Chapter 1506 - 1503: Dragon Slayer Sword Purification

Chapter 1506: Chapter 1503: Dragon Slayer Sword Purification

"Right! Since it’s absorption, why do we still need to take it back? There are so many Purification Stones here, if we place the Dragon Slayer Sword directly among them, wouldn’t it absorb faster?" Chen Tianlong suddenly thought of this crucial point.

Feeling a bit delighted, he took the Dragon Slayer Sword off his back and placed it directly into the Stone Array.

Indeed, the color of the Dragon Slayer Sword slowly began to change; the previously murky silver started to clear up from the hilt to the blade.

Seeing Chen Tianlong’s actions, Wu Mengting curiously walked over and asked, "Chen Tianlong, what are you doing?"

"I’m trying to purify the Otherworldly aura from the Dragon Slayer Sword, using the natural abundance of Purification Stones here to cleanse it. It should be faster than if we took it back." Chen Tianlong replied with a slight smile.

"Oh, so that’s it. Chen Tianlong is really smart." Mengting smiled sweetly, indicating that their task would soon be completed.

However, at this moment, Chen Tianlong also felt a bit worried because they didn’t know when the Dragon Slayer Sword would be fully purified, and whether there would be any notification upon completion. It’s crucial they know when it’s done, or they’d be in trouble.

To know, that old man wouldn’t let them go; the reason he hadn’t chased them immediately wasn’t fear of Chen Tianlong but because he was heavily injured.

But Chen Tianlong thought that the man, with the power of Celestial Dao Seven Stars Great Perfection Limit, as a Summoner, would probably recover most of his strength in a few hours, and come looking for them.

By then, the old man would certainly use summoned Elves combined with his own power, and Chen Tianlong wasn’t confident he could defeat him.

So, Chen Tianlong continued to pray, hoping the Dragon Slayer Sword would purify quickly so they could leave this cursed place. He vaguely felt discomfort in his body, likely due to the excessive Otherworldly aura in this area.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong turned around and was startled to see that Wu Mengting wasn’t just pale-faced but flushed red. Shocked, he wondered what was happening to Mengting.

"Mengting, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Chen Tianlong asked worriedly.

"Mm, Chen Tianlong, I’m fine, just a little uncomfortable. I can endure it." Wu Mengting forced a smile and replied.

Chen Tianlong furrowed his brow, sensing something amiss, realizing their bodies had reached the limit, with Evil Qi slowly invading them past their protective gear.

Yet, the Dragon Slayer Sword wasn’t fully purified, and suddenly cutting it off could have unforeseen repercussions.

There are many processes fraught with danger, such as fortification and star upgrades, and if interrupted, it’s not just a matter of starting over, but potentially causing damage or destruction.

Chen Tianlong’s guess was right. This time, the Dragon Slayer Sword’s purification involved absorbing Otherworldly aura internally, essentially flipping the structure inside the sword. Cutting it off suddenly, while the Dragon Slayer Sword wasn’t destroyed, would mean previous fortifications and star upgrades reset—an extremely heavy price.

At this moment, the Dragon Slayer Sword began to emit light from the hilt, gradually brightening into a gemstone blue hue.

Seeing this, Chen Tianlong was overjoyed; this clearly showed the purified effect, indicating it was halfway done, meaning at most another half an hour.

The purification speed was incredibly fast; previous forging and star upgrades would have taken at least ten hours, and this purification estimated to require seven to eight hours, but it was evidently much faster now.

Chen Tianlong knew it was certainly due to the large number of Purification Stones working together.

"Chen Tianlong, it looks like it’s almost done. We can leave after waiting a bit longer, hehe." Wu Mengting also became happy, seemingly forgetting her physical discomfort.

"Yes, we’re almost out of here."

Chen Tianlong couldn’t wait anymore; firstly, Mengting’s body likely faced danger if they waited further due to the lack of two attributes, and secondly, Chen Tianlong worried the old man might pursue them. The combined attack from those Elves would prove burdensome.

Thus, the two had to keep waiting anxiously, watching the Dragon Slayer Sword being purified bit by bit, slowly revealing their smiles.

But Wu Mengting’s body grew increasingly uncomfortable, her face shifting from red to pale. The initial flush was due to Wu Mengting using her Inner Strength to resist, but as Inner Strength depleted, Evil Qi invaded once more, making resistance impossible, leaving her vulnerable to Evil Qi’s slow invasion.

Chen Tianlong remained calm initially, but when he looked at Wu Mengting again and saw her pale face, he was startled, quickly embracing her, asking with concern, "Mengting, what’s wrong? Are you very uncomfortable?"

"I... cough cough, I’m fine!" Wu Mengting stubbornly replied through her pain.

How could Chen Tianlong not see through it? He thought about it and gritted his teeth: Mengting was his wife, and if something happened to her, he wouldn’t forgive himself. If something happened to the Dragon Slayer Sword, he could try to find another way to save the country, but if Wu Mengting was gone, where could he turn?

Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong hurriedly picked up Wu Mengting and started to run back, since the forest they passed through earlier had less intense Evil Qi, and she might hold on a bit longer.

"Chen Tianlong... what are you doing? Put me down, I won’t leave. I want to stay with you."

Wu Mengting knew Chen Tianlong’s intentions; she felt touched but more concerned—worried that if the Dragon Slayer Sword fell into others’ hands, it would be disastrous.

"Mengting, don’t talk. I’ll take you to a safe place first." Chen Tianlong responded with concern and, without waiting for Wu Mengting to speak further, ran outside.

But as soon as he reached the Stone Array’s entrance, he was blocked by a figure that landed like lightning. Chen Tianlong reacted swiftly, immediately turning around, retreating several steps. When he stabilized and looked closer, he realized it was the old man from the forest—Luo Qi.

At that moment, Luo Qi glared furiously at Chen Tianlong, as if he wanted to devour him, clearly having recovered most of his injuries.

"You little punk, trying to run again? No chance! Give me your lives." Luo Qi said, waving the Magic Staff in his hand, then placed one hand forward in a prayer gesture, beginning to chant spells.

Chen Tianlong instantly knew that the old man was once again summoning Elves; he felt very dejected.

This was his constant worry—he feared exactly what happened. It appeared Mengting wouldn’t escape now. Chen Tianlong saw a smooth stone nearby, swiftly rushed over, then laid Mengting down, letting her sit.

"Mengting, hold on for a while. Once I defeat this man, I’ll take you out." Chen Tianlong spoke resolutely.

"Mm, Chen Tianlong, don’t worry; Mengting can endure." Wu Mengting clearly didn’t want Chen Tianlong to worry too much; getting distracted could lead to falling into the conjurer’s trap.
