My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 192 - 190: Such a Ruthless Heart

"The ancient scriptures are recorded in such a way, as to whether they are true or false, I do not know," Dongfang Jian shrugged.

"They are false!"

"They are true!"

Both voices rose at the same time.

The first voice was Tang Shitian's; the second was Xiong Batian's.

"Hmph!"

Tang Shitian glared fiercely at Xiong Batian, "Do not spout nonsense here!"

"Spouting nonsense?" Xiong Batian sneered, "Tang Shitian, are you particularly afraid right now? Are you feeling particularly guilty?"

"I am not..."

"Not yet? Your face is pale as paper, your arms are trembling slightly; these are clearly signs of guilt."

"You..."

"What about me? Am I not correct?"

"You're not!"

"Enough with the excuses, even if you talk until the end of time, I will not believe you." With that, Xiong Batian turned his head to Dongfang Jian, "Go on, kill Tang Shitian and take the Golden Elixir from his body for cultivation."

"Alright." Dongfang Jian stepped toward Tang Shitian.

"Do not come any closer." Tang Shitian panicked, "Do not listen to Xiong Batian's nonsense; he is deceiving you..."

In a moment, Dongfang Jian arrived in front of Tang Shitian. With a cold gaze and an indifferent tone, he said, "Someone once said: If you want to know whether an apple is sour or sweet, you must taste it yourself!" Dongfang Jian paused, "Whether the Golden Elixir is useful or not, one will know after a try."

"You cannot do this..." Tang Shitian exclaimed angrily.

"Why can't I do this?" Dongfang Jian asked, "You are a stranger to me; killing you bears no burden on my conscience."

"You... You..." Overcome with anger, Tang Shitian was at a loss for words. It was like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by a dog. If it had been before, he would have slapped Dongfang Jian to death for such a provocation, but now... His meridians were damaged, his True Qi was depleted, even lifting his hand was an effort, and he had almost lost the ability to move.

At this moment, he was powerless to resist.

To describe it in one sentence, Tang Shitian was now like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Rest assured, after you die, I will find a nice place to bury you, and I'll even burn paper money for you during the holidays." With that, Dongfang Jian raised his hand, reaching for Tang Shitian's head.

"Even as a ghost, I will not let you go!!!" Tang Shitian shouted vehemently.

"Pfft!"

Dongfang Jian's five fingers clasped Tang Shitian's head and squeezed hard; the head burst open...

"Bang!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Tang Shitian's body fell to the ground, twitching for a moment before going still.

The once mighty Sect Leader of the Yin Yang Sect, with his Golden Core Realm Cultivation, died in such a pathetic way, how pitiful! Truly too pitiful!

"Good disciple! You truly are my good disciple! Hahahaha..." Seeing Tang Shitian killed by Dongfang Jian, Xiong Batian couldn't be happier. Tang Shitian had always been a thorn in his side, and now with Tang's death, Xiong Batian could finally relax, no longer living in dread.

There's a saying, 'Blessing in disguise,' Xiong Batian being chased by Gao Fei, stumbled upon Tang Shitian's place of Closed-door Cultivation by chance, and ultimately, with the help of Dongfang Jian, killed his formidable opponent Tang Shitian, from then on he could live at ease.

Dongfang Jian turned to look at Xiong Batian, "Master, lend me your Treasure Dagger for a moment."

"Eh?" Xiong Batian was taken aback, "What do you want to do?"

"To cut open his belly and take the elixir," Dongfang Jian said.

"Eh..." Xiong Batian frowned, "Using the Treasure Dagger to dissect a corpse is really... wasting its potential... You should find a sharp stone to extract the elixir..." The Treasure Dagger was Xiong Batian's lifeline, and he wouldn't let anyone touch it, not even Dongfang Jian.

Refused by Xiong Batian, Dongfang Jian's expression turned unhappy, "Master, do you not trust me? Worried that I won't return the dagger?"

"What are you talking about? You are my disciple, and I trust you very much."

"If that's the case, then why won't you lend it to me?"

"Didn't I just say? Using the Treasure Dagger to dissect a corpse is a waste..."

"That's an excuse! You just don't want to lend it to me!"

"How can you talk like that! Watch your tone! I am your master!"

"..." Dongfang Jian's face grew dark, "I'll ask you one more time, will you lend it or not?"

Xiong Batian grew furious, "I won't lend it; what can you do, rob me?"

"Heh!" Dongfang Jian sneered, "You're right, I do intend to take it by force." At this point, Dongfang Jian stepped forward toward Xiong Batian. "I didn't want to fall out with you, but who knew you would be so ignorant. I have no choice but to go to extremes."

"You dare!" Xiong Batian's eyes widened in anger.

"What wouldn't I dare?" Dongfang Jian laughed. "After taking a hit from Tang Shitian, you've become as good as spent. I could pinch you to death with just a flick of my finger." Dongfang Jian reached out, rummaged in Xiong Batian's chest for a moment, and then took out a dagger emanating a bone-chilling cold.

"I am your teacher," Xiong Batian protested in desperation, "How could you rob me of my possession?"

Dongfang Jian waved the dagger a few times, pleased with the feel of it, and looked sidelong at Xiong Batian. "When you taught me the Merciless Decision, you told me that to cultivate it to a profound realm, one must be utterly heartless! Only by being truly heartless can one cultivate Merciless Decision to the realm of Great Achievement."

"I..."

"I've been contemplating, what does it mean to be truly heartless? I thought about it a long time and finally got it..." Dongfang Jian's eyes began to shine, "Sever the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures, be devoid of compassion and love, kill all relatives, lovers, friends! Become a true loner!

Only by doing so can one cultivate Merciless Decision to the realm of Great Achievement." Dongfang Jian turned to look at Xiong Batian, whose complexion was terrible, "My dear teacher, am I right or not?"

"You... you..." Xiong Batian was filled with regret. When he had imparted the Merciless Decision to Dongfang Jian, he had no good intentions – he intended for Dongfang Jian to be a pawn, to help him uncover the secrets of cultivating the Merciless Decision. Little did he expect... to be outwitted by Dongfang Jian in the end!

This was clearly a trap set by himself!

What a sin!

"Killing you will make my heart colder, and I'll be one step closer to the Great Achievement Realm of the Merciless Decision." Dongfang Jian raised his hand, bringing it down slowly toward Xiong Batian's head, "After your death, I will bury you in the Yin Yang Sect and erect a grand and imposing stele for you. On the anniversary of your death, I will sweep your grave and burn paper money for you."

"Wait!" Xiong Batian exclaimed.

Dongfang Jian's descending palm paused, "What more do you want to say? If it's to beg for mercy, there's no need."

Xiong Batian gave a bitter smile, "I finally understand what a 'white-eyed wolf' means. You are one! I must have been blind to take you as my disciple. I regret it so much! I should have killed you with one slap in the beginning!"

"There is no such thing as a pill for regret in this world," Dongfang Jian replied indifferently. "Regret is useless now."

"Yes, indeed it is useless," Xiong Batian nodded. "I know I won't survive today. I won't beg you for mercy because it's futile!"

"Are you done?"

"No!"

"...then keep talking. For the sake of our past as teacher and disciple, I'll give you a little more time."

"Dongfang Jian, you just said you want to kill all relatives, lovers, friends?"

"That's right, I want to cultivate the Merciless Decision to the realm of Great Achievement!"

"Don't forget, your father is still alive. Do you really have the heart to kill him?"

"...Killing one's own father is indeed difficult, but I will do it."

"You..."

"Ever since I stepped onto the path of cultivation, I swore to the heavens that I would become the number one in the Cultivate Immortality World, slaying gods and Buddhas in my path, and even my father, if he gets in the way, I will not hesitate to kill."

"You... are ruthless!" Xiong Batian's face twitched uncontrollably, "No wonder you've been so successful in cultivating the Merciless Decision. Because your heart is cold, you are a cold-blooded beast without a shred of humanity!"

"Your description of me is quite apt." Dongfang Jian wasn't upset by the insult and spoke calmly, "I knew from a young age that I am a selfish person. Do you know what my life motto is? 'If one does not serve oneself, heaven and earth will perish!' I adore this saying; it's as if it was made for me! As long as I am well, everyone else can die."

"You're mad! To think that I accepted a madman as my disciple! How foolish I was!"

"Xiong Batian, I really have to thank you. You taught me how to cultivate immortality and passed on the Merciless Decision to me. I am grateful to you. Regrettably... To cultivate Merciless Decision and for this Treasure Dagger, I must eliminate you."

"Who would have thought... I, Xiong Batian, who once was considered astute, would end up falling into your hands. How ironic! Come, kill me! Before I die, I curse you – may you meet a terrible end!"

"Pff!"

Dongfang Jian crushed Xiong Batian's head.

"I... do... not... submit..." These were Xiong Batian's last words.

"Alas!"

Dongfang Jian sighed lightly, "What does it matter if you don't submit? The victor is king, and the loser is the bandit! You lost, so you must die!"

Killing Xiong Batian, Dongfang Jian felt no trace of guilt, for his heart was cold. What of a teacher? If he's a hindrance, he's as good as dead!

"Whoosh!"

Sparks drifted from the Treasure Dagger into the air and after floating for a while, slowly vanished. These sparks were Xiong Batian's mental power, attached to the Treasure Dagger to control it. Now that Xiong Batian was dead, the mental power on the dagger dissipated as well.

From then on, the Treasure Dagger became an unowned object.

As long as Dongfang Jian attached his own mental power to the dagger, he could control it.

Dongfang Jian's killing of Xiong Batian was impulsive, but it could only be said that Xiong Batian was extremely unlucky to have given Dongfang Jian such an opportunity!

In fact, Dongfang Jian had set his sights on the Treasure Dagger long ago and wanted it for himself, but he had to endure because he lacked the strength. However, fate was kind to him, knowing he coveted the Treasure Dagger, and so it gave him a perfect opportunity, allowing Dongfang Jian to kill Xiong Batian with ease.
