Chapter 1694: Coming to Seek the Sword

Coming to Seek the Sword

The moment they saw these two lines of crooked words, both Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua froze.

If these were two lines of very beautiful words, the two of them might not be able to judge who the person throwing this halberd was... but the handwriting was so ugly, coupled with the ancient Killing Intent contained within it, the person behind it was already vividly portrayed!

"It's Spades?!" Jiang Xiaohua spoke in pleasant surprise.

From the start of the battle until now, the two of them had been waiting for Jian Changsheng's appearance. Although there had been no news of this guy ever since he went to the Ancient Vault of the Military Path, they believed that Jian Changsheng must have received Chen Ling's thought transmission... and he would definitely come.

At a time when this encirclement was almost At Wits' End, Jian Changsheng finally let everyone see a sliver of hope...

Although he himself didn't appear,

The handwriting on this rust-mottled Broken Halberd pointed out a clear path for Sun Bumian and the others who were deeply trapped in a dead end.

The Ancient Vault of the Military Path!

Since Spades said so, he must have his reasons.

Since things had come to this,

They had long had no other choice.

"Clubs! Do you have a way to lure it away?" Sun Bumian's voice sounded from within the Awakened Lion.

Jiang Xiaohua looked at the Calamity of Taboo rampaging beneath him. After hesitating for a moment, a flash of determination appeared in his pupils. Rings of bandages unraveled from his body, coiling around the base of the Lantern like swimming snakes...

Then his whole person fiercely leaped forward, charging in front of the Calamity of Taboo's eyes like a cannonball, grabbing the other side of the bandages with both hands, and tugging with all his might like an over-the-shoulder throw!

Buzz——!!!

The most fragile Lantern being fiercely dragged by Jiang Xiaohua, the Calamity of Taboo's attention abruptly shifted to him. For a time, it even forgot about the wounds on its body and the severe pain in its stomach. Opening its abyss-like giant mouth, it was about to bite towards Jiang Xiaohua!

But who knew that Jiang Xiaohua's reaction was extremely fast. Various witchcraft props were spat out from his mouth, and his whole person dodged forward at extremely fast speeds. Not only could he ignore the Curse Rune pollution on the Calamity of Taboo's body, but the aura of the Path of the Witch God radiating from him could actually trigger the Ancient Vault of the Witchcraft Path in the Calamity of Taboo's stomach, for a time making the Calamity of Taboo feel extremely uncomfortable once again.

Jiang Xiaohua going to this extent, the hatred value in the Calamity of Taboo's heart had already surpassed that Awakened Lion. Moreover, for some reason, when the Calamity of Taboo perceived the witchcraft aura on his body, it also had an urgent impulse to devour the other party...

Jiang Xiaohua just used himself as bait like this, forcefully dragging the Calamity of Taboo out of the Ice Plains and approaching the depths of the Forbidden Sea!

Seeing this, Sun Bumian's massive Awakened Lion body picked up Bai Ye and flew out stepping on the air, closely following behind.

"Can he really lure the Calamity of Taboo to the Ancient Vault of the Military Path?" Bai Ye pressed down the brim of his white baseball cap with one hand, the cold wind blowing his silver snake earrings to dance messily. "Although the Ancient Vault of the Military Path is right in the Forbidden Sea... once we enter the Forbidden Sea, that's the Calamity of Taboo's territory."

"I believe him." Sun Bumian's voice sounded from within the Awakened Lion. "If we really encounter any accidents, aren't there still the two of us?"

Bai Ye solemnly looked at the massive black shadow diving headlong into the frozen sea, carrying along the dust-like white-haired figure, and nodded slightly.

...

Ancient Vault of the Military Path.

The black leather jacket fluttered in the cold wind carrying the smell of blood.

A figure standing atop a mountain of corpses and weapons took a deep look in a certain direction, then leaped down from the peak!

The strong wind swept past, and Jian Changsheng's messy wolf tail hair danced wildly in the wind. Underneath the long hair that hadn't been trimmed for a long time, a pair of sharp and resolute eyes flickered with a cold gleam...

"Have you really thought this through?" Bai Qi's voice sounded in his mind. "Although you are already Rank 8, you're still too weak to barge into that place... even I can't protect you."

"Didn't you say that to kill the Calamity of Taboo, this is the only way?" Jian Changsheng spoke slowly,

"Today, no matter what... I will pull out that sword!"

Jian Changsheng's voice revealed an unprecedented madness. His figure was still falling, and in this cold and dim Ancient Vault of the Military Path, the outline of a giant sword piercing the heavens and the earth clearly reflected in his pupils...

The incomparably massive blade pointed straight at the firmament, and ancient Killing Intent filled every corner of the surrounding sea area. This sword was the true body of the Ancient Vault of the Military Path... To this day, Jian Changsheng still remembered the shock when he first came here and saw the full picture of the Ancient Vault of the Military Path.

And now, it was the closest he had ever been to this sword.

"No one can pull out the Ancient Vault of the Military Path, not even a Demigod of the Path of the Soldier... No matter how well you can fight or how much strength you have, it's useless." Bai Qi's voice sounded again.

"I know." Jian Changsheng paused for a moment. "But I want to try."

Boom——!!

Jian Changsheng's figure was like a meteorite, smashing heavily onto the earth ravaged by Killing Intent.

Who knew how many mass graves of a hundred thousand people were scattered behind Jian Changsheng. It was as if he had already slaughtered his way through all the ancient battlefields of the Ancient Vault of the Military Path and arrived at the true core area... In front of him, a mountain-like sword hilt towering over the earth was emitting a suffocating, terrifying Oppressive Aura.

Jian Changsheng took a deep breath, resting one hand on the hilt of the sword held horizontally at his waist, and slowly walked towards the foot of that giant sword piercing heaven and earth...

Buzz——!!!

The instant he stepped into the Military Path Restricted Zone, over ten streams of ancient Killing Intent, surging like monstrous giant waves, crashed over from the foot of the giant sword!!

Awe-inspiring phantom after phantom brimming with Killing Intent were outlined from the earth. They wore battle armors from different eras, holding various kinds of weapons, simultaneously looking towards that figure stepping into the Restricted Zone... In an instant, over ten terrifying Demigod auras of the Path of the Soldier seemed intent on crushing heaven and earth!

Every person here had verified their Dao through slaughter. They represented the ultimate "Military Path" of their respective eras. Even a single look was enough to make all living beings tremble...

They were the Demigod ghosts preserved by the Ancient Vault of the Military Path, the guardians in the depths of this Ancient Vault.

Washed over by the Killing Intent of over ten Demigods of the Path of the Soldier, Jian Changsheng, who had just stepped into the Restricted Zone, fiercely spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and almost plunged headfirst onto the ground.

In the final analysis, he was only a Rank 8 of the Path of the Soldier, and not even the Pathway Chief of the Path of the Soldier of this era...

He fundamentally didn't have the qualifications to step in here.

The shock of Killing Intent from these over ten Demigods of the Path of the Soldier was a warning, telling Jian Changsheng to hurry up and leave this place, otherwise, if he took another step forward, they would tear him to pieces.

But even after being targeted by over ten Demigods of the Path of the Soldier joining forces, Jian Changsheng did not leave. With his head lowered, as if carrying a large mountain on his shoulders, he arduously and resolutely stood straight again...

The leather-jacketed figure held the sword hilt single-handedly, standing amidst the surging Killing Intent, took a deep breath... and shouted loudly:

"Path of the Soldier [Asura] Jian Changsheng..."

"Comes to seek the sword!!!"
