The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Old Ghost knew that even if they traded, he and the Blade Spirit would both be severely injured; he absolutely could not let the Blade Spirit take him down for nothing.

"bump!"

The sword spirit and the old ghost were both sent flying, but the sword spirit inflicted more damage on the old ghost.

However, Lao Gui is stronger than Mo Qian. Lao Gui's soul strength is very high, while Mo Qian's physical strength is not particularly high.

So even though Lao Gui didn't use his full strength, Mo Qian's body still suffered a lot of damage.

"Humph!"

The Blade Spirit hadn't used the technique of deflecting force for a long time, and unexpectedly, he used a technique he hadn't used in all these years.

"Using this brat's body, do you really think you can fight me?"

After the old ghost recovered, he spoke to the sword spirit.

"I bet you haven't been beaten in all these years. You don't even know who was the one who cried out for me back then."

After speaking, Dao Ling once again controlled Mo Qian's body and rushed out.

If it were Mo Qian, he might not dare to rush out, because Lao Gui is clearly stronger than Mo Qian. If it were Mo Qian, he would probably observe slowly and find the best time to charge.

However, this is completely inapplicable to the Blade Spirit, because the Blade Spirit's reaction and experience are far superior to Mo Qian's.

The sword spirit can unleash 200% of its power by controlling Mo Qian's body. Mo Qian himself has to learn how the sword spirit controls his body in his own spiritual sea. To be honest, Mo Qian still finds it a bit strange.

"They dare to charge like that!"

Mo Qian actually wanted to remind Dao Ling that the other party might have already prepared a trap. After all, there was also a Qiongqi behind them. Even if Lao Gui didn't set up a trap, wouldn't Qiongqi set one up?

"Ok?"

Dao Ling slid away from a soul cage and watched Qiongqi in the distance with great interest.

"After all these years, you're the first person to surprise me, to set a trap for me. Are you prepared to be killed?"

Dao Ling said with a smile, and the next moment he appeared behind Qiongqi.

"How dare you?!"

Old Ghost genuinely wondered if there was something wrong with Qiongqi's brain, that it would dare to set a trap for Dao Ling, clearly unaware of Dao Ling's past achievements.

"hiss!"

Even the old ghost didn't dare to set a trap for the sword spirit.

Setting traps for the sword spirit will only excite it more and make it stronger. This is a characteristic of sword spirits; when they sense danger, their perception becomes exceptionally sharp.

"Hmph! But Blade Spirit, aren't you a bit too confident!"

Although the Blade Spirit charged forward with incredible speed after its initial excitement, Old Ghost wasn't blind. After the Blade Spirit triggered the Soul Cage trap, he knew its next target would be Qiongqi.
If Qiongqi dies, Lao Gui's strength will be greatly reduced, which is not what Lao Gui wants to see. Therefore, even if Lao Gui is injured, he must come back to protect Qiongqi.

"So, Qiongqi is that important to you."

The old ghost held the demonic sword of the sword spirit in place, and the spirit smiled slightly. "What!"

Old Ghost then realized that the Blade Spirit's real purpose wasn't Qiongqi at all. Qiongqi wasn't even worthy of the Blade Spirit's attention. What the Blade Spirit truly wanted to know was Qiongqi's importance to Old Ghost.

It now seems that Qiongqi is extremely important to Lao Gui, even to the point of being like Lao Gui's life.

"So that's why your soul is so strong. It's because of the master-servant contract."

With a simple movement, Dao Ling found a way to break the deadlock and also drew the attention of both of them to herself.

Besides these reasons, there was another reason why the sword spirit launched a fierce attack on Qiongqi.
The sword spirit needs to draw the attention of both people to itself. Once that's done, Mo Qian's teammates, Su Mucheng and the others, will be safe.

This battle is beyond their control, not even Yu Wenzhou and the others. Ye Xiu's ability to foresee the future is something no one can see clearly now.

Yu Wenzhou and Lao Wei were also exhausted after activating their domains.

"Are we holding everyone back?"

Ye Xiu watched the battle between the Blade Spirit and the Qiongqi Old Ghost with a wry smile. Their bodies were no longer clearly visible; all that could be seen were countless afterimages flashing by.

"Don't doubt Old Ye, we're just holding you back. But after Old Wei and I rest for a bit, we might still be able to help. The domain does have some effect. We can get closer and activate the domain to help."

Yu Wenzhou had a clear understanding of their strength. The Ice Domain was also an extremely useful domain, and its slowing effect even worked on Old Ghost.

"Hmph! Blade Spirit! If you've got the guts, fight me one-on-one! Stop bullying the little kid!"

What Lao Gui said wasn't wrong. Both Dao Ling and Lao Gui were ancient monsters who had lived for thousands of years. Compared to Qiong Qi, Qiong Qi was just a child.

Dao Ling knew very well that even if she and Mo Qian were of one mind and body, she would not be able to crush Lao Gui. In fact, if she were to fight Lao Gui, Dao Ling felt that she would still lose, just like the first time.

Old Ghost can extract soul power from Qiongqi's body to replenish himself at any time, but Blade Spirit cannot extract Mo Qian's soul power to replenish himself.

It wasn't that the sword spirit didn't want to, but rather that it couldn't. Doing so would cause immense damage to its soul, something Qiongqi was well aware of. However, because Qiongqi and the old ghost had a master-servant contract, Qiongqi had no choice but to have its soul power absorbed by the old ghost.

Qiongqi doesn't like Lao Gui, so why would it casually hand over its soul power to Lao Gui?
"In the future, I will eventually reclaim all my soul power, with interest."

That's what Qiongqi thought, but for now, Qiongqi still needs Lao Gui to protect him. If Lao Gui doesn't protect him, he won't be able to defeat Dao Ling. If he can't defeat Dao Ling, then both of them will be doomed.

So now, Qiongqi only needs to do one thing: protect itself well.

"A Soul Cage!"

After testing the strength of the sword spirit, Qiongqi became completely obedient, and dutifully surrounded itself with layers upon layers of soul cage.

"They're both using the same body, so why is Mo Qian so powerful?"

As Qiongqi pondered why the sword spirit's control over Mo Qian's body was so powerful...
"Pfft"

With a crisp sound, Qiongqi stared blankly at the Muramasa demon sword piercing its chest.

"What? When?"

Qiongqi looked at its soul cage, utterly unable to withstand the demon sword Muramasa wielded by the sword spirit. The sword spirit's use of Muramasa was a completely different matter from Mo Qian's. (End of Chapter)
