Spirit Artifacts that remain unsealed were, at most, magical artifacts with special effects. They might have some uses, but their power was ultimately reduced by quite a bit.
This was especially true for someone like Jiang Lin, who was a Sword Cultivator—and a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator at that. A Sword Cultivator and their Natal Flying Sword were one and the same. An unsealed Natal Flying Sword was like running with only one leg. A Natal Flying Sword was mostly just a prop and a conduit for Spiritual Power.
In other words, this Jiang Lin had relied solely on his own strength without drawing on the special traits of his Flying Sword! He had hopped along on one leg and completely crushed his own White Maiden Sword Array?!
Damn it!
Was this beast really in the Nascent Soul Realm?
Why was he so handsome and so strong at the same time?! Had this guy kidnapped the Great Dao while he was still in the womb? Or was he the Great Dao's own son?
As for what the others were thinking, Jiang Lin naturally had no idea, nor did he care.
The reason Jiang Lin had not unsealed First Snow earlier was that he felt it unnecessary. This Sword Array gave him an oddly familiar feeling. Besides, Jiang Lin was certain that if he broke through the array with all his strength, these young women would suffer far more than light injuries.
But now—
Although challenging Senior Sword Spirit to a sword match had been somewhat abrupt, Jiang Lin had a feeling that if he did not use his full strength, he really would die.
Of course, it was not as if he had never died before.
But this time was different! This time, Jiang Lin did not want to cheat.
