Chapter 32: Heart Demon Tempering Knife

  Lantern Festival is here, I don't have that culture: cooking reunion dinner on Yuanxiao, the whole family gathers in a circle, firecrackers ignite laughter, old and young are joyful, guessing lantern riddles brings happiness, family love is carefree. Wishing you a happy Lantern Festival with a harmonious and prosperous family, good fortune and peace.

  No fancy moves, the blood-red flower bloomed on the knife's edge, and every time it injured the giant bear beast, it would absorb a certain amount of blood. And Wang Tao, his body had an extra hint of imperceptible bloodiness!

  Blood was stirred up, and the fighting spirit in his chest soared to new heights, reaching its limit. The repeated collisions were undoubtedly the fastest way to boost one's momentum, but also the most exhausting method! However, this only applied to the giant bear beast, as Wang Tao was a different story altogether - the special power that was repeatedly triggered within his body supported him through each collision without feeling fatigued...

  In this battle, both sides have exerted their physical strength to the limit. The giant bear's enormous power is an advantage, but Wang Tao's speed has restrained its weakness. At this time, the giant bear's entire body was covered in wounds, with black and red bloodstains all over every place, while Wang Tao wasn't much better off either, having been slapped by the giant bear several times, his bones, which had undergone several strengthening treatments, were fractured in many places, but he didn't care about these at all because he had some spiritual healing medicine on him!

  "Die!"

  Wang Tao suddenly burst out with a loud shout, he found a flaw in the giant bear's attack. Just as the giant bear lifted its front paws, its chest was exposed, and Wang Tao took advantage of this opportunity to dodge the bear's pounce. His eyes gleamed with precision and stability as he swiftly and decisively executed his Accurate Intention and Stable Intention!

  Stable and strong, a heavy sword calms the sea!

  It's as if time has come to a standstill!

  The two auras were simultaneously unleashed, causing the giant bear to momentarily freeze in shock. Meanwhile, the nameless knife stabbed precisely into the giant bear's chest, leaving it completely unable to react!

  "Plop!"

  The piercing sound was so ear-piercing that the entire blade of the nameless knife directly poured into the chest cavity of the giant bear beast, leaving only a handle!

  "Wow!"

  The Nameless Blade didn't stay in for long, as Wang Tao directly pulled it out. Worried that the small Nameless Blade couldn't thoroughly kill the giant bear beast in one go, he stabbed another fierce knife into the giant bear beast's chest cavity! This time, Wang Tao didn't immediately pull out the Nameless Blade, but instead abandoned his grip on the knife and suddenly flew backwards! The crazed Wang Tao didn't notice that the pierced chest of the giant bear beast didn't have a single drop of blood flowing out!

  "Although two knives can kill it, this is a process, and for me, this process is extremely dangerous!" Wang Tao was crazy, but that didn't mean he wasn't rational. He clearly understood that before dying, the giant bear beast would definitely struggle once more. As the saying goes, "a hundred-legged bug dies but doesn't stiffen", although the giant bear isn't a hundred-legged bug, it's still a ferocious beast!

  "Ahh! ~"

  The intense pain made the giant bear beast mournful and wailed, its voice was bleak and moving.

  "You are a fierce beast, and if I don't kill you, you will surely kill me. Since you have embarked on the path of demonic immortals, you should have expected this day to come!" Although many fierce beasts had already died at Wang Tao's hands, he still went through the motions of sending it off! It wasn't that he was benevolent or hypocritical, but simply to calm his own heart.

  How many people have gone mad on this murderous road since ancient times? It can be said that they are countless! Have their wills not been firm? Obviously not! Wang Tao, he didn't want to be the next one, although he knew it was useless, but he still did it, just to make himself feel a little more at ease.

  "Boom!" With a loud roar, the giant bear's body suddenly collapsed, its eyes already gray and white, its life breath gone.

  "Hmm"

  Just as Wang Tao was about to step forward and collect the giant bear's corpse, the nameless knife suddenly trembled! A faint sound was transmitted, as if it had entered Wang Tao's heart and mind.

  "What's going on?" Wang Tao only felt that the space around him suddenly had ripples, as if it were water, and every move he made was like stirring up waves!

  "Caw caw caw caw......"

  A piercing shriek reached Wang Tao's ears, like the wailing of a god or the sound of bones scraping against a knife. This sound made Wang Tao's brain suddenly explode with pain, and he involuntarily covered his head and let out a painful hum!

  "Who is it?!" King Tao, driven mad, did not collapse from the extreme pain, but instead was stirred up by his arrogance, loudly shouting in his mouth.

  In the space like water, suddenly ripples emerged, a figure came from afar, every step stirred up endless spatial ripples... This figure made Wang Tao's eyes suddenly bulge!

  "How is this possible!"

  Wang Tao exclaimed, and saw a figure in the distance holding a dark red knife slowly approaching. The ordinary face had an evil smile! This person was Wang Tao himself, or rather his appearance from his previous life!

  "What's impossible?" The young Wang Tao sneered, looking at still-young Wang Tao with a slight raise of his eyebrow and a smile.

  The blood color in Wang Tao's eyes flashed suddenly, and then returned to normal. Looking at the young man, Wang Tao was silent for a few seconds before asking in a slightly hoarse voice: "Heart demon?"

  "Right! You're not too stupid after all! However, it's a bit late for you to realize this now. I'll let you pass... but only if you can get past me!" Young Wang Tao said with an evil grin.

  Wang Tao fell silent again, and after a brief moment, he suddenly lifted his head to look at the young man. He shrugged helplessly and said, "It seems that what's meant to come will still come! I knew my cultivation had advanced too quickly, and having just broken through the Soul Barrier, it hadn't stabilized yet. The Heart Demon is easiest to invade when one can't resist the killing intent in their heart. When I couldn't hold back that urge, I knew I would have this calamity. In the end, I still managed to attract you!"

  "Haha, it seems that after your cultivation, your intelligence has improved a bit, and you've even learned to think... Young Wang Tao strolled around Wang Tao with an air of ease, his words laced with a provocative inquiry, "Do you know why you attracted me?"

  "Isn't it that my cultivation has improved too quickly?" Wang Tao asked with a slight frown, clearly neither side had any intention of fighting immediately.

  "Heh, is that just what you think? Do I need to give you a hint? ... For example, was that mysterious mountain village really that simple? Do you think a group of ordinary people dare to survive in this crisis-filled deep mountain forest? Is Xiao Gouzi's revenge really that simple?"

  Young Wang Tao's series of questions made Wang Tao frown, and Young Wang Tao continued: "Actually, you've already realized it, but you just don't want to admit it. Because there are the puppy who sympathizes with you, the old village chief who makes you feel warmth for the first time, and..."

  "Shut up!" Wang Tao's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and before the young man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a loud shout.

  "Haha! This is the reason you brought me here!" The young Wang Tao's smile grew thicker, and he turned to look at Wang Tao, "Actually, you had suspicions about all this, but you didn't want to uncover it. You were afraid that if it was true as you thought, you would lose everything! Your value, is there still any? Are the promises you relied on still there? So you chose to bury this past, and even the idea of going back to look at it again, you don't have the courage for it! With a heart like yours, how can you talk about cultivating immortality? With a temperament like yours, how can you talk about being firm?"

  "Shut up!!" Wang Tao's eyes flashed with a fierce light again, but he didn't explode. His voice was cold and sharp. How could he not know these things? But this was the trigger for the heart demon to descend? However, Wang Tao didn't believe it. He would rather believe that this heart demon had the ability to probe into his own memories!

  "If all of this is indeed the catalyst that summons my heart demon, then it's true that I'm not resolute enough! But I, Wang Tao, am not so weak that a mere conjecture would create a vulnerability in my mental state, allowing you to take advantage of it!" Wang Tao gazed solemnly at the young man who was the manifestation of his heart demon, his voice ringing out with determination. "No need for idle chatter, your goal is simply to amplify the doubts within me and boost your own strength while weakening mine. I won't let that happen easily! If you want war, then let's have it! This time, I'll use you to temper my Nameless Blade! Who knows what benefits there will be in tempering the Nameless Blade with a heart demon? Moreover, your thoughts will become the intent of my Soul Knife!"

  "Gah! Are you really going to do this? Don't you know that the person you've offended has already arrived? Why not...” The demon in King Tao's heart was still trying to tempt him, but King Tao didn't give him a chance. With a swift motion, an unnamed sword appeared in his hand, and his icy face was filled with endless killing intent!
