Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1330 - 72: Unrestrained Heart

"Before you answer, I want to know, do you love my soul, or my body? Please answer me, otherwise, I won’t answer your question."

Zhou Yan asked after pondering for a moment.

The woman in the white gauze dress also fell silent.

Ultimately, she gave an answer that was beyond Zhou Yan’s imagination but expected: "Do you think I’d prefer your soul or your body?"

"Perhaps, I don’t even know what liking is, so how could I talk about liking? My ideal is to pursue the supreme King Realm; for this, I can do whatever it takes. As for other things, I haven’t thought about them."

It sounded like he was talking to himself, yet it also seemed like he was questioning and answering himself, indeed chilling to the heart.

"Yes, so I am clearly aware of one thing, I’m neither Zhou Yan nor Gles; I am Lei Yan King, Emperor Lei Yan Lee Yi."

Zhou Yan also provided his own answer.

Then, he gazed calmly at the figure in the white gauze dress with his back turned.

The peril he had anticipated did not occur, and the endless killing intent seemed to disappear suddenly, with the intense sense of crisis dissipating as well.

As that figure with her back to Zhou Yan finally trembled softly and suddenly turned her body around.

It was a very familiar and stunning face, an imprint of the most perfect, most moving, most outstanding yet transcendent moment of the Holy Daughter Jiang Yuning.

The voice was also that of the most perfect moment, and so was her appearance.

Therefore, it goes without saying who she was.

This was the true Yamina.

Only such a Yamina could be the real Yamina.

"Are you Lee Yi? Why don’t you seem like it?"

Yamina slightly frowned, asking a very questioning query.

"Does Lee Yi need to look like Lee Yi? This question is actually quite ridiculous."

Zhou Yan chuckled self-deprecatingly and said casually.

Yamina gave Zhou Yan a faint glance, saying, "What brings you here? Since we agreed to mutually benefit back then, as things are incomplete now, why wake up so soon? It’s of no benefit to either of us—though Gles is just a poor wretch, as for you, existing in this way will only backfire."

"You’ve overthought it."

Zhou Yan said indifferently.

He didn’t let Yamina’s remarks affect his emotions, nor did he delve into any mental reflection or derivation.

Anything Yamina said, Zhou Yan didn’t even bother to think about, only engaging in a very simple exchange.

Because by this time, Zhou Yan knew that he had inadvertently torn open an unknown mysterious veil.

"Overthought it? Maybe I overthought it. What did you come here for?"

"Give me your Life Soul."

Zhou Yan directly stated his demand.

"Are you joking? Never speak of such words again, or don’t blame me for harshness, breaching the initial plan."

Yamina’s tone was icy, her eyes holding a clear disdain for all life.

This was an unspoken killing intent—for the Life Race, once they disdain life, it is the most intense killing intent.

"Half of the Life Soul in exchange for a betrothal condition, and then I’ll leave. The King Realm is not easy to achieve; to think to attain the King Realm without a price is too naive."

Zhou Yan’s tone turned a bit colder, not showing Yamina any friendly expression.

"The price? I haven’t paid enough? Otherwise, why would you think the prison land, with my bloodline, allow a series of Life Blood to be spilled within, even some women derived from these bloodlines being defiled as well? Drop your filthy thoughts!"

Yamina’s words were filled with a destructive suppression force, almost shattering Zhou Yan’s soul.

But Zhou Yan did not retreat.

He suddenly smiled and said, "If you’re unwilling then so be it, there’s no turning back on this path, if you’re unwilling, there are seers among the Eternal Life Tribes who are."

"Are you threatening me?"

Yamina’s face grew a bit more severe, her beautiful eyes filled with an aura of danger.

This kind of piercing stare made her resemble the gaze of a vicious snake, filled with assertiveness.

"What if I am threatening you? Otherwise, would you suppress me? Destroy me?"

Zhou Yan smiled, his voice carrying a sense of disappointment and self-mockery.

Yamina’s face changed several times, ultimately the storm-like killing intent gradually dissipated.

"Fine, I’ll give you half of the Life Soul, but this is the last time. If there’s a next time, I’ll abandon everything and ensure you suffer eternal damnation!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

As Yamina spoke, she began to seal herself with the utmost power of cold ice, then slowly opened her brow—a life ancient tree emerged as Zhou Yan watched closely from her brow.

But that life ancient tree had already blossomed and borne fruit, the fruit was a unique golden leaf, radiating a terrifying Power of Life.

This leaf, there was only one, and at this moment, Yamina was about to split this leaf in half.

But right at that moment, Zhou Yan suddenly said, "Wait."

"What is it? Want to gain more benefits? Just knew you are such greedy—"

"No, I don’t want it anymore."

Zhou Yan stated.

"Furthermore, I’m telling you, I am Zhou Yan, not Lee Yi. Regardless of life and death, at least I once or maybe still deeply love you, so even if I die now, I would have no regrets. There are some matters where I don’t want to be a pawn or do anything according to anyone’s wishes.

Therefore, the Life Soul that I could obtain, I choose to abandon.

The opportunities I could acquire, I choose to abandon as well.

I am who I am, not a puppet or anyone’s pawn!"

"Being here, I also know that once I reveal my True Self, I will certainly face eternal damnation, but now that I’m already in eternal damnation, trapped in the unknown True Void Heavenly Prohibition, so what if the storm gets more intense?"

Zhou Yan suddenly changed his mind.

Why desire this half of a Life Soul?

Why feel disappointment towards Yamina?

No matter the process, since my love for Jiang Yuning always exists, how could it possibly be discarded due to Jiang Yuning’s reasons?

In the past, on Sword Burial Ancestor Star, Jiang Yuning’s Life Soul was not saved, is it worth repeating now?

Regardless of being schemed against, if my mind remains fearless to Heaven and unashamed to others, unchanged at heart, then it’s true freedom and indifference.

Indeed, as Zhou Yan spoke so, Yamina’s complexion changed dramatically, then Yamina’s gaze became exceedingly grave, evidently a bit perplexed and uncertain looking at Zhou Yan.

Yet, suddenly an unknown white light shattered this piece of heaven and earth, and Zhou Yan was instantly swept away by this unknown, suddenly appearing white light, his body shattered directly, disappearing without a trace.
