"Come on! We are not here to joke. I am telling you something important." Hearing her question, the handsome man was speechless for a moment. But she wasn't wrong either. So, he could only change the topic quickly.

Hearing him, she made a serious expression and listened carefully.

"Dao of Ruthlessness complements Dao of Sword. Although this doesn't mean you can cultivate Dao of Sword to the top level, you can gain much enlightenment about the sword. So, learning Dao of Ruthlessness would be good for you when you are going to learn Dao of Sword."

"Now, let's talk about Ruthlessness Sword Dao Technique. This technique is a complete suicidal technique since you literally have to die at the end. But the only handful of people can cultivate it with the right method." Suddenly, he lifted his finger and pressed her forehead.

At this moment, a vast amount of knowledge entered her mind. This knowledge was incredibly power, not just contained knowledge about daos and laws and a specific technique but also an incredible amount of energy.

Suddenly, her body was overflowing with energy when she heard "Use the ancient art that I've transmitted into your brain and start the cultivation."

Although she didn't know exactly what was going on she followed his commands without any hesitation. When the information flashed on her brain, she found that ancient technique.

"Ancient Phoenix Divine Nirvana Technique"

'In the ancient times, phoenixes were at the top of the world, rising from the ashes they were known for their nirvana. A phoenix that has gone through nirvana would be a hundred times better than those who haven't.'

'Form the blood of ancient phoenix, condense the heart of god, when the power of phoenix follows in your veins, even death will be beneficial for you.'

Following the instruction of the Ancient Phoenix Divine Nirvana Technique, she found the knowledge that she earned from Cosmic God Heart pales compared to this. Even Dao of Life couldn't bring death back to life.

Johnny only survived because of Soul Body. The best part of this technique was its Nirvana stage. Once you condense the blood of the ancient phoenix and condense the heart of god, and use the power of the phoenix, even if your soul is destroyed, you can come back to life.

Of course, nothing can be produced out of nothingness. There must be a source and that source is heavenly dao itself. A phoenix heart is a key to earn the permission of heaven. After all, Phoenixes and Dragons are the creation of heaven to suppress humans limit.

These beasts are heavily loved by the heavens.

When Rose started this technique, the energy suddenly burst out of her forehead and covered her body into a water-like domain. When her technique began to work, the energy got sucked inside her body from the pores that were opened.

"Blood of Ancient Phoenix- Condense"

Suddenly, her black hair rose up with her head, as she roared looking up. When the energy burst into her veins, she felt incredible pain. This pain was killing her but barely held on gritting her teeth.

'I must succeed. I must succeed for him. It doesn't matter if I became evil for him. It doesn't matter if I became ruthless for him. But if I can't succeed, then I won't be worthy to be his wife. I must succeed.'

Gritting her teeth, her determination shook her heart. Suddenly the killing intent tried to burst out again but once again got suppressed by the conqueror armament. At this moment, she realized she was holding herself back.

She was determined so why fear death? At this moment, she shouted, "Conqueror armament, release my heart!"

Hearing her words, the conqueror armament got confused. Vibrating itself, it asked again whether he was hearing right.

"Yes, you are hearing this right. I want to save him and I must save him by myself. I don't need to prove my love but I must prove my worth, as his wife, as temporary sect master of Supreme Sword Sect."

She knew now she has to take this role since Johnny was in bad condition. At this moment, her determination grew. Feeling her determination, the conqueror armament slowly retreated from her body.

"Boom"

At this moment, the slaughter intent burst out of her heart. At the same time, she shouted "Ruthless Sword Dao Technique"

It was risky, at this moment she was using the top two techniques at the same time. But she didn't hesitate to do. Because this has created a greater chance to succeed.

That slaughter intent will destroy her body while phoenix energy will repair her body, at the same time condensing phoenix blood. Although this was painful, after learning Johnny had gone through complete body remodeling, how could she shrink back because of fear?

"Ahhhhhhh"

When the slaughter intent began to destroy her cells. It didn't directly burst her body as she expected but the pain was really horrible. When her cells were destroyed, they got repaired pretty soon. This gave her time to conquer this slaughter intent.

To form slaughter energy, she must condense slaughter intent. But she can't do it now. So, her only choice was to conquer this slaughter intent. But she wasn't willing to use conqueror armament. She wanted to do it by herself.

"Monarch Will"

At this moment, an aura of a monarch released out of her body. But she didn't let it flow out and quickly turn it back to her own body. When the aura of the monarch reached her body, it instantly collided with the slaughter intent.

"Ku-ek"

The terrifying collision inside her body made her cough blood out of her mouth. At the same time, many of her inner organs were damaged. Although she was in the bad condition, the handsome man didn't help her.

Instead waited until the time would be right.

"Boom" Suddenly the Monarch Will was torn apart by the slaughter intent.

"Ku-ek"

'I......I can't succeed. Am I destined to fail?" Suddenly these questions rang on her brain. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind her, whispering in her ears.

"Why don't you give up? I love you and I never expected you to do anything for me. I want to make you live a queen, so why must your armor and fight on the battlefield."

"Rose, please give up! I promise I'll never be so na?ve. Father, he is here. You can ask him to resurrect me. There won't be a problem, rose. Please give up! I can't see you in such pain. It hurts, It hurts more than this death."

When these words rang on her ears, she felt her vision upside-down. She knows this was not Johnny nor his father. It was just his obsession. This obsession even after death could live. She shook her head, knowing it wasn't Johnny.

Suddenly, Johnny moved from her behind to the front. He was in the soul form where his legs were like a snake tail. He was more like a ghost than that of soul. Although it was his obsession, it was pretty aggressive. When she shook her head, he caught her shoulder, shaking her, shouted with tears bursting out of his eyes.

"Can't you see I am in pain? Can't you see I can't bear to see you hurt like this because of my mistakes? I promise I won't be na?ve. I promise I'll do everything for you. Please stop this! Please don't be ruthless! I love Rose. I love Rose who used to smile every time."

At this moment, Rose felt extreme pain. It wasn't because of the pain going on her body rather seeing those tears in his eyes. She felt extremely confused too. Because this Johnny was nothing like an obsession.

But she still shook her head. Wiping his tears, she spoke "And I love you, Johnny. I love Johnny who used to be na?ve. I don't want you to be ruthless. Why must you be ruthless? Why must boys prove their worth in front of boy's parents? Why can't we women do the same? Why must I let you bear all that pain while living the life of a queen?"

"I don't want to. I want to be equal to you, not your shadow. I want to share every moment with you. I don't want to stay here anywhere just waiting for you. I want to do everything I can to catch up with you."

"So, why? Why are you stopping me? Why don't you understand my pain? Why don't you understand the pain that I suffered seeing you dying in front of me? Do you know what would've happened if that sword wasn't there?"

"Johnny, you are na?ve and that is what I love about you. But that doesn't mean I don't want you to change. In fact, you must change but let me adopt it. Let me adapt to your change. If I can't even be equal to you, how do you expect me to adapt?"

"Johnny, love is not a mere trade. In love, you don't care what others think about you including your lover. You do what is best for your lover not expecting anything from him. This is my love. I love you and willing to do everything. This is my freedom and love is all about freedom."

Looking at his face with red eyes, she fondles his cheeks and said "Loving you is my freedom, and doing everything for you is my choice. So, please let me love you!"
