The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 406 The owner of the Sword of Defeat, Xiong Ba, dies.
When Su Ming's gaze fell on the young man with curly hair dressed in black robes behind Xiong Ba, the man's face was indifferent, as if he had no emotions, and his eyes were calm, as if nothing in this world could move him.

Only then did everyone notice Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, and all their attention turned to them.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Bu Jingyun's expression remained unchanged. He slowly walked forward to Xiong Ba, looking at his enemy who was sealed in ice. His eyes were cold, and a murderous intent surged on his face.

Back then, his father, Bu Yuanting, died (actually, he faked his death). After that, his mother, Yu Nong, remarried and moved to Huo Family Village with him, changing his name to Huo Jingjue.

The manor lord Huo Butian not only treated Bu Jingyun as his own son, but also taught him all of the Huo family's sword techniques and carefully nurtured him.

However, this period of prosperity was short-lived. Xiong Ba's Tianxia Society rose to power and annexed many forces in the martial arts world. Huo Butian, being an upright man, refused Xiong Ba's offer of recruitment. Xiong Ba's nature was to believe that those who obeyed him would prosper and those who defied him would perish. He led the Tianxia Society to wipe out the Huo family.

Young Bu Jingyun sat facing the stone lions at the gate of the Huo family, watching helplessly as the people of Huo Family Village were slaughtered. He did not shed a single tear even as the entire family was wiped out, thus lowering the assassins' guard. He then took advantage of their unpreparedness to counterattack, but due to his young age, he was no match for them. Just then, a nameless master and disciple happened to pass by and saved his life.

Huo Jingjue was rescued and taken to Zhonghua Pavilion, where he met Wuming and Jianchen.

At night, he met Wuming and learned a sword technique from him called "Unexplained Grief". He then challenged Jianchen with the Huo family sword technique, but Jianchen easily countered it with Wuming's sword technique.

In a moment of desperation, Bu Jingyun used the "Unspeakable Grief" technique to defeat Jian Chen, then seized the opportunity to ask Wuming to become his disciple. Wuming neither spoke nor refused, but the next day he witnessed Bu Jingyun killing a crippled doe. Wuming felt that Bu Jingyun's violent nature was too strong and wanted to send him to the monk Buxu to resolve his violent nature with Buddhist teachings. Bu Jingyun did not understand this and was indignant. He left under the cover of night, and Jian Chen tried to stop him but to no avail. Later, he joined the World Society under the name "Bu Jingyun" to seek revenge.

Ever since Bu Jingyun appeared, Wuming's attention has been focused on him. He never imagined that the boy he had casually saved would one day become the famous Uncrying Death God and the martial arts legend who followed him.

Admittedly, this young man is cold-hearted. I should have taken him under my wing and raised him back then to prevent him from going astray. Buddhism can save people, but it cannot resolve hatred. Sensing his murderous intent, Wuming couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This young man has never changed. He is still the same as before."

Bu Jingyun immediately unleashed the Cloud-Dispelling Palm, striking the ice with each palm. Strength penetrated the solid ice and reached Xiong Ba, causing his blood and qi to surge. Inside the ice, his face was contorted, his jet-black eyebrows twitched, and his eyes seemed to be blazing with fire.

He regretted coming here today, and was even angrier that the person he had painstakingly cultivated was going to kill him because of a single sentence from someone else. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have listened to the nonsense of the clay Buddha.

Training such a person is like creating enemies for yourself and digging your own grave.

Just after Bu Jingyun made his move, Nie Feng stepped forward and grabbed his hand, saying, "Senior Brother Yun, he is our master, we cannot kill him."

However, Bu Jingyun glanced back at him, said nothing, and shoved him away. Then he struck the solid ice with his palms, determined to kill Xiong Ba.

When Wuming saw this, he did not stop it. The hatred for killing his father was irreconcilable. What reason did he have to stop a child from avenging his father? The Heavenly Cry Scripture had already foreshadowed the future. The path of Xiong Ba was destined to be both made and broken by Feng Yun. He was destined to die at the hands of Feng Yun.

He glanced at Su Ming and sighed inwardly, thinking that this could be considered as his fate ending prematurely.

In the midst of turmoil, the power of destiny is something to be feared. Emperor Shitian fears Xiong Ba's destiny and dares not directly kill him. The omen of the Great Calamity is even more so. The Great Swordsman has predicted that the Eastern Island Kingdom will soon be plunged into a Great Calamity. For thousands of years, no one has stepped forward to deal with the Eastern Island Kingdom and solve the problem at its source.

The world looks down on ants on the ground, while these masters standing at the pinnacle of martial arts look down on the world. Is there also an unbelievable being watching her from some unknown height, as if she were an ant?

Everyone is directly or indirectly burdened by destiny, and is pushed forward by fate.

The birth of the Heavenly Sword was already destined.

Is this the way things are in this world, destined to be this way?

Suddenly, Wuming looked at Bu Jingyun again. The young man's face remained calm, his eyes staring straight at Xiong Ba. Bloodstains had appeared on his palms, and cracks had appeared in the ice. Xiong Ba inside had been injured by the force of the palm strikes, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, flowing freely inside.

He glared at Bu Jingyun, his eyes filled with resentment and humiliation. However, behind his furious gaze was a struggle against his unwillingness to die. He had not yet accomplished his great cause, how could he die at the hands of a mere youth!

Seeing that he couldn't stop Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng went to Su Ming and knelt down, pleading, "Senior, he is my master, please don't kill him."

Su Ming looked at Nie Feng. He had grown quite a bit taller over the years. Even after living in the World Society for so long, he was still kind-hearted and gentle. He pulled Nie Feng up and pointed at Xiong Ba, saying, "Nie Feng, do you know why your Senior Brother Yun wanted to kill Xiong Ba?"

Nie Feng shook his head, his face full of doubt.

Not only Nie Feng, but also the Ao Xin couple next to him were puzzled. Why would such a young boy kill his own master?
Then, Su Ming revealed the reason: "Because your senior brother Yun's father and entire family were killed by Xiong Ba, in other words, he is your senior brother's father's killer. Do you still want to stop him?"

"what?"

A delicate cry rang out; it was Madam Ao who spoke. She couldn't believe that this young man, at such a young age, carried the burden of a blood feud for his father's murder and had even taken his enemy as his disciple. It was simply unimaginable.

Upon hearing this, Nie Feng's eyes widened in disbelief. Although he was young, he understood the principle of revenge. However, the key issue was that this was his master. The young man was caught in the middle and found himself in a very difficult position.

Xiong Ba was shocked and his pupils contracted. This kid was actually a fish that had escaped from Huo Family Village!

Suddenly, a deep voice rang in Bu Jingyun's ear, "Bu Jingyun, pull out that sword!"

Bu Jingyun, who was focused on killing, seemed to sense something. He glanced at Wuming, then followed his gaze to the Sword of Defeat stuck in the ground. Without saying anything, he turned around and strode over, intending to pull out the sword.

Ao Xin's heart nearly jumped out of her chest, and she quickly stopped her, "No!"

Bu Jingyun remained silent, watching him quietly. His calm gaze sent chills down Ao Xin's spine. He panicked for no reason and hurriedly explained, "This sword is too ferocious and has already killed many people. Your skill is too shallow to withstand the backlash of this sword."

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Bu Jingyun, and no one paid attention to Xiong Ba anymore. The dignified leader of the World Society was thrown aside like a dead dog.

Xiong Ba was both shocked and furious, feeling humiliated by being sealed in solid ice and unable to move. However, he secretly circulated his true energy, trying to break Su Ming's ice seal. He had been taught the Cloud-Dispelling Palm technique by Bu Jingyun. Xiong Ba shifted the palm force that had been blasted into his body in order to break through the blocked meridians.

Bu Jingyun also cracked the solid ice outside. Although Xiong Ba seemed unable to move, his meridians were actually open, and his true energy was constantly flowing through his body, breaking through the barriers.

At the same time, he secretly circulated his Three-Part Returning Qi, waiting for the final counterattack.

Su Ming smiled and said, "It's alright, Master Ao, let him give it a try."

Since Su Ming had spoken, even though Ao Xin was worried, she had no choice but to give up and make way. Bu Jingyun stared at the Sword of Defeat not far away and walked towards it step by step.

As he drew closer, the Sword of Defeat began to tremble spontaneously, as if sensing something. A deathly and ominous aura flowed along the blade and spread outwards.

Ao Xin gazed at the golden sword blade, his eyes burning with fervor. This was the Sword of Defeat, which shared the same origin as the Peerless Sword, yet the two swords were still different. The Peerless Sword was entirely black, with an ancient hilt and a handguard.

The Sword of Defeat before them, with its golden blade, possessed both antiquity and luxury, making it far more beautiful than the Peerless Sword.

Suddenly, a deathly aura touched Bu Jingyun, climbing up his feet and spreading throughout his body. On an ordinary person, this wisp of sword energy would kill them instantly, but he was completely unaffected.

Wuming stared at Bu Jingyun and exchanged a glance with Su Ming. Sure enough, he had guessed correctly. Since Bu Jingyun could sense the Peerless Sword and was the chosen one, there was no reason why the Sword of Defeat, which came from the same furnace, couldn't.

"How can this be?"

However, when Ao Xin saw the gray sword energy wrapped around Bu Jingyun, she was stunned, lost in thought, and her face grew increasingly pale.

Madam Ao quickly helped him up and asked with concern, "Husband, what's wrong?"

Ao Xin stared at the Sword of Defeat and said in a deep voice, "The Sword of Defeat has recognized him as its master. This sword is not even complete, yet it has already recognized its master. Doesn't that mean that the peerless swords in the manor will also recognize him as their master? This kid is the destined sword master!" As he finished speaking, his eyes regained their color.

He had a new idea.

Hearing this, Xiong Ba, who was frozen in the ice, was even more incredulous. He never imagined that the Sword of Defeat would recognize a child as its master. Immediately, his desire to kill Bu Jingyun intensified.

This kid is so young and a sword has already recognized him as its master. His future is bound to be limitless. If we can escape today, we must kill him before he grows up, otherwise there will be endless trouble!

Finally, under the watchful eyes of several people, Bu Jingyun pulled out the Defeat Sword from the ground. With the divine sword in his hand, wisps of gray sword energy spread from the blade to his palms, arms, and entire body, enveloping him completely.

The sword energy immediately dissipated and entered his entire body. Instead of corroding him, it obediently allowed him to control it. With the sword in hand, Bu Jingyun's killing intent grew even colder, and his entire demeanor changed.

Wuming's eyelids twitched, while Aoxin's gaze grew even more intense.

Then, holding his sword, he walked step by step to Xiong Ba and finally spoke, "Xiong Ba, you killed my whole family, today I will kill you to avenge you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his sword and thrust it towards Xiong Ba's heart.

However, a sudden change occurred: "Kid, you're still a long way from killing me."

"Three points of return to vitality!"

A domineering and powerful voice mixed with a low shout, ice shattered, and Xiong Ba gathered true energy in his palm. Frost, wind, and cloud—three different kinds of true energy—converged and condensed into a transparent and solid ball of true energy, which then bombarded Bu Jingyun.

The boy had never experienced such a change before. Even with his resolute mind, he panicked and had no choice but to forcefully use the move "Unspeakable Grief" to stab the other side.

Three parts of vital energy swept in, and the Sword of Defeat emitted wisps of deathly sword energy, making Bu Jingyun's sword even sharper. However, the weapon's extraordinary power could not make up for the difference in skill.

"Disperse!"

The sword energy was instantly shattered. Just as the three parts of the Yuan Qi were about to land on him, accompanied by a sound, a wisp of sword energy as thin as a hair formed in the air and crashed into him. Xiong Ba's highly anticipated move instantly disintegrated into three streams of true energy and vanished without a trace.

The Three-Part Returning Qi is formed by the condensation of three streams of true qi. Su Ming, who controls the qi of heaven and earth, immediately noticed the weakness in the connection between the three streams of true qi and easily broke it apart.

However, this is based on the premise that the Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi has not yet been fully developed. Once it is fully developed, the three parts will be as one and merged into one, making it very difficult to separate them.

Seeing that things were not going well, Xiong Ba glared at Bu Jingyun and abandoned his idea of ​​killing him and taking the sword. He turned around and used the Wind God Kick to try to leave.

But from behind, the sword energy of the Defeat Sword pierced through again. To his horror, he discovered that this sword had blocked all his dodge angles, forcing him to fight back.

Xiong Ba was ruthless; he took the sword blow head-on and continued walking away without stopping.

As if sensing something, Bu Jingyun involuntarily raised the Sword of Defeat and planted it in the ground. In an instant, a deathly and ominous sword aura spread out, rising from the ground, with chilling sword energy coming one after another.

Indeed, Sword Nine, Reincarnation!

The sword energy was overwhelming and impossible to defend against. Xiong Ba had not expected such a bizarre move. His leg was severed, and he fell to the ground. Blood soaked his purple-gold robe, and the dragon tattooed on it had bloodshot eyes and looked fierce and ferocious.

With both legs broken, Xiong Ba had no chance of escape. Looking at the approaching youth, he said fiercely, "Bu Jingyun, I truly regret not eliminating you completely back then, allowing you to live."

At this moment, a wild smile appeared on his face. "If I had to do it again, I would make sure that not a single person in Huo Family Village would be spared! I killed your father with my own hands, and your mother also died tragically at my hands. Do you want to avenge them? Come on, kill me with one sword!"

The words relentlessly assaulted the boy's mind. Bu Jingyun's eyes were filled with rage. He was about to raise his sword to pierce the boy's chest when he stopped. "Killing you with one sword would be too easy for you. Hundreds of people in Huo Family Village died because of you. You will die today!"

As he spoke, he raised his sword and severed Xiong Ba's tendons, piercing his dantian and crippling his martial arts. Xiong Ba remained silent, merely staring coldly at him. A born tyrant, he would never yield, even in death.

Just as he was about to continue torturing him, Wuming walked over and sighed, "Bu Jingyun, give him a quick death."

Bu Jingyun paused for a moment, then nodded and pierced Xiong Ba's heart meridian with his sword.

Thus, Xiong Ba, the leader of the World Society, died!
