Clang!

Qin Chen and Ji Ruoyue fell to the ground, their bodies shaking in pain, while two treasured weapons dropped beside them—the mysterious rusty sword and the sealed sword.

At this moment, after leaving the Sword Intent Tower, the mysterious rusty sword and the sealed sword suddenly became quite ordinary, no longer possessing the terrifying power they once had.

Simultaneously, a buzzing sound echoed in the sky, and the colorful sword intent from the Demon Sword inheritance vanished in an instant. The entrance of the Demon Sword inheritance above the Sword Intent Tower also concealed itself in the void, completely disappearing.

It was as if it were avoiding some kind of plague.

Qin Chen and Ji Ruoyue stood up. Although they found the hasty closure of the Demon Sword inheritance somewhat speechless, a deep sense of shock filled their hearts.

They survived.

They finally survived.

This time, the Demon Sword inheritance, which was thought to be just an ordinary inheritance, unexpectedly encountered such a terrifying crisis. A bit more, and both of them would have perished inside, silently and without a trace.

Thanks to the sealed sword and the mysterious rusty sword.

“Sealed Sword, from now on, you are the only divine weapon for me, Ji Ruoyue. Rest assured, one day I will restore you and let you shine with your ancient glory, living up to your name!”

Ji Ruoyue held the sealed sword tightly, her gaze resolute.

At this moment, the sealed sword emitted a dim light, as if it had suffered a severe illness, its vitality greatly diminished.

Divine weapons have spirits and can certainly be damaged. This time, the sealed sword was damaged not in its material or its runes but in its sword spirit.

A divine weapon must have spirit to be truly called a divine weapon.

In contrast, the mysterious rusty sword still appeared very simple, yet Qin Chen did not dare to underestimate it. This sword, being able to fight against the Demon Sword, was definitely not ordinary.

Combined with what happened in the Supreme Sword Path, Qin Chen felt grateful for the mysterious rusty sword, while also growing slightly wary.

“Since we have met, it must be fate. I trust you, and if you assist me, one day I will take you to soar through the Nine Heavens and reign over the world.”

Qin Chen held the mysterious rusty sword, speaking softly, his voice a gentle whisper, as if speaking to the sword and also to himself.

If the mysterious rusty sword had a spirit, it would surely understand his determination.

“And that Demon Sword!”

Qin Chen looked up at the black tower behind the Demon Sword Square. The ancient tower stood there, undisturbed, but Qin Chen knew full well what kind of terrifying existence was sealed within.

What made Qin Chen even angrier was the actions of this Demon Sword, which seemed like a heavenly inheritance, attracting countless swordsmen to fight for supremacy.

In reality, it was a dead end; the truly top swordsmen would become lost in the domain of sword cultivation, turning into mediocre talents. If they ventured into the seventh layer, they would leave no bones behind, becoming nourishment for that Demon Sword.

This sword was a demon!

“One day, I, Qin Chen, will return and re-enter the seventh layer of the Sword Intent Tower, suppress you, and seek justice for today!”

Qin Chen said coldly, his gaze firm. Although there was only one Demon Sword in that high tower, the Demon Sword possessed a spirit, akin to life itself, how could Qin Chen easily let it go?

At his current level, he could not contend with it, but one day he would become strong enough to fear nothing, and he believed that day was not far off.

“Chen Shao!”

Suddenly, a soft voice called out, and it was You Qianxue rushing over towards Qin Chen.

At this moment, the Demon Sword Square was in chaos due to the abrupt end of the Demon Sword inheritance. Everyone was still in a daze, unsure why they had been suddenly teleported out.

They were all still dizzy and disoriented.

“Remember your vow.” Seeing You Qianxue arrive, Qin Chen reminded Ji Ruoyue, then walked towards You Qianxue.
