The Invincible Corruption Manual

Then the eyes of the two drifted and saw the drops of blood flowing down from Joey's right hand, holding his azure-green long sword.

"Hmm, that's the result of holding back at the last moment." Chun Churan said coldly. "Do you even know why this technique is called the Heart Devourer Sword Dragon Technique?"

Joey remained unresponsive.

"The wielder of this technique needs to have only one thought in their mind that is their sword. The moment you give up your heart to your sword, you don't have any right to continue having feelings for me. It will only hold back the power of the sword in your hand. " Chun Churan further added, sniggering. "Hmm, don't tell me that there is still a feeling for me in that hollow chest of yours?! Ha ha ha, what a joke? "

"You are right. Even after learning the fact that you killed my father. Deep inside my heart, there is a shadow that keeps telling me that everything is a lie. Further, I should consider you as my enemy, but instead my heart tells me otherwise, causing me to waver. This caused me to despise and feel guilty. So I used that technique to feed my heart to my sword in the first place. Today I will kill you." Joey responded. " Sword flash!"

He disappeared and reappeared as an azure green shadow hitting Chun Churan.

"Sword flash!"Chun Churan also used the same skill at the same time. She turned into a white shadow mist and blocked the incoming strike from Joey.

Then the two continued clashing with each other. Within a second, they had already exchanged more than two thousand moves.

In the air, the two colors, one white and the other azure-green, met and separated at several spots.

They separated, dealing a heavy blow to each other. Both of them vomited blood.

Joey had lost several flesh over his chest, his left hand.

Chun Churan was not doing any better. There were multiple holes all over her body.  Bloods kept dripping down from their bodies, reddening the clear ocean water.

Both of them painted.

"It's becoming a headache. Why don't we finish this with a single move?" Chun Churan said coldly, "Get ready if you want to kill me. Remember the face of your dead mother and little sister? And come at me with everything you get." "Sword and man union!" she shouted and began channeling the skill.

Hearing her words, he began remembering good old memories of his mother and little sister. And suddenly ended with the painful memory of finding the burned-out bodies of them inside the house.

"Aargh!" Joey howled painfully once. He then recollected himself soon, replaced with an aloof expression. "Sword and man reunion!" He also began channeling the skill.

Soon, the aura of both of them skyrocketed. And a visible thick aura of one azure-green and the other white appeared around their bodies and kept increasing and it got elongated upward in the sky. It finally stopped forming a giant sword, each in their hands. The giant swords then began to compress slowly, stopping finally after regaining their original sizes.

Both of them made a WarCry and dashed toward each other and slashed their swords at each other.

The two again began to continue a barrage of strikes, striking at each other, trying to find a weakness.

At last, the two swords met and both of them kept pushing with them.

As they continued pushing, the sharp edge of the white sword in Chun Churan's hand began to cut into the sharp edge of Joey's azure-green sword.

"Aahh!" Joey groaned in pain as the sword which had now become his heart got a bit of damage.

" So this is the revenge that you always talk to me about. Fool, is this all you got? Then you will know how your father died. Keke." Chun Churan mocked him and laughed weirdly.

"Aahh!" Joey screamed and suddenly an immense amount of aura suddenly gathered inside his sword. The next moment, the broken part of his sword mended quickly and began to cut the white sword of Chun Churan.

With another wild shout, his sword went all through and cut the white sword into half. The upper half of the sword fell into the water below them.

"Aaahhh!" Chun Churan made a long and hoarse scream in pain. The broken white sword in her hand shattered and turned into white mist and disappeared shortly. She touched her chest as the pain was coming right from the region where her heart was before.

Pop!

Her chest burst with a popping sound, showing a hollow chest.

Chun Churan moved toward Joey, staggering footsteps. She then raised her hands, touched his cheek, and began to caress them affectionately.

"Tell me now. Why do you kill me, father?" Joey asked coldly.

"It's not me."

"Stop lying. Your blade essence qi was found inside the wound of my father. " Joey shouted.

"Brother Joey. It's..me, your..Ran-Ran. Don't…you…still… remeber..me? " Chun Churan said her words one by one while bearing the intense pain. "Forget..all…of..them. None … of… them … happened … in this … world… is… real."

"Not real! Stop spewing nonsense!" Joey shouted again.

Chun Churan removed the white veil, which was now partly tainted with multiple tints of red spots with her blood.

Joey saw an otherworldly, beautiful face smiling at him. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head, followed by various scenes of their memories together in the real world, beginning to flash back into his mind one by one.

Seeing the current facial expression of Joey looking at her lovingly, Chun Churan's smile broadened. "Now, do… you… remember.. me? " she asked.

"Yes, I remember you, Ran-Ran. I'm sorry about everything. " Joey replied calmly.

"No, don't.. blame… yourself. Everything… will… end… shortly. Things… here… are… nothing but… a long… bad… dre…am." She then fell over him, taking her last breath.

Two long lines of tears reached his cheeks. This was the first time he ever shed tears after his reincarnation. Even though this place was not the real world. Outside, the black dragon king, Ao Shun, opened his eyes and saw the two long lines of tears on Joey's real body exactly the same as inside the trial world.

"Hmm, now I'm satisfied. The trial became meaningless after this. Time to end it." Ao Shun, the black dragon king, muttered under his breath. He then shut his eyes again, sending his consciousness inside the part of his soul where the trial was taking place.

In the trial world, Joey hugged her tightly and said, "Forgive me Ran Ran, for not remembering and hurting you. "

After several minutes later, Joey shouted, "Old fart Ao Shun. Isn't it the time to end the trial?! You really went over this time. Quickly, send our consciousness back to our bodies."

The surrounding remained silent as no one responded .

After ten minutes later, he spoke again, "I know you can hear me. There is no need for me to continue this stupid trial anymore. Quickly send us out."

He got no response again.

"Hmph!" Joey heaved a heavy sign and said, "Fine, I will kill myself then." He then began to chant a suicide spell related to the Forbidden Heart Devouring Sword Dragon technique.

"Stop brat!" A voice thundered, pausing Joey to further chant the spell. "If you continue, then both of your consciousness will disintegrate and you two will die again in the outside world." A handsome youth appeared beside him. It was Ao Shun, the black dragon king that Joey had met earlier.

"You stupid, dirty old fart. Why is your trial so freaking abusive and revolved around us making enemies and killing each other? Aahh, I will surely pay you back with interest in the outside world," Joey shouted and cursed at him in annoyance.

"Hee hee hee, really. Then let's see how you will do that? " Ao Shun further explained, "Boy, don't take this to heart. It is just a trial and you have already agreed to risk everything, right? Blame yourself for not recognizing your own wife. She beats you in that. Don't you think it was strange for her, pressing you until now, looking down on you? It is all facade.  "

"You mean she has already regained all the real memories long ago?!" Joey asked.

"No. She regained her memories slowly after your separation. Also on that very mission to retrieve the black dragon key, she still hasn't regained her memories at that time. She stabbed your heart to save you from that man. The man was way stronger than her at that time. So that is the only way to save you. I am envious of you, boy. Even without her memories, she still has that much affection for you.  " Ao Shun, the black dragon king, responded.

"So you mean everything is just a fac….." Joey said softly.

"Yeah, it's just a facade." Ao shun breezed in before he completed his word. "Alright, boy, both of you pass the test."
