Chapter Thirty-Four: Shattered Sword Technique

  "What a pity!" Lin Wu sighed to himself.

  The final and most powerful slash was blocked, otherwise it would have at least severely injured the black-robed man. However, these two blows also caused injuries to the black-robed man.

  The man in black felt Lin Wu's sudden surge in power and was shocked, even a thought of defeat flashed through his mind.

  But for that reward from the Vatican, the black-robed man decided to take a gamble, if he won, he would live a carefree life, but if he lost, he would lose his life.

  Thinking of this, the black-clothed man didn't hesitate, took out a scroll from his bosom and crushed it fiercely. With the shattering of the scroll, countless blood lights surged towards the black-clothed man, making his breath infinitely close to the Great Swordsman. However, the gap between the Great Swordsman and the High-level Swordsman was not something that could be bridged with just a single scroll.

  However, after using the scroll that emitted a bloody glow, the black-clothed man's aura changed from white to blood-red. "Bloodthirsty Technique?" Lin Wu secretly warned himself, the black-clothed man's appearance was very similar to the Bloodthirsty Technique of the Beast Clan in the alien tribe.

  "Boy, next year's today will be your unlucky day." The man in black said as he transformed into a bloody shadow and rushed towards Lin Wu.

  "Hmph, who lives and dies is still uncertain." Lin Wu swung his sword towards the Blood Light.

  "Ding!"

  Two swords clashed, one was a mid-level swordsman who had unsealed the power of gods and ghosts, while the other was a high-level swordsman at his peak who had cast the Bloodthirsty Technique. For a time, they were evenly matched, but both knew that whether it was the power of gods and ghosts or the Bloodthirsty Technique, neither could be used for long periods of time, otherwise the aftereffects would be fatal.

  So the two men launched a series of swift attacks, but because Lin Wu was always standing within the range of Kazan's spell array, he gained an advantage in terms of strength and spiritual power.

  The man in black knew that although he wasn't sure what was going on, the other party's endurance would surpass his own. "Can't drag it out any longer." Feeling the effectiveness of the Bloodthirsty Technique gradually fading away, the man in black knew he couldn't delay any further. Otherwise, once the effects of the Bloodthirsty Technique wore off, he would temporarily become a person with no ability to resist.

  Lin Wu also felt that the divine power of the gods in his body began to affect his mind, but this made Lin Wu's combat strength stronger and stronger.

  "Ding." After another exchange of blows, the man in black retreated several steps with great force.

  After seeing the man in black, Lin Wu didn't dare to chase him out recklessly. He had to stand within the range of the Soul Blade Kazan's spell formation and rely on the power of the spell formation to counter this man in black.

  The man in black held his long sword horizontally in front of his chest, his face solemn. He was about to unleash a mid-to-low level martial skill, one that he had obtained after killing someone during a mission. For him, who had not yet become a great swordsman, this mid-to-low level martial skill was a huge burden. If it weren't for the support of the Bloodlust Technique, he wouldn't have been able to release it at all.

  "Whoosh." The man in black slashed his long sword across his chest, and fresh blood instantly stained the blade.

  Faced with Hei Yiren's self-mutilation, Lin Wu was on high alert. This kind of self-mutilating technique usually wouldn't have a small impact, and Lin Wu had to be careful in dealing with it.

  The power of the gods and ghosts slowly flowed into the long sword from his right hand, and the blue long sword temporarily turned into a dark black hole. In addition to the skill level, Lin Wu's strength was also an important indicator of the skill's power.

  The Ghost Slash skill was greatly enhanced after Lin Wu entered the intermediate swordsman level and could channel his fighting energy into his weapon. After all, the Ghost Slash skill itself required channeling the power of gods and ghosts into the weapon, and although Lin Wu could still do it as a primary swordsman with the help of the powerful divine energy, its power would be somewhat weakened.

  Now that Lin Wu has entered the intermediate swordsman level, after his fighting energy can be smoothly guided into his weapon, the power of Ghost Slasher is also fully released.

  Just as Lin Wu was accumulating the power of the gods, the black-clothed man's long sword, which was stained with fresh blood, began to tremble slightly. The black-clothed man pointed his sword at Lin Wu and suddenly thrust it straight at him.

  Just as the black-clad man's long sword was 1 meter away from Lin Wu, the black-clad man suddenly whispered: "Shattered Sword Technique."

  As soon as the man in black spoke, the long sword that was originally trembling slightly suddenly burst into countless fragments and shot towards Lin Wu who was just a foot away.

  Lin Wu, who had long been on high alert, was also shocked by the black-clad man's move. This move was clearly a desperate and ruthless technique that left no room for retreat.

  Lin Wu saw this and fiercely swung out his long sword, with a divine and ghostly power, the long sword drew a black shadow striking towards the man in black.

  "Oni Kiru!!"

  "Hmph!!"

  The black-clad man's shattered sword struck Lin Wu, while Lin Wu's Ghost Slasher also hit the black-clad man, both were injured!!

  However, Lin Wu's face showed a smile. The black-clothed man saw the medicine in Lin Wu's hand and his face turned pale. He had forgotten that the other party had medicine that could recover from injuries. But even if he knew, what else could he do in this situation?

  Feeling the dark, cold energy inside his body, constantly destroying his vitality, the black-clothed man fell to the ground with a sense of unwillingness. The power of the gods and ghosts came from the energy of the gods and ghosts, although it couldn't be compared to the divine power possessed by the true gods and ghosts, but compared to the so-called aura, it was fundamentally two different levels of existence. Therefore, once invaded by the power of the gods and ghosts, the aura could hardly resist.

  Seeing the black-clad man fall, Lin Wu hastily sealed his Ghost Hand and took out several bottles of Life Medicine to pour into his mouth. He then gritted his teeth and pulled out the shattered sword fragments that had pierced his body. At this moment, Lin Wu was desperately wishing for a bottle of anesthetic; extracting these shards from his own flesh felt no different from being subjected to lingchi.

  However, if he didn't take it, Lin Wu knew that his own life would also be in danger. To survive, he could only endure. Fortunately, with the Life Medicine, as long as he wasn't killed instantly, there wouldn't be too much danger.

  Looking at the fragments that were only a few millimeters away from being fatal, Lin Wu felt a wave of fear in his heart, "Almost got done for."

  Finally, under the strong desire to survive, Lin Wu gritted his teeth and took out all the fragments. After that, it was simple - he poured in a few bottles of life medicine, and Lin Wu immediately sprang back to life.

  Lin Wu also had a deep understanding of this life potion from the game at this moment, it was absolutely a lifesaving divine object.

  After treating his wounds, Lin Wu came to the body of the man in black, searched him for a while, and found a small bag and a scroll on him.

  That scroll is a mid-grade lower-tier martial skill, Fragmented Sword Technique. It's obviously the move that black-clothed person used just now, "Mid-grade martial skill!!" Lin Wu was overjoyed, this thing is definitely a good item, and its value is not low.

  In that bag, Lin Wu fished out several gold coins and a few magic cores. One of them was a blue magic core the size of a ping-pong ball that caught Lin Wu's attention.

  "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, it turns out that getting rich from the wealth of a dead person is indeed the easiest way to get wealthy. A 4th-level magic core, and it's even a water-based one." Lin Wu exclaimed in surprise.

  A mid-level martial skill, a 4th-grade water-elemental magic core, worth at least tens of thousands of gold coins. "Looks like this black-robed man's status in the Tulip family isn't low." Lin Wu said, dragging the corpse to a secluded spot and disposing of it without a trace.
