Chapter 167: Life-bound Spiritual Sword Damaged
Before Wu Yuesheng could even catch his breath, a sudden change occurred.
Just as the corpse poison, which had been almost entirely burned away, let out a loud explosion, a burst of Earth Malevolent Qi hidden within it erupted, shattering the Crimson Flame Sword's spiritual light.
Wu Yuesheng's expression shifted dramatically, and he hurriedly summoned back his spiritual sword. Although the Crimson Flame Sword's blade hadn’t cracked, its spiritual essence was clearly damaged. The sword light had dimmed significantly compared to before, and Wu Yuesheng’s face showed deep pain and anger.
A life-bound spiritual sword was an object that a sword cultivator bonded with spiritual essence. Once damaged, it would become less agile, and its power would diminish. Although the Crimson Flame Sword wasn’t entirely ruined, the damaged spirituality would require Wu Yuesheng to nurture it for a long time to restore it. This would not only delay his cultivation but also consume a great deal of his energy.
Seeing this, Qin Sang was secretly startled. Without hesitation, he unleashed the full power of the Five-Elemental Breaking Sword, wrapping the spiritual sword in surging spiritual power to prevent the malevolent corpse from taking advantage of any openings.
Wu Yuesheng’s Crimson Flame Sword had almost been destroyed, and since the Five-Elemental Breaking Sword was far inferior in quality to it, if it were struck by the corpse’s claws, it might not even need the corpse poison to corrode it—it could be directly severed.
“Damn this vile corpse!”
Wu Yuesheng cursed angrily, not daring to use the Crimson Flame Sword anymore. He quickly withdrew it into his dantian to nurture it, then took out another spiritual sword from his Mustard Seed Pouch.
Due to the damage to Wu Yuesheng’s spiritual sword, the formation of the three was easily disrupted by the malevolent corpse.
