Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 175

Chapter 175: The Seven Emotions Killer

The seven colors of the rainbow illuminated the night sky, revealing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces.

The slender sword in Ping Jingyue's hand suddenly began to expand, and the tassel swept back around and fused with the blade. The sword became a giant rainbow sword that spanned the heavens.

Ping Jingyue stood proudly atop the sword, exuding such majesty and light that no one dared to meet her eyes.

The Seven Emotions Absolution Sword!

“The Thousand Passions Sect… You're a part of the Thousand Passions Sect?” Chen Naixing blurted out as he stared in disbelief at the dancing sword light in the sky.

It wasn't strange for the Thousand Passions Sect to have students in the Basking Moon Sect.

An Rumeng was one, after all.

But the problem was that the Thousand Passions Sect had a spy in the Basking Moon Sect!

This was a very serious problem.

The Basking Moon Sect and the Thousand Passions Sect had an excellent relationship and were extremely friendly to each other.

It wasn't strange for enemy countries to infiltrate each other, and even if this caused a mess, it could easily be explained away. In any case, nobody had any expectation of their enemy being merciful. But for friends to spy on each other was something else entirely. This sort of thing would undoubtedly deal severe damage to the relationship between the sects, and it would present a major strategic issue that could easily result in the destruction of the country!

It was no wonder Ping Jingyue was so unwilling to hand over her Mustard Seed Bag. She knew the consequences of being exposed.

But the betrayal of Yang Zhiyuan's group of three had caused all her efforts to go to waste. As she floated in the air, her sword energy rocketed into the heavens, and her eyes radiated killing intent. “All of you… must die!”

Her tone was as cold as the winds of winter, blowing across the heads of Chen Naixing and Chen Naian.

“Jingyue!' Liu Hongyan shouted in shock.

Ping Jingyue ignored her, pointing a slender finger at Yang Zhiyuan. “Seven Emotions Killer, Heart Questioning Sword, Joyful Parting!”

As she shouted, sword light emerged beneath her feet, and red light swept toward Yang Zhiyuan.

Aghast, Yang Zhiyuan tried to flee, but he somehow couldn't muster even a shred of resistance in his heart. In the face of this fearful red tide, he actually felt some delight.

He knew that this was because of the spell art of the Thousand Passions Sect.

The fighting style of the Thousand Passions Sect had never been about killing someone. First, they tempted the heart, confused the mind, and upset the soul.

Partings were sorrowful.

But for the Thousand Passions Sect, sorrowful partings became joyful partings.

In the face of this parting slash, Yang Zhiyuan felt no resistance, and he could only watch as he was engulfed by the red flood.

A moment later, a head flew into the air, brilliant colors in the eyes. It was as if he had witnessed the most beautiful sight in the world before dying.

Before the head could land, Ping Jingyue swept it up in her sleeve and threw it at the Chen brothers. “The head you wanted!”

She hated this group of people down to the bone, so she decided to deal with them first. With a wave of her sleeve, an orange light leapt out, accompanied by Ping Jingyue's callous voice shouting, “Galestorm spell, Immortal's Wrath!”

When the Son of Heaven was moved to anger, millions would die and blood would flow in rivers.

What, then, was the wrath of an Immortal like?

As the orange light descended, countless sword beams rained down on the group, accompanied by the rumbling of thunder. Vast surges of spiritual energy rocked the heavens and earth.

Ping Jingyue appeared like a Mortal Shedding Master, unleashing the strongest of spells and transforming her surroundings. The area for several kilometers around became engulfed in clouds, with rainbow light lighting up the sky and orange flames seething in the clouds.

“Run!” Chen Naixing cried out in panic.

Chen Naixing had given up all hope of fighting back against Ping Jingyue's terrifying Seven Emotions Killer and the imposing power of the Seven Emotions Absolution Sword. All he could think about was escaping.

But it was impossible for him to escape.

The furious wave of orange light engulfed the disarmed Li Yijing and Liang Shengxian first. The two of them had only managed to run a few steps before the orange light caught up to them, and then their bodies dissolved like melting snow, leaving nothing behind.

The orange light continued forward, quickly catching up to the Chen brothers' group and sweeping up the last person.

The rest of them stared in alarm at the approaching orange cloud. One of them shouted, “Senior Brother, save me!”

The Chen brothers exchanged a glance and suddenly aimed their palms behind them, each at a different student. “Gustfire Shot!”

Boom! Boom! One of the students exploded with wind while the other exploded with flames, the mixture of the two producing a massive secondary explosion. The Chen brothers borrowed the power of the explosion to speed their escape while the orange cloud faltered and began to dissipate.

Ping Jingyue was still a student, so her power was limited and she could not use the true power of the Seven Emotions Killer. And the Chen brothers had also reacted swiftly to the situation, escaping certain death by using the lives of two students. But their actions had also caused them to lose four people.

Seeing that the attack had been stopped, the Chen brothers looked at each other again and shouted, “Sun-Moon Flight!”

Their bodies flashed with the radiance of the sun and moon—a sign that their escape spell was about to activate.

Sun-Moon Flight was a practical and decent escape art available to the students of Basking Moon Academy. With basic mastery of this spell, one could instantly flee several dozen kilometers. But it needed two people to use, and they needed to be very synchronized with each other.

The Chen brothers were twins, so their understanding of each other was far greater than average, and this Sun-Moon Flight was one of their ultimate techniques. It was only with this escape spell that they were able to commit so much evil without fear of being captured.

Now that Ping Jingyue had displayed her might, the two of them were in no mood to battle and took to their heels!

Ping Jingyue raised her eyebrows. “You want to run? Stay right there! Mad Dance! Laughter of No Return!”

The Seven Emotions Killer: Joyful Parting, Immortal's Wrath, Grieving Fields, Laughter of No Return, Love of a Thousand Passions, Unpardonable Evil, and Heart's Desire.

Joy, wrath, grief, laughter, love, evil, and desire were known as the Seven Emotions, and each had their specialty.

To be more precise, this was not a singular spell art. Rather, these were special effects that could be applied to a spell art, granting them different effects. This was why Ping Jingyue would use one of her own spell arts before using the Seven Emotions Killer, combining the two for a stupendous power.

The Six Desires Mantra and the Seven Emotions Killer were the foundational arts of the Thousand Passions Sect, comparable to the Basking Moon Sect's Violet Jade Mantra and Divine Firmament Sword Classic.

But while the Divine Firmament Sword Classic was the result of the effort of countless Titans of the Basking Moon Sect over its long history, the Seven Emotions Killer and Six Desires Mantra were left behind by the founder of the Thousand Passions Sect.

It was said that even the founder had only managed to reach the level of Love of a Thousand Passions, never able to truly break through the delusion of emotions and dying with regret. This was why the Thousand Passions Sect had taken its name, swearing to break through this threshold.

While Ping Jingyue had the Seven Emotions Killer, she only understood it on the surface level, so her Seven Emotions Absolution Sword was far weaker than if it had been used by a true master of the Thousand Passions Sect.

Even so, the Seven Emotions Absolution Sword enhanced by the Seven Emotions Killer was still enough for Ping Jingyue to beat everyone silly. A simple Galestorm spell was able to become a lethal large-scale spell.

Laughter of No Return was the part of the Seven Emotions Killer that specialized in undoing escape spells. It could both pursue enemies and hinder them!

If she were fighting a Mortal Shedding Realm Master, her Laughter of No Return would be useless, but it was more than enough for the Chen brothers.

A green light flashed, and then the green waves rippled out, an endless paradise of amusement reflecting within them.

When the Chen brothers brought their palms together, nothing happened. There was only the dancing of the spiritual torrent that seemed to mock them for not knowing their own strength.

Their Sun-Moon Flight spell had dissipated all on its own.

The two of them instantly began to run in panic.

Ping Jingyue coldly stared at the remaining four. “You think you can run? Hurricane Sweep, Unpardonable Evil!”

As she spoke again, her Hurricane Sweep activated, and that rainbow sword flashed with blue light and flew down.

Hurricane Sweep was a flight spell that could also be used to neutralize attacks, but Ping Jingyue was using it now as a flying sword spell, sending her sword slicing down.

The two brothers saw that this wasn't good and began to form spells as they ran. They cast the spells at the same time, and then their bodies blinked away. Through some method, they had somehow switched positions with the other two Basking Moons students.

The giant sword gracefully flew down and made a circle, upon which two fountains of blood gushed into the sky, Ping Jingyue taking down two with one slash. Just as she was about to continue her pursuit, the two brothers suddenly made weird faces. They formed hand signs and then raised their palms up to the sky. “Rise!”

Boom! Boom!

The two headless corpses exploded simultaneously, causing Ping Jingyue to stagger, vomit blood, and fall from the sword. It was clear that this sneak attack had badly wounded her.

The two brothers heartily laughed. “Despicable woman, you thought that you were something else just because of your Seven Emotions Absolution Sword? I have to thank you for killing off all those burdens and saving us some money. Don't worry. Once we kill you, we'll take away your Seven Emotions Absolution Sword and make sure that nobody hears about any of this. The Basking Moon Sect will remain good friends with the Thousand Passions Sect for the rest of time!”

The two brothers attacked in unison, one with a saber and one with a sword.

At this moment, someone roared, “Pilewave Sword!”

Sword light flashed! Bang! Bang! The attacks of the brothers were blocked.

The Chen brothers realized with a start that Cai Junyang was now standing in front of Ping Jingyue.

The Chen brothers were furious. “Have you gone crazy? She's a Thousand Passions Sect spy! With her identity exposed, she has to silence all of us. If we don't kill her now, you think you can escape her Seven Emotions Absolution Sword?”

Cai Junyang grunted, “That's for me to worry about. Anyway, I won't let you do this to her.”

Chen Naixing's face flashed with murderous intent. “You're seeking death!”

Although Ping Jingyue had killed until only the brothers were left, they were still fourth-year students, two people who had cultivated more than two years more than Cai Junyang, and they were also brothers. Even as two versus three, they still had a very high chance of victory.

But this was likely to end with both sides badly injured, and if Ping Jingyue managed to exploit this to her own ends, then it wouldn't be worthwhile.

Chen Naian swiftly said, “Cai Junyang, don't be a fool! This woman won't let any of us go! Let's work together and kill her, and then we can deal with the matter of the head. What about it?”

Cai Junyang pursed his lips. “Working with human trash? I have no interest in that. I haven't forgotten how those idiots from just now died.”

“Bastard!” Chen Naixing wanted to vomit blood. “If you stop us now, you'll know remorse once you die under Ping Jingyue's hand!”

“Is that so?” Liu Hongyan suddenly spoke up. “I don't think that's so certain. There are actually a lot of things that aren't necessarily secrets. And she might not be the only one with secrets. And some secrets aren't as valuable as you think they are.”

“What did you say?” The Chen brothers were taken aback.

Liu Hongyan began to hover in the air, lightning crackling around her body.

With thunderclouds holding her aloft, she reached into her bosom and took something out.

It was a small token upon which was written the word “律” (Law)!

Beneath the “律” was a hooked silver moon, the tips as sharp as blades and stained in blood.

“The Basking Moon Law Emblem!” the Chen brothers shrieked in unison.
