Chapter 1754: Threatening The Sword Spirit
Just as Huang Hao wanted to speak, Ling Yun stopped her and floated in front of the sword spirit directly. "So, you are the spirit of this ancient sword, Jian Ling, right?"
Jian Ling’s nose wrinkled as he gave Ling Yun a deathly stare, but he was quite surprised because he was not affected by his murderous intent. "Who are you, brat?"
"I am a nobody." Jian Ling didn’t believe Ling Yun because his aura was really unusual, but the next second, his eyes widened in horror, seeing the silhouette of the giant black dragon behind him. "I think you should know my identity by now."
"You... you are the heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon." Jian Ling’s voice trembled, a mixture of fear and excitement.
Ling Yun took out his broadsword, causing Jian Ling’s heart to stop beating for a few seconds. "Your sword is indeed extraordinary, but my broadsword simply surpasses it in many aspects. I don’t want to waste my time with you, so I’ll give you two choices. First, you must submit to me and follow me. Second, I will destroy this sword, and you will die along with it because you are the sword’s spirit."
Jian Ling’s face drained of color, leaving him pale; even his previous arrogance diminished significantly. He was not afraid of Huang Hao or Huang Lingzhu, but he was truly frightened of the Primordial Chaos Dragon. As a sword spirit, he could see that Ling Yun’s broadsword was not an ordinary weapon, and it far surpassed his sword.
Dongfang Qinzhi, Bai Xuanyue, and Liao Shuzhen were stunned after hearing Ling Yun’s words. They could hear the arrogance, authoritativeness, and dominance in his voice, which he had never shown before.
Huang Lingzhu, on the other hand, smiled faintly. She felt that Ling Yun’s arrogance was getting closer to Long Hun’s.
Huang Hao stood silently, and her gaze never left Ling Yun’s figure. His words just now reminded her of Long Hun, and she felt that he was becoming more similar to her master. ’He is indeed the most worthy of being my master’s sole heir.’
Ling Yun looked at Jian Ling and spoke again. "Don’t waste my time and make your choice now."
"I admit that I fear you because you are the sole heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon." Jian Ling paused and stared into Ling Yun’s bloody red eyes. "However, you are not the Primordial Chaos Dragon, and you don’t have the ability to destroy my sword. You are only bluffing because you know you can’t destroy my sword, so I won’t choose the choice you gave me."
"Is that so?" Ling Yun channeled his chaotic qi into his broadsword before slashing it towards the sword.
*Clang*
"Gah!" Jian Ling screamed in pain. "What are you doing?"
Jian Ling was completely shocked because Ling Yun’s attack on the sword also affected him, and his soul experienced extreme pain, even though he only used a normal slash.
"Heh!" Ling Yun snorted. "Do you think you can resist my chaotic qi? You may be able to resist attacks using other qi, but my chaotic qi is far above ordinary qi because chaos is the essence of everything. I only used a normal attack just now, and you already experienced extreme pain. What do you think will happen if I use all my strength to attack the sword? Are you sure the sword can withstand my attack?"
Jian Ling felt a chill down his spine, and he was terrified that Ling Yun would destroy the sword, which would end with his demise.
*Clang*
"Argh!" Once again, Jian Ling screamed in pain, and the pain was much more painful than the previous attack.
*Clang*
"Argh!"
*Clang*
"Argh! Stop..."
*Clang*
"Don’t—Argh!"
Ling Yun didn’t listen to Jian Ling’s pleas, and he kept slashing his broadsword at the ancient sword with increasing force with each slash.
"Argh!"
If only Huang Lingzhu had not sealed the ancient sword, Jian Ling could have fought Ling Yun back. After all, he and the sword were one entity, and her seal also sealed his power.
Dongfang Qinzhi, Bai Xuanyue, and Liao Shuzhen turned their faces to the side, sealing their sense of hearing. They had lived with Ling Yun for over a year in his residence, and they had seen a lot about him, but they had never seen his cruel side. All this time, he never showed his cruel side because he was not involved in the fight, and he was usually relaxed and attentive.
"Argh!"
On the contrary, Huang Lingzhu nodded several times in satisfaction with Ling Yun’s method of handling Jian Ling, and she was confident that the sword spirit would submit to him soon.
Huang Hao’s expression didn’t show any change, but her feelings did shift slightly, and she began to think about some things about the future.
Long Hun suddenly emerged from Ling Yun’s body, and his presence made the already frightened Jian Ling even more terrified. "Argh! Please... stop it! I... I choose the first one!"
"Are you sure?"
Jian Ling’s face had already turned pale, and he nodded repeatedly in response to Ling Yun. "I... I’m sure! I choose the first option!"
"You should have been chosen in the first place."
*Clang*
"I—Argh!" Jian Ling screamed in pain again. "Why... why are you still attacking the sword? I... I have already chosen, right?"
Ling Yun shrugged. "I just don’t like you because you’ve wasted my time."
Jian Ling’s lips twitched, as Ling Yun was truly shameless. He wanted to attack him, but Huang Lingzhu’s seal prevented him from doing so.
"Since you’ve made your choice, I’ll take you out of here." Ling Yun paused, thinking about some things. He floated down to the blade of the sword, touched it, and used the Chaos Destruction Rune on it. "If you dare to think anything bad or betray me, I will detonate this rune, and both of you will be gone forever."
Jian Ling shivered in fear after hearing Ling Yun’s threat. He didn’t know the power of the Chaos Destruction Rune, but he definitely didn’t dare to underestimate the power of the Primordial Chaos Dragon.
Long Hun spoke. "Kid, drip your blood into this sword, and you will become its new master."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun turned to him. "Is that possible? Jian Xieshen’s soul is still in my soul space, remember?"
Huang Lingzhu floated to their side and explained, "Ling Yun, you forget that the madman has already died once, so his bond with this sword has long since disappeared. Although this sword spirit can sense his return, they no longer have a bond, so you can become the sword’s next master. By the way, you should have already sensed the sword’s murderous intent, so you must be careful in using it; otherwise, the murderous intent will affect you."
Jian Ling glared fiercely at Huang Lingzhu, and he really wanted to bite her to death. ’This old bitch!’
"We don’t need to worry about that, right?" Huang Hao spoke, floating to their side. "This sword’s murderous intent is indeed powerful, but I’m sure it won’t affect him. Besides, he doesn’t have a demon seed like Jian Xieshen, so your worries are superfluous."
"Whether my worries are superfluous or not, there’s no harm in Ling Yun being on guard, right?"
"Alright, you two don’t need to argue about that." Long Hun patted Ling Yun’s back. "Do it now, kid. This sword will be yours after that, and you will have two ancient weapons after this."
"Two... two ancient weapons?" Ling Yun took out the Ancient Divine Execution Spear and showed it to Jian Ling, who immediately recognized it. "How... how did you get this spear?"
"Someone gave it to me for free." Ling Yun shrugged, kept the spear, and bit his middle finger. He dripped his blood onto the ancient sword, causing it to glow dark red. A few minutes later, he became the sword’s new owner. "Release the seal."
Huang Lingzhu said nothing and made a few gestures with both hands. Soon, all the golden chains binding the sword disappeared, and the sword instantly shrank to the size of a normal sword.
As soon as Ling Yun grasped the hilt of the sword, its murderous intent quickly invaded his body. His bloody red eyes emitted a terrifying light, but he swiftly suppressed the murderous intent before exhaling in relief.
Jian Ling fell dumbstruck after witnessing that. He didn’t expect that Ling Yun could so easily suppress the murderous intent that had been accumulated since the Ancient Era.
Ling Yun swung the sword several times, and he tried using some of his techniques. However, he was slightly disappointed because the power of his techniques was much weaker than when he used them with the Chaos Dragon Broadsword. "I feel that this sword is useless."
"Hahaha!" Long Hun laughed out loud as he patted Ling Yun’s shoulders repeatedly. "How can you compare this sword with my chaos dragon broadsword? Although this sword is an ancient artifact, my broadsword is a primordial artifact, so the two cannot be compared!"
Jian Ling was furious, but he couldn’t deny that the sword was no match for the Chaos Dragon Broadsword.
Ling Yun nodded slightly. "So far, only I, Ye Jing, Zhang Xingcai, and Jin Nanyi possess ancient artifacts. Hmm? The Ancient Divine Execution Spear is still bound to Xie Zuzhou, so I can’t give it to anyone else, at least for now. By the way, are there still many ancient artifacts out there?"
"Are you thinking about looking for those ancient artifacts for all your wives, kid?"
"Yes," Ling Yun himself had been thinking about this for quite some time, but he didn’t know where to start. "Since they’ve decided to follow me into the abyss, I have to prepare the best for them, or they’ll die at the hands of those ancient cultivators."
Long Hun turned to Huang Lingzhu, who immediately spoke. "Actually, there are still dozens of ancient artifacts out there, but their locations are unknown, so it will take you a long time to find them."
