Chapter 175: Fate Of A Protagonist
"Miss Luo, while I do respect your choice I don't think giving up on living is something we should do. You might feel hard to live especially in your condition. But, there are people in this world who are happy to be alive."
"In this world, you don't know when you will get killed. Heck! Even I might get killed tomorrow. Who knows if the future? It's not like I have fate to be alive all the time" Qin shook his head and tried to convince Luo Xue but at this moment, Xiao Lan's voice rang in his head.
"Young Master, I think you do have that fate. A fate of a protagonist!"
"What do you mean? I can live forever?" Qin asked with confusion.
"Of course not, I didn't mean that. Even the person with the fate of a protagonist can die. But, you do have to remember that you have the fate of a protagonist. No matter how much you try to dodge the problem, it will end up coming to you."
"Of course, you aren't the only one with such fate. Although you can be a protagonist, you can have a different fate. When I brought Miss Yue and others inside, I found something interesting. The coffin that you were supposed to open was opened by Guan Xing because you didn't do it."
"So, technically, he is someone with protagonist fate. But, you could also be the one. And, if you have this fate, in most cases, you won't die." Xiao Lan explained but his explanation made him even more confused.
'I don't understand. What's the point of telling me this? And, in which case could I possibly die?' Qin asked.
"I don't know. I have lived through three eras but each had different results. In the previous era, Mike Tyson was the one with protagonist's fate but he died. Even though he got resurrected, a protagonist isn't supposed to die. He got reincarnated for what? Just to create his harem."
"Before him, there was another age. It was the age of your big brother, Johnny Fenton. Although he is the person with Protagonist Fate, he didn't become the strongest. Instead of him, his wife becomes the one who reached infinitely closed to three swords and one fist."
"And, before his era, it was your father's era. He was the person with protagonist's fate. But in the end, he didn't become the strongest. My master and that cockroach were able to stand toe-toe with him. This completely changes the concept of protagonist fate."
"And, the reason why I told you this is because you no longer have that protagonist fate. I mean you have but not the complete one. If I wasn't here and if these girls weren't here, you would've died. Because three swords are no longer in this world."
"Bad news for you but they have already left and now, if you die, no one can truly save you. Because your bloodline is a true rebellion, I had to hide it from heaven. Because once it finds out, it will send every single troop to kill you."
"And, that's the exact same thing that happened to Mike except his enemies were different. And, that's why I started this topic and told you this." Xiao Lan explained.
Qin paused for a moment and asked 'So, you mean if I might have a chance to live in a desperate situation but I shouldn't lead myself to the desperate situation.'
"Yes, being low-key is the best choice. Save your strength and once a strong person attacks you, kill him instantly. Then, go and hide! After a few years, come out with new strength. That's the safest way to live." Xiao Lan answered.
'Well, you are indeed correct but, there are many things that could go out of control. And, there is no point in thinking too much. I mean I will stay low-key for strength but that's it. I am not going to let others bully me. There is no point in face-slapping. I will just smack their head to the walls.' Qin replied.
"Uhh…. Young Master, it will create more problems for you." Xiao Lan's tip slightly twitched as he replied.
'I know but there is no point in hiding. This world respect geniuses and I will get a much better life living as a genius than an underdog. I can take insults but only those which will help me improve. So, I am not going to live a life of an underdog.'
'Xiao Lan, let's drop this matter. We don't know what will happen next and I need to cultivate.' Qin instantly drops the matter and turned his head at Luo Xue. After all, she still hasn't replied. Although Qin was talking to Xiao Lan, he was still alert about his surroundings.
Luo Xue didn't speak a word and they continued having a barbecue. Fortunately, Yue Bin had already brought enough meat before he woke up. Otherwise, they might have to start with vegetables.
After the barbecue, they separated. Yue Bin went to some other side of the mysterious space. Tan sisters stayed together but also left far away. Luo Xue and Liu Bing did the same. Only Qin was left alone. He sat on the ground and closed his eyes.
Now, his foundation for the sword was so strong that he could make a continuous breakthrough and that's what he wanted. His sword cultivation was only at the fourth stage of Sword Heart Realm and that's because of Sword Dual Cultivation with Qiao Fu.
But now, he could easily start forming sword meridians and connecting with his sword heart. Sword Meridians aren't real but they aren't completely virtual either. They are made out of sword energy with a certain amount of sword attributes.
The stronger the sword attribute, the powerful those meridians can be. And, the more he learns about Sword Attributes, the more meridians he can form. Basically, sword cultivation boils down to the comprehension of Sword Attributes.
For Qin, it wasn't hard thing to do. Since he had already comprehended the Sword Attributes to twenty percent inside his mind. Now, he just needs to form the sword meridian. And, he also has the sword energy that burst out of his father's inner domain.
Although this sword energy is filled with killing intent, he can still clean it up and make it completely neutral than he can add his own sword attributes in them and condense his sword meridians. Although he will be taking out the main power of the sword energy, the exterior still remains.
And, the exterior can provide him a lot of strength. It might be not as good as the sword energy with the main power source but it can still provide a lot of strength. So, he didn't use his own sword energy rather started gathering his father's sword energy at the center of his chest.
This sword energy was dark red. After it reached his chest, he started removing the killing intent. The best way to remove the killing intent would be by suppressing it and then erasing it. But, there is a slight problem.
His father's killing intent is so fucking strong that he can't erase it or even suppress it. Thankfully, there was a way to remove it. And, it is only possible because of his bloodline. This new bloodline of his has immense storage of killing intent.
And, he hasn't used his bloodline or even learned about it. So, this was going to be his first time. After gathering sword energy at his chest, Qin activates his Primordial Darkness Bloodline. And, the next moment, his skin started turning red once again.
At the same time, he activates the Nine Devil Transformation without transforming. He only activated the cultivation technique. Slowly, his skin returned back to normal but the energy coming out of his blood traveled inside his veins and flow throughout his body.
While this energy flowed throughout his body, it passes through his chest. And, at that exact moment, he uses his energy to suck the killing intent from his sword energy. Although he couldn't erase it, he could still separate them.
It's just he must maintain this separation with his willpower. That's the only way to keep it going. After an hour, his killing intent was completely transferred to the bloodline. After that, he immediately stops his bloodline and activates his Supreme Way of Sword.
Sword Cultivation Starts!
