The Azure Flying Sword
"Is this the sword they're looking for? It looks pretty good."
Shen Ge looked thoughtfully at the flying sword stuck in a giant skull not far away.
The flying sword was entirely azure blue, emitting a faint blue light, giving it a slightly dreamlike appearance.
Although this flying sword is quite old and doesn't look particularly precious, it shouldn't be completely useless yet.
Shen Ge took a few steps forward to take the flying sword, but he stopped after only a few steps. Just now, a black aura flashed past from the huge skull beneath the flying sword.
Although this black aura was the same as the surrounding black mist, Shen Ge still sensed a difference: that thing was a remnant soul!
The remnant soul that had been suppressed by this flying sword for so many years and had not yet dissipated was no ordinary thing no matter how you looked at it, Shen Ge was a little unsure of what to do.
He wasn't particularly afraid of this remnant soul, but he didn't dare gamble. He couldn't risk whether the person inside him would care about his life or death. After all, with the Samsara Method alone, he could only deal with remnant souls at the Spirit Severing Early Stage.
Just then, a sweet female voice sounded behind Shen Ge: "Why did you stop? Hurry up and go up, I've been waiting for ages."
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Ge was instantly terrified. It was her! She had been following right behind him without him noticing!
Shen Ge's heart pounded wildly, and his breathing became erratic. After a while, he slowly turned his head with a smile on his face, but the smile looked uglier than a grimace.
"S-senpai..."
"Don't call me 'senior'," Junior Sister Xue said with a slight smile. "You're really wicked, you actually lured a Evil Demon here on purpose."
"Um... that... senior... this is a..."
"You want to say this is a coincidence?" Junior Sister Xue's eyes gleamed with a sly smile. "It doesn't matter."
"Now, go up and get rid of that remnant soul right now. If you do well, I might spare your life."
Shen Ge remained silent for a long while before letting out a heavy sigh, "Sigh~"
He then turned and headed toward the enormous skull; now he was like a fish on a chopping board, with no choice but to accept his fate.
As soon as Shen Ge approached the giant skull, he sensed a chilling aura carrying a strong sense of malice. That aura chilled him to the bone, and his entire soul felt a strong sense of resistance.
"What are you still dawdling about? If you keep dragging this out, my senior sister won't be able to hold on much longer," Junior Sister Xue urged calmly.
"That damned woman, she doesn't care about the lives of her fellow disciples at all, she's truly a viper." Shen Ge cursed inwardly, then suppressed his inner protest and slowly flew towards the sword on the giant skull.
Upon reaching the sword, Shen Ge's six senses were frantically warning him; he knew that once he touched this sword, his life would be in grave danger.
But at this moment, in this confined space, especially with that woman watching from not far away, he had no choice.
Making contact with this sword might offer him a chance of survival, but if he resists, his fate will undoubtedly be death.
Don't think you can turn the tables just because they're only one major realm apart. That's impossible. Compared to a Nascent Spirit Severing, Nascent Soul Spirit cultivator is like the difference between a cultivator and a mortal.
After calming his State of Mind, Shen Ge began to use a series of spells to stabilize his mind and strengthen his soul, such as the Clear Heart Incantation and the Golden Light Incantation. He even secretly activated the Samsara Method.
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Shen Ge used it all without hesitation.
"No..." Junior Sister Xue was about to scold Shen Ge for not allowing him to use these spells, but before she could finish speaking, Shen Ge pulled out the flying sword stuck in the giant skull.
Suddenly, a tense atmosphere arose, with billowing black fog churning around.
Suddenly, a Junior Sister Xue cry rang out from behind, "You f***ing..."
Before she could finish speaking, her words abruptly stopped. Shen Ge turned around and saw that her body was surrounded by sword light and the sound of Daoist chanting, while a black aura was also wrapped around her.
The remnant soul inside actually bypassed Shen Ge and went into that woman's body!
While Shen Ge was overjoyed, he didn't remain idle. He swiftly attacked the woman, taking advantage of their struggle for control of the body—if not now, when?
Besides, Shen Ge wouldn't be happy no matter who won, so why not strike first!
Because of the Sword Qi blocking his way, most of Shen Ge's attacks couldn't even touch the woman, so he came up with a killing move right away.
Yin-Yang Millstone, Life and Death Sword, Six Paths of Samsara Fist...
As a result, although this attack broke through the surrounding Sword Intent, it was blocked by a magical Law Artifact automatically protected its owner.
This scene infuriated Shen Ge, who immediately unleashed his newly acquired flying sword and slashed at the attacker.
Although he had never refined this flying sword, he figured that based on its past quality, it should be able to damage that protective magic Law Artifact.
If things really don't work out, then Shen Ge will have no choice but to run away. How the hell can he fight if he can't even break through their defenses?
Fortunately, the flying sword did not disappoint Shen Ge. Although it looked a bit damaged, it had at least left a small crack on the protective Law Treasure. He believed that it would destroy the protective Law Treasure in less than ten attacks.
After seven attacks, the protective Law Treasure item let out a mournful cry, it was almost unable to withstand the onslaught.
It's only because Shen Ge's strength is low that he could withstand a single blow from this sword, which is his protective Law Treasure.
Just as the thing was about to break, Shen Ge was preparing to deliver the final blow when the person inside suddenly opened their eyes, startling Shen Ge so much that he immediately took a few steps back.
However, the final blow was still delivered.
With a "crack," the protective magic Law Artifact finally shattered.
Having run some distance, Shen Ge looked back and saw that the woman was just standing there and not giving chase. Seeing this, Shen Ge didn't hesitate and directly retrieved the flying sword and launched it again.
A dark blue sword light pierced through the black mist and rushed towards Junior Sister Xue, almost instantly reaching her.
Shen Ge's face gradually showed some anticipation. Judging from the quality of this sword, as long as that damned woman had no defense, if it hit her, she would be seriously injured even if she didn't die.
But things didn't go as Shen Ge expected. The flying sword he threw was caught between the dead woman's two fingers. Although a few drops of blood fell, it was barely a wound and healed in the blink of an eye.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Ge nodded and ran, not even wanting the flying sword anymore.
Suddenly, the flying sword held between Junior Sister Xue's two fingers trembled, and a faint Sword Intent emanated from its body.
Although the Sword Intent was faint, it was as vast and majestic as the heavens.
Junior Sister Xue suddenly had more than a dozen bloody holes in her chest and abdomen, with residual Sword Qi still damaging her body.
Of course, these weren't serious injuries. The most serious one was the sword that had damaged her spiritual sea, which was now continuously spewing out extremely pure metal-type spiritual energy. Junior Sister Xue quickly flung the flying sword away as if it were a hot potato.
Although he had already run away, Shen Ge, who was keeping a close eye on the area, immediately seized the opportunity to snatch the flying sword back. From Shen Ge's escape to the retrieval of the flying sword, everything happened in the blink of an eye.
