Chapter 152: Chapter 119: The Treasure Night Blade! Letter from Li Shen Sect!_2

The Blood Evil Divine Saber was evidently an extraordinary Sword Skill, capable of allowing a Martial Artist of the Refining Essence Realm, when fully mastered, to slay Evil Spirits, and even powerful enough to kill demonic spirits!

Yet such a Sword Skill was not promoted among the Human Clan, nor was it passed on to every Refining Essence Realm Martial Artist in various places.

"Perhaps for a prodigy like you, practicing the Blood Evil Divine Saber is not a difficult task, but in reality... to cultivate the Blood Evil Divine Saber to a mature stage is by no means easy," he lamented.

The old man said, "Normally, those below the Refining Essence Realm cannot succeed... Normally, it takes a Martial Artist in the Refining Essence Realm a long time–as many as ten to twenty years, or as few as a year and a half–to achieve such a state."

"More importantly, you need to nurture the saber with your own essence blood."

"Each time a Refining Essence Realm Martial Artist uses their essence blood, it’s tantamount to self-destructing the foundation."

"The more frequently it’s done, the less sufficient the replenishment gets; this makes the path of martial arts increasingly difficult in the future, maybe even rendering further progress impossible."

"And for aged Martial Artists of the Refining Essence Realm, who are already lacking in Qi-Blood, it would make them even weaker, and might even shorten their lifespan."

"However, that’s still not the biggest issue."

Looking at Lin Yan, he continued, "The most crucial point is that every time you slay an Evil Spirit or wicked entity, the blood light that returns when nurturing the saber inevitably carries with it the aura of evil!"

"The more you kill, the heavier the aura of evil becomes, eventually affecting yourself, and thus... leading to demonic possession!"

"Especially the older generation of Martial Artists, who practice ancient methods with inherent risks, are even more susceptible to such influences."

"I heard that a couple of days ago, you encountered a ’garrison commander’ who became demonically possessed; he had cultivated the Blood Evil Divine Saber himself."

"It seems that people from the Tribulation Ash use such methods to trigger their hidden risks prematurely."

"The Blood Evil Divine Saber itself has inherent risks, and for those of the Tribulation Ash, it presents a great vulnerability!"

"There are many Magic Methods within the Human Clan that cannot be widely disseminated, precisely because those of the Tribulation Ash have ways to counter them!

The old man gently stroked his beard, saying, "And today, I present you with this item, which can ward off the hidden dangers of the Blood Evil Divine Saber."

As his voice fell, he gestured with his hand.

Suddenly, the molten metal on the ground transformed into a thin stream, rising to the palm of his hand.

Flames burst forth from the palms of the old man’s hands.

The flames made the molten metal continuously boil.

"The thing you just cut was my treasured possession, called ’Meteor Metal,’ extremely rare in the world, originating from a Forbidden Land," he explained.

The old man said, "With this item, you can eliminate the hidden dangers of the Blood Evil Divine Saber, only... this material is extremely scarce; in Qifeng Prefecture, it has only appeared twice in three hundred years."

As his voice continued, the flames kept burning, and the molten metal gradually reshaped into its original long saber form.

"Bring blood!"

"..."

Lin Yan cut his palm and waved his hand.

Fresh blood, fine as threads, poured over the embryonic form of the long saber.

"With essence blood merged into it, endowed with the effects of Meteor Metal, this saber has transcended the category of ordinary weapons and can truly be regarded as a ’treasured weapon’ of this world," he said.

The flames in the old man’s hands suddenly withdrew as he gestured.

The saber swiftly moved toward Lin Yan.

Catching it, Lin Yan felt the treasured saber intensely hot, blood light reflecting, filling the room with a cold brilliance.

"Though the basic material of this saber is ordinary iron, it has now become a treasured blade, and as you continue to nurture it with your essence blood over time... it will gradually become even more unique," the old man mentioned with a complex look and a trace of emotion.

Lin Yan couldn’t help but express his surprise, "Does this saber already possess the potential to grow?"

"Meteor Metal from Qifeng Prefecture, a rarity seen only once a century, is of course extraordinary; you will understand its miraculous effects in the future," he stated lightly, "Scrap metal can be broken and corroded! To become the sword hanging over High Willow City, it cannot be a mere mundane object!"

As his voice fell, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

"May I ask for your honorable name, senior?"

"A dead man."

"..."

"I am long dead; merely hoping that this current walking corpse can truly die thoroughly," he said without turning back, waving his hand, "An old decaying dead man won’t last long in this world; we have no connections, so there’s no need to get to know each other."

Watching the old man’s figure slowly fade away.

Lin Yan performed a respectful bow, his expression solemn as he gazed at the saber in his hand.

"Have you thought of a name for this saber?" came the Commander’s voice from the side.

"..."

Lin Yan fell silent for a moment before speaking, "In today’s era, dark nights descend, evil spirits rampage, and endless evil haunts; the hearts of people are unsettled, leading to the collapse of order..."

He stroked his sword and said in a deep voice, "This sword of mine, slaying demons and eradicating evil, where its edge passes, night shall turn into day!"

Sword Name: Night Illuminator!

——

That night, Lin Yan didn’t sleep, caressing his long sword and gradually began to practice.

The next morning, he mounted his horse and rode straight out of the inner city, heading for the Outer South Bureau.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Outer South Bureau, he saw Xu Qing rushing over, looking anxious.

"The Qifeng Prefecture’s Left Garrison Commander has brought a personal letter from Li Shen Sect; he has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Oh?"

Lin Yan’s eyebrows raised as he suddenly saw an object flying towards him at high speed, aiming straight for his face.

The momentum was fierce, and the force was tremendous!

He suddenly reached out and grabbed the object.

It turned out to be a letter.

Yet the invisible Qi Mechanism from the letter suddenly transmitted, seeping into his body from his hand, aggressive and wild.

This sensation was not unfamiliar to Lin Yan.

Yuan Tongye had once left a trace of True Qi in his body in the past.

However, that trace of True Qi was extremely subtle, and it had only been detectable after he got Mr. Lu’s Spirit Talisman.

But this True Qi was extremely aggressive, intent on forcibly invading his body and dissolving his essence.

Divine Skills! Demon Suppression!

Lin Yan, having experienced this before, immediately used his Divine Skills, but found that the True Qi was not dispersed by him!

Boom!

Lin Yan mobilized all his essence and blood just before the True Qi could enter his body and fiercely counterattacked, finally extinguishing it!

But at that moment, Lin Yan’s face shifted between pale and flush; his forehead was crowded with sweat beads, clearly having exerted a great deal from this bout of True Qi.

"Is the True Qi cultivated by Li Shen Sect so different from Yuan Tongye’s?"

Lin Yan was shocked in his heart, thinking, "His True Qi, so aggressive, yet not falling into the category of evil energy!"

At that moment, laughter was heard from within.

General Fu Jiu spoke slowly, "Being able to withstand a blast of True Qi from the Great General and barely managing to receive it shows that your foundation is not weak."

He pointed at the letter in Lin Yan’s hand and continued, "This general is merely the messenger; I will return to Qifeng Prefecture City today! As for your opponent... he will leave his retreat in seven days, and he will hurry to High Willow City immediately, and approximately ten days later, he will come to meet you."

Lin Yan opened the letter and saw that the text within was written with vigor and strength, powerful and compelling.

A sense of grandeur emanated from it.

——

I’ve heard recently that my old friend, Han Zheng, has found a remarkable talent, unsurpassed in High Willow, regarded as a hopeful successor, and has been earnestly nurtured.

So far, I have taken six disciples; the youngest, Xu Dingye, now 27, has exceptional talent and excellent aptitude.

Old grievances have persisted to this day; my stance has evolved beyond suppressing Han Zheng.

However, the hopes of an old friend, if not extinguished in their infancy, there could hardly be any satisfaction.

After ten days, my disciple will travel to High Willow City to destroy what remains of Han Zheng’s hopes!

Informing you in advance so you may prepare to lose convincingly.

Thus avoiding, later on, remarks that my disciple came prepared and that his victory was unearned!

—Li Shen Sect!

"Too insolent!"

Lin Yan’s expression was unreadable as he coldly said, "Does Li Shen Sect really believe his disciple can certainly defeat me?"

"Master Xu is the most talented of the current younger generation in Qifeng Prefecture City," General Fu Jiu stated calmly. "If you can defeat him, then you will be the foremost among your contemporaries within Qifeng Prefecture!"

He walked forward, mounted his horse, and said indifferently, "You are not old and have already entered the Refining Essence Realm, indeed a top prodigy in Qifeng Prefecture City, but compared to Master Xu... train for another ten years!"
