Chapter 2452: Chapter 87: True or False? (Part 2)

The white-fat boy stretched out his hand and squeezed, turning the fire realm into a crimson pill, as if he were eating a candy pill, and tossed it into his mouth!

Giggling, he took a short step forward and was already close to Jiang Wang!

Jiang Wang’s body hair stood on end, a spark of Sword Intent lit up from his extinguished crimson eyes, and his whole body erupted with Sword Qi!

Just at that moment, a stalk of grass suddenly appeared and landed on the white-fat boy’s forehead.

Swish!

The white-fat boy split open instantly, and then all his limbs disappeared without a trace. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Including his laughter and the powers he had consumed.

The stalk of grass landed in a slender hand, while Si Yu’an appeared in front of him.

A large area of water below had already become extremely clear, and Xu Ximing from the Palace of the Palace returned to visual and auditory perception, still wielding the six-foot longsword, meticulously slaughtering the Evil Observation.

He seemed completely unaware of what had just happened to Jiang Wang.

Regardless, Xu Ximing was real, which allowed Jiang Wang to relax a bit.

He bowed to Si Yu’an and said, "Thank you for your help, Master of the Archive!"

"After all, I brought you here to Saint Water. If you died, wouldn’t it be like muddy water falling on my pants?" Si Yu’an waved his hand, smiling faintly, "I also fear that Sword Pavilion might not last three months."

Jiang Wang realized that everything he had said at Sword Pavilion, even one word, was completely remembered by the Yandao True Monarch.

He could only reply with embarrassment, "I was reckless in coming to Saint Water, truly ashamed."

"It’s not your fault." Seeing Jiang Wang was indeed a bit down, Si Yu’an became somewhat serious: "To speak that name in front of you was indeed Huo Sect Master’s oversight. Some existences, know their names, but do not utter their names. Even in Saint Water, do not think of their names."

According to this implication... that white-fat boy was...

Jiang Wang quickly extinguished the thought in his mind and adhered to Si Yu’an’s warning, no longer thinking of that name.

Si Yu’an continued, "But the performance just now doesn’t quite resemble Bodhi Evil Ancestor... Do you know any other names?"

Jiang Wang hesitated slightly.

Si Yu’an calmly said, "I’m here, feel free to speak."

Jiang Wang replied, "Mixed Yuan Evil Immortal."

"Daqi’s Marquis Wu’an is indeed different, knowledgeable. Hehe..." Si Yu’an glanced at Jiang Wang, raised his grass sword diagonally, and stepped away.

He no longer mentioned Bodhi Evil Ancestor or Mixed Yuan Evil Immortal.

Only left a voice behind—"Think carefully!"

And beneath this voice, Jiang Wang tightly grasped Longing.

Names not to be uttered, names not to be thought of; what kind of existence is this?

At his level, he couldn’t fathom that kind of power.

Yet, Si Yu’an’s mention of not letting him hear Bodhi Evil Ancestor’s name seemed to hint at something.

Why did Huo Shiji make such an oversight? Was it intentional or unintentional?

The Qingyun Mark flashed by, Jiang Wang let his thoughts spin, and his body, sword and all, crashed toward the Evil Observation with an ox-body and bone wings. As he blocked the bone wings with his sword, he also unleashed Samadhi True Fire which adhered to its body.

He didn’t forget what he came to Saint Water to do.

Though his heart was still in fear, the longsword remained poised, his fighting spirit undiminished.

"Oh." Xu Ximing seemed to just notice Jiang Wang’s battle, somewhat surprised: "Your Samadhi True Fire has a unique essence, different from elsewhere."

Jiang Wang kept the Evil Observation outside the sword perimeter, continuing to burn it with True Fire, casually saying: "Pardon, Brother Xu. I don’t know how high-level seniors use this fire, I just use my own way to slowly figure it out."

"Human essence is the foundation of Divine Skills; Divine Skills are what cultivators use. You have your own path, so you need not concern yourself with high-level seniors." Xu Ximing wasn’t much to look at, but his tone was bold, smoothly extinguishing the Evil Observation before him, suddenly smiled: "Earlier, I thought you’d turn around and leave."

"Why say that?" Jiang Wang asked.

Xu Ximing did not provoke another Evil Observation but stopped, standing in mid-air, eyes gazing at the group of Evil Observation, a feeling of nostalgia for a moment: "The first time I came to Saint Water... was probably about thirteen years ago?"

"It was also my mentor who brought me here, also filled with passion, to subdue Saint Water, to guard the borders of the human race."

"But when I really came here, when truly encountering Evil Observation, I felt bewildered, felt powerless."

"Outside, I’m from the Palace of the Palace, a revered figure among my siblings. I maintain order, protect a region. Just revealing my name can deter many villains. But here, too many dangers I cannot handle; many times, I don’t even know where the danger comes from."

"Killing one or two Evil Observations at a God-approaching level is just average. If divine power is merely the foundational existence among these Evil Observations."

"I definitely do not wish to become anyone’s burden, nor want to claim any credit for subduing Saint Water under the protection of several True Monarchs. I felt the urge to retreat, unsure of what I could accomplish here."

"So I left at that time." Xu Ximing’s expression was somewhat bitter: "It’s hard for people to face their own helplessness."

He looked at Jiang Wang: "So, compared to your Samadhi True Fire, I am actually more curious... how do you still have such a determined fighting spirit?"

Jiang Wang casually turned the sword light, encircled another Evil Observation, and once again made Samadhi True Fire touch its body.

At this moment, fighting two fiercely fiery Evil Observations alone, still very effortlessly.

"I can’t speak of any grand reason." He answered calmly, "Maybe it’s because, I have faced my own helplessness many times."

Xu Ximing’s eyes showed some sympathy: "Isn’t it painful?"

Jiang Wang only said: "Indeed, there are some things I am powerless to do, some people I cannot defeat. But what can I do? This is the path I chose, and I cannot stop."

He said up to here.

Withdrew the sword, and simply grasped with his left hand—

Two clusters of Samadhi True Fire suddenly flared up, causing the two Evil Observations covered by Samadhi True Fire to vanish into smoke!

True Fire burned for so long; it had already "fulfilled its Samadhi."

"But if the path forward is already at its end?" Xu Ximing asked.

Jiang Wang encircled the next Evil Observation, still patiently seeking an opportunity to apply Samadhi True Fire, casually said: "Just as Brother Xu said earlier, if one can contribute an inch, then make an inch of effort, if one can strive a foot, then make a foot of courage. Otherwise, how could Brother Xu return to Saint Water?"

Compared to those few existences at the Yan Dao Realm, their overall damage to Evil Observation was certainly a drop in the ocean, let alone choosing such a "wellness" combat style.

But what is called contribution, should be this way, exerting the strength according to one’s capacity.

Even cultivators at the Inner Mansion Realm level of the Blood River Sect would still enter Saint Water to purify the water domain. They cleanse it drop by drop. Such efficiency almost cannot affect Saint Water, but it is also a piece of sincere heart.

One person, one breath, one droplet, what about ten people, a thousand people?

What about a hundred years, a thousand years?

It is precisely through hundreds, thousands, millions of years, countless cultivators dedicating themselves one after another, that Saint Water remains isolated here, keeping it from invading the human world.

Xu Ximing laughed loudly, and again charged out, colliding with the Evil Observation: "Brother Jiang speaks truly!"

Jiang Wang while exterminating Evil Observation, leisurely replenishing Knowledge for Samadhi True Fire, also casually asked: "By the way, let me inquire Brother Xu about someone."

"Who?"

"A friend of mine. Went to the Triple Punishment Palace a while ago for further study, named Lin Youxie. I wonder if Brother Xu remembers?"

"Never heard of this person."

She said not to go to the Executioner Palace; apparently not in the Palace of the Palace either. Could she have joined the Heavenly Rule Palace? Jiang Wang pondered, not affecting the combat. The Heavenly Rule Palace is indeed a good place, controlled by the leading figure among contemporary Legalists, whose power is immeasurable.

Xu Ximing continued: "But since it is a friend of Brother Jiang, how could anyone dare bully within Triple Punishment Palace? I will take care of it later."

Jiang Wang hesitated slightly, said: "Therefore, I must thank you in advance. But please don’t mention my name, nor make it too obvious. This friend of mine, though appearing aloof and silent, truly has a proud heart."

"I understand, I understand!" Xu Ximing said loudly: "I am best at taking care of people’s feelings!"

His voice seemed somewhat too high.

Or more precisely, was unknowingly raised by some rule.

Xu Ximing himself appeared unaware.

But Jiang Wang keenly sensed that within this Saint Water world, the sound pattern suddenly changed, subjugated by a whole new rule.

"Woooooo..."

Suddenly, a mournful cry echoed.

Not knowing where it began, what it originated from.

Echoing in the ears, resounding in the heart.

Spreading throughout Saint Water, sparking a raging tide!

What change has occurred again?

The Rootless World is indeed fraught with danger...

Jiang Wang felt a huge panic rising in his heart, cautioned against using Voice Broadcast Immortal Style to trace, instead immediately adopting a defensive stance, while closing off auditory perception!
