Chapter 134: The Flying Sword Is Formed

The hall was very quiet at this time. Only a dark gold Flying Sword hovered in the air. Invisible Sword Qi appeared around the Flying Sword, distorting the agitated air, making it look intimidating.

“Haha, what a great treasure!” Xu Feng laughed heartily. His Life-Bound Flying Sword was formed. While nurturing the Flying Sword, his body and soul also received feedback from the sword. His body and soul became as hard as steel, and his strength increased greatly.

“Flying Sword, return!”

Xu Feng waved his left hand. Following his thought, the Flying Sword twisted in the air like a fish, drew an arc, and drilled into Xu Feng’s body.

After circling once inside Xu Feng’s body, the Flying Sword came out from his right hand, turning into a dark gold three-foot-long sword, resting against Xu Feng’s palm.

Clang~

The dark gold Flying Sword swung lightly, knocking away another long sword, and took over Xu Feng’s entire right palm.

Xu Feng smiled bitterly and put away his original Gold Quality long sword to use as a backup. This Spirit Hymn hadn’t killed a single monster since he obtained it, and now it was shelved as a spare weapon.

The Flying Sword started to change after absorbing the Heavenly Crystal Ore, and finally finished Forging after absorbing the dark gold halberd. It sounded like a long process, but actually only took a few minutes.

Looking at the Dark Gold Quality Flying Sword in his hand, a feeling of deep connection arose naturally.

Swinging the long sword felt very natural, like using his own arm and fingers. But trying to control the Flying Sword as a hidden weapon for attack like before was now somewhat difficult.

Previously, he could control the Sword Embryo to fly freely within ten meters around him. Beyond ten meters, although the Sword Element True Qi consumption increased greatly, he could still control it easily.

But now, controlling this fully forged Flying Sword, it could only fly within three meters around him. Once it went beyond three meters, the Sword Element True Qi drained away as if a floodgate opened, scaring Xu Feng so much that he immediately stopped the attempt.

“Right now, I control the Flying Sword just by relying on the mental connection between me and the sword, simply swinging it using Sword Element True Qi. This is at most object control, it can’t be considered true sword flight,” Xu Feng thought to himself.

“To truly fly the sword, to achieve beheading someone from a thousand miles away like in the legends, I must know the sword flight skill. But where can I get such a Skill Card?” Xu Feng felt anticipation, mixed with a faint desire.

After playing with the Flying Sword for a while, he glanced at the staircase leading to the second floor and frowned.

Li Jin just went up to explore, why hasn’t he come down yet?

Xu Feng walked towards the staircase. Just as he was about to step onto the stairs, suddenly a black shadow tumbled down.

Thump, thump, thump~

Xu Feng’s heart tightened. He dodged to the side and looked at the black shadow. It was actually a head.

Xu Feng’s pupils dilated sharply. The hairs on his body stood on end. A chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the back of his head.

“Li Jin!”

The head rolled down the stairs, spun twice on the ground, and stopped. The face was that of Li Jin, the Thief who had just gone invisible to scout the second floor.

Looking into Li Jin’s dead, unclosed eyes, what showed wasn’t fear, but confusion. Xu Feng’s palms sweated as he tightly gripped his Flying Sword. Uncontrollable doubt rose in his heart.

“What exactly happened on the second floor that made Li Jin die without even realizing it?”

Xu Feng pondered for a moment, then a determined look appeared in his eyes. Whether it was to find out the cause of his teammate Li Jin’s death, the rescue mission he accepted, or to change the fate of the Village of Sacrifice’s Guardian Beast, the Flood Dragon, Xu Feng had to go to the second floor and kill Baron Sara, the Three-Star Lord Rank Undead Creature of the Death Fortress.

“I can die, but I cannot retreat,” Xu Feng thought firmly. “Without a sword heart that clears all obstacles and presses forward courageously, how can I temper a Life-Bound Flying Sword that shocks demons and gods alike, and makes all deities avoid it?”

Xu Feng resolutely walked upward, following the spiral staircase into an area of shadow.

“Anyway, I’m someone who has already died once. Death isn’t a very terrifying thing for me,” Xu Feng laughed inwardly.

Xu Feng walked slowly, but his steps were firm.

Reaching the end of the staircase, Xu Feng’s vision suddenly brightened. The dazzling light made it hard for him to open his eyes. He only felt as if he had arrived in a place full of warmth and sunlight.

“Why did you still come up? Couldn’t your companion’s death give you any warning?” a gentle female voice sounded by his ear.

Xu Feng couldn’t see anything. It turned out that extreme brightness was no different from extreme darkness.

“Go back. Turn around and go down, and you will live. Why die here and end up like your companion?” The voice sounded like that of a woman in her thirties or forties, kind and amiable. Listening to the voice, Xu Feng could almost picture a benevolent woman’s face in his mind.

The hesitation and desire to retreat in Xu Feng’s heart had been cut off by his own sword heart the moment he started climbing the stairs. How could they be shaken by mere words?

“No…” Xu Feng shook his head, ready to refuse. Suddenly, he felt a great threat approaching, as if a fierce beast with a gaping mouth was pouncing straight at him.

Swish, swish~

Two black blades of light slashed towards his neck. They were so fast they left afterimages on Xu Feng’s retina, giving him no time to react.

Boom~

The first black blade of light hit Xu Feng’s neck but was blocked by a golden light. The black blade shattered, turning into a burst of brilliant Flamefire.

Then, the second blade of light repeated the process of the first one, crashing against the golden screen.

Xu Feng’s body shook violently. His vision blurred, and he found himself standing in a study.

This study was large, even bigger than the space of the first floor hall.

Xu Feng, still feeling scared, touched his neck. He could still feel a slight chill.

In his Status Bar, the number of times the Angel’s Blessing could immune fatal damage was now only one left.

Now he finally understood how Li Jin died. Without touching the angel statue and obtaining the Angel’s Blessing, anyone approaching the top of the stairs would fall into an illusion and be directly killed by the two black blades of light.

Xu Feng took a deep breath and carefully observed the second-floor study. The left side of the study had a whole wall of bookshelves, filled to the brim with large, heavy books.

In front of the bookshelf was a wide desk with an oil lamp and a pen holder on it.

Opposite the bookshelf, taking up almost half the study space, was actually…

“An Altar?” Xu Feng was startled.

It was another Altar, almost identical to the central Altar in the Village of Sacrifice, but it seemed only mostly completed, not fully built.

Thinking of the Undead Creatures of the Death Fortress, Xu Feng’s heart tightened. The master of this Ancient Castle, Baron Sara, actually wanted to build a channel to communicate with the undead planet’s different dimension, to completely conquer Earth.

Xu Feng’s gaze turned sharp. This was a racial war with no right or wrong, only survival.
