Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 480 - 476: The Sword Spirit’s Arch-Enemy, Evil Sword Spirit

However, Xia Feng knew that although the Sword Spirit’s voice sounded immature and its temperament was somewhat childlike, having survived for a million years, it wouldn’t cause any fuss over important matters.

Xia Feng looked down at it, frowned, and asked softly, "Did you discover something?"

The Sword Spirit shuddered slightly, quickly explaining, "I heard that figure say earlier that the Evil Sword Spirit hasn’t reacted yet."

"Now seeing its entity, I recognized it; it is the sworn enemy of us Sword Spirits."

"When Sword Spirit meets Evil Sword Spirit, it’s a fight till death. It’s either I completely destroy the opponent, or the opponent devours me."

"There is no possibility of coexistence."

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, tapping his fingers lightly in the air a few times, binding those Evil Sword Spirits in place.

He then, with a bit of interest, looked at the Sword Spirit and asked, "Tell me in detail."

The Sword Spirit’s somewhat childish voice sounded again: "To speak in detail, we must talk about the difference between Sword Spirit and Evil Sword Spirit."

"Although both are Sword Spirit forms, their purposes are completely different."

"The Sword Spirit is the purest embodiment of Sword Intent, aiming to enhance the Sword Cultivator’s Sword Dao cultivation, nurturing them into a Sword God, without any evil thoughts."

"In contrast, the Evil Sword Spirit’s mission is to devour Sword Cultivators to forge a Sword Demon. Both have different purposes but need Sword Cultivators, so they are in a competitive relationship."

When talking about Evil Sword Spirit, the Sword Spirit expressed disgust in its childish voice.

Xia Feng touched his chin, curiously asked, "So if you kill these Evil Sword Spirits, will you improve?"

The Sword Spirit’s voice had a tinge of excitement: "Yes, yes, yes, I can become stronger, I can evolve, and I belong to the purest Sword Spirit. Even a normal attack can inflict more than ten times the damage to Evil Sword Spirits."

It paused for a moment, seemingly hesitant about whether to tell Xia Feng the detailed situation.

Xia Feng clicked his tongue lightly, and then the Sword Spirit quickly said, "But if you let the Heaven-Burying Sword attack the Evil Sword Spirit independently, it can quickly catalyze the birth of its own Sword Spirit."

The Sword Spirit’s voice carried a bit of awkwardness, but it still revealed the method of stimulating the Heaven-Burying Sword to nurture a Sword Spirit.

Xia Feng glanced at the Divine Sword in Li Qingxue’s hand, then at his own Heaven-Burying Sword, and suddenly flicked the sword’s body lightly.

The Heaven-Burying Sword emitted a slightly dull sword sound, seeming to respond to Xia Feng.

Xia Feng turned his head and glanced again at the Divine Sword in Li Qingxue’s hand, speaking softly: "These five are up to you. If we encounter more later, we’ll see the situation."

The Divine Sword in Li Qingxue’s hand was exceptionally joyful, its light suddenly increased by several yards, a cyan and white beam of light pierced directly out of the Divine Sword.

The five Evil Sword Spirits bound by Xia Feng were directly melted inch by inch when they encountered these cyan and white sword beams, like encountering a nemesis that restrained them.

They screamed madly before dying, emitting extraordinarily piercing shrieks, making Xia Feng’s mood slightly irritated.

The Sword Spirit promptly shouted, like a beam of light breaking through the sky, directly dispersing the irritation in everyone’s hearts.

The Sword Spirit’s childish voice sounded again, filled with excitement and a slight fatigue: "These Evil Sword Spirits are best at deceiving Sword Cultivators."

"The screams they make when dying affect the Sword Cultivators’ minds, making people agitated, unable to think normally."

Nearby, Xia Tianming and Li Qingxue both had their faces become somewhat serious.

They had heard the screams just now; if it weren’t for the Sword Spirit breaking that atmosphere, the two of them would definitely have been greatly affected.

The most important thing for a Sword Cultivator is the state of mind; if the mind is chaotic, what good Sword Technique can be used, wouldn’t they be waiting to die in vain?

Xia Feng didn’t take it to heart much, even though the screams made him a little irritable; it was just that.

To try to deceive Xia Feng, devour him, and turn him into a Sword Demon, the Evil Sword Spirit doesn’t have the capability yet.

He looked at the Sword Spirit, whose glow became more dazzling, hesitantly asked, "Do you have a name?"

The Sword Spirit was stunned, hesitating for a moment before asking doubtfully, "Sword Spirit is my name."

Xia Feng didn’t say more; at this point, there is only one Sword Spirit, so calling it Sword Spirit is fine. Later, as the Heaven-Burying Sword is likely going to give birth to a Sword Spirit too, then calling it Sword Spirit may not clarify whom he is referring to.

Li Qingxue quickly realized Xia Feng’s intent, thought for a moment, and said, "Let’s call it Xiao Xue."

"My Lifebound Divine Sword and Qingxue Sword form a set; the name given then was Snow Fall Sword, calling it Xiao Xue is just right."

The Sword Spirit seemed to want to say something in defense, but Xia Feng and Li Qingxue settled the matter with just a few words, not letting the Sword Spirit continue to struggle.

After all, the Sword Spirit doesn’t have a gender, so any name would do; if not for distinguishing from the future Heaven-Burying Sword, Xia Feng wouldn’t have thought of giving it a name.

Xiao Xue muttered a few complaints quickly, then soon adjusted its mood, speaking excitedly, "I can sense many Evil Sword Spirits over there."

"Are we going to kill Evil Sword Spirits or continue exploring along the normal route?"

Since entering Evil Sword Valley, Xia Feng and the others had been moving straight, constantly going deeper.

The surrounding environment was exceptionally dark, and Xia Feng and the others didn’t have a map of the inside, so they had no idea if the route they were taking was the correct one.

He glanced at the surroundings, still unable to see anything beyond in the distance whether it was the exit of Evil Sword Valley.

Yet thinking about the difficulty of the first challenge, he reckoned the second challenge assessment wouldn’t just be about finding the exit.

Moreover, there is an inseparable relationship between the Sword Spirit’s evolution and the Evil Sword Spirit.

Not knowing where to find such a good opportunity again after leaving, he didn’t hesitate much and asked, "Point out the direction of the Evil Sword Spirits for me."

Xiao Xue’s voice contained a hint of excitement: "Three hundred meters southeast."

Without delay, Xia Feng turned his team towards the southeast to head out, while Li Qingxue, a bit worried, inquired, "Won’t this delay the second challenge assessment?"

Xia Feng smiled: "It’s okay, Evil Sword Valley is bigger than we expected. Exploring more might give us some clues to pass the challenge."

Li Qingxue hesitated for a moment, looked around at the dark surroundings, about ten meters around until beyond which nothing more could be seen.

Xia Feng’s words made sense, Li Qingxue was just a bit concerned earlier that Xia Feng’s turning to explore the surroundings was to evolve her Sword Spirit.
