Chapter 2191 - 2191 2181 The Soulless Sword

2191: Chapter 2181: The Soulless Sword 2191: Chapter 2181: The Soulless Sword Long Yan was even more puzzled after hearing Chen Chen’s words.

The Dragon Tooth in his hand was clearly a saber; how could it be a sword?

Moreover, since he got the Dragon Tooth, it had always been a demonic saber.

It was only during his time with the Blood Shadow Sect that Long Yan personally killed the saber’s soul.

Yet, Chen Chen could tell at a glance that the Dragon Tooth had no saber soul, which was surprising enough for Long Yan.

“No need to be surprised.”

Chen Chen saw through Long Yan’s thoughts clearly, but Long Yan didn’t mind much and simply asked out loud.

“Senior, this Dragon Tooth is clearly a saber, why do you call it a sword?”

“Hahahahaha.”

After hearing Long Yan’s question, Chen Chen laughed loudly, praising the blade as one that was no less extraordinary than any divine weapons.

“Young man, you haven’t recognized its true nature.

It looks like a saber, but in reality, it’s a sword.”

As Chen Chen spoke, the red fluctuations around him began to intensify, and the red glow in his eyes grew stronger.

Long Yan wondered if Chen Chen was delirious, speaking nonsense.

If it weren’t nonsense, how could he point to the Dragon Tooth and say it was a saber?

“Do you think I’m talking nonsense?”

Chen Chen’s smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.

The matters of this world should not be judged by appearances alone; on the outside, it’s a saber, but its form is like that of a sword, mystifying to behold.

He was a person who had mastered sword techniques; it was impossible for him to confuse sabers and swords.

“A saber is the hegemon among weapons.

The so-called saber carries the momentum to cleave through everything, but I haven’t seen any of that in your saber technique.”

At Chen Chen’s stage, differentiating weapons could not be based merely on appearance; one must sense the weapon’s artistic conception in combat.

Long Yan’s saber technique, despite appearing bold and expansive, lacked any trace of dominance.

Instead, it had a quality of being unyielding, a clear sign of a sword.

Even though Long Yan was somewhat confused by Chen Chen’s words, there was a part of him that felt uncertain; he knew his weapon well.

Although the Dragon Tooth looked like a saber, using his cultivation, the Dragon Tooth should have shown greater power.

Yet, with the Magic Gun, the power of Dragon Tooth seemed lagging behind the current Long Yan.

It was just because it was handy that Long Yan would still use the Dragon Tooth against ordinary people, but if there were formidable foes, the Dragon Tooth could barely make an impact.

Long Yan had attributed this situation with the Dragon Tooth to its lack of a saber soul, but Chen Chen’s words today plunged Long Yan into deep thought.

It seemed he ought to find time to study his Dragon Tooth properly, since it had been with him since the beginning of his journeys, claiming no attachment would be a lie.

“Then, Senior, when can the Dragon Tooth show its true form?”

Long Yan, realizing Chen Chen understood these matters, asked this question.

This question took Chen Chen by surprise, but then a hint of pleasure flashed in his crimson eyes.

After all, what he had been saying was indeed hard to comprehend, but seeing how readily Long Yan accepted it made him quite optimistic about Long Yan.

However, regarding the Dragon Tooth, he had no good solutions at hand, only to wait until it wanted to show its true form.

For now, the first step for Long Yan should be to find a suitable sword spirit for the Dragon Tooth.

Everything has a spirit, and a sword without a Sword Soul isn’t complete and naturally won’t possess its true form.

After hearing Chen Chen’s words, Long Yan also gained some insights in his heart.

It seems that the true form of Dragon Tooth cannot be rushed in a moment.

At the same time, he noticed that the blood-red aura around Chen Chen was becoming increasingly intense.

“It seems that it’s time now.”

A trace of a bitter smile appeared on Chen Chen’s face.

The duration of his clarity this time was extended by his strong willpower, but it was of no use, as he eventually had to return to that state.

At the same time, Long Yan sheathed the Dragon Tooth in his hand, and a dazzling red light emerged from his right arm.

The Qilin Blood Demon Gun appeared in his hand.

“This weapon…”

A spark of clarity flashed through Chen Chen’s somewhat confused eyes.

So it was, possessing such a divine weapon, it was terrifying yet still a match for him.

His seasoned eyes instantly recognized the extraordinariness of the Qilin Blood Demon Gun.

Perhaps in these lost years, there could be someone who truly understood his pain.

Hope sparkled in Chen Chen’s eyes.

“Aow!”

The blood-red light around Chen Chen had completely retracted into his body, and a low roar without clear meaning emerged from his mouth.

At the same time, the only strand of sanity in his eyes snapped.

The sword, shimmering with a cold light, left only a trace in the air.

Even though Long Yan had been mentally prepared, his eyes still couldn’t keep up with the speed of Chen Chen’s sword.

A spark flew in the air, and only then did Long Yan realize that the previous exchange was hardly one-tenth of Chen Chen’s capability.

The sword was like a shooting star, reaching Long Yan’s face in an instant.

The in-hand Demon Spear fiercely collided with the tip of the sword.

With the power of the Qilin Blood Demon Gun, it barely deflected the meteor-like strike from Chen Chen.

Chen Chen’s entire body, as light as a bird, spun in the air, his sword aimed directly at Long Yan’s back heart.

At the critical moment, Long Yan suddenly swung the Demon Spear backwards.

In an instant, he felt a tumult of Qi and Blood throughout his body, and his True Qi involuntarily surged wildly.

Long Yan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The tremendous force from the sword was somewhat difficult for him to endure.

Long Yan pushed the Martial God Array to its limits, faintly hearing the roars of the five Sacred Beasts behind him.

“Vermilion Bird Secret!”

The two clashed fiercely.

Long Yan used the Eight Wastes Step to retreat backward.

Chen Chen, without any hesitation, chased in the direction of Long Yan, and with a fierce swing of his hand, the space around Chen Chen shattered inch by inch.

A sound like a mirror shattering filled the air; Long Yan’s strike had directly caused the space around Chen Chen to fracture, and the latter’s speed was very fast, escaping the initial position like lightning as the surrounding space shattered under terrifying pressure.

But clearly, Chen Chen was faster.

Even now in his madness, the deep-seated battle instinct ingrained in his bones was not to be underestimated.

In an instant, he discerned where the dangers lay.

His entire body, slick like a mudfish, wove through the Spatial Rifts, narrowly avoiding the cracks – his bizarre movements perfectly dodging all the Spatial Rifts created by Long Yan.

Seeing this scene, Long Yan’s face showed no change, his previously open right hand suddenly clenched.

“It’s not that simple.”
