1454 Probing


    “Oh? The sacred study?”


    Yatsek’s eyes were filled with curiosity.


    “What do you think? Tell me.”


    Fang Heng nodded and looked at the great sword in the middle of the hall from afar. He had the urge to go up and use the Book of Oaths to absorb the great sword.


    “The great sword has existed for at least a few hundred years. During this period, it has constantly suffered the corrosion of the shady line aura and the attacks of the surrounding undead. It is still so strong now, which means that its ability is extremely strong. It is very difficult to break it forcefully with external forces.”


    “And then?”


    “I want to try and see if I can absorb the strength of the great sword or find a way to control it.”


    Everyone’s interest was piqued when they heard this.


    “Do you have the ability to do it?”


    “I don’t know, but I can give it a try.”


    Fang Heng looked around.


    In theory, the Book of Oaths was a holy weapon.


    It was just like the silver nail magic tool he had encountered in the shady line.


    Relying on the holy weapon, he couldpletely think of a way to absorb the Holy Light’s strength within the great sword.


    After the absorption, the great sword would be a pile of scrap metal.


    Only the frozen vengeful spirits and Ice Bones wandering around were a little troublesome.


    In addition, Fang Heng was also very curious about what was sealed under the great sword.


    The source of the shady line?


    What exactly was it?


    He had a feeling that he might have triggered a big mission.


    “Well, I think we can give it a try.”


    Yatsek did not have much hope for what Fang Heng said.


    The great sword’s level was obviously high. How could a necromancer who had learned a little about the sacred study undo it?


    Wasn’t this a joke?


    Since he couldn’t find a better way, he could try and observe the great sword’s reaction.


    Yatsek and the old man who drew the runes on the soul stone, Ambay, discussed for a while before looking at Fang Heng.


    “Alright, we will think of a way to create a high-strength barrier for you.”


    As he spoke, Yatsek took out a Soul Jade Crystal and threw it to Fang Heng.


    “Take this and begin.”


    “Yes, sir!”


    Under Ambay’smand, the Chamber of Commerce once again opened up the barrier.


    This time, under everyone’s control, the barrier fell on Fang Heng alone.


    Fang Heng also poured his spiritual power into the soul jade crystal and released a secondyer of the barrier.


    Ambay gestured to Fang Heng, “Let’s begin.”


    “Yes.”


    Seeing Fang Heng approach the holy system’s great sword step by step, everyone became nervous.


    The most nervous person wasn’t Fang Heng, but Gano.


    Gano stared at Fang Heng’s every move, his heart thumping, praying that nothing bad would happen.


    Most of the high-level undead gathered outside the great sword’s Holy Light were attracted by the holy wave.


    Coupled with the double barrier protection, they turned a blind eye to Fang Heng’s arrival.


    Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He maintained his necromancy form and advanced through the gaps between the undead creatures.


    The most difficult step!


    Arge number of elite andmander-level undead creatures.


    If he identally triggered the aggro of the undead creatures, he might even be killed in one hit.


    Fortunately, there was a gap between the undead creatures.


    Fang Heng carefully moved forward, bypassing many undead creatures until he arrived at the location of the Holy Light fluctuation.


    Swoosh!!


    A Holy Light shone!


    Fang Heng switched to his holy form and stepped into the forbidden area of the undead with ease!


    “Sess!”


    “Good!”


    Seeing Fang Heng ignore the light from the great sword and continue to move forward, everyone could not help but nod secretly, and their faces revealed happy expressions.


    It was indeed the strength of the holy system.


    Even the frozen vengeful spirits could not get close to the great sword, but Fang Heng could ignore the Holy Light fluctuation.


    “Well done.”


    Yatsek didn’t expect Fang Heng to be able to do this. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Gano with appreciation.


    “Thank, thank you, Elder.”


    Normally, Gano would be happy for a few days after receiving Yatsek’s praise.


    But now, Gano didn’t feel happy at all. He squeezed out an extremely stiff smile.


    Instead, he had an even worse premonition.


    Fang Heng approached the great sword step by step, observing it carefully at the same time.


    A huge crack was formed on the ground by the great sword. The front end was about two meters deep into the ground.


    A cold aura kept seeping out from the cracks in the ground!


    It was cold and carried a part of the undead aura.


    The undead aura was instantly purified by the great sword, leaving behind a cold and icy aura.


    The huge crack was covered in frost.


    There was no mistake.


    The strength that could freeze souls came from this crack.


    Seeing that Fang Heng had sessfully approached, the eyes of the people from the Chambers of Commerce revealed some excitement. One of them shouted, “Little Brother, can you think of a way to get the bones of the City Lord’s ancestor out first?”


    Fang Heng turned his head to the right.


    Arge number of bones were scattered on the ground.


    Under the influence of the frost aura, a thinyer of frost was attached to the skeleton.


    One of the frosty white bones that were believed to be the ancestor of the City Lord was left not far from the great sword.


    “Okay, I’ll try.”


    Fang Heng answered and tried to walk towards the skeleton at the side.


    “Chi!”


    Just as he took a few steps forward, Fang Heng suddenly raised his eyebrows and quickly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.


    What the hell!


    The great sword suddenly emitted strong light, and a golden current visible to the naked eye shed!


    Buzz…!


    A golden shield appeared and shone!


    A wave of holy aura burst out from the great sword!


    The violent spread of the holy aura caused the surrounding undead creatures to freeze, pushing them back a few meters!


    “Not good! Be careful!”


    The expressions of the people from the Chambers of Commerce changed when they saw this.


    “Release the barrier!”


    Boom!!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!!!


    Dozens of bone barriers rose.


    The dark barrier opened!


    The shockwave of the spreading holy aura instantly shattered more than ten bone barriers and finally exploded on the barrier set up by the Chamber of Commerce team.


    “Hu…”


    They barely managed to block the aura.


    Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.


    Yatsek looked up again.


    The great sword released a dark golden shield, enveloping the great sword and the surrounding area in the center.


    Shield?!


    The shield slowly faded in front of everyone’s eyes.


    In fact, the shield was always there. It would only appear when it was attacked or touched.


    Fang Heng was still standing outside the shield and observing.


    No! He couldn’t do it!


    He waspletely immune to the impact of the holy aura, but he had no way of dealing with this shield.


    Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the great sword in the center of the shield again.


    The game notification shed across his retina.
