Chapter 0234 – Sudden Change at the Birthday Banquet – Absolute Return

"Happy birthday, Master!"</p>

The person who spoke was kneeling respectfully on the ground, and it was none other than the disciple of the Five Thunder God Sword – Sha Effect. He was the mysterious expert that Sword Wuji had encountered last night.</p>

In front of him, the Five Thunder Excalibur was sitting upright.</p>

The first impression given by the Five Thunder Excalibur was that he was "weird". Although he was already in his nineties, the skin on his face was as smooth and tight as a young man’s, without a single wrinkle. However, the skin on his hands was covered with old age spots, the two forming a stark contrast and looking particularly bizarre.</p>

"This is my birthday gift to you."</p>

Sha Effect pulled out a small, delicate box from his arms and offered it with both hands.</p>

"This is not an ordinary Rejuvenation Pill, but one that I deliberately collected the Yuan Yin of fifteen wonderful young girls and carefully refined."</p>

Hearing the words "Spring Recovery Pill", the Five Thunders Divine Sword’s face immediately showed joy.</p>

"How many men were used?"</p>

"Thirty."</p>

In order to refine this tiny elixir, thirty innocent lives were sacrificed! However, the Five Thunder Divine Sword’s face did not show the slightest hint of guilt, instead it was filled with greed and joy. The happier he laughed, the tighter the skin on his face became, and the weirder it looked.</p>

"You worked hard."</p>

The Yuan Yin of thirty wonderful young girls, this was a precious herb that was hard to find for thousands of dollars!</p>

"Your old man’s ninetieth birthday, it’s only natural for me, as a disciple, to honor you."</p>

The Five Thunder divine Sword nodded in satisfaction. Over the years, he had become more and more obsessed with the pursuit of immortality, and in order to curry favor with him, Sha Effect had had to go around searching for all kinds of rare medicinal herbs, and his hands were stained with blood.</p>

"Very well, I will teach you the next layer of the technique today. As a reward, I’ll make an exception and teach you three layers today!"</p>

Sha Effect was overjoyed at his words and quickly fell to his knees, kowtowing and thanking him for his kindness.</p>

"Thank you, Master!"</p>

However, a hint of a sinister color flashed in his lowered eyes.</p>

"Damn awful old man, trying to get rid of me after only three floors!"</p>

Over the years, he had been loyal to the Five Thunder divine Sword, saddling himself with it in order to be able to learn all of the Five Thunder divine Sword’s techniques.</p>

The Five Thunder Sword Technique was divided into five layers, and he had already learned the fourth layer, and as long as he learned the last layer, he would be able to cultivate this supreme sword technique to the great achievement realm. However, the Five Thunder Divine Sword was hesitant to teach him the last layer of the technique.</p>

"I’ve done so much for you, killed so many people, and you’re still defending me!"</p>

The Five Thunder divine Sword looked at him from above, a cold glint flashing in its eyes.</p>

"Do you really think I don’t know about your little mind?"</p>

He knew that Sha Effect was gifted and ruthless, once he was allowed to learn the last layer of the Five Thunder Sword Technique, he would most likely turn against himself. At that time, let alone taking the Spring Restoration Pill in peace, he was afraid that he wouldn’t even be able to sleep peacefully.</p>

"The last layer of the technique will be imparted to you when I die!"</p>

Sand Effect looked up, and both of their faces regained their usual calmness, as if nothing had happened.</p>

"I’m going to take the Rejuvenation Pill, so go out first."</p>

"Yes."</p>

After Sha Effect turned to leave, the Five Thunder Divine Sword couldn’t wait to take the Rejuvenation Pill, then closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, beginning to refine the medicinal power.</p>

Jian Wuji silently sneaked into the mansion.</p>

He first came to the compartment where the servants lived.</p>

He snuck into each person’s room and sealed their acupuncture points. By the time they woke up, it was all over.</p>

After settling the servants, Jian Wuji turned around and walked towards the main room.</p>

Just then.</p>

Whoosh!</p>

A cold, sharp sword was suddenly pressed against his neck.</p>

"Don’t move or I’ll kill you!"</p>

The person who spoke was none other than Sha Effect. He had just come out of the Five Thunder Excalibur’s room when he spotted the sneaky Jian Wuji.</p>

"Last night, it was you too, wasn’t it?" Jian Wuji said without looking back.</p>

"Yes, that’s right, exactly."</p>

"Since you dare to come to die, then give your name!"</p>

Jian Wuji slowly turned around and faced Sha Effect without the slightest bit of fear on his face.</p>

"What are you?"</p>

"You’re not qualified to know! State your name!"</p>

"Sand Effect." Jian Wuji said indifferently.</p>

Sha Effect was instantly shocked. He could not have imagined that the other party knew his name! He had always hidden it well, and other than his master, no one should know his true identity!</p>

He didn’t realize that in the secret information about the Five Thunders divine Sword that Bisayin had given him, it was clearly recorded that twenty years ago, the Five Thunders divine Sword had taken on a disciple named Sha Effect.</p>

"How do you …… you know my name?"</p>

It was at that moment when his mind was lost.</p>

Phew!</p>

A bloody light that shot from behind him.</p>

Sha Effect was worthy of being a martial arts practicing wizard with outstanding talent, he reacted extremely fast, his body slightly sidestepped and dodged the attack of the blood light, at the same time, he swung his sword and stabbed at Jian Wuji.</p>

However, the moment he turned around, Jian Wuji’s fist, had already struck his chest viciously.</p>

Bang!</p>

Sha Effect’s body, like a kite with broken strings, flew out backwards. If he hadn’t utilized his energy to protect his body in time, I’m afraid that this punch would have killed him.</p>

"Shit!"</p>

He hasn’t had time to get on his feet.</p>

Phew! Phew!</p>

Two more bloody lights, one after the other.</p>

Sha Effect knew that he could no longer dodge, and could only stiffly swing his sword to parry.</p>

A stern sword qi, breaking through the air, smashed the two blood lights.</p>

However, right at this moment, Jian Wuji’s figure suddenly appeared behind him, and the Black Demon Sword in his hand transformed into a black lightning bolt, aiming straight for his back heart.</p>

Sha Effect could not avoid it, and could only watch the black lightning, getting closer and closer to him. In the nick of time, he forcefully twisted his body, narrowly dodging the fatal blow. However, his shoulder was still cut by the Black Demon Sword with a deep blood scar.</p>

He hadn’t been injured in a long time, and it made him feel incredibly angry. However, he hadn’t had time to fight back.</p>

Phew!</p>

Another bloody light flashed past his eyes, leaving a shocking wound at his waist. If he hadn’t reacted quickly enough, I’m afraid that this strike would have opened him up.</p>

Before he could catch his breath, the attacks from Sword Wuji and the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon poured down like a raging storm. Only then did Sha Effect realize that he had been fooled!</p>

"Master! Help me!"</p>

He cried out for help in desperation. However, the Five Thunder divine Sword did not appear. He knew that the Five Thunder Divine Sword was currently refining the medicinal power of the Spring Return Pill and had no time to care about him. Even if it heard his cries for help, it would not give up refining the elixir for his sake.</p>

"Master! You bastard!"</p>

Sha Effect roared angrily, frantically waving the longsword in his hand in an attempt to fend off the attacks of Jian Wu Ji and the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon. However, the injuries on his body were getting heavier and his movements were getting slower and slower.</p>

Psst!</p>

The Black Demon Sword, stabbed through his back and pierced through his forehead.</p>

Just then, the last blood light, too, struck his brow.</p>

Sand Effect’s body, fell limply to the ground, his eyes filled with unwillingness and despair. In the last moment of his life, he saw countless frightened and desperate faces. Those were all the innocent young girls that he had brutally killed.</p>

Bang!</p>

Sword Wuji and the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon, glanced at each other, and both saw a trace of gravity in the other’s eyes.</p>

They had long since learned from Bisayin that Sha Effect had brutalized countless innocent young girls in order to refine the Rejuvenation Pill, so they didn’t have the slightest bit of pity for him. The information provided by Bisayin had helped them greatly.</p>

Just then.</p>

Boom!</p>

Both of them turned around at the same time, only to see a powerful sword qi that descended from the sky, splitting a deep gully where they were before. This sword qi, with its speed and power, was staggering.</p>

The person who struck out was none other than the Five Thunder Divine Sword.</p>

Although he was refining the pill in seclusion, he heard the commotion outside. Only, he was worried that the distraction would affect the potency of the medicine, so he ignored it.</p>

"Fucking asshole!"</p>

He had never expected that his disciple, who he had cultivated with great care, would be killed! Moreover, he was still killed under his own eyes! This caused him to burn with rage, and he couldn’t wait to break the murderer into pieces!</p>

What made him even angrier was that because he was distracted from dealing with Jian Wuji and the Extremely Evil Laughing Demon, it resulted in him not being able to fully refine the medicinal power of the Rejuvenation Pill, wasting a large amount of medicinal effects for nothing. To him, there was nothing that caused him more heartache than this.</p>

The relationship between Yelu Han and the Holy Patriarch seems to be a bit tense these days. Could it be that Yelu Han sent someone to kill me?</p>

"This damned waste, how could he not even handle this little thing!"</p>
