After devouring the sword spirit, Jared believed that the strength of the Dragonslayer Sword would improve to a higher level.
As Jared took a deep breath, streaks of golden light emitted from his body. Meanwhile, the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand began glowing as well. In an instant, the sword was shrouded by green light.
Jared shot a taunting look at the woman, who was getting closer and closer. Her eyes were cold, without a hint of emotions. Still gripping the Skycutter Sword, she swung it at Jared with tremendous force.
The terrifying sword energy, along with the devastating aura of the sword, came straight for Jared’s Dragonslayer Sword.
Flaxseed, who was standing on the side, looked on in astonishment. A look of worry manifested on his face as his breathing turned laborious.
He did not expect that a spirit could release such great power. If this woman wasn’t a spirit, wouldn’t her strength be even more frightening?
Boom! With a downward motion, the Skycutter Sword collided with the Dragonslayer Sword heavily. The entire tomb of swords shook due to the colossal impact of the clash of swords.
There were no sparks as the blades collided. Instead, the two rays of sword energy-one green and another white-wound around each other and shot into the sky like two gigantic serpents fighting.
Flaxseed tilted his head and looked up in disbelief. He had never witnessed such a sight before. I can’t believe that sword energies can fight against each other!
In fact, those were not sword energy, but sword spirits fighting in the air. Like a vast lamp, the green ray illuminated the tomb of swords at that moment.
On the other hand, the white ray was desperately trying to overshadow the green ray’s radiance. Nevertheless, the white ray looked insignificant under the green light. Moreover, it was gradually being devoured.
“H-How is this possible?” The woman gaped at the scene unfolding before her eyes in shock.
Soon, the white ray disappeared. In contrast, the green one was glowing even more brilliantly. As the Dragonslayer Sword returned. to Jared’s hand, a flash of sword energy burst out from the loudly buzzing sword.
The ferocious sword energy instantly left a fearsome slash across the ground of the tomb of swords. It started underneath Jared and moved toward the woman. Shuddering in fear, she hurriedly retreated before leaping up into the sky.
The furrow stretched for dozens of meters, leaving a deep crack in the ground. The powerful sword energy shattered the ground. into halves as ridges appeared on both sides. It was a frightening sight to behold.
The fight was clearly settled with a single strike. After losing the challenge, the woman looked at her Skycutter Sword. The weapon had long lost its luster. It was like a piece of scrap metal now, without a trace of spiritual energy left.
The woman was stunned. She tried to infuse spiritual energy into the Skycutter Sword in a bid to restore it to life and summon the sword spirit. Alas, no matter how hard she tried, there was no response from her weapon.
Without the sword spirit, the Skycutter Sword was just a hunk of metal inferior to a magic sword. It was a spiritual sword created by the sword master of the Engarder Sect. Unfortunately, it had been reduced to scrap metal.
Looking at the woman, Jared probed flatly, “Do you still want to continue?” Looking impassive, the woman casually tossed the Skycutter Sword to the ground. Then, she shook her head.
Jared did not want to destroy her completely. so he exclaimed, “Since you’re defeated, you should let us enter the tomb. I’m here to see the sacred sword!”
Unexpectedly, the woman let out a bitter chuckle. “Ha! That’s not a sacred sword. Instead, it’s a vicious demonic sword that annihilated our entire Engarder Sect!”
She continued to explain, “Our lord gathered all the elders of the Engarder Sect and used all our spiritual swords. Only then were we able to subdue that demonic sword in this place.
The clan members who died have turned into sword marionettes after absorbing the sword energy in the tomb of swords after so many years. I haven’t dared to enter that place once in the last hundred years! If you insist on going in, you won’t be coming out there alive…”
