Entering the Sword Tomb.
Sensing the presence of “living beings,” the eerie green mist within the Sword Tomb immediately began to change.
It started to twist and turn, morphing into various shapes, swirling around the two young girls, reluctant to leave.
However, it seemed that because both girls were cultivators with their own cultivation, these resentful spirits, which couldn’t even maintain a specific form, dared not approach rashly.
“Be careful. Though these wandering resentful spirits can’t harm us, if they manage to attach themselves to a physical object…”
Whoosh!
Before Su Ling could finish her sentence, a broken spirit sword suddenly launched a sneak attack on Tang Xin, moving so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.
The broken sword, wrapped in a layer of eerie green mist, looked not only ferocious but also capable of inflicting other types of damage.
The sword cultivator girl internally cursed, wanting to block with her sword but was unable to react in time.
Snap.
Tang Xin casually waved her hand, knocking the broken sword to the ground.
“Not bad,” she commented. “It didn’t do much harm.”
This Sword Tomb might look terrifying, but after the purification by the spiritual energy of Jingxin Peak and the handling by Elder Linghua, the danger level had significantly decreased. For a cultivator of Tang Xin’s realm, it posed no great threat.
That being said, she was one of the outstanding disciples of the Xuanling Sect. For ordinary disciples, these attacks were still somewhat dangerous.
“Let’s go, keep moving.”
Tang Xin said.
Su Ling glanced at her and silently led the way.
Very strong.
Even though she wasn’t particularly fond of this woman, she had to admit, Tang Xin’s strength was far beyond her current level.
This wasn’t just a matter of the difference in their realms. Her combat experience and awareness were also exceptional. In the battles between cultivators, these qualities, beyond mere cultivation, often determined the outcome of a fight.
How did she manage that?
Everyone knows that as the chief disciple, Tang Xin is very busy.
She has to patrol the sect, discipline the disciples, report to the elders, complete the tasks assigned by the sect, and deal with problems, such as provocations from the Six Flames Mountain. She is the first person the sect thinks of to solve these issues.
With such a busy schedule, where does she find the time to cultivate? How much perseverance does it take to manage that?
“Watch out on the left.”
Tang Xin’s reminder interrupted the girl’s thoughts.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several broken swords flew towards them, much more powerful than before.
Before Su Ling could react, fireball spells and water jet spells were cast almost in the next moment, blocking them in front of the two, knocking these dangerous objects out of the air.
Clean and efficient.
Su Ling couldn’t help but ask.
“How do you keep going?”
“Huh?”
Tang Xin didn’t quite understand what she meant.
“Having to complete daily tasks and cultivate, don’t you feel tired? Most people wouldn’t be able to keep up, right?”
She said.
“It’s okay, I don’t think it’s tiring…”
Bullying junior brothers and sisters, wandering around the sect more, using the rewards issued by the system to improve cultivation, apart from the main storyline making me a bit tired, everything else feels okay.
However, this sounded different to Su Ling’s ears.
Not finding it tiring at all, is she made of iron?
With such perseverance, if one chooses to be a good person, isn’t the future boundless?
“I don’t know what you’ve been through in the past,” she patted Tang Xin on the shoulder, her voice earnest, “but please don’t lose hope in life, in others, or in this world.”
“?”
The weakened Sword Tomb posed no trouble for Tang Xin, leaving only the annoying wails of ghosts in his ears.
As the two of them moved forward, they soon came upon a somewhat dilapidated pool.
The entire pool was made from a large piece of bluestone, with intermittent patterns remaining on its edges. At intervals, recesses were carved out for inserting spirit swords.
The Sword Washing Pool could utilize spiritual energy and other forces to diminish the resentment on the spirit swords, purifying them.
The spirit swords that needed to be placed in the Sword Washing Pool were usually not ordinary.
“Let me… out…”
Above the sword pool, a pale green mist condensed into the shape of half a person, emitting a voice that sounded like a woman’s.
“I died so miserably…”
This voice, coupled with the clawing motions, instantly made Su Ling’s scalp tingle.
“Some spirit swords belong to evil cultivators or demon cultivators, slain by my master, hence the resentment on the swords is particularly heavy.”
“Return my body to me…”
The resentful spirit dove down, lunging straight at Su Ling.
“Qingxuan Sword Technique!”
The sword cultivator girl didn’t just sit there waiting for death; she lifted her spirit sword, which was then enveloped in a layer of cyan light, and swung it.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Wherever the sword light went, it fiercely collided with the resentful spirit.
The sword technique Su Ling practiced was from a righteous sect, focusing on maintaining a pure heart and being fierce and vigorous, which was precisely the nemesis of evil spirits like the resentful spirit.
Bang!
Two forces collided fiercely, causing the surrounding broken swords to emit a whining sound incessantly.
After several rounds, Su Ling and this resentful spirit were evenly matched, fighting fiercely.
“Take a break, let me handle this.”
Tang Xin rubbed her wrists and said.
She didn’t make a move together because she wanted to see Su Ling’s true strength.
And to evaluate, it could only be described in two words: outrageous!
How many days had it been? Her strength had skyrocketed to this extent! The protagonist’s fate is truly not to be provoked!
Seeing a being with an even stronger “living breath” stepping forward, the resentful spirit charged again, opening its mouth wide, wanting to swallow her whole.
Spiritual Eye Technique!
Tang Xin’s eyes emitted a star-like radiance, looking at the “spiritual body” in front of her, scanning its entire body.
The weak spot is in the head, right?
Take my punch!
Even when dealing with a resentful spirit, a punch to the face could still achieve a two hundred percent critical hit.
Boom!
The resentful spirit turned back into mist.
The resentful spirit, which had been entangled with Su Ling for a long time, was blown away by Tang Xin’s punch, dissipating into nothingness…
Su Ling, standing behind, swallowed hard.
Outrageous! In just a few days, she seemed even stronger than when she confronted the direct disciples of the Six Flames Mountain!
“Is the problem solved?”
Tang Xin looked around and noticed that the resentful spirits had not dissipated or gone into hiding. The Sword Tomb was still fraught with danger.
“To purify the essence with true qi, that’s the source. I guess the essence is in the Sword Washing Pool…”
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the broken sword engraved with the character “氵” suddenly soared into the sky, emitting a strange red light.
Then, it swiftly circled around Tang Xin and headed towards the sword cultivator girl behind him.
Next, it accurately landed in her hands.
“I’ve finally possessed a human body!”
In the next moment, Su Ling’s entire demeanor changed drastically, her eyes emitted a red glow, and she licked her lips, revealing an evil smile that shouldn’t belong to her.
The broken sword seemed to be drawing energy from the girl, and quickly, by some unknown means, temporarily condensed the missing half of its blade.
“氵㸒”
It was only then that its true name was revealed to the world again.
“Wait, your name wouldn’t happen to be…”
Tang Xin said with a deadpan expression.
“That’s right, I am the infamous Lustful Sword Immortal! Hehe, I’m going to make you my plaything now! I will take you to the pinnacle of pleasure! Hahaha!”
“Damn…”
