Chapter 2186 Old Grudge

Chapter 2186 Old Grudge

While Lady Kang thought about that, Lin Mu was deep within his mind.

But his mind was not empty this time, instead two new presences hovered in it.

The first one looked like a small pine leaf that shone with a golden light while the second was a blue drop of water that glowed like a brilliant sapphire.

"Afternoon Pine? Ocean Raker?" Lin Mu felt a bit amazed at seeing their forms.

"Yes, master." The two replied having distinct tones.

Afternoon Pine's voice was melodious, as if the rustling of leaves while Ocean Raker's voice was like the whisper of the ocean waves.

Though there was one thing common with both voices, there was a tinge of child-like joy in them. It was hard to explain but hearing them made Lin Mu think as if both the swords were children.

Though considering they had been in existence for thousands of years it was not the case.

'Now that I think of it... Lanbao had a similar child-like vibe to her too. Is it just how formation and weapon spirits end up being like?' Lin Mu wondered if it took them a long time to become mature.

Even if they had technically existed for a long time, their spirits were still young and did not age fast. Similar to humans they would have to have various experiences in life before they could grow their personality.

"Its nice to hear you two directly." Lin Mu replied to the swords. "Are these your spirit forms?" he asked.

"Yes, you are correct." Afternoon Pine replied.

"In your mind we can take this form." Ocean Raker replied.

"I see... Well I wished to ask you about your past." Lin Mu questioned. "What happened to you two to have such a deep grudge against those beasts?" he inquired.

"We've faced those beasts in the past." Afternoon Pine revealed.

The scene was that of a battle, and Lin Mu found himself right in the middle of it.

"AAAHHHHH!"

"BIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI!"

"KILL THEM ALL!"

"DON'T LET THEM BREAK THE LINE!"

Tens of cries along with shouts were heard echoing among the horrendous cries of the eerie beasts.

'This...' Lin Mu found his vision moving on its own as he found a familiar sword in his hand. 'Am I seeing this from the perspective of Afternoons Pine?' he wondered.

But after a few movements he realized that it wasn't the sword's perspective but rather the perspective of the former owner!

Lin Mu found the cultivator fight fiercely against the eerie beasts and slaughter tens of them within seconds. But it was simply not enough as hundreds more swarmed in to join the fight.

"Uproot and rend!" The former owner commanded. "Pine Master Style- Third Form: Forest of a Million Cuts!" he uttered.

Lin Mu watched as an entirely new skill was demonstrated.

'Is this the original cultivation technique and skills of the former owner?' Lin Mu wondered as he saw its effect.

The sword seemingly flew out of the man's and rose into the sky. It then dived down right into the middle of the beast swarm and disappeared into the ground.

~RUMBLE~

A moment later, strong sword intent burst out of the ground and transformed into hundreds of thousands of sword slashes. The sword slashes seemingly looked like a forest had appeared, but anything that entered this forest was reduced to a bloody mist.

Seeing this, Lin Mu couldn't help but be impressed.
