Chapter 843: Fascinated

Ling Chuxi stood up with great difficulty, calming the churning blood in her chest. She watched the fight between the sword heart and the sword spirit, her heart pounding in terror. A duel between the strong was really thrilling!

The sword heart exchanged blows with the sword spirit, his mind racing. The sword spirit was so powerful! Was it because of the integration of the sword soul and sword essence?

Of course, the sword heart didn’t know that the sword spirit had absorbed the spiritual Qi of a thousand pieces of Ink Jade Crystals. Although crystal stones and crystal hearts weren’t the same, the Ink Jade Crystals were the best crystal stones after all. The spiritual Qi inside an Ink Jade Crystal was far more abundant compared to an ordinary crystal stone, so the sword spirit was by no means inferior to the sword heart.

The sword heart scowled and swung his sword viciously.

Clang!

The sword spirit slashed his sword towards the sword heart’s chest, but his move was blocked by the sword heart. The sound of metal clashing rang out loudly.

A strong qi flow surged outwards from their swords, and each of them took a step back. It was obvious that their strength was very similar.

Ling Chuxi, however, was so shaken by the qi flow that she had to take several steps back to stabilize herself. She sighed deeply. Cang Yuan’s remnants were indeed extraordinary. It was only the spiritual body of a remnant of the sword, and yet it was so powerful. She really could not imagine how strong the Cang Yuan Sword Master must have been back then!

Ling Chuxi watched, fascinated, as the two figures exchanged blows fiercely. In the palace of ice and jade, wind and clouds surged violently, and muffled thuds and rumbling could be heard. Fortunately, this was all happening within the Four Wonder Array. If it was outside, the ancient buildings of the Golden Pill Sect would have surely been turned into ruins from their battle. Even so, Ling Chuxi still felt that the Qi in the array was chaotic and extremely unstable.

Both of them were using Cang Yuan Seven Sword styles, but one was direct and upright, while the other was agile and graceful. Both gave off totally different feelings, and Ling Chuxi took this opportunity to observe and learn from them.

Gradually, Ling Chuxi felt that something was wrong. Although the sword spirit had absorbed Ink Jade Crystals and his spiritual power was on par with the sword heart’s, his consumption of spiritual power was getting greater, and he was becoming weaker.

The sword heart had the White Jade Crystal heart, so he was constantly being replenished with spiritual energy. Although the spiritual energy was not that abundant, it provided an advantage in the long run. This was the value of the crystal heart; even if its constant replenishing of spiritual energy was weak, the benefits towards the user’s cultivation were clear. In a neck-to-neck fight, it was the key to victory or defeat.

If things went on like this, the sword spirit would lose, and Ling Chuxi didn’t want to see such an ending! However, when the strong faced off, no one else could intervene. Otherwise, they might get injured, and so might the person they were trying to help. Ling Chuxi started to break out in a cold sweat.

What was she to do?

“Sword spirit, is that all you got?” The sword heart sneered and slashed out his sword.

The sword spirit waved his sword to block the attack, and the two swords collided. Suddenly, a blinding light flashed from the sword heart’s sword tip, and a powerful force gushed out. The sword spirit gritted his teeth, forced to retreat a few steps.

“I was going to let you leave peacefully, but since you’re this ungrateful, don’t blame me for not playing nice.” The sword heart’s eyes blazed with a murderous intent, and he swung his sword at the sword spirit, each move faster and stronger than the previous one.

Was this the actual strength of the sword heart? Ling Chuxi was shocked. So it had only been using a fraction of its strength when it fought against her earlier!
