My Sword Intent Can Be Infinitely Improved

Chapter 42: The Abyss of Desire

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

Baiyan Village

The huge commotion woke up all the villagers. When they saw the scene outside, they were all dumbfounded.

What was going on?

“Isn’t that Exalted Immortal Ding? Who’s that opposite him?” “Don’t talk. Hurry back and hide.”

“How can we participate in a battle between Exalted Immortals…”

The commoners of this era did not like to watch a show. They would rather hide and live peacefully.

Ding Jiayu’s move caused a huge commotion. A pillar formed by starlight appeared here.

Su Yang’s casual sword was dispelled by Ding Jiayu with the help of the power of the stars.

In the distance, a series of explosions could be heard.

Seven figures jumped out and arrived beside Ding Jiayu, just as the starlight connected the heavens and the earth. These seven figures were seven zombies.

Although the momentum was huge, in Su Yang’s eyes, it was just a faint light. His sword intent could easily crush them.

All the IV21 sword intent emanated from him, shrouding the entire Baiyan Village.

Su Yang simply raised his hand and compressed his sword intent.

The sky underwent a change, as a sword several dozen meters long appeared, standing erect behind Su Yang, emanating a sense of opening the heavens.

The sword then quickly compressed until it was only about three meters long.

Seemingly unsatisfied, Su Yang caused the giant sword behind him to further divide into several dozen three-foot-long swords. Seeing this, Su Yang finally nodded in satisfaction.

With a low shout, dozens of three-foot swords flew out from behind Su Yang.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The sword intent tore through space and pierced Ding Jiayu.

Ding Jiayu cast another spell. The power of the stars split and crashed toward the dozens of three-foot swords.

When the two attacks collided, Ding Jiayu’s expression suddenly changed.

He couldn’t stop them!

The starry power was easily broken through. Then, the dozens of three-foot-long swords were no longer blocked.

Ding Jiayu’s pupils dilated, and he immediately formed hand seals, no longer allowing the seven zombies to evolve and stand before him.

Unfortunately… it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The seven zombies were torn apart, and the sword intent rushed forward, with dozens of sword intents piercing Ding Jiayu’s body.

Blood stained his clothes in an instant, and blood also flowed from the corner of Ding Jiayu’s mouth.

“No… I’ve just recovered…” There seemed to be great unwillingness and helplessness in his eyes… But he was powerless to change his fate! Another sword tore through the air and easily cut off Ding Jiayu’s head.

[Will of All Beings +27]

With one sword strike, the overwhelming sword intent that enveloped the heavens and earth returned to Su Yang’s body.

Without Ding Jiayu, the celestial phenomenon also disappeared.

The night remained as dark as ever. Only, there were now a few more corpses on the ground.

Su Yang went forward to search the corpse and quickly found a storage bag from Ding Jiayu. This thing was different from Su Yang’s, but its function was the same. Other than that, Ding Jiayu had nothing else on him.

The good stuff must be in the storage bag.

At this moment, a woman rushed out of a house near the battlefield.

“Shan’er… Shan’er!” The woman rushed to the side of one of the seven zombies. After seeing the corpse, she immediately burst into tears.

Su Yang looked over and found this person familiar.

Su Yang recognized her as somewhat familiar. Upon further thought… wasn’t she the woman he encountered in the funeral procession on his way to Tianfeng Prefecture? Could these seven zombies be the seven coffins from back then?

Considering the location, it seemed to be the case.

Su Yang did not know what to say. He was not good at words.

“This person is an evil cultivator of the Corpse Dao. He likes to refine the corpses of the dead into zombies and has been killed by me.”

“These seven corpses were most likely his creations. Since things have come to this, these corpses will be burned. I hope you can be mentally prepared.”

After Su Yang finished speaking, he did not care about the woman’s reaction. There were still two people waiting for him in the room in front.

After he left, more and more villagers came out.

The relatives of the other six corpses also noticed the situation.

Su Yang returned to the house again. The situation of the two individuals inside had changed. The tadpole-like patterns on their bodies had disappeared with Ding Jiayu’s death.

Zhao Shi had already untied Zhao Gaosheng and was holding him while crying in pain.

“My child… I almost harmed you. This Senior Ding is a demonic cultivator, and he had control over my mind.”

“It’s all my fault. I should’ve died, causing you to suffer.”

Zhao Gaosheng hugged Zhao Shi in distress. “Father, don’t say that. You’re also being controlled. It’s not your fault.”

As they spoke, they also saw Su Yang walk in. The two of them knelt on the spot.

“Thank you for saving us, Sir. If not for you, our Baiyan Village would have been destroyed.”

Su Yang hurriedly got the two of them up.

“It’s fine. I’ve already killed that heretic cultivator. If you find anything wrong in the future, contact the Martial Suppression Bureau as soon as possible.”

Su Yang checked the two of them and found nothing wrong. It seemed that this evil cultivator hadn’t succeeded yet.

That was also for the best, to avoid further troubles.

After confirming that there was no problem here, Su Yang continued, “Who is the village chief? The two of you, bring me to find him. We need to deal with the bodies outside.”

“Replying to my lord, I am the village chief of this village.” Zhao Shi raised his head.

“Alright.” Su Yang nodded. “Then come out with me. Gather the villagers and get them to prepare firewood.”

“Yes.” Zhao Shi obediently replied, bowing his head.

Zhao Shi’s current appearance indicated that everything before was caused by Ding Jiayu’s control. Moreover… No one understood what was going on. Even Zhao Gaosheng was kidnapped by Ding Jiayu.

The two of them arrived at the center of the village.

Under Su Yang’s orders, Zhao Shi quickly organized the villagers to pile up firewood on the vacant land beside the village.

When it was almost done, Su Yang used his sword intent to stack all the corpse-transformed bodies onto the firewood, including Ding Jiayu’s corpse. Then, he asked Zhao Shi to light the fire.

The flames soared into the sky in the dark night, illuminating the entire night. Although the relatives of the seven bodies felt reluctant, they didn’t dare to stop it.

Soon, the corpse was burned to ashes. Su Yang left after seeing that the matter was resolved.

Baiyan Village slowly regained its peace as night fell.

Everything seemed to have ended.

It was midnight. Zhao Shi jumped into the burning pit without hesitation and began searching the ground with his hands, seemingly trying to find something.

“Cultivation… I want to cultivate… No one can stop me.”

In his eyes, the madness had disappeared, replaced by an extreme calmness, an unwavering determination.

It wasn’t a moment of impulse, it was true determination.

It wasn’t a momentary impulse but a true conviction.

With a wave of his hand, he stirred the stars…

With a wave of his hand, he changed the heavens and earth…

With a wave of his hand, he controlled life and death…

He also wanted to do so!

Huangshan City.

Su Yang had already returned to the Martial Suppression Bureau. After dealing with the corpse immortal cultivator, he had another 27 wisps of the will of all living beings in his hands and had also learned the sword control technique.

When the mission in Huangshan City was over tomorrow, he would probably have some income.

The night passed quickly.

On the second day, the three families obediently followed Su Yang’s request and distributed a month’s worth of wages to all the workers. They also promised that they would never deduct their wages in the future.

This matter came to an end amidst the revelry of the people of Huangshan City. During the celebration, they also found out that the person who helped them resolve this matter was…

The prefecture’s patrol officer – the Four Directions Inspector – Lord Su Yang! Su Yang also received his reward: Twelve wisps of the Will of All Beings
