The virtual shadow of a sword was so fragile that it couldn’t hold any sword qi to display sword skills. However, if it was used for sneak attacks like earlier, the technique of bursting the sword into shadows was absolutely impossible to avoid!
Shadow Carrier Sword. With this sword, Yun Kuang killed thirteen Early and Intermediate Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. There was even one Late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who was severely injured under his technique!
His wild attitude was actually a facade for his enemies to lower their guards. However, all of them never thought that the seemingly arrogant Yun Kuang had crafty thoughts to sneak attack and assassinate them!
When he saw that the secret of his Shadow Carrier Sword was exposed under the watchful eyes of the other cultivators, his face became even grimmer. However, when he thought that Ning Fan would certainly die after the sword shadow entered into his body, he wasn’t as concerned about revealing his secret anymore.
But an unexpected scenario came into his gaze the next second!
In his eyes, Ning Fan’s long hair danced in the air and his eyes turned serious. Black demonic marks gradually surfaced on the left part of his face. His aura experienced a great change and became icy cold, as if he was a different person now!
All of a sudden, his body disintegrated into pieces, just like how the sword broke into pieces and turned into shadows!
Every part of him formed into strands of dark sword sense. After moving half a zhang horizontally, the dark sword sense condensed into a new body!
That sword shadow was expelled from his body!
"Shadow Carrier Sword. It was indeed a good sword... This sword belongs to me now!"
His hand directly grasped on the sword without avoiding the cutting edge!
At this very moment, Ning Fan seemed as though he was a master of swords. The Shadow Carrier Sword seemed to be trembling in fear.
Ning Fan seized the sword once more and this time, Ning Fan merged his sword sense into the sword. Yun Kuang’s spirit sense imprint was erased and Ning Fan planted a new one on it!
Ning Fan was the new owner of the sword!
Aside from that, he was obviously the winner of this fight!
*Cough*
After Yun Kuang’s spirit sense imprint was cleared, a sharp pain could be felt in his mind, causing him to cough out a mouthful of fresh blood. Although he was only wounded lightly, astonishment radiated from his gaze for the first time in his life.
Sword Carrier Sword was considered as rare as one in a thousand as it possessed the ability to break into shadows. However, it was completely beyond his anticipation that Ning Fan’s body could also disintegrate and condensed into a new body! (That was the power of Ning Fan’s Black Tempest Rupture Art. He didn’t know about it)
What’s even more unimaginable was that Ning Fan dared to rob his sword sword in front of everyone!
It’s fine that he defeated Yun Kuang! But how dare he seize the sword before everyone’s eyes?! His actions was the same as giving a slap on Rain Palace’s face! How dare he do that?!
Before Yun Kuang was truly enraged by his action, a number of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the Rain Palace stepped out and said solemnly,
"Zhou Ming! You are the one qualified to be the Seventh Commander of Great Jin as you won against Yun Kuang. But you crossed the line when you seized the sword from him! It showed that you simply don’t respect the Rain Palace!"
Those who reprimanded Ning Fan were the small group of cultivators who did not have any idea of Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou. Yun Lie didn’t move, Yun Ruowei didn’t move and even Revered Snow didn’t move. Those who heard of Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou like Song Yi remained at their position as well!
To seize a treasure in public was in fact crossing the line. Shadow Carrier Sword was a Supreme Grade magical treasure after all. It could break into shadows and it had powerful assassinating techniques. Such magical treasure should belong to the Rain Palace. How could it be owned by Ning Fan?
Despite knowing that fact, none of them spoke a word. Some of them were struck by fear while some were having complex thoughts such as Yun Ruowei...
Upon hearing the scoldings, Ning Fan let out a petty smile and deliberately acted as if he was shocked.
"Did I just seize a sword?"
"Hmmph! You openly erased Divine Messenger Yun Kuang’s imprint on the flying sword. Isn’t this called an act of seizing?" An old expert unfairly said.
"No, you’re wrong. This is a gift from Yun Kuang. He said ’accept my single sword’ earlier. I just did as what he said. That’s it..."
"You just distort the facts and talk deceptively! He was asking you to accept his attack! Don’t you have any sense of logic?!"
"Oh, I see. So I can’t ’accept’ his sword? I didn’t know about that... Let’s do it this way. Divine Messenger Yun Kuang, if you dare to ’accept my sword’, I would return this sword to you! The thing is, are you brave enough?!"
Are you brave enough?!
Ning Fan’s expression turned icy cold. He slapped his storage pouch and took out an exquisite sword sheath.
Dugu’s Nascent Soul Realm sword qi swas concealed within the sheath... Heart Drawing Sword!
Ning Fan had yet to learn essence of the sword qi. Even if he fully comprehended it, he wouldn’t be able to use it.
The sheath in his hand and the cold stare he shot at Yun Kuang made the latter quiver in terror!
Are you brave enough?! It was what he asked Ning Fan earlier before the fight. Now, Ning Fan asked him the same question without using the ability of reverberation in his voice. He just asked once but Yun Kuang was already hesitating!
He knew clearly that if he took on the Shadow Carrier Sword he would undoubtedly be wounded by it! It was because he had used the sword to cut down countless enemies so he’s the one who understood best how hard it is to defend against the sword... He wouldn’t be able to avoid the sword shadow that would enter his body as he didn’t possess the strange ability that Ning Fan used earlier which allowed him to transform into shadows.
Moreover, when Ning Fan took out the delicate sheath, Yun Kuang’s heart thumped violently!
It was as if his Dao Heart was being slashed by sword qi...
The pain was excruciating!
An irresistable sword qi is concealed inside the sheath! I can’t block it!
He stared at Ning Fan with hatred emanating from his eyes. Although he despised Ning Fan, he didn’t dare to face the sword like how Ning Fan had earlier.
He hid all his gloominess and turned emotionless. There wasn’t a hint of happiness or anger on his face. He then cupped his fists towards Ning Fan and let out a cold snort before leaving.
He didn’t dare to accept Ning Fan’s sword!
Yun Kuang who was famous for his haughtiness submitted for the first time.
In his heart, his enmity towards Ning Fan had gone to a point where it can no longer go higher.
"You wait and watch!" That was his words to Ning Fan as he left.
What Yun Kuang didn’t know was that even if Ning Fan obtained the Shadow Carrier Sword, he was still unable to access the full power of the sword like the power to turn the sword into shadows. It was because his real magic power was only at Half-Step Gold Core Realm. There’s no way he would be able to completely control a Supreme Grade magical treasure in that state. Otherwise, why didn’t he use the Five Elemental Swords or the Eastern Ocean Bell?
Although the sword qi of the Heart Drawing Sword was indeed powerful, he didn’t know that it was impossible for Ning Fan to control it, unless Ning Fan achieves Nascent Formation!
