"He’s deliberately stalling for ti."
Next to him, the Sword Spirit quickly reminded, "Take advantage of this mont, we must kill him quickly, lest we delay and the victory turns."
The True Dragon War Venerable glanced coldly at the Sword Spirit before speaking in a deep voice, "Damn bastard, what does this have to do with you?"
But the Sword Spirit completely ignored his words, keeping his eyes fixed on Wang Zhan.
Wang Zhan hesitated not a bit, swiftly raising the Great Void Divine Sword in his hand, and imdiately slashed fiercely towards the True Dragon War Venerable!
In an instant, the True Dragon War Venerable roared in anger.
Yet it had no effect whatsoever.
In the blink of an eye, the man had already fallen into a bloody puddle.
Wang Zhan walked up to him, and as he slowly raised his hand, he saw the Crystal Core within the True Dragon War Venerable’s body now in Wang Zhan’s hands. Wang Zhan smiled contentedly and, after glancing back at the Sword Spirit behind him, asked, "What should I do next?"
"You don’t need to do anything, leave everything to ."
Only then did the Sword Spirit gently touch the Crystal Core, and in the blink of an eye, the surface of the Crystal Core rapidly lost its gloss, while mysterious black mist continuously entered the Sword Spirit’s body.
anwhile, Wang Zhan was surprised to find that the Great Void Divine Sword seed to beco even more dazzling...
The Sword Spirit then sat cross-legged, resembling Wang Zhan in his previous monts of breakthrough.
After glancing at Wang Zhan, the Sword Spirit imdiately said, "Master, if you have urgent matters, you may leave first, I will stay here. After all, there are no more enemies in Captive Dragon Abyss, and I don’t sense any threat here. Once I absorb all the power within the Crystal Core, I’ll co to find you."
Wang Zhan shook his head and said, "I might as well stay here to guard you. After all, having you by my side ans having a source of knowledge, I don’t have to worry about anything. This feeling is rather nice."
The Sword Spirit just smiled but said nothing.
In no ti, the Sword Spirit had already closed his eyes.
Only to see the Great Void Divine Sword swiftly spiraling above the Sword Spirit’s head. As the Sword Spirit continuously absorbed the energy within the Crystal Core, the Great Void Divine Sword was undergoing certain changes...
Wang Zhan did not waste ti and similarly sat down on the ground, beginning to focus on his cultivation.
...
Ti passed by slowly, and after an unknown duration, the Sword Spirit slowly opened his eyes, appearing more spirited.
She glanced at Wang Zhan beside her, a slight smile on her lips, "Clearly you’re already much more excellent than those of your age, yet you work so hard, those guys far weaker than you still fail to realize this, truly ridiculous..."
"Perhaps it’s because they’re lucky."
Suddenly, Wang Zhan, who had his eyes closed, slowly stood up and said with a smile, "I bear too many responsibilities, so even wanting a peaceful life is nearly impossible. I envy those ordinary people more, they don’t have to be confined by cultivation every day, they must live much happier lives than I."
The Sword Spirit was stunned, then shook her head and laughed, "You can’t say it like that. Everyone has their own pursuits and dreams, and your current cultivation is sothing many envy. If you wanted to stop, I think you couldn’t get past yourself."
Hearing this, Wang Zhan smiled and said nothing.
All the pressure is self-imposed, not related to others.
It’s nothing to bla anyone for.
Wang Zhan glanced at the Great Void Divine Sword behind him, then smiled and said, "It seems like you’ve completed it?"
"Indeed, I can feel the Great Void Divine Sword seems to be gradually getting stronger, I really wonder what it’ll be like when we face strong enemies again?"
The Sword Spirit shook her head and laughed, "Actually, there’s not as much change as you think. To enhance the strength of the Great Void Divine Sword, you must achieve one thing — you must be in tune with the sword. Although you’ve already achieved a certain level of understanding with it, that’s because of my presence. Without acting as a bridge between you, you probably couldn’t exert much power from the sword."
This, Wang Zhan naturally believed.
After all, with the ergence of the Sword Spirit, he could sense the Great Void Divine Sword constantly strengthening.
Unfortunately, he does not know the nuances within.
But having a weapon with spirit is naturally a good thing for himself.
Wang Zhan did not think further, then said, "Now that our matters are resolved, let’s head out and join them. Who knows how long we’ve stayed here, I bet Xiang Tian and the others are surely already impatient."
The Sword Spirit laughed, "Xiang Tian certainly needs so tempering, or else there will surely be big trouble in the future."
After ntioning this matter, Wang Zhan’s expression slightly changed.
After hesitating for a while, he finally sighed and frowned, saying: "Xiang Tian was not like this initially. I’m not sure when he started changing, but I hardly recognize him now. His personality has beco much more irritable, which is indeed quite perplexing..."
"It is probably because of the White Tiger Venerable, right?"
Sword Spirit laughed and said, "Initially, after absorbing so of the White Tiger Venerable’s cultivation, the hostility within him increased significantly. This is entirely understandable, as the White Tiger Venerable was also a powerful figure from a thousand years ago. Although now he’s rely a remnant soul, surely you have noticed his power."
"And White Tiger Venerable, having road the world for a millennium, inevitably carries so negative factors. Coupled with Xiang Tian’s lack of strength, naturally he’s affected to so extent."
"Eventually, there will be a way to cleanse Xiang Tian of this hostility, so you don’t need to worry about it."
Wang Zhan shrugged helplessly. Even if he wanted to help, he couldn’t do anything, could he?
In the blink of an eye, the two had already walked out of Captive Dragon Abyss.
However, when they returned to the place where they had separated just now, Wang Zhan was suddenly stunned. He instinctively looked at Sword Spirit behind him and quickly asked, "Didn’t we separate here from them just now?"
"Yes..."
Sword Spirit nodded and frowned, saying: "Could it be because we were gone for too long, so they left first?"
"Impossible."
Wang Zhan spoke firmly. He knew the personalities of Xiang Tian and his companion. Previously, when he entered Captive Dragon Abyss, especially with the powerful True Dragon War Venerable present, Xiang Tian and his companion would never leave easily. Now that they haven’t been spotted, there’s only one possibility...
"I suppose they have run into so trouble."
While speaking, Wang Zhan looked at Sword Spirit again and promptly asked, "You had contact with them earlier, do you know if you can sense their presence?"
Sword Spirit slightly frowned, "Normally, this wouldn’t be a difficult task. But I’ve just absorbed all the energy from the Crystal Core, and my strength is not stable. It is really difficult to determine their whereabouts in a short period."
"Then, we’ll search around the vicinity."
Wang Zhan’s face was rather grim. After glancing toward North City, he said: "Let’s check North City first."
Although North Netherworld Domain is vast, there aren’t many cities around, which is actually beneficial for them.
At least they have one target and do not need to search through North Netherworld Domain like finding a needle.
Wang Zhan and his companion moved swiftly, taking only a few hours to return to North City.
However, North City has already beco ruins, even the City Gate has collapsed.
Wang Zhan’s expression changed, quickly he stepped into the city. Noticing a few residents attempting to escape, he rushed in front of them, blocking their paths. He then asked, "What happened in North City?"
"It’s you..."
Their expressions beca far more unsightly, subconsciously retreating a few steps.
"If you hadn’t killed our City Lord, how could we be invaded by demonic beasts?"
"It’s all because of this damned bastard. Everyone, don’t pay attention to him!"
"Let’s go!"
Speaking thus, they prepared to leave.
Wang Zhan squeezed his fist slightly, only to see a wall of flas instantly blocking their path. He then spoke solemnly, "Since I was able to kill your City Lord, isn’t killing you even easier?"
"Tell now, what exactly happened? Otherwise, I will turn all of you into corpses."
Though tough in attitude, the group couldn’t withstand Wang Zhan’s intimidation.
In an instant, they all kneeled to the ground.
The one at the front trembled as he spoke: "Not sure where the demonic beasts received the news. After hearing the City Lord is not present, they launched an attack on all four cities. It’s said the other three cities didn’t fare much better, and now, the entire North Netherworld Domain has already fallen into demonic beasts’ hands. Hence, we are preparing to withdraw from North Netherworld Domain to find a place where we can settle down."
Wang Zhan nodded, then slowly asked: "Have any of you seen the two friends who were previously by my side?"
"A young man and woman, neither very old."
The group exchanged glances, then one scratched his head and said: "If I rember correctly, I think I saw them in Xuanyi City, possibly fighting demonic beasts?"
