The old man began to laugh tremulously, his face contorted with savagery.
"Heart Demon, you and I have been entangled for years,
constantly merging the memories of this old fellow, the so-called number one blade in the world.
You tried to have him boast to everyone that he was the number one blade in the world!
Your aim was to attract attention, so they would kill him, and in doing so, destroy me, allowing you to escape.
Unfortunately, you didn't succeed!
*Luckily, I exist because of my fear of death, a crucial part of our union.*
*Even though this old man was given memories of being the number one blade by you, he was also extremely cowardly, fearing death.*
That's how he managed to survive until today!"
The old man's laughter grew more sinister and gloomy.
"Heart Demon, you shouldn't have harmed me!
After all, it is through me that you escaped the Evil World.
Now that I've lived past Xu Ye's death, from today on, I shall be the number one blade in the world!
