Suddenly, in a certain room within the mystical space, an elder with white hair and eyebrows abruptly opened his eyes, revealing a flash of shock, and instantly disappeared from the room.
Shortly thereafter, two elders dressed in long robes, with white hair and brows, appeared in this mysterious space, their gazes fixed upon the ancient sword flickering with golden light, their expressions extremely solemn.
"The Divine Sword has revealed its spirit, what has happened?"
One of the elders couldn’t help but say.
"The Divine Sword has been dormant for a long time; it must have sensed something, or perhaps..."
The other elder’s eyes narrowed slightly, his demeanor somewhat hesitant.
"The seal of the Evil Blade has been broken!"
Both elders spoke in unison, looking at each other with unsightly expressions on their faces.
"Wasn’t the Evil Blade suppressed by the Soul Stone? How could it reappear in the world and even break the first of the Ninefold Seals!"
One elder said with a solemn expression.
"The evil energy within the Evil Blade is too intense. If the wielder’s heart is not firm enough, they are easily susceptible to being devoured and demonized by it, and that would be troublesome!"
The other elder spoke in a deep voice.
"Send someone immediately to find the person holding the blade, bring them and the Evil Blade back, and reseal it. Once all the Ninefold Seals are broken, I fear that no one will be able to reseal it again. If the wielder’s mind is completely controlled by the blade’s malicious energy, that would truly be a big problem!"
The elder spoke with an extremely solemn look, and the other nodded in agreement. Then both disappeared from the mysterious space in an instant, leaving only the ancient sword still flickering with light.
Meanwhile, in a villa courtyard of Haitang Garden, the terrifying explosion of energy finally ceased, and the strong figure from Medicine King Valley was revealed, looking incredibly disheveled.
His clothes were ragged, his hair was disordered, his complexion was pale, the corner of his mouth was stained with blood, there was a deep cut on his chest that was still bleeding, and his body had been severely injured.
Despite his strength at the Great Perfection Realm of the Qi Condensation Realm, he had incurred such heavy damage from a single strike of the Minghong Blade, which illustrated just how terrifying the power of that strike had been.
For some unknown reason, the Minghong Blade’s power had suddenly surged, unleashing a fearsome force.
"What... what kind of weapon is this?"
The strong figure from Medicine King Valley half-knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with shock, as he stared at the Minghong Blade in Xiao Yifeng’s hands.
Xiao Yifeng let out a shout, his body shooting forward, holding the Minghong Blade and once again harnessing all his strength to attack the Medicine King Valley’s strong figure.
With a blade aura carrying violent and deadly energy, he slashed straight at the strong figure from Medicine King Valley, annihilating all the void’s current where the blade aura passed.
Seeing Xiao Yifeng launch another attack, the strong figure from Medicine King Valley’s face changed. He waved his hand and an Inferior Grade Spiritual Blade appeared in it, mobilizing the remaining power in his body to swing out, hoping to block Xiao Yifeng’s slash.
The blade aura swept across, cutting the Inferior Grade Spiritual Blade in the opponent’s hand into two, and then passed over his arm, severing his right hand completely; blood gushed out.
A shrill and pitiful scream erupted from the man’s mouth, his complexion turned even paler, his forehead beaded with copious cold sweat, and his breath appeared extremely weak.
The dignified strong one at the Qi Condensation Realm’s Great Perfection was directly disabled by Xiao Yifeng, robbed of one arm.
Following that, Xiao Yifeng unleashed another strike, decisively severing the other arm, fresh blood gushing incessantly from the amputated limb.
This strong one from Medicine King Valley knelt to the ground, spirit wilted, with the air of stepping into hell, eyes filled with fear as they beheld Xiao Yifeng.
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes narrowed, executing Soul Devouring, his eyes swiftly engulfed by a blood-red light. They exuded malevolence, a bloodthirsty aura that spread around, turning his eyes into those of a demon—terrifying to the soul with just one glance.
Then, those blood eyes rapidly transformed into twin blood-red vortexes, spinning wildly, generating a horrifying devouring power.
Instantly, the strong one from Medicine King Valley’s body shuddered violently, his gaze turning dull and vacant, succumbing to the Soul Devouring by Xiao Yifeng’s blood eyes.
His brain’s white soul floated out and quickly entered Xiao Yifeng’s eyes, letting Xiao Yifeng’s Soul Power surge once more, his Mental Power growing stronger.
Subsequently, his Essence Blood was also forcefully devoured by Xiao Yifeng’s blood eyes, making these blood eyes even more horrifying.
As Xiao Yifeng was taking out this strong one from Medicine King Valley, the Minghong Blade in his hand began to tremble violently, a terrible, savage power rushing from the blade into Xiao Yifeng’s body, then surging toward his brain.
This savage and violent power made Xiao Yifeng feel deeply unsettled as if it tried to take control of his body.
Moreover, the Minghong Blade continued to unleash a massive amount of this savage and violent power into Xiao Yifeng’s body.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!
Xiao Yifeng’s four major acupoints suddenly let out a roaring noise, four streams of incredibly pure Starforce surged rapidly from these acupoints, filling his whole body.
With Starforce pervading his body, the savage and violent power was promptly annihilated, while the Starforce also rushed directly into the Minghong Blade via Xiao Yifeng’s arm.
The Minghong Blade shook violently, releasing dense, savage and brutal energy, the odd patterns on the blade shimmering.
Xiao Yifeng could feel that the Starforce was contending with that savage and brutal power within the blade, as if both forces were looking to eliminate the other, yet neither could vanquish its opponent.
The Minghong Blade vibrated intensely, Xiao Yifeng’s hands gripping the hilt tightly, the Starforce from within him continuously flowed into the blade, attempting to suppress that savage, violent power which was also resisting fiercely.
At that moment, from Xiao Yifeng’s eyes, two streams of blood-colored light shot into the Minghong Blade. With a loud bang, the blade surged with a blood light, and the savage, violent power was immediately suppressed.
The Minghong Blade became silent, regaining its normal state, but Xiao Yifeng could sense that within the blade lay a power capable of destroying heaven and earth, a power that caused hearts to tremble.
And tonight’s battle seemed to have already begun releasing this power, making Xiao Yifeng realize that the Evil Blade Minghong was indeed extraordinary, and he had not completely mastered it yet.
Originally he thought he had taken control of the Evil Blade, but unexpectedly, it contained such immense power that once it erupted, it nearly controlled him.
Wielding the Crimson Earthfire, he burned the corpse of that fellow from Medicine King Valley, exhaling a heavy, turbid breath.
