Chapter 19: The True Origin of the Slaughter Dao

  It was deep into the night, and this family banquet had lasted for more than two hours.

  Miao Miao sat across from Mu Hongyu, her face downcast and pale. She thought that her fate might be changed forever by a single word from the woman in front of her. Miao Miao's heart couldn't help but feel some fear.

  Miao Miao has always been a fearless girl, but today, she was afraid. She wasn't afraid of being kicked out, what she feared was that Tang An would be disappointed in her.

  Muhong Yu sat opposite Miao Miao, with a hint of scrutiny flashing in her eyes from time to time.

  "Looking at her appearance, she's only thirteen or fourteen years old. Has she really suffered so much hardship? Her mother is dead, and her father actually wants to sell her? If that's true, then she's a pitiful person indeed."

  Mo Hongyu thought to this point, her heart had already somewhat retreated. If she really couldn't tolerate this girl, then it was herself who was narrow-minded. It didn't seem like the style of the great female hero Mo. But from ancient times to now, there hadn't been a female hero as unsuccessful as herself, fighting with someone over a husband.

  Thinking of this, Mu Hongyu looked up at Tang An again. His face was already expressionless. Naturally, he couldn't see any joy or anger, nor could he see any tension. From Tang An's slightly dazed eyes, Mu Hongyu already knew. Tang An had probably entered his heart and soul cultivation again.

  She couldn't help but curse in her heart: "This damn bastard, wasn't this trouble caused by him? Why am I the one who's all tangled up?"

  Miao Miao looked at Yu for a while, and this girl really moved people's hearts, especially her gentle bowing of the head, making people love her dearly. If she were a man, knowing her circumstances, she couldn't help but want to take good care of her too.

  Mantianyu thought of this, helplessly shook her head, sighed, and finally decided to compromise.

  "I know that if I were to drive you away, he wouldn't say anything on the surface but would definitely be reluctant in his heart. This person has always been a stingy one and won't easily give his emotions to others. People who don't know him think he's like the sword in his hand - ruthless and unfeeling."

  Actually, anyone who understands him knows that he's a very sentimental person. If you leave, he'll definitely go look for you. He's not saying anything now, it's just that he's more considerate of my feelings.

  "But if I were to drive you away, it would be my fault. Because he considers my feelings, I also cannot ignore his feelings. If that's the case, he will definitely be unhappy. He doesn't say anything, but there must be a crack in his heart. I don't want him to be unhappy." Mu Hongyu said this, and she saw a glimmer of light rising in Miao Miao's dim eyes, and she faintly smiled: "You understand what I mean, right?"

  Miao Miao nodded repeatedly, her heart leaping with joy, because her home was still intact.

  Tears had already formed in Miao's eyes, she didn't know why, but she felt that the stone suspended in mid-air in her heart had finally been put down. Before, she always thought she was dreaming, but today, she truly felt that she had found something to rely on.

  Miao Miao wiped away her tears, and her appearance was already pitiful. At this moment, her eyes were slightly red, making her look even more delicate. She lightly bowed to Mu Hongyu and said: "Thank you, sister..."

  Muhong Yu was taken aback, and as she listened to these words, her heart felt an inexplicable pang of sadness. For some reason, she thought back to the time when she was forced into marriage by her father and brothers, with no one speaking up for her. Instead, she had coincidentally met Tang An, and the two of them had escaped from Shu Mountain together. Although that period of time was filled with fear and trepidation, now that she thought about it, it seemed to have been quite interesting after all.

  …………

  Women are indeed a strange creature, no matter how hostile they were before, as soon as tears flow, they quickly form a united front, laughing and discussing topics of interest to them. Such as clothes, such as headwear... After discussing for half a day, the spearheads of the two began to slowly shift, finally pointing directly at Tang An.

  Unfortunately, this unromantic guy is now meditating with his eyes closed.

  Xiao Xie's hand held a large chicken leg, and her small face was like a little flower cat as she ate. At this time, she stretched out her small paws towards the good wine in front of Tang An: "What is that thing? It smells so good."

  Just then, Xiao Xie suddenly felt two cold lights shining on himself. Xiao Xie was startled and flashed his body, looking up to see that Mu Hongyu and Miao Miao's eyes were flashing with fire as they looked at Tang An. Xiao Xie immediately became excited again: "Good! Finally going to fight!"

  On one side of the Hou Mansion, Nian Wushuang and Yuan Wanli quietly watched the three women on this side who were chatting and laughing, and a smile also appeared on their faces.

  Yuan Wanli laughed loudly, slapping the railing: "I didn't expect Tang An to be so popular with women, looking like a cold-blooded killer. Why doesn't this good thing happen to me?" Yuan Wanli wanted to continue speaking, but Nian Wushuang had already left. Yuan Wanli suddenly kicked the railing in boredom: "Really... if Nian's father were alive, he would definitely beat you up badly seeing your current state. It seems like you really want the Nian family to become extinct... Alas, what does this have to do with me?"

  …………

  Today is already June 3rd, and there are only three days left until the Battle of Green Cliff Canyon on June 6th. The people in the Hou Mansion have also started to get nervous, and the guards sent by His Majesty have doubled. Even the servants and maids are being extremely cautious when moving around, afraid of disturbing the rest of Master Hou.

  Tang An was sitting quietly in the backyard, which had become a forbidden area where no servant was allowed to enter. Because Tang An had been sitting there for three whole days. Mu Hongyu and others came to check on him every day.

  Xiao Xie stood to one side, curiously gazing at Tang An from afar. Tang An was like a stone, standing still and unmoving, with some fallen leaves stuck to his body.

  Xiao Xie suddenly said: "Xiao Mu, Xiao Tang is doing what? He looks so strange, just like Master. He's been like this for three days, won't his stomach be hungry?"

  But at this moment, Tang An was entangled with the killing sword in his heart and didn't have the mind to observe his surroundings. Within three days, he had merged another sword into his killing dao yuan sword, and now he had already merged six styles of killing swords. Since he chose to enter the demonic path to cultivate the sword, he found that this killing sword yuan sword seemed to be more condensed in cultivation and easier to merge.

  This sword is indeed a demonic sword, and not some righteous sword!

  Tang An's true energy circulated rapidly through the meridians in his body, and suddenly, a brilliant light burst forth from his skin, like ripples on water, spreading outward in all directions. The entire courtyard was filled with a soft, ethereal glow. His mind was entwined with thoughts of the several great battles he had fought since arriving at Yanjing City, each unfolding slowly before his eyes, as if time itself had slowed down. Every move his opponents made replayed in his heart. And when the final battle against Ge Luoba reached its climax, Tang An's condensed Qinglong stance failed, and his technique merged with his true essence, combining three sword strikes into a single, mighty killing blow - the Killing Sword Essence.

  Killing intent, sword intent, had been brewing in his heart non-stop, and at this moment, it had reached its peak!

  Black sword energy shot out from the meridians all over his body, gradually condensing into a small sword at his brow, and then suddenly stabbed towards himself!

  The protective true energy protected Tang An in the first moment, but this protective true energy couldn't withstand the sword energy and was instead engulfed by it, starting to merge with the sword energy. In less than a moment, the originally pale golden protective true energy directly turned black!

  But Tang An found that the golden true yuan in his meridians had all been merged with the black killing sword yuan.
