Mission complete

"With my blood, bear witness to my wounds..." A mouthful of blood suddenly sprayed onto the Slaying Luo Sword, and the Four Arms King shouted fiercely.

The Dragon's Judgment Sword's effect reduced his HP to only 30,000, but the terrible injuries could almost kill him instantly. However, the Four Arms King's face was filled with madness. Since he was still alive, then his opponent was doomed.

"The same trick again!" The Slaying Luo Sword swung fiercely at Zhuge Xiang. The blood-red eyes on the sword's hilt suddenly flashed with crimson light, moving with incredible speed that was impossible to dodge, instantly engulfing Zhuge Xiang completely...

The Scarlet light, like fresh blood, was filled with a terrifying and destructive aura. Enveloped by this light, Zhuge Xiang was horrified.

Just as he was about to use the Decoy Straw Man Skill, he discovered that although the light and aura were terrifying, they did not cause him any harm.

"What's this?".

Enveloped in Scarlet light, Zhuge Xiang was stunned. The Four Arms King's massive, frenzied attack had no effect?

Not to mention Zhuge Xiang, even the Four Arms King, seeing Zhuge Xiang unharmed in the Scarlet light, stared wide-eyed in disbelief. The smugness and self-satisfied expression on his face froze completely.

At its peak, the Slaying Luo Sword's attack power was significantly increased, but the more severely injured the wielder and the stronger their fighting spirit, the greater the attack power would become. Moreover, what the Four Arms King just used was a special function of the Slaying Luo Sword: if one suffered a powerful attack and was seriously injured, one could use the opponent's own methods against them, returning the same move to the opponent.

In the Four-Armed King's view, Zhuge Xianglong's Judgment Sword's active effect was very strong, almost instantly killing him. However, the Four-Armed King didn't care about that; as long as he wasn't dead, his opponent was doomed. If he used the same attack, which almost killed him in one move, and repeated it with the Zhanluo Sword, wouldn't his opponent be doomed too?

This was the Four Arms King's confidence, the reason he believed he had won. But now? He used the same old trick again, returning it to his opponent, yet his opponent was completely unharmed? How could this be? An attack that almost killed him instantly had no effect on him whatsoever.

Zhuge Xiang was secretly surprised. He didn't know the reason behind the Four Arms King's move. If he did, he would surely laugh. The Dragon's Judgment Sword's effect was to make both sides have the same HP. Now, both sides had 30,000 HP. Even if the Four Arms King used such a move on him, how could it have any effect?

"Summon, Xiao Yue".

Although surprised, Zhuge Xiang had no time to think about it during the fierce battle. He opened the Pet Interface and summoned the Moon- Moon Devouring Divine Dog, Xiao Yue.

With a long howl, the Ancient Moon Devouring Divine Dog with snow-white fur, Xiao Yue, appeared beside Zhuge Xiang. The surging demonic Demonic Qi emanating from its body clearly indicated that it had already reached the level of a Three-Star Fairy.

His pupils contracted slightly. Slaying Luo Sword's blood-red eyes looked at Xiao Yue, and a hint of fear could not be concealed in his blood-red eyes.

The Ancient Moon Devouring Divine Dog Hound's Innate Ability is to devour all the equipment in the world. No matter how ferocious this Slaying Luo Sword is, it is still just a Lingbao. The Artifact Spirit naturally has an instinctive fear of Xiao Yue.

"Who are you?" Xiaoyue looked at Zhuge Xiang, then at the Demon Clone, a hint of confusion in Xiao Yue eyes.

It naturally recognized Zhuge Xiang in True Body, but Xiao Yue deepest intuition told it that this Demon Clone was also Zhuge Xiang. What was going on? How could there be two Zhuge Xiang?

Devourer's Treasure!

Zhuge Xiang had no time to explain Xiao Yue's thoughts. He Devourer's Treasure Skill, Demon Clone that instantly transferred all of Xiao Yue's abilities to himself. His aura, cultivation level, Innate Ability, and even appearance all underwent significant changes.

Wu Xuemei was slightly taken aback by the Demon Clone's actions. Although she knew that Zhuge Xiang had endless tricks up his sleeve, Wu Xuemei found that Zhuge Xiang's secrets and his methods seemed to be inexhaustible.

This was the first time Wu Xuemei had ever seen a summoned Fairy, or a method to merge the Fairy with herself.

"The mission doesn't necessarily have to kill the Four Arms King; we just need to remove the threat posed by the Demonic Sword in his hand." After acquiring Xiao Yue's Innate Ability, Zhuge Xiang's gaze locked onto the Slaying Luo Sword, baring its teeth and revealing a set of Sharp Fangs.

That's right, Zhuge Xiang's goal was to completely devour the Slaying Luo Sword.

Stared at by Zhuge Xiang's eyes, the Slaying Luo Sword's blood-red pupils were filled with intense fear. This instinctive fear was something even the Artifact Spirit could not avoid. It knew very well that Zhuge Xiang had the ability to destroy it.

"Hmph, do you think you can win by summoning a Fairy?" The Four Arms King had no idea what the Artifact Spirit of the Slaying Luo Sword was thinking.

In his view, even after grafting the Xiao Yue, Zhuge Xiang's strength had not improved much, and it was still impossible for him to defeat him. Despite being suppressed by both Zhuge Xiang's Heavenly Demon Zen Sound and Wu Xuemei's Mental Illusion, even so, the strength of an Asura King was still Major Realm.

Zhuge Xiang's Demon Clone did not respond to the Four Arms King's words. With the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound constantly emanating from Zhuge Xiang's mouth, it was even less likely that he would answer him. With his mouth wide open, Zhuge Xiang fiercely bit down on the Slaying Luo Sword in the Four Arms King's hand.

"Haha, have you lost your mind? You actually came right up to my sword..." The Four Arms King mocked as he watched Zhuge Xiang's Demon Clone bite at his sword.

Without pausing for a moment, he slashed fiercely at Zhuge Xiang's head. "Since you've come here to die, I'll cut your head off."

Buzz...

However, at that moment, the Slaying Luo Sword suddenly emitted a dense light, causing the Four Arms King to pause in his movements. Then, with a crack, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the Four Arms King's hand was directly blasted into Slaying Luo Sword.

The Slaying Luo Sword flew out on its own, hovering in front of Zhuge Xiang, its hilt leaning towards him...

Seeing the Slaying Luo Sword, and with its hilt resting against Zhuge Xiang's face, the Demon Clone stopped moving. Zhuge Xiang True Body also ceased Heavenly Demon Zen Sound. Judging from the Slaying Luo Sword's appearance, it seemed willing to submit to him?

Treasure Artifact possess spirits and will choose their own masters, a fact Zhuge Xiang had long known. However, the fact that the Slaying Luo Sword had abandoned the Four Arms King, who possessed the strength of Asura King, and was willing to follow him, Cultivator at the True Essence Realm, surprised Zhuge Xiang.

However, since a Lingbao was willing to acknowledge him as its master, how could Zhuge Xiang refuse? He reached out and grabbed at the hilt of the Slaying Luo Sword...

"Wait, this kind of Demonic Sword is a double-edged sword, it can hurt others and yourself. You should think it over carefully. The Four Arms King is a cautionary tale," Wu Xuemei interjected, reminding Zhuge Xiang, seeing that he was willing to accept the Slaying Luo Sword without even considering it.

"Hehe, the reason they are afraid of the sword's backlash is because their Battle Will is not firm enough. As for me? I will not waver and will not give it a chance to backlash." However, Zhuge Xiang only chuckled lightly at Wu Xuemei's size, and then grabbed the Slaying Luo Sword.

Berserk, carnage, madness...

As Zhuge Xiang held the Zhanluo Slaying Luo Sword in his palm, he could feel the immense power emanating from it. Looking down at it, he saw the Zhuge Xiang Slaying Luo Sword automatically recognize him as its master, and its data naturally appeared before Zhuge Xiang.

"Slaying Luo Sword (Twelve Star Spiritual Treasure): Attacks equal to 30% of the user's own HP. Passive: Gains 1 point of attack for every 10 HP lost. Active: If an attack reduces the wielder's maximum HP by 50%, it can perfectly replicate and reflect that attack back. Description: This is a Demonic Sword; it harms both the user and others. If the user's Battle Will wavers, this sword will turn against its master. Use with caution. Durability: 1000-1200. Weight: 50."

Looking at the information on the Slaying Luo Sword, Zhuge Xiang was secretly delighted. Its attack power wasn't fixed; it was linked to his own HP. This meant that as his physique improved, the power of the Slaying Luo Sword would increase accordingly.

Zhuge Xiang currently has 30,000 HP. Based on this, with the Slaying Luo Sword in hand, Zhuge Xiang's attack power will increase by a full 9,000 points. The Dragon's Judgment Sword only adds 5,400 attack power, so this is a significant difference. In addition, the passive effect, the more severe the injury, the stronger the attack, which is more like a weapon of the Asura Path.

Although the Slaying Luo Sword doesn't have the same attack speed as the Dragon's Judgment Sword, nor does it have several passive and active effects, 9000 attack power is enough. Moreover, it's a weapon with growth potential; perhaps it can accompany Zhuge Xiang all the way until the day he ascends to the Immortal and Demonic Realms.

Zhuge Xiang had witnessed the danger of the Slaying Luo Sword firsthand, yet even so, he showed no concern whatsoever. Was this foolishness? Or absolute self-confidence? Regardless, Wu Xuemei's eyes were filled with deep admiration as she looked at Zhuge Xiang.

A true strong person's strength isn't reflected in their power, strength, or even wisdom. Its most important quality is self-confidence—the confidence and courage to face any danger head-on. This is the true source of a strong person's power, and Zhuge Xiang is precisely such a person...

"His cultivation is still weak now, but in the future, he will surely soar to great heights..." Looking at Zhuge Xiang, watching him grip the Slaying Luo Sword without hesitation or fear, Wu Xuemei felt this certainty in her heart.

"My Slaying Luo Sword..." Looking at the Slaying Luo Sword, it actually exploded from its own palm and recognized Zhuge Xiang as its master. The Four Arms King was dumbfounded. Even if the Slaying Luo Sword turned against it, the Four Arms King would never have imagined that it would actually recognize Zhuge Xiang as its master.

"Ding! Quest 'Demonic Sword' completed, level +1, Skill Talisman obtained."

"Ding! Level increased by 1, 1 Skill Point gained, currently at the True Essence Realm Level 8." (To be continued...)
