Chapter 671: Gathering Death Sword
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
What sword technique is this?
Jia Mingluo had conquered worlds for close to 100 years and was really knowledgeable. However, at this moment, he was completely stunned.
He could see that Zong Shou’s sword was controlling Death Energy. But, why was the Death Energy able to coexist with the King Path Martial Arts and not conflict?
Zong Shou wasn’t ruling a Netherworld Country!
He had millions of doubts in his chest.
However, looking at Zong Shou’s expression and actions, he knew that there was no way their two sides could stop.
One of them had to die!
He didn’t have time to think too much. Numerous streaks of Red Star God Lightning exploded and spread out in the sky.
In the next instant, Zong Shou slashed downward!
Death Energy spread. The sword seemed like it existed between Life and Death worlds, ethereal and tough to grasp.
The vast fret energy and the crazy shouts of millions of souls caused this part of the world to turn black and white.
Just one sword ripped open the Red Lightning net and directly appeared 200 feet in front of him.
It was just some Death Energy and Yin Souls that couldn’t see the light. But, they weren’t afraid of the lightning and instead crushed it.
Prince Jia Mingluo even felt his body freeze up, his bones chilling. The True Qi in his body was also being lost bit by bit under the attacks of the Death Energy.
His heartbeat was also about to stop. Was this fear?
What sword technique was that?
Why did it make him feel like he was already dead before the sword even arrived?
Such a thought rose up in his chest once more. Right as the sword was in front of his body, he hollered out. The vital energy in his body surged and flowed against the current! It gave off a magma-like heat that chased the Yin Spirits out of the body.
The Saber slashed angrily, clashing with the sword. With great strength he scattered the sword shadow in one strike. Then, without hesitation, he surged toward Zong Shou.
To prevent Zong Shou from using his strong sword techniques, he had to fight close combat.
During these three months he felt really annoyed. Tens of battles and he had forced this Monster King to the brink several times.
It was only today when he got close did he feel a little different from before.
That Yin and Evil Energy which he chased out from his body was wrapping around him. It entered from any hole, drilling into his body like needles.
If he was careless and showed any weakness, they would enter his flesh and suck away his lifeforce.
The Saber Light and Sword Shadows clashed in the air. Each time they clashed it would cause a flurry of sparks which spread about.
The clanging sound echoed for 100 miles.
At the start, Jia Mingluo didn’t think about anything. He simply relied on his instincts, forged through thousands of battles, to slash out time and time again.
He only wanted to be stronger and for the Saber to be quicker.
That little bit of thought was on the Red Lightning Saber Intent to focus on Zong Shou’s sword trajectory such that he wouldn’t fall into his trap.
Slowly he felt a white energy spread on the Saber in his hand and spread upward towards the handle.
The body of the Saber had threads of metal dust falling off as they clashed.
It was slowly decomposing and showing signs of collapsing.
He couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath. The sword was a true Grade-8 Magical Weapon. It couldn’t stop the invasion of this Death Energy?
The Saber continued to suppress, causing Zong Shou’s Sword Light to be condensed to 100 feet around him, unable to spread out.
Coincidentally, after a thousand strikes, Jia Mingluo’s body suddenly retreated backward.
Not only did he give up on all the accumulated advantage, he also took the risk that Zong Shou would chase.
Red Star God Lightning, the vital energy in his body surged once more. He exhaled and spat out thick grey energy. Half of the Death Energy gathered in his body was removed.
The Saber in his hand rang out once more, numerous grey energy was swept clean.
Following this, he looked toward Zong Shou in fear.
He only felt that the sword technique wasn’t as exquisite as the Nine Dragon Shadow Sword and didn’t stand a chance.
But it was more deceitful and indiscernible, much more suitable for close combat than the Dragon Shadow Sword.
Especially the Yin and Death power which snatched lifespan. Anyone whose cultivation was slightly weaker would immediately die on the spot!
The grade of it was tough to evaluate!
In terms of strength, when it was at its peak, it was Grade-10 Saint Spirit or even Grade-11 Godlike.
However, to use this sword one had to pay a huge price!
Carrying his Saber, even when he was going all out to chase out the Death Energy, he would keep 70% of his power to focus on Zong Shou’s actions.
His eyebrows rose up, looking opposite calmly, “Ruler used a lot of lifespan to use this sword? With this less than a 30-year lifespan how long can it last?”
Zong Shou was quietly sensing his body and had no intention to chase.
When he heard this, he broke out into a laugh. Actually he didn’t understand why his lifespan didn’t drop by much when he used the sword technique. The Death Energy wrapped around his body and only consumed a bit of life force which didn’t mean much.
Coincidentally, Little Gold and Hanxi turned into specks of light and landed on his shoulder.
There were around 200,000 Yin Souls here!
Although there were still way less than that day on Lianyun Island, the 200,000 Souls here were much stronger.
This was why the current Styx River Death Sword he was using was far stronger than that day!
It was sufficient to replenish the consumption of his Nameless Sword.
However, at this moment what the two fellows brought him were a few Grade-7 Night Demon souls.
During the Heaven Realm, these souls had the ability to defend against his Styx River Death Sword and weren’t called over.
At this moment, when Little Gold and Hanxi captured them, Zong Shou didn’t hesitate to toss them into the Nameless Sword!
Within the Soul Ocean a green flame blazed once more. The Light Containing Pellet in the Soul Ocean caused the Spiritual Veins which were devoid of energy to be replenished.
It was impossible to regenerate at such a speed before.
Zong Shou laughed, a loud crack spread out from behind him.
It was like there was something tearing open as more Death Energy charged out like water bursting from a dam.
It surged out and covered 300 miles of sky. Zong Shou charged up, slashing down with thousands of Ashen White Sword Energy, covering Jia Mingluo within!
He gave up on all chances and only wanted an even stronger and faster, even indiscernible and deceitful sword!
Jia Mingluo’s pupils constricted as he took in another breath. It caused his aura to recover to his peak state.
He didn’t hesitate to slash up with his Saber.
It was more domineering and sharp!
Zong Shou wasn’t the only one with unprecedentedly strong killing intent and fighting intent.
It was the same for Jia Mingluo! To be able to kill his kid, his army would be in a better state.
After one strike, the two of them shuddered a little, blood seeping from their lips. The momentum from the clashes was something their bodies couldn’t take!
Following this was an even more intense clash! Saber Light and Sword Shadow turned into two storms that intersected with one another unable to be separated.
In the blink of an eye it was another 1,000 strikes. A dark cloud slowly appeared in Jia Mingluo’s eyes.
The more Yin Souls it gathered the stronger it became?
Looking down there were people dying at every moment. Before their souls dissipated Zong Shou’s sword would suck them upward.
No wonder Zong Shou didn’t cast those spells to restrict him...
As a Night Demon, this was the first time he wanted the sun to rise.
Looking into the sky, it was still two hours away from morning! It was not far away!
What made him happy was the Central area was still at a standstill.
Zong Shou’s Middle Army General used just 800,000 troops to block the same number of Night Demon Army troops outside.
However, the two wings saw progress.
At the latest, at noon they could attack Seven Cloud Mountain peak and end this tough situation! Even wiping out these two million enemies!

“Morning is about to arrive!”
On a wide stone altar beside the cliff which stretched out from it.
It was 1,000 feet wide and protruded out of the mountain body, barely being able to be considered majestic and beautiful. Especially recently after it was renovated.
At this moment, Kong Rui was standing at the center. The hole of the Wen King Divination Coin was in his hands. He looked out at the stars in the north.
This place was the Heaven Worshipping Altar of Gantian Mountain, one of Gantian Mountain’s prohibited areas. However, as he was the Imperial Astronomer, naturally he could appear here.
One needed to use huge amounts of Heaven and Earth energy to make divinations.
Either that or one would try to break away from the powers of Heaven and Earth.
The altar here wasn’t connected to the Heavens but could allow one to view the stars. It was only connected a little to the Earth below.
It was the best place to do his work.
“Abundant white energy, stars shining bright...”
Kong Rui was uncontrollably emotional now.
In just two hours, the light from the Alkaid Army Breaking Star would be seen by all the people in the Cloud World who grasped stargazing techniques right?
At such a time, even the sun in the sky can forget about blocking the glow of the star.
That would be the time when Yao’er shocks the world.
He had won his bet with Zhongxuan!
Only at this moment, those words were useless.
Who knew whether Zhongxuan could see the weird scenes from where he was?
However, at this moment, what he cared about more was the death tribulation his daughter was about to face.
In the next moment, he exclaimed in surprise.
