Hunting Her Fourth Soul Ring

Hunting Her Fourth Soul Ring

However, just as Qian Renxue was about to catch it, a jolt of electricity suddenly coursed through her mind.

"Smack~!"

A crisp smack rang out.

The Swift Sword Master suddenly blurred into an afterimage and unleashed a Swift Sword Style upon Qian Renxue.

A swift strike traced an exceptionally tricky arc, easily bypassing the Juque Sword's raised defense, and its flat lightly smacked Qian Renxue's little butt.

At once, embarrassment and anger surged through Qian Renxue's heart.

Just as she was about to erupt, the Swift Sword Master suddenly sheathed his sword.

He leaped backward, pulling away from Qian Renxue, and slowly spoke.

"Your comprehension is good, but your direction is wrong."

"Sword Qi does not lie within, but without."

"True Sword Qi is not condensed from Soul Power. It should be condensed by borrowing the power of heaven and earth, tempered by the power of the cosmos!"

"One's own Soul Power is limited, while the power of heaven and earth is endless.

"Only by borrowing the power of heaven and earth to condense Sword Qi can your Sword Qi become inexhaustible.

"Then it can be unleashed at any time and emerge anywhere, striking wherever you point, leaving others unable to guard against it!"

Having said his piece, the Swift Sword Master awkwardly put away his sword.

At the same time, his form dispersed as he returned to the Infinite Sword Field.

"A Heavy Sword has no edge; great skill appears clumsy!"

"A sword requires not only speed, but strength as well. Otherwise, it is merely a feather, brushing lightly past!"

Following the Swift Sword Master, the Heavy Sword Master also put away his sword and returned to the Infinite Sword Field.

Qian Renxue seemed to gain some insight from the words of the two Sword Masters.

She had originally been ready to enter that state, but she had simply taken the wrong direction.

Seeing that Qian Renxue had gained some insight, the Transforming Sword Master no longer disturbed her comprehension and awkwardly put away his sword, returning to the Infinite Sword Field.

The aura around Qian Renxue suddenly became chaotic. The airflow solidified, transforming into blade after blade as thin as cicada wings.

These blades were beyond Qian Renxue's control. Like snowflakes filling the sky, they scattered in all directions, slicing through everything they touched.

Looking at the chaotic energy around her, Qian Renxue seemed to realize something and extended the Juque Sword in her hand.

Drawn by it, the chaotic energy surged toward the Juque Sword like countless rivers returning to the sea, attaching itself to the blade.

A layer of white light radiated from the Juque Sword's surface, and a fluctuation that did not belong to Soul Power emanated from it.

Qian Renxue felt as though the Juque Sword in her hand had come alive at that moment.

It continuously devoured and absorbed the Angel Spirit Power within her body.

The Juque Sword's weight suddenly increased. Its ten-pound weight instantly became one hundred pounds in Qian Renxue's hand.

Feeling the energy flowing across the Juque Sword's surface, Qian Renxue and the sword became one in heart and mind.

She closed her eyes and slowly raised the sword above her head, sensing the path of Sword Qi.

If she wanted to unleash Sword Qi, she first had to comprehend its trajectory.

After closing her eyes, Qian Renxue saw a white path.

The path stretched endlessly before her eyes, leading to an unknown place.

Qian Renxue tightened her grip on the Juque Sword and heavily slashed down the sword raised above her head, following that curved path.

"Whoosh~!"

A strand of Sword Qi capable of severing everything shot from the Juque Sword's blade, hurtling directly toward Ling Feng, who stood opposite Qian Renxue.

Ling Feng: "???!"

Seeing a storm-like strand of Sword Qi rush straight at his face along with the Juque Sword's heavy slash, Ling Feng was speechless.

He even suspected that Qian Renxue was taking revenge through official means.

Because he had severely injured her mother, she was deliberately using him to test her Sword Qi.

Sword Qi was unlike Soul Power. Its offensive power was immense, it was elusive and unpredictable, and its trajectory could not be anticipated.

Moreover, Ling Feng had no idea how many strands of Sword Qi Qian Renxue had condensed within this attack.

Thus, he did not dare to relax in the slightest. With a flip of his hand, a Sword Gang formed.

The Sword Gang condensed into a sturdy wall of air before him, blocking all the Sword Qi a foot in front of him.

Then, a sudden change occurred.

The originally incomparably solid Sword Qi suddenly split into thousands upon thousands of fine strands, like a tightly bundled coil of steel suddenly exploding apart and attacking Ling Feng from every direction.

Caught off guard, Ling Feng was swallowed by the suddenly erupting Sword Qi.

Ling Feng: "...!"

"I saw a white path. This path was curved yet straight, and at its end was a sharp sword with no hilt, only a blade!" After unleashing a strand of Sword Qi, Qian Renxue spoke in delight.

However, when she raised her head, she saw that Ling Feng had somehow become tightly wrapped in countless strands of Sword Qi.

A deep look of confusion appeared in Qian Renxue's golden eyes.

Hmm~!

How had he suddenly been wrapped into a cocoon by Sword Qi?

Ling Feng waved his hand, dispersing all the Sword Qi surrounding him.

He looked at Qian Renxue with great approval. "Comprehending two realms in one moment of enlightenment—not bad!"

"Now that you have broken through level forty, it is time to equip you with a Soul Ring!"

With that, Ling Feng called out.

"Little Black~!"

At the cry of Little Black, the entire Hidden Sword Peak suddenly trembled.

As though the earth's crust were shifting, the scraping sound of scales against stone rang out with a creak, creak, creak.

The swords embedded in the ground also shook, their blades trembling violently as a powerful aura continuously drew closer.

The next moment, a massive figure that blotted out the sky slowly crawled out from beneath the mountain peak. Its enormous thousand-zhang body appeared before Qian Renxue.

The black giant python shot straight into the clouds, coiling above the heavens as its snake eyes looked down.

"Master, were you calling for me just now?"

The black giant python coiled above the clouds and spoke human words, asking Ling Feng below.

Its rough voice echoed across Hidden Sword Peak, its energy stirring up a wave of air.

Standing on Hidden Sword Peak's ground, Qian Renxue felt a wave of heat rush toward her and engulf her whole body.

A thick stench of blood spread through the air. Qian Renxue's delicate nose twitched, and she instinctively frowned.

Then she instantly realized something.

"_"

What a huge breath.

Qian Renxue cast a resentful glance at Ling Feng beside her, who was protected by energy and Gang Qi that blocked all the heat outside. Her little eyes became even more resentful.

Hmph~! He did not even think to remind her so she could prepare herself.

If he had given her even the slightest warning, she would not have had to endure such an enormous breath from Little Black.

Qian Renxue felt as though her entire body stank after being blown by Little Black's breath.

Seeing that Ling Feng ignored it, Little Black shifted its gaze to Qian Renxue nearby.

It was puzzled. Who was this little weakling?!

No one had come up Hidden Sword Peak for so many years. How had this little weakling gotten up here?

Because Qian Renxue had been carried up by Ling Feng the entire way, Little Black did not know that the bundle Ling Feng had carried was her.

Under Little Black's puzzled gaze, Qian Renxue felt as though she were being watched by a prehistoric beast.

Fear arose within her for no reason.

Looking at that mouthful of fangs, Qian Renxue felt that Little Black could tear her to pieces with a single bite.

An even greater fear rose in her heart, and she could not stop herself from shivering.

"Human little girl, you need not fear me. You were brought up the mountain by Master, so I will not harm you."

Seeing Qian Renxue's fear of it, Little Black spoke human words again and withdrew the pressure of its ferocious beast aura.

"Little Black, she is a little child I am raising. For a long time to come, she will live on Hidden Sword Peak with them.

"She has now broken through level forty and happens to need a Soul Ring.

"Go to the Star Dou Great Forest and capture a nine-thousand-year... ah, no... a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast for me!"

Ling Feng had originally intended to have Little Black capture a nine-thousand-year Soul Beast, but upon further thought, Qian Renxue was, after all, a major villain.

With immense fate surrounding her, Tang San could absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast as his fourth Soul Ring, so Qian Renxue should be able to do so as well.

Thus, he changed his words and had Little Black directly capture a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.
