Chapter 988: Chapter 988: The Might of the Soul-Cleaving Blade

At this moment, Lin Chen cast a cold glance at Gong Siyuan, his understanding of the other’s thoughts crystal clear—for Lin Chen knew Gong Siyuan all too well.

If Lin Chen could lend a helping hand, he naturally would, for after all, Gong Siyuan was a member of the Divine Flame Alliance, and even if they could not be friends, at the very least he was the enemy of his enemy.

However, though Lin Chen intended to save Gong Siyuan, he would only do so within his capabilities.

If saving the other would endanger himself, Lin Chen would resolutely not take action.

At present, the stalemate between the two parties persisted, with Gong Siyuan’s arrival changing nothing.

In Lin Chen’s view, Gong Siyuan’s strength could hardly offer him much help.

In the eyes of Xue Qing, Li Chu, and Mu Qingxue, Gong Siyuan’s strength was also insufficient to pose a threat, hence they didn’t place much importance on him.

Now, both sides were trying to outlast each other, the standoff continuing.

The arm of Li Chu, which had been severed by Lin Chen, had already completely regenerated; while its recovery power was not on par with the Blood Transforming Bone Regeneration Pill, it was still astonishingly rapid, regrowing in such a short span of time was truly remarkable.

Xue Qing and Mu Qingxue were also in recovery.

Despite not having ingested any elixir, Lin Chen was discreetly circulating the Primordial Transformation Art to swiftly rejuvenate his internal Spiritual Power.

...

At this moment, in the Underground World of Grey Marsh Plain, Xiao Changkong extended his hand in a summoning motion; with a thought, the large blade embedded in the ground swiftly shrank, eventually becoming the right size for his human body to wield.

The dark Artifact Spirit residing within the Soul-Cleaving Blade had done so for a hundred thousand years. He was the Artifact Spirit of the Soul-Cleaving Blade and also its owner.

Thus, the Soul-Cleaving Blade easily responded to his command to alter its size, an effortless task for him.

At the same moment, the Dark Qilin stepped out of the Underground World with the Soul-Cleaving Blade, seeing sunlight once more after a hundred thousand years.

The Dark Qilin released his Divine Sense and immediately perceived five formidable presences within the plain.

Of course, this formidability was relative to his current human body.

The Dark Qilin sensed from these five bodies that four contained exceedingly surging energy, while one, albeit weaker, was still fairly decent for his current physical state.

Therefore, the first thing the Dark Qilin sought to do upon his return to the sunlight was naturally to feast to his heart’s content.

At this moment, these five individuals he sensed in the plains were an excellent choice for him.

Soon after, he expanded his Divine Sense again; the restrictions surrounding him were formed by the Law emanating from the Soul-Cleaving Blade, his vessel, and did not greatly constrain him.

As his Divine Sense spread out, he sensed the presence of not only Xue Qing and Lin Chen, but also every Martial Artist that had entered the Grey Marsh Plain.

Immediately after, Xiao Changkong leapt into the air, swiftly traversing the sky toward the direction where Lin Chen and Xue Qing were located.

Despite the Underground World’s exit being some distance away from Lin Chen and the others, such gaps posed no issue for the dark Artifact Spirit.

Before long, the Dark Qilin soared into the air, completely unaffected by the spatial restrictions in this domain.

From the exit of the Underground World to Lin Chen’s location, the Dark Qilin took less than the Duration of a Cup of Tea.

To know, it would take a standard Martial Artist a day and a night of flying to arrive at such a distance.

At this moment, Lin Chen and Xue Qing were still in a standoff; however, the next second, a figure suddenly descended upon the scene, its immense pressure felt even before it descended from the sky, deeply sensed by the crowd.

The five individuals stared at the newcomer, momentarily dumbstruck.

In theory, with such a formidable presence, even surpassing Half-step to Creation Realm, their hearts were filled with panic; their only thought was to flee.

However, the shadow moved so swiftly that before they could react, Xiao Changkong’s figure had already appeared before them.

They were initially puzzled as to who could unleash such a powerful aura.

But as the figure landed before them and they saw his face, they were shocked to the core because it was none other than Xiao Changkong.

"Brother Xiao, you’ve finally arrived. These people from Red Soul Hall are besieging us. Your timing is perfect; let’s join forces and break through their encirclement."

The Formation Sect and Bodhi Hall might not have been the closest allies, but after all, they were from the same alliance, so Gong Siyuan believed Xiao Changkong would side with them, united against the Demon Cultivators of Red Soul Hall.

Gong Siyuan had been under Xue Qing’s menacing watch just a while ago and was feeling quite alarmed. Seeing Xiao Changkong now was like finding a lifeline, so he moved closer proactively.

However, Gong Siyuan failed to perceive that the person before him was no longer the Xiao Changkong of the Bodhi Hall from before, but instead possessed by the Dark Qilin.

Yet, Lin Chen was aware that the person before him was definitely not the Xiao Changkong he knew.

After the Bodhi Hall submitted to the Formation Sect, Lin Chen had planted Divine Soul Seeds in many disciples of the Bodhi Hall, including one in Xiao Changkong.

However, as the powerful aura surged to the heavens, Lin Chen sensed that Xiao Changkong’s Divine Soul Seed had been overtaken by another Divine Soul.

So, as Xiao Changkong arrived, Lin Chen silently observed, confirming that the man before him was definitely not the one they knew.

At this moment, Lin Chen intended to warn Gong Siyuan that there was something wrong with the Xiao Changkong before them.

However, before Lin Chen could speak, Xiao Changkong’s gaze eerily landed on Gong Siyuan. Next, a large blade appeared in his hand, and he immediately swung it at Gong Siyuan.

Slicing noise—

The large blade in Xiao Changkong’s hands seemed to contain some kind of terrifying power.

In an instant, Gong Siyuan’s body was reduced to dust under Xiao Changkong’s blade, his physical body and Divine Soul both drained of power by the blade.

Witnessing this scene, Lin Chen and the others were filled with immense horror.
