Chapter 1312: Chapter 858: Ring-Headed Saber_5

"Even the Half-step Netherworld-level elders couldn’t survive that incident..." Yang Xiao looked at the blade in his hand and couldn’t help but feel a chill.

Sheng Yanlin had clearly told him before that if this saber were complete, it would be a Nether-level Magical Artifact.

After giving Yang Xiao some warnings, Elder Kunpa left without much ado, just fulfilling his duty. Now, their Esoteric Sect and Yang Xiao’s Jiangbei Province Office had reached an agreement, making them half allies.

Of course, this agreement was secretly made, and both parties would not acknowledge it openly.

After Elder Kunpa left, Yang Xiao sought out Sheng Yanlin right away. Having this former dean of Yiling Academy there made Yang Xiao feel more at ease.

Following Sheng Yanlin’s inspection, the elixir crafted by the Esoteric Sect was made exceptionally well, comparable to those of the Dharma Sect.

Hearing this, Yang Xiao was relieved and generously gifted the newly crafted elixir to Sheng Yanlin, as a way of returning a favor.

Sheng Yanlin took the elixir and laughed with squinting eyes, "You sly boy, giving this to me, are you worried I might lie and try to get another one?"

"Of course not, how could Elder Sheng think of me like that?" Yang Xiao replied righteously.

Sheng Yanlin wasn’t meeting him for the first time, so he didn’t argue, focusing instead on the newly reforged Ring-Headed Saber. His rough hand gently touched the blade, unable to resist praising, "A fine saber, truly a fine saber! The craftsmanship of the Esoteric Sect is truly extraordinary!"

"Elder Sheng, what is the ability of this saber?" Based on the disaster at the Esoteric Sect’s Royal City and Sutana’s disappearance, he could somewhat judge that this saber’s ability was likely related to Space Power.

"I’m not entirely sure either, but I’ve heard that those struck by this saber would be torn apart, dying horribly. Quite a few experts died under the Sword Lord’s hand back then, some even with strength comparable to mine."

Facing the saber, Sheng Yanlin sighed as if reminiscing about his time as dean, when the vast world of martial arts was flourishing with talents, what a glorious time it was.

After Sheng Yanlin’s confirmation, Yang Xiao returned alone with the saber to the Mirror World. In the secret chamber, he used the same trick, letting his dear sister take the saber.

This time, things went surprisingly smoothly. Perhaps it was because the dear sister’s anger had dissipated, or maybe because this weapon was genuinely good. In less than half an hour, Yang Xiao returned to the real world with the Ring-Headed Saber.

Truthfully, with Bo Yetong now turned into an elixir, Yang Xiao felt something was missing as he returned to the secret chamber of the Mirror World, a bit lonely.

"Come, slash me with it." Sheng Yanlin casually used the Wisdom Stick to pick up a chair, tilting it one way as a target for Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao took a slash at it, the sharp blade slicing the upper part of the chair cleanly into two.

"I meant for you to inject spiritual power before slashing!" Sheng Yanlin rolled his eyes.

"Hehe, I was just getting a feel for it," Yang Xiao chuckled.

In the next second, he suppressed his smile, injecting spiritual power into the blade. Immediately, a strange sensation rose, and Yang Xiao felt as if the space around the blade was distorted. But upon closer inspection, it wasn’t.

After Yang Xiao sliced down with the saber, a bizarre scene unfolded. The part slashed off didn’t fall to the ground but vanished into thin air, while the remaining piece of the chair hung on Sheng Yanlin’s Wisdom Stick.

"Hit me with another strike!" Sheng Yanlin had obviously discovered something. He tossed the chair aside and raised the Wisdom Stick, clearly intending to take Yang Xiao’s strike head-on.

Seeing this, Yang Xiao didn’t bother with words, knowing that with his current skills, harming Sheng Yanlin was nearly impossible.

Yang Xiao held the saber with both hands and sliced diagonally, which Sheng Yanlin’s Wisdom Stick blocked steadily. At the moment of impact between the two magical artifacts, Yang Xiao clearly saw the space at the contact point warp.

"I understand now." Sheng Yanlin nodded after retracting the Wisdom Stick, "The parts sliced off aren’t disappearing; they’re being transferred to another space."

"I can’t determine exactly where they’re sent to, but this thing is good for you. It’ll save you the trouble of disposing of bodies after killing someone," Sheng Yanlin generously explained.

Yang Xiao: "... I don’t know how to refute that, but it does feel a bit odd."

"Come on, let’s continue. My targets are no good; we’ll have to get the Esoteric Sect to send over a few live ones." With that, Sheng Yanlin turned to go find people.

But less than five minutes after Sheng Yanlin left, he hurried back. Before Yang Xiao could ask, Sheng Yanlin spoke first: "I just met the Esoteric Elder, and he told me that the identity of the person causing trouble on the Exoteric Sect’s territory is confirmed!"

"Who is it!" Yang Xiao stood up immediately while fiddling with the Ring-Headed Saber.

"This person fled from within the country. Not only were those missing Exoteric Elders killed, but they were also cruelly turned into puppets."

"High-level puppets that can fight using their previous combat experience and can wield magic artifacts!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao’s mind went blank with a loud "buzz," as he realized who it was. freewёbnoνel.com

It was none other than his mortal enemy, the Sect Master of the Yu Yuan Sect!

"It’s him!!" Yang Xiao’s pupils suddenly shrank.
