Chapter 158: Divine Sword Origins
Since things have already developed till this stage, what else could Little Fatty possibly reply? He shook his head helplessly, “Why not I give it a try?”
“That’ll be the best!” ShuiJing smiled and looked towards Han Bing’er, “Will junior sister release her spiritual artifact?”
“Alright!” As Han Bing’er heard that, she did not say anything else. With a wave of her hands, a 3 foot long transparent Divine Ice Soul Sword appeared.
Seeing this legendary spiritual artifact, everyone present could not help but inhaled a deep breath; especially Gong YuHan, he stared so intensely to the point his eyeb.a.l.l.s almost fell out. As such, when Little Fatty was still hesitating and afraid, Gong YuHan stepped out first. As he attempted to grab the Divine Ice Soul Sword, he shouted, “I don’t believe that I am not able to suppress this treasure!”
As everyone saw that, they were astonished and could not help but frowned at his actions. Since it did not concern them, they all did not stop him. As for Han Bing’er, she only maintained her cold demeanor and only laughed coldly.
Only ShuiJing could not help but be worried and shouted out of goodwill, “Be careful!”
The overconfident and blinded Gong YuHan completely ignored what ShuiJing said. Using his hands which were already filled with a chilly Qi, he grabbed the hilt of the Divine Ice Soul Sword with confidence.
Just when his hands were a few feet away from the Divine Ice Soul Sword, the Divine Ice Soul Sword trembled and emitted a white divine light.
The divine light which the Divine Ice Soul Sword emitted and the chilly Qi from Gong YuHan’s hands collided with each other. Everyone saw the chilly Qi on Gong YuHan’s hands dissipate, and the divine light rushed towards Gong YuHan’s hands without any obstruction like wind sweeping through the leafs.
At this moment, Gong YuHan’s felt despair in his heart. The moment he touched the divine light, he understood just how scary the divine light was. The strength of the chilly Qi was not something which he could stand up against. His own chilly cultivation was completely insignificant in the eyes of the divine light. If the light were to penetrate his body, he would probably die.
Gong YuHan was scared out of his wits and did not dare to flaunt any longer and retreated. At the same time, he began shouting, “Junior sister Bing’er, hurry up and ask it to stop!”
Gong YuHan was after all the young temple master of a large sect. It also wouldn’t be good for Han Bing’er to allow him to die under her sword. After hearing his pleas, she hurriedly suppressed the divine light of the sword with a snap of her fingers.
Despite that, it was already too late. The divine light of the Divine Ice Soul Sword was just too quick. Despite both their quick reactions, Gong YuHan’s right hand was still struck by the divine light and a wave of cold air infiltrated his arm.
Everyone then saw Gong YuHan’s right hand slowly become transparent. His bones, muscles and everything slowly became an ice crystal with his clothes being reduced to dust instantly.
Not just that, the cold air was not satisfied with merely a hand. It still continued to work its way up his right hand. Everywhere it pa.s.sed, clothes was reduced to dust and bones transformed into crystal.
Despite Gong YuHan fully activating his cultivation method, he was still unable to stop the divine light. If this were to continue, he would definitely end up becoming an ice sculpture.
Thankfully, ShuiJing reacted quickly; with a snap of her fingers, a golden light flashed by. A World Coin then amputated Gong YuHan’s right arm.
This was really a close call, the moment ShuiJing amputated his arm, the divine light had already spread to the place where his arm was amputated. If she was any slower, the light would have infiltrated his body.
The unfortunate right arm was completely infiltrated by the divine light and smashed into ice dust the moment it landed on the floor. Even a magical artifact ring on his right hand wasn’t spared and became ice dust.
Seeing this, everyone could not help but take in a cold breath of air. They never expect that the automatic retaliation of the Divine Ice Soul Sword would be so frightening, scaring everyone silly on the spot.
Only Han Bing’er was completely unsurprised and said, “Just now, I had released my control over the Divine Ice Soul Sword to make it easier for senior brother Song to use it. But when I did that, the might of its retaliation is no longer under my control. The strength of it was completely at the level of a spiritual artifact. It wouldn’t be too surprising for it to destroy magical artifacts!”
As Gong YuHan heard that, he almost fainted from anger and thought to himself, ‘Why couldn’t you have said that earlier, then I wouldn’t have taken such a risk.’
But, no one forced him to take the sword, thus it was his just desserts. No matter what, Gong YuHan was also an outstanding disciple and still possesses some good demeanor. As such, he did not make a fuss out of it and said with a bitter laughter, “Just take it that I’m unlucky! Thank you, junior sister ShuiJing for saving my life!”
