Chapter 174: This Sword is Great, It’s Mine Now
“Uh…”
At this moment, everyone was staring at Ye Xuan with a look of astonishment.
“Ye Xuan, have you lost your mind–!” Hu Lan shouted at Ye Xuan, “This sword is extremely evil, ordinary cultivators who approach rashly will die–!”
“Ye Xuan, come back–!!!” Hu Qianzao also couldn’t help but shout, “The Jade Fox Palace isn’t worth this risk–!!!”
“What, he’s doing this for the Jade Fox Palace?!”
“Yes, it must be–!”
Hearing Hu Qianzao’s words, the people of the Jade Fox Palace were shocked, and then moved deeply.
Ye Xuan must be risking approaching the evil sword for the sake of the Jade Fox Palace.
Oh my, that’s so touching. Ye Xuan is definitely taking this risk because of the palace master.
Despite having gone through so much, despite being tired, and even wanting to sever ties with the palace master forever, whenever the palace master is in need, he always selflessly steps forward to make sacrifices for her.
This is so moving–!!!
Seeing Ye Xuan step by step approaching the evil sword, Hu Qianzao also couldn’t help but run towards Ye Xuan.
However, at this moment, Hu Lan directly stopped her and said, “The power of the evil sword is very unstable now. Ye Xuan has already gone over, if anyone else goes now, it will trigger the explosion of the evil sword’s power, do not go over, Palace Master–!”
“What should we do then?” Hu Qianzao asked.
Hu Lan said, “We can only form a barrier outside to seal the power of the evil sword for now. If the evil sword’s power bursts out, it won’t turn the Jade Fox Palace into a wasteland.”
“No–!!!” Hu Qianzao directly said, “If we do that, Ye Xuan will bear all the force of the evil sword’s self-destruction inside. If so, even if he could have survived, he definitely won’t be able to.”
“Ah…” Hearing this, Hu Lan sighed and said, “At this point, we can only live or die with Ye Xuan. Disciples of the Jade Fox Palace, quickly prepare your means of self-preservation.”
“Yes.” Hearing this, the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace became tense.
While they were moved by Ye Xuan’s sacrifice, they didn’t actually want to just wait for death. If the evil sword’s power explodes, if they don’t protect themselves, wouldn’t that just add to the chaos?
Since they couldn’t seal the evil sword’s power from outside, they could only form defensive formations around themselves.
However, at this moment, everyone thought that Ye Xuan was doing this out of love for Hu Qianzao, willing to risk his life to save the Jade Fox Palace.
Even Qingxue and Yu Ling’er thought so, but no one knew that Ye Xuan was interested in the sword itself. He hadn’t found a truly good sword since his arrival.
The Profound Sword, although he had given it to Qingxue, it was actually Qingxue’s, merely returned to her by him. Even if he hadn’t given the Profound Sword to Qingxue, someone else would have.
But this sword in front of him now was ownerless. It was really just being given to him. If it were a true domain of evil energy, Ye Xuan naturally wouldn’t dare to enter.
But at this moment, the source of this domain of evil energy was the Demonic Origin Sword. Inside Ye Xuan’s body, there was a Supreme Sword Bone.
All swords in the world, in his presence, cannot help but submit. Previously, when the sword was in Yi Xie’s hands, that was one thing, but now, since it had been thrown down by Yi Xie, how could it possibly harm Ye Xuan?
The evil energy around him was like mere air to Ye Xuan, having no effect on him at all. He slowly approached the Demonic Origin Sword, looking at the long sword before him.
Without any hesitation, he reached out towards the hilt.
“??!!!”
Everyone thought that Ye Xuan was planning to get close to the Demonic Origin Sword to seal its power, but at this moment, everyone was stunned.
No one expected that Ye Xuan was actually reaching out to pull out the evil sword.
“Damn–!!!”
“He’s crazy–!!!”
A disciple of the Jade Fox Palace couldn’t help but curse. Such dense evil energy, for cultivators, is like deadly poison.
Normally, cultivators would avoid such a sword at all costs. Unless one was tempted by the sword’s power and had fallen, one would think of drawing the sword.
Could it be that Ye Xuan was tempted by the power of the evil sword?! That shouldn’t be the case, Ye Xuan’s resolve is well-known to everyone.
Even through such setbacks and pain, he never changed his original intention. While everyone was shocked by Ye Xuan’s actions, they saw him pull out the evil sword.
Immediately, the Demonic Origin Sword trembled uncontrollably in Ye Xuan’s hand, quickly all the evil energy was drawn into the sword, and the dark energy around it also dissipated.
In Ye Xuan’s hand, it was just a simple, unadorned iron sword. It was only a bit larger and heavier than the usual cultivator’s sword, with a blade as wide as a hand and not very sharp at the edge.
The Demonic Origin Sword, which originally had the destructive power of thousands of miles which had been detonated by its former owner, almost exploding, but now in Ye Xuan’s hand, it was as docile as a child.
No… not docile, but fearful. The sword was afraid of Ye Xuan, showing submission to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan wiped the sword in his hand, slightly furrowing his brow, ‘It’s a letdown, this sword is far inferior to the Profound Sword.’
Although it seemed to have more expressive power than the Profound Sword, it was only because this sword completely abandoned balance in pursuit of maximizing power.
All the materials in the sword were integrated to enhance the evil energy’s power, and although the sword’s power was great, it could only be used a few times before it would self-destruct.
Using this sword against enemies truly requires great courage.
However, if he could learn the method of forging this sword, and craft similar swords himself, then whenever he faced anyone, he could just throw a sword to explode at them…
In that case, his enemies would probably have nightmares at night. Unfortunately, he had not yet learned the art of sword-making, so this idea would have to be set aside for now.
“Ye Xuan… are you alright?” By this time, Qingxue had already come up behind Ye Xuan, asking him.
She had been worried about Ye Xuan getting hurt, which is why she hadn’t come over earlier. After all, with her cultivation, if the explosion of the evil sword wasn’t targeted at her, she didn’t need to worry about it.
But now, Ye Xuan had the sword in his hand, seemingly also having contained the sword’s evil energy, so naturally, she could come over.
“I’m fine.” Ye Xuan turned around, holding the Demonic Origin Sword, and smiled at Qing Xue, “It’s just that this sword is mine now.” As he spoke, he even shook the sword in his hand.
Qing Xue’s expression changed slightly, even she had to be fearful of the evil energy on the sword. Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan seemed completely unconcerned.
What was going on?!
