Tribe, there were many people who had bullied A Huo in the past, all of whom were dealt with by A Huo using his sword.
When the people in the tribe saw A Huo, who looked like a god descending to earth, they all cowered on the ground, not daring to resist at all.
After a while, A Huo dealt with everyone he needed to deal with, withdrew all the sword energy into his body, grabbed the unconscious Meng Hongyun on the ground, and ran towards the back mountain of the Qi Mountain Tribe.
On the back hill, overgrown with weeds, A Huo stopped in front of an unnamed stone tablet and threw Meng Hongyun to the ground.
"Mother, I'm back!"
A Huo knelt on the ground, closed his eyes, and tears streamed down his face.
The village elders buried Qi Xiaoping here years ago, without even a tombstone. This nameless stone tablet was brought up by A Huo himself when he was eight years old.
After a while, Meng Hongyun woke up and found that his dantian had been shattered, letting out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"Ah!... You actually dared to destroy my dantian! You... you might as well just kill me!"
"So noisy!"
A Huo stared coldly at Meng Hongyun, Meng Hongyun immediately shut up in fright.
"Kneel before my mother! Or I'll kill you right now!"
Despite his sweet words, Meng Hongyun didn't really want to die. After hesitating for a long time, he still knelt down before Qi Xiaoping's grave.
" Xiaoping! I'm so sorry, Xiaoping! Actually, it was all because of that bitch Liu Ruyan back then. She wouldn't let me go to you! I really had no choice..."
As he spoke, he slapped himself in the face, appearing completely sincere. People who didn't know him well could easily be deceived by him.
A Huo sneered inwardly. "Unable to control your own destiny? You didn't even visit him before he died, and you still have the nerve to say you had no choice?"
"Kneel here! Don't move until I leave!"
And so, A Huo pulled Meng Hongyun to kneel before Qi Xiaoping's grave, and they spent the night in the desolate back mountain.
At night, some wolves tried to attack them, but A Huo only slightly revealed a Sword Qi, which frightened the wolves so much that they ran away for their lives.
In the morning, the sun rises.
Three figures walked from outside the mountain and slowly approached the tombstone.
"I knew you guys would follow."
Chen Mu awkwardly touched his nose and coughed lightly.
"No! Didn't I tell you, if you don't contact me, I'll definitely come looking for you?"
"Look, I haven't seen you for a whole day and night, so I came to find you!"
A Huo stood up, glanced back at Chen Mu, and didn't bother him any further.
"I presume that's your mother inside?"
A Huo didn't speak, but nodded.
Chen Mu, Chen Duo, and Mingye Ye all bowed deeply to the nameless tombstone.
" A Huo, how about we move Auntie's ashes to Chen Village? Isn't it safe here?"
Chen Mu suddenly suggested.
A Huo remained silent for a long time, then sighed.
"Very well! I think Mother probably doesn't have anything to miss about this place anymore."
A Huo immediately set to work, digging out Qi Xiaoping's urn and taking it with him.
A short while later, Chen Mu released his spaceship, which soared into the sky and carried the four of them far away from the Qi Mountain Tribe.
Meng Hongtian had been watching A Huo and the other three talking, not daring to even breathe loudly until they left. Only then did he stand up and kick the nameless stone tablet on the ground hard.
" Qi Xiaoping, Qi Xiaoping, look at the fine son you've given birth to!! Bah!"
He cursed a few times, then glanced in the direction of the Qi Mountain Tribe. He knew that without any strength, he would only be bullied if he went back, so he had no choice but to turn around and run into the mountains.
Although his dantian was destroyed, Meng Hongtian had once possessed the cultivation of the True Spirit Realm, and his physical body was powerful enough to defeat ordinary demonic beasts.
Without his dantian, he'll never be a strong person again, but no matter what, it's better to live a wretched life than to die a good death. Even a dog has its own way of life.
Chen Village, Chen Mu's home.
Today, Chen Mu personally cooked several of his signature dishes for everyone.
"This is sweet and sour pork ribs, drunken duck, braised fish, steamed prawns, and scrambled eggs with spirit fruit..."
These dishes were made with monster meat and spiritual ingredients, which were full of Spiritual Power and had a delicious flavor. Combined with the superb cooking skills that Chen Mu brought from Earth, everyone who ate them was left wanting more and full of praise.
People in this world are obsessed with cultivation and Martial Dao, and very few people study cooking. Therefore, the way they cook is generally primitive, and they don't even know how to stir-fry, steam, or other cooking methods.
Therefore, even a simple dish that Chen Mu brought from Earth could amaze many Celestial Person chefs.
"Oh no! A Mu, after eating your cooking, I feel like everyone else's cooking doesn't even count as food!"
If I can't eat this anymore, how am I supposed to live?!
Chen Zihu was the most exaggerated, acting as if he were about to die.
"Hehe, it's a pity you're not a woman, otherwise you would still have a chance."
As Chen Duo spoke, she glanced at Mingye beside her, only to receive a glare in return.
At the dinner table, A Huo suddenly stood up and toasted everyone.
" A Mu, Duoduo, Mingye, after returning to the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion this time, I plan to travel the world with my master to hone my swordsmanship. It's very likely that I won't be back for several years."
This glass of wine is my farewell to everyone.
