Chapter 815 Sword Embryo Acquired!
Chapter 815 Sword Embryo Acquired!
Shi Hao's figure was like a golden lightning bolt, rushing into the group of ancient corpses once again.
Although the broken half of the Void Halberd in his hand was severed, it still carried a sharp edge. He swung it continuously among the corpses, shattering the ancient corpses that blocked his way.
However, Shi Hao understood that his real threat was not these ordinary ancient corpses.
Rather, it was the being wielding the Immortal Golden Sword Embryo.
The opponent's dusty gray longsword moved through the darkness like a ghost, each appearance carrying a deadly intent.
This forced him to be on guard.
"--clang!!!"
Suddenly, a strange sense of crisis came over him. Shi Hao turned to the side and dodged another sword light. Then, he took advantage of the situation and swung his halberd at the waist and abdomen of the ancient corpse holding the sword.
Unfortunately, the ancient corpse moved with astonishing speed. Its body floated backward like a falling leaf, while its long sword drew a graceful arc, aiming straight for Shi Hao's throat.
Shi Hao had no choice but to parry with his halberd. The broken halberd collided with the Immortal Gold Sword Embryo, sparking a string of sparks, but another section of the halberd in his hand was cut off.
"This can't go on any longer."
Shi Hao thought to himself.
While he was fighting the ancient corpses around him, he also devoted some of his attention to locking onto the ancient corpse holding the sword.
Although the ancient corpse's movements were stiff, its swordsmanship was extremely exquisite. Each strike was as perfect as a work of art, as if it had been a master swordsman in its lifetime.
Moreover, that immortal gold sword embryo was too sharp; his void battle halberd was as useless as rotten wood in front of the opponent.
To deal with this ancient corpse wielding a sword, Shi Hao had already opened up the unique cave and was fully prepared for defense.
A faint golden light appeared around him, like a miniature world enveloping his body.
This is one of Shi Hao's strongest techniques, known as being immune to all attacks, capable of isolating most attacks.
Even so, his grotto-heaven still appeared extremely fragile in the face of that immortal golden sword embryo.
Every time the opponent's sword light fell, the Heavenly Cave would tremble violently, as if it would shatter at any moment.
"--Bang!!!"
Another fierce clash ensued, with the ancient corpse wielding a sword thrusting forward, the tip of which precisely struck the weakest point in the cave.
The cave trembled violently, and fine cracks appeared on the light screen, almost causing it to collapse.
Shi Hao was forced back by that force, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"This guy..."
Shi Hao knew he couldn't continue playing defensively like this.
He must take the initiative, find the weakness of the ancient corpse wielding the sword, and kill it in one fell swoop.
The next moment, Shi Hao took a deep breath, and the three streams of immortal energy and three thousand streams of divine fire within his body surged simultaneously, pushing his power to its peak.
He held nothing back and directly used his strongest methods.
"The Hand of Heaven - The Reincarnation Technique!"
"Unify and merge!"
Shi Hao let out a low shout, and the runes of the three innate treasure techniques condensed in his palm, transforming into a dazzling holy light.
The light contained the full power of the three forces, like a divine punishment descending upon the world, and blasted towards the ancient corpse holding the sword.
Wherever the holy light passed, the void distorted, and the ancient corpses that were close by were sent flying by the aftershocks.
The ancient corpse wielding the sword seemed to sense the threat as well. It raised the immortal gold sword embryo in its hand and also thrust out a sword light.
The sword light was hazy gray, yet it possessed an unparalleled sharpness, as if it could cut through everything.
The two forces collided in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar.
Shi Hao was shaken and staggered backward, coughing up a mouthful of blood. But he saw that the ancient corpse holding the sword was also shaken by the aftershocks of the holy light, its body unsteady, and the immortal gold sword embryo in its hand trembled slightly.
"Now!"
Seizing the opportunity, Shi Hao flashed and appeared in front of the ancient corpse holding the sword.
He stretched out his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched, and grabbed the blade of the immortal gold sword embryo.
The sharp blade cut his palm, and blood dripped down the blade, but he did not let go; instead, he pulled hard.
"—Come here!"
Shi Hao shouted, and three streams of immortal energy surged out from his body and flowed into his right arm.
That force was like a tidal wave, forcefully snatching the Immortal Golden Sword Embryo from the hands of the ancient corpse wielding the sword.
The moment the sword embryo entered his hand, Shi Hao felt a cold and sharp power surge into his body, as if he were holding not a sword, but a piece of frozen ice.
He had no time to savor the moment; with a backhand slash, he aimed his sword at the head of the ancient corpse wielding the sword.
"--puff!!!"
The Immortal Golden Sword embryo sliced through the ancient corpse's neck as easily as cutting tofu. The withered head flew into the air and vanished in the darkness as a wisp of black smoke.
The ancient corpse holding the sword crashed to the ground, turning into a pool of ashes.
After Shi Hao seized the divine sword, he unleashed his full power.
Holding the Immortal Golden Sword Embryo, he activated his own magical technique, causing the sword to burst forth with dazzling golden light.
He turned and charged at the two ancient corpses beside him, sweeping his sword horizontally. The golden sword light slashed out like a bolt of lightning, and the heads of the two ancient corpses flew off instantly, while their bodies fell to the ground at the same time.
"—Whoa!!!"
Just as Shi Hao killed the two ancient corpses, a blood-red light suddenly shone in from the void.
It was an old lamp, illuminating the scene of his battle.
Shi Hao was startled.
But in the next moment, a mysterious flame suddenly appeared inside his body.
The flames surged from his body as if they were alive, shattering the ancient blood-red lamp.
The ancient lamp shattered, turning into specks of light that dissipated, failing to illuminate his magical technique.
Shi Hao was stunned for a moment, not knowing where the firelight came from.
But he knew that it must be one of the powers that the king had left him.
He didn't have time to think it through, because the eerie creatures below the abyss started wailing again.
The sound was even more piercing than before, as if a million vengeful ghosts were howling at the same time, carrying a power that made one's heart tremble.
In an instant, an inexplicable force emerged from the abyss, like an invisible giant hand crushing down on Shi Hao.
That power was extremely terrifying, as if it wanted to crush his body and soul together.
Shi Hao felt he was having difficulty breathing, as if his body was being crushed by a mountain, making even moving extremely difficult.
Just then, the corpse of the Blood King suddenly began to glow.
Golden light surged from his broken body, like a rising sun illuminating the entire abyss.
At the same time, a gentle power also surged from the king's corpse.
In an instant, Shi Hao felt that his injuries had lessened considerably.
The bleeding wounds began to heal slowly, and the broken bones felt itchy, as if they were being reconnected.
However, Shi Hao's own spiritual power was slowly recovering.
Although his speed wasn't fast, it was enough for him to continue fighting.
But the howls of those eerie creatures in the abyss were several times more terrifying than before.
