Chapter 593: A Murder Sword?

Chapter 593 Chapter 593 - A Murder Sword?

In front of him, a thick smell of blood permeated the air and spread to the surroundings, causing the area to be slightly red. Looking at the bright red scene in front of him, Xiao Han was stunned.

He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the long sword in his hand. Then, he was stunned again.

He saw that in his hand, the ancient sword that was originally plain and unadorned had changed its appearance. The sword's surface began to shine, and the originally rusty appearance had also changed. It looked like it had a sharp aura. It was as if a slumbering god had finally awakened, bringing a majestic and sacred power.

It was rusty and mottled, but at this moment, there was a powerful force that swept forward, sweeping through everything.

"This is..."

Looking at the long sword in his hand, Xiao Han muttered. He did not manage to react in

time.

However, there were people in front who reacted much faster. A figure quickly rushed over and crashed into Xiao Han's body. A massive force dissipated, and there were traces of Gen Qi fluctuations within. Like a wild beast, it suddenly erupted with a terrifying attack.

This was Liu Xiong. At that moment, he decisively attacked. His remaining arm extended towards Xiao Han's hand, directly reaching for the ancient sword. From its looks, it seemed like he wanted to snatch the sword.

"Not good!"

In an instant, Xiao Han realized that it was not good.

Just now, the ancient sword suddenly erupted. Although it heavily injured Liu Xiong, it could not change that the other party's strength was still above his.

With his current strength, if the ancient sword in his hand were snatched away by the other party, he would be in danger. Moreover, this was an opportunity that belonged to him.

Forget about the spiritual herbs from before, but the ancient sword was not an ordinary object in front of him. It was still very extraordinary even if it was not a Heavenly Weapon. It was the biggest opportunity that Xiao Han had ever encountered since he stepped onto the path of cultivation.

It would be unacceptable if such an opportunity were also snatched away, then it would be unacceptable. Various thoughts flashed through his mind in a flash, and then he became firm.

In front of him, Liu Xiong's ferocious face appeared. Looking at this face, Xiao Han's heart was filled with viciousness. He wanted to fight to the death with his opponent.

A clear sound appeared in front of him. Under Xiao Han's somewhat puzzled gaze, Liu Xiong's body began to retreat. As if he had suffered a backlash, an incredulous expression appeared on his face.

On his body, numerous cracks began to appear. Within them, incomparably sharp Sword Qi swept in all directions, crisscrossing the area.

Liu Xiong's face revealed a look of disbelief. He stared blankly at the ancient sword in Xiao Han's hand. "This sword..."

Regret appeared on his face. Soon after, his body could no longer hold on and directly collapsed. He fell to the ground and turned into a pile of flesh and blood.

Xiao Han stood there in a daze, looking at everything in front of him. It took him a long time to react.

'It's over?'

He looked at Liu Xiong's corpse, and this thought flashed through his mind.

Liu Xiong was not an ordinary person in the Qionghua Sword Sect. Among the disciples of the Qionghua Sword Sect, he was able to act tyrannically due to his strength.

Liu Xiong's strength was at least at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Stage, and he was not far from entering the Foundation Establishment Stage of the inner sect.

With such strength, he could be a deacon among ordinary disciples. If he went outside, he could even be the leader of a region. He was not weak. And now, such a person had died just like that. He died cleanly and without leaving a single trace.

And the cause of his death was only because an ancient sword had slashed at him. Xiao Han suddenly shivered and hurriedly looked at the ancient sword in his hand with this thought in mind.

He began to observe. He did not know if it was an illusion, but at that moment, he felt that the ancient sword in front of him seemed to have changed. The mottled marks on it seemed to have receded a little and had a hint of life.

Before observing, a warm current surged out from his body and surged into his body. It was extremely pure energy that was different from Gen Qi. The moment it appeared in Xiao Han's body, it fused with his body, causing magic powers in his body to begin to strengthen. "This is!"

Immediately, Xiao Han's expression changed as he sensed his change. With the help of that brand new energy, his cultivation was rapidly growing. He had advanced by more than half.

This kind of growth was very fast. It had saved him several months of bitter cultivation in just an instant, and his strength had advanced by a large margin. When the warm current in the ancient sword had disappeared, Xiao Han's strength had already advanced to a higher level.

"This ancient sword!"

Feeling the increasing strength of his body, Xiao Han was immediately shocked. Looking at the ancient sword in his hand, his face revealed an ecstatic expression. "Is this the power of a Heavenly Weapon?"

At this moment, he was sure. The ancient sword in his hand was not an ordinary weapon but an actual Heavenly Weapon.

Yes, a Heavenly Weapon. Ordinary weapons did not have any special features. Only an actual Heavenly Weapon would have the real supernatural ability.

For example, the Qionghua Sword Sect's Qionghua Sword was rumored to have a unique power that helped the sword wielder cultivate sword techniques, allowing him to enter the path of enlightenment.

And that warm current just now was undoubtedly the magical aspect of this ancient sword in front of him.

"Ever since I killed Liu Xiong, that power has been seized. Could it be that the magical aspect of this divine weapon is to kill the enemy and seize a portion of his cultivation back?"

Xiao Han recalled the scene just now, standing on the spot, and various thoughts flashed through his mind. "If that's the case, then this sword is undoubtedly a Murder Sword."

If this wasn't a Murder Sword to gain power through killing others, then what was it?

It was just that this kind of ability was too powerful, and it made people's hearts flutter, especially for ordinary cultivators like Xiao Han. For ordinary cultivators like him who didn't have powerful aptitudes or great backgrounds, such a Murder Sword was extremely suitable.

There was no need to collect all sorts of heavenly and earthly treasures painstakingly, nor did he need all sorts of spirit stones. As long as he continued to kill, he would be able to increase his strength continuously.

Without a doubt, this was a function that many people yearned for. If many cultivators in the outside world knew about the effects of this ancient sword, even someone like the Qionghua Sect master would be tempted and come to snatch it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Han's face was full of joy. Looking at the ancient sword in his hand, the more he looked, the happier he became. Without him knowing, Chen Heng was also smiling inside the ancient sword.

"It seems that he is quite satisfied with this effect."

Chen Heng observed Xiao Han's reaction and could not help but smile. After experiencing so many worlds, he was very clear about the thoughts of a cultivator like Xiao Han.

He used this method to make himself a tool man in the main world. Now, it was the same.

It was exactly what Xiao Han had thought. As long as the ancient sword that Chen Heng had transformed into killed the enemy, it would be able to reflect the power and increase the opponent's cultivation base.

This was essentially the use of the slaughter divinity. Although Chen Heng was only using a part of his true spirit to carry out the simulation, he had everything he needed to bring. Naturally, his divinity was the same.

With the support of the slaughter divinity, the ancient sword could instantly kill the enemy and obtain the slaughter power. Of course, the majority of the power of slaughter was naturally Chen Heng's.

As for the portion that Xiao Han obtained, it was only a portion of the power that Chen Heng had returned.

Of course, even though it was only a portion of the power, it was purified by Chen Heng. It wouldn't cause any hidden danger to people, so it could be considered as taking what one needed.

The reason for this was naturally to find a tool man. After all, Chen Heng's main body was a sword. If he were to kill randomly, who knew what would happen. Who knows when he would be treated as a demonic sword and sealed directly by others. But if he were to let others take him and kill people, the sin of killing people would be someone else's. He was just a tool who had no part of it.

Also, Chen Heng didn't worry that others wouldn't fall for it. After all, not many people could resist the temptation of such a Murder Sword that could increase their strength through killing. For many people, this was a good thing

And from this process, Chen Heng's goal was achieved. A bit of life essence fused into Chen Heng's body. Without Xiao Han noticing, Liu Xiong's corpse in front of him was rapidly changing, and the ancient sword quickly absorbed the essence within that Chen Heng had transformed into.

This was the effect of the Heaven-Swallowing Scripture. Chen Heng wanted to find a tool man partly for the killing power and partly to reasonably obtain the blood essence of others.

The ancient sword slowly exerted its strength and absorbed all the life essence from Liu Xiong's corpse in front of him.

Very soon, Liu Xiong's corpse turned into a dry corpse. This kind of abnormality was quickly discovered by Xiao Han, which immediately shocked him.

However, he was not too surprised. Instead, he came to a sudden realization and came up with a reasonable explanation.

"So that's how it is.

"Is it through absorbing the Blood Qi of others to feed the sword wielder?"

Xiao Han came to a sudden realization and thought so at this moment. The killing divinity only needed to carry out the slaughter, and it could obtain power through the unseen feedback of rules. It did not need to make any changes to the corpse itself.

However, this was undoubtedly too high-end. Even a legendary existence in the World of Gods would be unable to understand it, not to mention ordinary cultivators like Xiao Han.

Therefore, Xiao Han thought the scene in front of him was a way to absorb Blood Qi to give feedback on cultivation. This situation was only reasonable in Xiao Han's heart.

Otherwise, where would the power come from if the ancient sword did not absorb something?

"There seem to be no aftereffects..."

When the feedback from the ancient sword was completely over, Xiao Han roughly felt his situation, and then this thought flashed through his mind.

There were also methods to absorb Blood Qi to strengthen one's cultivation in this world. However, most of those methods would leave behind very obvious aftereffects. It would either cause his body to change or affect his body extremely easily. It could even lead to Qi deviation and death.

Therefore, most of these techniques would only be used by people from the demonic path. They were extremely dangerous techniques.

However, Xiao Han did not feel any hidden dangers left behind by those techniques. From what he felt, he was extremely normal at the moment. His entire body did not seem to be affected at all.
