Chapter 1305: Chapter 1305: Sword of Hell
Regarding the matter of Pendleton, Julius Reed could hardly remember clearly.
Yet one thing he did distinctly recall.
That year when Devlin sought refuge with him in exchange for immortality, he never mentioned the Hell’s Sword.
And indeed, this sword had not appeared for several hundred years.
Coincidentally, Granny Xihua had never mentioned it either.
Julius Reed was skeptical about the existence of a token for the Vein Holder.
He wouldn’t easily trust Nathanael Warm’s words, nor was he arrogant enough to believe it was false.
He needed time.
But for now, he might as well get his hands on the Hell’s Sword first!
A sword thrust, swift as lightning.
Nathanael Warm also drew his sword!
As a Swordsman, Nathanael Warm’s strength skyrocketed after being Possessed!
Clang!
The two swords clashed in midair.
Both took a step back, eyeing their opponent coldly.
"You’re not keeping your word," Nathanael Warm spoke with a hint of annoyance.
A person of such strength still playing rogue?
Unbelievable!
He thought that masters cared greatly about their reputation.
"In any case, you’re a dead man; does it matter whether I speak or not?" Julius Reed held his sword in one hand, its tip pointed at Nathanael Warm: "After your death, I’ll naturally speak of it."
He must get the Hell’s Sword!
Nathanael Warm must die!
"Hu!"
Julius Reed took a deep breath, and the Dragon King Ring suddenly burst into dazzling purple light!
Red turning to purple!
Out of it, Evil Qi surged forth!
In an instant, black smoke swirled around Julius Reed!
"You..." Nathanael Warm was stunned.
The sudden change caught him off guard.
This black smoke, how similar was it to the one on his own sword?
"No matter what, take my sword first!" He strode forward, his Hell’s Sword slashing through the air!
Facing the fierce strike, Julius Reed tossed aside the fine steel sword in hand, attempting to catch it barehanded!
"Arrogant!"
Nathanael Warm exerted his strength fiercely!
Dare to catch a blade with bare hands?
But the scene he imagined of his adversary’s arm being chopped off did not occur.
The Hell’s Sword was indeed held firmly in Julius Reed’s hand!
The sharp blade, with its towering Evil Qi, was seemingly frozen in place!
Suspended in midair!
Black smoke intertwined.
Julius Reed’s hand was sliced open by the blade.
The continuous flow of Evil Qi streamed into the Dragon King Ring through the wound. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Greedy.
Insatiable!
The Dragon King Ring was like a massive black hole, voraciously devouring the Evil Qi.
The smoke on the Hell’s Sword grew thinner.
Eventually, it almost disappeared.
It was only then that Julius Reed could truly see the sword in its reality.
Rather than calling it a sword, it might be better described as a bone.
A bone...
That looked very strange.
The bone was snow-white all over, with the hilt made of pure gold.
It was hard to believe that such a sharp sword could be made from such a thing.
Nathanael Warm seemed to be stunned as well.
Since he had obtained the Hell’s Sword, he had never seen its true form.
When unsheathed, the Hell’s Sword was always shrouded in black smoke.
Only when put back into its scabbard would the Evil Qi disappear.
Now, the Hell’s Sword was void of any Evil Qi!
To the eye, it looked no different from an ordinary bone.
Meanwhile, Nathanael Warm’s complexion turned pale, his body rapidly aging.
After being Possessed, he relied entirely on Evil Qi to sustain his body.
Now that the Evil Qi was drained, Nathanael Warm felt devoid of any strength.
"So, this is how it is..." Julius Reed gazed at the bone sword before him, having an epiphany.
Seal!
Was it Evil Qi that was sealed?
He looked towards the scabbard at Nathanael Warm’s waist, which seemed to operate on the same principle as the Dragon King Ring.
Both righteous and evil.
The Dragon King Ring held Evil Qi within, and the ring itself restrained Evil Qi, even capable of confining it in a minuscule space.
The Sealing Pulse Hell Sword seemed to operate on the same principle.
That scabbard, it sealed the Evil Qi!
And the sword was the medium for Evil Qi.
"Let me tell you something."
Julius Reed seized the bone sword, and the Dragon King Ring on his hand had returned to normal.
"Actually, I am Julius Reed, Holy Master of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, City Mad Dragon, as well as the North Sea’s son-in-law and the King of the South." As soon as he finished speaking, the Dragon King Ring on his hand suddenly burst into a bloody light!
And the bone sword—
The Hell Sword!
Woosh!
Dark mist swirled around it, as if flames were burning!
Ghost Fire!
When the concentration of Evil Qi was dense enough, it would produce so-called Ghost Fire.
And the purest part of Ghost Fire was known as Ghost Fire!
The Hell Sword, sending people to hell!
"You..."
Before Nathanael Warm could finish his words, the bone sword pierced directly through his body!
Whoosh!
The Ghost Fire instantly ignited Nathanael Warm.
And Julius Reed’s eyes turned a ghastly blue!
He took the scabbard off Nathanael Warm’s waist and sheathed the Hell Sword back into it.
Ghost Fire dissipated.
Dragon King Ring also began to dim.
Swoosh.
Nathanael Warm, who was full of boldness just a moment ago, was burned to ashes by the Ghost Fire.
Including the black clothes he wore, turned into a pile of ash.
"I always feel that this sword and the Dragon King Ring are connected." Julius Reed sat on the city wall, looking at the Hell Sword in his hand, and also sizing up the Dragon King Ring, feeling very puzzled.
Sealing Pulse!
What secrets exactly do the Seven Veins hold?
What conspiracy does Pendleton have?
Ishmael Will had repeatedly reminded me that The North Sea was not of concern.
What needed to be worried about was Pendleton.
"After I destroy Deep Cold, I must have a talk with Ishmael Will." Julius Reed clenched the Hell Sword in his right hand and looked up at the sky.
Holding this sword in hand, there was nothing unusual.
But once it was drawn!
Schlick!
Julius Reed fiercely drew the sword!
The bone sword was dull and lusterless.
But when he propelled the thought, allowing the Evil Qi from the Dragon King Ring to flow out!
The bone sword began to undergo a transformation!
The Possessed, with Evil Qi attacking their hearts, can control the Hell Sword through their own Evil Qi.
But Julius Reed didn’t need to.
The Dragon King Ring stored an astonishing amount of Evil Qi, capable of erupting tremendous power at any time!
The same sword in Nathanael Warm’s hands could only coil black smoke around it.
But in Julius Reed’s hands, it could ignite Ghost Fire!
Clang!
The bone sword was sheathed.
The Dragon King Ring and the Hell Sword were simply a perfect match!
Completely contrary to the Magnanimous Integrity-filled Great Zhou Lanyue Sword he owned, the Hell Sword relied on Evil Qi!
Whereas within the Great Zhou Lanyue Sword was Magnanimous Integrity.
Even under the enhancement of the Dragon King Ring, the Great Zhou Lanyue Sword could exude black smoke, but its effects were far less than that of the Hell Sword.
The Great Zhou Lanyue Sword...
Julius Reed closed his eyes, frowning deeply.
Why can’t I remember when this weapon appeared?
Memories torn, bringing waves of pain.
Julius Reed simply stopped thinking about it.
He walked over to Nathanael Warm’s ashes, took out ten dollars, and threw it on the ground.
That was the delivery fee for couriers.
At least this sword, it’s a fine item.
Paired with the Dragon King Ring, simply perfect!
After straightening out his thoughts, Julius Reed hung the Hell Sword at his waist and walked towards Dragon Slaying Bay.
What comes next.
He will, in the face of the whole world, undertake a thousand-mile rush attack to destroy Deep Cold!
To make enemies of The North Sea, to purge the dissidents for himself!
Then, make a detour to Swimming City to find Leander Sylvan!
After he left, an old and a young figure appeared in the Baron Grey not far from the southern border.
"Medicine God, why did you induce Nathanael Warm to death?" Zain Ellsworth asked, puzzled: "The treasure falling into enemy’s hands makes it harder for us to kill him."
"If I’m not mistaken." Elaenor Wood watched Julius Reed’s fading figure and lightly said, "Then, it belonged to him to begin with. Now, it has merely returned to its rightful owner."
