Chapter 133: The Evil Sword

  Li Xie's attention stayed on the magic crystal for a moment, then he began to look at other things. He could only choose one treasure, so Li Xie decided to find something suitable for himself. Unless there was nothing suitable here, Li Xie would consider choosing another gift for someone else.

  "Windproof cloak, made from the skin of the ancient demonic boar, immune to all magical damage. Hmm... an equipment that ignores all magic, what a pity, I'm already high-level and can also be immune to magic damage, so it's useless."

  "Dragon Scale Sword, made from the inverted scales of a sacred giant dragon, ignores martial arts magic defense! Wow, this sword is even more awesome than the Reclining Sword! It's quite suitable for me! Let me take a look first."

  "Overlord's Blazing Gun, the masterpiece of Dwarf Master Rurubiert, deals Sacred Flame damage during attacks! With Sword Saint wielding it, isn't that both Magic and Dou Qi cultivation? Can give it to Jack! Ah, why can only choose one treasure?"

  Li Xie looked at each piece of equipment one by one, wanting every single one, but always feeling that it wasn't the most suitable for himself. Among the hundreds of treasures in Zhen Bao Ge, there were only three pieces left that he hadn't examined yet.

  "Evil Sword?"

  The third treasure from the end was a knife that Li Xie saw.

  This knife has a handle covered in black scales, and at the end is a ferocious beast head, with a fist-sized red crystal stone clenched in its mouth. The blade is transparent, bright red like blood, as if it were forged from crystal, or condensed from solidified blood!

  The dagger itself looked nothing out of the ordinary, it was just its name that had attracted Li Xie.

  It was only when Li Xie's gaze fell on this knife that he had a strange feeling, a special temptation that made Li Xie seem to see blood. This feeling made Li Xie more concerned about the knife.

  "Evil sword, discovered in ancient ruins, unknown who created it, can trigger an unclear aura; devouring the fresh blood of living beings can enhance the power of the aura. The blade can cut through gold and iron, the aura can dispel magic and Dou Qi, making it a treasure among swords. Alas, this sword is a king-slayer, anyone who uses it will have their life force constantly depleted, and within three years, their life force will be exhausted and they will die, hence it's called an evil sword!"

  "Bloodthirsty enhancement of knife aura? How strong is the knife aura? Regicide? Consuming one's vitality? It seems..."

  Li Xie didn't continue speaking because there were some things he couldn't say in front of Hai Huang.

  And what he meant was that he had endless vitality.

  The vital energy can be understood as the life energy, and when the life energy is exhausted, a person dies. The human vital energy is limited, even if it is constantly cultivated, there will be an upper limit, just like what Hai Huang said, even if one becomes a demigod, they are still a mortal, and their life still has a natural end.

  And the vitality of vampires is blood energy. The reason why vampires have endless life is that they can constantly replenish their vitality, making it inexhaustible.

  This knife, if it were to devour the master's vitality, would be equivalent to devouring blood energy for a vampire. For Li Xie, however, blood energy is constantly being consumed and replenished, even when using his own vampire skills, which also consume blood energy. In that case, this evil knife has no concept of "killing its master" for Li Xie.

  This made Li Xie feel that this knife was tailor-made for him, but he still had to see the power of the evil knife's aura!

  As soon as his hand grasped the hilt, his mind was shaken, it was a feeling of bone and flesh being connected, the evil sword seemed to merge with Li Xie's hand in an instant, becoming an extension of his hand.

  Was it in ancient times that there were vampires? Was this evil sword forged by a vampire?

  This is how Li Xie feels when he grips the hilt of his sword!

  The evil sword seemed to have a spiritual nature, like a lost pet finally meeting its master. The blade kept trembling, as if expressing its excitement and joy beforehand.

  There was only a humming sound, the red light on the blade surged greatly, and the 1.5-meter-long blade extended another half meter. The extended segment was a blood-red, faintly visible blade edge! What was originally a pit just right for storing the evil sword suddenly had a piece of rock scraped off by the blade edge.

  Li's eyes stared intently, his expression slightly surprised.

  As expected, there were vampires in ancient times! Even if they weren't vampires, they were masters who used blood energy just like him. The blade of this sword was extended by blood energy, which was Li Xie's blood energy.

  Although it was just a tiny bit of blood that activated the knife's edge, its destructive power seemed to be quite good, at least it cut off a piece of stone in an instant.

  The sound of the evil sword finally caught the attention of the Sea Emperor, who was concentrating his spirit. The Sea Emperor turned around, his voice filled with surprise: "You chose this sword? You must have seen the description of the evil sword!"

  Li Xie held the evil knife in his hand, made a few gestures, and became more and more familiar with it. It was as if his arm had been extended, and in just a short while, he could control it at will, like an extension of his own arm. Even the sharp blade emitted by the evil knife itself was completely retracted under Li Xie's mental command.

  "It's settled!" The true power of the Evil Blade, Li Xie was not yet clear, but he had a feeling that this knife was tailor-made for him, and it might be hiding a secret about the ancient era's use of blood energy! Although it wasn't the best item in the treasure trove, Li Xie decided to choose the Evil Blade, perhaps one day he could unlock the secrets of the ancient era's blood energy and gain unexpected rewards.

  Hai Huang shook his head: "Using this knife, even if it's me, I'll definitely die within three years. If you insist on using it, I won't stop you, but I hope that when your life is about to be extinguished, you can come and try the Divine Pattern."

  Li Xie cupped his hands: "Thank you, Emperor Haiyuan, for your candor. I feel a connection to this sword. If the vital energy is about to be severed within three years, I will definitely come to test my skills!"

  The Sea Emperor nodded slightly and turned around again to look at the divine shell sent by the Martial Emperor, as if that divine shell had some kind of temptation, attracting the Sea Emperor's constant gaze.

  Li Ye obtained the evil sword and was overjoyed, but his host didn't even acknowledge him. As a guest, he continued to stay, but it was also boring, so he bid farewell with clasped hands, yet Hai Huang still ignored him.

  Li Xie didn't mind, and he walked out of the Treasure Pavilion. He was thinking of relying on his memory to walk out, but before he took two steps, a servant who had summoned Li Xie to enter the Hai Huang Palace came over: "Does Duke Xie have any instructions?"

  "Trouble sending me back, okay?" Li Xie felt that staying in the Hai Huang Palace was pointless, after all, to collect Hai Huang, it seemed that there needed to be some interaction with him, but Hai Huang only stared at Shen Ge, and Li Xie himself felt superfluous, so it's better to go back.

  The servant knew he wouldn't be able to persuade him, so he walked ahead, leading Li Xie towards the crystal path of the Hai Huang Palace.

  At the end of the crystal path, the servant blew a whistle, and in less than a moment, a demon beast swam over.

  This is a ten-meter-long black manta ray, with a round body and a three-meter-long arrow-shaped tail, crab-like eyes protruding from the water surface, and two square areas on its back also exposed above the water surface.

  Several bubbles emerged from under the head of the manta ray and burst open, making a sound: "Black Manta pays respects to the Sea Emperor's palace master."

  These words shocked Li Xie, this seemingly ordinary servant was actually the manager of Hai Huang Palace.

  "My servant still looked humble and said faintly: 'This is Duke Ye, would you mind sending him on his way.'"

  "Of course. Duke Xie, please come up."

  Li Xie bowed and jumped onto the back of the black fin, which flapped its body edges and swam away from the Sea Emperor's Palace.

  "Excuse me, where is Duke Ye going?"

  Li Xie thought for a moment and said: "Do you know White Elephant Island?"

  "I know."

  "Then take me there."

  Shenwei Mercenary Group said that there might be ancient ruins on White Elephant Island. Li Xie looked at the Hai Huang Palace group, and it wouldn't take much time, so he decided to go to White Elephant Island to see what's going on, and if they're lucky, they might gain something from the ancient ruins.

  Bai Xiang Island is located hundreds of miles west of Hai Huang Palace, with an area of approximately three square kilometers. The shape of Bai Xiang Island resembles a cone protruding from the water surface by 300 meters, and it has been cut in half. This cliff face, which was split like a knife, is composed of white limestone, and because of its white appearance, it looks like a large elephant drinking water in the sea, hence the name Bai Xiang Island.

  The island is filled with an ominous and murderous aura!

  The four members of the Divine Mercenary Group sprinted at high speed towards the highest point on White Elephant Island, with dozens of mercenaries shouting and chasing after them from behind.

  "Leave everything behind!" Moscow yelled from the rear, brandishing his knife with a ferocious expression.

  " What's going on?! There's nothing in the cave, those ruins have already been cleaned out, our Divine Majesty Mercenary Corps didn't get anything!"

  "Are you kidding me? You're the first ones to enter the ruins, and when we get in, there's nothing left. Are you saying it wasn't you who took everything?"

  "Fart!" Lala said angrily: "Can't someone have gotten there first?"

  "Hmph! No use talking more, either you leave the Space Ring behind or we'll take it ourselves!"

  "Are you going to stay or leave?" Kidd's expression was serious, looking ahead and saying in a low voice: "There is a cliff ahead, Captain, let's not do it!"

  Several people were forced to flee, but they ran to the top of White Elephant Island and continued on. There was a steep cliff with a 300-meter-high precipice, and below it was a turbulent wave, sharp reefs, and jumping down would inevitably lead to a crushing defeat.

  "Come on!" Oster just didn't want a meaningless fight with casualties, but now he was forced to the end of the road and could only make a desperate last-ditch effort.

  The four members of the Divine Might Mercenary Group stopped, and the more than thirty mercenaries who were chasing them surrounded them in a fan shape. They did not immediately attack, only because they still feared the strength of the Divine Might Mercenary Group.

  "Hand over the Space Ring! Everyone will be safe!" Moscow said coldly.

  "Austin snorted: 'Joke! What right do you have to ask me to hand over the space ring? Otherwise, hand over all your belongings and I'll hand over the space ring immediately!'"

  Moscow sneered coldly: "You guys are quite capable, but you're still not a match for our thirty or so people. Why bother struggling in vain? Just hand over the space ring, we just need to take a look, if there's really nothing left of the relic inside, we can still be friends!"

  Ou Zhi sneered coldly: "How do you know what's inside the ruins? You say that everything in my spatial ring is from the ruins, but what can we say about that?"

  With a long knife in hand, his whole body was filled with vigor: "Stop wasting words on them!"

  "Good!" Oster growled: "No mercy!"

  After finishing, he didn't wait for the thirty or so people to attack, and instead charged towards the crowd with his large sword. Bait followed closely behind, using Oster's figure as cover, the cold light of the long sword in his hand flashing on and off from behind Oster.

  On the other side, Moscow shouted: "Hold them back, kill those two mages first!"
