"Danger!"
A deadly sense of danger came from the Black Tongue Sword in Xing Shi's right hand. It felt completely different from the earlier strike through his chest. Strange energy substances surged from the hilt at the end of the Black Tongue Sword and flowed into the blade. The sensation was quite similar to the blood fetus pulsing within Zhang Chen's body, brimming with endless vitality.
However, the blood fetus contained endless life, while the hilt held endless gluttony. It had transformed from an intangible emotion into an energy form, causing the Black Tongue Sword, serving as the sword body, to enter an abnormal state. All six black tongues writhed madly.

The greatsword in Zhang Chen's right hand was too heavy and imposing to be swung again within such a short time.
At that moment, his left hand had already gripped the end of the sheath at his waist. Facing the Black Tongue Sword, he suddenly drew his weapon. The broad-bladed dagger, only an inch long, looked utterly different in Zhang Chen's hand from the other thick and heavy greatsword.

"Ding!"
A bell-like sound rang out, entirely
