Chapter 2739: Slaying the Artifact Spirit

Ling Feng’s hand stopped in mid-air, and as soon as he heard that deep voice, he immediately reacted and retreated rapidly, just before a golden light shot out from the magic mirror.

In an instant, countless golden chains burst from the golden light, identical to those that previously bound Chao Yan. However, this time their target was not Chao Yan, but Ling Feng, who was attempting to take the magic mirror.

The golden chains flew towards Ling Feng’s vital parts and life gate, but three divine weapons flew out of Ling Feng’s ring immediately. The Blade of the Apocalypse took the lead, deflecting almost all of the golden chains, while the other two divine weapons guarded around Ling Feng, prepared for any sudden strike from the other chains.

As a large number of golden chains were blocked, an elder in a golden robe slowly appeared from the magic mirror, floating in the air with anger on his face, and his small mustache looked rather humorous.

But there weren’t many people who would dare to mock his mustache after witnessing this elder’s methods.

Ling Feng, however, smiled at the elder, and Chao Yan slowly walked to Ling Feng’s side.

“I believe this must be the spirit of the magic mirror?” Ling Feng smiled.

Chao Yan nodded, although there was a hint of fear in his eyes, he shrugged with a calm smile and said, “What’s the hurry, Old Man Jin? I haven’t even left yet, and you’re already so eager to make a move?”

Jin Wei, the spirit of the Mirror of Soul’s Fear, looked at the smug Chao Yan and said coldly, “What? Chao Yan, have you forgotten the pain after being suppressed by me just now? You really have a short memory!”

Chao Yan shrugged with a smirk and said, “Old Man Jin, let me tell you, don’t boast with me. It was Lu Wutong who sealed me, not you, this old thing. You’re just a spirit, not a real life, what right do you have to boast with me?”

“Moreover, as long as I don’t reveal my true power, do you have the ability to seal me? Do you really think you can suppress me whenever you want?”

“Let me tell you, we’re similar, I’ve been sealed here for a hundred thousand years, and so have you, as long as I’m still sealed here, you can’t get away! You’ll stay here with me for eternity!”

“So, why try to stop me? If I leave, it means you leave too, and you weren’t willing to let me out, it’s just that someone passing by, who doesn’t know the situation here,” Chao Yan pointed at Ling Feng,

“Accidentally took the magic mirror, and then my seal was accidentally lifted, so my being let out has nothing to do with you. This way both of us will be out, isn’t that a win-win situation?”

“Why be so stubborn?” Chao Yan laughed.

Ling Feng glanced at Chao Yan, truly worthy of being a reverse-heaven Demon Clan born in the Abyss, his words are so persuasive, if Ling Feng weren’t from here he might have been swayed by Chao Yan.

But unfortunately, Ling Feng shook his head, and according to his guess, the spirit of this magic mirror would never be swayed. Though it’s a spirit, normally spirits of this level of sealing hardly have their own consciousness to make certain moves and generally absolutely follow the original owner’s requirements.

Sure enough, Jin Wei snorted coldly, “Pah! You wicked demon, save your breath! Over the years, have you ever succeeded in using these arguments to sway me? I can’t be fooled by you!”

“I’ll put it out here: As long as I and the magic mirror still exist, don’t think of escaping from here. Until you genuinely atone for your sins, you’ll never leave Netherworld Void!”

Chao Yan, who already knew this would be the result, was always somewhat displeased if he didn’t try, so every time he encountered Jin Wei, he would say some persuasive words, and though every time he was ruthlessly scolded and rejected, Chao Yan never tired of it.

Chao Yan helplessly spread his hands, then bitterly smiled, “It’s a pity, it would be better if you accepted, we could be friends or something when we meet in the future, but when I break the seal, if I see you, it will be a fight to the death,”

“And as for Lu Wutong, if he’s not dead yet, I will surely tear him to pieces!”

Jin Wei sneered disdainfully, “Do you really think you can escape, you demon? Even if that guy really helps you escape,” Jin Wei pointed at Ling Feng, who had a faint smile on his face.

“Do you really have the confidence to defeat my owner, Lu Wutong? A hundred thousand years ago, my master could break into the Abyss of your reverse-heaven Demon Clan to crush you at will, taking the Abyssal Fire of your clan,”

“A hundred thousand years later, even if you escape, my master can still seal you like back then, and this time I will ask my master to thoroughly kill you, I will tell him of your unrepentant behavior these ten thousand years, you just wait, you won’t be able to leap around much longer!”

Jin Wei issued the threat, but Ling Feng and Chao Yan laughed in unison, and Ling Feng looked at the disdainfully angry Jin Wei and said, “You’re just a spirit, why do you talk about possessing a status?”

“To put it nicely, you’re a spirit in Lu Wutong’s magic mirror, not nicely you’re just a watchdog of this seal, what are you being pleased about? The person who was powerful back then was Lu Wutong, not you, old man, not even this magic mirror,”

“Do you understand now?” Ling Feng mocked.

Jin Wei tried hard to suppress his inner anger, then said word by word: “Human, you have no idea about the events of the past, nor do you know how many wrongs this demon has committed. If you insist on destroying the seal today and releasing this evil spirit, then I have no choice but to fight you!”

“I will make you, an eloquent ignorant child, know whether I have the right to call myself ‘this seat.’ I will show you that even if I am only an artifact spirit, I am not someone you can provoke!”

Ling Feng shook his head indifferently and said, “There’s no choice. I originally did not want to get involved with the Demon Clan, but they actually told me the method to wield the Chaos Sword.”

“Although I have thought about controlling it first and then coming here to release it, or thought about breaking the contract directly, I was still impressed by the power of the Magic Mirror. I intend to take the Magic Mirror out now.”

“As for how many wrongs Chao Yan has committed before, it has nothing to do with me. There are so many demons in this world, even if I am not a saintly mother, I can’t manage them, right? Moreover, I am not a saintly person.”

“Those who know me know that I am someone with little emotion for strangers, I only focus on the benefits of a matter, occasionally considering its consequences, but most of the time I am too lazy to care too much.”

“Since I want to take this Magic Mirror out now, it’s impossible for me to leave empty-handed. This is something you must understand!”

Chao Yan gave Ling Feng a thumbs up, and his singular eye was full of admiration. The old demon praised, “What bravery! Worthy of being a hero of the Human Race. I knew I didn’t misjudge you!”

Jin Wei shook his head: “Since you are truly so stubborn, then I have nothing to say. I can only use my power to stop you.”

Ling Feng also shook his head: “I am not who I was back in the day. To stop me from taking the Magic Mirror, you’re not qualified. By the way, let me tell you that I will directly sever your artifact spirit consciousness later.”

“After all, this Magic Mirror will belong to me henceforth, and I won’t need an artifact spirit that doesn’t recognize me as its master.”

Jin Wei’s eyes were cold, his whole body glowing with intense golden light, and then a vast number of golden chains shot out from the Magic Mirror, trying to bind Ling Feng. However, Ling Feng calmly let those three divine weapons bounce the chains away at will.

What seemed like incredibly powerful chains were, in the eyes of Ling Feng’s divine weapons, so fragile. Although the Blade of the Apocalypse didn’t cut those chains, it also didn’t let any chains come closer than three feet to Ling Feng’s body.

Jin Wei saw his golden chains were all bounced away just like before, furiously flying towards Ling Feng from the front of the Magic Mirror. On the way, despite encountering the Blade of the Apocalypse and other divine weapons blockading, Jin Wei deftly evaded them all.

Although Jin Wei was merely an artifact spirit, his agility far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators. Plus, with the soul-like body traits, even when the Blade of the Apocalypse chased him with full force, it could not catch up to Jin Wei.

“Ignorant child! I originally didn’t want to kill. But since you’ve been deceived by demons and have fallen into demonic ways, today I will execute the Heavenly Path and slay you, this demon!”

Jin Wei’s whole body was radiating golden light, then he transformed himself into chains, with sharp bladed spikes pointing straight at Ling Feng’s face!

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, with the Chaos Sword’s shadow already appearing in his hand.

“I’ve already said your words are not worth consideration!” Ling Feng shouted, issuing the final ultimatum to the overconfident Jin Wei, and then the shadow of the Chaos Sword emitted an exceedingly strong chaos wave.

Ling Feng raised the Chaos Sword and slashed at Jin Wei’s body. Although the power of the Chaos Sword was just one-tenth of its original power, combined with Ling Feng’s own might, it was enough to slay Jin Wei.

The golden chains on Jin Wei’s body collapsed and turned into specks of golden light scattering across the world as soon as they encountered the edge of the Chaos Sword.

Finally, Jin Wei, struck by the chaos wave, disintegrated, his face still showing disbelief. Looking at the composed Ling Feng, it seemed like he witnessed his master’s battle stance.

“How can this be! It’s impossible for me to be slain! I’m the true controller of the Mirror of Soul’s Fear, beyond my master, no one can kill me!”

As Jin Wei’s last dying words fell, his body turned null in continuous chaos waves and vibrations of the Chaos Sword, disappearing from this world shortly after appearing.

Even though he existed for over a hundred thousand years!
