The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Lingling was right. Not everyone has the same talent as Mo Qian, but Ye Xiu and the others are not ordinary people either. Although their talent is not top-notch, it is definitely in a class of its own.

"Sir, should I go down and stop them?"

Lingling said excitedly. It was unclear what she was excited about. For some reason, Lingling felt that her heart would start to beat uncontrollably every time she met Mo Qian.

Lingling didn't know why her heart would start pounding whenever she saw Mo Qian, but she knew that she really wanted to see him. Whenever she was bored, she would think of that person with double pupils and white hair who looked at her with strange eyes.

"Do you want to go?"

Qiongqi smiled as he looked at Lingling. Qiongqi had a fairly accurate grasp of people's hearts, and this was no exception for his subordinates.

"Hmm—I'd like to go a little."

Even if Qiongqi didn't say it, Lingling probably went there for Mo Qian. Among Mo Qian's team, only Mo Qian has the highest appearance. Qiongqi knows the personality of his subordinate Lingling.

Lingling is a total sucker for good looks; she just likes pretty things.

"Alright, go ahead, but remember to be careful and don't get kidnapped or scammed."

Qiongqi always treated Lingling as his own daughter and raised her single-handedly. Qiongqi would never let Lingling know that it was actually Qiongqi who took over Lingling's family back then.

In other words, Qiongqi is actually Lingling's enemy, but Lingling knows nothing about it because Qiongqi is genuinely kind to Lingling and treats her like a daughter.

"Hehe, you really are kind, Qiongqi. You slaughtered their entire family, yet you didn't even know. You're human, so I'll eat you."

Qiannian spoke loudly within the soul cage created by Qiongqi, but unfortunately, only Qiongqi could hear Qiannian's voice; no one else could hear it. This was the advantage of Qiongqi's soul cage.

"Hehe, you're really lively."

After Qiongqi left these words, the Soul Cage was suddenly struck by lightning. The thousand-year-old creature inside was naturally screaming and howling from the electric shock. The soul belongs to Yin, while lightning belongs to Yang, making lightning the nemesis of the soul.

Qiannian didn't know how Qiongqi learned the Yin Thunder, but after being imprisoned by Qiongqi, he was shocked at least four or five times a day, and he was almost used to it.

Aside from being extremely painful, being electrocuted is actually beneficial to a thousand-year-old soul. Each time it is electrocuted by Qiongqi, the thousand-year-old soul becomes more resilient, although it doesn't really have much of a use.

"That's it! That's it!"

When Qiongqi finds the millennium too noisy, it will simply shield its soul cage. Doesn't it need some quiet time sometimes?

"Shut up."

This was the last sentence he heard after a thousand years.

As for why Qiongqi didn't just annihilate Qiannian, it wasn't that Qiongqi couldn't do it, but rather that Qiongqi felt that annihilation would be pointless, just as Yu Wenzhou thought:
Yu Wenzhou believed that Qiongqi would never kill Qiannian, because given Qiongqi's personality, doing so would not benefit him at all, nor would it bring him much benefit. Therefore, Qiongqi would not take action against Qiannian.

"When they arrive, you won't survive," Qiongqi said indifferently to Qiannian.

Qiongqi wanted Yu Wenzhou to know the consequences of betraying him, and he wanted Yu Wenzhou to know that everyone's death was because of Yu Wenzhou.

"Just wait, you'd better hurry up and come over, I can't hold back any longer."

Qiongqi went back to wait. He felt that this was perhaps the first time in all his years of ruling the tenth level that he found something interesting.

"Mo Qian? I hope your strength hasn't declined too much."

Qiongqi's spies are spread across the first ten levels. Qiongqi knows what has recently happened to Mo Qian, and also knows that Mo Qian's strength has declined significantly.
"However, I hope that demonic sword isn't the one I'm thinking of."

Qiongqi's expression suddenly became somewhat solemn. Qiongqi had also been searching for this knife for a long time, because it was the only weapon in the first ten levels that could injure Qiongqi head-on, and it was also a weapon that Qiongqi acknowledged.

However, after Mo Qian fought against Qiongqi, he acquired an additional weapon, the Oath of Light and Darkness, which Ye Xiu created for him. Qiongqi was somewhat wary of this weapon because Mo Qian had actually managed to injure Qiongqi with it.

Qiongqi hasn't shed blood in battle for a long time, which is its weakness. Real combat experience needs constant refinement, and Qiongqi no longer has the fighting spirit it once had to charge towards the twentieth floor.

Qiongqi does not deny this, because Qiongqi has indeed lost its fighting spirit and lacks practical experience.

The rest area on the ninth floor.

"Um?--"

Mo Qian was the first to wake up, thanks in part to the demon sword. The sword spirit was truly devoted to Mo Qian, and even when Mo Qian was injured, it would secretly channel some of its life force into him.

Of course, the sword spirit wouldn't tell Mo Qian that she had secretly stolen some of Mo Qian's life force as well.

Because Mo Qian's life force tastes really good, the sword spirit felt that since Mo Qian was already its master, it wouldn't be a problem for it to absorb some of Mo Qian's life force appropriately.

"Why does my lower back ache when I get up?"

Mo Qian felt a little strange as he examined his body. Why did he feel both full and somewhat empty?

Mo Qian is rather laid-back; if he can't think of something, he simply stops thinking about it.

After getting dressed, Mo Qian took the demon sword and went out. There was one thing Mo Qian hadn't considered: he had no idea when his clothes had disappeared or who had taken them off.

"Next time it'll be the fourth floor, right?"

Mo Qian looked at the towering structure with a somewhat solemn expression. To be honest, Mo Qian didn't have much confidence that he could take down this Demon Tower single-handedly. Fortunately, Mo Qian was no longer fighting alone; most of the people in his team now had their own trump cards.
Even Yu Wenzhou and Ye Xiu's trump cards and abilities could provide Mo Qian with tremendous help at crucial moments. Yu Wenzhou's soul ability and Ye Xiu's ability to foresee the future are both incredibly powerful abilities.
Not only can it provide help to Mo Qian now, but its future potential is not much weaker than Mo Qian's current potential.

Mo Qian is now starting almost from scratch; all his former physical talents have vanished. (End of Chapter)
