Chapter 574 - Divine Artifact? (2/2)

A plume of dark mist burst out from behind him and transformed into the shape of a snarling dragon that writhed toward Chen Fan.

That dark energy was “Terror Qi” that he had collected every time he killed an innocent person. The plume of Terror Qi contained the rage and fear of over a million innocents before their deaths. It was able to corrupt even the Divine Soul of an Immortal State Warrior.

“Kill!” Chen Fan shouted a command.

A hundred or so rays of Blade Aura fell from the sky, each sharper than the one before it. Their appearance created many golden streaks in the sky, looking like golden threads from a distance.

Rain of Flying Swords!

The power of the attack could only be compared with the might of Mount Shu’s Sword Immortals.

Many onlookers pulled in a gasp of cold air.

“So, is this Chen Beixuan’s true power? It’s unbelievable! No wonder the seven Immortal State Warriors couldn’t bring him to heel even after they joined forces. I also heard that he had even killed a Mortal Deity,” someone exclaimed.

This man was wearing a tight black outfit over his hulking frame. There was a badge on his chest that depicted an angel with red wings. He was a mercenary from the Crimson Wings.

It was James Hutton, the new captain of the Crimson Wings and a new name on the Dark Roll.

“Chen Beixuan, Blood Knight, and the Earl of Terror, all of them are the stuff of legend. Each of them has marked an entire generation,” a blond man lamented.

If Chen Fan had seen his face, he would have surely recognized the Son of the G.o.d, Adam.

“Shush now! the Dark Duke is going to join in,” someone else cut him short.

Nearly all the onlookers outside of the Wisteria Manor were famous Overlords in Europe and each represented a formidable force.

“Peng! Peng!”

A shower of Blade Aura pierced into the Terror Qi, and churned the deadly qi around. Despite the harmless appearance, the Terror Qi was able to significantly dim the golden aura upon contact.

Such was the power of the Terror Qi harnessed over a hundred years by the Earl of Terror.

However, the Blade Auras had an upper hand thanks to their number; they forced the Earl of Terror and the Blood Knight into a corner. Chen Fan still had about a dozen Blade Auras to spare, so he used them against the other attackers.

“Bang!”

The Devil of Death’s body flickered a little.

He faded in and out of view like a phantom, easily breaking the supersonic barrier and reaching twice the speed of sound.

As the Devil of Death broke the supersonic barrier, twenty Blade Auras followed suit. The Devil of Death let out a snicker and then produced a dagger with a hazy looking body.

The Dark World Arbitration Department’s Divine Artifact!

Angel’s Thirteen Octaves

This legendary Divine Artifact was created by a Deity who had thrived in the Middle East from the rib bone of an Angel. It was enchanted with thirteen curses.

“Plague, aging, poison curse…”

Each one more deadlier than the other.

The Devil of Death had unleashed the Plague curse once, terminating the entire population of a small European nation as a punishment for that country’s disobedience.

“Clank, clank!”

The black dagger and the Blade Auras clashed against each other.

After each impact, the hazy darkness that shrouded the dagger was able to bring the brightness of the Blade Auras down a notch. So deadly and pervasive were the curses on the Angel’s Thirteen Octaves that not even a flying sword could escape its deadly grip.

“Boom!”

The Dark Duke finally attacked.

Of the five Arbitrators, he was the most influential and the strongest Dark Lord. His attacks were bound to make a difference on the battlefield.

The Dark Duke’s punch was so fast that it created a vacuum around it, which he quickly filled up with his Essence Qi, turning the qi-filled vacuum into a void in s.p.a.ce that attracted all other energies around it.

Ten Blade Auras were unable to fight back the inescapable force and plummet into the void.

In the end, the Blade Auras as well as the black hole disappeared into thin air.

“Fiend Fist of Annihilation.”

The Dark Energy had combined martial arts from both the East and the West, creating a new style in the process. So powerful was this punch that it countered ten Blade Auras at once.

“Donn Donn Donn”

The other four Arbitrators started their own arts to fight back against the Blade Auras.

In the end, there was only one ray of Blade Aura left, and it belonged to the Sword of Essence Restoring.

The sword vibrated in the air, letting out a saddened droning. It had sustained some damage during Chen Fan’s battle in Chu Zhou City and it had yet to recover. Once it was split into many Blade Auras, it had finally reached its limit.

“Come back.”

Chen Fan waved a hand and summoned the blade back.

“Chen Beixuan, your Divine Artifact is useless now, what else do you have?”

The Blood Knight Claude sn.i.g.g.e.red.

The other fighters laughed gloatingly while Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa’s heart sank to the floor.

“Do you think that you’re the only ones who have Spirit Artifacts?”

Chen Fan shook his head and fished out an azure seal from the little gourd.

The azure seal was covered with zigzagging etchings. A deafening clap of thunder erupted in the sky as soon as the seal was revealed.

This was a Mid-grade Spirit Artifact:

The Thunder Seal!
