Chapter 5007: Competing for the Divine Sword!

That's right.

This was Yu Deyou's plan: once the Divine Sword's sacrificial refinement was complete, he would merge himself into the Divine Sword and become its artifact spirit.

After that, even Xiao Fan would be unable to do anything to him.

Xiao Fan remained expressionless, staring fixedly at the Divine Sword. He waved his hand, wanting to take the Divine Sword into his possession.

Xiao Fan had already acknowledged the Divine Sword as his master with a drop of blood previously; the Divine Sword was his property.

Unfortunately, because of Yu Deyou, the other party now controlled the Divine Sword, so it did not fly toward Xiao Fan.

"Hahaha… Xiao Fan, I forged this sword. Even if you have acknowledged it as your master with a drop of blood, so what?" A cold laugh from Yu Deyou emanated from within the Divine Sword.

Upon hearing this, the star chart, black ring, and others were all furious, each one cursing Yu Deyou bitterly.

However, Yu Deyou did not care at all.

"Hehehe… Xiao Fan, if you want to master the Divine Sword, you must compromise! Rest assured, as long as you behave yourself afterward, I won't give you any trouble." Yu Deyou's laughter came from within the ancient sword.

"Threatening me? Is that so?" Xiao Fan spoke indifferently.

Xiao Fan had already guessed Yu Deyou's intentions beforehand.

If everything had been discussed properly, Xiao Fan would have agreed to let Yu Deyou become the artifact spirit.

After all, the Divine Sword was forged by Yu Deyou; it would have been reasonable for him to become the artifact spirit.

But Yu Deyou using this method clearly crossed Xiao Fan's bottom line. And most importantly, if Yu Deyou dared to threaten him now, what about later?!

If Yu Deyou found an opportunity, he would definitely turn against him!

Xiao Fan knew very well that keeping a Divine Sword that might turn against him by his side was not a good thing; it could bring about a catastrophic disaster for himself because of the other party.

"Hahaha… It doesn't count as a threat, it's just telling the truth. I know your methods very well. If possible, I would also like to coexist with you peacefully." Yu Deyou's laughter emerged from the ancient sword.

"Hehehe… What if I refuse?" Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow.

"Refuse? Then don't blame me… I still have to thank you for using so many Magical Artifacts to refine the sword, allowing me to gain sufficient power." Yu Deyou's arrogant laughter came from the ancient sword: "Alright, I'm leaving. Farewell!"

After speaking, the Divine Sword emitted Divine Light, intending to tear through the space of the star chart and leave this place.

"Don't even think about it!" The star chart was furious and intended to stop the other party.

However…

The next moment, the Divine Sword's Divine Light dissipated, and another voice came from within: "Hahaha… Yu Deyou! Have you forgotten about me?!"

That's right.

The owner of this voice was none other than Xiao Fan's artifact spirit.

When Yu Deyou was refining the sword, Xiao Fan had been worried that Yu Deyou would play dirty, so he had let the artifact spirit enter the Divine Sword one step ahead while Yu Deyou was caught off guard.

Therefore, when Yu Deyou attached himself to the Divine Sword, the artifact spirit was already there.

"You… damn it! How could you be there?!" Yu Deyou was furious.

"Hehehe… Why couldn't I be here? I am a loyal artifact spirit! I must be here!" The artifact spirit's arrogant laughter came from within the ancient sword.

"You, you, you… damn it!" Yu Deyou was furious.

The Divine Sword began to tremble; Yu Deyou and the artifact spirit were fighting for control of the Divine Sword.

If Yu Deyou had attached himself to the Divine Sword first, the artifact spirit would certainly have had no chance, but the artifact spirit was already there when Yu Deyou attached himself.

Yu Deyou wanted to kick the artifact spirit out so he could completely control the Divine Sword, but the artifact spirit was no pushover. The recent sword refinement had caused severe damage to Yu Deyou, and he couldn't suppress the artifact spirit for the time being.

"Hehehe… Yu Deyou, do you regret it now?" Xiao Fan spoke indifferently as his Dantian diffused a rosy light, lending his power to the artifact spirit.

The next moment, the artifact spirit felt itself expanding infinitely…

"Hahaha… Yu Deyou, your death has arrived!" The artifact spirit spoke arrogantly.

"You… damn it! No! Don't!" Yu Deyou's heartbroken cries came from within the Divine Sword: "I was wrong! I was wrong! Don't… stop! Spare my life! Xiao Fan! Grandpa Xiao!"

If it continued like this, it wouldn't take long for the artifact spirit to completely devour Yu Deyou.

In that case, Yu Deyou would also become nourishment for the Divine Sword.
