Chapter 2033 - 2034: Taming the Spirit-Slaying Blade
"No! I must kill you! Only by killing you, Uncle Guang can be saved!" Su Miaomiao was ungrateful and continued to swing her blade at Lin Chen, who was merely dodging.Lin Chen clearly noticed that the opponent's speed had become very slow, and there seemed to be some signs of erosion at the base of her thumb, indicating that she might have truly been backlashed by the demon sword.
If someone really gets backlashed by the demon sword, at best they might lose a part of their body, at worst they could lose their power or even their life. Neither outcome was something Lin Chen wanted to see.
"Silly girl, let me help you!"
Lin Chen quickly moved to Su Miaomiao's side, directly restrained her, and then snatched the Demon Sword from her hand.
At that moment, Lin Chen and Su Miaomiao's bodies had a close contact, and they both felt an electric sensation, albeit brief, yet wonderfully amazing for both of them.
"You...why...?"
Su Miaomiao had already been drained of too much spiritual power by the Demon Sword, and the moment it left her hand, she almost collapsed, nearly falling to the ground.
Fortunately, Lin Chen reacted quickly and caught her, setting her down to rest.
"Damn! This thing really does have a fiery temper!" Lin Chen noticed his spiritual power rapidly being consumed by the Demon Sword, and couldn't help but utter a remark.
Luckily, his own spiritual power was very abundant, making it impossible to deplete, and since his Dantian, Little Lotus, was also a power-devouring maniac, it was naturally displeased when encountering the spirit within the Demon Sword.
"Fool! Come out! Hurry up and meet your ancestral grandmaster!" Little Lotus scolded.
Lin Chen was also a bit bewildered when he heard this.
"What? Ancestral grandmaster? What is this about?" Lin Chen asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I'm just disciplining the descendant of my descendant's descendant...descendant!" Little Lotus said, listing dozens of descendants, indicating that the spirit within the Demon Sword was indeed her junior.
At this, Lin Chen observed a wisp of white smoke emerging from the Demon Sword. The smoke circled around them before transforming into a humanoid shape, a young man with two horns on his head, resembling a little draconic man.
"Greetings, ancestral grandmaster!" The little draconic man immediately knelt on the ground.
"Uh...get up..." Lin Chen said helplessly.
"Ancestral grandmaster, please accept the bow of Hei Jiu!" The little draconic man continued to bow.
"Hei Jiu? You are..." Lin Chen continued to inquire.
"Reporting to the ancestral grandmaster, I am the 99th generation direct descendant of the Black Night Tribe, now residing in this Demon Sword, living off of absorbing others' spiritual power, almost losing myself. Thanks to the ancestral grandmaster's reminder, I have now awakened, please ancestral grandmaster, deliver your judgment!" Hei Jiu continued to kneel on the ground, not daring to move.
"Little...Little Lotus...what should we do about this?" Lin Chen was suddenly at a loss.
"You decide for yourself! This unfilial descendant of a descendant...sigh, I don't even have the face to say more to you, make your own decisions!" Little Lotus said helplessly.
From Little Lotus's tone, Lin Chen felt as though she wanted him to put an end to Hei Jiu's life.
However, after seeing Hei Jiu, Lin Chen felt that this little fellow was quite loyal, and not inherently bad. He was simply trying to survive by absorbing all kinds of spiritual power, which led to inner demons. Now that he could return to his true self, it was certainly acceptable.
"Little descendant, you must serve this master well in the future. He is the one who gave you your third life. Remember, your first life was given by your parents, your second life was granted by millions of spiritual powers, and your third life is given by this young man before you. He is the master of your ancestral grandmaster, if you harbor any disloyalty, I will personally end you!" Little Lotus continued speaking to Hei Jiu.
"Yes, ancestral grandmaster, Hei Jiu will remember."
The little draconic man stood up from the ground and said: "Master, should I re-embed myself into the Demon Sword, or become part of your spiritual power?"
"Since you've always been accustomed to residing in the Demon Sword, you should remain there, but in the future, you mustn't randomly absorb others' spiritual power. I will find more demonic beasts for you to devour their cores, which will also sustain and allow you to cultivate."
"Okay, Master."
Then, Hei Jiu transformed back into a wisp of white smoke and re-entered the Demon Sword.
This time, Lin Chen no longer felt the Demon Sword absorbing his power, on the contrary, it seemed easier to wield. With a simple swing, he felled a large tree in front of him!
"Here, little sister, take the Demon Sword, just don't use it for killing anymore." Lin Chen returned the Demon Sword to Su Miaomiao, but she refused to take it.
"No, you have subdued it, it rightfully belongs to you." Su Miaomiao declined.
"Then may I know your name?"
"Su Miaomiao."
"Su...Miaomiao...what a beautiful name!" Lin Chen continued to praise.
However, Su Miaomiao did not seem pleased at all, and directly raised her right palm, attempting to smash it onto her own head.
"Uncle Guang, I've wronged you, I can only repay you with my death!"
"Wait!"
Lin Chen quickly grabbed her hand, preventing her from continuing her attempt to end her life.
"Why are you doing this? If you have any troubles, tell me, I will help you solve them!" Lin Chen continued.
