Chapter 208 - Spirit-annihilation Halberd (2/2)

However, at this moment, Xiao Chen felt no fear. Rather, he felt a sense of affection from the weapon. For some reason, the demonic weapon in front of him felt very familiar. It was as if the halberd was once his many years ago.

Zuoqiu Yang sneered when he saw Xiao Chen staring at his weapon, looking spellbound. “What’s wrong? Did this scare you speechless?” Then, he lunged at Xiao Chen with his halberd.

Cold wind immediately rose against a background of incessant demonic hissing. The cultivators outside cried out in fear. If Zuoqiu Yang’s attack truly hit Xiao Chen, it wouldn’t just hurt Xiao Chen’s physical body but would steal the latter’s soul as well.

Xiao Chen seemed like he was at a loss as he watched the halberd lunge at him dazedly. He didn’t try to dodge at all. With a whizzing sound, the tip of the halberd pierced his chest.

“Pfft!” Blood sprayed from Xiao Chen’s mouth. Even so, he refused to retreat. He lowered his head and quietly stared at the demonic halberd that had pierced his body. He reached out and gently wiped off the blood on the halberd.

The cultivators outside were astonished. What was he doing? Had he gone mad?

Zuoqiu Yang narrowed his eyes. The Spirit-annihilation Halberd was an incredible weapon that possessed the ability to plunge people’s mind into disorder. Did this kid fall prey to this ability? He knew this was his chance to eliminate Xiao Chen. He bellowed, “Spirit-devouring and Soul-snatching!” He immediately poured a burst of vital force into the body of the halberd.

Everyone expected to see the halberd claim Xiao Chen’s soul but nothing of the sort happened. The halberd seemed to have turned into an ordinary weapon in a flash. Zuoqiu Yang tried again and again to cast his spell, but the halberd remained motionless.

Xiao Chen had also recovered his senses by now. Subconsciously, his back was soaked with cold sweat. What was wrong with him earlier? When the tip of the halberd pierced him, he felt as if he saw many indistinct but dreadful scenes flashing before him: the collapse of the world, the death of Immortals and Devils…

It truly deserved its title as a demonic weapon to possess such an unexpected ability to plunge minds into chaos. A bellow erupted from him as he slammed a palm attack on Zuoqiu Yang. Zuoqiu Yang was caught unaware while he was reciting a spell, having not expected Xiao Chen to suddenly snap out of it. Xiao Chen’s palm attack hit him in the pit of the chest and sent him flying while coughing up blood.

Once again, Zuoqiu Yang crashed to the ground. His face had gone pale. What was going on? Why couldn’t he use the magic power of the Spirit-annihilation Halberd at all? Many years ago, he had seen with his own eyes how his great-grandfather claim the soul of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator with his halberd!

Was his cultivation too low? Impossible. Even if it was a person with low cultivation wielding the Spirit-annihilation Halberd, the weapon shouldn’t be acting like an ordinary iron weapon. After pondering this, he once again poured sufficient vital force into the halberd.

“Spirit-annihilation Halberd, move! Suck that person’s soul dry!”

“When you rely on an object to improve your strength, you’ll eventually realize it’s just an illusion!”

Following Xiao Chen’s bellow, he raised his blade and lunged at Zuoqiu Yang. The blood-red saber radiance lit up a radius of more than one hundred feet. Zuoqiu Yang propped up his halberd to block the attack. The collision resulted in a loud explosion. Zuoqiu Yang was flung forty to fifty feet away before regaining firm footing. He felt as if both his arms were about to fall off. Even the skin between his thumb and forefinger was bleeding.

“What the heck is going on?! Impossible! Why did the Spirit-annihilation Halberd lose all of its power to protect its owner?!” Zuoqiu Yang exclaimed. It was as if he had seen something terrifying.

Xiao Chen sneered. “Do you think you’re worthy of owning a legendary weapon from the Archean Eon?” he yelled as he struck Zuoqiu Yang again.

Time and again, Zuoqiu Yang tried to resist Xiao Chen’s attacks but his feet kept bringing him backward. Now, other than the fact the Spirit-annihilation wouldn’t break, it was no different from an ordinary weapon.

In the distance, the onlookers were watching with great concentration. Some began discussing the battle. “It’s really a fake. How could a legendary weapon from the Archean Eon like that fall into the hands of the Zuoqiu family?”

Right then, tens of silhouettes appeared. These were the best experts of the Zuoqiu family. The leaders were several Elders in the peak of Core Forming Realm cultivation. Seeing that his family members were here, Zuoqiu Yang dared not to remain on the defensive. Ignoring the fact that his weapon was no longer magical, he roared and thrust his halberd at the Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen scoffed. He pointed the saber in his right hand upward and formed a bullet of energy inside his sleeve with his left hand. A stream of air flowed outward to Zuoqiu Yang’s underbelly.

The shortsighted Zuoqiu Yang took the hit straight on out of fear of an ambush. Instantly, he felt numb all over. Simultaneously, Xiao Chen pushed the Spirit-annihilation Halberd out of his hand. The weapon went flying out of his grasp.

Like a bolt of lightning, Xiao Chen took the opportunity to attack. He kicked Zuoqiu Yang on the lower jaw and sent him flying. He also used his psychokinesis at the same time and grabbed the Spirit-annihilation Halberd in the air. Immediately, it fell into his hand.

The moment the halberd landed on his hand, the situation immediately changed. The weapon emitted the hissing of a demon and an overwhelming demonic Qi instantly filled the air, making everyone’s heart jump in fright.
