Chapter 2257: Chapter 2277: Master of the Sword, Another Big Shot’s Projection Arrives!_1

"Are you done yet? I’m almost in pain to death!"

"Almost there, just hold on a little longer!"

In the midst of Chi Zai’s agonized roar, Lin Chen finally injected another fierce burst of Sword Qi, hitting the last and most critical node.

As this burst of Sword Qi struck, the entire Sword Talisman seemed to transform into a sun blazing with intense radiance, and then, incredibly, it separated whole from the blade and eerily floated up.

Lin Chen’s eyes widened in surprise.

Based on his understanding, if a house’s supporting points were destroyed, the house should collapse immediately. The Sword Talisman’s internal structure’s key points had been damaged by his Sword Qi, so it should have shattered straight away.

Why did it start to fly?

As the Sword Talisman detached from the Giant Sword, the previously glowing myriad lines on the sword dimmed instantly, and the severely howling Chi Zai suddenly stopped, his voice filled with delight.

"Is it released?"

Lin Chen stared at the floating Sword Talisman, his gaze wary. After all, there was a vast gap between his strength and that of the Sword Talisman’s creator. If the Sword Talisman underwent some kind of phenomenal change, he might not be able to withstand it.

Light converged on the Sword Talisman, which swiftly took the shape of a human figure.

Lin Chen blinked. Another projection?

Lin Chen had already witnessed such a scene in the Yin Yang Realm, having conversed with the projection of True Person Tai Xu across the void. Now was he going to meet the owner of that sword?

The figure quickly became clearer, revealing a handsome young man.

The Young Man’s gaze fell on Lin Chen, sizing him up briefly before he began to speak with a smile, "A body of Sword Bone, fused with the Seed of Abnormality, quite interesting..."

Once again having the many secrets within his body seen through at a glance, Lin Chen had become numb to it.

The disparity in realm and strength was immense. In the eyes of the other, he was as exposed as if he wore no clothes.

No, not wearing clothes simply meant that one’s body was visible. However, what the other saw was not merely his body, but through to his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, through to his very core.

Lin Chen bowed in respect: "Junior Lin Chen, I have seen the Senior!"

The Young Man’s eyes fell upon the back of Lin Chen’s hand as he showed respect, where Tai Xu had left a mark on him.

"Huh, I sense a familiar presence; what is your relationship with Tai Xu?"

Lin Chen replied candidly, "I do not know Senior Tai Xu personally, but I have entered the Yin Yang Realm he constructed, claimed the Yin-Yang Spring he preserved, and thus had a conversation with him, followed by making an agreement. This mark is for Communication with him."

The Young Man smiled slightly, "Can you tell me the agreement between him and you?"

Lin Chen responded, "To find an object. The specifics, I cannot disclose."

The Young Man nodded without further query but instead asked, "The Sword Talisman, have you figured it out?"

Lin Chen answered honestly, "I can only say I’ve roughly understood it. There are still many refined aspects I’m unable to comprehend. I had originally planned to ponder over it for more Days but seeing Chi Zai in so much pain, I thought to release the Sword Talisman earlier to spare him from further suffering."

The Young Man nodded in approval, "Kind-hearted you are. Years ago, Chi Zai exterminated a Sect of my subordinates. There was a reason for it, so I did not kill him. I suppressed him here, letting him endure the pain of Suppression as punishment... Chi Zai, are you convinced?"

Chi Zai’s sullen voice echoed from the sea bottom, "I can’t defeat you; I have to accept it."

The Young Man smiled indifferently at Chi Zai’s response, not taking it to heart, "I am the one who suppressed you. If you make progress one day, feel free to seek me out for a battle. But if you harbor resentments and seek revenge on others, then the next time I find you, it will be more than just Suppression."

Chi Zai answered, "Once I become a Saint, I will come for you."

Turning from Chi Zai, the Young Man looked at Lin Chen once more, "Since you unfettered the Sword Talisman, we can be considered fated. Since you say you haven’t fully grasped the Sword Talisman, I will bestow one upon you. Take the time to study it when you can."

The Young Man raised a finger to trace in midair, as lines of a bright Sword Talisman promptly lit up in midair.

Drawing talismans out of thin air!

Lin Chen’s eyes widened, staring intensely at the Young Man’s Actions, not wishing to miss the slightest detail!

This was a Grandmaster level live demonstration!

Perhaps to ensure that Lin Chen could see clearly, the Young Man’s Talisman drawing was not fast, yet the fluidity and delicate balance were so profound that Lin Chen was utterly captivated and deeply moved.

It was still Sword Talisman drawing, but while Lin Chen had been copying for several months, his technique seemed rudimentary compared to the expert at work!

Lin Chen quickly realized that the Sword Talisman being drawn by the Young Man was different from the one he had previously unraveled. This one seemed more complex, and Lin Chen was momentarily unable to grasp its function.

Soon, the Young Man completed the drawing of the Sword Talisman. With a tap of his hand, boundless spiritual power surged like a converging River into the Talisman, as if a Black Hole resided within the Sword Talisman.

Once the spiritual Qi was nearly absorbed, the Young Man waved his hand casually, and the Sword Talisman turned into a stream of Golden Light, shooting directly towards Lin Chen.
