Chapter 3692: Taming the ancient sword

"Ah…!"

Kong Xingjin roared in pain, his entire face contorting in agony.

No one could imagine the terrifying pain Kong Xingjin was enduring at this moment; Xiao Fan's Artifact Spirit and the Evil Spirit within the ancient sword were devouring each other inside Kong Xingjin's body.

While the Evil Spirit in the ancient sword drew upon Kong Xingjin's Spiritual Power, Xiao Fan's Artifact Spirit naturally drew upon Xiao Fan's Spiritual Power.

In comparison, the Evil Spirit was clearly at a disadvantage, being no match for the Artifact Spirit at all.

"This… what's going on?!"

"I don't know, look at Kong Xingjin's appearance, he seems to be in great pain!"

"That's not just 'seeming' to be in pain anymore, is it? He's really in pain!"

"Will Kong Xingjin die?!"

"…"

The surrounding Disciples were all shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.

No one expected such a thing to happen suddenly.

The ninth-ranked White-robed Disciple, Kong Xingjin, had suddenly gone mad, while his opponent, Xiao Fan, had stopped and was not attacking him.

Except for a few people like the Palace Master of Biyun Divine Palace, no one else understood Kong Xingjin's current situation.

"Why can the Artifact Spirit in this boy's hand attach itself to the ancient sword?" A Biyun Divine Palace Elder asked with a look of confusion, looking at the other Biyun Divine Palace Elders.

The other Biyun Divine Palace Elders were equally confused, not knowing what was happening.

"This matter is somewhat strange… we shall inquire about it later," the Palace Master of Biyun Divine Palace said slowly.

Biyun Divine Palace had clearly tried before but had been unable to let other Artifact Spirits occupy the ancient sword; however, the current situation truly exceeded their expectations.

By now, Kong Xingjin no longer looked human. His Physical Body was gradually collapsing, his face shriveling up. The Spiritual Power in his body had been completely drained by the Evil Spirit, leaving him unable to sustain his Physical Body's needs.

Even so, the Evil Spirit was still at a disadvantage and simply could not devour the Artifact Spirit.

"Hahaha… just let your Grandpa devour you, be a good boy!"

"You… you are actually an Artifact Refiner too, damn it!"

"…"

At this moment, the Artifact Spirit and the Evil Spirit within the ancient sword were cursing at each other.

The Evil Spirit was furious. It never expected another Artifact Refiner would turn himself into an Artifact Spirit, and possess such formidable power, now even coming to seize the ancient sword it inhabited.

One must know that no one understood the consequences of becoming an Artifact Spirit better than an Artifact Refiner.

Once one becomes an Artifact Spirit, it means forever losing the possibility of Reincarnation and Rebirth, being forced to live only by attaching to a Magical Artifact for a lifetime.

Therefore, no Artifact Refiner would ever refine themselves into an Artifact Spirit.

Yet now, there were two Artifact Refiners who had refined themselves into Artifact Spirits, and they were currently fighting over the Cursed Sword.

"Stop dawdling… hurry up…"

Xiao Fan urged impatiently, panting with exhaustion. He had already fought several matches in a row, which had already consumed a lot of Spiritual Power. Now, helping the Artifact Spirit occupy the ancient sword was an unimaginable drain on him as well.

"Understood…"

The Artifact Spirit immediately complied and then bit the Evil Spirit even more frantically.

Before long, the Evil Spirit was on its last breath, while the Artifact Spirit, in contrast, grew even stronger…

"Hahaha… become a part of me!"

The Artifact Spirit laughed loudly and devoured the Evil Spirit in its final few bites.

After successfully devouring the Evil Spirit, the Artifact Spirit gained the other's power as well as control over the ancient sword.

The next moment…

The ancient sword, still in Kong Xingjin's hand, flew directly out of his grasp and over to Xiao Fan.

"Whew… it's over." Xiao Fan exhaled and shook his head helplessly.

The ancient sword bounced twice in front of Xiao Fan, as if signaling him to hurry up and grab it.

"Scram, don't get in the way…"

Hearing this, the ancient sword's reaction became even more intense…

Now that the ancient sword was controlled by the Artifact Spirit, it naturally became Xiao Fan's possession.

Xiao Fan knew this, but the surrounding Disciples did not…

"This… what's going on?!"

"I don't know, why is Kong Xingjin's ancient sword now…"

"What exactly happened? Does anyone know?!"

"No idea!"

"…"

The group of watching Disciples were all unclear about what exactly had happened.

The Palace Master of Biyun Divine Palace and the others all showed looks of surprise.

Good grief.

The boy had actually tamed Kong Xingjin's ancient sword and let his own Artifact Spirit occupy it.

Without a doubt, the ancient sword had now become Xiao Fan's possession.

The Artifact Spirit was still bouncing around in front of Xiao Fan; with no choice, Xiao Fan could only grasp the ancient sword.

The moment Xiao Fan grasped the ancient sword, he immediately felt an astonishing power.

This power was the power contained within the ancient sword…

"This…" Xiao Fan showed a look of shock.

He couldn't believe the ancient sword in Kong Xingjin's hand would be so terrifying.

"Hahaha… I didn't expect this ancient sword to be so terrifying either; that kid had no idea at all…" The voice of the Artifact Spirit appeared in Xiao Fan's mind.
