Chương 219: War God’s — Chapter 220 - Spirit Wraith Obtained, Spirit-Devouring Art Acquired!

"W-we won?" Li Zhan muttered, "How did we win? The gap was so huge—how could we even beat it?"

"Didn't feel like we beat it." Feng Qingge's eyes were deep.

"More like a kind of..."

"What?"

"Suicide."

"When that greatsword swordsman stopped, it seemed already dead. Its aura vanished in an instant." Yes. Wang Xian had not defeated this greatsword swordsman. To be precise, it committed suicide. The Phantom Shadow Sword Art from the Tianzhe Sword Sect let you see a kindred spirit. Made you realize there are still Sword Sect disciples walking the world. You had no more regrets. Wang Xian looked at the bone sword.

As a weapon forged by the Tianzhe Sword Sect, he truly couldn't tell what level of craftsmanship this bone sword represented. The techniques used were completely different from Blue Star's smelting and forging methods. But it absolutely held great research value. As for this sword disciple Zhou Han, in his previous life, this sword-wraith ghost was unbeatable. Forget fourth-realm, even fifth-realm and sixth-realm martial artists couldn't defeat it.

That Yan Zhaoxue could take one of its strikes head-on was already somewhat beyond Wang Xian's expectations. The reason was simple. This sword-wraith ghost was an inner sect disciple of the Tianzhe Sword Sect who had mastered a special method called 'Mystic Gold Sword Bone'. If you couldn't instantly annihilate it, then it could use this Mystic Gold Sword Bone to infinitely revive within the sword tomb by drawing on the spirit wraiths. It simply could not be killed.

In his previous life, who knows how many exploring martial artists it had blocked. As for how it was eventually broken? Naturally, the Phantom Shadow Sword Art. Because the Phantom Shadow Sword Art wasn't a Blue Star martial art. It was originally a core sword technique of the Tianzhe Sword Sect! Back when Zhilou Cloud City crashed into the Blue Star sea region, the disciples of the Tianzhe Sword Sect were almost entirely wiped out. But in fact, one outer sect disciple hadn't completely died.

He struggled to escape from Zhilou Cloud City. Later, fishermen in the East Sea discovered him and brought him back to the ancient territory that wasn't yet Dragon Nation. Thus, this martial art was passed down. Unfortunately, this martial art itself was a core technique of the Tianzhe Sword Sect, extremely difficult to learn. Even though it was passed down, due to differences in language and physique, until the disciple died, it seemed not many people had learned it.

Later, as eras changed and modern New Martial Arts rose, a portion of martial artists, relying on powerful talent, barely managed to learn some of it. But because Zhilou Cloud City had long since sunk into the sea, they didn't know the origins. It wasn't until later that a martial artist, using the Phantom Shadow Sword Art, resolved this swordsman, obtained the spirit wraith, acquired the Spirit-Devouring Art within it, and committed monstrous sins.

In later ages, the Great Eagle Empire and other major powers executed that person and conducted detailed research. Only then did they discover that the source of that person's Spirit-Devouring Art was actually right here! From that point on, countless researchers began deep studies of the Phantom Shadow Sword Art and this relic. Based on the Phantom Shadow Sword Art, they continuously researched and penetrated Zhilou Cloud City.

Only then could they slowly unravel the tip of the iceberg of this alien civilization and come to understand this Tianzhe Sword Sect! But now, Wang Xian had resolved this swordsman at least over 10 years earlier and obtained this spirit wraith!

"Putting the Spirit-Devouring Art aside for now, if this spirit wraith can be fused into a demonic blade, imbuing it with spirituality, not only will its power increase, but in the future it will surely become a Martial God divine weapon." If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

"More importantly, at the very least, the later 'Heaven-Devouring Society' won't appear." The Heaven-Devouring Society was the international criminal force founded by the martial artist who obtained the Spirit-Devouring Art in the later era. Although Wang Xian hadn't personally experienced the era of the Heaven-Devouring Society, after returning from the alien star, he also knew that this evil force had committed many crimes not only in Dragon Nation, but across the entire Blue Star.

Now, without the Spirit-Devouring Art, this evil force could be directly strangled in its cradle. Walking over to Bai Xingyun and the others, Wang Xian said, "That swordsman has already been extinguished. As for the spirit wraiths further in, go find a few suitable ones yourselves."

"..."

"Hold on, junior, how did you do it?" Bai Xingyun didn't move. He stared at Wang Xian, his face full of bewilderment. At this moment, it wasn't just him. Even Li Zhan and Feng Qingge, who walked over from behind, were equally bewildered. All of them looked at Wang Xian, as if trying to figure out the reason. Especially Li Zhan. He'd been defeated here several times. Beaten senseless by this greatsword swordsman, beaten half to death. Even some of the implanted armor on his body had been cleaved apart.

He was almost traumatized. And now, a freshman, a student at only the third realm, could actually resolve it? This completely exceeded imagination.

"It's actually quite simple." Wang Xian smiled.

"This swordsman has self-awareness. Its consciousness retains a longing for the way of the sword. I saw that its movement technique during battle seemed to carry traces of the Phantom Shadow Folding Step. I guessed that it probably knew this special sword technique. So I decided to use this sword art to exchange sword insights with it."

"Afterward, it found fulfillment from the Phantom Shadow Sword Art I displayed. It had already been dead for many years. It was only such a will that sustained it to this point. Now that its final wish was fulfilled, naturally, it vanished." If he mentioned the Tianzhe Sword Sect, Bai Xingyun might not understand, but saying it this way wasn't wrong and was easier to understand.

"How did you know it still retained a longing for the way of the sword?" Bai Xingyun asked curiously.

"I felt it."

"How come I didn't feel it?"

"Maybe because you don't know the Phantom Shadow Sword Art, senior."

"..." Makes sense!

"Impressive!" On the other side, Li Zhan sighed in admiration.

"With your talent, learning the saber is a waste! If you'd started learning the sword a few years earlier, within the same realm, in that year's Dragon Nation Youth Martial Arts Tournament, few would've been your match." Having said that, Li Zhan looked at Yan Zhaoxue.

"See, Senior Sister Yan, I told you, learning the sword has a future."

"That's because your spear technique talent is too poor." Yan Zhaoxue snorted coldly. You have no idea how strong the senior's spear technique is. Sword? From what I've seen so far, it's just something the senior casually picked up. Li Zhan smiled and didn't argue.

"We're the ones who got a bargain for nothing." Feng Qingge smiled slightly, called out to her team members, and was the first to walk forward.

"Those spirit bodies should be good things, right? Junior from Capital Martial Arts, if you ever need anything in the future, we of Tiannan will definitely lend a hand!"

"No need to be polite!" After speaking, she led her team members and charged out first. Not polite at all.

"Damn, Feng Qingge, you guys are so sneaky!" Bai Xingyun roared and quickly rushed out as well. The Social Security sisters behind him followed suit. In an instant, only Wang Xian and Su Li remained. Wang Xian turned around and looked at Su Li before him. Unlike the red-haired war god of his previous life, at this moment, Su Li's hair hadn't yet turned red, and there was still a hint of youthfulness between his brows. His pair of large, bell-like eyes were full of astonishment.

"Have we met before?" he frowned.

"Why do you say that?"

"If we haven't met, why are you looking at me like that?" Su Li stood up, dusted off his hands.

"You look like you've known me for a long time. Bro, although you saved me, sorry but... I like women, not men." Hearing this, Wang Xian looked at Su Li with a strange expression.

"No, you don't."

"The hell, what do you mean by that?" The latter was stunned, hurriedly covering his butt and retreating several steps. Wang Xian laughed. You don't like men, and you don't like women either. You only like strange beasts. Many years later, some strange beasts took human form and wreaked havoc across Blue Star. Quite a few martial artists fell prey to these shape-shifting strange beasts. For example, the famously notorious seductive demons among strange beasts.

And Su Li, he fell prey to these shape-shifting strange beasts... After a while, Bai Xingyun and the others returned. Each of them had captured one spirit wraith. But because they'd been a step behind, they hadn't captured as many as Li Zhan and Feng Qingge's group. This made Li Zhan laugh heartily, while Bai Xingyun was so angry his sword-like brows stood on end... In his previous life, before that greatsword swordsman had vanished, capturing spirit wraiths was actually quite difficult.

Later, after the greatsword swordsman vanished, many of the spirit wraiths also disappeared, and later martial artists could only capture a few before they were gone. Completely different from the current situation. Wang Xian handed over several prepared jars.

"These jars are made from special materials and can store one of these spirit bodies each. Otherwise, after you capture them, they'll slowly disappear not long after leaving the sword tomb." As soon as these words came out, Bai Xingyun and the other two immediately walked over with delighted expressions. Meanwhile, Li Zhan and Feng Qingge on the other side, whose faces had been brimming with joy, instantly froze.

"Ah, what's the use of catching so many?" Bai Xingyun pretended to sigh.

"Can't even take them out. What a pity, what a pity! Such good things, tsk tsk tsk, can only be looked at here! Li Zhan, you guys better take a few more looks now, because once you leave, you won't get to see them anymore!" After speaking, he even raised his nostrils at the other party and hooked the corner of his mouth. His peripheral vision glanced at Wang Xian. What junior? He's practically a senior reborn! Feng Qingge's expression shifted slightly, and she was about to speak.

But Li Zhan was the first to walk over, a fawning smile on his face as he looked at Wang Xian.

"Bro, I admit I laughed a bit too loudly just now. I was wrong. I, Li Zhan, have never begged anyone in my life, but today I'm begging you. Give us a few jars too..."
