Chapter 756 – The Sword Spirit’s Master! (2/2)

It wasn’t long before all 10,000 swords had vanished.

After that, the sword chest returned to his spatial ring.

Yang Ye stood silently on the spot for a short while, and then he flipped his palm. Solemnness and bewilderment filled his eyes as he gazed at the sword chest, Looks like its strength is far beyond my expectations. Could it be at the Saint Rank? Even if it is, it’s impossible for it to subdue 10,000 Dao Rank swords, right? If it isn’t at the Saint Rank, then could it be a treasure that’s above the Saint Rank? Looks like I have to find the time to head back to Nameless City and ask that old man where he got this sword chest!

Yang Ye didn’t waste anymore time and put the sword chest away. Because those swords and the sword chest were his anyway!

“Go on ahead by yourself. I won’t be following you!” Suddenly, a weak voice came from the side.

Yang Ye looked over and saw that the middle aged man was still lying on the ground. Even though the swords were gone, his body was still riddled with holes, and it was recovering at an extremely slow pace!

Yang Ye shook his head. He felt that while that undying physique was great, but there were many times that it was merely something that brought torture to its possessor. Just like this very moment, the middle aged man was definitely in a state where living was worse than death.

Yang Ye paid no attention to the middle aged man. He left a Sword Saint behind before he turned around and continued forward.

The Half-Saint Sword Servant wasn’t there to take care of the middle aged man, it was there to watch him. In that way, his every move would be within Yang Ye’s control.

Yang Ye walked for a while before the scene around him warped. A short while later, Yang Ye opened his eyes, and he noticed that he wasn’t in the hall any longer. He was on a square.

Suddenly, Yang Ye’s expression changed because countless strands of invisible sword intent had suddenly appeared around him, and they surged towards him like a surging torrent!

1st level Heaven Rank sword intent!

Endless 1st level Heaven Rank sword intent surged towards Yang Ye!

Yang Ye wasn’t surprised but overjoyed by this instead. He would definitely face a huge amount of trouble if it were a day ago, yet now…. His sword intent was at the 2nd level of the Heaven Rank. In other words, he could devour them, madly devour them!

Yang Ye was doing just that. He completely disregarded putting up any defenses and just allowed it to surge into him….

In the beginning, it felt absolutely satisfying to Yang Ye. Because he clearly sensed his sword intent rising madly, but it wasn’t long before the situation turned slightly bad. It was because the speed at which he absorbed and converted the sword intent was too slow, but the sword intent around him hadn’t reduced in the slightest. Moreover, it was even growing more and more. So, he had too much sword intent within him!

Yang Ye’s entire body had swelled up, and it was growing larger and larger. Since he couldn’t absorb and convert them in time, they started to surge through his meridians and bones, and that was why his body started to swell up.

Yang Ye didn’t dare allow the sword intent to surge wildly through his body. He hurriedly released his own sword intent, and it surged out madly. In that way, his body was equivalent to a transit station, and new sword intent was entering to be absorbed while his own surged out towards the surroundings….

Of course, it was extraordinarily beneficial as well. Because once the sword intent surged into his body, they were being gradually devoured by him and strengthening his own sword intent.

Time slowly pa.s.sed by just like that.

After an unknown period of time, Yang Ye finally finished absorbing all the sword intent around him. He stood there on the spot with his eyes slightly closed while the s.p.a.ce around him rippled as if some sort of terrifying thing was smas.h.i.+ng against it.

At this moment, Yang Ye was like a peerless sword which was about to be unsheathed, and his aura was extremely fierce and sharp to the point it could pierce the sky!

A long time pa.s.sed before Yang Ye suddenly opened his eyes, and 2 rays of light actually shot out from within them. Everywhere they pa.s.sed, even s.p.a.ce was instantly torn apart.

Huff!

Yang Ye took a deep breath and spoke softly, “What a pity…. The peak of the 12th level. I’m only a step away, just a step away from the 13th level! What a pity!”

Even though he’d devoured a huge amount of sword intent, he hadn’t risen to the 3rd level of Heaven Rank sword intent. However, he’d gained great gains. Firstly, he was at the peak of the 2nd level, and he was only a step away from 3rd level Heaven Rank sword intent. No, he was actually just half a step away. Because he’d touched its threshold and even taken one step through it!

So long as he had some sword intent to devour or had a fortuitous encounter, then he was confident in his ability to immediately step foot into the 3rd level!

Even though he hadn’t, the might of his sword intent was countless times stronger than before, and it couldn’t compare to the past at all!

In short, his gains were enormous!

“Congratulations! You’re only half a step from the 3rd level of Heaven Rank sword intent!” Meanwhile, a scholarly man appeared before Yang Ye.

Yang Ye’s pupils constricted when he saw the man. Because the man was holding a sword, and the sheath of that sword was actually the ancient sheath!
