Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 373: Chapter 315: West River Slash

Ah!

Han Yu glanced around and was taken aback himself.

When he was knocked flying, he only thought it was a trick played by Ping, never expecting this strike to be so peculiar.

The snake heads, originally the size of well apertures, had shrunk to the size of cauliflower snakes at this moment.

”This is damn well my ability.”

The Artifact Spirit gritted its teeth, but unfortunately didn’t have the strength to climb up, and could only vent its frustrations continuously in the Sea of Consciousness.

As a genuine Artifact Spirit, it considered itself lively and cute, and being bullied by the main body daily was tolerable, even having its energy taken was bearable; even if Ping showed signs of recognition, it endured it.

But don’t go too far!

Even its abilities were being taken.

Han Yu was also somewhat incredulous; he touched the long knife in his right hand, which still passed through his hand, just a phantom image.

With a thought, the long knife turned into a key, and the Artifact Spirit seemed to regain strength.

The first thing it did upon getting up was rush at Ping, cursing angrily.

”Bastard, using me to make connections, huh!”

But after a few steps, Han Yu silently chanted, and the key turned back into a long knife, causing the running Artifact Spirit to instantly kneel again.

This...

Han Yu, utterly surprised, tried repeatedly, causing the Artifact Spirit to switch back and forth between running and kneeling.

”Damn you!”

The Artifact Spirit wore an expression of being utterly abused, swearing angrily.

Now, Han Yu finally believed that the authority had taken its power, so this new change in Ping was using Glass’s abilities.

This act of generosity from the Artifact Spirit was indeed Ping’s usual style, no wonder it wanted to show off; it was mainly to discomfort the Artifact Spirit.

In that moment of daze, the authority was up to mischief again, with an impulse rising from his right hand. Han Yu glanced at the heated battle in front, wondering if Ping wasn’t testing Glass’s patience, but was actually urging him to slay the creature?

”Don’t go.”

The Artifact Spirit, having finally reached Ping’s side, unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks, speaking angrily.

”Let me vent a bit first.”

Bastard, if you’re so generous, do it with your stuff, why use mine.

Ping didn’t care for this; regardless of Han Yu’s willingness, the authority dragged him out, and Han Yu quickly turned it back into a long knife. A swarm of black pythons came slithering over, and this time Han Yu focused intently, cleaving down with his knife again, the blade passing through the snake heads without causing any visible harm.

Yet, something eerie happened; the heads of the black pythons visibly shrunk, as if someone had drained them dry.

Han Yu quickly glanced at the Sea of Consciousness, wanting to see if there was any change, but inside was only the lying Artifact Spirit and immobile Ping, with no anomalies present.

Cleaving down several more times resulted in nothing except for turning the black pythons into finger-sized cauliflower snakes, with no other reactions.

”What’s going on here? Shouldn’t it be absorbing the opponent’s energy back?”

Han Yu spoke in the Sea of Consciousness.

If it had truly stolen the Artifact Spirit’s ability, shouldn’t it be absorbing all the opponent’s energy?

”Do you intend to reap without sowing?”

The Artifact Spirit lay in the Sea of Consciousness, speaking angrily.

Even Ping, even itself, everything required a trade-off to get something.

Good heavens, you dare imagine, slashing them and wanting to take something as well.

No wonder Ping favors you, you are even greedier than me.

”Didn’t you say you stole its ability? Surely there should be some feedback from that slash!”

Han Yu, utterly perplexed, felt as if he had drained the opponent, yet there was no feedback for himself.

”Perhaps you only acquired the stripping ability.”

Although the Artifact Spirit was unwilling to explain to this show-off with its ability, it couldn’t resist doing so.

It was merely stripping?

”That’s already absurd enough, you are actually stripping their life force.”

The Artifact Spirit never imagined its ability would one day appear in Han Yu’s hands, much less in this manner.

Seeing as the authority was urging again, Han Yu temporarily set aside all thoughts; understanding the role of the authority, he looked at this monstrosity again.

How was this a monster, it was clearly a fish on the chopping block.

”West River Slash!”

He burst forth with incredible speed, rushing past layers of dense black pythons, heading straight for the mountain body.

A slash sliced through!

The monster erupted with a horribly shrill scream, the places slashed by the long knife continuously shrank, even with an endless supply of energy, it was all to no avail.

The second slash!

Han Yu wielded his knife, circling the mountain body with a fierce slice.

This seemingly took away half of its life, causing the entire mountain to tremble violently, producing an extraordinarily exaggerated vibration, and then it erupted frantically, releasing countless black pythons to lash everywhere.

The twelve Elders of Nanli Sword Studio were the unluckiest, for though Han Yu struck the slash, this indiscriminate attack of the black pythons landed entirely on them, leaving them battered and blown away amidst the enormous outburst.

Xia Wuyou shone with a golden light at this moment, his body seemingly transformed completely into Copper Skin and Iron Bones. Facing the black pythons, he used himself as a sword, weaving back and forth, leaving the black pythons at their wit’s end against him.

However, the black pythons could endlessly regenerate, and for a while, he too couldn’t do much against them.

Just as he was about to use his trump card, Han Yu burst in mid-air, startling him.

He couldn’t comprehend how Han Yu achieved this; all he saw was bare-handed... no, it seemed like he was holding something, and as a man of Sword Dao, the gesture was unmistakenly that of wielding a knife, yet no knife was visible.

Moreover, with each swinging motion, even though the monster suffered no outward harm, it visibly howled in extreme agony.

A boy of mysteries!

After observing for a moment, Xia Wuyou grew increasingly shocked, as the mountain body was evidently shrinking.

In other words, Han Yu’s every attack was inflicting tremendous, irreparable harm on the creature.

At this thought, he immediately retreated forward and leapt up.

Coming to Han Yu’s side, he said, ”You continue attacking the mountain body, I’ll help clear other obstacles.”

”Alright!”

Nodding, Han Yu charged up to unleash a third slash.

Meanwhile, Xia Wuyou’s Spiritual Power and Divine Techniques intertwined, morphing into a massive longsword, cutting through the throng of black pythons with a fierce glint.

The mountain body seemed to have conceived a retreat, wanting to escape by heading into its shadow form. But how could Han Yu let it have its way, as nine White Dragons emerged from him, swirling before him, transforming him into a blazing sun, instantly burning the ground beneath crimson.

The ground, already illuminated by the Condensing Light Array, was highlighted further by Han Yu’s doing, compelling the mountain body to reveal itself again immediately upon attempting to escape.

Han Yu swooped downwards, bringing fiery heat, and plunged into the creature’s body...
