Chapter 370 - Awakened Purple-Rank Divine Artifact

Chapter 370 – Awakened Purple-Rank Divine Artifact

The reason why An Zheng had the confidence to challenghird stage Lower Completion Stage cultivator was because he discovered that there had been some changes within the Blood Pearl Bracelet. This kind of change made An Zheng happy.

“I will use you to test just how strong the purple flame of the Eight Trigram Pill Furnace is!”

An Zheng’s eyes turned cold, and his body suddenly moved forward.

The name of the cultivator holding the sword was Wang Jianli, one of the most outstanding cultivators in the history of the State of Zhao’s Green Pine Sect. He had only cultivated the way of the sword for half his life, and his sword intent was simple and direct.

“Go!”

Seeing that An Zheng actually dared to rush over to him, Wang Jianli slightly squinted his eyes and said a single word with his left index finger and middle finger together.

The sword Qis surrounding his body had already formed a force field, like a balloon being inflated. An Zheng’s forward movement was equivalent to piercing through the balloon. The moment the balloon exploded, of course, all the air currents would rush out of the hole. When the Qi field was broken, what rushed out was not the Qi flow, but Wang Jianli’s one word sword.

It was as if a Symbol Master had drawn a line in the air. The word sword was extremely sharp.

[Awakening]

An Zheng muttered, and then the Blood Pearl Bracelet exploded with a burst of red light. Immediately after, a purple Qi flow shot out from the Blood Pearl Bracelet. The purple light unexpectedly faced the sword intent and did not cower.

“Open the Nine Hell World!”

As soon as An Zheng finished speaking, the purple light quickly swelled up, and wrapped around Wang Jiayi in an instant. The purple light formed a huge circular arc, and likransparent cover, it trapped both of them within. Then, waves of ringing sounds directly entered into Wang Jianli’s ears. That ringing sound was crisp and clear, yet it sounded like waves of thunderclaps had entered his mind!

Wang Jianli’s expression changed greatly. “Purple-Rank Divine Artifact!”

An Zheng pushed his hands forward, “Kill!”

After the purification, the Nine Hell Magic Bell appeared, and even its shape changed. In the past, the Nine Hell Magic Bell were nine of them. However, after being purified by the purple fire from the Eight Trigram Pill Furnace, the rust on them had completely disappeared, as if they had been completely restored to their original state. The patterns on the bell were clearly visible. It was simple and unadorned. When the bell rang, the whole of the Nine Nether Realm was struck by lightning, but to An Zheng, it was still a crisp bell chime.

In an instant, Wang Jianli’s forehead was covered in sweat. He had never thought that his opponent would actually possess a Purple-Rank Divine Artifact.

There wauge difference in their cultivation levels, but when An Zheng reached the seventh stage of the Captive Stage, the might of the Purple-Rank Divine Artifact he could unleash was completely different from before. Why couldn’t the Purple-Rank Divine Artifact estimate its value? It was because of its heaven-defying abilities. If one had a low level of strength, they would obviously not be able to unleash its immense might. However, with An Zheng’s current realm, he could already let the Purple-Rank Divine Artifact display its divine might.

On the surface, nothing could be seen. However, Wang Jianli’s complexion grew worse and worse.

“Get out of my head!”

Wang Jianli roared, and even his voice became hoarse.

His sword intent started to become berserk, the word sword intent shooting straight towards An Zheng like streaks of lightning. The Holy Fish Scale automatically flew out from the Blood Pearl Bracelet and its shape also changed. The eighteen Holy Fish Scale were divided into two groups, one group had nine pieces. One of the group formed a shield in front of An Zheng, blocking all of the violent sword intent. As for the other nine Holy Fish Scale, they formed a sharp blade that was like a cicada’s wing, and floated beside An Zheng.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

One word of sword intent struck on the Holy Fish Scale in front of An Zheng, causing him to uncontrollably retreat a few steps back. His steps were extremely heavy, and every step he took left a deep crater in the ground.

“Beginner level third stage of Lower Completion Stage, you’re really strong!”

An Zheng pursed his lips, suppressing the surging Qi and blood. His opponent was after all, a third stage Lower Completion Stage cultivator, and the strength of his opponent was far stronger than a Captive Stage cultivator. However, An Zheng was no ordinary cultivator in the first place. Not only did he havop-grade magic tool to protect himself, he also had an abnormally abnormal body that had been refined three times from the Lightning Lake, the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace, and the Eight Trigram Pill Furnace. If relying on the two Purple-Rank Divine Artifact s combined with the three times of tempering of his body still could not beat Wang Jianli, then the Purple-Rank Divine Artifact would not be worth much.

What An Zheng wanted to do was to block Wang Jiayi’s word sword.

What An Zheng was enduring, was what Wang Jianli was also enduring.

The Nine Hell Magic Bell’s voice rang again and again in Wang Jianli’s mind, louder and louder. Wang Jianli felt as if his head was about to explode. That sort of pain was not something that could be described with words. That sound had not only shaken his head to the point that his head felt like it was about to split open, even the Cultivation Power in his body had become chaotic.

“Again!”

An Zheng stepped forward.

Wang Jianli’s sword was pointed at An Zheng. His hand was no longer as steady as before, but the sword energy did not weaken at all. With one hand supporting his forehead, he clenched his teeth and rushed towards An Zheng. The formless sword intent could not penetrate An Zheng’s defenses, he could only use his physical sword to kill An Zheng.

With a clang, Wang Jianli’s long sword pierced the Holy Fish Scale. An Zheng’s body retreated once again. Wang Jianli pushed An Zheng forward and An Zheng’s feet dug two deep trenches into the ground. The third stage Lower Completion Stage of the Lower Completion Stage waowerful Cultivation Power, and it continuously attacked the Holy Fish Scale. It seemed like the sword was only touching the Holy Fish Scale, but the sword qi was attacking it time and time again.

An Zheng’s chest was also suffocating, but his strong body allowed him to persevere on. The Blood Pearl Bracelet began to share his injuries, and the second grade Golden-Rank in the medicinal field started to evaporate the medicinal energy, replenishing An Zheng’s Cultivation Power.

Looking at it, An Zheng seemed to be fighting alone. With a cultivation at the seventh stage of the Captive Stage, he was challenging someone an entire realm higher than him. But in reality, An Zheng seemed to havowerful and well-coordinated team by his side.

An Zheng’s gums were bleeding.

The distance between the two of them was already very close, so An Zheng could clearly see the line of blood in Wang Jiu’s eyes.

“The sword is not bad.”

An Zheng could feel the treasured energy on Wang Jiayi’s longsword. That was a Golden-Rank Artifact, which was already nearing its peak, just a little more and it could be considered to be top quality purple Golden-Rank.

“Leave the sword behind to mend my sadness!”

Withought from An Zheng, the Blood Pearl Bracelet started to forcefully erase the aura left on Wang Jianli’s longsword. But Wang Jianli was too strong, the Blood Pearl Bracelet tried thrice in a row but to no avail. However, after three times, Wang Jianli’s control over the longsword had clearly become not as stable as before.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Wang Jianli felt as if his head was about to explode. The sound waves continuously bombarded his brain, causing him to almost go insane. His forehead, of course, bulged, and then the bag broke open, and blood spurted from it. Then, visible sound waves shot out from his brain. The sound waves were originally formless, but now the blood-stained sound waves could be seen clearly. Circles of red ripples burst out from his brain. After Wang Jianli cried out in grief, he finally lost control of the longsword in his hand and fell headfirst onto the ground.

The Blood Pearl’s snatching ability was once again activated, and Wang Jianli’s Qi was finally removed from the long sword. The long sword’s radiance was directly absorbed by the Blood Pearl Bracelet in a flash.

A voice suddenly appeared in An Zheng’s mind... Scarlet Sword Technique!

It was created from the Red Refined Crystal Iron from the Danxia Mountain and was created two hundred and thirty years ago. The Scarlet Crystal Iron is ranked third in equipment creation. It is tough, swift, and most suitable for cultivators of the fire attribute.]

The most famous equipment in the martial world was of course the Stellar Cast Iron. The second was the Great Venus Dragon Mark Steel, and the third was the Red Refined Crystal Iron. Different from Stellar Cast Iron and Great Venus Dragon Mark Steel, Red Refined Crystal Iron was not meteoric iron, but a unique material of the Danxia Mountains. It was rumored that in the past 500 years, the amount of Red Refined Crystal Iron found in the Danxia Mountains did not exceed 100 Jin. As for this Scarlet Blade, it was at leasundred Jin heavy. In other words, this sword was the only one that could be produced in 500 years.

Boom! *

A cloud of blood burst out from the back of Wang Jianli’s head, and another wave of sound rushed out from his brain.

After the Nine Hell Magic Bell passed through the essence of the Eight Trigram Pill Furnace, its power became even more tyrannical than before. Once that sound entered the enemy’s mind, unless the enemy was truly strong enough to fight against the Purple-Rank Divine Artifact, they would not be able to get rid of it. Even cultivators stronger than Wang Jianli would not necessarily have their heads smashed by the sonic wave, but they would definitely be distracted, and would definitely split up a large part of their Cultivation Power to block this kind of bell chime. In a decisive battle between experts, once one was distracted, everyone would know what it entailed.

Wang Jianli’s corpse fell to the ground, and An Zheng pressed his hand on Wang Jianli’s back. The Blood Pearl Bracelet flashed wited light, and actually sucked out Wang Jianli’s Cultivation Power that hadn’t dispersed yet.

That was another person’s Cultivation Power. If it was forcefully absorbed into one’s body, it would cause the two Cultivation Poweo mutually reject each other, causing one’s body to explode and die in the end.

As for An Zheng, he naturally did not want to become his own after absorbing a part of Wang Jianli’s Cultivation Power, even if it was an even more powerful cultivator of the Higher Completion Stage or a cultivator of the Lower Celestial Stage, it would be impossible for him to absorb someone else’s Cultivation Power. Everyone’s Cultivation Power was unique. Absorbing another person’s Cultivation Power was tantamount to taking poison.

An Zheng stored this wave of Cultivation Power in the Blood Pearl Bracelet for the time being, then lowered his head to look at the spatial artifact that had fallen beside Wang Jianli.

The space magic tool and Wang Jiu’s blood vessels were connected. After Wang Jianli died, the power of his bloodline could not be sustained any longer, thus, the space magic tool fell out uncontrollably.

An Zheng picked up the spatial artifact. He did not have time to check what was inside, so he stored it in the Blood Pearl Bracelet.

He raised his head and looked at the chariot in the distance. The killing intent on the chariot was even stronger than before.

Pah pah pah pah pah!

A round of applause came from the chariot, seemingly containing a bit of sarcasm.

“Formidable! The martial arts world is indeed the martial arts world for you youngsters!” I had long heard that the State of Yan had produced a young genius. Not only was he able to turn the tide and protect the entire State of Yan, his own cultivation talent was shockingly good as well. Duke An, you have truly made this old one look at you in a new light today. ”

The curtain of the chariot was pulled open and an old man with white hair and a beard could be seen sitting inside the carriage. On the surface, this person looked to be around seventy years old. But in reality, as an old official of two dynasties in State of Zhao, the Left Prime Minister Sima Zhen was already oveundred years old. It was rumored that he was a hundred and twenty years old, but even the King Zhao did not know how old Sima Zhen was.

“There are many talents in the martial arts world.”

Sima Zhen praised him, “With a young man like you in State of Yan, you will definitely be above all the other nations in the future. Therefore … You can’t live any longer. ”

His hand came out from the chariot and pointed at An Zheng: “Kill him, his head will be hanging on the ruins of Song City, the time I came out was very urgent, I need to quickly rush to Fanggu to see the little Swallow King called Mu Qidao.”

The swordsman standing to his left nodded his head, “This subordinate knows.”

Sima Zhen said, “Your Junior Brother died a terrible death and lost the lives of the cultivators of the State of Zhao. Forty-eight years of cultivation was actually inferior to a single junior. If you lose and he doesn’t kill you, you can just kill yourself too. ”

The cultivator holding onto his sword gave a grunt. “I killed Wang Jianli. It was even simpler than him.”

He took a step forward, his face brimming with confidence. “I only need one strike.”
