Divine Artifact-Qingshuang

Saint Chu stared at Yun Qingyang in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Why was he called the Saint Chu? It wasn't because his surname was Chu, but because his strength was the highest in the entire Chu Kingdom.

Since he was named the Saint Chu, not only in the Chu Kingdom, but also throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent, few people have been able to exert as much pressure on him as they do now.

But the woman before him had done it, and even deep within Saint Chu's heart, a sense of inability to defeat her arose. How could this not shock him?

'Clang~'

A crisp sound tore through space, and a bronze-colored longsword appeared before Saint Chu, trembling slightly.

The bronze-colored longsword was not particularly impressive in appearance; the blade was covered in rust, and there was even a chip at the edge, as if it had been broken by something.

However, the aura emanating from this bronze-colored longsword has an ancient and weathered feel, as if one can sense its past life from the aura it exudes.

The frozen area around them shattered instantly after the bronze longsword appeared, the snow in the sky stopped, and the Icicle Spear spikes disappeared.

Yun Qingyang looked at the bronze-colored longsword that had appeared, his face also filled with seriousness, and said in a cold voice, "A semi-divine artifact?"

'Snap~'

Saint Chu grabbed the hilt of the bronze-colored longsword, and with a 'bang', an invisible wave of light emanated from it and spread outwards.

'Whoosh~'

Wherever it passed, yellow sand covered everything and all things withered and died.

"Its name is 'Immortal.' It was originally a divine artifact, which I obtained in an ancient secret realm. Unfortunately, it seems to have been involved in a great battle with its master before that. Its spirit fell into slumber, its body was damaged, its power and quality decreased, and it became a semi-divine artifact," Saint Chu said regretfully, holding 'Immortal.'

If the spirit of this 'Immortal' weapon hadn't fallen into slumber and its body hadn't been damaged, then he could have obtained a true divine artifact! For Saint Chu, a divine artifact was no different from stepping into the Immortal Realm.

However, although the divine artifact was damaged and downgraded to a semi-divine artifact, it does not mean that its power is weak; in the Azure Dragon Continent today, apart from the nine divine artifacts, the most powerful are the semi-divine artifacts.

"You are very strong, I can only do my best." Saint Chu looked at Yun Qingyang, stretched out his hand, held his long sword horizontally, and an aura of dominance over the world emanated from Saint Chu.

'Hoo~'

In the sky, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred: a background image of an ancient battlefield appeared, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy surged wildly towards that background image. With each surge of spiritual Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, the ancient aura of the longsword in Saint Chu intensified, and the atmosphere in the air became even more oppressive.

Yun Qingyang nodded, then naturally released her hands. The spirit sword in her arms Levitate slowly, standing in front of Yun Qingyang and rotating leisurely.

The black scabbard, engraved with an ancient Frost Giant Dragon, appeared lifelike as the sword spun, as if it were a living dragon.

'Snap~'

The black hilt was suddenly pulled upwards, revealing the dark red blade.

'Boom~'

A muffled thunderclap suddenly resounded in the sky, and the flow of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy instantly ceased. Without the support of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, the strange phenomenon in the sky behind Saint Chu slowly disappeared.

Saint Chu stared solemnly at the spirit sword in front of Yun Qingyang, the 'Immortal' in his hand emitting a soft hum, as if it were afraid of something.

"Its name is Qingshuang," Yun Qingyang said calmly.

'Swish~'

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword detached from its scabbard, and the Qingshuang Sword shot straight into the sky.

'Pfft~'

A faint sound of air being torn apart rang out, and the entire sky seemed to be pierced by this sword, revealing a dark hole that began to frantically absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

'Whoosh~'

The Qingshuang Sword instantly appeared in front of Yun Qingyang. She grabbed it, tilted it at a forty-five-degree angle, looked at Saint Chu, and said coldly, "A divine weapon."

Saint Chu remained silent, staring at Yun Qingyang and the Qingshuang Sword in her hand for a full thirty seconds.

Yun Qingyang frowned, gripped the Qingshuang in his hand, and channeled his Spiritual Power into it, preparing to strike first.

'Hoo~'

At this moment, Saint Chu's powerful aura vanished instantly, and the 'Immortal' in his hand disappeared as well.

"Sorry to bother you..."

"..."

Yun Qingyang watched Saint Chu's rapidly disappearing figure, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"Qingyang, are you alright?"

Due to the needs of the plot, Ma Feifei and his group finally arrived 'late'.

Upon hearing Ma Feifei's voice, Yun Qingyang subconsciously withdrew her domain aura, and the Yun Qingyang Qingshuang Sword in her hand was sheathed with a 'whoosh' and held back in her arms.

"Was that Saint Chu just now?" Ma Feifei asked curiously as he walked over with Gongsun Qiong and Chang Kong.

In fact, they had arrived long ago, but in a battle of this level, let alone Ma Feifei and Gongsun Qiong, even Chang Kong, a cultivator who had just entered the Spirit Saint realm, couldn't participate. So they could only watch from a distance.

However, the two made a lot of noise but accomplished little; the battle ended without any direct confrontation from beginning to end. Moreover, judging from the current situation, it was clear that Yun Qingyang had won.

"I don't know. I only heard him say that he was ordered by King Chu Heng to invite you to a gathering in the capital." Yun Qingyang shook her head and said. She didn't care about anything outside, and since Saint Chu hadn't personally admitted that he was Saint Chu, given Yun Qingyang's intelligence, she really didn't know.

Although Ma Feifei asked this question, the answer was actually already given by Yun Qingyang. Yun Qingyang's strength was at the Spirit Saint Stage Eight realm. Throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent, there were no more than five people who could reach the eighth level of the Spirit Saint Stage Eight.

In the Chu Kingdom, there was only one Saint Chu.

"Does King Chu Heng want me to go to the capital?" Ma Feifei asked, puzzled.

Behind Ma Feifei, Gongsun Qiong and Chang Kong's expressions changed slightly upon hearing Ma Feifei's words.

This made Yun Qingyang glance at the two of them with curiosity. As for Ma Feifei, she didn't notice. After thinking for a while, she suddenly realized why King Chu Heng had sent Saint Chu to invite her to the capital.

The Tomb of the Hegemon!

This was the real reason why King Chu Heng invited Ma Feifei to the capital.

As more and more items from the time of King Xiang Emperor Chu the Conqueror's life were discovered in the Tomb of the Hegemon, it attracted a lot of attention. There was no reason why such a big matter would not reach the ears of King Chu Heng. Moreover, the most important thing was that the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince of the Chu Kingdom had both come to the Dubian Town. The Thirteenth Prince had even personally gone through the Tomb of the Tomb of the Hegemon and took away one of the nine eighth-tier spirit swords that Emperor Chu the Conqueror used to conquer the world, the 'Unparalleled'.

Based solely on that "Unparalleled" sword, there's really no need for further explanation; the Tomb of the Hegemon in "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is undoubtedly the tomb of the Emperor Chu the Conqueror.

The Mysterious Bookstore put the tomb of Xiang Yu, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror, into a book. As Xiang Yu's descendant King Chu Heng of Emperor Chu the Conqueror naturally could not tolerate this, and it was inevitable that he would send people to arrest Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei originally thought that King Chu Heng should have sent someone to arrest him a few months ago, but he did not expect that it would take so long and that Saint Chu would be sent to investigate the Mysterious Bookstore.

"It's so uncomfortable!" Thinking of this, Ma Feifei couldn't help but sigh.

He's been completely screwed over by the system, directly provoking such a powerful being—a king of a nation! As long as this matter isn't resolved, King Chu Heng will definitely not let it go, unless Ma Feifei moves the Mysterious Bookstore out of the Chu Kingdom, but that's clearly impossible.
