Everyone was stunned. The knights were trembling all over.
The expressions on Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu's faces were filled with shock. "This is... the Angel Holy Sword!!"
"Dead...? Un... Uncle Tiger is dead?"
The two Dai brothers were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with terror.
Only Lin Ye's heart was surging. It's real... I really can summon the Angel God's divine artifact!!
He suppressed the joy on his face.
He stared coldly at Dai Mubai. "I like returning tooth for tooth. Since you wanted to cripple one of my arms, then I'll cripple one of yours!"
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! I'm a prince of the Star Luo Empire! Aren't you afraid of facing the Star Luo Empire's wrath if you touch me?!" Dai Mubai was terrified out of his wits.
Sitting on the ground, he frantically scooted backward with his backside while screaming threats in terror.
"So what if you're a prince? Today, I'll definitely cripple your arm!" Lin Ye did not stop walking as he slowly raised the sword in his hand.
Dai Mubai trembled violently. A sour, foul-smelling liquid flowed from his crotch as he begged in utter terror, "Wait! I was wrong! Please spare me! Spare me!"
Lin Ye's expression hardened, and he swung his sword down.
"No! Don't~~"
Splat~
"Aaargh!!~" Dai Mubai let out a despairing scream.
Lin Ye severed his left arm on the spot. Blood sprayed wildly from the stump as he screamed repeatedly, "Ah! Ah! My hand! My hand, aaahhh!!"
Lin Ye then turned his gaze toward Dai Weisi, but his consciousness began to blur.
Summoning the Angel Holy Sword had drained all of his physical strength and Soul Power.
The next moment, he fainted.
"Disciple!"
Qian Daoliu flashed over and caught the collapsing Lin Ye.
He looked at Lin Ye in his arms, then at the Angel Divine Artifact embedded in the ground. His expression shifted uncertainly. "What exactly is going on? Why would the Angel God's divine artifact..."
Qian Daoliu temporarily set those thoughts aside and said to Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai, "Go. What happened today ends here. If your Star Luo Imperial Family refuses to accept this, bring your emperor to my Worship Hall and demand an explanation."
"Worship Hall...?"
"Go! Hurry!"
Dai Weisi and the others fled in panic.
At that moment, the Angel Holy Sword shook again and shot back to the Worship Hall, embedding itself steadily into the disc once more.
"Grandpa, what exactly happened? Why did the Angel Holy Sword... suddenly fly over here?" Qian Renxue could not make sense of it.
Qian Daoliu could not figure it out either. He could only offer his own interpretation. "Perhaps it is because you are inheritors chosen by the Angel God. When you truly encounter danger, the Angel Holy Sword will appear to protect you."
Qian Renxue could only think that this was the most likely possibility.
But what worried Qian Daoliu was that the divine artifact had protected only Lin Ye and not Qian Renxue.
He had never imagined that the divine artifact would come because Lin Ye had summoned it.
"Let's go, Xiaoxue."
"Mm."
The two of them left with the unconscious Lin Ye.
When Lin Ye woke up, it was already noon the next day. He lay in bed and groggily opened his eyes.
The moment he opened them, Qian Renxue's face was right in front of him.
Lin Ye rolled his eyes and said somewhat unhappily, "Don't get so close to me!"
"Oh, now you're angry? I stayed up all night watching over you yesterday!" Qian Renxue said displeasedly, hands on her hips.
"How could I not be angry? If anything had gone wrong yesterday, we both would've been dead."
When one's own strength was insufficient, provoking someone stronger was undoubtedly unwise. When you could not win, running away was nothing shameful. It was better than losing your life.
"I didn't leave when you told me to yesterday because Grandpa would show up to protect us."
"Our Six-Winged Angel clan possesses a unique method of transmitting messages through Soul Power. Members of the same clan can communicate within a thousand meters. Once I confirmed they were from the Star Luo Imperial Family, I sent Grandpa a message."
"Otherwise, did you think I would be that reckless? If I were really that reckless, I would've died long ago during these past two years in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace." Qian Renxue said proudly.
"You should've said so earlier." Lin Ye calmed down somewhat.
In the original story, Qian Renxue was indeed clever, but she was only eleven years old now.
"Alright, alright, you two should stop bickering." Qian Daoliu smiled helplessly, then said, "Disciple, see if you can get out of bed. If you can, we should prepare to set out."
"Alright."
Lin Ye stretched his muscles and bones. He had recovered.
The three of them immediately headed for the Star Dou Great Forest.
Since Qian Daoliu had not questioned him about the Angel Holy Sword, Lin Ye naturally would not take the initiative to bring it up.
Once this matter was revealed, it would bring him no benefit.
And being able to summon the Angel Divine Artifact had become a powerful trump card for Lin Ye when facing formidable enemies!
After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Daoliu spread out his spiritual power and began searching.
This time, their luck was quite good as well. Within two hours, they found a soul beast suitable for Lin Ye.
It was a 1,300-year-old Light Fire Flame Beast.
It possessed both light and fire attributes.
Qian Daoliu heavily injured it with a single strike, and the Light Fire Flame Beast fell to the ground.
"Go on, Disciple."
Lin Ye quickly stepped forward and killed it with one slash.
He then sat cross-legged and began absorbing the soul ring.
The purple thousand-year soul ring slowly rose and descended onto Lin Ye's body. Terrifying energy rapidly began to merge with his body.
Before long, Lin Ye had absorbed the soul ring.
His Soul Power also surged dramatically because of it!
Level 21!
Level 22!
Level 23!
Lin Ye's Soul Power rose three full levels at once!
"He really succeeded. A thousand-year second soul ring..." Qian Renxue's gaze turned solemn. She finally felt some pressure.
"Not bad, Disciple." Qian Daoliu nodded inwardly and asked, "How is it? What is your second soul skill?"
"Teacher, my second soul skill is a powerful attack skill called Angel Twin Slash."
"Angel Twin Slash? Explain it in detail." Qian Daoliu asked further.
"Alright." Lin Ye summoned his Angel Holy Sword Martial Soul, preparing to demonstrate and explain. "Angel Twin Slash has two slashes. The first is a piercing slash with the light attribute."
"I call it Bright Slash!"
As Lin Ye spoke, intense light energy began gathering around the holy sword. The next moment, his body moved with the sword.
He erupted with astonishing speed beyond his own limits, his body flashing forward instantly as he severed a large tree before him with a single slash.
Bang!
This slash was an agility-type skill. It unleashed instantaneous speed for a piercing attack or assassination strike. It was extremely fast and possessed powerful penetration and armor-piercing capabilities.
"The second slash is a long-range slash with the Holy Sacred Fire attribute."
"I call it Holy Fire Slash!"
As Lin Ye finished speaking, fierce flames rose from the Angel Holy Sword.
"Hah!"
He swung his sword.
A flaming sword blade shot out, striking and blasting apart a huge boulder a hundred meters away.
Bang!
The boulder exploded.
This move was highly destructive and carried a burning effect.
Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue sucked in breaths at the same time. "Hiss! One soul skill is equivalent to two soul skills!"
