C2328 Change of Heart
Ji Changfeng's crazy eyes became more and more determined.
There were many factors that caused him to make such a decision to betray his friends. The two biggest ones were the olive branches from the Golden Island. There was also hatred for the Redbud Chamber of Commerce.
There was no need to say much about the Golden Island's roping in them. There was also the protection of the Young Island Master. It was enough.
If it was just this, it would not be enough to make a Tribulation Transcender who was one of the Seven Swords of Swordsman Island do such a treacherous thing. It was truly too difficult to endure.
The Swordsman Island had always considered itself to be righteous. It had the motto of eradicating the weak and punishing the weak and uplifting the good. The direct result was that they did not have money, divine essence stones, or spirit materials. These were all things that required money.
As the righteous Swordsman Island, it was naturally impossible for them to fight for all kinds of heavenly treasures and divine essence stone mines without any scruples. They needed face and memorial arch.
Coupled with the fact that the Changfeng Sword was ranked at the very last of the Seven Swords, the resources it was able to obtain were even lesser. After all, it was going to be divided slightly by others.
Actually, this couldn't be surpassed either. So long as one was willing to do so, it was sufficient to only be used for cultivation. There was no place for him to enjoy himself.
However, when compared to the Tribulation Transcender experts of the Golden Island, the treatment they received was far too inferior.
Without sufficient resources to cultivate and enjoy at the same time, Ji Changfeng's progress was slow. This formed a vicious cycle that was difficult to extricate himself from.
Back then, when the seven swords had gathered together, they had formed Swordsman Island for the sake of justice and passion in their hearts. Now, so many years had passed.
In the face of cruel reality, many ideals had long been destroyed and became twisted beyond recognition.
They had been living a tough life for a long time. His initial heart also gradually changed.
Ji Changfeng sometimes wondered whether the righteousness and hot-bloodedness back then had actually been wrong from the start. Because he had seen too much ugliness in so many years. He had long become numb to it.
When he saw the injustice draw out his sword to help, countless villains had already died under his sword. But there were really too many villains, and he couldn't kill them all no matter what.
If he killed one, then another one would emerge very quickly.
As he killed, he killed. He was tired, and his sword was dull. He even started to hesitate, and he felt that this world was supposed to be like this in the first place. The strong respected the strong and the weak. The so-called justice was just bullshit.
The world was ugly to begin with. Without justice, only strength was the only justice.
After understanding this, he began to pursue pleasure and glory, no longer just for the so-called illusory justice and glory to draw his sword.
At this time, the Golden Island found him, and the two sides struck it off.
It was just a friend, but a friend was sold out, that was what he thought in his heart.
Towards Bai Jun, this person, he actually acknowledged him, and indeed sincerely made friends with him. However, the bad thing was that Bai Jun was a member of the Redbud Trading Company, and his status was not low.
He was extremely disgusted with the existence of the Redbud Trading Company.
According to what she knew, the Redbud Trading Company had two great financial paths in the Western Sea Region. One was to sell slaves and sell the sea race to the human race's territory in the Divine Realm. They also sold the human race to the sea race to obtain unjust wealth.
The second was to sell stolen goods, kill people to seize treasures, kill people to steal goods, and so on. The stolen goods obtained through various underhanded methods could be circulated through the special channels of the Redbud Trading Company.
It could be said to be extremely dark, and under the surface's brightness was an ugliness that could not be looked at directly.
However, all existences in this world were reasonable. The Redbud Trading Company being able to continue existing without collapsing naturally had its own reasons. After all, everyone more or less had a side that couldn't be seen through.
It was precisely because of this objective that the Eternal Wind Sword started to come into contact with Bai Jun.
Since the beginning, he'd had some motives in his heart. It was only after several hundred years that it finally exploded at this moment.
Ji Changfeng's sudden betrayal had reversed the situation, and Master Yin Xu and Li Tong's cooperation had undoubtedly given Bai Jun a heavy blow, pushing him to the edge of the cliff.
However, he wouldn't admit defeat so easily.
"Good, Ji Changfeng. Haha, very good. I was really blind back then, and that's why I got to know you, this greedy thing." Bai Jun said fiercely.
"Brother Bai, your words are too hard to hear. People always change, and so do I." Ji Changfeng said calmly.
On the contrary, the few disciples behind him seemed to be slightly uneasy.
After all, he had to face a Tribulation Transcender. Wanting to kill him was too difficult. Even if a portion of his strength was suppressed by the sealing force here, he didn't dare underestimate it either.
"Then let's see who's the winner today. Let's see who's the winner." Bai Jun was furious. His qi and blood surged. A terrifying green-red energy soared into the sky. It was violent to the extreme. As soon as he attacked, he used his full strength.
"Young Island Master, back off." Li Tong warned as he leaped into the air with the Vajra Staff in hand.
With a flash of golden light, the Vajra Staff in Li Tong's hand rapidly grew larger, larger, and larger at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it grew to a hundred times its original size.
Li Tong leaped into the air like a giant ape. Then, he swung the staff down fiercely.
Everything had happened too quickly. It was obvious that he had been planning this for a long time. The Young Island Master subconsciously retreated a long distance before he felt slightly relieved.
"Young Island Master, don't worry. Your subordinate will protect you even if I have to risk my life."
Next to him, a guard at the peak of the Prominent Divine stage said in a deep voice.
"Yes." The Young Island Master nodded.
Although the other guard had gone missing for some unknown reason, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive, it shouldn't be a problem for him to protect himself with a guard and his own strength.
It wasn't just the Young Island Master, but also the three disciples of the Eternal Wind Sword, as well as the two disciples of Master Yin Xu, who had retreated as quickly as possible.
No one would be stupid enough to think that they could get involved in a battle between Tribulation Transcenders.
Now that the battle had begun, what they needed to do was do it. There was only one thing that they needed to do. That's to stay far away from the aftermath. Once the time was right, he could launch a sneak attack on Bai Jun.
Protecting himself first was the first priority.
In the arena, Bai Jun did not wait for death when faced with Li Tong's giant rod. A faint light flashed in his left hand, and a dark golden shield that was close to the height of half a person appeared in his hand. Suddenly, countless runes appeared on the surface of the dark golden shield.
Bai Jun roared angrily, and his left hand held the shield to block it.
Clang ~
With a muffled sound, a formless sound wave that carried a terrifying energy spread out in all directions, causing one's heart to feel like it was about to split apart. It was as if a huge rock was pressing down on one's chest, making it difficult for one to breathe.
It could be seen that this was extremely dangerous.
Bai Jun's face turned red. The dark golden shield was being suppressed tightly. He was originally inferior to Li Tong in terms of strength, so he was clearly at a disadvantage in this battle. However, he still had some tricks up his sleeve.
A golden fireball quickly formed in the palm of his right hand. He slapped it forward, aiming for Li Tong's face.
Li Tong's expression changed slightly. He lowered his legs and kicked the dark golden shield with all his might. He flipped backwards at an extremely fast speed and dodged the fireball. Then, he turned his hand in the air and smashed his staff down again.
