I Can Devour Spirits

The blood threads around the crimson skeleton formed by Wei Ziyan would sometimes coagulate, sometimes disperse...

The entire figure turned into a red shadow, swiftly changing direction at various unimaginable angles.

The four of Jiang Zhe, their figures also flickering left and right, kept Wei Ziyan tightly surrounded.

Although the four had Wei Ziyan surrounded, their attacks and killing moves were either dodged by Wei Ziyan with bizarre body techniques or were taken head-on by him.

Jiang Zhe’s expression was somewhat unsightly; he hadn’t expected the person before him to be so troublesome. His Filthy Blood Divine Skill had evidently reached an unprecedented state that the sect had never known.

Jiang Zhe realized that a quick victory was very difficult now, and the only way might be to slowly exhaust this person to death!

He was about to remind his companions not to be reckless and to slowly drain him, but before he could speak, he saw Shen Qing on his side suddenly flash a blade and leave his defensive position, taking a tricky angle to stab at the back of the crimson skeleton’s head transformed by Wei Ziyan.

”Shen Qing! Fall back!”

Jiang Zhe shouted, sweeping his sword across.

But he was clearly a step too late. Just as Shen Qing’s blade stabbed out, the crimson skeleton with writhing blood threads abruptly turned aside, and a bone hand glowing red emerged from the floating blood strands, grabbing his blade. Then, another crimson skeleton hand slapped Shen Qing’s chest.

However, just as the crimson skeleton hand touched Shen Qing’s chest, Jiang Zhe’s sword swept across, forcing Wei Ziyan to retreat!

Yet, despite this, blood flowed from Shen Qing’s mouth, and he was sent flying! His long, narrow blade also went flying, spinning several times in mid-air before stabbing into the ground!

Shen Qing fell to the ground, his Primordial Qi in disarray for a moment. Ignoring the blood at the corner of his mouth, he immediately sat cross-legged to begin Qi circulation!

With Shen Qing retreating from the battle, the pressure on Jiang Zhe and the others suddenly increased, but they still exerted all their strength to keep Wei Ziyan tightly surrounded, preventing his escape!

After circulating Qi for a few breaths, Shen Qing suddenly flipped his hand, grasping a slender black jade box about the size of a palm!

What exactly this black jade was, no one knew, but it was obviously extremely cold!

When Shen Qing held it, waves of cold air spread around, and frost patterns instantly formed in the palm of Shen Qing’s hand.

With a serious look, Shen Qing opened the black jade, revealing three items inside, resembling candied hawthorn, round and about the size of a thumbnail, with a frosty surface and a faint blood-red color inside.

Grabbing one of these ”candied hawthorns,” Shen Qing popped it into his mouth and immediately continued to sit and circulate Qi!

Duan Rong stood there, looking at the long, narrow blade stabbed into the ground not far away; it was Shen Qing’s weapon!

By now, the evening sun was setting!

The crimson sunset bathed the blade, which seemed to be gilded, yet peculiarly glimmered with a faint phosphorescent glow.

”That is...” Duan Rong’s gaze shifted.

Shen Qing was a strong person in the Primordial Qi Realm. Ordinary iron could not withstand the violence of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, meaning that the weapon must be mixed with some rare materials not of this world.

Duan Rong took a few steps to the blade, pulling it from the ground.

Duan Rong examined the blade with focus, noting the strange glow it emitted. He thought to himself, ”Read the Artifact Spirit!”

Subsequently, a set of data appeared before his eyes.

Artifact: Phosphorus Crystal Gilded Saber

Artifact Spirit Tier: 8 Tier

Devouring Requirements: Host’s Spiritual Power Level 8

Devouring Effect: Six Harmonies Saber Technique First Level

Looking at the data panel before him, Duan Rong’s heart moved slightly. ”A Primordial Qi Realm martial art?!”

”Devour!”

Just as Duan Rong mentally uttered the word, Shen Qing, who was meditating and circulating Qi, suddenly opened his eyes.

The moment Shen Qing opened his eyes, he saw Duan Rong holding his weapon. His brow furrowed as he glared at Duan Rong.

A martial artist’s weapon is nearly taboo.

Duan Rong naturally noticed Shen Qing’s change in expression and saw the data panel before him already dispersing, indicating the Artifact Spirit had been fully devoured.

As the data panel vanished, Duan Rong tossed the weapon toward Shen Qing, calling out, ”Catch it!”

Shen Qing leaped up and grabbed his weapon, casting a grateful glance at Duan Rong before charging back toward Wei Ziyan in the melee! He thought Duan Rong had drawn the weapon just to throw it to him.

With Shen Qing rejoining the fray, the pressure on Jiang Zhe and the others significantly diminished!

Jiang Zhe, Shen Qing, Bai Yuan, and Lu Jin quickly found a rhythm to exhaust Wei Ziyan!

Every so often, one of them would leave the battle, sitting cross-legged nearby to circulate Qi and rest.

Duan Rong noticed that every time this happened, they would take out a black jade box and consume one of those ”candied hawthorn” like items.

Duan Rong was very curious about what those things were.

But Duan Rong was almost certain they weren’t pills, given their seemingly irregular shape.

Not long after Shen Qing rejoined, Bai Yuan exited the fray! Sitting cross-legged not far away, he closed his eyes to focus on circulating Qi!

Just as Bai Yuan left the battle, a chaotic sound of hooves, like rumbling thunder, suddenly echoed from around the walls of Xianggu City!

Soon, on West Main Street, the sound of hooves came like a sudden rain of hailstones!

Seven or eight heavy armored cavalrymen were seen galloping in!
