Chapter 301 - Demon Scabbard and Cloud Sword (1/2)

Tian Yanzhong and Zuo Xiangsheng's voices?

Zhong Yue heard their voices and was startled,  Swords Gate really sent them here? However, although they are strong, they are still no match for a Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner….

Just when he thought of it, there was an incredible shockwave coming from the outside. It was the impact force from the clashings of the experts that even shook the bottom of the lake. Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er quickly surfaced and stood on the lake, they looked up and saw two young men fighting with the Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner Zhurong Changkong – it was Zuo Xiangsheng and Tian Yanzhong!

Zhurong Changkong was a peak Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners. His Avatar was incredibly strong, capable of controlling the clouds to form into his Avatar, huge and gigantic. But even so, Tian Yanzhong and Zuo Xiangsheng weren't totally at the lower hand, but instead, they were actually suppressing Zhurong Changkong's attacks.

It was all due to the two soul weapons they wielded. One was a sword scabbard that was one man tall with blood incessantly dripping from the scabbard. The sky became saturated with its bloody aura. Whenever the sword scabbard was opened, a huge wave of blood Qi would billow out from it. There seemed to be thin and light soul weapons hiding within the streams of blood Qi.

These soul weapons were shapeless and were around 130 in number. They formed an array behind his head along with his five light wheels. Above the sword scabbard was his revolving inner core that shone rays of light that counteracted the terrifying Blood Qi.

"The last of the Ten Malefic Weapons, the Demon Scabbard!" Zhong Yue exclaimed out of shock.

The Demon Scabbard was a soul weapon that Tian Tuozi of the Tian Feng Clan wielded thousands of years ago. Like the other malefic weapons, it became as such upon devouring its master. After that, it was enshrined in the Valley of Swords.

Zhong Yue has seen it before in the Heart of Sword Palace in the Valley of Swords. It was dark, gloomy, and nefariously evil as if it could suck the soul out from your body.

Zuo Xiangsheng wielded a soul weapon that was even more bizarre and shocking than the Demon Scabbard; it seemed nothing more than a cloud that was blood red in color. But it could morph into any shape and form its master desired. It could seep through the smallest hole and strike from any direction. Moreover, it had different powers and abilities depending on the form that it took!

The cloud Qi was extremely peculiar. It moved around as if it had its own life and thoughts. It surged with a savagery that reminded one of a beast trying to break free of its shackles. It was a significant threat to Zhurong Changkong.

No matter how many times Zhurong Changkong struck at it with his own soul weapon, he couldn't get rid of the cloud Qi at all!

"The sixth of the Ten Malefic Weapons – the Cloud Sword!"

Zhong Yue was once again shocked. The Cloud Sword was listed as the sixth of the Ten Malefic Weapons. It seemed related to clouds, but it really wasn't. It was, in fact, a soul weapon that was refined to the highest caliber, to the incorporeal state, allowing it to be able to change and morph at will!

The Cloud Sword could be a cloud, sword, shield, clothes, or even a beast!

The Demon Scabbard was formless, and the Cloud Sword was incorporeal. Both of these were at consummate stages that were basically unreachable for other soul weapons to ascend to!

In the past, there were many examples of masters being devoured by the Ten Malefic Weapons; Lei Hong from not long ago was a perfect example that was killed by the Blood Ray Sword.

They have the Ten Malefic Weapons, no wonder they dare to come to the South Barren.

Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief. Although the Heavenly Dharma expert was strong, he would be no match against two of such insidious weapons.

Fish Dragon, Lotus Rain, Sword Hill, Golden Bolus, Nan Shan, Cloud Sword, Flying Swallow, Sword Cocoons, Blood Ray and Demon Scabbard ... The masters that forged the Ten Malefic Weapons were all magnates of Swords Gate, men who stood on the summit of their eras, paragons that walked on their own paths to their extremities.

Their soul weapons inherited their personalities and were thus accordingly extreme in nature. As such, other than Shui Zian who forged the Sword Cocoons, the other nine Swords Gate magnates died from the overbearing nature of their own soul weapons!

Tian Yanzhong and Zuo Xiangsheng were both talented young men, their prowess in the Inner Core level was already prodigious. In addition to the Cloud Sword and Demon Scabbard, even though Zhurong Changkong was still putting up a fight, his fate had already been decided.

It was only a matter of whether or not he could survive long enough until the reinforcement from the Zhong Li Celestial Race's border came to his rescue!

The ones who could be stationed at the border would surely be an existence on par with Gu Hongzi, someone who was at least a Heavenly Dharma cultivator. And Tian Yanzhong and Zuo Xiangsheng wouldn't be able to take it if another Heavenly Dharma cultivator joined the battle!

Furthermore, there was also the Zhong Li Celestial Race's godly spirit guarding the border of the South Barren. They could only end this battle as quickly as possible and take down this Zhurong Changkong. Otherwise, they might die here!

"Senior Martial Brother Zuo and Senior Martial Brother Tian, can they control the malefic weapons?" Qiu Jin'er mumbled.

Zhong Yue was also feeling anxious for the two senior martial brothers. The ten malefic weapons beside the Sword Cocoons had reaped more than ten of their masters' lives!

Including one of the Innate Spirit Body holder, Lei Hong!

If Zuo Xiangsheng and Tian Yanzhong couldn't control the ten malefic weapons, they would only share the same tragic fate as their predecessors!

The battle started quickly and ended quickly; Zuo Xiangsheng and Tian Yanzhong didn't look like they could control the malefic weapons. Instead, it was the malefic weapons that controlled them; the two armaments were like two fierce beasts that rushed over to devour Zhurong Changkong. The Demon Scabbard sucked his Yuan Shen away while the Cloud Sword devoured all of his flesh.

Zhong Yue's brows raised, these two malefic weapons didn't seem like they came from the Swords Gate, but more like the demon experts. Even after they killed Zhurong Changkong, the two soul weapons were still quivered from their insatiable desire for blood and souls!
