CHAPTER 70
Infinite Heroic Souls
Bai Ling and the old man were extremely surprised that Ye Fei could comprehend the true Sword Essence so quickly.
Especially when he felt the strong sword intent from Ye Fei, Bai Ling, who was also a swordsman, could not help but have the urge to submit.
"Junior Brother Ye, he's really too strong. Even my master has only comprehended the Seed of Sword Intent and not the true Sword Intent. However, Ye Fei has completely comprehended it in such a short time," Bai Ling said with a sigh.
Hearing this, the old man sneered, "Little girl, you are still too inexperienced. How can it be so easy to completely comprehend Sword Intent? It's true that this kid has comprehended Sword Intent, but it's only 10% Sword Intent. There's still a long way to go before he can truly master Sword Intent."
The old man's words seemed to be a casual conversation with Bai Ling, but in fact, he was giving advice to Ye Fei. Ye Fei withdrew the Sword Qi on his body and stood up from the ground. He deeply agreed with the old man's words.
"Senior, you're right. The Sword Intent that I've comprehended is far inferior to the Sword Intent that you released. My Sword Intent is probably barely 10% of the Sword Intent!" Ye Fei sighed.
Haste makes waste.
Although the Undying Sword Soul could improve the quality of his Dantian and his comprehension ability, it was not without limits. The Sword Soul could only allow him to comprehend at most. As for whether Ye Fei's Sword Intent could reach the Large Success stage in the future, it would depend on his own efforts and cultivation.
Ye Fei looked at the old man and asked probingly, "That's right, Senior. Now that I have 10% sword intent, I should be able to help you. Perhaps I will have a chance to leave this Demon Sealing Pagoda?"
The old man nodded, then shook his head. "I can't guarantee that we'll be able to leave this place! But since you've comprehended sword intent, it means that you already have the qualifications to enter the Demon Sealing Tower and fight the heroic spirits inside. "
"Infinite Heroic Spirits? What's that?" Ye Fei asked curiously.
"The Heroic Spirits are the vengeful spirits that the Demon Sealing Tower uses to suppress me. They are constantly consuming my life force! Of course, if outsiders barge in, they will also attack them until they become a part of the Heroic Spirits! "the old man explained.
"That means that the martialists who barged in here in the past were not killed by you, Senior, but by the Heroic Spirits inside?"
Seeing Ye Fei's comprehension of the Sword Intent, Bai Ling finally felt a glimmer of hope that he could leave this place. However, in the end, the old man's words made him feel despair.
Ye Fei looked even more miserable. He simply wanted to stab the old man a few times. Ye Fei pointed at himself and said, "Senior, there should be a limit to your jokes. Look at Senior Sister and me. We are only Martial Masters. If you let us go in and fight those Martial Grandmasters and Martial Supremacies, wouldn't we die even faster?"
"Ha ha ha! Don't be impulsive, young man. Let me finish. The Heroic Spirits inside are very strong, but they also have a weakness. They will constantly adjust their own strength according to the strength of the person who enters.
For example, if a Martial Grandmaster enters, the Heroic Spirit that appears will only be a Martial Grandmaster. If a Martial Master enters, the Heroic Spirit will only be able to display the strength of a Martial Master! "
The old man paused and looked at Ye Fei and Bai Ling pitifully. "If you want to leave, you have to enter the Demon Sealing Tower and continuously fight the Heroic Spirits inside. I have calculated that as long as you can withstand the attacks of countless Heroic Spirits for two hours, you will have the qualifications to enter and exit the Demon Sealing Tower freely!"
"What if we can't hold on?" Ye Fei asked again.
"Then you can only be like those who have entered before. No matter what realm you are, only death awaits you!" The old man sneered and finally reminded Ye Fei.
"Young man, I forgot to tell you. If you don't want to die too quickly after entering, you'd better not try to provoke the Heroic Spirit King! Even if you have mastered ten percent of sword intent, you only have a forty percent chance of killing the Heroic Spirit King. Finally, I wish you good luck! "
After saying this, the old man was about to disappear. Bai Ling immediately became anxious. "Senior, are you not going in with us?"
Bai Ling wanted the old man to go in with them. At a critical moment, he might be able to save their lives.
As if seeing through Bai Ling's little scheme, the old man smiled and shook his head. "I am sealed by the Demon Sealing Tower and cannot enter the Heroic Spirit Corridor. It is even more impossible for me to save you. If you want to live, you can only rely on yourselves. I hope you can succeed, even if this hope is extremely slim..."
The old man finally let out a long sigh and his figure gradually disappeared. There was something he had not said all this time. Ye Fei was actually the seventeenth person who had successfully comprehended sword intent under his guidance.
Moreover, each of the sixteen people before him had better comprehension and talent than Ye Fei. Some of them even had very powerful special constitutions.
However, all of them did not last more than two hours and died inside. Therefore, from the beginning, the old man did not expect Ye Fei and Bai Ling to be able to break through. He had guided Ye Fei purely because he had been suppressed for too long and was bored. He just wanted to find someone to talk to.
"Ye Fei, what should we do? Do we really have to break in?" Bai Ling watched the old man disappear. She looked hesitant, not knowing whether to go in or not.
Ye Fei's eyes were extremely firm. "Of course we have to go in. There is only one passage here, and that is the stone door. If we don't want to be trapped here, we must go in and break in."
Seeing that Bai Ling was still a little worried, Ye Fei immediately comforted her. "Sister Bai, don't worry. After we go in, you deal with the weak and leave the strong to me. It's only two hours. This time, we will work together and get through this together!"
"Yes, Ye Fei, Senior Sister will listen to you!" Bai Ling's face was a little red. As the Senior Sister, she should be taking care of the Junior Brother, but now it was the other way around. Bai Ling felt ashamed. At the same time, she also realized that in her eyes, Ye Fei was no longer the youth who was bullied in Black Rock City. Instead, he was a man of indomitable spirit.
Looking at Ye Fei's not broad but firm figure, Bai Ling did not know why her heart started to beat faster.
"Sister Bai, follow me closely!"
Ye Fei did not notice the change in Bai Ling's attitude because he was already holding the Devouring Spirit Sword and taking the lead to push open the stone door.
Behind the stone door, there was a very long passage. There was nothing unusual about it. Ye Fei and Bai Ling became extremely nervous at the same time.
"Ye Fei, let's hold hands to avoid any accidents!" Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, but still said shyly.
This was also the first time she had taken the initiative to hold hands with someone of the opposite sex. However, this had nothing to do with anything else. It was just to take care of each other.
"Alright!"
Ye Fei nodded. He also felt that if they held hands, they could avoid being separated from each other in the event of an accident. Thus, the two of them held hands and officially walked into the corridor.
There were no mechanisms or traps as they had imagined. The corridor was abnormally quiet. There were only two blurry figures standing in the middle of the corridor.
Ye Fei and Bai Ling were shocked when they saw the figures. The two heroic spirits looked exactly like them. Even their realms were exactly the same.
"These are heroic spirits? They're nothing special! "Bai Ling heaved a sigh of relief. The old man had made it sound so terrifying just now, but in the end, they only saw two figures that looked exactly like them.
"Sister Bai, let's take one each. You deal with the first-stage Martial Master. Leave the fifth-stage Martial Master to me!" Ye Fei said in a deep voice.
"Alright!"
Bai Ling also felt that fighting with "herself" was too awkward. Killing the heroic spirit that had turned into Ye Fei was exactly what she wanted.
Kill!
When Ye Fei saw Bai Ling take the lead and charge at the first-stage Martial Master, he did not hold back either. He directly charged at the fifth-stage Martial Master heroic spirit that had turned into Bai Ling.
A resplendent sword-light whizzed out!
Given Ye Fei's current strength, he was naturally able to slice the heroic spirit in half in an instant. However, the strange thing was that the heroic spirit did not dodge. It allowed Ye Fei to kill it.
Not only did the two halves of its body not bleed, but they also instantly turned into two new Bai Ling. They smiled strangely at Ye Fei.
"F * ck, what the hell is this!" Ye Fei had not taken the heroic spirit seriously at first. However, when he saw this scene, he realized that the heroic spirit was indeed difficult to deal with.
Continue killing!
He wanted to see if this heroic spirit really had an immortal body.
Boom!
Boom! Two resplendent sword-lights swung out at the same time. Even though he was facing two fifth-stage Martial Master heroic spirits, Ye Fei still killed them one by one.
There was no other way. After comprehending 10% of the sword intent, Ye Fei's strength could no longer be measured by an ordinary first-stage Martial Master. Even if Li Xin, a seventh-stage Martial Master, came to deal with Ye Fei again, she would definitely not be a match for Ye Fei.
As expected, the two Bai Ling were instantly torn to shreds by the sword-light. However, Ye Fei did not look happy. Instead, he widened his eyes in shock, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
What had he just seen?
The two 'Bai Ling' that he had slain had split into four at that instant, who were laughing sinisterly at him at the same time.
Ye Fei hurriedly looked over at Bai Ling's side, only to discover that the situation on Bai Ling's side was even worse. She had killed them too quickly. The number of heroic spirits on that side had already increased to eight. All of them had strange smiles on their faces as they continuously rushed towards Bai Ling.
The helpless Bai Ling could only scream in fright as she continuously killed all the first-stage Martial Master heroic spirits. Ye Fei broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this scene.
