Chapter 129: The just and dignified you, deceiving the limping Guo Qing
[After all, every talent the simulator has given you before had some flaws.]
[You used to think that if you couldn't eliminate all cultivation systems, you could still rely on other systems to fight.]
[But now, that idea has been shattered.]
[In the past, you would never have imagined that one day you would hope the talents given by the simulator had flaws.]
[However, no matter what, you are safe now.]
[Although you have turned into a mortal, the Heavenly Profound Sword has also become mere ordinary iron, which is to your advantage.]
[As for the Sword Spirit Guo Qing?]
[Well, he is becoming more and more ethereal, as if he is dissipating.]
[Seeing this, you ponder for a moment and come up with some ideas.]
[You think that since this is the Mortal Realm, something like a Sword Spirit shouldn't exist!][So, the Sword Spirit would be expelled from the sword, and once expelled, it's just a soul entity. How can that be considered a mortal?]
[If you don't retract the Mortal Realm, you can already foresee Guo Qing's fate.]
[At this moment, the Sword Spirit Guo Qing seems to understand his situation as well.]
[Instead of panicking, he bursts into laughter: "I never thought I'd see the owner of the forbidden path 'Extinguish Law' with my own eyes."]
[Upon hearing Guo Qing's words, you instantly understand that this must be the name cultivators use for the Mortal Realm talent!]
[Indeed, the term "Extinguish Law" is quite fitting for the Mortal Realm.]
[After laughing for a while, Guo Qing's expression turns cold, and he speaks again: "But do you think this means you've won against me?"]
[As soon as he finishes speaking, you see Guo Qing forming various hand seals continuously!]
[As he continues to form seals, flames begin to rise from his ethereal spirit body.]
[He is using the technique of burning his soul.]
[Although you haven't learned similar techniques, you can sense danger from Guo Qing.]
[But why can he still use techniques within the Mortal Realm?]
[In an instant, you think of two possibilities.]
[One is that Guo Qing was originally at the Great Principal Golden Immortal level. Although he is now weakened and can be restricted by the Mortal Realm, if he goes all out, he might still have a way to break free.]
[The second possibility is that the Mortal Realm has a flaw, and that flaw is that it doesn't restrict soul techniques?]
[You now pray that it's the first possibility.]
[Otherwise, the effectiveness of the Mortal Realm will be greatly diminished.]
[After all, you haven't learned any soul techniques yourself.]
[If the talent's flaw is that it doesn't restrict soul techniques.]
[Then in future battles, when you use the Mortal Realm, you'll have to see if your opponent has learned soul techniques. If they have, you're done for.]
[It will only make you die faster.]
[As you are lost in thought, Guo Qing has already finished forming the seals. He looks at you and says, either we perish together, or you let Little Xue go!]
[Hearing this, you are speechless: "Come on, buddy, can't you ask me if I'll let her go before using the soul-burning technique as a threat?"]
[Despite your complaints, you feel a bit relieved after hearing Guo Qing's words.]
[After all, you had already thought of a set of arguments, but you were afraid Guo Qing would act before you could speak.]
[Now that there's room for negotiation, it plays right into your hands.]
[You are pleased in your heart, but your face remains expressionless.]
[You speak disdainfully to Guo Qing: "A bunch of cowards who cling to life, threatening a cultivator of the Nine Mystic Realm like me. Why don't you go fight the villains of the Immortal Realm!"]
[Just now, you recalled all the information chains.]
[You believe Guo Qing should be a righteous person with the Nine Mystic Realm in his heart.]
[His master Bai Moyu took Bai Ruoxue and others to hide, but he stayed in the Southern Regions.]
[Plus, various pieces of information before have proven that Guo Qing is someone who opposes the Immortal Realm.]
[And, you just saw the words on the Heavenly Profound Sword.]
[Previously, you didn't understand their meaning.]
[But thinking back now, you have a bold idea.]
[That is, Guo Qing chose to become the Sword Spirit of the Heavenly Profound Sword himself.]
[As for the reason, you speculate that Guo Qing might know some hidden truths, such as the Nine Mystic Realm being weaker in terms of weapons and treasures compared to the Immortal Realm, so he willingly transformed into a sword.]
[Of course, this is just a guess. It could also be that Guo Qing was severely injured and then transformed into a Sword Spirit to continue fighting the Immortal Realm.]
[But no matter what, this is your breakthrough point.]
[That's right, you not only want to protect yourself, but you also have your eyes on the Heavenly Profound Sword.]
[After hearing your words, Guo Qing's eyes burn with even more anger. He never expected that after fighting the Immortal Realm to the death, even becoming a Sword Spirit to continue killing enemies after death, someone would call him a coward.]
[But you pretend not to see it and continue: "What? Are you angry out of shame?"]
[You point at Bai Ruoxue and say to Guo Qing: "She and her sect are hiding in the south of the Southern Regions, enjoying peace and abandoning the Nine Mystic Realm and countless compatriots. I found it displeasing, so I beat her up. So what?"]
["I didn't kill anyone, which is already merciful!"]
[After speaking about Bai Ruoxue, you look at Guo Qing again: "And you, as a Sword Spirit with great power, hiding in this godforsaken place, not daring to join the battle, and you have the face to talk about perishing together with me?"]
["If that's the case, then come on!"]
["I, Jiang Yifeng, fear nothing!"]
[Your continuous words are righteous and awe-inspiring!]
[For a moment, Guo Qing is stunned.]
[He reflects, thinking he might have been wrong.]
[He understands the situation of his junior sister Bai Ruoxue, who was indeed forcibly taken to hide by their master Bai Moyu.]
[Although it wasn't his junior sister's intention, outsiders wouldn't know that.]
[So, if his junior sister got beaten because of this, it seems they can only blame their master Bai Moyu, not you for being angry.]
[And what about himself?]
[After becoming a Sword Spirit, he has been thinking about choosing a qualified master.]
[He believes only a master who is extremely excellent in all aspects can wield him and fight against the Immortal Realm.]
[But thinking about it now, it seems he was wrong, putting the cart before the horse!]
[If he had chosen a master earlier, maybe they wouldn't have reached the Immortal Realm, but they could have killed countless enemies and reduced some pressure on the Nine Mystic Realm!]
[Guo Qing is bluffed by your words and keeps reflecting on himself.]
[After a long time, the flames on Guo Qing's soul gradually extinguish. He looks at you with some shame and sighs softly: "Sorry!"]
[Afterwards, Guo Qing hesitates for a long time and tells you he wants the Heavenly Profound Sword to recognize you as its master.]
[After all, you are the owner of "Extinguish Law," such people are rare; even though he is a disciple of the great Bai Moyu, he has only heard of such people, never seen one.]
[Moreover, he had already noticed your cultivation and age; someone of your age with such cultivation proves that your talent is exceptionally good, and he thinks you are barely qualified to be his master.]
[Plus, your words just now also enlightened him. The Nine Mystic Realm has been weak for a long time, and waiting without recognizing a master is not a solution!]
[In short, Guo Qing has been completely fooled by you.]
[Of course, maybe it's because he has been a Sword Spirit for too many years without interacting with people, making him a bit naive now!]
