CHAPTER 343: The Sword Blade Returns to Its Place!
Inside Chu Yang's dantian, the sword tip and sword edge both stirred up! A ghostly head kept popping out to peek, while another was happily tumbling inside Chu Yang's dantian, excitement evident.
Chu Yang walked over gently and reached out towards the broken sword segment.
As soon as his hand stretched out, the broken sword jumped into his palm. It flashed twice, seemingly greeting Chu Yang, and perhaps even winking cheerfully.
Then it vanished without a trace!
It inexplicably disappeared from the palm of Chu Yang’s hand, like snowflakes melting upon encountering high temperatures.
Meanwhile, Chu Yang's dantian was already tumultuous.
This newly arrived segment was joyfully reuniting with the sword tip and sword edge, and Chu Yang could clearly feel the elation.
After a considerable amount of commotion, it slowly fused into the dantian, becoming one with the sword tip and sword edge!
A soft white light emanated from Chu Yang's dantian, then gradually faded. By the time it completely disappeared, the three segments had fused into one, seamless.
The blade of the Nine Calamity Sword!
In terms of the sword's body, there was a front and a back, like a monarch and his ministers.
The front half was the edge; the back half was the blade!
The sword tip, sword edge, and sword blade were all primarily for killing! With these three crucial parts assembled, the greatest killing power was already at hand!
“The sword blade is the latter half of the sword's body. It is relatively the weakest part of the sword and the most prone to breaking. The common attacking methods are slicing, flicking, lifting, sealing, and horizontal strikes... Technique is key, with strength as a supplement...”
In Chu Yang’s consciousness, the Sword Spirit began to sing softly.
Chu Yang seemed to understand something, yet also felt confused; suddenly, a wave of bewilderment washed over him. The next moment, his head felt heavy and light, a sharp pain pierced through his mind, ceaselessly; it felt as if his head was about to split open! Unable to contain himself, he wrapped his hands around his head and howled towards the sky!
A stream of air surged from his mouth, causing the water above to ripple wildly.
“Pain... I must endure it! This is the most challenging moment of recognizing the Nine Calamity Sword as its master, the most arduous time. Because the three segments you collected are primarily for killing! From today on, the entire Nine Heavens will be filled with slaughter!”
The Sword Spirit continued softly: “And from today, the Nine Calamity Sword will traverse the world of blood and gore, the souls under the sword will never reincarnate, and not a single drop of blood shall flow again under its blade!”
“In other words, starting today, the Nine Calamity Sword will gain an additional function, serving as a means for the Nine Calamity Sword to repair itself and a benefit for its master! That is… devouring the power of living beings!”
“This is the power of demons! It is also the end of the cycle in this world...”
The Sword Spirit's voice suddenly stopped; but Chu Yang finally understood the source of the pain! He gritted his teeth tightly, coldly snorted, and through clenched teeth said: “Is there any pain in this world that I, Chu Yang, cannot endure? What a real joke!”
As he spoke, he let out a ferocious roar towards the sky: “Come on! Let's see whether you will kill me with pain, or I will conquer you! Hahaha…”
The pain in his mind surged wave after wave, like ocean tides, seemingly endless, each wave higher than the last; his flesh and blood felt as if it were being sliced away simultaneously, and his meridians felt like they were breaking apart at the same time; yet the feeling of pain was artificially amplified a hundredfold!
This kind of suffering was more brutal than any punishment in the world! It was unbearable!
But since Chu Yang yelled that one line, he had not let out another sound! He gritted his teeth and held on; the temples on his forehead were almost ready to burst, and his eyes seemed like they were about to pop out! Even the skin at the corners of his eyes gradually tore, oozing a few drops of fresh blood...
