Chapter 405 Please let the Ancient King rest in peace; the Ancient King's will.
After his reflections, the ancient king also unleashed a surge of elemental power, the most abundant of which were the Yin Sha Qi and the power of earth element. The 'Lu Lu' sword in his hand erupted with a soaring sword aura, its power no less than that of Jiang Han's Dragon Bone Sword.
Besides the soaring sword energy on the 'Lu Lu' sword, Jiang Han also felt a powerful mental force rushing into his spiritual world and wreaking havoc.
It's obvious that it's the Ancient King. At his level, mental magic is almost beyond the realm of magic. Combined with the mental impact released by his spiritual power, an ordinary magician would likely have their mental world collapse directly if hit by such a blow.
If his spiritual realm hadn't been elevated to its peak, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand the mental impact of the ancient king.
After regaining his composure, Jiang Han swung his Dragon Bone Sword at the Ancient King. The sword energy, interwoven with seven-colored magical power, shattered countless spaces, while the Ancient King swung his 'Deer Lu' sword to meet the attack.
The two sword energies collided, causing space to collapse. The violent sword energy cleaved a black hole in the center of their battle.
If the violent spatial storm within the void black hole were to fall into the horde of corpses outside, neither a commander-level nor a grand commander-level creature could escape being shredded into pieces.
Jiang Han kept swinging his sword at the Ancient King, but after realizing that the mental attack could not affect Jiang Han, the Ancient King gave up using the mental attack to interfere with Jiang Han and put all his soul power into his sword moves. His sharp sword moves were evenly matched with Jiang Han's full-force attack.
"As expected of the ancient king of China, I would have defeated a demon of emperor level long ago."
During his battle with the Ancient King, Jiang Han was deeply shocked, and it also made him understand why the Ancient King was hailed as the strongest magic emperor in China.
It should be noted that after he became demonized and Dragon One and Dragon Two merged, he could unleash combat power comparable to a supreme monarch. In addition, with the fusion of Xue Ling's elemental soul body and her subtle control of power, his overall combat power was in no way weaker than that of the Ancient King, and even surpassed it.
However, the Ancient King has narrowed the gap in combat power with his sharp sword skills. But Jiang Han understands that the Ancient King's remnant soul cannot last long. Once the power of the remnant soul is exhausted, it will be time for him to kill the Ancient King's remnant soul.
Some might say that his victory was unfair, but please, this isn't a duel where fairness is expected.
If he loses, not only him, but also Mo Fan, Liu Ru, Zhang Xiaohou, Zhan Kong, and millions of people in the ancient capital will be buried with him. Therefore, his battle with the ancient king is not about winning unfairly, but about the victor being king and the loser being villain.
After exchanging nearly a hundred sword strikes with the Ancient King, the Ancient King's sword strikes began to weaken, and he even needed two sword strikes to destroy Jiang Han's sword energy.
Gradually, it will require three moves, four moves, five moves, six moves...
As the ancient king's remnant soul unleashed these sword strikes, it became increasingly fragmented. Originally, his remnant soul had been revived by absorbing Fang Gu's soul, and the power within the blood waterfall had been significantly depleted in order to fight Jiang Han for so long.
"This sword will surely bring the ancient king to his death!!" The dragon bone sword in Jiang Han's hand once again erupted with a hidden sword light.
The soaring seven-colored sword energy tore through space, but the ancient king remained calm. All the remaining Yin energy in his body poured into the 'Deer's Lu' sword, making the weakened five-colored sword energy sharp again.
Even in death, he, the ancient king, could not lose his imperial dignity.
The battle between the two had already shattered the altar into pieces. Now, the two sword energies collided again, creating countless spatial rifts throughout the space. As for the spatial jump array on the altar, it had already been destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle.
Although the Ancient King used all the Yin energy in his body, he still could not block Jiang Han's seven-colored sword energy.
After the five-colored sword energy filled with Yin energy shattered, Jiang Han's seven-colored sword energy directly struck the remnant soul of the ancient king. Although the armor was not weak in defense, it was still unable to withstand Jiang Han's sword energy.
"Although I am still unwilling, I am very gratified to see that the successors have such strength."
"Your successor, I hope you will inherit my will and create a true land of reincarnation for my Chinese people!"
The ancient king's remnant soul vanished in countless pale blue specks of light, but his somewhat hoarse yet majestic voice still echoed in the broken Abyss of Evil.
To Jiang Han's surprise, many dark blue light spots merged into his body. As these light spots merged, a lot of knowledge about the use of magic appeared in Jiang Han's mind, as well as the sword techniques used by the ancient king when he fought him.
Magicians are generally weaker than demons in terms of physical strength, but fortunately, their bodies are baptized by the elemental power of heaven and earth every time they advance and break through. Otherwise, the living space of humans would be compressed several times over.
This battle with the Ancient King also made Jiang Han realize that at the Emperor level or with forbidden spells, in addition to the use of magical power, one must also enhance physical strength to increase overall combat power, just like the Ancient King, who could unleash power no weaker than the Emperor level even with only a remnant soul.
Besides gaining knowledge of magic and sword techniques, Jiang Han also felt a significant relief from his mental fatigue.
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully killed the remnant soul of the Ancient King. You are rewarded with 86 million system points."
Just then, the little master, dressed in a golden tutu, emerged from Jiang Han's body and excitedly floated in front of him, setting off fireworks. With a "bang," colorful firework ribbons burst open in front of Jiang Han.
After the fireworks ended, Xiao Shi put away the fireworks tubes and then gave Jiang Han a long-term task.
"Issuing a long-term quest: Inherit the will of the ancient king. Quest duration (unlimited)."
"Mission Introduction: The Ancient King, once the magic emperor of China, was unwilling to live an ordinary life after death. He used necromancy to reincarnate as an undead. In order to enable all Chinese people to be like dragons, he intended to build a place of reincarnation for China, so that Chinese people could be reincarnated as humans again after death. However, he ultimately failed."
"It is hoped that the host can inherit the will of the ancient king, build a land of reincarnation belonging to China, and realize the ancient king's wish that everyone in China would be like a dragon."
"Quest accepted: Reward: Soul Splitting Technique. The Soul Splitting Technique allows you to split your original soul to create a soul clone."
"Mission complete: Reward unknown**"
Just as Jiang Han was overjoyed at the reward for killing, or rather, exhausting the remnant soul of the ancient king, a blue system panel popped up in front of him, introducing this long-term mission.
He had only ever taken on time-limited and regular missions before, but the rewards were always exceptionally high.
This is the first time I've encountered a long-term mission. Just accepting the mission will earn me a reward. As for the reward for completing the mission, it is unknown, but based on Jiang Han's past experience with missions, the reward will definitely be more generous than ever before.
