Chapter 37: Doubt

The sword hummed like a dragon's roar, shooting straight into the clouds.

Hearing this sword hum, the Sect Master of Taiqing Palace's expression changed drastically.

"A sword hum like a dragon's roar—does a mortal sword possess spirituality?"

The Sect Master of Taiqing Palace was contaminated by the Canglong Stone; he was different from those contaminated by other Strange Treasures.

He understood more.

The Canglong Stone could be considered a true Strange Treasure.

Whereas the Dao Sword, Extreme Spirit Pearl, and the like were merely items contaminated by the Canglong Stone that had gained some spirituality.

At this moment, the long sword in Lin Ping's hand had actually emitted a sword hum like a dragon's roar.

According to the information obtained from the Canglong Stone, the Sect Master of Taiqing Palace knew this was because the sword had birthed a Sword Spirit or a Sword Soul.

Any sword that has birthed a Sword Spirit can be considered a true treasure.

It was fundamentally different from those eleven contaminated Strange Treasures.

Even in the other world mentioned in the information from the Canglong Stone, a sword with spirituality was an extraordinary treasure.

This person before him actually possessed a treasure of this level?

Looking at the Sect Master of Pijia Sect, the Sect Master of Qingyu Sect, and others, they did not know as much as the Sect Master of Taiqing Palace.

They had no idea what the sword hum meant.

At this moment, their hearts were shaken.

If it were someone from Lin Chao's own era, they likely wouldn't have much ink in their bellies and would only say, "Holy shit."

"Who exactly are you?"

The Sect Master of Taiqing Palace was shaken.

Originally, he had thought Lin Ping's confidence came from the Dao Sword recognizing its master.

With the fortune of the Canglong Stone present, a Strange Treasure like the Dao Sword, which only possessed spirituality due to contamination by the Canglong Stone, was nothing at all.

But now, this person held a sword that possessed spirituality.

How could this not leave the Sect Master of Taiqing Palace inexplicably shocked?

"The one who will kill you."

Lin Chao did not waste words.

His figure flashed rapidly, and with one sword strike, he slashed across the neck of the Sect Master of Taiqing Palace.

The Sect Master of Taiqing Palace had no reaction at all.

Although he was a Grandmaster, in front of Lin Chao, he was still like a chick.

However, a sneer appeared on the face of the Sect Master of Taiqing Palace.

As the sword landed on his neck, a layer of white mist emerged from it.

Following that trail of white mist, Lin Chao's sword could not pierce in even a fraction.

"Even if you have a spirit sword, so what? Heaven's mandate is with the Cang, I am invincible!" The Sect Master of Taiqing Palace laughed wildly, his face full of joy.

He waved his hand and attacked Lin Chao.

A smile appeared on Lin Chao's face: "Is that really so?"

Sword Soul!

Lin Chao possessed a talent named Sword Soul.

When he held a sword, he could endow it with a Sword Soul.

This Sword Soul was what the Sect Master of Taiqing Palace perceived as a Sword Spirit.

In fact, a Sword Soul and a Sword Spirit are different; it is another kind of thing.

A Sword Soul signifies the soul of the Sword Dao.

The sword is a sharp weapon, upright and unyielding, preferring to break rather than bend.

When the Dao Sword was endowed with a Sword Soul, it was no longer a mundane sword, nor was it a spirit sword.

Instead, it was a true emperor among swords.

The bonus the Sword Soul provided to Lin Chao was by no means small.

Just like the Gun Soul of the past, which allowed a mortal, Heize, to face thousands of troops; the Gun Soul's enhancement to Heize played at least a fifty-percent role.

The current Lin Chao was not a mortal, but an Extraordinary Person.

Using the Sword Soul, the power he unleashed was even stronger.

"Please die!"

Lin Chao repeated this sentence again.

He did not use "Lord," but "you."

In his view, the Sect Master of Taiqing Palace was not worthy of being called a lord at all.

As the sword swept past, the soul of the Sword Dao on the Dao Sword awakened.

In an instant, the Sect Master of Taiqing Palace was decapitated.

Lin Chao sheathed his sword, his movements like flowing water.

An expression of admiration appeared on Mo Fengxue's face.

As for Huang Xianyuan, the Sect Master of Pijia Sect, and others, their expressions were complex, half surprise and half shock.

The experts from Dragon Hall, the Tailiang King's Mansion, and Mituo Mountain, seeing the Sect Master of Taiqing Palace die, fled one after another.

Zhang Daolin of Beihan Hall, who had already defected to Lin Chao, attacked the other experts at this time.

Before long, following the death of the Sect Master of Taiqing Palace, these Extraordinary Persons also fell one after another.

Lin Chao looked at the corpses on the ground, his gaze calm: "Ten days from now, I will go to Kyoto to Slay Cang Jun."

After Lin Chao finished speaking, he held his long sword and left.

The others looked at Lin Chao with unreadable expressions, a sense of shock rising in their hearts.

……

Returning to the real world, a look of curiosity appeared in Lin Chao's eyes.

"Does Lin Ping truly exist?

Did I forge history, or am I merely walking along the trajectory of history?"

Lin Chao pondered.

If he changed history, what would happen?

Or perhaps, he had never changed history, but rather, he created history?

This involved many profound and mysterious questions.

At this moment, Lin Chao could not figure it out at all.

Just then, Zhao Xiaoyi at his side spoke: "Brother Lin Chao, do you want to go to the Sanji Martial Arts Hall with me tomorrow? It's very fun there.

I recently learned a new martial art, and it feels quite good. Do you want to go learn it?"

Lin Chao shook his head: "No, I am going to Feijiang City tomorrow; I have things to attend to."

The Feijiang City of this time was the original Dajing.

To alleviate the doubts in his heart, he had specifically buried something in a place in Dajing.

"What a coincidence?" Zhao Xiaoyi was slightly stunned, "Sister Xiaorou is going to Feijiang City tomorrow."
