The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

The guardian sensed the changes in his injuries compared to before; his defenses had improved significantly.
However, faced with Mo Qian's ultimate technique, he still knelt down.

"Hmm? Something's not right. Why can't I sense the guardian's life force anymore? But that attack just now..."

Chaos looked at Mo Qian's sword with lingering fear; the oath of light and darkness was frightening to behold.

It's fortunate that Mo Qian used the power of his ultimate technique just now, especially since it was his first time using it. He didn't control the power well, and the result was that he almost killed the guardian.

Mo Qian's reasoning was:

"When acting, of course you have to act realistically, right?"

The guardian's injuries were not fake; he was truly on the verge of being killed by Mo Qian's ultimate sword technique.

"Perhaps, maybe, just maybe, the guardian was really killed by Mo Qian's sword."

It's understandable that Chaos would think that way, because Mo Qian's sword strike just now was truly ruthless.

It was hard for the guardian to believe that Mo Qian was putting on an act with him. The guardian suspected, no, it wasn't even a suspicion, the guardian genuinely felt that Mo Qian was using him to vent his anger.

"Cough cough!"

The guardian, trembling slightly, crawled out of the pit. Just imagine how far he flew. The guardian really wanted to curse Mo Qian, "You bastard, you really don't treat me like a human being!"

"Hurry up, I don't think Chaos will give up."

The guardian rushed out. Knowing how cautious Chaos was, even though Mo Qian had said he would help the guardian stall Chaos, it would still take time.

"Time is life, isn't it?"

Chaos smiled as he looked at the person in front of him.
Mo Qian held the mutated eagle king's head and stared directly into the chaos.

"It's you?"

Mo Qian stated these words in a declarative tone.

"Yes, that's me."

Chaos was still smiling; he was unperturbed because this wasn't his true form.

"I think this isn't your real form."

Upon hearing Mo Qian's words, Chaos realized for the first time that he might actually be in some danger.

"You, how do you know?"

As for why Mo Qian knew that Chaos was not the real body, he had just extracted more than a little information about Chaos from the guardian. To put it bluntly, Chaos now had basically all of its abilities in front of Mo Qian.

However, there was one thing Mo Qian was not sure about: he had not yet found a way to counter Chaos's abilities. After all, this was the first time Mo Qian had seen such abilities. Souls were inherently difficult to grasp, but Chaos could do more than just grasp souls.

Moreover, he can attack souls. Although the guardian told Mo Qian:
People with strong willpower or strong souls are less affected by soul attacks, and Mo Qian's soul is extremely powerful, as is his willpower.

These two points alone are enough to make Chaos wary. Attacking Mo Qian's soul might backfire, since his soul is inferior to Mo Qian's.

"Damn it, after devouring so many souls, why is my soul still afraid of this kid's soul? This kid's soul has already been mixed with a trace of sword intent. How did he do that?"

Mo Qian's soul now is more of a sword soul than a human soul, a soul with sword intent. Such a soul belongs to the most powerful group of souls, but it is also the soul that attracts the most to Chaos.

"If I could devour this kid's soul, wouldn't my strength increase to an even more terrifying level?"

Therefore, Chaos's feelings towards Mo Qian are quite complex. Chaos's strength is not commensurate with his ambition; he wants to win over Mo Qian but lacks the power to match his ambition. "Hmm?"

Mo Qian seemed to sense something and looked at the other side of the Chaos's soul consciousness.

"Is it here?"

Mo Qian unleashed a sword aura, a method of using sword aura that Mo Qian had figured out on his own. However, it only had a medium-range attack range and caused very little damage, so Mo Qian rarely used it.

"Boom!"

The spot where Mo Qian made his cut suddenly collapsed, revealing a cave.

"!!!"

For the first time, Chaos felt panicked.

Mo Qian knew that what was in front of him was not the true form of Chaos, but merely one of its soul consciousnesses. Even if Mo Qian killed this consciousness, it would be useless.

Therefore, Mo Qian kept his senses open to see if the real Chaos had come over.

As a result, Chaos's greed for Mo Qian's soul caused him to reveal a flaw.

Chaos originally thought that Mo Qian was right in front of his consciousness and wouldn't notice the slightest flaw he revealed.

But who knew Mo Qian would be so cautious, still keeping his senses active at this moment? Just how afraid are you of being ambushed?

As Mo Qian smiled and looked at the cave, preparing to enter, the chaotic consciousness finally couldn't hold back any longer. Of course, if he didn't stop Mo Qian, Mo Qian would really sneak into his lair in a moment.

"Self-destruct!"

Chaos directly controlled this consciousness to rush towards Mo Qian and self-destruct. The self-destruction of a soul is more terrifying than a physical explosion; this is no joke.

"Wait! This power! We can't withstand it head-on!"

Mo Qian instantly wrapped himself in the golden jade robe, activated the black flash mode again, rushed to Su Mucheng and Chu Yunxiu's side, grabbed one of them with each arm, and rushed out.

“Art is an explosion!”

The explosion of the spirit body almost leveled the area.

At this moment, Mo Qian was a little angry because the guardian had not told him about the explosion of his consciousness.

"Are you trying to make me die here too? That way no one will come looking for you, right, you vigil keeper?"

Mo Qian, carrying his sword, helped Su Mucheng and Chu Yunxiu up. Mo Qian couldn't go looking for the guardian spirit yet; he needed to get Su Mucheng and Chu Yunxiu to a safe place first.

"On the fifth floor, where exactly is it safe?"

Mo Qian and the other two continued on their way, searching for teammates.

On Yu Wenzhou's side, they finally managed to kill the Lava Beast, but both Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian were exhausted and still resting. Only Zhou Zekai would go out to take a look and leave some markings that only professional players could understand.

"Is this hell? But why is Captain Yu here too? Did Captain Yu and I fail to escape the lava behemoth's pursuit?"

Huang Shaotian woke up groggily, thinking he was in the afterlife, but then he saw Captain Yu beside him. Huang Shaotian's first thought was that he and Yu Wenzhou were both dead. (End of Chapter)
