The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

If Han Wenqing hadn't suddenly appeared and ruined Chaos's plans, Chaos would have already ended the battle.

However, Chaos wouldn't blame Han Wenqing, because Han Wenqing gave Chaos more than just that. Although Han Wenqing made the battle last so long, which made Chaos a little unhappy, Chaos still had to thank Han Wenqing. It was Han Wenqing who made Chaos rediscover the power of his physical body.

Yes, Chaos never once considered giving up his physical body; he was simply forced into the path of cultivating a soul body by his master.

"The intent of the fist—piercing the heart."

Chaos vanished from its spot, and Mo Qian, who was in the distance, also disappeared from its spot.

"Hmm? Something feels off."

Chaos thought it was his imagination, then looked up and saw Mo Qian's smile.

In Chaos's eyes, Mo Qian's smile at this moment was not much different from the smile of death. Chaos felt that he could not defeat Mo Qian even in his soul form, so how could he possibly fight against Chaos now that he was only in his physical form?

When Mo Qian was still in his soul form, only the He Sword could effectively kill Chaos. But now that Chaos only has his physical body, Mo Qian's various skills and techniques can be used on Chaos.

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

Mo Qian no longer hesitated and activated his Eighteen Sword Immortal Techniques, attacking Chaos with a flurry of attacks, as if he wanted to vent all the frustration he had felt from not being able to use these techniques before.

Even with its powerful adaptability, Chaos couldn't keep up with Mo Qian's rapid attacks. This is why Mo Qian was able to counter Chaos—because Mo Qian had so many techniques, all of which were extremely lethal to Chaos.

"How did you wake up? Wasn't your soul severely damaged by me?"

This was the question that Chaos was most curious about. He really didn't understand why Mo Qian woke up so suddenly without any warning. Chaos remembered that these people could not possibly have the means to heal the soul.

Chaos clearly remembered that his master had told him that soul techniques only appeared after the tenth level. Below the tenth level, he had only taught two people—no, it should be said that one person and one eagle.

But Chaos never expected that the eagle actually had some connection with Mo Qian. To call it a connection would be more like saying they were enemies. The eagle had always had some issues with Mo Qian, but it couldn't beat him, so it could only submit to Mo Qian's tyranny. There was nothing it could do about it. However, what the eagle hadn't realized was that it was actually enjoying it. It couldn't be said that Chaos forced it.

"Could it be that they have actually mastered the method of healing souls?"

Chaos began to make bold guesses, but these guesses were somewhat far-fetched. In fact, Mo Qian and the others did not have much knowledge about the soul. As for why Mo Qian woke up, it was not a big deal. Mo Qian's soul was extremely resilient, and Chaos's sneak attack did not actually hit the fatal spot of Mo Qian's soul because Mo Qian twisted his body.

Although it was an extremely slight twist, it was enough to avoid direct, fatal damage. All these factors combined, along with Mo Qian's soul self-healing ability, could only help Mo Qian recover faster, but they couldn't play a decisive role. The truly decisive role actually lay with Zhang Xinjie.

It was Zhang Xinjie who stimulated Mo Qian's soul healing ability, allowing Mo Qian to wake up quickly and unleash his strength in a short time, thus saving Han Wenqing in time.
Previously, Zhang Xinjie thought that what Yingque taught him was useless, because Zhang Xinjie felt that Mo Qian did not seem to have any obvious changes after being treated.

So after doing everything he could, Zhang Xinjie immediately joined the battle, believing that Mo Qian would not wake up.

But who knew, who could have imagined that Mo Qian would always wake up at the most crucial moment.

Waking up so quickly is certainly not without its drawbacks; on the contrary, the downsides are actually quite significant.

The soul's self-healing ability is just like that of cells; both are limited. Just as the number of times a cell can divide is limited, so too is the soul.

Fortunately, Lao Mo's soul is relatively resilient and resistant to damage; otherwise, his soul might already be showing signs of collapse. Even Chaos wouldn't dare to perform such an operation on its own soul, as the soul is ultimately fragile and its wounds are the most difficult to heal.

Mo Qian appears to be perfectly fine now, but has his soul truly healed itself completely? The answer is definitely no. How could it be so easily healed?
The wound to the soul is merely lurking within Mo Qian's body; it has not disappeared and will not disappear. If Mo Qian does not suffer any other soul damage in the future, then nothing will happen. However, if Mo Qian does suffer other soul damage in the future, then things will become somewhat different.

At that time, Mo Qian will likely unleash the combined effects of his current and new soul injuries, and that will be when he is truly in dire straits. As for now, Mo Qian is not yet at that point. Although he still has some unhealed soul injuries, he is already in a good position.

In his current state, Mo Qian could easily crush Chaos and even knock Chaos into the ground.

"Chaos is nothing but a toy."

Mo Qian thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of beating up Chaos, something that couldn't be achieved when Chaos was a soul.

"So your name is Chaos!"

Mo Qian struck Chaos with a sword, and this time Chaos dodged it—the first time he had ever dodged it. Chaos had taken all the damage from before, which resulted in him becoming a bloodied mess, with blood constantly flowing from his wounds.

This highlights the importance of having a good weapon. If Mo Qian had used the kind of mass-produced longsword that Huang Shaotian had, he might not have been able to break through Chaos's defenses. That's the difference between the two.

However, even with good equipment, Huang Shaotian still couldn't suppress Chaos. This wasn't just a difference between weapons; there were other differences as well, such as awareness and movement. Huang Shaotian couldn't use the Eighteen Sword Immortal Forms as skillfully as Mo Qian, since it was a top-tier technique created by Mo Qian.

Other swordsmen all know a little bit about it, because this skill is almost becoming an essential skill for swordsmen. (End of Chapter)
