Chapter 419: Thunderous Sword Energy
Chapter 419: Thunderous Sword Energy
"This sword energy anomaly seems rather interesting."
A snow-white dragon, formed from countless strands of sword energy, flashed past in front of Lu Chen.
Among the numerous beast-like sword energy anomalies he had witnessed, most were ordinary tigers and leopards that failed to spark Lu Chen's interest.
However, the one before him exuded a sword energy far more potent than the previous ones, and its form was extraordinary, arousing Lu Chen's curiosity.
Green light emanated from his feet as he abruptly sped up, swiftly pursuing the snow-white dragon shadow.
As he drew closer to the dragon shadow, Lu Chen surveyed his surroundings before pouncing like an arrow toward the white dragon.
Sensing Lu Chen's movement, the sword energy dragon violently flicked its tail, causing countless snow-white sword rays to surge toward Lu Chen from all directions.
While the various sword energies within the Sword Pool did not actively attack Sword Hall disciples carrying sword fruits, it did not mean they would allow the disciples to act wantonly. They would retaliate when faced with disciples attempting to subdue them.
Lu Chen brandished his Wind and Thunder Sword, and the deep black sword energy swept like a hurricane, clashing with the snow-white sword rays and enveloping many of them before destroying them with ferocious might.
The snow-white dragon shadow had developed a trace of sentience. Finding Lu Chen extremely difficult to deal with, the shadow dispersed into countless minute sword rays, its body dissipating into the myriad sword energies.
"Trying to escape?"
"Sheath, for your own happiness, lock onto it."
Lu Chen conveyed a thought to the Spirit Nurturing Sword Sheath, which possessed far stronger sentience than the previous snow-white dragon shadow. Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the sheath trembled slightly, freeing itself from Lu Chen's waist and pointing toward a direction.
Moments later, Lu Chen traversed the myriad sword energies and located the snow-white dragon that had reformed.
The dragon shadow was hiding in a dusky cave, effectively concealing its form.
Despite the darkness within the cave, Lu Chen, who had cultivated the Eye Technique, could see everything clearly.
Deep within the cave, a snow-white sword hovered silently in the air. Its color resembled the bright moonlight, but it was engulfed by the endless darkness, preventing its dazzling sword body from being revealed.
Within the Sword Pool, Lu Chen dared not use the White Bone Devil Puppet to lure it out and could only rely on his robust physical body to subdue the snow-white flying sword.
The snow-white dragon shadow, hiding in the shadows, sensed the danger and let out a low hum, transforming into a gigantic illusory flying sword that viciously stabbed at Lu Chen.
With incredible speed, it appeared before Lu Chen in an instant.
Unfazed, Lu Chen clasped his hands together, directly catching the gigantic flying sword shadow.
He had consumed countless spiritual fruits to enhance his physical body and cultivated superior body-refining techniques like the Liuli Danggu Fa and the Tai Xu Hua Long Pian. When he caught the flying sword shadow, his palms didn't even sustain the slightest scratch.
Tremendous force surged from his hands toward the sword energy shadow, shattering the dragon shadow into countless minute sword rays that scattered in all directions, leaving countless fine sword marks on the cave's stone walls.
Witnessing this, Lu Chen approached the snow-white flying sword and gently picked it up.
The sword was entirely snow-white, about three feet long, and its hilt was adorned with tiny scales that extended all the way up the blade.
"Let's see how this flying sword fares against the sheath."
The snow-white flying sword thrust forcefully into the rustic sword sheath.
At the sheath's opening, a thin layer of spiritual energy blocked it symbolically, but the flying sword penetrated it directly, all the way to the sheath's deepest point.
Ever since he had obtained the Spirit Nurturing Sword Sheath, Lu Chen could inspect its detailed status by infusing it with sword energy. Seeing the snow-white flying sword inserted into the sheath, he concentrated his mind on the rustic sword sheath.
Spirit Nurturing Sword Sheath, unknown treasure, extremely strong sentience, forged from extraterrestrial sword stone...
"A fourth-grade Fish Dragon Sword..."
Lu Xuan murmured to himself.
Through the detailed status of the sword sheath, he learned about the origin of the snow-white flying sword that was inserted into the sheath.
"A fourth-grade flying sword is quite good, but should I use one of my two chances on it?"
Lu Xuan was quite satisfied with this fourth-grade Fish Dragon Sword. After all, although he had quite a few fourth-grade sword talismans, he only had one flying sword of the same grade, the Wind and Thunder Sword, which showed how rare fourth-grade flying swords were.
"I don't have the natural attraction of Jian Wuxia, and I mainly rely on my own strength to tame flying swords. Dealing with a fourth-grade flying sword shouldn't be a problem."
"More importantly, I have the support of the Spirit Nurturing Sword Sheath."
"The sword sheath is extremely sensitive to the sword energy anomalies derived from sword artifacts and can sense their location, saving me a lot of time in searching."
"After finding the sword artifact, I can also insert it into the sword sheath to gain detailed information about the sword. This is another advantage."
"With my strength and unique advantages, there's no need to rush and confirm my choices for the two chances I have."
Lu Xuan thought to himself as he decided to temporarily give up on the Fish Dragon Sword in his hand.
He slowly drew the snow-white flying sword out of its sheath, and as he pulled it out completely, the faint sword energy seemed to stretch like silk.
"I don't ask for eternity, just for having once possessed it."
"Experiencing a new flying sword is also quite interesting."
"I'll find you an even better one later."
Lu Xuan promised the rustic sword sheath reluctantly.
A dim snow-white dragon shadow flew out from the sword body, coiling around the Fish Dragon Sword before disappearing back into the darkness.
Lu Xuan left the cave and continued to weave his way through the endless sword energies, his body bent low.
After walking for half an hour, he encountered several more flying swords during this time, each with their unique strengths and of the same grade as the Fish Dragon Sword. However, none of them fully satisfied Lu Xuan, so he let the sword sheath experience them before separating from them.
Suddenly, a burst of thunderous explosions rang out by his ear.
The peals of thunder seemed to contain a power that could subdue all evil, and within the reverberations was a hint of Zen, like the sound of a Buddhist subduing demons, filled with compassion and thunderous might.
The Spirit Nurturing Sword Sheath trembled violently, reacting strongly to the sound.
Impatient to discover the source, the sheath led Lu Xuan forward to search for the sword artifact behind the thunderous sound.
"Such a strong reaction. Do you like this type of sword that appears dignified but makes quite a ruckus?"
Lu Xuan speculated to himself.
One burst of thunderous explosion after another competed to blast apart the air, seemingly trying to block Lu Xuan's path.
However, as his body was not tainted by any evil aura and his cultivation was purely enhanced by the light spheres, there was no opportunity for evil influences to intrude, so the thunderous sounds had little effect on him besides causing his blood energy to vibrate.
With his robust physical body, he quickly calmed the vibrating blood energy.
Soon, Lu Xuan, guided by the rustic sword sheath, found a silver-white short sword.
Delicate golden patterns adorned the short sword, resembling endless thunderbolts.
He inserted the silver-white short sword into the Spirit Nurturing Sword Sheath and instantly gained detailed information about the sword.
【Thunderclap Sword, a fourth-grade flying sword, forged from a meteorite from beyond the heavens and refined with secret Buddhist techniques. When unsheathed, it can unleash sword energy that resonates with thunder, a mighty and overwhelming force imbued with Buddhist power, particularly effective against evil creatures and cultivators.】
