Weapon Master

Chapter 227 - Sword Soul King

If it was really a vengeful spirit in front of him, Tang Huan would have thought that it was a Human Clan Sword Master who had suppressed his own cultivation. Of course, if the other party was really a Martial Warriors, Tang Huan wouldn’t have used the Grandmaster Insignia that he had left behind long ago and escaped.

The reason why he was at a disadvantage even when using a sword technique that had reached perfection was also very obvious.

Firstly, the form of the opponent’s vengeful spirit caused it to have an instinctive fear of the ”Nirvana Sacred Fire”. Secondly, the restraining effect of this kind of Spiritual Fire was also extremely strong, preventing it from fully unleashing its strength; secondly, the ”Sword Seal” at the center of Tang Huan’s brows made the opponent’s sonic wave attack useless.

Third, its opponent was already severely injured, and its current strength was insufficient to allow it to display the greatest of its power.

Fourth, in the air above the ”Mazy Sword Valley”, the gigantic sword still did not disappear. The majestic and vast sword concept was still howling and surging in the Sword Crafting Valley, and should have greatly suppressed the armored vengeful spirit. Otherwise, it would not have been able to hide within the stone cliff with not doing anything at all.

Because of this, as time passed, Tang Huan’s advantage was also becoming more and more obvious.

Now, Tang Huan had already activated the ”Nirvana Sacred Fire” to the extreme, the strong heat was surging out at every moment, and the temperature of the inside the cave was growing higher and higher. This environment clearly made the armored vengeful spirit feel more and more uncomfortable, and its reaction speed had already slowed down by quite a bit.

”Ding!”

Yet another sharp and clear collision sound resonated within the inside the cave. The armored vengeful spirit pushed the longsword in his hand, but the Dragon and Phoenix Lance were only slightly cheaper, and did not deviate completely from its original trajectory like before.

”Ya!”

As its body retreated backwards, its back was already about to touch the wall at the end of the cave. Inside the helmet, the two Blood Red Odor s were already shaking even more violently.

Tang Huan squinted his eyes and shot forward like a wild horse breaking free from its reins. The long spear followed behind him like a shadow, bringing about a blazing heat wave that struck at the neck of the armored vengeful spirit.

”Chi!”

Sword-light danced about. The longsword in the vengeful spirit’s hand moved along the tip of the spear like a snake, and then it crashed down onto the spear head like a spring. Then, with the aid of the impact, its body floated a few meters, and when it touched the left wall of the cave, it shot forward without pause.

”You want to escape?”

Tang Huan had that thought in an instant. He turned the spear in his hand and directly thrust it backwards, the terrifying killing intent immediately enveloping the armored vengeful spirit. At this moment, the might of the Dragon and Phoenix Spear changed drastically. An incredibly powerful killing intent swept out in this small space.

This was the second style of ”Fire Beacon” from the ”Flaming Rainbow Spear Art”!

After frantically attacking for a period of time using the most direct method possible, Tang Huan finally made use of the opportunity of the vengeful spirit in his armor to escape, and used his strongest combat skill at the moment. After being promoted to Stage Six Martial Master, the Fire Beacon Style also exploded with an even more terrifying power.

With a thrust of his spear, the area within two meters around the spearhead seemed to have transformed into a battlefield, as an incomparably condensed aura surged back and forth, even the air itself seemed to have solidified.

”Ya!”

The tip of the sword was like a snake spitting out its tongue as it shook rapidly. Traces of black Qi gushed out of the sword’s body and were instantly triggered by the sword force. A black whirlpool that was moving at a fast speed was condensed at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye.

In that moment, the cave that was illuminated as bright as day by Xiao Budian’s Golden Horn’s holy light and the spear light, actually dimmed down, as if the light was being continuously devoured by the black vortex.

In a split-second, the blazing Fire Red Long Spear pierced into the black whirlpool.

”Boom!”

Amidst the deafening sound, a red light suddenly shot out from the depths of the whirlpool.

Immediately, the red light became stronger and stronger, while the black vortex rapidly melted. By the time the longsword in the Evil Spirit Armor’s hand was revealed again, the red light had already stuck close to the sword and stabbed into the gap between the chest armor and the waist guard.

”Ya!”

The wailing became more and more miserable as the inside the cave echoed. The vengeful spirit in the armor retreated quickly, but a ball of flames had already sprung up in its abdomen. Instantly, the other parts of the Black Qi vengeful spirit’s body, which was abnormally dense, madly rushed over, wrapping around the ball of fire on its abdomen.

Not long after, the flames were extinguished. However, looking through the gaps in the armor, one could see that the vengeful spirit’s body had already greatly weakened.

”Huh?”

A strange look flashed across Tang Huan’s eyes.

A normal vengeful spirit, even a blood spirit, would be incinerated at an extremely fast speed the moment it was ignited by the ”Nirvana Sacred Fire.” But facing this even more powerful armored vengeful spirit, Tang Huan didn’t think that he could destroy it with a single strike. But Tang Huan never thought that the flames would be extinguished so quickly by the armored vengeful spirit.

However, from the change in the armored vengeful spirit’s body, Tang Huan could conclude that in order to extinguish the flames, it had consumed a lot of energy.

”You can do it once or twice, but I don’t believe you can do it three or four times!” Tang Huan sneered in his heart, the spear in his hand swept towards the armored vengeful spirit, at the location of the spear, the heat waves were surging.

”Clang!”

The armored vengeful spirit waved his sword on reflex, the tip of the sword following the tip of the spear as if wanting to push it away, but under Tang Huan’s full force, the Dragon and Phoenix Spear only paused for a moment before continuing. The clanging sound of metal clashing rang out, and the armored vengeful spirit was actually swept away.

”Boom!”

The vengeful spirit’s armor heavily pounded against the walls of the cave, letting out a loud sound.

Tang Huan moved like a ray of light, quickly moving forward, his Dragon and Phoenix Lance piercing through the void as well, while dragging an ear-piercing whistle, and once again piercing towards the abdomen of the armored vengeful spirit.

”Stop! ”Stop!”

However, at this time, the armored vengeful spirit, who usually only knew how to scream, suddenly spoke in human language.

Although its voice was sharp, Tang Huan heard it clearly. This sudden change in events caused the Dragon and Phoenix Lance in Tang Huan’s hands to uncontrollably slow down, but the ball of blazing flames that came out of the spearhead continued to flicker and sway, showing no signs of extinguishing.

”Little brother, don’t act in a hurry. This old man has something to say.”

The two balls of Blood Red Odor inside the Spirit Grimoire rippled, and the sharp and gloomy voice sounded again, ”Do you want to know who this old man is?”

”Oh, who are you?”

Tang Huan raised his eyebrows, but was also quite curious in his heart.

The specters in the Sword Crafting Valley area were all formed from the souls of the Human Clan s that were slaughtered by the Demon Clan back then, so the armored specter in front of him was definitely no exception. From the strength that he had now, he should have been a powerful Ranker before he was killed, otherwise he would not have such a sword technique.

”I have a title in Demon Clan called ’Sword Soul King’.”

”...”
