The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

It's because Chaos spent too much energy and time trying to break free from Qiongqi's control that Chaos's strength isn't as great, and it doesn't possess the overwhelming power of Qiongqi.

Chaos thought that after breaking free from Qiongqi's control, he could finally roam freely like a fish in the sea or a bird in the sky.
However, things were destined to be more complicated than that. Chaos thought that after breaking free from Qiongqi's control and with the soul-devouring ability he had developed, he was invincible. But he did not expect that Mo Qian's sword would shatter Chaos's imagination. Chaos's thinking was too good. Ideals are always full, but reality is always harsh.

In fact, if Qiongqi hadn't transferred the soul imprint to its physical body, it might have prevented Chaos from conducting soul experiments and devouring souls.

Both of these things are unacceptable to Qiongqi. Although Qiongqi was also very perverse in the past, it would never experiment on souls. As for soul devouring, that is even more impossible. The damage to the soul caused by soul devouring is far greater than Chaos imagined.

"So what is your choice: become my apprentice, or be buried here with me?"

Qiongqi looked at Yu Wenzhou with great interest. Qiongqi's words seemed to give Yu Wenzhou a choice, but in fact, they gave Yu Wenzhou no choice at all. Yu Wenzhou only had one choice, which was to become Qiongqi's apprentice, even if it meant betraying his teammates and being misunderstood.

Can you give me a chance to explain?

Yu Wenzhou looked at Qiongqi with a wry smile. He was completely helpless, and even the opportunity to explain himself had been taken away by Qiongqi.

"Shut up and follow me."

In a mere instant, Qiongqi branded Yu Wenzhou with its soul mark. Normally, a soul mark can only be branded with the consent of both parties. This is why Qiongqi went to such lengths to threaten Yu Wenzhou. If Yu Wenzhou did not agree to have his soul mark branded, Qiongqi would not be able to brand it.

After Yu Wenzhou agreed, it was quite simple for Qiongqi to imprint the soul mark. Once it was imprinted, Yu Wenzhou would belong to Qiongqi, and Qiongqi could do anything to Yu Wenzhou's soul, even accessing Yu Wenzhou's memories.

However, most people wouldn't be this perverted. Qiongqi used to be like that, but that was in the past. Later, Qiongqi realized that it didn't need to know so many things, because its brain couldn't process too much information.

Qiongqi is very clear about his mind. Qiongqi's mind is not that good. It's just that Qiongqi knows how to process his memories. He will actively delete some unimportant memories from time to time and only keep the memories he needs.

This is a consequence of Qiongqi's excessive indulgence in the past, a lingering effect on its soul. There is a limit to the amount of memories a soul can store, but because Qiongqi was so wildly playful with its soul in the past, the upper limit of Qiongqi's soul's memory storage capacity has been greatly reduced.

The soul that Qiongqi has seen with the largest storage capacity is Mo Qian's soul. Qiongqi still holds a portion of Mo Qian's soul and all his memories, so no one understands Mo Qian better than Qiongqi.

"But this kid has quite a few female confidantes, huh? Heh, but it's no use."

Qiongqi thought Mo Qian was just a clueless, blockheaded guy. If it were him, Mo Qian's several female friends' children could all be playing together. But alas, Mo Qian was just an innocent little boy.

"Interesting, Mo Qian? You do look quite presentable, but God gave you the greatest talent, yet you also lost the talent for emotions."

Qiongqi took one last look at Mo Qian before preparing to leave with Yu Wenzhou.

"Wait! Where are you going?!"

Seeing Yu Wenzhou leave with Qiongqi, Huang Shaotian panicked and immediately activated his flashbang mode, rushing towards Qiongqi.

It's worth noting that Huang Shaotian is still holding Mo Qian's silver weapon, the Oath of Light and Darkness. Huang Shaotian really wants to get rid of his opponent.

:"No!"

Just as Qiongqi was about to crush Huang Shaotian in mid-air, he was strongly dissuaded by Yu Wenzhou. Qiongqi smiled inwardly:
Oh? So it was him.

Qiongqi opened its palm and sucked Huang Shaotian in, then grabbed Huang Shaotian's neck.

"You want to dance too? But you don't seem to be qualified to dance, kid."

Qiongqi was still very grateful to Huang Shaotian, after all, it was Huang Shaotian who made Qiongqi discover that Huang Shaotian was Yu Wenzhou's weakness, and the weakest one at that.

“Tell him which side you’re on now.”

Qiongqi gripped Huang Shaotian's neck, applying slight pressure with his palm. The suction force just now was a soul-attracting force. Qiongqi's mastery of the soul was quite advanced, and he was virtually infallible.

Qiongqi looked at Yu Wenzhou while slightly tightening his grip, confident that Yu Wenzhou knew exactly what answer he wanted to hear.

"Say it."

Qiongqi looked at Yu Wenzhou and continued to exert force, making Huang Shaotian's face turn increasingly red.

"If you don't tell him, he'll suffocate. Suffocation is really, really uncomfortable. You know that, right?"

Qiongqi continued to stare at Yu Wenzhou, threatening him that if Yu Wenzhou didn't speak, Qiongqi would really suffocate Huang Shaotian.

"I, I'm on your side."

The tuft of hair on Huang Shaotian's head suddenly fell off. After hearing those words, Huang Shaotian's heart died.

"Yes, did you hear that? He, Yu Wenzhou, wants to come along. If you understand, then get out of the way."

Qiongqi casually threw Huang Shaotian away. Huang Shaotian instinctively caught his weight and didn't fall to the ground. Yu Wenzhou looked at Huang Shaotian with some surprise. Just now, Huang Shaotian had an expression that looked like he had lost all hope. Yu Wenzhou thought that Huang Shaotian would fall to the ground directly, but Qiongqi seemed to have underestimated Huang Shaotian's mental fortitude.

Huang Shaotian wasn't stupid. He knew very well that Yu Wenzhou said those words to protect himself. If he hadn't said them, he might have been suffocated by Qiongqi.

At this moment, Huang Shaotian no longer possessed his former vitality. He knew very well that only by having the strength of Mo Qian could he be qualified to rescue Yu Wenzhou.

Huang Shaotian stared intently at the departing figures of Yu Wenzhou and Qiongqi, vowing that he would personally take Qiongqi's head.

"That puts my mind at ease, Shaotian."

Yu Wenzhou also turned around and saw Huang Shaotian's eyes. This was the eyes of a sword saint, the eyes of a true sword saint.

Only a swordsman who has overcome confusion and failure can become a true swordsman. (End of Chapter)
