Slaying Luo Sword (Part One)

On that day in the Blood Sea Palace, what enabled Zhuge Xiang to gain the Blood King's recognition and be treated as an equal? It was this Heavenly Demon Zen Sound.

Today, on this Flame Plains, Zhuge Xiang not only unleashed the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound, but also fought fiercely with the Four Arms King. In Zhuge Xiang's view, the Four Arms King naturally had to acknowledge his strength.

It is naturally unbearable to have one's dignity humiliated by the weak. However, if the opponent is of equal standing, even if one is dissatisfied, it is impossible to fight to the death over such a trivial matter. Therefore, Zhuge Xiang displayed the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound with the intention of stopping there and not wanting to continue the fight.

Zhuge Xiang wasn't confident he could defeat the Asura King, but in the previous battle, the Four Arms King hadn't gained the upper hand either. Moreover, with the effects of Zhuge Xiang's Heavenly Demon Zen Sound, it was unlikely anyone would want to be Zhuge Xiang enemy. It was indeed not worth fighting to the death just for a little face.

"You and I have no irreconcilable hatred. Although we are both warriors in the Asura Path, there is no need for pointless fighting..." Heavenly Demon Zen Sound paused slightly, Zhuge Xiang spoke to the Four Arms King.

Having successfully cultivated the First Layer the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique and demonstrated his strength, Zhuge Xiang had no intention of staying any longer.

With a slight panting in his mouth, the suppression of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound had weakened the Four Arms King's strength to some extent. Even more terrifying was the sudden enlightenment and Good Thoughts that surged in his heart, which eroded his Battle Will like a leech.

The Four Arms King looked at Zhuge Xiang with barely concealed shock and fear, but after hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, he hesitated for a moment.

If Zhuge Xiang were weak, then his words and actions would naturally be an insult to the dignity of a strong person. However, the strength that Zhuge Xiang displayed was enough to be compared with him. Between peers, Zhuge Xiang's behavior could indeed not be considered an insult.

Whether it's a loss of face or not, ultimately, it all comes down to his abilities.

For the weak, any action deemed insulting by the strong is grounds for killing. But between the strong, there is no such thing as insult.

As for the relationship between the strong and the weak? Then no matter what the action, it is not considered an insult. This is the Cultivation World, and in the Asura Realm, this is even more blatant.

"It is said that the Strange King was able to kill the Ghost Shadow King of Demon Hand Mountain, drive away the Great Strength King, and occupy the Declining Mountain. Seeing it today, the Strange King's strength is indeed well-deserved..." The Four Arms King hesitated slightly, then slowly put away the four Lingbao and praised Zhuge Xiang.

Upon hearing the words of the Four Arms King, Zhuge Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from his appearance, he naturally intended to stop. His goal had been achieved, and for Zhuge Xiang, this ending could be considered the most perfect one.

Buzz...

However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred. Of the four Lingbao that had been put away, the Battle Axe, the Wolf Fang Club, and the Horse-Slaying Saber did not react, but the Heavy Sword in the Four Arms King's hand suddenly trembled. On the sword's jaw, a blood-red eye suddenly opened, filled with endless killing intent, ferocity, and madness.

"Ah!" A cry of pain rang out as several sharp spikes suddenly sprang from Heavy Sword hilt of the heavy sword in the Four Arms King -Four Arms King's hand, piercing through his palm and drawing blood.

"This sword is quite special..." Zhuge Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the Heavy Sword that had actually devoured its master.

Such peculiar weapons usually possess very powerful characteristics. However, in the recent battle with the Four Arms King, Zhuge Xiang relied on the Skill of the Decoy Straw Man to survive. Therefore, Zhuge Xiang was unaware of the special effects of the Four Arms King's weapons.

"Slaying Luo Sword, how dare you turn against me..." Despite his palms being pierced by sharp thorns, the Four Arms King still gripped the Heavy Sword in his hand and refused to put it down, angrily rebuking the Heavy Sword in his palm.

"The Slaying Luo Sword, the Four Arms King's Slaying Luo Sword has actually backfired? This is terrible..." Inside the Flame God Palace, the other three Asura Kings, seeing the strange change in the Heavy Sword in the Four Arms King's hand, exclaimed in horror. Clearly, they also recognized the Heavy Sword in the Four Arms King's hand.

"The Slaying Luo Sword, it is said that more than two dozen Asura King have died by its blade. Could it be that the Four Arms King will also die by the Slaying Luo Sword today?" Another Asura King stared at the Slaying Luo Sword with equal horror and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Gentlemen, what is so special about this Slaying Luo Sword?" Zhuge Xiang asked curiously as he listened to the three Asura King talking amongst themselves, even predicting that the Four Arms King would die by this Slaying Luo Sword.

"Among Demon Artifact, those that devour their Lingbao must be extremely evil Artifact Spirit. Such Demon Artifact are often a double-edged sword, harming both the user and the user. However, these weapons are usually exceptionally powerful..." Wu Xuemei began. As someone from the Demon Realm, she naturally knew more about these Demon Artifacts that devour their masters than ordinary people.

"This young lady makes a good point..."

Upon hearing Wu Xuemei's words, an Asura King beside her spoke to Zhuge Xiang, saying, "This Slaying Luo Sword is one of the strongest weapons in this world. Legend has it that it was brought from the Great Asura Path directly after the split of this world and was forged by an Asura Emperor himself..."

The Asura Emperor is like a king in the Asura Path. His cultivation is comparable to that of an ascended immortal or demon. The Asura- Slaying Luo Sword is said to have been forged by an Asura Emperor by gathering the blood and sweat of thousands of Asura Kings. This sword is filled with endless killing intent.

Whoever wields it will possess formidable power, but this sword is also a Sword of Slaughter. If the wielder's Battle Will wavers, this sword will not only fail to provide powerful strength, but may even turn against its master. Those whose Battle Will wavers are not worthy of wielding it.

"Your strange Zen Sound just now shook our Battle Will, and I believe the Four Arms King felt the same way. With our Battle Will shaken, the Slaying Luo Sword was naturally dissatisfied. Now it has compromised with you and wants to stop fighting. I think that's why the Slaying Luo Sword has turned against us," the Asura King said to Zhuge Xiang, guessing the reason why the Slaying Luo Sword rebelled against its master.

"You bastard, I am your master, submit to me..." Despite his hand being pierced, the Four Arms King still refused to let go, shouting angrily at the Slaying Luo Sword in his hand.

The Slaying Luo Sword devours its master. Throughout history, countless Asura Kings have died by its blade. The reason so many Asura King died was not because they refused to let go, but because once this sword devours its master, its sharp thorns pierce into the bone marrow, binding the hand and draining its Essence Blood, making it impossible to let go. In the end, they can only be sucked dry.

However, the blood-red eyes of the Slaying Luo Sword showed no sign of yielding. Instead, several more sharp spikes shot out from the hilt, piercing another hole in his palm, causing blood to splatter...

"Fine! You think my Battle Will has wavered? Then I'll kill this guy right now! You better behave yourself..." Seeing that he was unable to suppress the Artifact Spirit of the Slaying Luo Sword, the Four Arms King spoke up. Since he couldn't make it submit, he would kill this Strange King to prove his Battle Will.

As the Four Arms King finished speaking, he could feel that the speed at which the Slaying Luo Sword absorbed his Essence Blood had slowed down considerably. The information fed back by the Artifact Spirit made the Four Arms King understand that it was giving him a chance, but only for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If he could not kill this Strange King within this time, then he would surely be sucked dry alive.

"You must die..." Having received the feedback from the Slaying Luo Sword, the Four Arms King's eyes were fixed on Zhuge Xiang as he spoke. His chilling words were like a bloody storm blowing up from the Nine Netherworlds, filled with a stench of blood.

For the sake of saving face, the Four Arms King would certainly not fight Zhuge Xiang to the death, but what if it were for his own life? Let alone Zhuge Xiang, even the true Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens would surely resist.

"Ding! The quest 'Demonic Sword' has been triggered. The quest requires you to either successfully remove the threat of the Demonic Sword from the Four Arms King or slay the Four Arms King. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with +1 level and Skill Talisman. If you fail, you will be rewarded with -2 levels."

At the same time, Mechanical System Prompt sounded in Zhuge Xiang's mind. This was actually a mandatory task. In addition to the level reward, the data information of the reward Skill Talisman could also be seen in advance.

Skill Talisman (Special Consumable): Can be used to upgrade any Skill or Cultivation Technique to the highest level, lasting for 30 seconds.

The effects of the Skill Talisman left Zhuge Xiang speechless. Their power was immense. If it were just a regular Skill, it wouldn't be anything special, but what if it were the Demon Luo Scripture? What would it be like to fully master all thirteen levels of the Demon Luo Scripture? Or what about the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound? What would it be like to learn all Nine Heavenly Demon Zen Sounds scrolls?

Upon seeing the data information of this Skill Talisman, Zhuge Xiang's slight dissatisfaction with the mandatory task immediately vanished.

However, looking at the Four Arms King, Zhuge Xiang knew that this Skill Talisman was not so easy to obtain. Should he remove the threat of the Slaying Luo Sword to the Four Arms King? Or should he kill the Four Arms King directly? With Zhuge Xiang's strength, this was not a good situation.

"Die!" Regardless of whether his attack could actually kill Zhuge Xiang, under the threat of his life, how could the Four Arms King dare to hold back in the slightest? He raised his four Lingbao and pounced towards Zhuge Xiang.

As the saying goes, even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, and a cornered rabbit will bite, let alone a mighty Asura King. At this moment, under the threat of his life, the Four Arms King unleashed his full power, revealing a strength a level higher than before...

"What are you still looking at? Aren't you coming over to help?" At this point, Zhuge Xiang no longer believed he could handle the Four Arms King alone, and he snapped at Wu Xuemei beside him, annoyed. (To be continued...)
