Chapter 207: Ice King
🕑 Added 2024-10-11 05:10:55 +0000 UTCIn an instant, Zhao Huangwu’s figure split into hundreds of phantoms.
Blades of unparalleled sword light flickered as they charged toward Lei Lingfei!
Clang, clang, clang—
Lei Lingfei’s eyes widened in shock as he desperately used his blood-red blade to fend off the assault.
The Sword of Annihilation's deadly slashes struck his weapon, producing deafening metallic crashes.
Though the blood-red sword was incredibly durable, with each strike from the Sword of Annihilation, cracks began to form along its blade. The edge started to chip.
"Zhao Huangwu!"
"Do you really mean to kill me!?"
Lei Lingfei's eyes turned bloodshot as rage consumed him.
Even though Zhao Huangwu had lost an arm, wielding the Sword of Annihilation seemed to have made him even stronger!
Now, Lei Lingfei's weapon couldn’t withstand the relentless strikes from the Sword of Annihilation any longer.
"This sword is mine!"
Zhao Huangwu growled with a twisted expression, thrusting the sword forward once more.
Boom—
With another fierce strike, the blood-red blade shattered completely!
Lei Lingfei quickly discarded the broken hilt and retreated.
"I don’t want the sword anymore!"
Lei Lingfei called out as Zhao Huangwu pursued him with a murderous intent.
Zhao Huangwu’s power had grown too overwhelming—there was no way he could win!
But Zhao Huangwu wasn’t listening. Wielding the Sword of Annihilation, he pressed his attack!
"It’s too late now!"
Zhao Huangwu roared as he slashed through the air with the sword.
[Nether Flame Soul-Splitting Slash]!
Whoosh—
In an instant, a terrifying white flame erupted from the blade, racing toward Lei Lingfei!
Lei Lingfei's pupils contracted as he sensed the danger.
With a thought, his source power surged, forming a thick energy shield around him.
Boom—
The terrifying white flames slammed into Lei Lingfei’s barrier, producing an explosive roar.
"Damn it..."
Even though his source energy shield had formed in time, Lei Lingfei could still feel the intense heat of the flames.
It felt as if even his source energy might melt away.
Still, he believed he could withstand it!
Gritting his teeth, Lei Lingfei poured more energy into reinforcing his barrier.
Whoosh—
But in the next moment, a flash of sword light cut through his energy shield, slicing it in half!
[Source Slash]!
The source energy barrier stood no chance against the Sword of Annihilation, crumbling instantly under its power.
No!!!
Lei Lingfei’s eyes widened in panic as the white flames engulfed his entire body.
Intense pain wracked him as the flames burned his flesh.
In the next second, the Sword of Annihilation came down with a final strike, cleaving Lei Lingfei’s body in two!
Warm blood splattered across Zhao Huangwu’s face.
[Killed Martial King-level warrior, gained 1,000,000 evolution points]
[Absorbed Martial King-level essence blood, gained 100 energy points]
[Absorbed Martial King-level essence blood, gained 100 energy points]
...
Zhao Huangwu closed his eyes, feeling the surge of energy flowing into his body.
The Sword of Annihilation had absorbed the essence of Lei Lingfei’s blood, returning a portion of it to Zhao Huangwu.
Even though it wasn’t the full amount, it was still substantial.
"This sword is truly incredible," Zhao Huangwu muttered, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
But he quickly snapped out of his euphoria and turned his attention to his severed arm.
...
"This should do the trick."
Zhao Huangwu found a highly skilled healer who swiftly reattached his arm. Thanks to the special properties of source power, the nerves in his arm were reconnected.
While it wasn’t as flexible as before, it was a decent recovery.
Returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, Zhao Huangwu sat cross-legged and began cultivating.
As he held the Sword of Annihilation, the speed of his recovery increased dramatically.
Soon, the exterior of his arm looked as if it had never been severed.
Even the internal injuries were healing rapidly.
"With this sword, I will surely become a Martial Saint!"
"No, not just a Martial Saint. My goal is to become a Martial God!"
Zhao Huangwu’s excitement only grew as he gazed at the Sword of Annihilation in his hand.
"Becoming a Martial God is no easy feat," Ye Fan muttered sarcastically in response to Zhao Huangwu’s declaration.
"I have a feeling Zhao Huangwu won’t live long," Ye Fan added, with a chuckle.
...
Three days passed quickly.
In just those three days, Zhao Huangwu’s power had grown significantly!
And his severed arm had completely healed, thanks to the sword's powerful restorative properties.
"I can’t believe it," Zhao Huangwu marveled.
"Zhao Huangwu."
At that moment, a voice echoed from outside.
Hearing the voice, Zhao Huangwu’s expression shifted slightly.
With a thought, he sheathed the Sword of Annihilation.
The scabbard, crafted from special materials, couldn’t fully contain the sword's power, but it would suffice for now.
"Senior Ice King."
Zhao Huangwu stepped out and respectfully greeted the elderly man before him.
The elder was none other than the Martial King peak-level warrior known as Ice King.
He was the superior of Zhang Feifan, who was responsible for controlling the coffin bearers.
It was the Ice King who had placed the marks on the coffin bearers.
"I heard you killed all the coffin bearers," Ice King said, his eyes narrowing as he gazed at Zhao Huangwu.
"Yes, because they—"
Before Zhao Huangwu could finish speaking, Ice King’s palm swung out.
Smack—
The force of the slap sent Zhao Huangwu flying, crashing heavily into a nearby table, which shattered under the impact.
Cough, cough—
Zhao Huangwu coughed a few times before quickly getting to his feet.
Damn old man...
A deep malice flickered in Zhao Huangwu’s heart.
"When did my subordinates become yours to deal with?"
Ice King’s cold gaze bore into Zhao Huangwu as his voice dripped with disdain.
