Chapter 55 The Reason for Leaving Back Then: The Breaking Technique!
"I really can't bear to kill you."
"I don't understand, what exactly did those people from the Spirit Hall give you that makes you so devoted and unwilling to leave?"
"As long as you ask, our Clear Sky Sect can give you anything!"
"I'll give you another chance. If you're willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light, the Clear Sky Sect's doors will be more than happy to open for you."
The Fifth Elder sighed softly, watching Qin Mu's departing figure, his words gradually softening.
"Ha, hypocrite!"
Qin Mu landed on the snow, got up and stretched his stiff limbs, then looked coldly at the Fifth Elder.
"Your Clear Sky Sect keeps saying you're willing to give me a chance, but in the end, all you value is my talent."
"As long as I refuse to submit, I will be annihilated."
"In this respect, although the Spirit Hall has the same idea, they are fundamentally different from you."
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder couldn't help but feel curious and continued to listen patiently to Qin Mu's explanation.
"The Spirit Hall values my talent, and they chose to give me the best treatment to cultivate me."
"The elders of the Spirit Hall didn't put on any high and mighty attitude towards me; they treated me like their own junior."
"On the other hand, you, clinging to the title of the number one weapon Spirit sect in the world, think that you are the most remarkable group of people. Even if I show my talent, you still think that you are so great."
"And what about Sister Nana's care for me over the past six years, and Sister Ling Yuan's life-risking protection just now? Is this something that people from your Clear Sky Sect would do?"
"All you ever talk about is the rule of the strong, but in reality, you're just dogs to the strong!"
At this point, Qin Mu ignored the Fifth Elder's increasingly dark face and took two deep breaths to calm the anger in his chest.
"It was Tang Hao who caused the trouble, which led the Spirit Hall to launch a major attack on the Clear Sky Sect!"
"And how many people from the Clear Sky Sect's affiliated sects died in the face of the massacre by a force like the Spirit Hall? Some were even wiped out!"
Even so, they are willing to believe in you and hope that one day you will come out of seclusion and avenge them!
"But what about you?"
Qin Mu recalled his days at the foot of Clear Sky Sect Mountain, remembering the down-on-his-luck sect leader who taught him to cultivate spiritual power.
He was the only one left in the entire sect that was slaughtered while he was covering the Clear Sky Sect's retreat.
But Clear Sky Sect used them as pawns. They paid such a high price, but did not receive even the slightest compensation from Clear Sky Sect!
The poor, foolish sect leader kept telling Qin Mu to cultivate diligently so that one day he could contribute to the emergence of the Clear Sky Sect.
And what about Uncle Tai, Aunt Ma, and others? Didn't they gradually lose trust in the Clear Sky Sect over the years of waiting?
Otherwise, why would they let him leave?
The world is vast, but because they are an affiliated sect of the Clear Sky Sect, they have nowhere to go.
"When you first invited me to join your sect, did you offer me any respect in the conditions you set? Did you give my deceased mother enough respect?"
"It's because of my mother, and because of Uncle Tai and those people, that I am who I am today!"
"But you, with such great strength, can only cower in a desolate mountain village, bossing around those affiliated sects who once trusted you so much!"
"You made me be your dog before, and when I refused, you told me to leave."
"Now that my talent is being displayed, you're rushing to curry favor with me?"
"Will you bring up those outdated customs and practices again after I get back, saying that disciples of the Clear Sky Sect must have the surname Tang?"
"I'll be your grandma's surname! I bet all of you Clear Sky Sect people are from the Tang Dynasty!"
"Even if I die, I will never bear the surname Tang!"
Qin Mu's face was contorted with rage, his forehead veins bulging, and he became increasingly agitated as he spoke, even uttering profanities.
"I joined the Clear Sky Sect six years ago. Before that, I didn't choose to exterminate you all because of Uncle Tai and the others."
"Looking back now, it was a mistake. We should have taken the lives of everyone in your Clear Sky Sect back then!"
"Come on, you want to take me away? If you can't take me away today, tomorrow I will definitely bring all the elders of the Spirit Hall and wipe your Clear Sky Sect clean from top to bottom!"
At this moment, Qin Mu had lost his previous calm and refined demeanor; his hair was disheveled and his cheeks were flushed with anger.
"Okay. Okay! Okay!!!"
The Fifth Elder, instead of being angry, laughed, his eyes filled with all his patience as he looked at Qin Mu.
"So this is what you think of the Clear Sky Sect!"
"So what? In the end, aren't those affiliated sects just seeking the protection of our Clear Sky Sect?"
"Back when our Clear Sky Sect was at its peak, how did they flaunt their power and prestige, relying on our name?"
"Their deaths at the hands of the Spirit Hall are simply a consequence of their own lack of strength; they have no one to blame but themselves!"
The Clear Sky Hammer in the Fifth Elder's hand gradually grew larger, eventually reaching about three meters in length.
"Since our Clear Sky Sect cannot have you, then you shall remain here forever!"
With a sudden stomp of his foot, in Qin Mu's eyes, the Fifth Elder had almost instantly covered about half the distance.
Seeing this, Qin Mu immediately released his own Spirit.
Compared to the Fifth Elder's three-meter-long Clear Sky Hammer, the Clear Sky Hammer in Qin Mu's hand was like a toy.
Upon seeing Qin Mu release his Spirit and the three spirit rings—one yellow and two purple—rise above his body, the Fifth Elder's eyes widened in astonishment.
"With this kind of spirit ring configuration... it seems we can't let you live even more!"
He swung the Clear Sky Hammer at Qin Mu, but Qin Mu did something that surprised him.
Qin Mu neither dodged nor evaded, but swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, and the hammer technique seemed somewhat familiar to him.
Before he could think any further, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand had already smashed towards Qin Mu.
"The Breaking Technique!"
To the astonishment of the Fifth Elder, Qin Mu actually used the Breaking Technique from the Nine Absolute Techniques of Clear Sky!
With the soul bone skill attached to his left hand, plus the Breaking Technique he had just learned, Qin Mu's inconspicuous little hammer collided with the Fifth Elder's big hammer.
As expected, Qin Mu was sent flying backwards, and the impact caused him to feel a surge of blood and qi.
But the Fifth Elder was terrified.
He could clearly sense that Qin Mu had completely mastered the essence of the Breaking Technique he had just used.
However, the Nine Absolute Techniques of Clear Sky are the secret techniques of Clear Sky Hammer, and even he studied them for several years before he could grasp their essence.
Where is Qin Mu? He only witnessed the battle between Tang Xiao and Ling Yuan earlier!
And just like that, Qin Mu's Breaking Technique was executed so smoothly!
It was precisely because Qin Mu used the authentic "Breaking" technique that the Fifth Elder was distracted when he attacked and did not unleash his full power.
"You can learn it in just one try?... "
"Such talent is truly... unparalleled throughout history! Even if my uncle came, he absolutely could not do it!"
The Fifth Elder broke out in a cold sweat.
If he were to see the Nine Absolute Techniques of Clear Sky, or even the Great Sumeru Hammer, could he possibly learn them?
"This child must not be allowed to live!"
