Chapter 174: This Sword is Great, It’s Mine Now

“Uh...”

At this moment, everyone was staring at Ye Xuan with a look of astonishment.

“Ye Xuan, have you lost your mind–!” Hu Lan shouted at Ye Xuan, “This sword is extremely evil, ordinary cultivators who approach rashly will die–!”

“Ye Xuan, come back–!!!” Hu Qianzao also couldn’t help but shout, “The Jade Fox Palace isn’t worth this risk–!!!”

“What, he’s doing this for the Jade Fox Palace?!”

“Yes, it must be–!”

Hearing Hu Qianzao’s words, the people of the Jade Fox Palace were shocked, and then moved deeply.

Ye Xuan must be risking approaching the evil sword for the sake of the Jade Fox Palace.

Oh my, that’s so touching. Ye Xuan is definitely taking this risk because of the palace master.

Despite having gone through so much, despite being tired, and even wanting to sever ties with the palace master forever, whenever the palace master is in need, he always selflessly steps forward to make sacrifices for her.

This is so moving–!!!

Seeing Ye Xuan step by step approaching the evil sword, Hu Qianzao also couldn’t help but run towards Ye Xuan.

However, at this moment, Hu Lan directly stopped her and said, “The power of the evil sword is very unstable now. Ye Xuan has already gone over, if anyone else goes now, it will trigger the explosion of the evil sword’s power, do not go over, Palace Master–!”

“What should we do then?” Hu Qianzao asked.

Hu Lan said, “We can only form a barrier outside to seal the power of the evil sword for now. If the evil sword’s power bursts out, it won’t turn the Jade Fox Palace into a wasteland.”

“No–!!!” Hu Qianzao directly said, “If we do that, Ye Xuan will bear all the force of the evil sword’s self-destruction inside. If so, even if he could have survived, he definitely won’t be able to.”

“Ah...” Hearing this, Hu Lan sighed and said, “At this point, we can only live or die with Ye Xuan. Disciples of the Jade Fox Palace, quickly prepare your means of self-preservation.”

Could it be that Ye Xuan was tempted by the power of the evil sword?! That shouldn’t be the case, Ye Xuan’s resolve is well-known to everyone.

Even through such setbacks and pain, he never changed his original intention. While everyone was shocked by Ye Xuan’s actions, they saw him pull out the evil sword.

Immediately, the Demonic Origin Sword trembled uncontrollably in Ye Xuan’s hand, quickly all the evil energy was drawn into the sword, and the dark energy around it also dissipated.

In Ye Xuan’s hand, it was just a simple, unadorned iron sword. It was only a bit larger and heavier than the usual cultivator’s sword, with a blade as wide as a hand and not very sharp at the edge.

The Demonic Origin Sword, which originally had the destructive power of thousands of miles which had been detonated by its former owner, almost exploding, but now in Ye Xuan’s hand, it was as docile as a child.

No... not docile, but fearful. The sword was afraid of Ye Xuan, showing submission to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan wiped the sword in his hand, slightly furrowing his brow, ‘It’s a letdown, this sword is far inferior to the Profound Sword.’

Although it seemed to have more expressive power than the Profound Sword, it was only because this sword completely abandoned balance in pursuit of maximizing power.

All the materials in the sword were integrated to enhance the evil energy’s power, and although the sword’s power was great, it could only be used a few times before it would self-destruct.

Using this sword against enemies truly requires great courage.

However, if he could learn the method of forging this sword, and craft similar swords himself, then whenever he faced anyone, he could just throw a sword to explode at them...

In that case, his enemies would probably have nightmares at night. Unfortunately, he had not yet learned the art of sword-making, so this idea would have to be set aside for now.

“Ye Xuan... are you alright?” By this time, Qingxue had already come up behind Ye Xuan, asking him.

She had been worried about Ye Xuan getting hurt, which is why she hadn’t come over earlier. After all, with her cultivation, if the explosion of the evil sword wasn’t targeted at her, she didn’t need to worry about it.

But now, Ye Xuan had the sword in his hand, seemingly also having contained the sword’s evil energy, so naturally, she could come over.

“I’m fine.” Ye Xuan turned around, holding the Demonic Origin Sword, and smiled at Qing Xue, “It’s just that this sword is mine now.” As he spoke, he even shook the sword in his hand.

Qing Xue’s expression changed slightly, even she had to be fearful of the evil energy on the sword. Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan seemed completely unconcerned.

What was going on?!
