Chapter 208 Spirit-annihilation Halberd (1/2)
It was none other than Zuoqiu Yang. The independent cultivator from the Northern Wilderness knew that Zuoqiu Yang was mocking him but didn't argue with him. He sneered inwardly, thinking, ”Go ahead, boy. Since you think you're not embarrassed enough the first time around, go for the second round.”
Zuoqiu Yang stopped about 30 meters away from Xiao Chen and bellowed, ”Devil, it'll be your death anniversary on this day next year!”
Xiao Chen looked up. Now knee-deep in his lust for blood, he sneered and said, ”Oh? Haven't I already defeated you? Not only are you ungrateful to me for pardoning your life, but you're even going so far as to dig your own grave now.”
Zuoqiu Yang's spirited face turned ashen as he started to tremble. His family had nurtured him like a genius since young and he had never tasted defeat in his life. He had created many legends that not even his ancestors were capable of achieving.
Today, however, this previously unknown youngster had stepped all over him. This was the greatest humiliation of his life. He was determined to kill Xiao Chen with his own hands to regain his honor!
”That's enough talk from you! Have you thought of how you'd like to die?!” Following his bellow, he mobilized all of his strength and punched Xiao Chen with lightning-fast speed.
With the flare of his golden fist radiance, he produced an earth-shattering force similar to the eruption of a volcano that had been lying dormant for years and years. Everything around him turned into dust under such power.
One after another, the onlooking cultivators outside exclaimed in astonishment. That was the furious attack of a peak Core Forming Realm cultivator!
Xiao Chen sneered. He poured his True Energy aggressively into his hands and pushed both of his palms at the same time. Two golden illusory dragons emerged from his palms along with the incessant roaring of dragons. Two earth-shattering forces interweaved and instantly turned into a large circle of light. The circle of light started extending outward in all directions.
Several heavily-injured but still breathing Core Forming Realm cultivators weren't able to escape in time. While the rest watched in horror, the explosion of the forces killed them without even leaving their skeletons behind. Their bodies dissipated amid the dust and sand that filled the sky.
The gale whizzed nonstop. The onlooking cultivators outside had long gone into shock. The two powers coming from these two could be aptly summed up with the word ”terrifying”.
Zuoqiu Yang was wearing a cold smirk. Like a mountain standing tall amidst the rubble, he remained motionless. On the other hand, Xiao Chen was thrown backward by quite a few steps before he regained his footing. He couldn't help feeling alarmed. His opponent's cultivation had become stronger.
”Hehe! Do you finally understand the disparity between us? If you kneel and plead with me, I might consider pardoning your life! Hehe!”
It wasn't easy for Zuoqiu Yang to steal this opportunity. This time, he could finally mock Xiao Chen without fear. He felt as if he had finally scrubbed his previous disgrace clean.
Xiao Chen scoffed. ”Let's see if you have that capability!” He moved his fingers to cast a spell. Instantly, the Blood Lotus Demon Blade appeared in his hand.
Immediately, a cold wind swept the entire place, bringing with it a thick fog. In the distance, many of whom were injured but not dead saw their blood flowing out of them and converging toward the blade. The radiance of the blade reached for miles and miles. One could even hear faint wailing coming from the blade.
Then, the expression of the cultivators outside changed drastically. ”Dear God! What the heck is that?!”
Zuoqiu Yang was no longer anxious as he had been before. He sneered and said, ”What's wrong? Don't tell me you think the Zuoqiu family, with our thousand-year history, really wouldn't possess a commendable legendary weapon?”
He recited a spell and a three-sided halberd appeared in his hand. The world instantly changed. Layers upon layers of dark clouds gathered in the sky overhead. One could faintly hear the whistling of devils.
The fully black halberd was about ten feet long. Layers of dark Qi shrouded its body and a ghastly human skull was fixed on its tail.
Everyone outside cried out in alarm.
”Don't tell me that's the number one demonic weapon from the Archaeon Eon, the Spirit-annihilation Halberd.”
”Oh God, tell me that it's fake! The Spirit-annihilation Halberd was the weapon of the greatest Devil King in the Archean Eon! It was forged out of the souls of 3,000 Rogue Immortals and 300 true Immortals! How did it end up with the Zuoqiu family?!”
The dark clouds overhead were rolling through the sky. High-pitched howling emerged from the ground as if it had come from the 18th levels of hell. Even Xiao Chen's Blood Lotus Demon Blade was trembling nonstop in his hand. It wasn't the weapon itself that was shaking because of excitement. Rather, its spirit was the one shivering.
If the Blood Lotus Demon Blade was considered the most bloodthirsty object in the world, then the Spirit-annihilation Halberd in Zuoqiu Yang's hand would be the object that was most prone to devouring spirits in the world. It was strong enough to swallow the soul of any cultivator.
