Chapter 724 - Make a Deal

Words : 1573 Author : Deep Feelings

Starting Chapter 724 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky": In the instant when the transmission of vitality was severed in the Lingkong Hall, Jiang... See what happens next!

In the instant when the transmission of vitality was severed in the Lingkong Hall, Jiang Wang already understood that he had made a wrong judgment.The Cloud Top Fairy Palace was not the threat posed by Jiang Yan, at least not for now.

On Chi Yun Mountain, Jiang Yan had him snatch the Cloud Top Fairy Palace, obviously not for his sake…

The reason probably was that Jiang Yan wanted it himself!

Once he fully occupied this flesh body, everything he had experienced and obtained along the way would naturally belong to Jiang Yan as well.

That’s why Jiang Yan never interfered with Jiang Wang’s gains, even often offering active help.

In such a decisive moment, the cost of a mistaken judgment could be death.

Perhaps the last chance for a counterattack had already been squandered.

Perhaps it was already a situation with no way out.

But Jiang Wang was still determined to draw his sword.

Among all his human path sword techniques.

This involuntary sword was the most desperate one, yet also the strongest.

Never give up resistance; never forget to struggle.

The strongest sword was drawn in the most desperate moment.

Fluttering softly, slowly approaching.

The Blue Smoke Hand reached out and grabbed it!

Every encounter Jiang Wang had in this world, Jiang Yan saw it all.

He remembered all of Jiang Wang’s human path sword techniques in his heart.

Besides Jiang Wang, the person who knew the human path sword techniques the best in this world was Jiang Yan.

And he had already caught Jiang Wang’s sword.

The most desperate and strongest resistance was forcefully stopped.

The sword spirit of Longing let out a severe tremor.

It was a sound of pain.

With just that grab, the newly formed sword spirit of Longing was almost destroyed.

The very origin of Jiang Wang’s god soul even trembled with it!

In such agonizing pain, Jiang Wang suddenly opened his eyes wide with anger, clenched his teeth, and shouted, “Jiang Yan!

Move again, and I will kill her!”

The faint glow of the Dark Candle trembled slightly, and the Blue Smoke Hand that firmly held the sword spirit stopped in its tracks.

Outside the ferociously contested Tongtian Palace, in the deserted underwater Demon Grotto.

Unbeknownst to when, Jiang Wang’s body had stumbled into the grotto on the left side, stopping in front of the Glazed Glass Coffin.

In Jiang Wang’s hand was Longing.

The tip of the Longing sword was suspended right at Song Wanxi’s brow!

At this moment, Jiang Yan had not yet finished the struggle inside Tongtian Palace, nor had he completed the possession of the entire flesh body.

The control of the flesh body was still in Jiang Wang’s hands, despite his spirit being on the brink of peril.

Jiang Yan was eliminating the Heart Demon, sealing off the Lingkong Hall, and guarding against Jiang Wang’s counterattack.

All his attention was concentrated inside Tongtian Palace, so he didn’t notice the flesh body’s movement.

In his eyes, Jiang Wang, being absolutely at a disadvantage, was even less likely to have the spare capacity to pay attention to what was happening outside the palace.

But once again, Jiang Wang brought him an unexpected turn.

In this moment, Jiang Yan immediately recalled the instant when Jiang Wang’s god soul origin was severed, and excruciating pain spread from within to without.

It must have been at that time that Jiang Wang, through excruciating pain, managed to divert a portion of his mental strength to manipulate his flesh body into action.

Such terrifying willpower!

“How about a trade?”

He heard the Jiang Wang before him say.

That powerful but utterly lacking God Soul Origin, which looked so unremarkable before him, now somehow seemed somewhat dazzling.

“What did you say again?” Jiang Yan rarely laughed, the laughter seeping through Dark Candle with a chill, “You won’t resort to threats against the weak to preserve yourself?

Remember?”

Jiang Wang stared unwaveringly at the Dark Candle, daring not and unwilling to relax in the slightest, “She’s not weak.

With the True Demon Form you mentioned, you remember, don’t you?”

“We were originally one, Jiang Wang, ask yourself, would you really care about a demon?

Is it not laughable that you are using a demon to threaten me?”

“Skip the pointless chatter, what do you say?” Jiang Wang replied coldly, “If it were really laughable, you would have killed me already, wouldn’t you?”

“Perhaps I just want to hear what you have to say.

After all, we have lived together for so long.

It’s inevitable that there are feelings involved.

And since we share the same origin, your pain and sorrow are also mine.” Jiang Yan slowly said, “In fact, you don’t have to resist so much, let me take control of this body, it will just be a new beginning for us.

A stronger, more perfect new beginning.”

“What ‘originally one’?

You are me.

There’s no need to say more!”

Jiang Wang moved his Longsword, signalling Jiang Yan to let go, “But you’re right about one thing, we’ve been together for so long.

So you understand me, right?

You know that before you destroy my God Soul Origin, my sword will definitely pierce through her forehead.”

Jiang Yan’s voice fell silent for a while, and the Blue Smoke Hand truly did loosen its grip, “It seems you’ve guessed something.

Did I underestimate your intelligence, Jiang Wang?”

“I admit you are clever, to concoct a nearly perfect lie immediately after I discovered you in Qingyang Town.

For a long time, I really believed that you were me, the negative part of me that had been tainted.

But we’ve been together too long, been through too much.

No matter how perfectly you disguise yourself, you can’t avoid all the details.”

Jiang Yan certainly knew this, which was why he later tried to avoid communicating with Jiang Wang.

But perhaps it was the common flaw of clever people, he couldn’t help but ask, “Like what?”

“Like when you sighed at the sight of the Autumn Kill Army’s battlefield charge, ‘This is the might of Qi’s ninth rank soldiers.’ When I asked you how the Bone Respecting God would know about Qi’s ninth rank soldiers, you said, ‘How can you aspire to become a present-day deity and herald the Bone Age without paying attention to the strong nations of this world?'”

Jiang Wang said, “But in fact, the Bone Demon God no longer understands Qi Country at all.

He didn’t even know about the fierce slaughter and was broken in front of the two armies’ formation.

So, you were lying.

Your knowledge of Qi Country doesn’t come from the Bone Respecting God at all, and you are definitely not me.

So who are you?”

Jiang Yan went through his memories to retrieve that moment and couldn’t help but sigh, “I didn’t expect you to remember my words to the letter.

It seems your caution against me was not formed overnight.”

The black-clad Heart Demon had been annihilated, and the Coiled Star Python fell powerlessly to the ground again.

It was probably the most pitiful Heart Demon in cultivator history, used as a pawn by others from birth to growth to destruction, never having had a chance from beginning to end.

Jiang Wang seriously said, “I don’t consider myself more intelligent than you, just that I have to work harder.

I have to be more careful and more vigilant.”

“So who do you think I am?” Jiang Yan asked again.

“I’d always had no idea who you were, until this time….”

As Jiang Wang grasped the manifested Longsword of the Sword Spirit, he slowly widened the distance between them while saying, “You know too much about the Qingjiang Aquatic Clan.

So much so that…

it’s like you’ve lived here.

I’d say in a place like the Water Race’s Demon Grotto, even among the Qingjiang people, there would scarcely be a few who know the secrets, right?”

“I knew it was very likely to expose me.

But to save you, it was a necessary choice.” Jiang Yan’s voice echoed back, “I thought your spirit was suppressed, perhaps you’d overlook the past.

In the end, I was careless.”

Perhaps it was not carelessness, but simply that there was no longer any need for concealment?

Jiang Wang thought to himself.

But he only continued to say, “The most important thing is….”

“What is it?” Jiang Yan cooperated.

“Seeing Song Wanxi, an immense sadness welled up inside me.

I don’t even know her, so that sadness could only come from you.

A sorrow so profound that even Dark Candle couldn’t shield it, it infected me.”

“Hahaha….” Jiang Yan laughed lightly, his voice tinged with a slightly desolate irony, “I, such a being, would actually feel sorrow?”

Ps:

Similar to the detail in Chapter 185 of Volume 2 that proves Jiang Yan lied, there are actually quite a few.

After all, Jiang Yan is not the true dark side of Jiang Wang, and he couldn’t avoid exposing some contradictions, though they are all very subtle.

For readers who are re-reading, feel free to look for them, it’s a kind of pleasure as well.
