I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 331 - 326: Annihilating Sword Intent of Great Success

Du Youqian’s assessment was correct. This person was indeed being controlled by a wisp of a soul that Pang Master had temporarily split off using the Soul Splitting Art.

His expression had just changed because he had discovered that Du Youqian’s reinforcements were rapidly approaching and would soon arrive at Soul-shaking Mountain.

So, he used Telepathy to issue a command, ordering these Core Formation Masters to launch a fearless, suicidal attack.

But he never expected that just as he issued the command, before the Core Formation Masters could even act, Du Youqian would slash at him with his sword.

In that instant, Pang Master considered withdrawing that wisp of his soul to ensure his absolute safety.

He knew that Du Youqian had mastered the Annihilating Sword Intent.

And if the Annihilating Sword Intent reached the Great Success Realm, it was possible that upon slaying this body, it could follow that wisp of soul back to his main body and obliterate it, scattering his very soul.

However, he hesitated.

If he wasn’t here to hold the line, these Core Formation Masters under his command were not obedient children; they might scatter and flee immediately.

And if they failed to kill Master You De this time, it wouldn’t be long before Master You De would wield the Human Dao Sword, cooperate with a hidden successor of the Celestial Dao Sword, and restore the Yin Yang balance of Momenan, realign the Earth Veins, and halt the decay of Spiritual Qi in the land.

At that point, the organization he had painstakingly built would surely collapse.

’Besides, how old is this Master You De? How could he possibly have comprehended the Annihilating Sword Intent at the Great Success level?’

In that brief moment of hesitation, the sword Jinhuan was upon him.

Pang Master decided to first deal with this strike, then assess the situation and decide whether to advance or retreat.

Of course, he couldn’t just defend. While commanding a metallic, flower-shaped Defensive Treasure to block, he simultaneously unleashed one of his Divine Abilities.

’Diverting my focus to activate a Divine Ability will naturally affect my control over the Defensive Treasure, but it doesn’t matter. This isn’t my own body. Even if it gets gravely injured, or even killed, it’ll be worth it if I can severely wound Master You De.’

When Du Youqian saw that Pang Master didn’t retreat and even counterattacked, a strange light flashed in his eyes. He had originally intended this to be a feint, to tie up Pang Master for a moment, with the next strike being his all-out attack.

Now, he adjusted on the fly. He abandoned all defense, focused his entire Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and turned the feint into a true strike, channeling everything he had into Jinhuan to end it all in one blow.

Like a knife through tofu, Jinhuan silently broke through the Defensive Treasure in front of Pang Master and sank into his body.

Meanwhile, Du Youqian himself was struck by Pang Master’s Slaughter Divine Abilities. The powerful, corrosive energy was too much for even his Refined Body to bear, and the blood and qi throughout his body began to rapidly evaporate.

If he had activated his Copper Skin Iron Bone Divine Abilities, he probably could have withstood the blow with only minor injuries.

But in order to channel all his power into the sword Jinhuan, he had abandoned his defenses. The blow dealt him a fatal injury. He could feel death approaching, just a few breaths away.

But Du Youqian smiled.

Seeing Jinhuan sink into Pang Master’s chest, he smiled.

Pang Master’s expression turned from astonishment to terror.

"Great Succ—"

Before he could finish, his body suddenly turned to ash. A wave of Sword Qi swept through, scattering it to the winds.

The formless Annihilating Sword Intent followed a mystical connection, ignoring both time and space as it gave chase.

"The Annihilating Sword Intent at the Great Success level? Ah, no!" On the border of the Wu Kingdom, at Woniushan, the armored monkey’s body swayed. A look of disbelief and despair froze on its furry face as the light in its eyes dimmed.

Soon, its eyes lit up again, revealing a look of relief. The corners of its mouth curled up. "Heh heh, heheh, hehehehe, HAHAHAHA!" The pleasant smile turned into a maniacal laugh.

A cunning voice slipped from its mouth:

"You scared me to death! I thought I was going to die too... But he and I don’t share the same origin. I am a consciousness born within a corpse—a member of the Corpse Race, you could say. He, on the other hand, was a Split Soul from a Demon Race Great Saint Avatar. What does that have to do with me? There’s no way it could implicate me!"

"I really have you to thank, Master You De. I’ve wanted to get rid of that burden for a long time. I never thought it would be thanks to you that I finally cast him off, gained complete control of this body, and even seized all his memories and experiences in the process."

It stretched, shrugged, and swung its furry arms, reveling in the sensation. "This feeling... it’s just too wonderful! Heavens be praised! Since the day I was born, I’ve shared this body with that guy. I’ve never felt anything like this! Thank you, Master You De!"

It cast one last look in the direction of Soul-shaking Mountain, then quickly fled north.

’Since you think I’m dead, I’ll ’die’ for you then. But some of those subordinates are quite useful. I can’t just abandon them... but I can’t contact all of them, either. As for the fence-sitters, forget them.’

’Pang Master, oh, Pang Master... You always suspected me. You thought my goals were different from yours, that I didn’t want to shatter this world.’

’How ridiculous! I possess this Tier Six body, so why would I want to shatter this world? Even if I did and went to the outside world, it would be extremely difficult to fully advance to Tier Six and attain true long life. It’s better to stay here... there’s so much potential. Just watch what I can do!’

~~~~~~~~~~

In a scenic spot with clear waters and lush mountains, a monkey lounged lazily under a towering tree that pierced the clouds, seemingly made drowsy by the afternoon sun.

Many little monkeys chattered noisily beside it, but none of them could make it so much as lift a finger.

"Hm?" It suddenly opened its eyes.

"Great Saint, what is it?" a Vermilion Bird, which had been standing guard nearby, asked.

"It’s nothing." It closed its eyes again and chewed a few times, as if eating something.

’Where did this little guy come from?’

’His strength is weak, but this Sword Intent... it’s pure and has quite a kick...’

~~~~~~~~~~~

After Du Youqian slew Pang Master with a single strike, his own body teetered on the verge of collapse, his aura plummeting.

Anyone could see that he was on the brink of death.

Tears welled in Master Wu Ai’s eyes. "Mr. Baili!"

She didn’t know why, but her heart suddenly ached with such pain.

It wasn’t just emotional grief, but a real, wrenching pain in her heart.

It was a sensation she had never experienced before.

In the opposing camp, Lin Sha, who had used a Secret Technique to alter her appearance and aura, was also stunned. Her body swayed, and a pang of heartache shot through her.

Although she knew Du Youqian could reincarnate, seeing him so grievously injured made her wish she could take his place.

As for the Core Formation Masters loyal to Pang Master, although they were terrified that the Master he controlled had died by Du Youqian’s sword, they didn’t know that Pang Master himself had also been "implicated" and killed.

However, it was inevitable that their will to fight was now wavering.

Seeing Du Youqian about to die also left them with complicated feelings.

A powerful enemy was defeated, which was naturally a cause for celebration.

But they couldn’t help but admire Du Youqian’s strength.

For such a master to fall here and now made them feel a little regretful.

Du Youqian’s body teetered... but it just wouldn’t fall.

After swaying a few more times, he straightened up. His complexion turned ruddy, his aura surged, and he looked completely unharmed!

The Beautiful Daoist Nun stared, dumbfounded. "Mr. Baili, you...?"

Lin Sha, on the other hand, cursed under her breath.

’That guy... so he was just acting?’

Du Youqian extended his hand, and Jinhuan flew back into it.

Sensing that the reinforcements had completed their encirclement, he laughed loudly. "Fellow Daoists, now is the time to right the wrongs! What are you waiting for!"

As he spoke, the sword Jinhuan flew out, striking at the stubborn enemies.

In the crowd, the four Core Formation Masters who had already sworn to turn their coats suddenly attacked their allies.

Outside Soul-shaking Mountain, several Flying Boats appeared. Many of the Core Formation Masters couldn’t wait for the boats to get closer and leaped down impatiently.

Fang Hua, Zeng Baoming, ten Core Formation Masters from the Taihe Sect led by True Inheritance Core Formation Wu Zhi Master, including Jie Yu, and even True Inheritance Core Formation Nong Jiasong of the Holy Blood Sect had personally brought several Core Formation Masters to help.

Lin Sha had also intended to turn on them, but after a telepathic message from Du Youqian, she called out to Meng Xiao and Luo Jinyu, "We’re leaving, now!"

With Du Youqian providing cover and Nong Jiasong deliberately leaving them an opening, Lin Sha, Meng Xiao, and Luo Jinyu escaped smoothly.

The remaining few of Pang Master’s subordinates weren’t so lucky. Three were killed on the spot, and two escaped with heavy injuries.

Just like that, the crisis was averted.

~~~~~~~~~

After the battle, Soul-shaking Mountain was completely changed. During the great war between Core Formation Masters, if Du Youqian hadn’t intentionally protected it, even the small Daoist Temple and the graves of Long Ruzhen and Elder Tao would have been difficult to preserve.

After exchanging some pleasantries with the reinforcements, the groups went their separate ways.

Only Fang Hua remained. Jie Yu sent Du Youqian a telepathic message, ’My good disciple, your Divine Abilities are amazing.’

Du Youqian simply responded with a smile.

As the Flying Boats departed from Soul-shaking Mountain one by one, Du Youqian went to reinforce and tidy up the graves of Long Ruzhen and Elder Tao.

Fang Hua and the Beautiful Daoist Nun watched him from under the peach tree.

The Beautiful Daoist Nun suddenly asked, "Before, when you were injured and about to die, was that an act, or were you really hurt? If you were really hurt, how did you recover so quickly?"

Du Youqian answered vaguely, "That would be my Divine Abilities."

"What kind of Divine Abilities can heal injuries so quickly?" The Beautiful Daoist Nun frowned. "I imagine the cost isn’t small."

Du Youqian just smiled faintly.

The Divine Abilities he had comprehended allowed him to instantly recover from any injury, no matter how severe.

The price... was a portion of his lifespan.
