Chapter 59: Soul Dagger Ascends, Nailed on the Board!
Roar—!!
The earth trembles violently under the trampling!
Dozens of Plague Pig Beasts, each the size of a small truck, lock their blood‑red eyes onto Su Ming.
Like an out‑of‑control steel torrent, they charge brazenly!
Good timing!
Su Ming doesn't retreat but advances, a blood‑thirsty grin curling at the corner of his mouth.
Perfect, saves me from hunting them down one by one!
Boom!
The Qi and blood inside him detonates fully.
His figure, like a phantom, darts forward to collide with the surging herd!
Slaughter!
This is a gluttonous feast prepared for the Soul Dagger in his hand!
Fast!
Fast to the extreme!
Pfft—!
A black flash streaks by!
The Plague Pig Beast at the front doesn't even have time to let out a wail.
Its massive head is instantly sliced clean off!
Putrid black blood spurts, the headless corpse erupts with a boom, turning into a sky of shredded flesh!
Su Ming flicks his wrist, the Soul Dagger hums, and its blade stays spotless of any blood.
Growth Progress: 751/1000
So awesome!
Su Ming only glances once, then continues working!
This is merely an appetizer!
Explode! All damn things, explode for me!
Roar!
The violent explosion, like a powder keg ignited, completely triggers the ferocity of all the wild pigs!
Further away in the pigsty, monster after monster also rushes toward this Flesh Mill!
Meat!
They want to eat meat!
Come! Continue!
Su Ming's battle spirit roars, his eyes also turn blood‑red with killing.
He can be even crazier than these rampaging beasts!
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
Su Ming, like an inexhaustible killing machine, crazily harvests amid the pig herd!
Blade flashes, pig heads tumble!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosion after explosion rises and falls, endless!
The whole Li Jia'ao turns completely into a human inferno shrouded in black blood!
Growth Progress: 813/1000!
Growth Progress: 826/1000!
Growth Progress: 840/1000!
……
So awesome! Too awesome!
The Soul Dagger's hum grows increasingly shrill.
On the blade, solidified black Qi whirls wildly.
As long as these mad pigs are all slain…
Soul Dagger ascends, nailed on the board!
Xiao Heizi breaks the shell; the day is near!
Kill!
Killing is right!
Hm?
Just as he is in the killing spree, ready to clear the whole field in one go.
An inexplicable palpitations surge from his heart without warning!
Cold!
Bone‑piercing!
As if in the void, an unseen pair of eyes watches all this indifferently!
Something's off!
Su Ming's killing motion jerked to a halt, and without hesitation he shot backward, putting distance between himself and the herd of pigs.
After obtaining the Fate Pocket Watch, ……
This near‑instinctual sense of danger has never been wrong!
The Eye of Truth, activated instantly to its utmost.
At the same moment, the pig carcass he had just slain exploded with a boom!
Boom——
This time, Su Ming saw everything clearly.
Within that exploding mist of blood and flesh, a strand of dark‑red energy quietly seeped out!
It was no different from before.
But……
These seeping energies were not dissipating chaotically into the air.
They……
Had a direction!
As if pulled by some force, like rivers flowing into the sea, they converged toward the same direction!
What's going on?
Su Ming's pupils contracted, and he snapped his head around.
Over there……nothing.
How is that possible?!
Damn it, I don't care anymore!
A flash of ruthlessness crossed Su Ming's eyes.
Delay brings change!
No matter what monsters or demons are pulling strings behind the scenes!
First I'll collect all these experience treasures, then we'll talk!
His qi and blood surged again inside him, erupting without reserve!
Speed!
Strength!
At this moment, they rose to their peak!
Die…… you bastard!
Su Ming let out a roar, and his figure vanished instantly from the spot!
The next second, the Soul Dagger cut through a mad boar's waist like tofu, cleaving it in half!
Su Ming's figure flickered again, appearing behind another mad boar!
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
He wanted to end it all at the fastest speed!
Strands of dark light flickered wildly among the pig herd!
Explosions rang out all around.
Su Ming's whole body had already been soaked through with the beasts' black blood!
Hum——
Suddenly, black light blazed from the Soul Dagger in Su Ming's hand!
The originally eerie blood‑red patterns on the blade surged like living things!
Red and black intertwined!
【Growth Progress: 1000/1000】!
Finally……
A flash of ecstasy crossed Su Ming's eyes as he was about to check the Soul Dagger's transformation.
But just then——
Rumble——!!!
The entire earth shook violently without any warning!
It seemed as if some terrifying beast deep underground was awakening!
What?!
Su Ming's face changed drastically, and he suddenly looked down.
He saw the black blood on the ground turn into countless thin streams, frantically flowing backward toward a single direction!
That direction……
Was exactly the endpoint where those dark‑red energies had been flowing!
Something's going to happen!
Su Ming's pupils suddenly contracted, and he abruptly looked up.
Hiss!
That huge crooked‑neck locust tree.
At some point, it had been stained with a strange, heart‑pounding blood‑red hue!
All the blood had become its nourishment!
Holy shit!
Xiao Heizi's experience pack is completely gone!
Su Ming's mindset exploded.
But in the next moment, an even more terrifying thought suddenly surfaced.
Source!
The pollution source he had been searching for...
It's this half-withered sophora tree that he had always treated as background!
This fucking... playing dirty?!
Before his words even fell!
The sky suddenly darkened.
The originally withered sophora tree branches and trunk actually grew wildly and spread.
Countless bloody branches and leaves sprouted out of nowhere, forming an eerie canopy that covered the sky and blocked the sun.
The cast shadows dyed the entire land an ominous dark red!
This fucking... Wood Release: Tree Realm Birth, right?!
Su Ming muttered a complaint.
Today... I actually got to see the real thing.
And on that thick, twisted tree trunk!
Gurgle... gurgle...
Countless flesh wriggled and gathered.
Finally, a huge eyeball suddenly tore through the bark, and red light blazed!
Malice!
Madness!
Chaos!
It... came alive!
Su Ming focused, and the Eye of Truth opened.
Hum—
Lines of burning scarlet text frantically jumped before his eyes.
【Altar Number V177】
【Connection Marker: Rotting Warm Bed】
【Karma Overview: Using myriad spirits' flesh and blood as feed, in a land of desperate death, nurturing 【Child of Rot】!
"V?"
"V177?"
Su Ming stared fixedly at the bloody red text, his heart sinking sharply.
The number changed!
It's no longer just a number.
An extra letter 'V' he had never seen before appeared in front!
What does this represent?
"Vice (Evil)?"
"Virus (Virus)?"
Or...
"What the fuck else?!"
Su Ming didn't have time to think about it in detail.
Danger!
Extreme danger!
The tree before his eyes, or rather, a living altar!
The oppression it brought him...
It was several times more terrifying than the previous Epic-level Na Lan Ran Ran's heart-demon resentful spirit!
"We must kill it before it fully completes its transformation!"
Su Ming's killing intent surged in his eyes.
He could feel that its aura was still constantly rising.
"The 'Child of Rot' mentioned in the introduction—who knows what kind of freaky thing that is!"
"Kill!"
Su Ming rushed forward, and the Soul Dagger burst with killing aura.
But also at this moment.
Boom——!!!
"Damn!"
