Han Ye no longer lamented the hardships of life. He began to search for precious light and a way out of survival in the darkness. He used the faint orange light on his body to search aimlessly. Suddenly, something flashed across his mind. Then, he felt that there was an inexplicable force leading him to the darkness on his left.
Should he go or not? In the end, Han Ye still decided to go because this was the only special clue in the darkness. If he went, he might face death, but he might even get a chance to live.
Han Ye carefully approached the mysterious force. After about twenty to thirty steps, Han Ye found a very strange object under the dim light of the Mystic Essence True Qi. The object was stuck in the ground and half of it was exposed. Its whole body was black, but there was a lot of fiendish and treacherous aura in it. Han Ye mustered up his courage and approached the black object. In this quiet and dark environment, a violent gust of wind suddenly blew, ruffling his long hair and making him extremely frightened.
However, Han Ye did not stop moving forward because of this. He steeled his heart and was determined to find out what was going on. Therefore, he quietly approached the black object. When he was only a few steps away from it, Han Ye finally saw the full appearance of the black object. At this moment, there was a black and lustrous greatsword. The part that was exposed to the ground was three feet long and five to six inches wide. From this, it could be seen that the entire body of this sword was about five feet long. It was a broad-bladed greatsword.
The black sword was really strange. The closer Han Ye got to it, the more excited it seemed. Han Ye could even feel the black sword making a buzzing sound, as if it was waving at him and calling him over.
Han Ye walked toward the mysterious black sword. At this moment, a voice echoed in his mind repeatedly."Pick it up... pick it up... pick it up..."
Before Han Ye could decide whether he should take the sword or not, his hand gently touched its body. This touch caused a change. Because Han Ye's Mystic Essence True Qi was only at the sixth stage, it would take some time for his wound to heal. Now that his injured right hand had touched the black sword, his blood had also stained the sword. As if it had received some kind of encouragement, the black sword immediately became active. It shook violently and let out a sharp sword whistle like a divine eagle. Han Ye was shocked by the black sword's spiritual action at that time. He subconsciously wanted to pull back his right hand that had touched the black sword, but the black sword did not seem to want to separate from his right hand. It actually released a mysterious and powerful force that firmly attached Han Ye's right hand to its body.
Han Ye had never been so panicked before. He widened his clear eyes and released a weak amount of Black Essence Genuine Qi from his right hand. He wanted to use his Genuine Qi to push the sword away, but the black sword was not only tightly sucking on his hand, but it was also constantly drawing blood from his wound. Han Ye felt the blood from the wound on his right hand being drawn into the black sword bit by bit. The sword gradually emitted a blood-red light, reflecting Han Ye's slightly pale face. It trembled violently, and it was unknown whether it was gratitude or an evil smile.
The paler Han Ye's face was, the more intense the black sword's blood light became. While it was absorbing Han Ye's blood, the black sword seemed to have also absorbed the blood essence of all the living beings in this area. When Han Ye's face was completely drained of blood, the black sword finally stopped. Han Ye sat on the ground weakly and looked at the black sword that was filled with spiritual power and rose high into the sky!
The red light from the black sword lit up the entire mysterious and dark area. Han Ye could finally see everything clearly. It turned out that this was actually a cave. The broken bones and broken branches on the ground piled up into a mountain, and he and Black Sword were in the middle of the bone mountain. Looking at the white bones on the ground, Han Ye thought that Black Sword must have absorbed the essence of many creatures. However, what surprised Han Ye the most was not just this. He looked up and saw colorful swords of all kinds hanging on the top of the cave. He did not know who did this, but thousands of precious swords were tied up with iron chains and hung on the top of the cave. Those swords were like a group of prisoners imprisoned by iron chains. They could only sleep with the black sword in the endless darkness, like a burial of the sword.
The black sword slowly rose to a height of ten feet. The red light was extremely bright, enveloping the swords and the people within. Then, the change began again. The swords hanging on the top seemed to have received some kind of command, and they all drew towards the black sword in the center. The iron chains that bound them were pulled by an invisible pulling force, making "Hua Hua" sounds. The pulling force between the black sword and the other swords grew stronger and stronger. Finally, with a crack, one of the Gigantic Ravager Swords broke free from the iron chain and flew towards the black sword. It circled around the black sword, and then, with a cracking sound, it became more frequent and louder. Countless swords broke free from the iron chain and followed the black sword. It was as if the stars were surrounding the moon, or as if a hundred birds were paying homage to the phoenix. Over a thousand treasured swords were rapidly flying and circling around the black sword. Under the pursuit of the swords, the black sword had an additional aura of an emperor and a supreme majesty!
Han Ye was stunned by the scene in front of him, but he did not notice that the Dragon Spring Sword at his waist was also shaking violently. Suddenly, this sword that had been with Han Ye for eight years rushed out of its sheath and flew straight to the black sword, finally joining the other swords.
"Dragon Spring Sword!" By the time Han Ye reacted, he could no longer grab the sword. He could only watch as the Dragon Spring Sword and the other swords held the Thousand Swords Festival together!
Han Ye had thought that the Dragon Spring Sword was just a " pilgrimage ", but what happened next shocked him and made him feel extremely regretful.
The swords flew around the black sword at high speed, gradually making a whooshing sound, and the swords began to heat up and turn red. Not long after, the swords all entered the red heat state, drawing gorgeous red arcs in the cave. The sword wind raised by the swords also blew the handsome man's black hair everywhere. Han Ye stood under the grand sword sacrifice and saw the thousands of sword light arcs become more and more dense, finally forming a huge red light circular wall. The black sword in the center spun rapidly in the air, and then the surrounding swords emitted red light beams, shooting onto the black sword. Thousands of red light beams shot onto a single sword, how spectacular!
The red light was no ordinary light either. Every beam of light represented the essence of a sword, the sword soul of a sword. Now that the sword soul was infused into the black sword, it slowly changed its appearance. Its color turned from black to dark red, and strange runes and patterns appeared on the sword. When all the light beams disappeared, the black sword had absorbed the power of the thousand swords. Unfortunately, the Dragon Spring Sword left behind by the King of Death had also turned into a red light and was sacrificed to the sword. How could Han Ye not be heartbroken?
When he thought about how the black sword had somehow absorbed his master's relic, Han Ye became a little anxious. He mustered his courage and approached the strange sword that was glowing with red light. After the strange sword calmed down for a moment, it suddenly burst out the spiritual qi contained in its body!
Whoosh! A huge wave of wind was heard, and a strong gust of wind burst out from the dark red sword, blowing the dead branches and leaves to the four sides of the cave wall. Han Ye raised his right hand to protect his face, desperately blocking the strange force that was constantly attacking him, and barely stabilized his body. However, the red and black sword had just released its power when suddenly, its entire body erupted with a red light that was a hundred times stronger than before, swallowing everything in the cave into the sea of red light. Han Feng was already blown by the strong wind like a small boat in a huge wave. Now that the strong light shone on him, he almost lost his sight.
Just like how babies cry when they are born, the dark red sword also has to howl and release its unfathomable power. Under the impact of the sword's spiritual power, the entire cave suddenly trembled violently. Han Ye had to raise his arm to block the strong light while stabilizing his posture in the huge earthquake.
How can a small hole be my shelter?
The dark red sword continued to release spiritual energy. Finally, with a rumble, the cave could no longer withstand such a terrifying power. In an instant, the several feet thick ceiling of the cave was blasted through by the blood-red pillar of light emitted by the dark red sword! At this moment, it was nightfall. The empty space in the dense forest suddenly exploded. Sand and gravel were thrown into the clouds. A majestic red light pillar that was thousands of feet thick shot into the clouds. In the dark night, even people who were thousands of miles away could see the phenomenon of red light soaring into the sky! When the red light hit the clouds, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the sky and earth lost their color. The flowing clouds gathered in the sky and formed a whirling vortex. The red light was surrounded in the center, like a huge pillar that stirred into the sea of clouds. The earth trembled at that moment, the sky gasped, and the nine heavens and ten lands were shocked!
On the other hand, Han Ye's vision was blocked by the strong light and he did not know what was happening outside. However, under such a terrifying power, he immediately thought of protecting Xue Yan. He would not abandon the lives of his companions. Fortunately, Xue Yan was not too far away. When the red light was released, he had already run to Xue Yan's side. When he used his body to protect Xue Yan's delicate body, the red light just happened to break through the ceiling of the cave! How insignificant was a human being in front of the power of the strange sword? How could he possibly withstand this destructive impact? When the loud sound passed, Han Ye felt a violent tearing sensation on his back. Then, his whole body started to heat up, and his consciousness became more and more blurry…
"Ah ~~~!"
The next morning, a sharp and panicked voice resounded through the entire forest. Xue Yan, whose face was flushed red, pushed Han Ye away from her embrace. She rolled her watery eyes and recalled everything that happened yesterday. Yesterday, she seemed to have been sucked into the crack to save Han Ye. But today, why was her clothes so tattered? Why was she wearing Han Ye's clothes? Why was Han Ye still hugging her?
The more Xue Yan thought about it, the more annoyed she became. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. The more she thought about it, the redder her face became. The more she thought about it, the more her heart moved. She sat sideways on the ground, clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and called out again, hoping to calm her agitated heart.
"What are you doing?" Han Ye sat up from the ground in annoyance. He frowned and said unhappily,""Why are you shouting?”
Xue Yan stared at the man in front of her. She gritted her teeth and tears welled up in her eyes. She did not say anything and only stared at Han Ye with her beautiful eyes. Her face was filled with resentment and righteous anger.
Han Ye felt uncomfortable being stared at by this girl, so he asked,""What's wrong with you?"
" How can you…" Xue Yanying's teary eyes were like flowing waves. She looked at Han Ye with resentment and helplessness and shouted at him,""How can you bully me! I risked my life to save you!"
Han Ye was puzzled and quickly asked,""When did I bully you?"
Xue Yan saw that this guy was still pretending to be obedient after getting a bargain. She couldn't help but widen her bright eyes and curse Han Ye with a red face,""Han! You're too shameless! You did such a thing to me last night, and you're still pretending to be stupid!”
Han Ye was stunned, but he smiled. He smiled very gently, without a trace of coldness. He said," Yan 'er, you've completely misunderstood..." Then, Han Ye told Xue Yan everything that happened last night. After that, he patted the dust off his body, tidied his tattered shirt and pants, and began to scan his surroundings with his eyes.
When Xue Yan heard Han Ye's words and saw that he had never been so gentle to her and even heard him call her " Yan 'er ", all her anger dissipated, leaving only a faint blush on her pretty face. She looked at the man standing in the wind, but there was a little gratitude in her heart. She thought that the two of them would die, but when they woke up, they were still fine. Wasn't this a miracle created by the man in front of her?
However, the two of them had been conversing and had not paid attention to their surroundings. When the two of them looked around, they were stunned by the scene around them. At this moment, the two of them were in a huge circular pit that looked like a pot lid. The pit was twenty to thirty zhang deep and had a diameter of at least a few miles. The sunlight shone in the huge pit, casting a dark shadow. A breeze blew in the huge pit, stirring up a vast cloud of dust.
Xue Yan did not witness the astonishing scene of the strange sword's " power " last night, so she naturally did not know how the deep pit was formed. She only stared at the " masterpiece " of the strange sword with wide eyes.
Han Ye looked around. He was trying to figure out how to get out of the huge pit, and he was also looking for the strange sword that had been showing off last night. He looked carefully and found the dark red sword ten steps away. The sword was lying quietly on the ground. It was dark red all over and covered in incantations, but its aura had been restrained a lot.
Last night, it was a naughty baby, and this morning, it was a sleeping child. The change was unexpected for Han Ye. He gently approached the sword, carefully grabbed it with his right hand, and lifted it up.
The strange sword was indeed a strange sword. It was such a big sword, but Han Ye felt that it was just right in his hand. Moreover, it did not emit any ferocious aura that worried Han Ye. That peaceful and intimate feeling made Han Ye's heart flutter.
Han Ye thought to himself, Strange sword. Now that my master's Dragon Spring Sword has become a part of you, and you're so powerful, why don't you follow me from now on? It was better than falling into the hands of other ill-intentioned people.”Han Ye gently stroked the strange patterns on the strange sword and found that it was a blunt sword. The two blades on both sides lacked the sharpness of ordinary swords. After thinking for a long time, Han Ye finally made a decision. He found a rope and tied the strange sword to his back.
Xue Yan was in a daze as she looked at the destruction around her when she saw Han Ye walking back with a strange dark red sword on his back. She could not help but ask,""Hey, dummy, where did you get this sword? It's strange."
" I'll explain it to you when I have time," Han Ye said calmly." Let's go up this giant pit first."”
Although the huge pit was twenty to thirty feet deep, with Han Ye and Xue Yan's lightness skills, it was not too difficult for them to climb up. Crawling out of the huge pit, Han Ye was greeted by a cold wind of early spring. Wearing a thin short shirt, he began to feel cold, so he subconsciously urged his Mystic Essence True Qi to resist the cold. He was shocked when he activated his Qi. It turned out that when the Genuine Qi surrounded his body, it had turned into a vermilion orange color. However, he had not refined Qi for the past few days. How could his Genuine Qi progress so quickly? Han Ye recalled what happened last night. He remembered that when he went to protect Xue Yan, his back was almost torn apart by a powerful force. His whole body was burning and he fainted. Could it be that he had increased his Genuine Qi at that time and reached the seventh stage?
Just as Han Ye was worrying, Xue Yan nudged his waist with her elbow and said,""Hey, you don't want your clothes anymore?”
Han Ye turned his head and saw Xue Yan still wearing his dark blue coat. The girl was looking at him with a pair of crystal clear beautiful eyes. Her face was unconsciously blushing, but she still pretended to look at the ground indifferently and said to him,"Don't say that this lady is unreasonable. I risked my life to accompany you, so it's only right for you to take care of me, so I won't say thank you.”Xue Yan then took off the clothes Han Ye had put on her and handed them back to him.
Han Ye took the clothes, nodded, and said solemnly,""Yes, it's rare for Yan 'er to think so highly of me. If you don't want to thank me, then don't say it.”
When Xue Yan heard Han Ye's words, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and laughed in her heart,""This big fool!"
However, Han Ye did not know what Xue Yan was thinking. He only put on the dark blue suit neatly and looked at the scene outside the pit. His eyes widened in surprise again. It turned out that outside of the huge pit created by the strange sword, the surrounding trees had fallen outwards with the pit as the center. It was as if they had experienced a storm-like calamity. The scene was really a little terrifying. And among the layers of trees that were falling outwards, Han Ye could faintly see a few men in black lying there motionless. They had probably met the King of Hell long ago. He thought about it carefully and realized that these people had come to look for him and Xue Yan last night. They had accidentally encountered the change of the Heavenly Sword and died here.
The strange sword had such destructive power, but it also wanted to protect Han Ye. This puzzled Han Ye. He touched the strange dark red sword behind him and thought,"Strange sword, strange sword, I, Han Ye, will bring you on your way. Is it a blessing or a curse?”
It was a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that could not be avoided. Since he had already brought it along, Han Ye didn't think too much about these questions and continued to move forward with Xue Yan...
After walking for about two hours, the surrounding trees did not seem to have fallen. Xue Yan was already feeling very hungry, so she asked Han Ye beside her,""Hey, dummy, you said you know the way to Yangzhou. At least tell me when we'll arrive, right?”
Han Ye slowly closed his eyes and could only tell the truth with a sigh,""Yan 'er, to tell you the truth, I originally remembered the way, but so many things happened yesterday, I don't know how to get out of this forest.”
Xue Yan heard the last thing she wanted to hear. She opened her watery eyes and asked Han Ye anxiously,""You mean, we might have to stay in this broken forest forever?”
"That's not necessary." "But I won't be able to get out for a day or two."”
"Sigh ~!" "In that case, dummy, let's eat something first, shall we?" Xue Yan frowned and sighed.”
Han Ye sighed and said to Xue Yan,"Alright, you go first…"
"Alright, go and catch two wild chickens for this lady first. You can catch them and kill them. Leave the rest to me.”Xue Yan had a glib tongue and forcefully spoke before Han Ye, which shocked Han Ye.
Seeing Han Ye's doubtful expression, Xue Yan raised her eyebrows and said,""What are you looking at? Hurry up and go!"
Han Ye had planned to cook personally, but he did not expect Xue Yan to know how to cook. He was curious and wanted to see how this delicate girl cooked. He listened to Xue Yan's words and caught two wild chickens. He plucked their feathers, cut open their chests, and removed their internal organs. Seeing that there was no water around, he washed them with Drunken Immortal Drink. When everything was done, Xue Yan had already prepared the fire rack and bonfire.
Han Ye skewered the chicken on a branch and asked Xue Yan,""I can do it all at once. Why do I have to do it separately?”
" That's why I called you a dummy!" Xue Yan stirred the fire with a fire rod and said with conviction," There's a need to pay attention to how to start a fire. You have to pick up fine firewood, and incense wood is the best. If you don't have an oven wall, start a fire to avoid the wind. From time to time, you have to adjust the fire to ensure that the flame is even and vigorous. We're already hungry. Can you handle all these things? Stupid fool!" Xue Yan said slowly. When she saw that the fire had gradually stabilized, she threw the poker aside and waved at Han Ye with a tone that sounded like she was inspecting and settling a case."Alright, bring those two chickens up to me!”
Han Ye smiled calmly and placed the stick with the two chickens on the grill. Then, he held the end of the stick and began to turn the chicken. When the chicken was roasted to a golden color, Xue Yan quickly shouted,""Stop!"
Han Ye did not know what Xue Yan was up to, but Xue Yan picked up the skewer and took out a small knife from her waist. She used the knife to cut the chicken meat layer by layer before putting it back on the grill. She waved her hand at Han Ye and said,""Continue." Then, she squatted down and watched Han Ye roast the chicken. Her bright eyes reflected the light of the bonfire.
Han Ye finally knew how much Xue Yan loved life. He couldn't help but smile and spin the chicken skewer for a while. Gradually, the chicken emitted a faint fragrance and a faint smell of alcohol. Oil dripped from the chicken and fell into the flames, igniting a seductive fire. As for Xue Yan, she had already prepared for the next step. She took out a few small bags from her body and opened them to take a look. They were actually filled with cooking spices!
"Turn slowly, this lady is about to start tasting.”
Xue Yan hummed a song briskly as she grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it back and forth on the chicken. Then, she grabbed a handful of cumin and sprinkled it gently on the chicken. She even asked Han Ye,"Dummy, do you like spicy food?”
Han Ye did not care about this and only nodded slightly. Then, he saw the girl miraculously take out a packet of chili powder and sprinkle it on the chicken. At this point, Han Ye could be considered to have prostrated himself in front of this girl. It was rare for his master Zhang Kuo to bring some salt when he traveled in Jianghu, but this girl actually wanted to move the stove over. He was really afraid that the Kitchen God would recognize her as his goddaughter when he saw her!
After a long time, the roast chicken was finally done. Xue Yan handed the roast chicken to Han Ye and smiled."Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Han.”
Han Ye looked at the roast chicken in his hand and saw that the skin was crispy, the chicken was golden yellow, and the skin was dotted with bright red spots. The chicken was emitting a strong meat fragrance. Just this color and fragrance alone made Han Ye feel that it was better than his and his master's cooking. Han Ye gently swallowed his saliva and bit the chicken. When his teeth touched the chicken skin, it was crispy. When his teeth bit the chicken, it was soft. Crispy but not burnt, loose but not light, from inside to outside, cooked just right. The fragrance of the chicken entered his mouth and lingered around his tongue three times, accompanied by the special deliciousness of cumin and chili. It was precisely the saying," A taste of fragrant chicken will not leave your soul behind."
Xue Yan sat at the side with her hands supporting her cheeks and her big, watery eyes staring at Han Ye. Seeing his happy expression when he ate the chicken, she felt gratified and satisfied. She smiled, revealing two dimples, and said to Han Ye,"How is it? It's awful, isn't it?"
"No, Yan 'er has really broadened my horizons today. I didn't expect roast chicken to be so delicious.”Han Ye bit the chicken and drank the immortal wine to his heart's content. What else could a man ask for?
"Actually, I liked cooking when I was young. Master always praised me for my ingenuity.”Xue Yan frowned and sighed." After Master left, he had no one to rely on. He could only cook often to pass the time. Of course, he also learned a lot from others when he traveled the martial world.”
" Food is not a problem now," Han Ye looked at Xue Yan." But what about water?"”
Xue Yan raised her eyebrows and blushed."Don't force me to drink again! I won't drink the wine you've drunk before! Rotten drunkard!"
Just as Han Ye was in a dilemma, he looked at the roast chicken in his right hand and saw the Flowing Jade Ring on his right hand along the tree branch. He couldn't help but smile...
