Chapter 100: Do Not Provoke Him
🕑 Added 2024-09-19 06:35:34 +0000 UTCThe seventh-tier warrior roared, his voice filled with desperation.
Even though he had used one of his own men as a human shield, his remaining subordinates still charged at Ren Xing with their weapons drawn.
"What a bunch of fools," Ren Xing sneered.
[Phantom Dance]!
In an instant, he activated the skill.
"That old man, he’s mastered the energy consumption of this skill down to a fine art," Ye Fan remarked, impressed.
Of all the past sword masters, Ren Xing was the only one who meticulously studied every skill, calculating the exact amount of energy required for each move.
It was a testament to Ren Xing’s scheming nature, always calculating every step, every resource.
As Phantom Dance unfolded, Ren Xing’s figure blurred, leaving behind afterimages. The next moment, the ground was littered with bodies as his sword moved like a blur.
[Killed fourth-tier warrior, gained 400 evolution points]

[Absorbed fourth-tier warrior's blood, gained 0.4 energy points]
[Absorbed fourth-tier warrior's blood, gained 0.4 energy points]
Other than the seventh-tier warrior, the rest of his subordinates were merely fourth-tier. The battle barely increased his evolution and energy points.
“Not many points from that,” Ye Fan muttered.
Having grown used to the massive boosts from killing seventh-tier warriors and gaining thousands of points, these meager gains felt underwhelming.
"Now it’s your turn," Ren Xing said coldly, his gaze locking onto the seventh-tier warrior.
The warrior’s eyes filled with terror. He couldn’t believe how quickly Ren Xing had slaughtered his men.
But what terrified him even more was the sight of their blood, floating in the air and being absorbed by Ren Xing’s sword.
This weapon... it was no ordinary sword—it was a demonic sword!
Even Tiger Brother, who had once fought Ren Xing, was now wide-eyed. He knew Ren Xing’s strength, but what he was witnessing now was beyond anything he had seen before. Ren Xing’s power had skyrocketed, far beyond what it was before.
Had he gained this strength from the ancient inheritance?
Tiger Brother felt a pang of regret. If only he had entered the ruins earlier, this power could have been his. Now, all he could do was lament his missed opportunity.
"He's a demon! Everyone, kill him!"
The seventh-tier warrior shouted as he quickly grabbed another sword from the ground, preparing for battle.
[Seventh-tier martial skill: Blazing Flame Slash]!!
He roared as his energy surged into his weapon. With a mighty slash, a crescent-shaped arc of burning red flame shot toward Ren Xing.
"Pathetic," Ren Xing muttered, raising Soul Cleaver to strike back.
[Nether Flame Soul Slash]!
A crescent-shaped white flame shot from Ren Xing’s sword, colliding with the red flames in a deafening explosion. The white fire easily overpowered the red, continuing its deadly course toward the warrior.
Boom!
The white flames engulfed the man, and his screams echoed as his body was consumed in the inferno, turning him into a burning figure.
The remaining warriors recoiled in terror, their bodies trembling as they backed away. None of them dared to approach Ren Xing, overwhelmed by the sheer heat emanating from the white flames that scorched the air around them.
Ren Xing, unfazed, swung Soul Cleaver once more, ending the warrior’s life.
"Unbelievable… he’s so strong!"
One of the onlookers gasped, his voice quivering.
A seventh-tier warrior—slain in mere moments.
[Killed seventh-tier warrior, gained 7,000 evolution points]
[Absorbed seventh-tier warrior’s blood, gained 7 energy points]
Watching the system notifications, Ye Fan felt a wave of satisfaction. Though there was still a long way to go before reaching the 5 million points needed for the next evolution, the steady gains made it feel less impossible.
The next opponents Ren Xing would face were bound to be even stronger, which was good news for Ye Fan.
Then, more energy was drawn into Soul Cleaver.
[Absorbed warrior’s energy, gained 7 energy points]
“So this is the effect of Energy Absorption,” Ye Fan thought. He hadn’t noticed before, but the passive skill didn’t just provide energy to Ren Xing—it also fed energy points directly to Ye Fan.
“What incredible power…”
Ren Xing closed his eyes, basking in the energy flowing from Soul Cleaver into his body. The sword had become even more powerful since evolving into Soul Cleaver.
“Lin San, if you had kept this sword, you might have actually been able to kill me during our duel next month,” Ren Xing muttered with a cold smile.
He felt a surge of relief that he had taken Soul Cleaver when he had.
“What’s this? Do you all want to kill me too?”
Ren Xing’s gaze swept over the remaining warriors, his voice dripping with menace.
“N-no… we wouldn’t dare…”
The warriors trembled, their fear evident. They had just witnessed Ren Xing easily dispatch a seventh-tier warrior. How could they even think of challenging him now? It would be suicide.
“Our alliance is over.”
Ren Xing glanced at Tiger Brother, flashing a sinister smile before walking away.
As soon as Ren Xing left, Tiger Brother let out a sigh of relief.
The power Ren Xing had displayed was utterly terrifying. Even now, thinking about it made his skin crawl.
“Tiger Brother, are we really just going to let him go?” one of the warriors asked.
“Just search the area for anything valuable,” Tiger Brother replied sternly.
"And whatever you do, don’t provoke Ren Xing."
“If you want to stay alive,” Tiger Brother added, his eyes narrowing as he glanced at his companions.
Ren Xing was no longer the same person. He had undergone a complete transformation, becoming far more dangerous than ever before.
