The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

The sword spirit was tired of fighting and needed to be coaxed before it could fight again. The way the sword spirit coaxed itself was by absorbing Mo Qian's life force and soul power.

Mo Qian: ...

After hearing the explanation from the sword spirit, Mo Qian was speechless. It turned out that the sword spirit needed to absorb a large amount of Mo Qian's energy before it could fight.

"Oh it's you."

"Hmph! I don't care, it's because your life force and soul power are so delicious. Aren't they tempting my sword spirit?"

Mo Qian: ...

What a temptation! Mo Qian knew he couldn't win against this old woman who had lived for thousands of years.
"Who are you calling an old lady?! Mo Qian! Do you have a death wish?!"

Mo Qian suddenly forgot one thing: the sword spirit was fully capable of knowing what Mo Qian was thinking, because the sword spirit's understanding of the blood pact was much deeper than Mo Qian's.

Mo Qian didn't even know what a blood pact was, so how could he know that he could use a blood pact to see what the sword spirit was thinking?

The Blade Spirit knows how to use the Blood Pact to see into Mo Qian's mind, so the Blade Spirit can always tell when Mo Qian is saying bad things about her.

Mo Qian shook his head awkwardly and said:
"What are you talking about? I don't know anything about this."

Mo Qian secretly became wary, determined not to reveal his thoughts so easily next time;

Little did he know, even if Mo Qian thought that way, it was useless; the sword spirit could still find out.

"Humph!"

Seeing the angry look on the sword spirit's face, Mo Qian forgot about how the sword spirit had absorbed his soul power and life force, making him unable to defeat Qiongqi.

However, this also served as a reminder to the Blade Spirit that next time, it should not absorb Mo Qian's life force and soul power before making a move.

Although it was really satisfying, this method also caused much more damage to Mo Qian than when he absorbed the damage normally, which definitely affected his combat performance.

"Forget it, I won't absorb it before the battle next time. I should be nicer to this brat. I need to raise him well so that he can be my long-term food source."

Dao Ling H felt that she needed to follow the concept of sustainable development, absorbing less from Mo Qian each time so that she could continue absorbing. This time, she absorbed a little too much before the battle, almost causing her long-term sustenance to disappear forever.

The sword spirit swore that if she had another chance, she would still absorb that much. Of course, she wouldn't do it again. In the future, the sword spirit would analyze the battle situation and absorb Mo Qian's soul power and life force as appropriate.

If the opponent is strong enough, the sword spirit won't absorb Mo Qian's soul power. However, if the opponent is someone who can be defeated simply by activating the Killing God Domain, the sword spirit will occasionally absorb Mo Qian's soul power and life force during battle. There's no other way; when Mo Qian is in battle, his soul power and life force are extremely active. If the sword spirit could resist at that moment, it might as well become a nun.

Having such delicious food in front of you, but not being able to eat it, would be torture for anyone.

Dao Ling felt that she had actually been quite restrained. If it were Old Ghost inside Mo Qian, Mo Qian would probably have been completely drained by Old Ghost within a few hours.

Old Ghost wasn't as gentle as Dao Ling. As for why Old Ghost didn't drain Qiongqi dry, it's because Qiongqi's soul was really unpalatable. Every soul has its own flavor, and Mo Qian's soul power tasted like top-grade double-skin milk.

This was something the sword spirit couldn't resist, but Qiongqi's soul had the taste of dead salmon. This was partly because Qiongqi had lived for too long, hundreds of years had eroded its soul to this extent, and partly because Qiongqi wanted to make its soul taste bad.

Qiongqi knew very well that if he didn't make his soul power more palatable, he would probably be drained dry by the old ghost in a single day. Therefore, after being possessed by the old ghost, Qiongqi soaked in a bath of many foul souls every day.
It took so long to develop this flavor, which is why the old ghost didn't absorb many of Qiongqi's souls.

Old Ghost didn't like eating rotten souls, but he genuinely loved Mo Qian's soul. He had even planned to savor Mo Qian's soul properly after the battle.

But who knew that plans could not keep up with changes? Old Ghost did not expect that even though he had defeated the sword spirit in its soul form, the sword spirit possessed Mo Qian's body and took down Qiongqi in just a few strikes.

Having captured it, how could Old Ghost dare to continue fighting the Blade Spirit? He scrambled away, unable to gamble on the possibility.

Dao Ling knew Lao Gui's personality; Lao Gui dared not gamble, otherwise Dao Ling and Mo Qian would really be wiped out in one fell swoop.

When Dao Ling defeated Qiong Qi, he had already used up all his power. He held on until the old ghost escaped, and only then did Dao Ling fall asleep peacefully.

"What if we run into that old ghost again in the future? Mo Qian, have you thought about that?"

Dao Ling is now truly uncertain whether he and Mo Qian, even if they are of one mind and body, can still defeat Lao Gui. Lao Gui's strength will definitely gradually recover to the level of the Ghost King he once was.

However, the sword spirit cannot recover because it cannot find anything to restore its strength. After signing the blood pact with Mo Qian, the sword spirit truly could not consume the other souls. Now, the sword spirit only eats two meals a day: one before going to sleep at night, absorbing Mo Qian's soul power and life force.
This also helps Mo Qian fall asleep quickly. It has to be said that the sword spirit is somewhat effective in treating Mo Qian's insomnia. Sometimes Mo Qian doesn't even know how he fell asleep at night.

Sometimes, when the sword spirit absorbed too much, it would directly knock Mo Qian unconscious. Fortunately, Mo Qian's body had extremely strong recovery ability, which became even stronger under the blessing of the Dark Heart. By the time he woke up in the morning, his soul and life force had almost fully recovered.

This is the second time that the sword spirit absorbs soul power and life force, which is why Mo Qian always feels like he hasn't had enough sleep when he wakes up in the morning.

In fact, Mo Qian had slept enough, but after being absorbed by the sword spirit again, he couldn't get enough sleep. His energy and soul power were severely depleted by the sword spirit.

After Mo Qian learned that the sword spirit could devour his life force and soul power, he was more aware of what was happening when he was being eaten; this was true.

Previously, Mo Qian couldn't sense his soul being absorbed. (End of Chapter)
