Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Victory Harvest_1

Slaughter-Rotting Sword Rain!

Whoosh!

The downpour was fierce, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be countless fine, short swords.

Even more carefully, one would sense the horrific killing intent that filled each and every short sword.

The dense Sword Qi, like a torrential downpour, enveloped all enemies within dozens of meters, leaving no one untouched.

But due to the control of a will, it deftly avoided the Thousand-Handed Demon General and the Fire Wolf Demon General.

Hisssssssss...

The Sword Qi, infused with a terrifying will to slaughter, was nearly invincible and indestructible. Wherever it fell, decay and rot ensued.

And the people who stood there, in the face of this dreadful Sword Intent, had no power to resist and fell to the ground one after another.

At this time, any protective True Essence or Defensive Magical Treasures were meaningless.

If one’s strength was inferior to Ling Xiao, there was only one outcome—

Defeat!

In an instant!

It lasted less than the time it took to blink an eye!

As many people as charged forward were the same number that fell.

All these people were severely injured and immobile, their faces showing terror and regret.

Ling Xiao sheathed the Rainfall Sword because there was no need to continue the attack.

The Extraordinary Swordsman swung his great saber, and all these people became ghosts beneath his blade.

Limbs and arms were scattered everywhere.

They didn’t even have the chance to beg for mercy or to flee!

Ling Xiao was never a merciful person. If someone wanted to kill him, he would retaliate with tenfold, a hundredfold force, and never give his enemy any chance.

The Thousand-Handed Demon General and the Fire Wolf Demon General watched, dumbfounded.

They had just thought about joining the fight to help, but it turned out to be completely unnecessary.

Suddenly, they caught sight of a figure speeding through the air.

"Brother Ling, the Grand Castle Master is trying to escape!"

The Thousand-Handed Demon General shouted.

"He won’t escape!"

Ling Xiao sneered, and thirty-six Sky Gang Swords flew out from his back rapidly pursuing the Grand Castle Master. His body was then punctured into a honeycomb pattern, with exactly thirty-six holes, no more, no less.

Bang!

The Grand Castle Master fell dozens of meters away, like a dead dog.

Ling Xiao smiled faintly, retracted the Sky Gang Flying Swords, and then walked toward the body of the Grand Castle Master.

After searching, he found three things on the Grand Castle Master’s corpse—

Precious Treasure Artifacts for attack: Jade Water Trident

Precious defensive Treasure: Tortoise Shell Heart-Protector Mirror

The other was a Storage Ring.

Ling Xiao had no interest in the Jade Water Trident and the Tortoise Shell Heart-Protector Mirror. What he cared about more was the Heart of the Ocean embedded in them.

"Brother Ling, only the Sea Race’s gem artisans can embed and remove the Heart of the Ocean. It’s a pity that all the Sea Race here have moved away, otherwise, we could have taken it out."

No sooner had the Thousand-Handed Demon General finished speaking than he was stunned.

Because Ling Xiao had already taken out the two Hearts of the Ocean.

One of these Hearts of the Ocean was of water attribute and the other was of earth attribute, corresponding to the treasures!

This means that only magical treasures of the Treasure level can be embedded, but those of the Spiritual Tool level or higher cannot be used.

It was incredibly simple for him to remove this item; a cursory analysis by the Mountain and River Martial Soul revealed how to extract and embed it, and there was no need for a jeweler at all.

Ling Xiao embedded the water-attribute Heart of the Ocean into the Rainfall Sword, thereby nearly doubling the power of this Precious Treasure Artifact level Rainfall Sword, and making its toughness and sharpness almost comparable to an Immortal-grade Treasure.

The difference between a weapon with embedded gems and one without is indeed significant.

He embedded the other Heart of the Ocean into the Tortoise Shell Heart-Protecting Mirror, since none of his weapons could use it—mismatched properties wouldn’t enhance the attack but could potentially interfere instead.

The Tortoise Shell Heart-Protecting Mirror is quite effective in boosting defensive power.

Ling Xiao had previously studied the market for magical treasures in detail.

At the very least, within the Sect world, the value of defensive magical treasures is definitely higher than that of offensive and auxiliary ones.

The reasoning is simple: if you lose your life, then nothing else matters.

A single Precious Treasure Artifact level defensive magical treasure can cause Transcendent Realm Martial Artists to fight tooth and nail over it.

Not to mention a defensive magical treasure embedded with a Heart of the Ocean, which would be desperately sought after even by Martial Artists who have just entered the Heavenly Man Realm.

Transcendent Realm Martial Artists who possess such items wouldn’t dare to show off, because with their strength, they simply couldn’t protect such a treasure.

For Ling Xiao to have this item was tantamount to having an extra life.

After all, the opponents he was encountering were getting stronger and stronger; another layer of protection meant one less danger.

After handling the two Hearts of the Ocean, Ling Xiao checked the Grand Castle Master’s Storage Ring.

This guy’s Storage Ring was indeed wealthy, containing a whopping one million Low-grade Spirit Stones!

A hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones!

And even a few dozen Upper-grade Spirit Stones!

Ling Xiao still couldn’t use the Upper-grade Spirit Stones since his cultivation level wasn’t high enough to directly draw spiritual qi from them. Probably even Heavenly Man Realm Martial Artists couldn’t manage it, and one might have to reach the Cave Heaven Realm or even the Yin-Yang Realm.

But Middle-grade Spirit Stones were different; for Ling Xiao, they were exactly what he needed for his current stage of cultivation. Unexpectedly gaining a hundred thousand at once should be enough to promote him from the initial stage of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer to the Half-step Celestial Honored Realm.

However, taking another step forward would still not be enough; he would need to find more.

The Storage Rings of the Second Fortress Master, Third Fortress Master, and the rest of the Demon Generals and Elders also contained Low-grade and Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

However, there were many more Low-grade Spirit Stones—about one million in total, almost the same amount as what the Grand Castle Master had on his own.

There were far fewer Middle-grade Spirit Stones; all these people combined only had about ten thousand, which was merely a tenth of what the Grand Castle Master possessed.

Of course, aside from the Spirit Stones, these people’s Storage Rings contained a good number of weapons and Martial Arts Secret Books.

But most of them were of no interest to him and he had no use for them.

The only exception was a Jade-grade Entry-level Martial Arts manual for the body movement technique ’Fish Dragon Transformation’.

Ling Xiao examined it closely and felt that ’Fish Dragon Transformation’ bore some similarity to ’Golden Light Dragon Wings’.

The latter was a movement technique for flying.

Whereas the former was meant for movement in the deep sea.

He could completely integrate ’Fish Dragon Transformation’ into the ’Cloud Dragon Divine Movement’; if so, he would truly be able to travel through the heavens and the sea, becoming omnipotent.

...

Time flew, and another day had passed.

Now, the Demon Castle City had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Teleportation Array Formation, which only the Grand Castle Master could control, was now completely comprehended by Ling Xiao, so most of the humans who had been imprisoned or trapped in Demon Castle City chose to leave.

The Thousand-Handed Demon General, Fire Wolf Demon General, and the family of Tu Yan were all sent by Ling Xiao to the Divine Sword Sect ahead of everyone else.

Of course, there were also many who chose to stay.

They had already adapted to life here, feeling no need to be influenced by the secular world.

More importantly, without those Fortress Masters, Demon Generals, and Elders, they could now control their own destiny.

Staying here was not so bad after all.
