Chapter 2440: Chapter 2429: One Sword! Evil Receives Retribution!
When the Qingyun Sword was first obtained.
Old Bai and Old Hei speculated that the Qingyun Sword was at most a Treasure Artifact.
Now, after so many days, the sword’s blade remained rusty.
It still hadn’t revealed its true appearance.
At this moment, the rust on the Qingyun Sword began to fall off rapidly.
As more rust fell off the blade, Ye Chenfeng gradually sensed the change in the Qingyun Sword in his hand.
When the rust slowly fell off.
The blade revealed a rich azure color, with red runes etched across its surface.
The fully restored Qingyun Sword felt extremely strange, emitting a chilling cold that pierced to the bone, and others finally noticed the change in the sword in Ye Chenfeng’s hand.
A young man in white stood in the corner on the right side of the Duelling Hall, slightly narrowing his eyes, his gaze firmly fixed on the Qingyun Sword with a certain glint in his eyes.
Within the holy light.
The Ghost Venerable’s attacks grew increasingly swift.
Blood flowed more and more from Ye Chenfeng’s hand clutching the Qingyun Sword, soaking the blade continuously.
Finally, all the rust on the blade fell off.
At that instant.
Ye Chenfeng felt a blood connection with the Qingyun Sword, as if the sword had become part of his body.
The red runes on the blade were flickering.
Azure and red light simultaneously burst from the Qingyun Sword.
The azure and red gleams reflected off each other.
The original appearance of the Qingyun Sword did not yet emanate its aura when Old Hei Jiang Yuntian’s voice suddenly resonated in his mind: "Kid, I was blind back then. This Qingyun Sword is not a Treasure Artifact; it’s a genuine Immortal Artifact, and not of the lowest grade either."
As Old Hei Jiang Yuntian’s voice rang in Ye Chenfeng’s mind, the attacks from the Ghost Venerable did not cease, instead becoming more intense.
Upon hearing Old Hei’s words, Ye Chenfeng unhesitatingly infused his Spiritual Energy into the Qingyun Sword.
The moment Spiritual Energy was infused into the Qingyun Sword.
The entire Qingyun Sword acted like a bottomless pit, constantly drawing Spiritual Energy from Ye Chenfeng’s body.
As the Spiritual Energy filled the completely transformed Qingyun Sword.
"Boom!"
The azure and red light exploding from the Qingyun Sword filled the entire space within the holy light.
Endless sharpness.
Bursted forth from the Qingyun Sword, ripping the space within the holy light into strips, and even causing hair-thin cracks to appear on the holy light’s surface.
The entire shrouded holy light was continuously undulating.
The Ghost Venerable, who had been launching dense attacks on Ye Chenfeng, could only retreat explosively as the endless sharpness from the Qingyun Sword erupted.
His vision was filled with azure and red light, making everything within the holy light indistinct.
As the intense azure and red glows gradually withdrew.
The scene within the holy light was revealed.
The Unyielding Sword Intent within Ye Chenfeng’s body resumed its circulation, and all the Spiritual Energy within his body streamed into the Qingyun Sword, where a colossal, thick, and sturdy shadow of a black chain suddenly emerged.
Simultaneously, gigantic shadows of black chains also appeared behind Ye Chenfeng.
The surroundings of Ye Chenfeng became calm, with the endless sharpness radiating from the Qingyun Sword retracted back into the blade.
This scene of serenity was indeed eerie.
"Black Lock of Sword Soul!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!——"
The Qingyun Sword swung towards the Ghost Venerable.
Massive black chains coalesced out of thin air, with the Qingyun Sword now performing the Black Lock of Sword Soul.
The length and thickness of the chains increased significantly.
The black chains numbered around five to six hundred in total.
The rusted Qingyun Sword once could only manifest fifty to sixty black chains at most when unleashing the Black Lock of Sword Soul.
Now, using the derusted Qingyun Sword, the number of black chains that materialized was more than ten times greater, and their power was greatly enhanced.
These hundreds of black chains rapidly surged towards the Ghost Venerable.
Within the holy light, aside from the spot where Ye Chenfeng stood, everything was filled with the black chains.
The Ghost Venerable didn’t even have space to use his shifting technique.
He could only watch as the black chains swiftly approached, now entangling the Ghost Venerable.
Sharp spikes appeared at the tip of each black chain.
The black chains quickly pierced through the Ghost Venerable, breaching his Spiritual Energy shield almost without obstruction.
The sound of "puchi! puchi!" kept echoing.
Blood holes appeared all over the Ghost Venerable’s body, and he repeatedly used his shifting technique.
Regrettably.
Now that the holy light was filled with black chains, even if he wanted to rely on his shifting technique to get close to Ye Chenfeng, it was practically impossible.
Within a day, the shifting technique could only be used six times.
Soon, all six uses of the shifting technique were exhausted.
Without the shifting technique.
The black chains madly pierced the Ghost Venerable’s body, and screams incessantly erupted from his throat.
The Ghost Venerable’s eyes were fixed on Ye Chenfeng, intending to speak, but only screams emerged from his mouth.
Within just a few moments.
As the black chains continued to pierce the Ghost Venerable, his head was naturally penetrated as well.
Piercing repeatedly.
Directly turned the Ghost Venerable into a mist of blood in the air.
The Ghost Venerable was dead.
The holy light enveloping Ye Chenfeng vanished.
The black chains that had been penetrating the Ghost Venerable slowly disappeared as well.
Old Hei Jiang Yuntian’s voice then resonated in Ye Chenfeng’s mind: "Kid, it seems that this Qingyun Sword is at least a mid-grade Immortal Artifact, very close to high-grade."
All present stared blankly at Ye Chenfeng, not expecting this outcome at all.
Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong of the Medicine Saint Hall furrowed their brows deeply. They had previously conspired with Ye Chenfeng through secret communication, but who knew the Ghost Venerable would not kill Ye Chenfeng; instead, he was killed by Ye Chenfeng.
As they were troubled.
Suddenly.
They were simultaneously enveloped by the holy light.
Being engulfed by the holy light.
Their expressions changed drastically as they exchanged looks, knowing that only one of them could leave the holy light alive.
As the saying goes, bad people get bad karma.
Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong just silently stared at each other; who in this world likes to die? In the face of life and death, the true nature of humans is exposed. Sometimes, even the closest of kin, when facing life and death, can be incredibly selfish, let alone Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong, who had no blood relation at all, merely serving as ancestors of the Myriad Fire City Medicine Saint Hall.
