Chapter 596 Chapter 596 – Encounter
The ancient sword slowly changed and became unique in the past three months. It was no longer the dilapidated look of the past but already had a trace of demeanor that a Heavenly Weapon should have. This also surprised Xiao Han, and he couldn’t help but guess the origin of the ancient sword.
As he anticipated, the ancient sword before him should be a Heavenly Weapon that had been sealed for a long time. It remained silent in this Sword Tomb until he found it and slowly recovered after killing the enemy. Based on his guess, the ancient sword was most likely not in its peak condition as it had not fully recovered.
When he continued to kill the enemy in the future,the ancient sword would recover further and would be even more powerful. Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and he stood up from where he was.
A long time had passed unknowingly. Xiao Han was not aware how much time he had spent meditating in the Sword Tomb but only knew that the originally bright sky had turned dark. From its looks, it seemed that night was about to arrive.
Xiao Han wanted to leave this place. However, his body stopped just as he was about to do so. Xiao Han’s strength had increased once again after absorbing the blood aura from the many corpses using the Ancient Sword. Now, he had reached the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Stage.
This cultivation level was the same as Liu Xiong’s at the time. He was one of the best among the ordinary disciples of the Qiong Hua Sword Sect and had a high chance of advancing to Foundation Establishment and the Inner Sect in the future. That was why he was able to sense things that he hadn’t been able to sense before.
Xiao Han could sense a vague aura emerging in the area. It was as if someone had been watching him in the darkness for a long time. This discovery made his body freeze, and his heart chilled.
“What’s going on?” Xiao Han’s heart was somewhat bitter, as he had already realized something
It was very likely that someone had already discovered him. There might already be someone in the area he had chosen. Probably that person’s cultivation was much higher than his, so hedid not feel anything at all before this.
It wasn’t until now that he finally felt a slight induction after his cultivation had increased once again with the help of the ancient sword, and his senses had expanded again. It was supposedly a good thing that his cultivation and his induction ability had increased.
However, at this moment, Xiao Han would rather his sensing ability hadn’t increased at all. Because without an increase, he wouldn’t be able to sense the pressure in the surroundings and could just leave directly without facing this awkward situation. But now, as much as he wanted to leave as if nothing had happened, he couldn’t.
The other party was not a fool. His hesitation and shock just now were so apparent that the other party had probably noticed him. If he wanted to leave as if nothing had happened, the other party would have to be willing to let him go.
‘What should I do?’ Cold sweat had already formed on Xiao Han’s forehead, and he did not know what to do next.
Fortunately, a new situation had already occurred. Not far away, the sound of light footsteps could be heard in the surroundings, as if the existence hidden in the surroundings had finally appeared and come out from his hiding place. The sound was very soft that he would not have been able to hear it if it were not for the sharp senses of a cultivator.
However, even though the sound was soft, it pressured Xiao Han considerably. Subconsciously, Xiao Han clenched the ancient sword in his hand and was ready to attack at any time. He knew that if the person behind him could lurch for a long time, his cultivation must be far above him. However, he might have a chance to attack if the person was caught off guard with the ancient sword’s Heavenly Weapon Power.
Fortunately, the worst outcome did not happen.
“A disciple of the Qiong Hua Sword Sect?” A soft but cold voice sounded behind him, giving people a sense of pressure, making Xiao Han’s initially nervous mood instantly relaxed.
SSU
Xiao Han turned around, and he saw the person he had expected. A young girl in a green dress stood there quietly. She held a sword in her hand, and there were traces of blood on her body, unknown whether it was hers or someone else’s.
The aura emitted from her body gave him a sense of fear and made him feel a little depressed. It was powerful, far more substantial than anyone Xiao Han had met before. She was none other than the number one disciple of the Qiong Hua Sword Sect, the innate sword physique, Song Qingruo.
She stood opposite Xiao Han, looking at the clothes on Xiao Han’s body, and couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. “An outer sect disciple with a ninth level of the Qi Refinement Stage?” Song Qingruo looked at Xiao Han with a bit of surprise. The Qiong Hua Sword Sect was full of talented people. There were many disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage, not to mention those in the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Stage. However, disciples in the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Stage were the elites. Song Qingruo should have remembered them if they were in the Qiong Hua Sword Sect.
However, the Xiao Han gave her an extremely unfamiliar feeling, and she had no impression at all. She felt strange.
“Senior Sister Song.” Xiao Han’s heart relaxed looking at Song Qingruo, and he immediately bowed and said, “I was only able to break through after entering the Sword Tomb.”
“Is that so?” Song Qingruo nodded in response to Xiao Han’s words and did not delve further into this issue.
He was just a Qi Refinement cultivator. To her, he was just like an ant. Hence there was no need to delve too deeply into it. Her reaction made Xiao Han feel at ease. However, his heart began to race again as Song Qingruo focused on the ancient sword in his hand.
Instantly, Xiao Han’s heart skipped a beat, afraid that his opponent would see through him. To Xiao Han, the ancient sword was his greatest trump card and the most significant reliance for his future cultivation. He would not be able to stop her if she saw something in it and wanted to seize it. Although the power of the Heavenly Weapon was mighty, it still depended on who it was.
If it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Xiao Han could still rely on his current strength and was still confident of winning with the Heavenly Weapon in his hand. However, Song Qingruo was not a Foundation Establishment cultivator but a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
To her, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators were like ants, and she could kill a bunch of them at will. The corpses of those Foundation Establishment cultivators were most likely her masterpiece. If such a figure had any ill intentions toward Xiao Han and wanted to take the ancient sword, he wouldn’t be able to stop her.
Fortunately, the worst outcome didn’t happen, “This sword is magnificent…” Song Qingruo nodded as she looked at the ancient sword in Xiao Han’s hand and said, “It contains a sword’s intent and would be a magnificent magic weapon if it was used
well.”
Song Qingruo was an innate sword physique, so she had a great affinity with all kinds of weapons and could even sense the hidden power in the weapons to a certain extent. Therefore, she could feel that this ancient sword was extraordinary.
However, specifically, that’s all it is. The ancient sword transformed by Chen Heng was too high-level. Once it was hidden, Song Qingruo could not sense it clearly with her current strength and even with the help of her constitution, let alone know the true power hidden in it.
“Yes.” Xiao Han immediately heaved a sigh of relief and respectfully acknowledged hearing Song Qingruo’s words.
“Come with me.” Song Qingruo glanced casually at Xiao Han, looking purposeful. She walked forward and slowly arrived at the other side.
“Senior Song, where are we going?” Xiao Han could not help but ask, as he felt that something was wrong looking at Song Qingruo’s actions.
“Go kill someone.” Song Qingruo didn’t turn her head. Her faint voice sounded exceptionally cold but contained killing intent.
“I already knew the purpose of that group of people from the Netherworld Sect. It’s time to make a move.” She spoke softly and walked forward without turning her head.
Beside her, Xiao Han was perplexed, ‘The Netherworld Sect? Are those foreign cultivators members of the Netherworld Sect?’ Xiao Han thought as he followed beside Song Qingruo.
He came into contact with those foreign cultivators more than once during this period, but he wasn’t clear about their origins. From Song Qingruo’s words, it seemed that she had already understood the origins and purpose of those people. Xiao Han couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
The Netherworld Sect was prominent in the northern region. It was one of the most famous forces in the demon sect, inheriting the Netherworld Sutra from the ancient Netherworld demon. It was said to have a strong influence.
However, the northern region was far away from the southern region. How did these Netherworld Sect disciples come to this Sword Tomb?
‘Was there some other origin?’ Various thoughts flashed through Xiao Han’s mind, and he couldn’t help but feel puzzled. However, he silently followed Song Qingruo’s figure to the side and left with her. There was nothing he could do now, no matter what.
Anyhow, Song Qingruo was the number one disciple of the Qiong Hua Sword Sect. Logically, she wouldn’t do anything irrational. Her cultivation was undoubtedly mighty. Even now, she still looked magnificent, as if she hadn’t suffered many injuries. She had even killed many people.
Moreover, there seemed to be a lot of restrictions in this Sword Tomb. People above the Spirit Transformation Stage couldn’t enter this place. Even if there were, it was only a clone at most. And within the Spirit Transformation Stage, there shouldn’t be many people who could defeat Song Qingruo.
Xiao Han’s heart gradually calmed down thinking of this, and no longer worried.
