Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14986 Blood Gourd

The dark red light emitted by the God-Slaying Sword resembled a blood-red lantern in the thick darkness.

It illuminated an area of ​​several feet around, dispelling the darkness.

It also exposed those lurking souls to his sight.

With each step he took, the chilling killing intent targeting his soul spread outwards a little further.

A rustling sound kept coming from the darkness.

It was as if countless souls, sensing a deadly threat, were fleeing in panic, yet had nowhere to hide.

But there's no escaping it.

Following the sound, Ling Xiao turned a corner, and suddenly a ghostly green light appeared ahead.

The light was faint and eerie, standing out starkly in the darkness.

Within the light stood the soul of an old man, whose face was gaunt, eyes sunken, and cheekbones prominent.

He held a phantom longsword in his hand, and a faint aura of death surrounded him.

It is clearly the remnant soul of a powerful figure from the Sword Emperor Sect who fell back then.

His gaze fell on the God-Slaying Sword in Ling Xiao's hand, and his expression changed drastically. At this moment, his eyes were filled with fear, and he did not even have the slightest thought of resistance. He turned around and tried to escape into the darkness.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly: "Since you're already here, why rush to leave? Why not stay?"

As he spoke, Ling Xiao raised his hand and thrust out a sword.

The sword light pierced fiercely through the old man's back. The old man's soul let out a short scream, his body twisting and shattering violently in the sword light, eventually turning into countless specks of light.

Drawn by the suction force of the God-Slaying Sword, they were all devoured.

It's obvious that the God-Slaying Sword has become even stronger.

And this was only the second one. Next, Ling Xiao, wielding the God-Slaying Sword, almost swept across the entire Sword Emperor Sect's secret realm.

Regardless of age or gender, as long as it is a soul, anyone who attempts to possess him will be ruthlessly killed by him.

These guys all dressed differently, and their remaining cultivation levels varied.

But the greed and longing in their eyes were exactly the same.

They were all staring at Ling Xiao's body, all wanting to possess his body and live a second life.

But with the God-Slaying Sword in hand, they didn't even have a chance to get within three feet of Lingxiao.

The dark red sword light flashed again and again in the darkness.

Every time it lights up, a soul is killed or devoured without exception.

The aura of the God-Slaying Sword surged at a visible speed.

The dark red patterns on the sword became brighter and denser.

It was as if the entire sword was burning, radiating an aura of world destruction.

As Ling Xiao walked, he silently counted. Since leaving the secret chamber, he had killed eleven soul entities.

Each time the God-Slaying Sword devours a soul, its aura grows significantly stronger. After nourishing his divine soul, Ling Xiao's soul also continuously grows stronger, a feeling that is extremely pleasant.

His soul was already among the best in the Chaotic Martial World, and his soul power was even more terrifying than the eight strongest warriors. Now that it has been further enhanced, anyone who tries to use soul techniques or illusions on him will basically be wasting their time.

Ling Xiao had a feeling that the God-Slaying Sword could advance after absorbing another soul, and at that time, he didn't know how powerful it would become.

I'm actually looking forward to it.

Currently, the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword is still his most powerful weapon, but since it is a weapon left behind by the Demon Lord, Ling Xiao has no way of mastering it.

However, if the God-Slaying Sword is upgraded, its power will even surpass that of the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword.

The God-Slaying Sword was, after all, formed from Ling Xiao's own God-Slaying Sword Soul, and could fully unleash its power, making it far more useful than imagined.

In the future, when facing the Demon Soul Clan or even more powerful enemies, he will have more absolute confidence.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated and stepped forward. He had to find another soul to devour in order to help the God-Slaying Sword Soul advance and thus improve his own combat power.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, but even a martial artist like Ling Xiao was starting to get impatient when a strange aura caught his attention.

Just a hundred meters in front of him, the darkness was dispelled and replaced by a very eerie red light.

Ling Xiao was starting to wonder if this was a scene from a horror movie; it gave him a creepy feeling.

That was also a secret room, but it was much larger than the ones we had encountered before.

The door to the secret room was wide open, and the red light was coming from inside.

Ling Xiao walked over, carrying the God-Slaying Sword.

Since he couldn't get out anyway, he wasn't afraid of anything anymore. Rather than suffocating in the darkness, he might as well bravely venture out.

At worst, he might encounter another soul that wants to devour him, which would just be good nourishment for the God-Slaying Sword.

He lifted his foot and walked over, but stopped abruptly the moment he stepped inside.

"Something seems off about this place. Why does it feel different from the atmosphere I sensed before?"

Ling Xiao stood at the door, hesitated for a long time, but still went in.

It's different, and that's precisely what makes it different. Perhaps these differences are the key to breaking the deadlock.

The moment he entered the secret room, he was stunned by the scene.

This isn't a secret room, it's practically a palace!

Luxurious and magnificent!

The only thing that gives you the creeps is that the walls, floors, and ceilings are covered with all sorts of strange sealing runes.

These sacred runes are of extremely high quality.

It feels like it's approaching the level of a Moon-grade Saint Rune.

Besides these sacred runes, what Ling Xiao cared about even more was the blood gourd floating in mid-air.

The blood gourd grew in the blood pool, looking both alluring and eerie.

"Holy crap, what is this thing? Is it a place used by the Sword Emperor Sect to seal monsters?"

Ling Xiao was extremely shocked, because the blood gourd was over ten feet tall, and it should be no problem to put a monster inside.

The surrounding sacred runes seemed to be targeting the blood gourd as well, and it was unclear what was inside.

"Be careful, I have a bad feeling!" Xia Ming, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. "Don't open that gourd, or it will release something very terrifying."

"How terrifying?" Ling Xiao also sensed something was wrong, but at this moment he was eager to try it out, and his curiosity was extremely strong.

"Kid, don't blame me for not warning you. That level of terror feels about the same as the Moon Maiden. If you dare to release what's inside, no one can save you except for the Moon Maiden herself." Xia Ming's voice was tense, afraid that Ling Xiao would misbehave.

"Now that you mention it, I'm even more curious... But don't worry, Sister Xia Ming, I'm not that greedy."

Ling Xiao smiled. Although he was very curious, he didn't like to do things that would lead to his death.

"That's good. I was really worried that you wouldn't be able to resist your curiosity and would play with fire. Anyway, I've warned you, even I can't protect you once that thing comes out. If you really kill yourself, there probably won't even be anyone to collect your body." Xia Ming reminded him again.

"I wonder how Long Muyu is doing. Will that girl be able to get out of here alive? She doesn't have the God-Slaying Sword Soul." Ling Xiao didn't answer Xia Ming's question, but instead brought up Long Muyu. (End of Chapter)
