Chapter 327: Sword Slave (2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Thinking of this, many cultivators’ hearts were on tenterhooks.

The more they learned about the details of the trial, the more they felt that it was not easy.

On the one hand, they had to guard against the other cultivators’ actions of snatching the defeated sword slaves, on the other hand, they had to face the special environment of spiritual energy suppression, and finally, they had to fight the sword slaves.

No matter how one looked at it, the trial this time was not as simple as finding the enemy and defeating him. If one was not careful, one might be taken advantage of by others after defeating a sword slave.

This time, the participants were all Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. As cultivators who could reach this level of cultivation, which of them had not experienced some schemes?

Therefore, everyone quickly determined that the greatest danger in this trial might not come from the sword slaves. Instead, it was the people around them.

“Alright, I’m sure everyone now understands the details of the first stage of the Heavenly Sword. This stage has a time limit. If you can’t bring a sword slave’s broken sword back here in seven days, then you will fail the stage. I still hope that most of you can return in time. By the way, sometimes running away isn’t shameful. It’s not a bad choice to act according to your ability and conserve your strength.”

With that, the city gates of Swordfall City slowly opened.

A huge hourglass floated next to the immortal boat, telling everyone that the trial had begun.

Almost the moment the city gate opened, many cultivators rushed out as if they were racing against time.

Lu Yuan did not strive to enter the first echelon, but mixed in the middle, huddled in the crowd to head out of the city.

After all the participants left, some Spirit Sword Sect disciples who guarded the Sword Slave Forbidden Area joked with each other, “Old Luo, how many people do you think will come back on the first day?”

“Hmm… More than half of them, 1 suppose. After all, after they see what the sword slaves look like, they will no longer be naive enough to think that they are dealing with a group of wild beasts that had lost their minds.”

“I feel the same, but 1 don’t think half of the people will come back. After all, there’s a big difference between escaping and successfully escaping.”

As this batch of trial-takers left Swordfall City, the original crowd quickly dispersed.

The group of thousands eventually split into a large number of groups and headed in their respective directions.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to choose a direction to leave, cultivators blocked his path.

“Fellow Daoist, please wait.”

Lu Yuan stopped in confusion and looked at the cultivator blocking his way.

“What do you need, Fellow Daoist?”

The other party smiled and said, “I can see that your cultivation is only at level

1 of the Nascent Soul Stage. You must have just entered the Nascent Soul Stage, right? Fellow Daoist, you might not know this, but sword slaves aren’t the only enemy in the Sword Slave Forbidden Area. There are many other monsters born from this special world. Although those monsters are not very strong, usually between the Core Formation Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage, they are very difficult to deal with. If we want to find the sword slaves, we must first deal with these monsters and then think of a way to surround and kill the sword slaves. With your strength, Fellow Daoist, it would be very difficult for you to do this alone.”

“We also understand the difficulty of this trial, so we came together to take care of each other. The one behind me is Young Master Chen from the Chen family of Diling City. Not only does he have a cultivation of level 4 of the Nascent Soul Stage, but he is also an official disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect with extraordinary Swordsmanship. Fellow Daoist, if you join us, we can guarantee that you will receive at least loo supreme-grade spiritual stones as a reward after the trial. How about it?”

Hearing this, Lu Yuan’s face revealed a strange expression.

After talking for so long, was the other party inviting him into his team?

As for why the other party had come to him, he must have thought that his cultivation was low and easy to control, which made him a good candidate to be cannon fodder.

Unfortunately, Lu Yuan didn’t want to form a team with anyone.

Moreover, ever since he entered the Sword Slave Forbidden Area, Lu Yuan had a vague feeling that there was something in this place that was of great help to him.

Lu Yuan had felt this before.

Therefore, he decided to follow his gut feeling and see what it was that could attract him.

“I appreciate your kindness, but 1 still prefer to travel alone.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan flew straight in a certain direction.

Looking at Lu Yuan’s back, the expression of the cultivator who invited Lu Yuan instantly darkened.

“He really doesn’t know how to appreciate favors. Does he think that the Sword Slave Forbidden Area is an ordinary place? If he encounters a sword slave at the Nascent Soul Stage, with his cultivation, he might not even be able to withstand a sword strike. Those who die first in the Heavenly Sword Trial are idiots like him who don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.”

As time passed, the thousands of trial-takers quickly scattered into the huge Sword Slave Forbidden Area. It was difficult to find anyone.

Other than the blood-red sky, the environment of the Sword Slave Forbidden Area was not much different from an ordinary mountain range.

After Lu Yuan confirmed that there were no other cultivators within 50 kilometers, he chose a random place to stop.

This place was already over a thousand miles away from Swordfall City. It would not be long before he would be able to meet the legendary sword slave.

But before that, he still needed to make some preparations.

A little tortoise that looked like a stone statue appeared in Lu Yuan’s hand.

After the little tortoise appeared, it jumped onto the ground. As soon as the little tortoise landed, a formless ripple spread out.

Then, the little tortoise seemed to have sensed something and ran in a certain direction.

Lu Yuan followed the little tortoise and chased after it.

“Kill, kill, kill…”

In the dark scarlet forest, a humanoid monster with red eyes and a twisted face was walking aimlessly among the trees. His right hand was replaced by a long sword made of flesh and blood, and his spine was full of barbs.

Not far away from him, a corpse that had been chopped into minced meat was lying on the ground silently. From the wounds on his body and the terrified expression on his face, it was clear that he had not expected to encounter such a situation.

The owner of this corpse was one of the trial-takers.

The person who killed him was naturally the strange humanoid monster in front of him.

The sword slave suddenly stopped walking and raised his head to sniff the air.

Then, he abruptly turned his head and looked in the other direction of the forest.

A handsome cultivator slowly walked out of the forest. Next to the cultivator’s feet was a small stone tortoise.

Moreover, the little tortoise even called out a few times, as if saying that it had found prey.

This person was Lu Yuan, who had followed the little tortoise all the way here.

The sword slave looked at Lu Yuan, who appeared unexpectedly, and his distorted face immediately revealed an excited smile.

“Kill!”

As the sword slave roared, his right hand instantly expanded and turned into a huge sword that was 50 meters long. He slashed in Lu Yuan’s direction.

Lu Yuan did not seem to have the slightest intention of dodging this saber. He just stood there motionlessly.

When the sword slave saw this, his eyes became even more deranged. It was as if he had already imagined the scene of the other party being killed by his sword and the latter’s flesh flying everywhere.

However, the excitement on the sword slave’s face disappeared in the next second as the little tortoise beside Lu Yuan’s feet instantly swelled and transformed into a huge stone black tortoise.

Bang!

The sword slave’s powerful sword strike only left a shallow scratch on the stone tortoise’s body.

Under the sword slave’s astonished gaze, the little black tortoise’s head shrank first, and then it suddenly charged forward.

Rocket head mallet!

The little black tortoise’s attack sent the sword slave flying. The strength was so great that it made the sword slave’s bones crack.

Yet, even though he had suffered such injuries, the sword slave still acted as if nothing had happened. He quickly stood up again. The sword of flesh and blood in his right hand seemed to be releasing special energy that was repairing his body..
