Beast Taming Chapter 492: Broken Sword Monument

Shi Yan was suddenly struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

"Gongyang Zhongyu, he's actually dead? How is this possible?" Shi Yan didn't believe it. At that time, Gongyang Zhongyu had already entered the golden elixir stage. With a sword in his hand, no one could resist him. "How could he be dead!"

"This is the news from Zhongtong Jianmen. When Huajian Sect and Zhongtong Jianmen fought, Gongyang Zhongyu returned to Zimu Liuhua Territory to fight for Zhongtong Jianmen, but was killed on the battlefield." You Qingmeng felt a little nervous when he recalled that scene. "The sword was so powerful that it was terrifying and made people tremble physically and mentally. Afterwards, people from Zhongtong Jianmen found Gongyang Zhongyu's sword on the battlefield. It was a broken sword, but Gongyang Zhongyu himself was nowhere to be found. Even his body could not be found. It is estimated that he has been reduced to dust."

"After all, that sword was too powerful, shocking the heavens and earth, and making the gods and ghosts weep. No one would believe that Gongyang Zhongyu could escape the attack of that sword." You Qingmeng said: "Now, in front of the mountain gate of Zhongtong Jianmen, there is still a mark of that sword."

"I don't believe it. How could Gongyang Zhongyu die so easily? I have to go and see. I have to go to the scene and see it." Shi Yan didn't believe it, or rather, he didn't dare to believe it. Although he didn't have much contact with Gongyang Zhongyu at the beginning, he formed a brotherly friendship. "I haven't even fought him yet, how could he die!"

You Qingmeng was a little worried about his current mental state and said, "I'll go with you."

The two left Qingmeng Villa and headed towards Zhongtong Jianmen.

On the way, Shi Yan asked You Qingmeng: "Why did Zhongtong Jianmen and Huajian Sect fight? Wasn't Huajian Sect an ally of Zhongtong Jianmen at that time?"

You Qingmeng glanced at Shi Yan, sighed and said, "Because of Gong Yang Zhongyu."

You Qingmeng only said a few words, but Shi Yan understood instantly that it was not because of Gongyang Zhongyu, but because of the relationship between Gongyang Zhongyu and himself!

Gong Yangzhongyu had declared on more than one occasion that Shi Yan was his recognized rival. It was this sentence that made people mistakenly believe in the relationship between the two and brought him disaster.

Shi Yan clenched his fists angrily and blamed himself, "It's all because of me! If it weren't for me, how could Gong Yang Zhongyu, with his strength, suffer such a disaster? With his strength, he would shine even if he went to Tianmen Territory. He has a bright future. How could he fall here?"

"This is not your fault." You Qingmeng persuaded: "This is all caused by the Huajian Sect."

"Tang Xi and Ni Hong's Huajian Sect? Haha, the old grudges haven't been settled yet, and new grudges have been added!" Shi Yan said hatefully.

Before approaching the sphere of influence of Zhongtong Jianmen, Shi Yan saw the sword mark left by the horrific sword that You Qingmeng said killed Gong Yang Zhongyu.

This can't be called a sword mark at all, it's a huge canyon that divides the earth in our eyes.

Standing there, you can't see the end of the river at either end. It's a mile long and bottomless.

Even before getting close, one can feel the chilling and chilling sword intent.

The remaining sword intent raged in the sword scar, making this place an insurmountable forbidden zone of death. Even if a Jindan cultivator entered, he would be immediately shredded into pieces. The remaining sword intent was able to retain such power, which was enough to show how powerful the person who swung this sword was.

"How great is the hatred that they actually sent out such a master to kill!"

"Let's go in and take a look." Shi Yan said.

"No, it's too dangerous here." You Qingmeng said.

"It's okay, this amount of power can't hurt me." Shi Yan protected You Qingmeng and rushed into the sword mark.

As soon as it entered the sword mark, the sword intent was like a school of piranhas seeing their prey go into the water, and they immediately surrounded and attacked frantically.

"Hmph, trouble!" Shi Yan snorted coldly, raised his hand to summon a glass vase and put You Qingmeng inside, then summoned the Yin-Yang Twin Butterflies Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai had a very good restraining effect on the power of sword intent which did not have specific five elements attributes.

Sword intent came flying towards them, and Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai flapped their wings and flew forward.

Fine black and white light powder fell on the exquisite wings of the Yin-Yang Gemini Butterfly, forming a misty fog area. The sword intent immediately became well-behaved as it entered the fog area, and swam docilely in the fog area.

This light powder has an assimilation property, which is to assimilate the properties of the attack received, thereby counter-controlling the attack energy.

In other words, this group of sword intent that swarmed in like piranhas turned into docile fish after entering the light pink fog area.

This energy can even be stored and released when needed.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were having a lot of fun. Shi Yan and You Qingmeng also came to the place where Gong Yang Zhongyu was.

A broken sword was embedded in the ground, with scars all over it.

This is the tip of the sword, the front half of the flying sword held by Gong Yang Zhongyu. The back half was recovered by Zhongtong Jianmen and is now preserved inside Jianmen.

Shi Yan squatted down and grabbed the soil around him to feel it carefully.

These muds were completely free of any scent of Gongyang Zhongyu, which meant that when Gongyang Zhongyu died, he did not come into contact with anything. In other words, he was directly killed by this sword and disappeared from the world!

Or maybe he suddenly disappeared without a trace in some form and left here.

It was just like what happened to me on the Mohist Fairy Island.

But that encounter was so unique that it is almost impossible for the same thing to happen again.

All this is just Shi Yan’s expectation.

Shi Yan pulled out the broken sword and put it in his bag, then turned to You Qingmeng and said, "Let's go to Zhongtong Jianmen."

"But, don't you have a feud with Zhongtong Jianmen? I'm afraid it will be too dangerous to just go like this..." You Qingmeng suddenly stopped talking, because she felt that what she said was a bit redundant. Even she couldn't see Shi Yan's current strength, which meant that he had already exceeded the scope of Jindan. Then what was the danger in entering Zhongtong Jianmen?

The Yin-Yang Twin Butterflies, which had absorbed all the sword power here, were full of energy. The beautiful patterns on their wings looked even more exquisite. They fluttered to Shi Yan's side and rubbed his cheek affectionately, then returned to the chaotic space of Dantian.

Ever since Zhongtong Jianmen suffered a major blow, Gongyang Yichen resigned from the position of sect leader and went to Chatian Peak to serve as a sword protector.

The death of Gongyang Zhongyu was a huge blow to him.

When he learned that Gongyang Zhongyu had died, his eyes turned pale and filled with tears of blood.

Gongyang Yichen used to be full of vigor and ambition, but now he is like a withered tree, without any spirit.

When Shi Yan saw him, he was standing beside the sword tomb at the top of Chatian Peak, staring at the sea of ​​clouds in a daze. His head full of white hair and sunken eye sockets made him look even older.

I don’t know what he was thinking, he didn’t even notice Shi Yan walking behind him.

Finally, You Qingmeng spoke and saluted, and he reacted and turned around to look at them.

His movements were sluggish, like a dying person with little life force left.

No matter how much hatred they had for each other back then, when they saw him become like this, everything disappeared.

"Senior." Shi Yan called softly.

"Are you Shi Yan?" Gongyang Yichen smiled bitterly, "What are you doing here? Are you here to see me make a fool of myself? I'm glad you did. Now, I'm born into this world to make a fool of myself. I'm sure you find it very pleasing to watch."

"Senior, you misunderstood." Shi Yan said, "I heard that Brother Gong Yang has become a Taoist, so I wanted to come and see what he left behind."

"Zhongyu?" Gongyang Yichen recalled with tears in his eyes, "Back then, he was very optimistic about you and thought you were his only rival, the only person he admired in the entire Zimu Liuhua Territory. He thought highly of himself and gave you such an evaluation. I was very disdainful. But from what I saw today, what my son said is absolutely right. Your current cultivation must be much higher than mine. You have grown to this level in just one year. You must be a genius that is hard to come by in five hundred years."

"We are rivals, but also friends."

"Friends? Zhongyu said so too." Gongyang Yichen said, "When the women from Huajian Sect came to kill me, I advised him to clarify his relationship with you, but he stubbornly called you his friend." Gongyang Yichen's eyes suddenly flashed with hatred, "So it can be said that you are one of the indirect murderers of my son. How can you be his friend if you killed him like this?"

"I understand that Brother Gongyang's death is closely related to me, and it is reasonable for you to hate me, but I feel that Brother Gongyang could not have died like this, or rather, he is not dead!" Shi Yan said.

"What?" The expectation in Gongyang Yichen's eyes was very obvious.

Shi Yan said, "I have also encountered a similar situation. When I was about to die, I moved to another place and escaped. So I guess Brother Gongyang may not be dead. The fact that there is no trace of Brother Gongyang left in the field is also one of the evidences. Even if he died in an instant, there must be a soul after death. Even if his soul flew away in an instant, there will be residual soul and spirit left. The traces of a person can never disappear without a trace, so I guess Brother Gongyang is not dead."

"How is it possible? When Liu Shang personally took action, the entire Zimu Liuhua Territory was no match for him. How could Zhong Yu still have a chance of surviving?"

"Liushang? That kind of rubbish can kill Brother Gongyang? Even if his cultivation is insufficient, with Brother Gongyang's combat experience, he is no match for that kind of rubbish. Now I am more certain that Brother Gongyang is probably not dead."

"Where is Gong Yang Zhongyu? How did he escape?" You Qingmeng asked curiously.

"I don't know where Brother Gong Yang is, but how did he escape? As long as we gather this flying sword, I think we should be able to find out." Shi Yan took out the broken sword he got from the sword scar and said, "Senior, do you know where the other half of the broken sword is?"

"I know. It's in the back mountain. I'll take you there." Upon learning that his son was most likely not dead, Gongyang Yichen immediately perked up.

After Gongyang Zhongyu died, he was buried in the back mountain. Only a cenotaph was built behind the mountain, because everything of Gongyang Zhongyu was gone, except for half of his flying sword.

The tomb is very simple, just like Gongyang Zhongyu himself, who is not involved in external things and is devoted to the Tao.

The only decoration was the only half-broken sword left. The broken sword was inserted in front of the mound and became Gong Yang Zhongyu's tombstone.
