Buried Sword City.

At noon, the gray and dusty Artifact Refining Master Dong Dachui, with an explosive hairstyle, walked over from afar.

“Huh? Why are you the only one here? Where are Chen Zui and Xiao Han?”

Dong Dachui only spotted Elder Bing, who was napping with closed eyes, and was surprised not to see the other two.

“They went to gather herbs for alchemy.”

Elder Bing took a small sip from his wine cup, enjoying a rare moment of leisure amid busyness.

“Gathering herbs for alchemy?” The term was too unfamiliar for Dong Dachui, he repeated it and didn’t ask further questions.

“Dachui, how are your two items getting along with repairs?”

At the mention of the items, Dong Dachui’s face seemed to darken even more.

His heart twisted sharply, still pained over the materials he spent on them.

“The Moonlight Longsword is manageable, though it requires some effort and materials. As for the Demon Crossing Cloth…”

A thousand words in Dong Dachui’s heart turned into a deep sigh.

He vowed that under the name of an Artifact Refining Master, he would never admit that this piece of cloth was a cape, absolutely not!

As they were talking, suddenly, the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword at the center of Buried Sword City erupted with terrifying Sword Momentum.

The Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword moved!

It had been countless years since it last moved, but today, it moved once again.

Dong Dachui abandoned his carefree demeanor, and Elder Bing stood up from his seat; they hurried towards the city outskirts without agreement.

They wanted to see who had the nerve to challenge the Tier Nine strength of the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword.

Outside Buried Sword City.

A sword tip, much larger than a mountain peak, emerged from the clouds and descended.

The rapid descent speed caused the sword tip to generate a reddish heat from friction with the air.

The fiery red sword tip crashed down like Mount Tai atop a spot within a ten-mile radius, embedding itself deeply into the soil, entering an unknown depth.

Slowly, fresh red blood oozed from the soil surrounding the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword.

Further away, some soil loosened, and pale, ghostly hands reached out from beneath the layers.

The Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword pulled out from the deep soil, its entire blade stained with blood. It then switched from thrusting to sweeping, swinging over most of the vast soil area in a half-circle.

In an instant, many ship captains’ heads, bodies, limbs, and organs were cleaved into pieces, scattered everywhere.

“It’s the Life and Death Apostles of the Holy Bishop.”

“Wasn’t that troublesome guy sealed by the Mechanical Sect?”

“Chen Tao rescued him.”

“Chen Tao?! That rascal, getting more and more out of control without his father around!”

Elder Bing and Dong Dachui stood at the city gate, watching the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword slay the Life and Death Apostle, engaging in dialogue with each other.

The Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword would attack any hostile creatures within ten miles of Buried Sword City.

As a Tier Nine killing weapon, not even a Life and Death Apostle could get close to Buried Sword City.

This was their absolute confidence.

Among the attackers, a Life and Death Apostle dressed as a ship captain looked up, sighting the distant Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword engaged in slaughter, and rubbed his face full of resignation.

“This time, the losses seem a bit too much.”

“Wonder if we can recoup.”

While he murmured to himself, more Life and Death Apostles launched an attack on Buried Sword City from all directions.

There was only one Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword, but it had countless avatars.

If he could touch Buried Sword City even once, it would be a victory.

But, the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword demonstrated that he would never have that chance.

As more Life and Death Apostles appeared, the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword sensed the ferocity of their approach, and no longer simply swept and slashed as before.

The sword returned to the central position of Buried Sword City.

Sword Qi sprang forth like a fountain with the sword’s return, surging from underground in Buried Sword City, and shooting skyward.

Each Sword Qi stream condensed like jade, radiating a faint white light. Once fully erupted, from afar, Buried Sword City seemed to connect with the high heavens, forming a Sword Qi bridge to White Jade City.

The next moment.

The Sword Qi that shot skyward drizzled down like raindrops, propelled by the inertia and force of its fall, rapidly descending.

Each Sword Qi could claim the life of a Life and Death Apostle.

More and more Life and Death Apostles were pinned down dead outside Buried Sword City.

In the blink of an eye, the outskirts seemed to transform into an enormous mass grave, filled with identical corpses as far as the eye could see.

Such a bizarre and terrifying scene,

raised goosebumps on even the experienced Elder Bing and Dong Dachui, littering the ground.

…

Within Medicine Valley.

After Han Zhan shouted, everyone reacted immediately.

Zhan Ning and Yu Lian, naturally, almost reflexively, recited the spell effects like naming dishes, quickly listing a series of aura effects.

Instantly, beneath Zhan Ning and Yu Lian’s feet, colorful neon lights like those in a red-light district, they shone brightly.

Chen Zui guzzled several bottles of strong liquor, gulping down one after another, causing his entire face to flush red.

Han Zhan engaged all Five Urgent Skills, with the support of the Shennong Cauldron and Fu Xi Zither, without extra actions.

Their responses were completed in a blink, immediately following, an abrupt white light burst like a round sphere of light, covering the entire area from a slope in the shade.

Whether Mimosa or Mimosa Bugs, both were engulfed in the suddenly erupting white light.

After the white light.

Medicine Valley’s slope was transformed into a radial crater, with someone coughing while climbing out.

“Damn it, these Mechanical Sect bastards even bomb passersby!” Zhan Ning cursed angrily, spitting out dirt he’d just eaten.

No need to think, only the Mechanical Sect with its Virtual-Real Technology, Virtual-Real Bomb, could create such an explosive event from nothing.

Zhan Ning and Yu Lian, strengthened by the Knight’s Aura, their injuries were still within acceptable limits.

On the other side, Han Zhan and Chen Zui also climbed out of the pit.

Han Zhan was unscathed, while Chen Zui’s injuries were slightly more severe compared to the knights of the Sun Never Sets Knight Order.

Before the four could catch their breath, Han Zhan preemptively warned again.

“Continue!”

Boom!

Another white flash erupted from the pit, deepening the crater further.

The Mechanical Sect, with its Virtual-Real Technology, was the most convenient and unpredictable with their actions.

“Can’t you decompose the Virtual-Real Particles? Quickly decompose them!” Zhan Ning didn’t forget to shout to Han Zhan at this time.

He recalled the previous scene in the Mechanical Sect mine.

“Can’t decompose.” Han Zhan shook his head.

“Why not?”

“Because there are just too many!”
