In the dark passage, the sound of swords whistling continuously approached Wang Yufan.

The white light around Wang Yufan slowly transformed into a shield, protecting him. Wang Yufan’s steps did not stop; he advanced step by step.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The sword array’s attack, upon hitting Wang Yufan’s protective light shield, instantly vanished.

The further Wang Yufan walked, the more powerful the sword intent in the darkness became, and the immense force directly destabilized this entire space. However, for Wang Yufan, such power might have posed a slight challenge to his former self, but now it was far from enough.

Wang Yufan’s eyes pierced through the darkness, seeing a three-foot-long sword ahead. Its entire blade was white, and the hilt was engraved with the characters "Senior Brother Feng Ling."

"So this sword is called Senior Brother Feng Ling. It seems this so-called sword array must have been unleashed by this very sword. This sword looks extraordinary," Wang Yufan muttered as he walked towards it.

And that sword, as if conscious, intensified its attacks, emitting an offensive power even stronger than that of a Divine Emperor.

Wang Yufan watched, already feeling an impulse to pull out this sword. He could tell that this sword was absolutely extraordinary. Just its power was something Wang Yufan had never encountered before. A sword capable of emitting power beyond that of a Divine Emperor, then its inherent strength, with external force applied, could potentially be even greater.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword Wang Yufan had given Xu Changqing before was of the True Immortal grade. He certainly possessed more powerful treasures, but as for swords, the highest-grade one he still had was named Flowing Shadow, a Divine Venerable grade. However, he didn’t have any of the Divine Emperor or higher grade.

Wang Yufan smiled slightly at this thought.

When he was one step away from the Feng Ling Sword, Wang Yufan reached out and directly grabbed the sword. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The moment he touched it, Wang Yufan felt a bone-chilling sensation directly enter his body, which surprised him. For his current realm, to still feel bone-chilling cold was astonishing.

"This truly is a fine sword. It has definitely reached the Life and Death Realm level, but there’s a chip on this sword. It must be a broken sword," Wang Yufan murmured.

However, just as Wang Yufan spoke, a discordant voice emerged from within the sword.

"You’re the broken sword! Your whole family are broken swords! Let go of me, or you’re dead, kid!"

Wang Yufan paused, then said,

"This is a broken sword with sentience, huh? Not bad, not bad. Even as a broken sword, it has developed sentience. One can imagine how extraordinary this sword is."

Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, the sword spirit within the Feng Ling Sword immediately cursed, "You damned human! How dare you think of possessing me! My master will make you pay when he comes! If you know what’s good for you, let me go now."

Listening to the sword spirit continuously cursing him, Wang Yufan also curiously examined it, his eyes flashing with golden light, directly piercing through the Feng Ling Sword.

In Wang Yufan’s eyes, a small figure emitting golden light stood within the Feng Ling Sword’s internal space, speaking some ’civilized’ language towards him.

"Little fellow, it’s not good to talk like that. Didn’t your master tell you not to use foul language? If you keep talking like that, I’ll have to give you a little’sweet treat,’" Wang Yufan said with a smile, then flicked out a ball of flame from his right hand.

The sword spirit saw the flame emerge from Wang Yufan’s hand and said disdainfully, "Kid, are you trying to make this lord laugh to death? You want to threaten me with a small flame? Do you know that what this lord fears least is fire? Although this lord’s attribute counters fire, you just casually pull out a flame and think you can threaten me? I can only say you’re too naive."

Hearing the sword spirit’s mockery, Wang Yufan remained unmoved, smiling as he said, "Oh, really? Then don’t scream later, okay?" After speaking, Wang Yufan directly moved the flame in his hand closer to the Feng Ling Sword.

The Feng Ling Sword, which had been smugly held in Wang Yufan’s hand, immediately changed its tone the moment it came into contact with the flame.

"Holy crap! Get that flame away from me, damn it! This isn’t ordinary fire, this is Samadhi True Fire!" the sword spirit exclaimed.

At this moment, the Feng Ling Sword, held in Wang Yufan’s left hand, began to tremble.

"Stop! Stop it! If you don’t stop, damn it, this lord has a temper too!" the sword spirit said to Wang Yufan, seeing that Wang Yufan showed no sign of letting go.

Wang Yufan instantly felt an extreme cold surge towards his right hand. The small amount of Samadhi True Fire Wang Yufan had condensed gradually began to extinguish under the erosion of this icy power.

Seeing this, Wang Yufan instantly increased the Samadhi True Fire in his hand. The sword spirit, seeing this, also intensified the cold power it emitted.

"Ah, kid! Quickly withdraw that flame! This lord can’t take it anymore!" the sword spirit continuously pleaded with Wang Yufan.

"Oh? I can, but your tone doesn’t sound like it. Besides, you haven’t told me what I want to know yet," Wang Yufan said with a smile.

"You want this lord... I’ll tell you anything! I’ll tell you everything I know, just quickly withdraw this divine fire!" the sword spirit said.

Listening to the sword spirit’s tone soften, Wang Yufan slightly weakened the power of the Samadhi True Fire in his hand.

"Well, until I get the answer I want, this little fire can’t be withdrawn. Now, I ask you, Ni, why are you here? And who is your master?" Wang Yufan asked.

Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, the sword spirit began to stammer. Wang Yufan saw this, increased the Samadhi True Fire a bit, and the sword spirit immediately became obedient, then said, "Uh... the flame in your hand, lighten up, it hurts."

Hearing the sword spirit’s words, Wang Yufan felt a stampede of alpacas in his mind, always feeling this sword spirit was a bit ’off’.

"Speak quickly, or I won’t be able to control it!" Wang Yufan said.

Hearing Wang Yufan say this, the sword spirit immediately spoke:

"Your first question, I truly don’t know how I came here, because I was always in a state of slumber before. A few times ago, someone woke me up.

As for who my master is, that would be the most beautiful fairy in the universe! You don’t know, my master is the dream lover of countless people. Holding me in her hand, how many enemies drank blood beneath me? It’s truly as lonely as snow."
