Martial Saint through Reading

Sentry Shadow was terrified, and summoned all his treasures for defense.

However.

Chu Ming took several breaths to prepare a killing move that Sentry Shadow could not resist.

When the residual power of the sword technique dissipated, there was nothing left of Sentry Shadow, who was just boasting a moment ago, but a broken corpse.

Chu Ming walked to the corpse, bent down to pick up a similarly shattered storage treasure, frowning slightly.

“It seems like I might have used too much force…”

The Shadow Tower excels in killing techniques, and this person was a powerhouse of the Returning to the Origin Realm from the Shadow Tower, so Chu Ming was very cautious. Utilizing the brief moment of Sentry Shadow’s derision of Xing Man, he secretly prepared the True Intent Divine Techniques’ sword technique deduced in the Fifth Sword Tomb.

However, this Seventh Realm powerhouse from the Shadow Tower did not seem to be as strong as expected.

The thing that caused his emotions to fluctuate was that the recent strike destroyed the opponent’s storage space, and the treasures Sentry Shadow used for defense were all destroyed…

Sometimes, excessive power is not so good; it can easily destroy the spoils of battle.

Shaking his head lightly, Chu Ming picked up several severely damaged treasure fragments nearby, considering that they might be reusable.

“Let’s go.”

After killing this person, the Sword Gourd Spirit did not detect any other members of the Shadow Tower, so he prepared to continue to the Sixth Sword Tomb.

“…Yes.” Xing Man’s heart pounded as she bowed to follow.

The power of that recent strike was like a cold shower that awakened her.

After clearing her mind, Xing Man was left with only hatred for Han Court.

The Sixth Sword Tomb of the Seven-Star Sword Tomb, the Merak Sword Tomb, was a place shrouded in darkness, with ghostly shadows, where chilling sword qi might suddenly strike at any moment.

Chu Ming and Xing Man stood at the entrance, not immediately entering.

Like the Fifth Sword Tomb, the danger level of this tomb increases with the number of people entering simultaneously.

“Wait here for me.”

Chu Ming did a bit of exploration, summoned the Seven-Star Divine Sword and the Celestial Cyan Lock Chain for protection, and stepped into the tomb first.

Rustle—

The scenery shifted.

Darkness surrounded, sword qi softly hummed.

Taking a step forward.

Whoosh—

Cold sword qi howled, slashing down.

Clang—

The Seven-Star Divine Sword instantly struck out, blocking the sword qi, while Chu Ming turned his gaze. He saw a semi-transparent human-like figure wielding a black sword and striking.

Inside the Sixth Sword Tomb, there were no sword puppets or sword spaces; only these shadows transformed from sword intent, or rather called Sword Tomb Vengeful Spirits, rumored to be the condensed resentment of the tomb’s interred souls.

Sizzle—

With a blocked strike, the vengeful spirit emitted a piercing shriek as if to rupturing eardrums, eerie enough to terrify anyone. Then the transformed black sword dropped again with a more fearsome strike.

Upon witnessing this, Chu Ming showed not a hint of panic, but rather a touch of delight in his expression.

Even more baffling was that he even stored away the Seven-Star Divine Sword, not blocking the vengeful spirit’s strike, but only relying on the Celestial Cyan Lock Chain close to his defense.

In the next instant.

Crackle—

When the black sword was within half a meter of him, it suddenly reacted as if a hot iron had been plunged into cold water, with thick white fog rising violently.

Following immediately was the visible cracking and melting of the black sword…

“It truly works.”

Chu Ming’s eyes glimmered with Condensing Light, as the Qi Rhythm White Light of the Book and Painting Realm expanded instantly, enveloping the vengeful spirit.

“Ah—”

The vengeful spirit emitted a ghostly wail akin to mournful sobs, desperately struggling.

But the Book and Painting Realm perfectly counters sinister and bizarre entities, making any struggle of the vengeful spirit futile.

In just moments, the once hair-raising spirit was reduced to a mere bundle of sword intent and a black sword fragment.

Picking up the sword intent, Chu Ming directly fused it into the Seven-Star Divine Sword, yet as he stared at the black sword fragment, he chose not to absorb it.

“Seeing it’s suppressed by the Book and Painting Realm shows its dark attribute…” he extended his palm, and the Mutated Black Flame burst forth, “I wonder whether it could replace Black Soul Wood, becoming the Yin attribute nourishment for the Mutated Black Flame.”

The black sword fragment could be used to enhance the Seven-Star Divine Sword, but it could be substituted by other fragments.

Comparatively, having the black sword fragment truly act as a dark attribute to strengthen the Mutated Black Flame would be a pleasant surprise.

The Mutated Black Flame rested in the middle, with the left holding the dark attribute black sword fragment, and the right containing the Qi Rhythm White Light from the Book and Painting Realm, attempting to feed it.

But upon the first attempt, the Mutated Black Flame displayed an extremely resistant flicker.

Chu Ming initially thought the balance wasn’t right, but soon realized it was not the case; rather, it was that the black sword fragment lacked the properties of Black Soul Wood as a Yin attribute.

Trying several times, all ended in failure, leaving him somewhat disappointed as he looked at the sword fragment.

It seems it can only be fused into the Seven-Star Divine Sword now.

Just as he intended to do so, he suddenly recalled something.
