Chapter 750 - 313: Split in Two
"That’s not right, it seems it’s not a complete ancient treasure; the power isn’t that great."
Chu Ning looked at the black short saber continuously absorbing Situ Yan’s Magical Power at that moment.
He found that its power was not as strong as the Yellow Court Seal he had previously activated.
In fact, it was somewhat similar to the white small dagger used by Ge Liuyang in the past.
"An incomplete ancient treasure?"
Chu Ning had a momentary guess, and his eyes slightly focused.
Even though this ancient treasure’s power didn’t seem as mighty as a complete one,
it was still an ancient treasure nonetheless.
If his Five Elements Spirit Sword had been fully refined, perhaps he could contend against this incomplete ancient treasure.
However, right now, it was too risky.
If the few Spirit Swords he had just refined were damaged, the loss would be too great.
Chu Ning still had the Yellow Court Seal, but naturally, he should avoid using an ancient treasure unless absolutely necessary.
Fortunately, he also had other means.
"It’s you who forced me to use this treasure! Chu Ning, I’ll grind your bones to dust."
Situ Yan’s eerie voice came, no longer showing any trace of goodwill, but filled with sinister malice.
"You don’t know how much it costs me every time I use this treasure."
Situ Yan’s eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Chu Ning.
Accompanied by the demonic qi exuding from his aged face, he looked like a demon from the Nine Netherworld Hell.
This time, he truly hadn’t expected to easily obtain the Spiritual Clarity Fruit from Chu Ning.
But because he was forcibly using a Secret Technique to slow down the consumption,
every Magical Combat significantly drained his Essence and Life Span.
That’s why he initially thought of obtaining the Spiritual Clarity Fruit from Chu Ning first.
After condensing a Nascent Soul, he would seek trouble with Chu Ning again.
However, what Situ Yan didn’t expect was that Chu Ning feigned friendliness, ultimately leading to this step of Magical Combat.
Even though Situ Yan always believed that he could kill Chu Ning despite his exploits of slaying numerous Tier Six Demon Beasts at the valley entrance,
with his Magical Treasure, Demon Technique, and Ghostly Body Technique,
killing Chu Ning didn’t seem like a difficult task.
Yet, unexpectedly, he ended up being pursued by Chu Ning, forced to use this trump card ancient treasure.
For him, this was an enormous drain, cutting nearly 30% off his remaining Life Span.
"But for the Spiritual Clarity Fruit, it’s all worth it!
Once I condense a Nascent Soul, these will no longer be issues!"
At that moment, Situ Yan’s eyes sparkled with a ghostly light, and after completing the Magical Power infusion, he waved his hand casually.
The black short saber ancient treasure immediately erupted with a skyful of black light, shooting towards Chu Ning.
At this moment, the Giant Sword, formed by Chu Ning’s four Spirit Swords, also shot out.
However, instead of facing the black light head-on, it flew directly upwards, leaping over the black light, slashing towards Situ Yan.
Seeing this, Situ Yan was slightly taken aback.
Then the old demon simply activated several Talismans on his body and continued to drive the ancient treasure short saber toward the black light.
Given the attack speed of both at this moment, he had absolute confidence that the black light short saber could strike Chu Ning before the Giant Sword cut down.
Even though the item in his hand couldn’t unleash its full power, it was far from something a Golden Core Cultivator could withstand.
Even Nascent Soul Cultivators could not easily block it.
By then, an ownerless Giant Sword would naturally cause him no harm.
Activating several high-quality Defense Talismans was due to his battle-hardened prudence.
At that moment, the black short saber carrying a skyful of black light reached within ten zhang* of Chu Ning.
What shocked Situ Yan immensely was.
At this time, Chu Ning raised his right hand.
Then five ice-blue Sword Auras shot forth!
In an instant, in front of Chu Ning, it was all ice-blue!
Even though Situ Yan was so far away, he could still feel the suffocating chill in the air.
And the power of each Sword Aura was enough to make someone with Golden Core Cultivation tremble.
"Nascent Soul Cultivator!"
Seeing these five Sword Auras, Situ Yan couldn’t help but exclaim in shock!
This was absolutely the powerful spell only a Nascent Soul Cultivator could cast.
And just now, he did not see Chu Ning use any Magical Treasure or Talisman.
He only saw Chu Ning raise his hand and unleash such a powerful spell.
This was clearly something only a Nascent Soul Cultivator could do.
Realizing this, Situ Yan couldn’t help but shudder, instinctively wanting to turn and flee.
But it was too late!
The five ice-blue Sword Auras had already met the skyful of black light emitted by the black short saber.
In an instant, the ice-blue Sword Auras directly suppressed the black light.
The black light scattered, revealing the black short saber body as dark as ink.
The next moment, the ice-blue Sword Auras heavily struck the black short saber.
The first ice-blue Sword Aura was shattered upon contact.
Then came the second, third...
Finally, when the fifth Sword Aura struck, the black short saber finally exhausted its power, losing its dark inky radiance.
Then, just like Situ Yan’s previous Magical Treasure, it was knocked down and fell to the ground.
"Slash!"
Simultaneously, Chu Ning’s Magical Treasure Flying Sword had reached above Situ Yan’s head.
With a light shout from Chu Ning, it slashed down with boundless power!
Situ Yan at that moment wanted to use the remaining trace of Magical Power to cast spells and escape.
But then he realized he was completely locked onto by the approaching Giant Sword’s aura, his body surrounded by the Power of the Five Elements, with no escape possible!
