At that, Jared pointed his Dragonslayer Sword at the sky. A green ray of light shot out of the sword-that was the sword spirit of Dragonslayer Sword.
The green ray shot toward the demonic sword and began hovering above it. In the next second, black energy flashed from the demonic sword.
Upon seeing the black energy, Jared curled his lips. That was the demonic sword’s sword spirit, and in no time, the ray of green and black tangled together.
However, the demonic sword was powerful. Even though the Dragonslayer Sword was an ancient spiritual sword, it had yet to fully mature. Thus, it could not utilize its full potential and could not gain an upper hand against the sword spirit of the demonic sword.
Nevertheless, Jared did not panic. A glint flashed past his eyes, and he shot toward the demonic sword to grab it before standing still on the large rock.
Clink! Jared flicked his finger on the demonic sword, and it let out a crystalline ring before breaking in half. A demonic sword without a sword spirit was no stronger than a normal sword.
After the blade of the demonic sword broke, the black energy, which had been winning in the battle against the green ray, turned visibly dimmer. The Dragonslayer Sword’s sword spirit took the opportunity to devour its foe’s sword spirit.
The green ray kept growing and growing, and the sword energy in the tomb of swords was swiftly absorbed into it.
Then, plants began growing on the barren land, and the tomb of swords disappeared. The Dragonslayer Sword had reached the level of a sacred martial arts relic, and that excited Jared,
Meanwhile, the elderly man, who was standing. a distance away, was dumbfounded after witnessing the scene. He never thought that Jared would so easily deal with the demonic sword they had used their lives to seal away for hundreds of years.
The elderly man sighed. Keeping away his Dragonslayer Sword, Jared then walked over to him and asked, “Who are you?” The elderly man slowly rose to his feet and said with a look of relief, “I am Engarder Sect’s leader.”
“Who was the one in the black cape earlier?” Jared was astounded by how identical the two people had looked.
“That was me as well,” the elderly man. confessed. Jared was even more confused at that. At the sight of Jared’s puzzlement, the leader of Engarder Sect started explaining the situation to Jared.
As it turned out, the figure in the black cape was the manifestation of the elderly man’s inner demon, and that inner demon of his had controlled the demonic sword.
As it turned out, the sword used to be called Outland Blade, for it supposedly came from the sky and landed at Engarder Sect’s grounds.
All these years, Engarder Sect had been protecting the sword, and many people had. found inspiration for sword techniques from it.
However, when it was time for the elderly man to rule, he got greedy. He wanted the sword all to himself. Hence, he persuaded the Grand Elders to pull the sword out from the ground.
After that, the few of them began researching it, but they were so engrossed in it that they ended up letting their inner demons control the sword.
Instantly, the Outland Blade started a massacre in Engarder Sect. The entire place was colored with blood, and bodies were strewn everywhere.
Near the end, the leader of the Engarder Sect and the fellow elders snapped back to their senses. They then used all of Engarder Sect’s sword arrays, as well as their lives, to seal the sword there.
Many people ended up coming to the area as time passed by, but they could never actually enter the grounds..
Yet, the sword array and the spirits they used to seal the Outland Blade were getting weaker and weaker. They did not know when the sword would escape, bringing catastrophe to the others.
If that were to happen, their sins would worsen. Jared, who had appeared out of nowhere, had let them see a flame of hope. That was why the previous elderly man was talking about atonement to Jared.
