Chapter 376: Sword Spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword

"I am certain."

"Hmph! Stubborn and unyielding!"

"That thing is clearly the Soul-Devouring Sword; why did you lie to me that it was the Immortal-Slaying Sword?"

As soon as Chen Hao said this, Zhao Xuecheng’s heart skipped a beat.

His face turned deathly pale in an instant.

"You... how did you know?"

"That shouldn't be!"

Zhao Xuecheng prided himself on having done things flawlessly.

He had also learned of this secret realm by accident.

He had thought he could trap Chen Hao to death, but he didn't expect Chen Hao to be so cunning.

"So what if I know?"

Zhao Xuecheng changed his expression; his face became ferocious.

"If it were outside, I would fear you, but this is Sword-Fall Mountain."

"Sword Domain, open!"

In an instant, Zhao Xuecheng unleashed his Sword Domain.

"Rise!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Countless swords flew toward the sky, finally circling around Zhao Xuecheng.

"Kid, I'll give you one last chance."

"As long as you tell me the cultivation technique, I will spare you."

Ever since he learned that Chen Hao was self-taught, Zhao Xuecheng had become obsessed.

Every time he cultivated, he had to spend a high price to go to the Imperial Palace to absorb dragon energy.

Clearly, Chen Hao had a method of cultivation that didn't require absorbing dragon energy.

"If you want to come, then come; why so much nonsense?"

"Fine, since you are bent on dying, I will grant your wish!"

"Go!"

Swish, swish, swish!

The long swords surrounding Zhao Xuecheng attacked Chen Hao like a rainstorm.

"Hmph!"

Chen Hao snorted coldly.

He extended his right hand, and that Soul-Devouring Sword flew directly toward Chen Hao.

"Slash!"

Chen Hao poured all his energy into the Soul-Devouring Sword and then slashed fiercely.

Swish!

A sharp sword aura broke through the air.

This sword aura contained supreme power; it seemed capable of cutting the entire world apart.

The sword aura broke through all the long swords and finally hit Zhao Xuecheng in mid-air.

"Ah~!"

Zhao Xuecheng was cut in half from the middle by Chen Hao, blood spilling on the spot.

Chen Hao condensed flames in his right hand and threw them at Zhao Xuecheng.

Boom!

The scorching flames instantly engulfed Zhao Xuecheng’s corpse.

"Ding-dong!"

"Congratulations to the host, corpse collection successful!"

"Obtained SSS-grade ability—[Power of the Confucian Sword Immortal]!"

"[Power of the Confucian Sword Immortal]?"

Chen Hao recalled that Zhao Xuecheng did indeed give people the feeling of a scholar.

It was a pity, though, that this guy was a hypocrite.

Gold and jade on the outside, rotten on the inside.

"Kid, how long are you going to keep grabbing me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao looked toward the Soul-Devouring Sword in his hand.

"Are you the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword?"

"That's right."

The sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword emerged from the Soul-Devouring Sword.

Looking at the black-skinned child in front of him wearing a bellyband, Chen Hao narrowed his eyes.

"You're not very old, but your temper is quite big."

Upon hearing this, the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword said angrily, "Kid, what did you say?"

"In terms of age, I am old enough to be your great-grandfather."

"Be my great-grandfather?"

Chen Hao extended his right hand, directly pinched the ear of the Soul-Devouring Sword’s spirit, and lifted it up.

"Who did you say you were going to be the great-grandfather of?"

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

The sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword immediately began to beg for mercy.

Facing others, the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword dared to act tough.

But the guy in front of it was Chen Hao!

Chen Hao had the Heaven-Swallowing Technique in his body.

Just now, the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword tried to invade Chen Hao’s body, but when it discovered the Heaven-Swallowing Technique, it ran away in a flash.

The sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword felt that if it had been a moment later, it would have been swallowed by the Heaven-Swallowing Technique.

"Kid, how about we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal?"

"I will be your sword, and you let me become the real Immortal-Slaying Sword."

"Immortal-Slaying Sword? Why do you want to become the Immortal-Slaying Sword? I think your Soul-Devouring Sword is quite good."

"Good my ass; no matter how strong it is, it's just a common object."

"I want to transcend the mundane; at the very least, I need to hack a few immortals to have some fun."

As soon as the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword finished speaking.

The Heaven-Swallowing Technique appeared.

The Heaven-Swallowing Technique glanced at the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword with disdain.

"Little doll!"

Upon hearing this, the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword was just about to retort.

But the moment it saw the Heaven-Swallowing Technique, it wisely shut its mouth.

When one is under another's roof, one has to bow one's head!

"Chen Hao, I have a way to make it evolve and become the Immortal-Slaying Sword."

"Oh? What way?"

"That is for you to blood-sacrifice it, and then collect the five spiritual pearls of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth to temper it."

"At that time, it will be able to temper and be reborn, becoming an Immortal-Slaying Sword."

"Blood-sacrifice, and then collect spiritual pearls; isn't that too troublesome?"

"Not troublesome, not troublesome!"

"All these years, the Soul-Devouring Sword has been thinking about how to complete its transformation."

"Now that there is a path laid out in front of it, how could it not make a choice?"

"Boss, please, just take me in!"

The sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword began to beg Chen Hao.

"Fine, then I'll take you in."

Chen Hao condensed a drop of essence blood and shot it toward the Soul-Devouring Sword.

"Don't resist, I am going to refine you!"

"Okay!"

Chen Hao refined it very quickly, and plus the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword did not resist.

He successfully refined the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword.

Feeling the connection between itself and Chen Hao, the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword danced with joy.

When it saw the expressions of Chen Hao and the Heaven-Swallowing Technique.

The sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword froze.

It was completely bewildered, as if it had been cheated by a human trafficker and boarded a pirate ship.

The Heaven-Swallowing Technique disrupted the thoughts of the Soul-Devouring Sword’s spirit, and with the two of them singing a duet, the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword was fooled just like that.

"Liars, you two are actually liars."

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Swallowing Technique gave the Soul-Devouring Sword’s spirit a look of annoyance.

"I didn't lie to you; everything I said just now is true."

"However, finding even one spiritual pearl is extremely difficult."

"Let alone finding all five: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth."

Upon hearing this, the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword, like a child who had been wronged, directly pouted.

"Alright, don't be angry!"

"Don't worry, I will find a way to help you complete your transformation and become the Immortal-Slaying Sword."

"Really?"

The sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword had a skeptical look.

Chen Hao nodded very seriously this time.

He had a premonition that something big was about to happen.

Before long, all kinds of monsters and ghosts would probably appear.

There wasn't much time left for him.

Chen Hao prepared to leave with the sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword.

"Wait for me a moment!"

The sword spirit of the Soul-Devouring Sword suddenly flew up.

It opened its mouth wide and then inhaled rapidly.

Instantly, all the sword aura contained in the long swords of the entire Sword-Fall Mountain was sucked into the body of the Soul-Devouring Sword’s spirit.

The body of the Soul-Devouring Sword’s spirit grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only, the speed of this growth was frightening.

It was as if it were a balloon, expanding rapidly, as if it were about to explode.

"This lunatic!"
