Chapter 1893: The Sword of Slaughter Reappears

The Sword of Slaughter Reappears

The howling fierce wind brushed past the hilt of the giant sword.

Black ribbons danced. An armored figure stared fixedly at the continuously approaching Red Star under the starry sky.

And on the sword blade at this moment, the phantom projections of Demigods of the Path of the Soldier God flickered unsteadily under the suppression of the storm from the Red Star, like candles in the wind, seemingly about to dissipate soon.

"No good... That thing's suppression on the Divine Pathways is too strong. With just us, we can't even get close to it." A Demigod of the Way of the Soldier spoke in a deep voice.

"We still have to go! The Red Star won't crash into the Ancient Vault of the Military Path on its own. Besides us in this world, who else can pull this sword up?"

"But if this continues, we'll all be blown away. Without us hoisting it, how can it sever the Red Star?"

"..."

All the Demigods of the Way of the Soldier fell silent at the same time.

"We can only trust him this once..."

"Whether we can hoist the sword to the vicinity of the Red Star and execute this strike... all depends on him."

"Do you really believe his nonsense? How can he swing this sword alone?"

"Right now, other than taking a gamble, what other way is there?"

"Moreover..."

"He's also not alone."

Bai Qi held the hilt behind his waist with one hand, his black hair fluttering silently... Behind him, a phantom projection condensed from Killing Intent was also watching that rapidly plummeting Red Star.

"No wonder you didn't erase my soul... So, you've been preparing for today all along." Jian Changsheng gave Bai Qi a complex look,

"You knew long ago that with one person's strength, it's impossible to hoist this sword... You also knew long ago that if the Path of the Soldier God wanted to get close to the Red Star, it could only use souls as consumables like armor, protecting outside the Killing Intent of the Way of the Soldier, isolating the Red Star's influence on the Divine Pathways."

"These Demigods of the Way of the Soldier will be blown away by the Red Star's power, and a soul like mine is the same..."

"But even if we can delay for one more second for you, and save one more point of strength, it's worth it."

Bai Qi glanced at him, "How does it feel to be used?"

"...A bit unpleasant."

Jian Changsheng shrugged, "After all, I thought you really treated me as a Disciple and felt pity, which was why you kept me until now... Now it seems, I was too naive."

"However..."

Jian Changsheng changed the subject,

"Since it's to sever the Red Star, then even if I'm used, it doesn't matter... Aren't these Demigods of the Way of the Soldier also willing to be used by you, even knowing your purpose?"

Bai Qi coldly withdrew his gaze and didn't answer.

"But I have to state beforehand, if we succeed, fine..." Jian Changsheng stared fixedly at Bai Qi, "But if after we're done being used, you still fail to sever the Red Star, I won't let you off even as a ghost!"

"You're already a ghost. After your soul is completely destroyed, everything will turn to nothingness... You won't have that chance."

Bai Qi spoke lightly.

Jian Changsheng immediately jumped up and down in anger.

As this human sword of slaughter streaked across the sky, getting closer and closer to the Red Star, the storm devouring civilization became even stronger. The aura of the Path of the Soldier God instantly agitated uncontrollably. The many Demigods of the Way of the Soldier on the sword blade became increasingly blurred and unsteady.

"I can't hold on anymore... If this continues, we won't even make it in front of the Red Star." A Demigod of the Way of the Soldier gritted his teeth and spoke,

"You guys hide behind me. If I'm blown away by the storm, you guys take over!"

Naturally, there were no cowards among those who could become Demigods of the Way of the Soldier. Everyone's gazes changed slightly. After hesitating for just a moment, they formed a line without hesitation, hiding behind that Demigod phantom.

The Red Star's storm swept over the sword blade and was entirely withstood by the leading Demigod of the Way of the Soldier. The many Demigod phantoms behind him got a chance to catch their breath, hoisting this sword of slaughter to fly forward with all their might.

As they approached the Red Star, the phantom of the first Demigod of the Way of the Soldier visibly dissipated. Seeming to know that his soul was about to be completely destroyed, he looked back fiercely at Bai Qi...

"Bai Qi, don't embarrass our Path of the Soldier God!!"

Woo woo——

The storm surged wildly, and his voice gradually disappeared in the whimpering wind.

Immediately after, the second Demigod phantom stepped forward, using his own body to continue forcibly withstanding the Red Star storm for the other Demigods.

Bai Qi silently watched this scene like a cold-blooded general sitting back and watching his soldiers charge into a meat-grinder-like battlefield. Not the slightest emotional fluctuation could be seen on his face.

Jian Changsheng's fists clenched tightly.

In the previous world, Jian Changsheng had personally swung this sword of slaughter. He naturally knew how difficult this thing was to control. Without these Demigods of the Way of the Soldier, let alone flying this sword into the sky, they wouldn't even be able to pull it out from the Ancient Vault of the Military Path.

And he had also seen with his own eyes that someone as strong as the Fifth Generation Red King was almost wiped out by this storm targeting Divine Pathways when ascending the Red Star. These Demigods of the Way of the Soldier before him didn't even have physical bodies, only souls. Before the Red Star storm, they were even more fragile like blank paper...

But even so, they still advanced wave upon wave, using their bodies to resist the storm, forcibly tearing open a path for Jian Changsheng and Bai Qi.

At this moment, they let go of their past grievances, let go of their past selves, and instead became pure incarnations of the "Way of the Soldier," becoming a part of humanity's sword of slaughter.

They were no longer some independent "person" in history, but the incarnation of civilization accumulated by humanity over thousands of years.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

The Red Star's trajectory continuously approached before Jian Changsheng's eyes.

One after another, Demigods of the Way of the Soldier in history were obliterated in the Red Star's storm.

This was a relay race, a relay race of death... What was obliterated were their souls; what was passed on, was humanity's final weapon to resist the Red Star.

"Bai Qi, we can't hold on for much longer... Even without us, you must be able to pick up this sword."

"Lord of Wuan, don't embarrass our Path of the Soldier God."

"This time, you owe us a huge favor..."

"Sever the Red Star!"

"Otherwise, you've let us down."

"..."

As this giant sword tottered and barely flew to the boundary point between azure and pitch-black skies, the phantom of the last Demigod of the Way of the Soldier dissipated without a trace...

The sword of slaughter, having lost all hoisting force, began to plummet towards the earth.

At the same time,

A cluster of Killing Intent crazily spread like a palm blotting out the sky and sun, suddenly gripping the massive hilt!

Bai Qi站在剑柄之上，浑身的杀气都在虚无中激荡，他死死的盯着头顶疯狂靠近的赤星残骸，一股灼热的战意在眼瞳中熊熊燃烧！

在他的身后，一个同样身披甲胄的少年将军虚影，勾勒而出！

"I really want to see... exactly how hard this Red Star can be?"
