Could it be that he has some connection with this sword?
"A divine artifact that has become spiritual? Generally, only a true god can make the Heaven-Slaying Sword obey like this."
Seeing this, Qin Junyang narrowed his eyes and looked Yu Tang up and down again: "I suddenly suspect that you are more than just a poor Taoist priest."
Upon hearing his analysis, Yu Tang also became curious about her own identity in this world.
However, he noticed that Qin Junyang was somewhat wary of him, so he deliberately shrugged and half-jokingly replied to Qin Junyang: "Of course I am not just a poor Taoist priest. I am also the precious disciple of the masters and elders of Qingnan Mountain, and a young talent who can lead you out of the Dark Abyss. I can fly in the sky on a sword and draw talismans to catch ghosts."
If you get to know me for two more days, you'll see even more of my good qualities.
Qin Junyang blinked, his tense expression easing slightly, and said to him, "You're even better at boasting than I am."
"You're so shameless."

Yu Tang never expected that she would be disliked by Qin Junyang instead.
It's Qin Junyang who's clearly the more shameless one, isn't it?
However, he was magnanimous and didn't stoop to Qin Junyang's level.
He bent down to pick up the scabbard containing the Heaven-Slaying Sword, then sheathed the sword and carried it on his back.
Qin Junyang had already walked to the side of the man in black, his black boots stepping on the man's wound, forcing him to spit out two more mouthfuls of blood.
He questioned the man: "Why did you kill that family?"
He could sense a hint of the resentment of the dead emanating from the man.
That's why they were convinced from the beginning that this person killed Juanjuan's family.
"They're nothing but ants. They're dead, so be it..." The black-clad man's cloak fell open, and the half-mask he was wearing was shattered by Qin Junyang, revealing a face with a human face on the left and a skull on the right.
The fire in his eyes burned with a chilling intensity.
"You're actually a half-ghost." Qin Junyang, recognizing his true identity, asked with a grim expression, "Who is your master?"
Qin Junyang was a demigod, so he had always been discriminated against and was imprisoned in the Abyss by the gods. He had heard that half-ghosts were evil beings who voluntarily offered their souls to evil gods in exchange for power. From then on, they could continuously increase their power by consuming human flesh and souls.
Only an evil god could create a monster like a half-demon.
Therefore, he wanted to find out which god had been corrupted by evil thoughts and was committing evil deeds in the mortal realm.
"You are not worthy to know my master's name!" Knowing he was doomed, the man in black stopped trying to escape and gathered all his strength to self-destruct.
Qin Junyang sensed his intention, grabbed Yu Tang, and quickly retreated, while using his other hand to set up multiple barriers to block the force of the explosion.
When the smoke cleared, only a pool of dark red pus and blood remained on the ground.
Qin Junyang narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance: "He released a wisp of soul energy, probably to inform his master."
At the same time, the King of Yan, who had been burying his head in the woman's neck, raised his head, his lips stained crimson with the woman's blood.
He licked it contentedly, then grabbed a wisp of soul energy that flew towards him and swallowed it.
The image of Yu Tang and Qin Junyang killing the half-ghost flashed through his mind.
His red eyes turned black as he stood up, ran his fingers through his hair, and muttered to himself.
"No wonder, it turns out that little piece of trash escaped from the Dark Abyss."
"Don't chase after them..." Yu Tang stopped Qin Junyang, who was about to give chase, and said calmly, "We don't know their strength yet. If we chase after them, we might fall into a trap."
"You underestimate me?" Qin Junyang turned to look at him, his tone somewhat displeased: "Do you think I can't beat his master?"
“No…” Yu Tang shook his head: “I’m just worried that you’ll get hurt.”
Qin Junyang was stunned when he heard this.
After a moment, she silently withdrew her foot: "Since you're so worried about me, I'll stop chasing you for now."
"As a qualified partner, it is my duty to take your feelings into consideration."
Yu Tang was defeated by his arrogance.
The two then lifted the barrier and woke up the unconscious person.
I stayed in the city for a few days and helped bury the shopkeeper's family.
In front of the tombstone, Qin Junyang took Yu Tang's wine gourd, opened the stopper, and poured the wine into the soil.
Watching the wine slowly disappear.
He recalled the illusion he saw in the Heart-Questioning Zither and finally spoke to Yu Tang: "In the illusion, I saw myself giving up everything for someone, just so I could become human."
"I can't understand why I would have such a thought, after all..."
"Humans are too fragile."
"War, natural disasters, famine, and evil spirits can easily take their lives."
"How could I possibly give up my identity as a ghost or deity to choose to become such a fragile human?"
Yu Tang suddenly realized that when Qin Junyang mentioned the illusion, he thought the other party had regained his memories. But after hearing the rest, he realized that he hadn't.
He wasn't in a hurry, and said, "If you can't figure it out, then forget it."
"That's just a hollow illusion; the real choice should be made by you in reality."
He smiled at Qin Junyang: "But whatever choice you make, I will support you."
"Even if you choose to become a vulnerable human being, I will do everything in my power to protect you."
As he spoke, he patted the Heaven-Slaying Sword: "After all, you gave me such a wonderful divine weapon, I have to repay you, don't I?"
Qin Junyang looked at him.
He seemed lost in thought.
This is the first time someone has said they want to protect him.
Deep within my heart, a hidden stirring spread.
He spoke softly.
Yu Tang was asked, "Do you want to know who I chose to become human for in the illusion?"
"who?"
Qin Junyang extended his slender index finger and gently tapped Yu Tang's forehead.
"you……"
Chapter 17
The villain is resurrected for the ninth time (17)
Yu Tang's pupils dilated for a moment.
My heart started beating a little faster.
During the time he spent with Qin Junyang, the other party rarely spoke in such a serious tone.
The stark contrast made it hard for him not to be tempted.
He grasped Qin Junyang's fingers and began to ask directly, "So?"
What are you trying to say?
"Are you trying to tell me that you've fallen for me?"
Qin Junyang hadn't thought that far ahead; he simply expressed what was on his mind.
Now, reminded by Yu Tangyi, a surge of heat instantly rushed to his head.
She could even feel the burning heat of Yu Tang's grip on her fingers, so she quickly pulled them back and hid them behind her back.
"Who likes you! You shameless person!"
He looked at the sky and the ground, not daring to look at Yu Tang. His lips trembled, his cheeks flushed, and then he abandoned Yu Tang and ran away.
"Also, I would never like a man who has someone else in his heart!"
A question mark slowly appeared above Yu Tang's head.
He paused for a moment before remembering that he had told Qin Junyang that he had seen the person he liked in the illusion.
This has now caused Qin Junyang to misunderstand again.
Having figured it out, he quickly chased after Qin Junyang: "Don't run so fast, listen to me, I don't have anyone else in my heart, I was just teasing you before..."
Fifteen minutes later.
In mid-air, Yu Tang stood on the Heaven-Slaying Sword, with Qin Junyang standing behind him.
A hand reached out from beneath the dark gold robe, tugging at a corner of Yu Tang's garment, the expression on his face still grumpy.
More accurately, shyness played a larger role.
He tugged at the Taoist robe in his hand and asked again, "You really don't have anyone you like?"
"No..." Yu Tang had lost count of how many times he had answered Qin Junyang.
But he will answer any question asked.
Qin Junyang remained silent for a while, seemingly deep in thought.
Finally, as if making a huge decision, he asked Yu Tang, "So what do you think of me?"
Before Yu Tang could answer, he continued, "Look, before you met me, you were penniless, and you were using the lowest grade sword."
But after meeting me, you gained so much inexhaustible wealth, and even the Heaven-Slaying Sword, a divine weapon that ordinary people could only dream of obtaining. This proves that I…”
"You're destined to bring good fortune to your husband?" Yu Tang teased him with a smile. "So, you want me to marry you and make you my little darling?"
Qin Junyang never expected Yu Tang's direct shot to be so fierce.
He gripped Yu Tang's clothes so tightly that his knuckles didn't move for a long time.
"Little...little darling wife?" Realizing what she had said, she was embarrassed and instinctively pushed Yu Tang away: "I am a dignified ghost and god, how can I be your little darling wife? How can you talk such nonsense!"
