Chapter 997

Seeing Su Ming still alive, Yan Ze clenched his fists, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.

He looked at Su Ming with a sorrowful expression.

"Su Ming, Wan Wu died at the hands of that Rock-Fighting Saint to protect me..."

Su Ming just nodded without saying much.

Wan Wu... although he had once done many evil deeds, after becoming his slave, he had risked his life for everything, and his nature had long since changed for the better.

He should not have died.

There was a hint of anger in Su Ming's eyes.

He raised his head and calmly stared at the Zhang family members.

The killing intent in his eyes was overwhelming, making people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

The black-feathered bird, Xiao Ming, flapped its wings and fell from the sky, landing on his shoulder.

The cracks on its beak were clearly visible.

The blood of the Nether Bird dripped down the tip of its beak, staining the shoulder of Su Ming's clothes.

His pressure was peak, like a fierce god descending to the world; just his gaze forced the sky-filling demon clans to not dare to attack for a moment!

In the sky, the Demon Monarch was in a bloody battle with Xiang Wuhui, and his purple robe also had some tattered battle damage.

He saw Su Ming, and deep shock immediately appeared in his eyes.

"This kid is actually... still alive!?"

"The Demon-Suppressing Tower collapsed, the refining power within flowed out, and the ruins crashed down; it should have been enough to leave not even a scrap of any peak Venerable-realm Demon Ancestor!"

"Yet he was able to come out alive, and he is also holding..."

"My daughter?"

His face was cold as he looked at Liu Die'er in Su Ming's arms.

Xiang Wuhui laughed out loud and shouted across the air.

"Haha, kid, I knew you were still alive!" He drank a mouthful of wine, his drunkenness hearty.

Liu Die'er looked up at her father, her expression dazed.

"Father, stop!" she said, looking up.

Zi Tuo, however, said gloomily with full killing intent.

"Hmph, back then I should have killed you along with that little half-breed!"

"A daughter who colludes with humans is not worth having!"

"After I slaughter these humans, I will kill you too!"

"Don't worry, you won't even have a demon grave, because you don't deserve it!" His eyes were indifferent, as if he had no feelings for Liu Die'er at all.

After all, the Demon Monarch had millions of offspring in his life; Liu Die'er truly had nothing special about her to him.

The demon clan was not like the human clan; they did not value relationships but only focused on strength—the law of the jungle!

After speaking, the Demon Monarch's anger rose, and he once again united with the sky-filling demon clans to battle Xiang Wuhui.

In the firmament, demon power and sword Qi swept across, the pressure causing the earth to tremble!

The Demon Monarch knew deep down.

Now that the humans were infighting, those young human Venerables had all been dragged down and could hardly help Xiang Wuhui with all their might.

So this moment was the best time for him to join forces with the sky-filling Demon Ancestors to suppress and kill Xiang Wuhui!

"Liu Die'er, you retreat to the rear, don't hinder me from drawing my sword."

Su Ming's eyes were calm as he said in a low voice.

Liu Die'er nodded, left his embrace, and ran all the way to the side of Ni Shuang, Ji Yao, and the others.

Before leaving, she looked deeply at Su Ming, her gaze lingering on the blade in his hand for a moment.

Her Xuan Lang had turned into a weapon spirit, and his consciousness had completely dissipated.

But his power had been preserved forever.

Perhaps, this was also another form of eternity.

Su Ming's eyes, flowing with golden light, scanned the Zhang family members ruthlessly.

He stood straight, his mind moving slightly.

The weapons in the Ronghai Sword Case on his back all flew out, circling in the clouds in the sky to help Xiang Wuhui kill the surrounding demon clans!

He directly controlled the swords to assist Senior Xiang Wuhui in his battle against the Demon Monarch!

As for Su Ming himself, facing the Zhang family, only one Demon-Suppressing Sword was enough!

After this sword integrated Li Xuan's weapon spirit, it was originally an ancient-grade low-tier weapon.

After Su Ming sublimated it, it became a legendary-grade weapon!

That's right, legendary!

It was only one step away from the top-tier mythical-grade weapon!

【Shushan Path · Sword (Legendary)】

【When drawn, the sky collapses and all evil retreats; when sheathed, the heavens and earth freeze in killing light】

【Turning the tide, the path does not falter; heavenly soldiers left in the world suppress Shushan for long】

【Equipment Condition: Human】

【Strength +1000】

【Agility +1000】

【A peerless divine sword from the Shushan dungeon world, sublimated from the sentient Demon-Suppressing Sword; it is the supreme sword of this world, none other, containing all the sword essence of the past Shushan Sword Sect leaders】

【Shushan Sword Legacy: This sword contains the sword intent of the past fifty-six Shushan leaders, the Sword Saints; the wielder can activate one of their strongest sword techniques through this sword】

【Demon-Suppressing Vessel: This sword deals 3x final calculated damage to the demon clan】

【Innate Profound Spirit: This sword contains a weapon spirit; if enough demon clans are slaughtered, the weapon spirit might awaken...】

There were not many affixes, just three short ones.

But each one was an extremely terrifying affix.

Shushan Sword Legacy allowed Su Ming to activate one of the strongest sword techniques of the past Sword Saints.

In other words, he gained fifty-six sword technique skills of no less than ancient quality out of thin air.

The Demon-Suppressing Vessel affix was even more heaven-defying, dealing 3x final calculated damage to the demon clan!

Final calculation meant the calculation after all talents, bonuses, BUFFs, critical hits, and other effects were accounted for.

Which meant all the above damage bonuses could be tripled again.

This meant the 60x power of the Origin Sword Body could be tripled again, totaling a terrifying 180x power.

Such an extraordinary sword power bonus was enough for Su Ming to fight the Demon Monarch BOSS at the semi-Saint realm while at the sixth turn.

The weapon spirit was also rare and precious; even among ancient equipment, it rarely appeared.

Once successfully condensed, this sword was almost equivalent to having its own divine consciousness, capable of helping the master in battle or even protecting the master on its own.

Moreover, once the weapon spirit resonated with the master, it could significantly increase the power of sword moves!

Not to mention, this weapon also had an exaggerated attribute bonus.

It directly provided Su Ming with a total of 2000 attribute points, which could be called unparalleled!

He gripped this ancient long sword and walked slowly toward the Zhang family members.

A gray-black sword robe danced with the wind.

The black-feathered bird standing on his shoulder also opened its azure eyes, its pupils dilated, staring fixedly at the crowd, its killing intent pure and clear.

Xiao Ming seemed to be helping its master build momentum!

Paired with Su Ming's temperament, Xiao Ming looked like a totem of the God of Death.

The image of one swordsman and one Nether Bird was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

"Killing... God!?"
