Chapter 1231 - 1085: Soul Extinguishing Sword

"I was too careless!"Shi Potian breathed out a mouthful of turbid air. He hadn't approached that stone pillar before because he knew there was a sensing array beneath it.

Once they got too close to the stone pillar, it would automatically activate a Defensive Light Shield to protect it.

And the resentful spirit on the stone pillar would awaken at this opportunity and launch an attack on them.

Earlier, he only sensed the presence of a resentful spirit on the stone pillar, but it wasn't until the spirit unleashed its full combat power did he recognize its true identity.

"Everyone, use ice magic to seal them!"

Shi Potian exhaled heavily, and with a wave of his right hand, a Sword Qi, condensed from Rule Power, quickly formed in his hand.

At the moment when other martial artists sealed a cremation resentful spirit, he swiftly sent that Sword Qi into its body.

Just as the cremation resentful spirit was about to break through the ice seal, the sudden Sword Qi instantly reduced its body to ashes.

Those martial artists who witnessed Shi Potian's action turned pale and were taken aback in their hearts.

They had tried various ice magic attacks, but they found they could only seal the cremation resentful spirit and couldn't destroy it.

But now they watched as Shi Potian's Sword Qi obliterated the previous cremation resentful spirit completely.

Their eyes widened, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Some even rubbed their eyes vigorously to check the stone pillar where the cremation resentful spirit was.

After a while, they confirmed that the cremation resentful spirit on that stone pillar was indeed reduced to ashes.

Seeing the actions of those martial artists, Shi Potian snorted coldly at the corner of his mouth.

He noticed Duan Gujin standing beside him, and a thought struck him, so he decided to teach Duan Gujin the secret technique he just used.

"Brother Duan, the situation is critical now. I have a secret technique to teach you that can help you quickly eliminate resentful spirits. Do you want to learn it?"

"Yes!"

Duan Gujin responded promptly.

"Alright, I'll teach you immediately!"

Shi Potian immediately taught Duan Gujin the secret technique he had just performed.

After listening, Duan Gujin practiced for a while and quickly mastered the secret technique.

"This is the Soul Extinguishing Sword!"

Duan Gujin thought for a moment and finally recalled the name of the sword technique.

"That's right, it's the Soul Extinguishing Sword. This swordsmanship is designed to restrain resentful spirits or residual souls! I've only learned the most useful move, and the others I haven't fully learned. This swordsmanship consumes a lot of Spiritual Power, so I estimate you can only perform the Soul Extinguishing Sword twice. Be careful and don't use it lightly!"

Shi Potian answered.

"I understand!"

Duan Gujin had heard of the Soul Extinguishing Sword before. He knew this swordsmanship was a lost art, and only some fragments of it remained in this world.

While the Soul Extinguishing Sword was most effective against resentful spirits or residual souls, it was almost ineffective against other martial artists.

Besides tomb robbers like Shi Potian, who often dealt with resentful spirits and residual souls, few others needed to cultivate the Soul Extinguishing Sword.

Moreover, the Soul Extinguishing Sword could only be used for surprise attacks, and the timing of the strike had to be precise.

If the opponent defended against the Soul Extinguishing Sword, the user would just suffer a silent loss, wasting a lot of Spiritual Power.

Against other Divine World martial artists, trying to surprise them with the Soul Extinguishing Sword was unlikely to achieve the desired effect.

It was only against the somewhat dull-witted resentful spirits and residual souls that using the Soul Extinguishing Sword at an opportune moment could achieve the desired effect.

Shi Potian wanted Duan Gujin to master the Soul Extinguishing Sword because he couldn't predict how many more resentful spirits they might encounter ahead.

After eliminating one resentful spirit, Shi Potian's face looked somewhat pale.

"I want to strike while the iron's hot and eliminate one more resentful spirit!"

Shi Potian said to Duan Gujin.

Then he had other martial artists seal another cremation resentful spirit.

Once the others had sealed its body, he once again unleashed the Soul Extinguishing Sword, destroying yet another cremation resentful spirit.

"Everyone, come back to me, rest and recuperate here, and recover your Primordial Power!"

Shi Potian called out loudly.

The other martial artists quickly returned to his side, knowing that with their strength alone, they couldn't possibly defeat the three cremation resentful spirits ahead.

Evidently, Shi Potian was capable of defeating those five resentful spirits, so they decided to let him handle the remaining three cremation resentful spirits.

"Can you perform the Soul Extinguishing Sword?"

After a while, Shi Potian asked Duan Gujin.

"Yes!"

Duan Gujin replied.

"Great, then I'll have you eliminate another cremation resentful spirit!"

Shi Potian said.

Then, Shi Potian led the team with Duan Gujin to another cremation resentful spirit.

The martial artists used ice magic to seal the cremation resentful spirit, and once sealed, Duan Gujin used the Soul Extinguishing Sword to eliminate the resentful spirit.

After eliminating it with the Soul Extinguishing Sword, Duan Gujin returned to the team.

He had expended more than forty percent of his Primordial Power, and although he could still perform the Soul Extinguishing Sword one more time, doing so would require a long period to recover his power.

"Right now, you should take a Ten-thousand Yuan Pill to recover your Primordial Power!"

Shi Potian said through a secret transmission.

"Understood!"

Duan Gujin took the Ten-thousand Yuan Pill and operated his Cultivation Technique to quickly recover his Primordial Power.

Two hours later, Shi Potian's Primordial Power was fully restored.

Then, he called on some martial artists to join him in eliminating the last two cremation resentful spirits.

After returning to the original place, Shi Potian took the Ten-thousand Yuan Pill to recover his Primordial Power.

The other martial artists watched Shi Potian, their eyes flickering, now harboring deep fear of him.

From Shi Potian's previous performance, they realized his strength was indeed not simple. The cremation resentful spirits they couldn't handle had mostly been dealt with by him.

They could imagine that without Shi Potian around, even if they had a map, it would be impossible to eliminate those cremation resentful spirits.

Time passed by slowly.

Once Shi Potian had recovered his Primordial Power, he led everyone to search for a passageway on the stone wall ahead.

After a while, they finally found an underground passage.

Shi Potian did not let everyone enter the underground passage all at once. He asked, "Everyone, we need some folks to stay outside. Who wants to stay?"

The martial artists exchanged glances, not many willing to stay behind.

"If there's treasure inside, I'll suffer a great loss!"

Many martial artists had the same thought flash through their minds.

"Let's all go in together!"

After a while, many martial artists shouted loudly.

"Alright, alright, we'll all go in together!"

Shi Potian smiled faintly.

He had anticipated this outcome early on. He asked like that on purpose, just so that if something went wrong in the mountain path, the other martial artists wouldn't blame him for it later.
