Chapter 53 (1/2)

Chapter 53 – The Most Powerful Bloodbath Sword

This was a wasteland that had experienced many wars. Bones and broken limbs were scattered across the entire place. Congealed blood made the ground look like it was covered with bloody patterns.

The wind howled as it swept up waves of sand. The entire place was silent and dead.

Zhou Xuanji and the rest looked at a mountain in front of them.

There stood a bloodied curved blade. The tip of the blade pointed downwards and was buried in the dirt. A gust of blood wind enveloped the blade.

Yes!

It was a blood wind!

A blood wind that was visible to the naked eye!

Little Jiang Xue and Huang Lianxin were both frightened by the blood-colored blade. It gave off an absolutely terrifying aura.

The younger girl asked carefully, “Could it be haunted?”

Even though she was a Foundation Building Stage cultivator, she still had an innate fear of ghosts.

“I’m afraid that it is,” the Sword Valiant coldly snorted.

As he finished speaking, he forcefully tossed out the sword in his hand.

Ranged Sword Propelling!

It was much slower than Zhou Xuanji’s Ranged Sword Propelling, but it was still fast.

Clang!

The blades clashed, but the blood-colored blade did not fall but deflected the Sword Valiant’s blade instead.

Zhou Xuanji, on the other hand, was conversing with the Sword Spirit. “Are you sure?” he asked sincerely.

“Yes. This is an evil blade, formed by blood Qi and bitterness. You can purify it by inserting the Bloodbath Sword, which will help to level-up the Bloodbath Sword.”

The Sword Spirit answered monotonously still.

Zhou Xuanji inquired further, “How many levels can it increase?”

“Confirmation can only be made after analyzing closely, but it could definitely be upgraded to Gold Grade.”

The Sword Spirit answered again, which excited him.

The Bloodbath Sword was different from other legendary swords. The more blood it absorbed, the more powerful it became.

And, there will inevitably be blood in killing enemies.

This meant that, once the Bloodbath Sword became the highest grade among his arsenal of legendary swords, it would become the most powerful one!

Seeing his own sword deflected, the Sword Valiant’s face turned sour.

Huang Lianxin looked around. The air was full of sand swept up by the wind. Dead bodies and loose rocks were scattered all across. It felt as though demons would appear charging at them at any moment.

“If this blade has a master, I’m afraid that its a trap.” She said.

Zhou Xuanji was also observing the surrounding. He instructed the dragon eagles, “Observe the situation from above.”

Ah Big and Small Er immediately took off into the air and swept up waves of sand.

Little Jiang Xue took our her Flaming Fan and was prepared for battle.

All of a sudden, six cultivators, four men and two ladies, were running toward them. Their clothes were all ragged and tattered and their bodies were bloodied. Fear was written all over their despaired faces.

When they saw Zhou Xuanji and his party, hope returned to them, and they immediately hastened their pace.

“Tsk tsk tsk… Where are you trying to flee?”

A cold and terrifying voice resounded under the vast sky, which gave Little Jiang Xue and Huang Lianxin goosebumps.

Zhou Xuanji squinted his eyes. He felt an extremely dangerous Qi-signature, like back when he faced Zhuang Huisheng.

The Sword Valiant had cold sweat on his forehead. He suddenly remembered something and muttered, “Could it be…”

“What is it?” Zhou Xuanji stood beside him and asked.

“Blood-drinking Blade Ye E’guan, from the Demonic Inferno Sect! He was once ranked in the Hero Ranking Board, but because of his wicked doings, he was on the wanted-list of the Great Zhou Empire and was kicked out of the ranking board.”

The Sword Valiant said softly. A sense of nervousness could be heard in his tone.

Demonic Inferno Sect!

This demonic sect again!

Zhou Xuanji could not help but remember the demonic cultivator Ye Feifan, whom he killed eight years ago. So, he asked, “Ye E’guan and Ye Feifan, how are these two related?”

The Sword Valiant answered, “Ye Feifan? The prodigy of the Demonic Inferno Sect that died strangely eight years ago? They were siblings.”
