Novel Full Chapter 54: The Law Of Reincarnation
After hearing Qi Ming mentioned the sword style he was using, Ao Jian was stunned.
“Who are you?” Ao Jian asked boldly after putting away his red sword.
Qi Ming smiled, “Is it that important to know who I am? Since we are both cultivators, then this netherworld creature…”
“Impossible, it’s mine!” Ao Jian interjected Qi Ming coldly.
“It’s a tie between us. Moreover, I was the one who discovered it first.”
Ao Jian did not reply this time. The red Spiritual Sword in his hand turned into twinkling lights and re-formed behind his back. Then, Ao Jian reached out both hands to release a skill, where green and blue Spiritual Swords at his back flew out and rested in the grip of his hands.
“A tie? You’ve underestimated me!”
Qi Ming was helpless against Ao Jian’s attitude. Ao Jian was truly from the Ao family for his bad temper.
However, Qi Ming was not planning to give up. He did not want to walk away from the opportunity of finally coming across a netherworld creature.
Resuming the fight, Qi Ming was surprised to discover that Ao Jian’s sword style had totally changed. He kept changing the weapon in his hand and his style became more offensive and complicated. It was unpredictable, sometimes as aggressive as scorching fire and sometimes as cold as ice, making it hard for Qi Ming to defend.
Again, Ao Jian got close. Qi Ming backed off as he tried to control the Yin soldiers to block the attack. However, he saw the Nine Spiritual Swords behind Ao Jian detaching from his back simultaneously and charged toward him as Ao Jian pointed his fingers at him!
Qi Ming was not expecting him to use Sword Manipulation.
The Yin soldiers in front of him were torn apart at once, but the Spiritual Swords did not slow down. Then, Nine Spiritual Swords penetrated his body all at the same time.
The scene before his eyes started to fade away. Ao Jian just glared at the fallen torso, turned around and walked toward the netherworld creature.
In the meantime, the Nine Spiritual Swords in his body vibrated slightly and returned to Ao Jian’s back automatically before neatly arranging themselves into a fan shape.
Ao Jian had not used his full power from the start in the fight against Qi Ming.
Initially, he was just using the Ao Family Sword Style. However, after knowing that Qi Ming was also a cultivator, he realized that the Ao Family Sword Style would not be effective against him. So, he decided to change his attacking strategy by using Jian Chou’s Demonic Sage of Ten Swords and ended the battle easily with his Sword Manipulation.
Seeing the power of Demonic Sage of Ten Swords, Ao Jian seemed calm outwardly but he was extremely excited in his heart. He knew that he had chosen the right path and that he was truly the mightiest swordsman. If he continued to comprehend, he would become a sword master one day!
Even though he had never seen Jian Chou in person, Ao Jian had long considered him as his respected teacher. He was determined not to disappoint Jian Chou’s inheritance and become the greatest swordsman!
Aside from leveling up, another important reason he wanted to get the netherworld creature was realizing the importance of soul coins as he gained gaming experiences. Even Ao Jian, who regarded wealth as unimportant, had the desire for soul coins.
This was because other than enhancing the strength of his Spiritual Swords and leveling up, materials could be added to further increase the power of his Spiritual Swords.
There were a lot of materials being sold at the auction house, but one must have sufficient soul coins to purchase them.
The lowest price a netherworld creature could sell for was 100 soul coins. So, Ao Jian could not resist the temptation of getting a free netherworld creature.
Ao Jian was delighted now but Qi Ming who was logged out of the game got shell-shocked.
“Ao Jian, you little brat! You have angered me!” Qi Ming who had usually been easy-going and expressionless was experiencing a turbulent mood swing now.
This was the first time he met someone who showed him no respect at all and even cut him to death.
Qi Ming was still afraid when he recalled the scene of the Nine Spiritual Swords penetrating him at the same time.
“Sword Manipulation? That was definitely not the Ao Family Sword Style. Did he inherit those skills in that world?”
Thinking of this, a fire of passion was aroused in Qi Ming’s heart. If he can get it, why can’t I!?
What Qi Ming did not know was, during his battle with Ao Jian, an inheritance in the Spirit Summoning Palace within the Artifact Channel was resonating. However, at the moment before the inheritance befell, he was slashed to death by Ao Jian and was forced to leave the game.
If Qi Ming knew that his inheritance was interrupted by Ao Jian, his level of hatred would have escalated beyond just snatching a creature and killing him.
……
Lu Wu and Bei Li also left God’s Eye after Qi Ming died.
Due to the appearance of cultivators, Lu Wu paid quite some attention to Ao Jian. He did not expect to see such a battle while observing Ao Jian.
To his surprise, Qi Ming was also a cultivator.
Lu Wu did not understand what was happening. Why did all these hidden cultivators show up one after another? Lu Wu was worried that they had found out the truth behind Battle Online.
However, regarding this, Bei Li had asked Lu Wu not to worry one bit.
First of all, these cultivators would be marked once they had gathered any Yin Body in the artifacts. Betrayal would mean death. Furthermore, Battle Online was considered as a game in the world of the living. No matter what, they would not be aware of the existence of the underworld.
Lu Wu raised his doubt regarding Bei Li’s explanation. What if there was a cultivator who could travel between the Yin and Yang? If that cultivator met one of the players, everything would be exposed.
“You do not have to worry about this. Traveling between the Yin and Yang was something only the Earth Deities could do. There is no such powerful cultivator of that level because of the degrading soul energy in the world of the living. The Earthly Deities that once existed had already left and would not come back anymore.”
“Where did they go?” Lu Wu was curious.
Bei Li pointed at the sky and stuck her tongue out.
Lu Wu, “What?”
“Oh yes, there is one more problem. If a player met an extremely strong deity in the underworld, can the battle artifacts protect their soul from de-attaching?”
Lu Wu’s worry on this issue could be seen from his eyes.
Lu Wu was not worried at all if he encountered someone on Du Yan’s level. However, after knowing that there were deities in the underworld, he was scared that some audacious players would approach them and gave it a try to dance on the verge of death.
“Wu, do you know what materials the battle artifacts are made of?” instead of answering directly, Bei Li questioned Lu Wu while looking at him with a serious face.
Lu Wu shook his head.
“The Supreme Law of the underworld, reincarnation, is very intricately related to the battle artifacts. Wu, I cannot tell you the exact relationship between them now, but you have to understand that you don’t have to worry about this. No matter how strong a deity is, he is not above the law. No one can be above the Supreme Reincarnation!”
Hearing her explanation, huge waves started rolling in Lu Wu’s heart. More doubts arose in his heart. Why the old ancestor, a mere King of Beiqi would be involved with the Supreme Law of Reincarnation? Moreover, what is Bei Li’s true identity? Why does she know all of this…
However, he once said that he would trust Bei Li. So, he would wait until the day Bei Li tells him the truth!
