Chapter 1304 - Demon Sword Tomb (1/2)

Lin Huang’s vision blurred for a moment, and he found himself in an environment completely different from before.

In place of the ten-thousand-foot cliff was an expanse of flatland, which stretched as far as the eye could see.

Although neither trees nor gra.s.s grew on the dry, fissured ground, swords of varying shapes and sizes were planted upright in the earth.

As Lin Huang was wondering what trials he would face at this level, a push notification appeared before him.

“Second Stage: Demon Sword Tomb.”

“All swords within the Demon Sword Tomb are demon swords that are possessed. Each demon sword craves to be near living beings in order to possess their physical bodies. These possessed beings then become servants to the swords, bringing them out of the Demon Sword Tomb and thus releasing them.”

“Use of all flying and teleportation skills is prohibited at this level. The partic.i.p.ant must walk through the Demon Sword Tomb and reach the tomb’s exit in order to pa.s.s this level.”

“Note 1: As the partic.i.p.ant’s combat skill level is limited, only demon swords that have not achieved Sword Dao true meaning are allowed to challenge the partic.i.p.ant.”

“Note 2: The partic.i.p.ant will be attacked by demon swords if he steps onto or walks past any territory belonging to said swords. If he steps onto or walks past territory that belongs to more than one demon sword, he will be attacked at the same time by all the demon swords.”

“Note 3: Every demon sword possesses the sword skills of their previous owners; each sword has also inherited the gift and ability of their most powerful owner.”

Lin Huang lifted his eyes and gazed into the distance after reading all the push notifications.

The swords had all been scattered randomly across the ground with no discernible pattern in the way they were situated. The nearest distance between two swords was only about two to three meters while the farthest was about ten to twenty meters. There was no distance greater than that. A bird’s eye view of the area would reveal that the swords were spread densely across the ground.

“These swords are so close to each other. It’s either that the demon swords have a limited sensing range, or they were purposely arranged this way so they could attack partic.i.p.ants en ma.s.se. From the way the previous partic.i.p.ant peed on himself, the latter’s more likely.”

While Lin Huang was observing the demon swords’ scattered placement, another push notification suddenly appeared before him.

“As the partic.i.p.ant has stayed three extra days in the previous level, those three days will be deducted one by one in subsequent levels.”

“The total length of time a.s.signed for completion of this level is three days. One day will be deducted from the total. The partic.i.p.ant must complete the level within two days, otherwise it will be counted as a failure.”

“If the partic.i.p.ant uses less than two days to finish this level, the extra time can be used to offset the extra days used in the previous level.”

“This means that if I only use a day to pa.s.s this level, the extra two days can be used to offset the days I owe. That will leave me owing just one day, right? If I finish this level in half a day, does that mean I can use the remaining time to offset two and a half days?” Lin Huang asked hurriedly.

“The time owed will be calculated in hours. The partic.i.p.ant owes a total of 72 hours.”

Lin Huang nodded with a smile. “Understood. Let’s begin!”

Lin Huang took the first step forward as soon as he finished speaking.

He did not break into a run; he merely wanted to test how strong these demon swords were.

Lin Huang’s step was reminiscent of him prodding a wasp’s nest. Hundreds of demon swords around him began quivering. Some even flew out of the ground, coming straight toward him.

Lin Huang raised his brows as he sensed the Sword Dao within the demon swords. “You’re only at level-1 Sword Dao and you dare to challenge me. You’re really brash.”

He did not even bother to draw his sword. He glared at the few battle swords flying through the air and a flash of sword gleam appeared in his eyes.

The next moment, the furiously approaching swords swiftly retreated, as if seriously injured by something, and immediately shot back to their original places.

At the same time, these swords that had been forced to retreat each released a tiny glimmer of starlight, all of which flew slowly towards Lin Huang.
