God of Slaughter, Zhuge Xiang (Part 3)

() The All Beings Annihilation Sword!

This is the strongest Sword Technique. By "strongest," I mean that it is the strongest Sword Technique for any Sword Cultivator. Why? Because this Sword Technique does not seek to kill the enemy, but to kill oneself first. To activate this Sword Technique, one must completely sever one's own life force and integrate one's spirit and everything else into this sword to unleash several times, or even dozens of times, the destructive power.

This sword strike, for anyone, is the final strike; naturally, it is also the strongest Sword Technique of all Cultivator.

Boom!

The incomparably powerful Sword Qi transformed into a gigantic sword pillar Hundred Zhang long, crashing down on Zhuge Xiang. The Hundred Zhang- long sword pillar was like a towering mountain, and in front of it, Zhuge Xiang appeared as insignificant as an ant. Looking at this sword strike, Zhuge Xiang's eyes were also filled with solemnity.

The power of this sword strike far surpassed the strength displayed by this Deity Transformation stage Sword Cultivator. Even though he had activated the Bloodthirsty Technique, Zhuge Xiang still felt powerless in front of this sword pillar. If he had to make a comparison, facing this sword strike, Zhuge Xiang felt as if he were a Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator facing the Sword Qi of the Void Splitting Realm Cultivator.

"Zhuge Xiang!!!" Seeing the enormous Sword Qi that was about Hundred Zhang, Qin Qing and the others were horrified and screamed. If this sword were to fall, they believed that even half of Shuzhong City would be destroyed. Such a powerful Sword Qi attack made them feel deeply powerless.

The sword strike, brimming with the aura of death, seemed to have been unleashed from the depths of hell. No matter how formidable Zhuge Xiang could escape this strike. It was simply because the sword was too powerful, far beyond the reach of human Swordsmanship.

"Want to kill me?! Then come and taste the power of this sword yourself!" Seeing the huge sword pillar coming towards him, Zhuge Xiang knew that no matter what he did, he couldn't withstand it. However, Zhuge Xiang didn't have the idea of resisting it. Instead, he opened his arms and shouted loudly at the huge sword pillar.

The Thorn Armor's passive effect is to reduce the defense of surrounding enemy targets by 30%. So what about its active effect? As long as the target's cultivation level is not more than three minor realms higher than the user, all single-target Skill attacks can be reflected. And coincidentally, this Deity Transformation stage Sword Cultivator is only two minor realms higher than Zhuge Xiang.

The enormous sword pillar slammed into Zhuge Xiang. It felt like a giant sword had struck an ant. Qin Qing, Niu Geng, Zhang Kuang, Mizheng —everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces frozen. Could it be? In the end, Zhuge Xiang had actually died in battle? Were Deity Transformation Cultivator truly invincible compared to Qi Refining Stage Cultivator? Was this kind of law unbreakable?

However, to everyone's astonishment, the giant sword pillar did not crush Zhuge Xiang after it hit him. Instead, it seemed to have hit an invisible wall of energy and stopped in mid-air. Then, to everyone's astonishment, the giant sword pillar suddenly turned around and slammed into the direction of the Deity Transformation stage Sword Cultivator.

This scene left everyone in disbelief. What method did Zhuge Xiang use to deflect such a powerful attack?

"No! I'm not reconciled!" The Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator cried out in despair as he watched the giant sword pillar fly back and felt the unparalleled power within it.

He had mentally prepared himself for death, but the fact that even his All Beings Annihilation Sword couldn't kill his opponent made this Deity Transformation stage Sword Cultivator feel extremely unwilling.

"I'm not reconciled!" Seeing the giant sword pillar so close at hand, the Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator's hand trembled. The All Beings Annihilation Sword could not kill the opponent. However, at the last moment, he still did not give up. The flying sword in his hand flew out. In his dying moments, this Deity Transformation Sword Cultivator made a Sword Formula and pointed at Zhuge Xiang: "Undying Sword Seal!"

The Undying Sword Seal is a Swordsmanship that Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator accidentally obtained during his travels. The price is the destruction of the Artifact Spirit of Treasure Artifact -grade longsword, Artifact Spirit then locks onto a target and attacks until the longsword is destroyed or the target dies.

The Undying Sword Seal consumes a Treasure Artifact- grade longsword every time it is used. Therefore, since learning it, this Deity Transformation stage cultivator has only used this Skill twice, and each time successfully killed a powerful opponent who was difficult for him to defeat.

He only had one last Treasure Artifact- grade sword left, so this Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator hadn't been willing to use it. But now, he was about to die, and the Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator, who only wanted to take Zhuge Xiang down with him, used the Undying Sword Seal Skill on Zhuge Xiang.

"Ding! You have killed a Nascent Deity Transformation stage Cultivator at the Divine Ability Realm Third Layer, gaining 8.2 million experience points, the Winged Dragon Chain, the Azure Nether Blade, and the 'Indestructible Vajra Body'."

"Ding! Level increased by 1, 1 Skill Point gained, current cultivation level is Innate Realm Second Layer".

"Ding! Level increased by 1, 1 Skill Point gained, current cultivation level is Innate Realm Third Layer".

As the enormous sword pillar violently engulfed the Deity Transformation stage Sword Cultivator's body, a continuous stream of system notifications rang in Zhuge Xiang's mind. The massive 8.2 million experience points left Zhuge Xiang speechless and dumbfounded. Immediately, these 8.2 million Experience Points directly propelled Zhuge Xiang's level to the Third Layer of the Innate Realm, raising him two levels in a row. Moreover, killing this Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator even yielded three Dao Item.

Call out!

A dazzling Sword Light flashed, appearing before Zhuge Xiang's eyes like Venomous Snake's tongue. Zhuge Xiang, who had just been immersed in victory, was startled. This was the flying sword of the Deity Transformation stage Sword Cultivator. But why was the opponent, who was already dead, attacking him?

This sword strike was completely unexpected, something Zhuge Xiang hadn't anticipated. It caught Zhuge Xiang off guard, and there was no time to dodge or defend. Looking at the Treasure Artifact- level longsword right in front of him, Zhuge Xiang suddenly made a shocking move.

Zhuge Xiang suddenly opened his mouth wide. In his Demonic True Body and Devourer's Treasure state, Zhuge Xiang's sharp fangs actually bit down on the Treasure Artifact- level longsword.

The Treasure Artifact- grade longsword trembled wildly in Zhuge Xiang's mouth, trying to escape and break free. However, how could Zhuge Xiang let go? He clenched his teeth and exerted force. Then, with a crisp sound, the Treasure Artifact- grade longsword let out a mournful cry and was actually bitten into two pieces by Zhuge Xiang.

Crunch, crunch...

Grabbing the broken longsword, Zhuge Xiang chewed loudly. In no time, he had swallowed the Treasure Artifact- level longsword Zhuge Xiang. Moreover, as the Treasure Artifact- level longsword was swallowed, Zhuge Xiang could clearly feel that the Qi Energy within his body had become even more abundant.

"Ding! Ancient Moon Devouring Divine Dog talent activated, gaining 1 million Experience Points."

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Zhuge Xiang's mind, which startled Zhuge Xiang slightly before he realized what was happening.

Xiao Yue's talent is to devour Magic Artifact Treasure Artifact, which can accelerate his growth. He activated the Devourer's Treasure Skill, and Xiao Yue's abilities and talents were transferred to him in a short period of time. He devoured a Treasure Artifact- level longsword, which actually brought him a full 1 million experience points. He was only a few hundred thousand experience points away from the Innate Realm Fourth Layer.

If he received a few more Treasure Artifact, wouldn't his leveling speed be like a rocket? Having tasted this sweetness, Zhuge Xiang was filled with anticipation. However, he quickly shook his head. Leaving aside the value of Treasure Artifact, even if he were given Treasure Artifact, he wouldn't have the ability to absorb them. This Treasure Artifact- level longsword only managed to be bitten through because it had already developed cracks during his battle with the Carefree Old Couple. These cracks had deepened over time, allowing him to bite through it. Otherwise, how could he have so easily bitten through Treasure Artifact longsword?

A flash of light appeared, and Zhuge Xiang's expression suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light. Then, he split in two, and Zhuge Xiang returned to his Demonic True Body form. The incredibly powerful aura on his body also rapidly decreased, falling to the Third Layer of the Innate Realm. Beside Zhuge Xiang was Xiao Yue's majestic figure, equivalent to Six-Star Monster Beast.

"Victory? Really a victory?" Looking at Zhuge Xiang slowly descending from the sky, Niu Geng pinched his buttocks hard, still somewhat incredulous. A Deity Transformation Cultivator had actually been killed by Zhuge Xiang?

"Haha, you didn't disappoint me! You really killed that guy!" Su Huayu laughed loudly.

Qin Qing remained silent, anxiously gripping Zhuge Xiang's hand and carefully examining it. Only after finding no signs of injury did she feel relieved.

Meanwhile, Zhang Kuang, Mo Wuyan, Zi Xiang, Mizheng, and the others all wore expressions of joy. Zhuge Xiang's ability to kill a Deity Transformation stage Cultivator meant that his name would surely resound throughout Yanling Commandery today.

"What do we do?" The remaining dozen or so Man in Black looked at Zhuge Xiang with fear in their eyes. They all turned to look at the leader of the Man in Black. The strength that Zhuge Xiang had shown in the previous battle, which was able to kill Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator, had made these Man in Black feel powerless.

"Let's go," the leader of the Man in Black said in a low voice, glancing at Zhuge Xiang with equal fear and apprehension. The remaining dozen or so Man in Black then quickly retreated.

"Trying to leave!" Zhuge Xiang's eyes narrowed as he watched the Man in Black depart. His Phoenix Feather Wings fluttered as he prepared to give chase. Zhuge Xiang couldn't let these people who dared to attack him escape.

"What's going on? What exactly happened here?"

However, at that moment, a familiar voice rang out, and then the City Lord Liu Ruying, arrived with seven Squad Leader at the Innate Realm. He immediately blocked Zhuge Xiang's path, pointing to the ravaged Courtyard, and said, "Squad Leader Zhuge, what exactly happened? I kindly offered you lodging in the City Lord's Manor, yet you destroyed my residence! I demand an explanation!" (To be continued.)
