From Sword to Slaughter: Evolution

As soon as Xiao Feng swallowed the pills, the effects took hold, and the medicine's power erupted instantly!

If I can just get that sword, I shouldn't die.

That sword seemed to grant immense power to its wielder.

Xiao Feng's thoughts raced as he prepared himself.

"You will die!!!"

At this moment, Zhang Changxin, wielding the Soul-Slaying Sword, charged at him!

Once again, he unleashed the power of [Hellfire Soul-Splitting Slash]!

A terrifying wave of white flames surged forward!

Swoosh!

But Xiao Feng, his eyes wide open, managed to dodge at the last second.

"Die! Die!!!"

Zhang Changxin roared, repeatedly using [Hellfire Soul-Splitting Slash].

One terrifying wave of white fire after another shot out.

Boom! Boom!

Each strike hit the ground around them, causing massive explosions.

Damn it!

Xiao Feng dodged every single attack!

Zhang Changxin realized that Xiao Feng's reaction speed had become alarmingly fast, avoiding all of his attacks.

"Die already!"

In the next instant, Xiao Feng appeared right in front of Zhang Changxin!

Zhang Changxin's eyes widened in disbelief.

He had gained the power of the divine sword, his abilities fully enhanced!

How could Xiao Feng be moving even faster?

He tried to summon his internal energy, but at that moment, he realized it was all gone!

No, not that he couldn't summon it, but his energy had already been completely depleted!

And at that moment, Xiao Feng's spear struck!

Bang!

The spear pierced through Zhang Changxin's head.

Zhang Changxin's eyes remained wide open, filled with disbelief.

He had only just acquired the sword, and now he was dead!

As soon as he died, all of his blood energy was absorbed by the Soul-Slaying Sword.

[Achievement Unlocked: Sword of Misfortune]

(Unlock after the death of 30 Sword Masters: 10/30)

[Sword Master deceased. Blood essence absorbed.]

[Gained 8,739 Evolution Points.]

"Another Sword Master died so quickly," Ye Fan commented.

Zhang Changxin had been too reckless, using [Hellfire Soul-Splitting Slash] repeatedly without considering how much energy it consumed. What a fool.

"Still, the evolution points from these two Sword Masters are much lower than when Ren Xing died," Ye Fan muttered to himself.

Maybe it was related to the time the sword was wielded, or perhaps the wielder's strength at the moment of death?

"Trash!"

Xiao Feng stabbed his silver spear into the ground and picked up the Soul-Slaying Sword.

Swoosh!

At that moment, a powerful wave of energy surged toward Xiao Feng.

It struck his body, but Xiao Feng was prepared. His energy surged, creating a protective shield that blocked the impact.

"Trying to ambush me?"

Xiao Feng glanced toward Zhao Changlong with a cold smile.

Zhao Changlong's eyes widened in shock.

What's going on!?

Why had Xiao Feng's strength increased so much?

After taking those pills, his power had surged, and now, with the sword in his hand, his strength was even greater.

"This sword really is like a magical artifact," Xiao Feng said, gripping the Soul-Slaying Sword with a fanatical gleam in his eyes.

The increase in power from the sword's attributes made him feel exhilarated!

[Sword Master: Xiao Feng]

[Good: 11.2%] [Evil: 88.8%]

As the information from the Soul-Slaying Sword flowed into Xiao Feng's mind, his eyes widened in excitement.

So that's how it works!

"Zhao Changlong, die now!"

With a thought, Xiao Feng infused his energy into the Soul-Slaying Sword.

In an instant, he slashed through the air, unleashing a massive wave of white flames!

Zhao Changlong, in a desperate attempt to escape, turned around just in time to see the huge surge of white fire heading straight for him!

Boom!

His entire body was engulfed in the white flames.

"Ah!"

A bloodcurdling scream rang out as Zhao Changlong was reduced to a burning figure.

In no time, his body was charred, like a piece of blackened coal.

[Killed eighth-tier warrior. Gained 8,000 Evolution Points.]

"Pathetic."

Xiao Feng sneered coldly.

"The City Lord said we should seal this sword away."

"But I don't see the need for that."

With a wicked smile, Xiao Feng examined the sword closely.

"Even if it's a demonic sword, it depends on who wields it."

"A good user won't suffer any backlash from a demonic sword."

He laughed to himself as he admired the sword.

In the end, he was the one who had claimed the Soul-Slaying Sword!

"I don't think you'll last long."

Ye Fan observed Xiao Feng's state and muttered to himself.

Xiao Feng had clearly ingested some strange pills earlier.

Although his body was full of strength now, the power from those pills came from forcibly stimulating and depleting his life force.

The consequences would soon follow.

"Argh…"

As expected, Xiao Feng's eyes widened as veins bulged on his face.

"Damn it…"

Xiao Feng gritted his teeth.

"What's happening…? The sword just absorbed that man's energy… Why is my power still draining!?"

The excruciating pain coursing through his body made him cry out.

His legs buckled, and he could barely stand.

Leaning on the Soul-Slaying Sword for support, his once swollen body began to shrink at a visible rate.

"Forbidden pills... I shouldn't have taken them…"

Xiao Feng collapsed to the ground, convulsing as white foam frothed from his mouth.

Within moments, his body went limp and fell silent.

[Achievement Unlocked: Sword of Misfortune]

(Unlock after the death of 30 Sword Masters: 11/30)

[Sword Master deceased. Blood essence absorbed.]

[Gained 8,883 Evolution Points.]

"He died just like that."

Ye Fan sighed, somewhat speechless.

Xiao Feng had essentially killed himself.

Boom! Boom!

Dark clouds gathered overhead, and it began to rain.

Not long after, some strange beasts appeared from the wilderness, tearing into the shriveled corpses left behind.
