Deadly Seven Kill Sword!

Seven Kill Sword, a strike is a kill!

Yue Guan unleashed his second soul skill, beginning to commune with these immortal herbs.

Off to the side, Dragon Duke and Snake Granny felt an itch in their hearts; they knew full well that those immortal herbs were absolute treasures.

It was just a pity that they were merely subordinates, not brothers to the Hall Master...

Xu Xiao sensed their eager gazes and looked toward Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, saying, "The two of you, if you perform well, you will also be rewarded with immortal herbs."

"As for when, that depends on your own efforts."

Dragon Duke and Snake Granny were instantly overjoyed. They had assumed there would be no share for them, yet who would have thought the Hall Master would actually grant them immortal herbs!

The two hurriedly pledged their loyalty: "Hall Master, we are loyal to you beyond compare!!"

"From now on, in life we are the Hall Master's people, and in death, we are the Hall Master's ghosts!"

Xu Xiao waved his hand: "I have no need for useless trash who look good but lack substance. The two of you must strive for yourselves."

"Soul rings and resources can be sought from me in the future, but as for the rest, it depends on you."

The two nodded repeatedly: "Hall Master, we shall go to your space to train right now!"

Xu Xiao did not stop them and nodded. The two of them rushed into the Spirit Pagoda happily, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

Xu Xiao chuckled, turned, and went to pluck the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

Dugu Bo and Gui Mei exchanged a smile and began to cultivate.

The two were currently waiting for a window of time, waiting for Xu Xiao's cooldown to end.

The cultivation speed of everyone was currently about the same, which was an important reason why Soul Bestowal was not timely.

The appearance of the immortal herbs narrowed the gap between them, but it also lengthened the time required for them to acquire soul rings.

It could be considered a drawback that wasn't really a drawback.

Chen Xin waited quietly, waiting for Yue Guan to find him the most suitable immortal herb.

Yue Guan asked them one by one: "Not you?"

"Not you either?"

Suddenly, a faint voice entered Yue Guan's ears: "His sword is highly compatible with me."

Yue Guan widened his eyes and immediately followed the sound, quickly finding a small, emerald-green blade of grass.

"Is it you?" Yue Guan asked hurriedly.

That weak voice sounded again: "Yes, it is me. I can help him."

Before the other party could finish, Yue Guan shouted out: "Big Brother, Fifth Brother, I found it!"

Chen Xin immediately walked over, and Xu Xiao also walked over after plucking the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

"Big Brother, Fifth Brother, it's this little blade of grass!"

Yue Guan pointed at the emerald-green grass and said excitedly.

Blue Silver Emperor also looked over: "Xu Xiao, I can feel the vitality of that little grass constantly waning."

Xu Xiao immediately looked at Yue Guan. Yue Guan understood and continued to communicate: "Little grass, are you dying?"

Xu Xiao covered his forehead. Great, everything he taught earlier was for nothing; who asks someone if they are dying right off the bat?

Although Yue Guan asked it that way, the grass answered earnestly: "It is death, yet it is not quite death!"

"My name is Sword Sever Grass. I sever upon seeing a sword. His martial soul is a sword; the moment it appeared, I knew I would die."

"After death, I will appear again, so it is not a complete death."

"I, Sword Sever Grass, sever upon seeing a sword and live for the sword. Dying for his sword is the most suitable end for me."

"Imperial Chrysanthemum, hand me over to him. Any later, and it will be useless."

As Sword Sever Grass spoke to Yue Guan, Yue Guan hurriedly plucked it while wrapped in his golden light: "Fifth Brother, swallow it quickly, or it will be useless."

Seeing this, Chen Xin immediately swallowed the Sword Sever Grass, then asked in a daze: "Third Brother, is this how one consumes it?"

Yue Guan was stunned; he didn't know, and the other party hadn't said.

Yue Guan scratched his head: "Sh... should be!"

Sh... should be? Chen Xin paused. It's over; why does he feel like he's dying?

After the Sword Sever Grass was swallowed, a terrifying sword intent erupted, surrounding Chen Xin, constantly slicing at his body.

Even his Seven Kill Sword martial soul was shattered under this sword intent.

Yue Guan watched this scene and swallowed hard: "Bi... Big Brother, is Fifth Brother really going to die?"

Xu Xiao laughed heartily: "Third Brother, rest assured. Fifth Brother has stumbled into this by accident. Just wait; his martial soul is about to evolve."

Only then did Yue Guan feel relieved.

Seeing this, Blue Silver Emperor used vines to wrap around Chen Xin, preventing his sword intent from harming the surrounding immortal herbs.

"Third Brother, you go cultivate as well. Don't worry, Fifth Brother will be fine." Xu Xiao patted his shoulder, telling him not to worry.

Yue Guan nodded repeatedly, "Second Brother, let's go to the second level."

Xu Xiao began consuming the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew beneath the Blue Silver Emperor, which was crucial for him to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring for his third spirit ring.

With the Blue Silver Emperor present, they had no need to worry about safety. This Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was here for more than just show.

Chen Xin, wrapped in vines, was covered in wounds, as if his life was about to be extinguished.

After the Seven Kill Sword shattered, a verdant energy enveloped the fragments. Beneath the verdant energy, the Seven Kill Sword began to be reforged slowly.

Chen Xin endured immense pain, sweat beading on his brow, his teeth clenched tightly, not uttering a sound.

Time passed, and Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword was restored.

The already handsome Seven Kill Sword now possessed an added sharpness, but there seemed to be no other changes.

"Seven Kill Soars the Sky, Deadly Seven Thousand Miles!"

"Sword!"

"Come!!"

"Kill!!!"

A voice filled with killing intent erupted from the vines.

The Blue Silver Emperor withdrew the vines, and instantly, a long sword rose into the air. The young man held the sword, killing intent surging in his eyes, and swung it with a single motion.

Sword energy crisscrossed, and sword intent surged to the heavens.

At this moment, the young man's sword seemed to have merged with him.

Sword Rises, All Things Fall!

Beneath the sword light, poisonous mist dispersed, trees splintered, and deep sword marks were left on the ground.

The young man sheathed his sword and slowly landed on the ground, bowing slightly to the youth beneath the Blue Silver Emperor, "Thank you, Big Brother!"

The youth beneath the Blue Silver Emperor gently raised his eyes, "Fifth Brother, you're too kind. It seems you've gained quite a lot!"

Chen Xin chuckled, "It's all thanks to your help, Big Brother."

"My Seven Kill Sword has evolved. It's now called the Deadly Seven Kill Sword!"

"Seven Absolutes Life-Taking, Nine Absolutes Certain Fall!"

Xu Xiao listened, bewildered. Why were sword techniques so mystical?

"Explain?" Xu Xiao asked.

"I unleash seven swords, and those of the same rank are certain to fall."

"I unleash nine swords, and those of a higher rank are certain to fall!"

Xu Xiao gasped, "Hiss, Fifth Brother, go chop your father nine times and let me see if he falls."

"Oh, Big Brother, that's not what I meant."

"This 'higher rank' depends on the person and their strength."

Chen Xin quickly explained, his face flushed.

Xu Xiao laughed heartily, "I understand, I understand."

"Meaning, if you can unleash nine swords, it's either you die or he dies."

What a "certain fall," so that's what it meant.

It meant one of you two had to die!
