Yun Che had not slept all night. The jade pendant lay quietly in his palm, the blood light within the cracks completely vanished. He rubbed the scar on his wrist, recalling his father's dying roar—"Stay alive!"
In the early hours, the mist of the forbidden area surged.
Xiao Qingli leaned against an ancient tree and tossed him a bronze key. "Go to the sword tomb beneath the Cold Pool and retrieve a 'Wugou Sword.'"
"The sword tomb is protected by a barrier; any servant who enters will surely die."
"That's why you must come back alive." She snapped her fingers, releasing a stream of sword energy that sliced open Yun Che's wrist. "Use your blood to break the barrier."
As blood droplets fell to the ground, Xing Wen flickered dimly. When Yun Che turned to step into the mist, he did not see the playful smile at the corner of Xiao Qingli's lips.
"The Heavenly Gang Star Pattern... I've finally found it."
The moment Yun Che stepped into the mist of the forbidden area, a chill wrapped around him like a venomous snake. The bronze key in his hand hummed, and Xing Wen glimmered with faint light, dispersing the fog within three feet.
The stone slabs beneath his feet were etched with countless sword marks, each one seemingly screaming silently, telling tales of the unwillingness of those who buried their swords.
"Drip blood to break the barrier..." He stared at the wound on his wrist that had yet to scab over. The moment a droplet of blood rolled off onto the stone slab, the ground suddenly collapsed!
In the weightlessness of falling, Xing Wen instinctively reacted, manifesting remnants of Flowing Wind Steps. Yun Che tapped against protruding rocks on the cliff with his toes but saw countless crimson lights glowing in the abyss below—that was the guardian beasts of the sword tomb, the Crimson-eyed Sword Lizards!
The beast pack caught the scent of blood, their scales scraping against each other like clashing metal.
Yun Che twisted mid-air, and Xing Wen condensed into a blade of energy at his fingertips, slicing towards the first charging sword lizard. The moment his energy blade struck its head, a sword-shaped bone spike on the beast's forehead erupted with sword energy, causing his palm to crack!
"These beasts... have devoured Broken Sword from the sword tomb!"
Using their strength to flip himself over, Yun Che frantically calculated how to counterattack against the beasts. The tail whip of a second sword lizard swept towards him; he leaped off its tail and thrust his energy blade directly into its crimson eyes.
With a spray of blood, the beast howled as it fell into the abyss, but its pack grew even more frenzied.
"We can't get entangled!" He caught sight of flickering sword lights faintly visible at the bottom of the abyss and gritted his teeth as he allowed one sword lizard to bite into his left arm, propelling himself downward with its force.
The beast pack chased like a black tide, their fangs nearly grazing his neck from behind.
At the bottom of the abyss, a vast expanse opened up, where countless Broken Swords stood like a forest, and a Central Stone Platform cradled a shimmering white longsword. The blade was flawless but lacked an edge, its material flowing with a dark light reminiscent of Xing Wen.
"The Wugou Sword..." Yun Che pressed down on his bleeding left arm as Xing Wen suddenly trembled violently. The Broken Swords resonated, and a myriad of sword energies surged into the sky, forming a deadly formation around him.
"I see now," Xiao Qingli's voice echoed from the void. "The Wugou Sword is the core of the Sword Tomb formation. To take the sword, you must break the Ten Thousand Swords Exorcism Formation—if you die here, Xing Wen will belong to me."
Yun Che sneered, and with killing intent boiling within him, Xing Wen responded, "Then let me show you what it means to 'exorcise evil'!"
The first wave of sword energy struck, and Yun Che met it head-on with Nine Thunderclaps. The sound of his punch exploded seven times as the sword energy shattered, but the recoil forced him to stagger backward.
Xing Wen roamed beneath his skin, devouring the dissipating sword energy and transforming it into spiritual power to mend his injuries.
"Devouring sword energy?" A glint flashed in his eyes as he decided to abandon defense and allowed the sword energy to pierce through him.
Xing Wen opened wide like a glutton, swallowing ten streams of sword energy before suddenly undergoing a transformation, coalescing into illusory Sword Wings behind him.
"Break for me!"
The Sword Wings swept across, reversing a hundred streams of sword energy. Yun Che leaped onto the Broken Sword and soared toward the stone platform. The moment his fingertips brushed against the hilt of the Wugou Sword, the entire Sword Tomb trembled violently.
The Ten Thousand Swords fell silent, yet the Wugou Sword emitted a clear dragon's roar, its blade revealing blood-colored Xing Wen—matching perfectly with the patterns in Yun Che's palm!
