Chapter 1359

"Get in."

Zi Chen's eyes were filled with ruthlessness. Then, he controlled the Netherworld Black Hole to envelop the black-robed battle spirit.

The latter didn't seem to have expected that Zi Chen would have such a method. Before it could react, it was swallowed up by the Netherworld Black Hole.

On the other side of the Netherworld Black Hole was Zi Chen's real world.

Once he entered the real world, Zi Chen believed that the battle spirit's combat strength would be greatly reduced. As for killing him there, he should have a high chance of success.

Seeing the black-robed battle spirit being taken away, Zi Chen let out a sigh of relief.

A moment ago, the pressure he felt was too great. Thus, after trapping the black-robed battle spirit, he wasn't in a hurry to kill it. Instead, he took out the scabbard he picked up.

"Is having a scabbard so amazing? I have one too." As Zi Chen spoke, he took the black saber and was about to insert it into the scabbard.

As the saber was inserted into the scabbard, Zi Chen felt a resistance. This resistance was a bit strong. Zi Chen suspected that there was some rust left in the scabbard, so he poured a wisp of yin and yang energy into it. Then, with great difficulty, he returned the black saber to the scabbard.

However, just as he returned it to the scabbard, Zi Chen felt the scabbard in his hand begin to tremble. It was like a strength was awakening within it.

The frequency of the scabbard's trembling became faster and faster, as if it wanted to break free from Zi Chen's hand. Zi Chen's eyes flashed. He already felt that the scabbard was extraordinary, but he didn't expect it to be something good.

His face turned cold once more. At the same time, he shouted, "Behave yourself."

From his body, an extremely rich strength emerged. This strength was like flowing water, covering the entire scabbard.

With the suppression of this powerful strength, the frequency of the scabbard's trembling finally decreased, as if it were slowly submitting to Zi Chen.

After the scabbard stopped trembling, the rust on the surface of the scabbard began to fall off layer by layer. The rust fell to the ground, and the entire scabbard returned to its original color. This was a pure black scabbard. There were no markings on it, and it looked very simple.

However, the scabbard was a little big. It was not suitable for the saber in Zi Chen's hand. Just as this thought surfaced in his mind, Zi Chen felt the scabbard tremble again. Just as Zi Chen thought the scabbard was about to lose control again, he saw the solid scabbard start flowing like liquid.

And this kind of flow seemed to be more compatible with the long saber.

In just a few breaths, the scabbard in Zi Chen's hand had changed, perfectly matching the long blade in his hand.

"It's so magical." Looking at the scabbard that fit perfectly, Zi Chen's eyes lit up.

This scabbard was indeed a treasure. It could even change its appearance on its own. Zi Chen loved it so much that he could not put it down. Suddenly, Zi Chen had a feeling that he had seen a similar scabbard somewhere before.

"Isn't this the scabbard of the battle spirit?"

Zi Chen reacted, and his eyes instantly widened. The scabbard's appearance was almost the same as the one in the black-robed battle spirit's hand.

This discovery surprised Zi Chen. He held the long saber in his left hand and placed his right hand on the hilt, slowly exerting force.

Wave after wave of force poured into the hilt, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea. The hilt did not react at all. The scabbard and the hilt seemed to become one at this moment.

Just as Zi Chen was fiddling with the scabbard, the entire world seemed to be incomparably quiet.

In this silence, there seemed to be a hint of deathly stillness.

Zi Chen did not notice it at first, but gradually, he felt that something was wrong.

This was because the surroundings were too quiet. It was so quiet that there was no sound of people or breathing. The strangest thing was that Wu Xie, Man Shi, and the others were not speaking.

He did not believe that Wu Xie had been chopped to death with a single slash.

Wu Xie naturally did not die. He stealthily activated his undying body and stood up once again. However, just like everyone else, he held his breath and did not even dare to take a deep breath. Their gazes were currently looking to the front, at the spot where Zi Chen was standing.

More accurately, they were looking at the indifferent figure standing behind Zi Chen.

Just a moment ago, when Wu Xie activated his undying body and stood up, he saw Zi Chen suddenly become ruthless and directly use the corporeal space to store the other party.

The latter was so powerful that Zi Chen was undoubtedly taking a risk by doing so. But what was done was done, and no one could stop him.

What they could do next was to let Zi Chen return, and then everyone would enter the corporeal space to jointly eliminate the black-robed battle spirit.

This was naturally a good idea, but before they could act, they saw the black-robed battle spirit that had just disappeared reappear.

And the place where he appeared was right behind Zi Chen.

His left hand was still holding the scabbard. Although his right hand was not on the hilt, he was ready to attack at any time.

The black-robed battle spirit was facing Zi Chen with his back facing the others. But at this moment, no one dared to warn Zi Chen.

They were well aware of how powerful the other party was. If they rashly spoke, they would definitely disturb the other party. If the other party cut down Zi Chen with a single slash, the gains would not make up for the losses.

Therefore, even though their hearts were already in their throats, they still did not warn Zi Chen. They all chose to shut their mouths and hold their breaths.

And just like this, everyone watched the black-robed battle spirit, while the black-robed battle spirit watched Zi Chen fiddle with the scabbard.

The black-robed battle spirit saw the changes that occurred to the scabbard. There seemed to be an additional emotion in his indifferent eyes because of this.

He poured a formidable strength into the scabbard, but he still couldn't pull it out. Zi Chen was a bit annoyed, but soon he discovered that the atmosphere around him was a bit strange.

Then, Zi Chen looked down at his feet. He had stepped on a shadow, and from the appearance of this shadow, it should be a person.

Zi Chen looked up once more. His forehead was covered in cold sweat. His left hand held the scabbard and his right hand rested on the hilt. Then, slowly, little by little, he moved his body backwards.

Wu Xie and the others were also nervous to the extreme because of Zi Chen's movement. They were afraid that a dazzling light would appear and Zi Chen would be cut in half by the scabbard.

Fortunately, such a scene didn't occur until Zi Chen successfully turned around.

As Zi Chen turned around, he also saw the pair of cold and indifferent eyes. His forehead was covered in cold sweat and the back of his robes had long since been soaked in cold sweat. Just as he realized that something was wrong, he had already used his spiritual sense to sweep the real space and discovered that there was no trace of the black-robed battle spirit.

"You … how did you come out?"

Zi Chen asked, his voice trembling. It was unknown whether it was from nervousness or fear. After enveloping the other party in the real world, he had used his spiritual sense to sweep through the area and found that the other party was indeed inside.

But in the time it took to flip the scabbard, the other party had disappeared. How did he come out?

Breaking through space.

This was simply impossible because Zi Chen would have sensed it. Moreover, Zi Chen's space had a great origin. It wasn't something that an ordinary person could break through. Of course, even an ordinary person might not be able to break through it. Silently breaking through it was even more impossible.

The black-robed battle spirit's indifferent eyes flashed with a touch of color. He looked at Zi Chen and indifferently said, "I thought you would directly rush up to take the treasure. I didn't expect you to take out the scabbard."

"What do you want?"

Zi Chen nervously asked. He didn't immediately hide in his own real world space because he didn't feel any killing intent from the other party. But more importantly, he was worried about the safety of Wu Xie and the others.

He was well aware of how strong the other party's methods were. Once he hid in his real world space, Wu Xie and the others would immediately be killed.

And at that time, how many people would he be able to save?

The corners of the black-robed battle spirit's mouth curved up, as if he was laughing. "You're holding my things and you're asking me what I want. Don't you think it's funny?"

Zi Chen looked at the scabbard in his hand and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He said, "This thing is yours. I can return it to you, but now I can't pull out my saber."

The black-robed battle spirit's eyes flashed with even more emotion. He mockingly said, "If you could pull it out, I'm afraid you wouldn't be speaking to me with such an attitude."

"Then how can I return the scabbard to you?" Zi Chen nervously asked.

A trace of melancholy suddenly appeared on the black-robed battle spirit's face. He sighed and said, "Since you've picked it up, I'll give it to you. But with your current strength, you won't be able to pull out this saber."

"Then I'll have to thank senior. Can we go now?" Zi Chen asked again. He was very afraid of the black-robed battle spirit in his heart.

"Let's go. You don't want the thing up there." The other party pointed at the ball of light in the sky.

Zi Chen looked at the other party, his expression uncertain. Clearly, he didn't know what the black-robed battle spirit meant, or what the other party wanted to do.

"Don't worry. The moment you picked up the scabbard, I decided not to kill you. Don't you find it strange? I'm only a third grade war spirit, so why can I speak and have such powerful strength?"

Zi Chen was certainly puzzled, but he didn't dare ask.

"My memories are awakening little by little, and my strength is also awakening little by little. Even if it's just a little, it far surpasses a third grade war spirit." The black-robed battle spirit smiled.

"Senior's memories have been awakened. That's truly worthy of celebration." Zi Chen seemed a little excited.

In fact, this was all an act because he didn't know what would happen to a battle spirit after its memories were awakened. Moreover, this had nothing to do with him.

As if seeing Zi Chen's insincere words, the black-robed battle spirit smiled and said, "Forget it, you won't understand even if I explain. It's rare for my memories to be awakened, and this is also thanks to you picking up the scabbard. I'll give this to you. Although it's only an imitation, its strength isn't weak. If fate wills it, we'll meet again."

After saying this, the black-robed battle spirit dissipated in front of Zi Chen. But, his carefree and excited laughter still echoed between the heavens and earth.

"You're from the Thunder Clan, right? Go straight in from here. If your luck is good, you'll be pleasantly surprised."

The insufferably powerful black-robed battle spirit had actually disappeared like this. And as it disappeared, a spiritual thought sounded out in Zi Chen's spiritual sea.

Zi Chen subconsciously took the scabbard and saber that the black-robed battle spirit handed to him. His mind was still in a trance.

As for Wu Xie and the others, they were clearly shocked by this scene. They had no idea what had happened. After seeing Zi Chen turn around, the black-robed battle spirit exchanged a few words with Zi Chen, then gave him the saber and then disappeared.

Weng.
