Chapter 597 Chapter 597 – Heavenly Weapon
“Is this senior Song’s strength… ?”.
Xiao Han looked at the pile of strength under his feet in a daze as he walked forward. Ever since he had followed Song Qingruo and left the place, he had followed her all the way here.
Although the result was simple, the process was not as simple as imagined.
Along the way, there was blood everywhere. Of course, it was not their own but someone else’s. Song Qingruo in front of him was simply a G.o.d of killing
Xiao Han had always thought that he was crazy enough to be able to increase his cultivation level by killing with the murder word in hand. He almost wanted to go up and kill everyone he saw.
However, compared to Song Qingruo in front of him, he was nothing. In Xiao Han’s eyes, Song Qingruo was like a G.o.d of death in front of him.
Along the way, whenever she met someone who was not a disciple of the Qionghua Sword Sect, this young lady only had one act: kill.
Her cultivation was very high, and her strength, which had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, was already the ceiling in this Sword Tomb.
And her combat strength was even more terrifying. Before this, Xiao Han had seen with his own eyes that a deacon of the Netherworld Sect, who was also in the Spirit Transformation Realm like Song Qingruo, was killed by her sword. The whole process was clean and neat, almost as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
That deacon of the Netherworld Sect had not even been able to block ten moves from Song Qingruo before he had been killed by her sword, leaving behind a b.l.o.o.d.y corpse. The entire process had left Xiao Han extremely shocked.
From its looks, even though they were both in the Spirit Transformation Stage, due to the difference in their physiques, secret techniques, and cultivation levels, there was also a huge difference in their battle prowess.
In this aspect, Song Qingruo, who had an innate sword body and was the daughter of the Qionghua Sect master, was undoubtedly far superior. In the entire Spirit Transformation Stage, there were probably very few people who could match her strength.
This was terrifying. However, it made people feel at ease.
At least when he looked at Song Qingruo in front of him, Xiao Han felt at ease. He didn’t have to worry about when he would be killed.
What a joke. With this master in front of him, it wasn’t certain who would be killed.
However, it was a pity for the corpses on the ground. Xiao Han looked at the corpses under his feet and felt regretful. To him, the corpses on the ground were not corpses but a pile of cultivation bags.
If it weren’t because of him caring about Song Qingruo and didn’t dare to reveal the ancient sword’s ability in front of her, Xiao Han would have absorbed the essence from the corpse immediately.
Unfortunately…
Looking at Song Qingruo, who was walking silently with a cold expression, Xiao Han felt regretful. In the end, he dismissed the dangerous thought in his heart.
If he were to expose the ancient sword’s ability in front of the other party, it would be considered light if the ancient sword were to be s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the other party.
He was most afraid that the other party would treat him as some unorthodox sect and directly slash him down. He would have no place to complain about his injustice at that time.
Thinking of this, no matter how tempted Xiao Han was, he could only endure it. Sighing silently, he finally moved forward and caught up with Song Qingruo’s figure.
“Senior Song… Are we almost there?”
Looking at Song Qingruo’s back, Xiao Han couldn’t help but ask. They had already walked for a few days. At this moment, it was probably not far from the time when the magic formation would open again.
However, Song Qingruo still didn’t show any signs of returning, so he didn’t know what to
do.
Hearing Xiao Han’s words, Song Qingruo’s body paused, then she said without turning her head, “Soon.”
Xiao Han was helpless, but he looked around and felt the indistinct aura. In the end, he could only follow. To be honest, he didn’t know what Song Qingruo was going to do, but now, he could only follow.
Otherwise, he would risk being tracked down if he were to leave Song Qingruo’s protection, given the current situation.
They walked forward and finally arrived at another area.
An inexplicable aura appeared in front of them, like the sharpness of a divine sword leaving its body. It made people’s hearts tremble, giving out an inexplicable feeling.
After arriving here, a vague sword’s intent appeared in the surroundings, enveloping this area. It was particularly shocking.
As Xiao Han approached the area, he felt a terrifying aura lurking in the air, causing him to feel a wave of fear.
Heavenly Weapon! The aura of a Heavenly Weapon was fluctuating in the area. The enormous aura was spreading in all directions, and even a Qi Refinement Stage cultivator like him could sense it.
This was truly a critical situation. There was a Heavenly Weapon in this place. Xiao Han couldn’t help but hold the Ancient Sword in his hand. Then, he turned around and looked at Song Qingruo in front of him.
Did she know about this situation long ago? Or was it because of this Heavenly Weapon?
Various thoughts flashed through Xiao Han’s mind.
“You came as expected.”
A voice came from the front. Xiao Han raised his head and saw a figure appear in front of him.
It was a figure dressed in a black robe. His entire body was covered up, and his true appearance couldn’t be seen clearly. One could tell that he was probably an old man from his voice.
“As promised, I’ve come over.”
Song Qingruo raised her head and looked at the old man in front of her. Then, she said indifferently, “Now, move aside.”
“Since you’ve come, I’ll naturally keep my promise and make way for you.”
The old man looked at Song Qingruo and then said with a smile, “However, I can’t guarantee what the outcome will be.
“Now, please come in.”
He made his way and revealed the scene behind him as he spoke. It was a pa.s.sage that led to the depths. An unrivaled Sword Qi swept through it, which appeared extremely sharp and astonis.h.i.+ng. “This is…”
Xiao Han’s heart was filled with horror, and he couldn’t help but pause in his footsteps. However, song Qingruo didn’t hesitate at all. Under Xiao Han’s gaze, she directly strode forward.
Seeing this, even though Xiao Han hesitated, he could only bite the bullet and follow them in. Beside them, the old man watched Song Qingruo, and Xiao Han enter. He smiled and didn’t do anything else. He just watched them leave.
“Using an innate sword body as a sacrificial tribute to a sword should be considered a good sacrifice…”
He looked at Song Qingruo and Xiao Han’s figures and said softly.
Both Song Qingruo and Xiao Han walked to the end of an empty area. In front of them was a desolate wilderness. The surrounding Gen Qi was exceptionally dense. It was not inferior to the spirit vein essence of the Qionghua Sword Sect. It was a good place for cultivation.
If Xiao Han had been able to cultivate in such a place before entering the Sword Tomb, he would probably have woken up from his dream with a smile. But now, he did not feel happy at all. Instead, he was extremely solemn as he stared ahead.
Strictly speaking, he was staring at the sword in front of him. There was a vast altar there. There was a longsword on the altar that was looking straight ahead. A faint golden radiance shone on it, making it appear exceptionally resplendent and beautiful.
There was a majestic aura on the long sword, but it wasn’t close yet. The aura on the longsword was enough to make people feel terrified, as if a longsword had pierced their chest. There was an inexplicable sense of fear.
And the unique aura on it made Xiao Han grit his teeth, feeling a sense of insignificance.
A Heavenly Weapon! This was a divine weapon. From its looks, it had been kept here for a long time. He didn’t know why no one took it away but left it here alone.
Logically speaking, this shouldn’t be the case. How precious was a Heavenly Weapon? It was enough to be considered an inheritance treasure even to those large sects.
Anyone who saw it would go crazy over it. Even Xiao Han had the urge to rush forward and take it away when he saw it.
However, he quickly held it back. Unlike the ancient sword in his hand, this Heavenly Weapon was not something that could be easily dealt with.
If he rushed forward, he would overestimate himself and seek his death.
Beside him, song Qingruo did not hesitate and walked forward. She slowly walked toward the longsword in front of her.
The surroundings might be terrifying, but it did not affect her at all. She walked forward unimpeded and came into contact with the longsword.
Finally, under Xiao Han’s gaze, she extended her arm and grabbed the longsword.
Crack…
A soft sound swept across the area as if the longsword had left her body.
Under Xiao Han’s perception, the moment song Qingruo grabbed the longsword, the surrounding sword’s intent began to boil and rise abruptly. A wave of sword’s intent swept out in all directions and appeared in this area as if a storm was about to rise.
Song Qingruo’s body immediately froze. She stood in a deadlock on the spot, and the power contained within the long sword clashed with each other, interweaving.
She was using her will to make contact with the Heavenly Weapon’s spirituality in an attempt to subdue the Heavenly Weapon in front of her. This action made Xiao Han exclaim in surprise. It also made him nervous.
“I wonder if senior Song will succeed?”
Xiao Han was nervous. His eyes were focused on Song Qingruo. Under his gaze, Song Qingruo’s body began to move again not long after.
In her eyes, a faint light appeared. It was like an invincible Sword Qi that swept all directions, cleaving apart the primordial chaos. At the next moment, she straightened her body and used force with her arm to pull out the longsword in her hand, causing it to leave the altar.
A storm raged as the Gen Qi in all directions began to boil in an instant.
The might of the Heavenly Weapon was displayed, causing people to be horrified.
‘She did it.’
Xiao Han was immediately shocked, and this thought flashed through his mind.
The result was as expected from Song Qingruo. She already had an unusually strong affinity with the Weapon Spirit as an innate sword body. This point was fully displayed during the process of subduing the Heavenly Weapon.
The spirit of the Heavenly Weapon was awakened by her once again, and it was pulled out.
But before she could do anything, the lightning around her began to flash. There were sounds of thunder rumbling around, across the four directions, shaking the ground.
It was an Armed Catastrophe.
