Chapter 353

Countless blades collided, then were deflected back, crashing into other blades.

In the end, they finally managed to barely intercept and deflect all the greatswords.

Su Ming then gripped the broken Frost-Flame Death Scar sword and lunged forward to strike!

*Squelch! *

The blade pierced through the crumbling Life-Fusion Shield and plunged directly into Geng Zheng's heart.

At this instant, Geng Zheng also thrust out a plain, unremarkable little stone from his hand.

In that split second, the stone shattered.

A greatsword of rules condensed and shot through.

Su Ming's eyes sharpened, and he immediately manipulated the broken Frost-Flame Death Scar blade to turn and block this strike.

But this sneak attack was too insidious; Su Ming failed to shatter it, only managing to knock it slightly off course.

The Blade of Rules barely grazed Su Ming's shoulder, causing a very minor wound that leaked a few drops of blood.

Geng Zheng revealed a bloody, miserable smile, as if he were satisfied just to have wounded Su Ming.

Before dying, he had used the rules to disguise one of his swords as a stone to ambush Su Ming—it was truly impossible to guard against.

Su Ming sighed inwardly; as expected of a subordinate of the Zhang family, shameless enough...

Taking advantage of the final moment before Geng Zheng's death, Su Ming raised his hand to activate the Blood-Sucking Black Edge sword for a strike.

The pitch-black blade pierced through Geng Zheng's skull.

The blade entered through the temple and exited through the mouth.

Viscous blood flowed and dripped down.

This final strike stacked his Death Scar count to 100.

【Death Scar count 100, immediate death.】

Geng Zheng was already on the verge of death, and now, with the Death Scar stack added on top...

He collapsed to the ground and died instantly.

Dead as could be.

And the Black Edge sword's affix successfully took effect.

Drink Red: Absorbs the blood it stains to heal the wielder's wounds.

The Sword of Rules shattered as Geng Zheng fell.

Su Ming's wound then healed immediately.

The healing ability of a platinum-grade weapon affix is extremely strong.

Not to mention, it was absorbing the living blood of a fourth-turn expert, making the effect even more pronounced.

Very quickly, the small wound on his shoulder recovered as if it had never been there.

Su Ming had transcended a major realm to slay a fourth-turn expert without sustaining any serious injuries; this was the extent of his current strength.

At this moment, Su Ming noticed his Gold-Patterned Fish Sword acting as if it couldn't wait any longer; it rushed onto Geng Zheng's disc, clinging to it and gnawing frantically!

Its scales flared as it tore savagely at the diamond-grade rune disc!

Su Ming didn't stop it, instead letting it feed.

After all, the Gold-Patterned Fish Sword had a chance to inherit the affixes and special effects of the objects it devoured, and he wanted to see what it could grow into after consuming a diamond-grade weapon.

This thing was extremely hard; even for the Gold-Scaled Fish Sword, gnawing on it was very difficult.

*Crunch, crunch, crunch. *

A crisp crunching sound echoed, and after a while, the Gold-Patterned Fish Sword finally managed to gnaw the entire disc clean.

Subsequently, a voice appeared in Su Ming's mind.

【Gold-Patterned Fish Sword has gained the special effect: Rune Blade.】

Suddenly, dark purple runes emerged on the golden-bright scale blade, looking extremely profound.

【Rune Blade: This sword can tear through magic and shatter runes.】

This new effect was very strong.

Most magic attacks were illusory and lacked a physical form, but with the Rune Blade, he could directly shatter magic.

Following this, Su Ming also gained a large amount of experience.
