It’s either I completely destroy the opponent, or the opponent devours me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no possibility of coexistence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, tapping his fingers lightly in the air a few times, binding those Evil Sword Spirits in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then, with a bit of interest, looked at the Sword Spirit and asked, \"Tell me in detail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Spirit’s somewhat childish voice sounded again: \"To speak in detail, we must talk about the difference between Sword Spirit and Evil Sword Spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although both are Sword Spirit forms, their purposes are completely different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sword Spirit is the purest embodiment of Sword Intent, aiming to enhance the Sword Cultivator’s Sword Dao cultivation, nurturing them into a Sword God, without any evil thoughts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In contrast, the Evil Sword Spirit’s mission is to devour Sword Cultivators to forge a Sword Demon. Both have different purposes but need Sword Cultivators, so they are in a competitive relationship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When talking about Evil Sword Spirit, the Sword Spirit expressed disgust in its childish voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng touched his chin, curiously asked, \"So if you kill these Evil Sword Spirits, will you improve?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Spirit’s voice had a tinge of excitement: \"Yes, yes, yes, I can become stronger, I can evolve, and I belong to the purest Sword Spirit. Even a normal attack can inflict more than ten times the damage to Evil Sword Spirits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It paused for a moment, seemingly hesitant about whether to tell Xia Feng the detailed situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng clicked his tongue lightly, and then the Sword Spirit quickly said, \"But if you let the Heaven-Burying Sword attack the Evil Sword Spirit independently, it can quickly catalyze the birth of its own Sword Spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Spirit’s voice carried a bit of awkwardness, but it still revealed the method of stimulating the Heaven-Burying Sword to nurture a Sword Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng glanced at the Divine Sword in Li Qingxue’s hand, then at his own Heaven-Burying Sword, and suddenly flicked the sword’s body lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heaven-Burying Sword emitted a slightly dull sword sound, seeming to respond to Xia Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng turned his head and glanced again at the Divine Sword in Li Qingxue’s hand, speaking softly: \"These five are up to you. If we encounter more later, we’ll see the situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Sword in Li Qingxue’s hand was exceptionally joyful, its light suddenly increased by several yards, a cyan and white beam of light pierced directly out of the Divine Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five Evil Sword Spirits bound by Xia Feng were directly melted inch by inch when they encountered these cyan and white sword beams, like encountering a nemesis that restrained them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They screamed madly before dying, emitting extraordinarily piercing shrieks, making Xia Feng’s mood slightly irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Spirit promptly shouted, like a beam of light breaking through the sky, directly dispersing the irritation in everyone’s hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Spirit’s childish voice sounded again, filled with excitement and a slight fatigue: \"These Evil Sword Spirits are best at deceiving Sword Cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The screams they make when dying affect the Sword Cultivators’ minds, making people agitated, unable to think normally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Xia Tianming and Li Qingxue both had their faces become somewhat serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had heard the screams just now; if it weren’t for the Sword Spirit breaking that atmosphere, the two of them would definitely have been greatly affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important thing for a Sword Cultivator is the state of mind; if the mind is chaotic, what good Sword Technique can be used, wouldn’t they be waiting to die in vain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng didn’t take it to heart much, even though the screams made him a little irritable; it was just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To try to deceive Xia Feng, devour him, and turn him into a Sword Demon, the Evil Sword Spirit doesn’t have the capability yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the Sword Spirit, whose glow became more dazzling, hesitantly asked, \"Do you have a name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Spirit was stunned, hesitating for a moment before asking doubtfully, \"Sword Spirit is my name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng didn’t say more; at this point, there is only one Sword Spirit, so calling it Sword Spirit is fine. Later, as the Heaven-Burying Sword is likely going to give birth to a Sword Spirit too, then calling it Sword Spirit may not clarify whom he is referring to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingxue quickly realized Xia Feng’s intent, thought for a moment, and said, \"Let’s call it Xiao Xue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lifebound Divine Sword and Qingxue Sword form a set; the name given then was Snow Fall Sword, calling it Xiao Xue is just right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Spirit seemed to want to say something in defense, but Xia Feng and Li Qingxue settled the matter with just a few words, not letting the Sword Spirit continue to struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Sword Spirit doesn’t have a gender, so any name would do; if not for distinguishing from the future Heaven-Burying Sword, Xia Feng wouldn’t have thought of giving it a name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xue muttered a few complaints quickly, then soon adjusted its mood, speaking excitedly, \"I can sense many Evil Sword Spirits over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are we going to kill Evil Sword Spirits or continue exploring along the normal route?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since entering Evil Sword Valley, Xia Feng and the others had been moving straight, constantly going deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding environment was exceptionally dark, and Xia Feng and the others didn’t have a map of the inside, so they had no idea if the route they were taking was the correct one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the surroundings, still unable to see anything beyond in the distance whether it was the exit of Evil Sword Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet thinking about the difficulty of the first challenge, he reckoned the second challenge assessment wouldn’t just be about finding the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there is an inseparable relationship between the Sword Spirit’s evolution and the Evil Sword Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not knowing where to find such a good opportunity again after leaving, he didn’t hesitate much and asked, \"Point out the direction of the Evil Sword Spirits for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xue’s voice contained a hint of excitement: \"Three hundred meters southeast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without delay, Xia Feng turned his team towards the southeast to head out, while Li Qingxue, a bit worried, inquired, \"Won’t this delay the second challenge assessment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng smiled: \"It’s okay, Evil Sword Valley is bigger than we expected. Exploring more might give us some clues to pass the challenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingxue hesitated for a moment, looked around at the dark surroundings, about ten meters around until beyond which nothing more could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng’s words made sense, Li Qingxue was just a bit concerned earlier that Xia Feng’s turning to explore the surroundings was to evolve her Sword Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>",1221,"2026-06-05T22:57:42.810Z",1,"novelbin.me","147a1a8ab65fdecff7dc523f010abc004041b93fe610d7c7a02810f487e0fa37","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-481","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-479",634,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-cover.jpg"]
