333: Slipped the tongue

Hearing this, Dongfang Yuqing was slightly startled, his tone somewhat strange.

"How did you guess? Is there a spy from Lingyun Sect within the Evil Soul Sect? That shouldn't be!"

Lu Xingchen said with a wry smile, "You've even brought out the Myriad Souls Banner; and you still say your Evil Soul Sect isn't villainous? Dongfang Yuqing, I ask you, does your Myriad Souls Banner need to absorb the Souls of deceased people, imprisoning them within the banner to enhance its power?"

Hearing this, Dongfang Yuqing was even more astonished.

"How did you know? This Myriad Souls Banner is a Spiritual Artifact passed down through generations of Evil Soul Sect Sect Masters. This is the first time I've used it in battle; no one should know about it!"

When Lu Xingchen was a game booster in his previous life, he had read a large number of novels, especially Xuanhuan ones. This Myriad Souls Banner was practically a standard Magical Artifact for villainous bosses.

How could he not know?

Lu Xingchen waved his hand and said softly, "That's not the point. To unleash the power of this Myriad Souls Banner, it needs to absorb the Soul Power of at least tens of thousands of people. That's tens of thousands of lives!"

"Dongfang Yuqing, you brought it out, and you still want to trick me into believing the Evil Soul Sect is a righteous Sect?"

Dongfang Yuqing took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "You're right, to unleash the power of the Myriad Souls Banner, it does require that. But our Evil Soul Sect has never actively harmed an ordinary commoner."

"The Souls within this Myriad Souls Banner all come from commoners accidentally injured on the day Martial Artists with evil attributes awaken. The The Guide use Spiritual Artifacts to store them and provide them to the Myriad Souls Banner after returning to the Sect."

"The Soul Power of ordinary commoners is too weak. Even if the The Guide didn't collect these Souls, they would naturally dissipate between heaven and earth. Taking them into the Myriad Souls Banner instead gives them a chance to continue existing."

"..."

Lu Xingchen was speechless.

Could the function of this Myriad Souls Banner be explained like that?

Dongfang Yuqing kept explaining the nature of the Evil Soul Sect to him tirelessly. Either he wanted to have his cake and eat it too, or he truly had some unspeakable difficulties.

"I cannot believe your one-sided story. Unless you defeat me, you won't take Wang Xiaole!"

Dongfang Yuqing gently shook his head, sighed, and said softly, "In that case, I will defeat you!"

With that, Dongfang Yuqing activated the Myriad Souls Banner.

Hundreds of skull heads, condensed from Soul Power, flew towards Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen, in turn, activated the "Soul Breaking Art" again.

The black Soul handprint and the skull heads collided, stirring up waves of Soul Qi, then both were annihilated.

Lu Xingchen's expression darkened.

"With this Myriad Souls Banner, even if your Soul Power is inferior to mine, you can still withstand my Soul attacks. Dongfang Yuqing, you've certainly played your hand well!"

Dongfang Yuqing chuckled, "The feeling is mutual. I also didn't expect to meet such a formidable person as Lu Dazhuang after leaving the Sect this time. Besides the elders in the Sect, you are the first person to see my evil god sword; even Lin Aotian didn't have such an honor!"

With that, Dongfang Yuqing took out a gray long sword from his Storage Ring and drew it.

The sword body looked very simple, purely gray, without any fancy decorations.

However, the moment the sword's edge was unsheathed, Lu Xingchen felt the extraordinary nature of this sword.

"A high heaven grade spirit tool! No, it's more than that; this is a Divine Artifact that has been Sealed! Even the Evil Soul Sect couldn't possibly possess such a treasure. Dongfang Yuqing, it seems your luck is quite good!"

Now it was Dongfang Yuqing's turn to be surprised.

"How is this possible? Even a Saint would only consider my evil god sword a high heaven grade spirit tool; you actually guessed it was a Divine Artifact! Lu Dazhuang, how did you do it? Could it be that you also possess a Sealed Divine Artifact?"

Lu Xingchen said with a wry smile, "Then you could say you're right!"

With that, Lu Xingchen took out the immortal slaying sword.

Feeling the Immortal Slaying Power on the immortal slaying sword's body, Dongfang Yuqing gasped.

"The quality of your spirit sword is no weaker than my evil god sword. Lu Dazhuang, Lu Dazhuang, we truly are evenly matched. You are the only person who can contend with me in Physical Body strength, fighting Qi, Soul Power, and weapons."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said softly, "You are also the most powerful opponent I have ever encountered."

Dongfang Yuqing chuckled, "Since we are so fated, why don't we stop fighting? Let's find a place to rest, have a cup of tea, eat a bun, and have a good chat."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly startled.

He didn't expect the Holy Son of the Evil Soul Sect's thinking to be so unconventional.

"Alright, as long as you no longer plot against Wang Xiaole, I can treat you to my cherished dragon green tea that I've kept for many years."

Although this dragon green tea was cherished by the ghost for many years, he had only extorted it, but there was no need to explain that to Dongfang Yuqing.

Dongfang Yuqing sighed lightly and said in a deep voice, "That won't do. The Righteous Path Alliance is unreliable. If you take Wang Xiaole to the Orthodox Alliance Headquarters, it's equivalent to sending him to his death for nothing. For Wang Xiaole's safety, I can only fight you."

"Then let's fight!"

"Word Spirit, Sword Control!"

The immortal slaying sword was held in Lu Xingchen's hand, the shadow sword floated on his shoulder, and five sword sheaths flew in five different directions.

This was Dongfang Yuqing's first encounter with the shadow sword, and he was also ambushed by Lu Xingchen.

He originally swung his sword forward, intending to clash with Lu Xingchen.

However, Lu Xingchen suddenly teleported behind him and slashed him on the back with a sword.

In an instant, blood splattered.

Immortal Slaying Power surged into his body, and Dongfang Yuqing spat out another mouthful of blood, his aura becoming even weaker.

However, the Evil God Power on the evil god sword was no weaker than the Immortal Slaying Power on the immortal slaying sword. Dongfang Yuqing controlled the Evil God Power to protect his body, quickly grinding away the Immortal Slaying Power, and did not suffer fundamental damage.

But even so, his combat power had significantly decreased.

"What an incredibly strange displacement skill! Lu Dazhuang, you truly are exceptionally powerful!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "The feeling is mutual. You are the first person to be hit by my immortal slaying sword and not fall."

Hearing this, Dongfang Yuqing was greatly shocked.

"immortal slaying sword? You are the Human Race War God, Lu Xingchen!"

Lu Xingchen was startled.

Oh no, he accidentally let it slip.

The matter of the Human Race's fourth War God, Xiao Yuxin, passing the immortal slaying sword to Lu Xingchen was widely spread throughout the Tianyuan Continent.

It was precisely by relying on the immortal slaying sword that Lu Xingchen was able to accept the sacrifice of heroic spirits at Demon-Rejecting Pass, defeat Two Saints of Gold and Silver, save Demon-Rejecting Pass, and become the fifth War God.

Therefore, when Lu Xingchen uttered the three words "immortal slaying sword," Dongfang Yuqing guessed his identity.

Lu Xingchen said with a wry smile, "Oh no, I've been hiding for so long, and I still accidentally exposed myself!"
