Chapter 2471: Chapter 2474: Absorption
Plop!
Under the tense gaze of Yan Hu and the others, Jiang Chen slowly lifted his foot and stepped into the region filled with destructive aura.
Buzz!
An imposing sword intent instantly appeared in front of Jiang Chen, and before he could react, it directly entered his body.
Jiang Chen’s entire body trembled, his hair visibly turning white from the roots, and his skin rapidly dehydrating as wrinkles appeared on his face, with his life force quickly draining away.
"Brother Jiang, get out quickly!"
Yun Hai’s expression changed dramatically as he urgently shouted.
"Young Master!"
Yan Hu’s eyes showed a hint of terror, and he moved to pull Jiang Chen out.
"Hu Zi, stop! I’m fine!"
An aged low voice came from Jiang Chen’s mouth. At this moment, Jiang Chen’s figure was already hunched, exuding a twilight aura.
Yan Hu stopped abruptly a mile away, nervously watching Jiang Chen.
At this time, a fierce battle was raging within Jiang Chen’s sea of consciousness.
A wisp of sword intent filled with destructive aura hovered over Jiang Chen’s Divine Infant, absorbing his life force. The bloody radiance shone brilliantly, fiercely defending Jiang Chen’s life force, engaged in a fierce tug-of-war between the two.
Jiang Chen’s Divine Infant also appeared wrinkled and aged, like it was nearing the end of life, just like his physical body.
The Divine Infant opened its somewhat misty eyes, staring intently at the hovering Saint Dragon Sword beside it. Since that sword intent entered the sea of consciousness, Jiang Chen’s connection with the Saint Dragon Sword was severed, as if the Saint Dragon Sword had slipped out of control.
As time passed, the bloody radiance gradually weakened while the sword intent filled with destructive aura continued to draw Jiang Chen’s life force. Jiang Chen’s Divine Infant slowly shrank, becoming more and more illusory.
At this moment, the aura of death emanating from Jiang Chen’s body was even stronger. If it weren’t for the faint breathing, one might mistakenly believe it was a corpse.
It’s over! I never thought I would die at the hands of the Saint Dragon Sword!
Feeling the rapidly draining life force within him, Jiang Chen sensed the arrival of death, a bitter feeling welling up within him, and a wry smile appearing on the now illusory face of the Divine Infant.
Is it really true that success and failure both belong to the Divine Dragon?
Jiang Chen’s Divine Infant slowly closed its eyes and began to disintegrate.
Ao!
Just as the Divine Infant was about to dissipate, a dragon’s roar emanated from the depths of the sea of consciousness, and an ancient aura filled Jiang Chen’s sea of consciousness.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The Divine Dragon Sword suddenly trembled, and a vast aura emerged from the Saint Dragon Sword.
Swipe!
A bright profound light shot out from the Saint Dragon Sword, fiercely piercing into the bloody liquid, directly penetrating into the Breeze Sweeping Knife within, striking hard upon the golden stream suppressed by the bloody radiance.
"Ah! Damn it! Who are you? I will never let you off!"
A scream echoed, and an angry voice sounded from within the golden stream before it slowly dissipated.
Buzz!
The sword intent filled with destructive aura suddenly quivered, halting the absorption of Jiang Chen’s life force and slowly flying next to the Saint Dragon Sword.
Hual!
The Saint Dragon Sword once again burst out with a profound light, striking the sword intent.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The sword intent trembled, merging into the Saint Dragon Sword instantly, and immediately, life force gushed out from the Divine Sword, merging into Jiang Chen’s Divine Infant and physical body.
The Divine Infant visibly solidified, and in an instant, returned to its original form. Jiang Chen’s body too was once again filled with vitality, his hair turning back to its black color, and his posture regained its firm stature.
"This..."
"Blocked it?!"
Yun Hai and Yan Li looked at Jiang Chen, whose hair had reverted to normal and whose stance had become upright again, a trace of astonishment in their eyes.
Phew!
Yan Hu let out a long breath, a hint of relaxation appearing in his eyes.
Yan Li squinted slightly, giving Jiang Chen a deep look, then conveyed to Yun Hai: "Yun Hai, this Mr Jiang is definitely not just the Son of Heavenly Dao. You must maintain a good relationship with him. Perhaps in the future, he could become the opportunity for Elder Yun to return to the family!"
Yun Hai’s heart trembled severely, shock evident in his eyes.
Giving Yan Li a glance, and then looking at Jiang Chen who had withstood the sword intent, Yun Hai took a deep breath, nodding heavily, a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Swipe swipe swipe!
Suddenly, countless sword intents filled with destructive aura appeared within a mile of the valley entrance, filling the midair space, causing the entire space to tremble violently!
The faces of Yun Hai and the others changed, and they took a step back in astonishment, clearly sensing that if those sword intents targeted them, they would probably perish immediately!
Buzz!
Innumerable sword intents simultaneously emitted a sword chant as the space shook violently, rapidly converging into a dull longsword.
The moment the longsword formed, the surrounding space immediately collapsed, and spatial cracks filled the sky.
"What is this?!"
"What’s happening?! That sword shadow... so strong!"
Yun Hai and the others exclaimed out loud, dumbfounded as they looked at the longsword in the air, horrified, and subconsciously retreating a few more steps.
Yet, Yan Hu didn’t retreat a single step, staring directly at the sword shadow in the air, a hint of surprise and delight emerging in his eyes. The shape of the longsword in the air was familiar to him; the sword hilt was dragon-headed, the blade was dragon-bodied, it was precisely the form of the Saint Dragon Sword!
Seeing this scene, Yan Hu completely set his mind at ease.
Swipe!
The longsword cut through the air, transforming into a dim stream of light, piercing into Jiang Chen’s forehead in a flash.
"Brother Jiang!"
"Mr Jiang!"
Yun Hai and Yan Li’s faces changed drastically, exclaiming out loud.
"The Young Master is fine!"
Yan Hu softly comforted them, his gaze fixed on Jiang Chen.
Yun Hai and Yan Li were slightly taken aback, giving Yan Hu a curious look. Noticing that instead of worry, Yan Hu’s face bore a look of joy, the two exchanged a glance, a deep confusion in their eyes.
At that moment, Jiang Chen slowly turned around, a trace of joy in his eyes.
In his sea of consciousness, the Saint Dragon Sword emitted a profound Great Dao Aura, which was even more substantial than the aura emitted by the Breeze Sweeping Knife.
With the help of the Saint Dragon Sword, the Primordial Spirit Imprint of Lei Yan in the Breeze Sweeping Knife had been completely erased. Now, it floated in a corner of Jiang Chen’s sea of consciousness, trembling slightly, seemingly quite afraid of the aura emitted by the Saint Dragon Sword.
Having absorbed that sword shadow, the Saint Dragon Sword directly evolved to the Dao Instrument level!
I knew it, the Saint Dragon Sword is Lord Ancestral Dragon’s weapon, how could it merely be a Spiritual Treasure Level Divine Weapon!
Jiang Chen muttered to himself, raising his head to look at Yun Hai.
