From Sword to Slaughter: Evolution

"Oh? The effect of the Sword of Misfortune has activated."

"This guy has invited bad luck upon himself."

Ye Fan commented as he observed the situation.

After becoming an S-rank sword, it seemed that the requirements for the sword master had become much stricter.

"So powerful!"

"It really is a strong demonic sword!"

"So strong, my power... my power has increased so much!"

Tang Gaohu exclaimed excitedly.

This was exhilarating!

It felt unbelievably satisfying!

"This guy..."

Ye Fan couldn't help but feel speechless.

Tang Gaohu had no composure, yelling out like that in excitement.

"It seems someone else has arrived."

At that moment, voices came from behind.

"Who is it!?"

Tang Gaohu's expression shifted slightly as he turned around to see several warriors approaching.

Among them was none other than Xiao Feng!

"Finally found it."

Xiao Feng's lips curled into a smile.

"Damn, if I hadn't run fast enough last time, that old man would have killed me with his sword."

"Never thought I'd find it here."

Beside him were three other eighth-tier warriors who had previously escaped.

"Who are you people!?"

Tang Gaohu demanded coldly upon seeing them.

Just then, Ye Fan sent some information about the Soul-Slaying Sword to Tang Gaohu through his mental link.

[Sword Master: Tang Gaohu]

[Good: 23%] [Evil: 77%]

"An evil-aligned sword," Ye Fan remarked.

"Hand over the sword, and we'll spare your life."

One of the eighth-tier warriors, eyeing the sword in Tang Gaohu's hand with greed, spoke coldly.

Their gazes were filled with desire.

They had felt the terrifying power of this sword in that earlier battle.

It had even been able to slice through A-grade superior weapons!

"Heh, you want my Soul-Slaying Sword?"

"You think you can just take it?"

Tang Gaohu laughed loudly.

Now that the sword had conveyed its abilities to him, he fully understood just how powerful it was!

"How arrogant for a mere seventh-tier warrior."

"You're a worthless weakling. Even if you wield that sword, you're still just trash!"

One of the eighth-tier warriors scoffed, brandishing his sword and launching an attack.

"Everyone, get him!"

As he attacked, he called out to his comrades.

He knew this sword wasn't ordinary!

It was likely that after just a few strikes, their weapons would be destroyed by the Soul-Slaying Sword!

"Damn it!"

Tang Gaohu's expression changed drastically as he witnessed the situation unfold.

Despite his bravado, he was inwardly panicked.

After all, he was facing several eighth-tier warriors!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Tang Gaohu frantically swung the Soul-Slaying Sword to defend himself.

But the overwhelming power of the eighth-tier warriors sent him flying.

"So sharp."

Xiao Feng and the others glanced at their weapons.

Their blades were already marred with dents and chips.

"A demonic sword, indeed."

"And that guy just called it the Soul-Slaying Sword."

"Is that the name of the sword?"

Xiao Feng and the others exchanged glances, relaxing slightly.

It was clear that they hadn't gone all out in the battle.

Tang Gaohu's strength was nowhere near Ren Xing's level.

"Bloodthirsty Frenzy!!!"

Tang Gaohu roared.

He had learned of the Soul-Slaying Sword's abilities from the information it had passed to him.

As he activated [Bloodthirsty Frenzy], a portion of his blood energy was consumed.

Blood-colored energy erupted from his body, causing his strength to increase!

"So this is the power of the sword!?"

His eyes widened in shock, filled with awe.

The boost in power from the blood-colored energy was immense!

However, this power came at the cost of his own blood essence, and he didn't dare use too much of it.

"Hand over the sword!"

In an instant, Xiao Feng and the others continued their assault.

Xiao Feng, spear in hand, lunged directly at Tang Gaohu.

Clang!

Tang Gaohu used the sword to block the attack.

But the sheer force of it caused him to stumble back several steps.

At that moment, the other eighth-tier warriors closed in from all sides!

"You damned fools, all of you can die!!!"

Frantic and overwhelmed, Tang Gaohu let out a furious roar.

Phantom Dance!

With a thought, Tang Gaohu infused his energy into the Soul-Slaying Sword, instantly activating the sword technique.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Dozens of afterimages of Tang Gaohu's figure appeared, rushing toward the enemies.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

This time, it was Xiao Feng and his men who frantically swung their weapons, trying to defend against the onslaught.

One of the eighth-tier warriors was slashed across the arm, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.

"Damn it..."

The warrior's face twisted in pain.

"Die!"

Taking advantage of the opening, Tang Gaohu lunged at him with the Soul-Slaying Sword!

He knew that if he killed this man, he could replenish the blood energy he had consumed!

But just as he thrust the sword forward, he tripped and fell to the ground.

He had stumbled over a rock!

"Hahaha..."

Ye Fan was speechless at the sight.

At such a critical moment, Tang Gaohu had tripped over a rock!

"Could this be the effect of the Sword of Misfortune?"

Ye Fan almost burst out laughing.

The timing of the Sword of Misfortune's effect was just too perfect.

"Die!"

Xiao Feng seized the opportunity, thrusting his spear forward!

Swoosh!

The spear moved with incredible speed.

In the next instant, it pierced through Tang Gaohu's head!

Tang Gaohu's eyes widened in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that he had just died.

He had just obtained the demonic sword and was supposed to rise to the pinnacle of power, yet here he was, dead.

And it had all happened because he tripped and fell.

[Sword Master deceased. Blood essence absorbed. Gained 7,000 Evolution Points.]

As the system notification sounded, Tang Gaohu's body withered before their eyes.

"Good! We killed him!"

The other warriors laughed in triumph.

Xiao Feng's lips curled into a smile, and he reached out to take the Soul-Slaying Sword.

But just at that moment, a sword thrust toward him!

Xiao Feng's pupils contracted as he instinctively dodged.

"Zhao Changlong, what are you doing!?"

Xiao Feng glared at the one who attacked him.
