Chapter 59: Looting the Corpses
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
[The Will of All Beings +1243!]
In mid-air, Su Yang could sense this feeling.
It’s really great. No wonder sword cultivators love the technique of “Swords Return to the Origin.”
It’s truly impressive!
This technique of “Swords Return to the Origin” was not a newly learned sword move for him. It was simply a manifestation of his sword intent in this particular manner. By materializing his sword intent, he achieved this effect by increasing the quantity. With the assistance of the technique “Shapeless Spider Web,” he could lock onto the evil cultivators he saw and avoid killing the wrong person.
This move didn’t have much power and could only be used to deal with minor enemies. After all, it wasn’t a sword move he learned using the Will of All Beings.
Indeed, even a first-grade martial artist was considered a minor enemy to Su Yang now.
You might say that first-grade martial artists were strong, and yes, they were strong. But compared to Su Yang, they were nothing more than slightly larger ants.
After annihilating the evil cultivators in this area with a single move, Su Yang descended gracefully.
At this moment, Gu Xiu walked out of the mountain.
Halfway through, Su Yang told him to walk through the mountain instead of following behind. He said it would affect his feeling.
At first, Gu Xiu didn’t understand, but now he did.
Well… did it affect the feeling of being impressive?
“Gentlemen of the martial world, could you help me collect the spoils of war?” After Su Yang descended, he directly spoke.
Although it seemed somewhat lowering his prestige. But to reject benefits and be impressive, that would be truly foolish.
The spoils of war were valuable resources. Even if he didn’t need them, he should still claim what rightfully belonged to him.
And Su Yang was considering one thing: Nurturing his subordinates.
As the coverage of his panel expanded, he couldn’t personally handle all the injustices in the world; he would definitely need subordinates.
The imperial court would indeed provide him with people, but it wouldn’t be enough.
His temporary goal was to train some subordinates. As for becoming an emperor… he hadn’t thought about it, nor did he need to.
If it ever came to the position of emperor and he found the other party displeasing, he wouldn’t mind replacing them with someone obedient.
After Su Yang descended and spoke up, the people finally regained their senses.
Hui Kong stepped forward and said, “Thank you, sir, for your assistance. It is only right for us to help you collect these spoils of war.”
Su Yang was somewhat surprised. Even the monk took the initiative?
Indeed, it was unwise to judge anyone based on preconceived notions.
As Hui Kong was the first to regain his senses, the others followed suit.
“Sword Immortal Su can rest assured, we will take care of this work,” someone said, combining the recent scene and addressing Su Yang as a sword immortal.
“Yes, that’s right. Whoever dares to keep anything for themselves, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
In an instant, these martial artists began actively looting the corpses for Su Yang. They didn’t object to such a task.
As martial artists, if they couldn’t loot corpses, it would be better not to be in the martial world.
Soon, over a hundred bodies of evil cultivators were thoroughly searched and stripped clean. It must be said that these martial artists were professionals when it came to looting corpses.
They even found silver bills hidden in the bottom of their undergarments.
Su Yang was genuinely amazed.
“That brother… you keep the silver bills you found. You’ve worked hard.”
“Thank you, Lord Su!”
As the person was about to hand over the silver bills he had found to Su Yang, he immediately pocketed them happily upon hearing Su Yang’s reward.
Under the cover of the Shapeless Spider Web, Su Yang observed their actions. He wasn’t afraid of them hiding anything.
The task of looting the corpses was quickly completed.
The result surprised Su Yang.
Not a single person kept anything for themselves. Instead, each and every martial artist’s eyes shimmered with fervent admiration as they piled up the collected items in front of Su Yang.
Su Yang understood.
In this world, strength reigned supreme. His display of such immense power had already won over these martial artists.
“Thank you, everyone,” Su Yang thanked them with a clasped fist.
However, Su Yang noticed that some of the evil cultivators were actually killed by martial artists, yet they still placed their spoils of war in front of Su Yang.
Under the cover of the Shapeless Spider Web, Su Yang observed this situation clearly.
Therefore… anything that didn’t belong to him, he naturally wouldn’t take.
“These spoils of war were obtained through your hard work in killing the enemies, not by me. Please keep them for yourselves,” Su Yang controlled his sword intent and divided the spoils of war into two portions, one for the martial artists.
After completing these actions, Su Yang waved his hand and collected all the spoils of war, then bowed, “There are still other battlefields in the mountain range. Gentlemen, I will take my leave first.”
The martial artists, who had been chatting incessantly, noticed that Su Yang had already arrived in the distance, heading towards the battlefield where Master Yuanjie from Xuanshan Temple and Tu Baisheng from the Blood Cultivation Sect were located.
The battle between the two had long since moved to the sky.
Otherwise, this stronghold of evil cultivators would have been completely destroyed by the shockwaves alone.
When Su Yang arrived, he didn’t make much of a move.
He simply swung his sword.
That sword cut through the sky and slashed toward Tu Baisheng.
Sensing the danger, Tu Baisheng immediately swung a blade filled with surging blood energy. Half of the sky was tainted with blood.
However, when faced with Su Yang’s casual sword swing, Tu Baisheng’s overwhelming strike was easily split in two.
It was divided in half.
And continued forward, still carrying the same power.
Slashing through Tu Baisheng…
Slashing through the rolling blood energy behind him…
Slashing through the clouds in the sky…
Wherever the sword edge passed, nothing could resist!
Everything was cut in half.
[The Will of All Beings +31]
Tu Baisheng died, his body split in two as it fell from the sky.
Yuanjie, whose aura was already in disarray, became even more chaotic when he saw this. He looked at Su Yang, who was flying toward Tu Baisheng’s body, with a complex expression.
The principle of not contending in Buddhism… what nonsense.
Why did he cultivate if he wouldn’t contend?
Why did he come out to kill evil cultivators?
He was nearly seventy years old, and he had been an Ancestor for nearly a hundred years, but he was still struggling to make progress in the Ancestor Realm.
He had been practicing for so long, yet he couldn’t compare to a young newcomer.
This feeling… was bitter.
Was Tu Baisheng weak? Yuanjie looked at the wounds on his own body.
If anyone dared to say Tu Baisheng was weak, this monk would not only scold them but also let them taste the power of the Great Strength Vajra Palm!
Forgive me… forgive me…
Buddha, forgive me, my mind is in chaos..
