Chapter 565: Chapter 563 Xun Wuxian

Seeing Wen Wen disappear, Merry Troublemaker withdrew the Sword Qi Crystal.

In fact, he had only pointed the Sword Qi Crystal at Wen Wen for show, as he could only activate the power of the Sword Qi Crystal once in a short period of time.

But once was enough to scare away both Wen Wen and Red Beard.

Seeing no threats around, Merry Troublemaker instructed his three subordinates to stand guard beside him, then he sat down cross-legged.

During his rapid expansion of power, Merry Troublemaker had stumbled upon an old notebook more than a hundred years old, which detailed matters related to the Sword Qi Crystal.

At first, Merry Troublemaker was skeptical about the content of the notebook, but after extensive verification, he found everything matched the records, which made him eye the Xun Family Tomb.

Until just now, through a special method, he had channelled the power of the Sword Qi Crystal; the records in the notebook hadn’t contained a single error.

This convinced Merry Troublemaker that the notebook was the great Evil God’s guidance to him, wanting him to gain strength, take over Absurd Words, and make Absurd Words the strongest secret organization... or even rule the world like the Hunters Association!

Now, he was about to perform the ritual described in the notebook to merge with the Sword Qi Crystal and truly master its power.

After merging with the Sword Qi Crystal, he could become a true Disaster True Sequence Master, capable of unleashing attacks like the one before with a flick of his hand.

According to the notebook, the ritual was simple and quick, almost undisturbed.

That’s why he chose to perform the ritual here, believing that power was truly his only when he firmly held it in his own hands.

He had already prepared everything needed for the ritual, the only item missing was the Sword Qi Crystal.

He had long since drawn complex runes on his body and took out a strange potion, gulping it down.

He had investigated earlier, and the runes and potion were meant to help him better absorb the power of the Sword Qi Crystal, which is why he was confident enough to use them on himself.

Finally, with a grave expression, he inserted the Sword Qi Crystal into his chest; the transformation began almost immediately upon its entry.

Merry Troublemaker’s body started emitting a pearly white glow, with Sword Qi flashing intermittently over him. He could feel his strength rocketing up like a rocket.

"Those old fogies from the Xun Family, to think they just left such a thing in the tomb and ignored it, giving me this windfall for free, hahaha..."

As Merry Troublemaker laughed heartily to the sky, his body suddenly shook, and a circular Sword Qi radiated out from him.

The three subordinates standing behind him were hit by this Sword Qi almost instantly.

The unprepared Top Man and Pumpkin Man’s bodies were instantly shattered, while Bicycle Rider managed to block the Sword Qi with his beloved bicycle, but also coughed up blood and collapsed, unable to move.

Merry Troublemaker’s face changed; he had felt there was too much Sword Qi within him and had wanted to release a bit, but he had not expected it to injure his three subordinates, killing two and wounding one.

Even though he had intended to release the Sword Qi, he had never anticipated such consequences.

"No, no... the Sword Qi just now was no accident, it was an intentional attack!"

Merry Troublemaker’s forehead was suddenly covered in cold sweat, considering a terrifying possibility, he urgently tried to pull out the Sword Qi Crystal embedded in his chest, but the Sword Qi Crystal had already disappeared into his body.

His movements became stiffer, and his expression grew more and more panicked.

The Sword Qi seemed to be commanded by someone, usurping control of his body, and since Merry Troublemaker had wholeheartedly accepted the Sword Qi before, he was now completely unable to resist it.

"This isn’t any power crystal of the Xun Family ancestor at all, this is, this is..."

"I don’t want to die yet, I haven’t mastered Absurd Words, I haven’t gone to find her..."

Before Merry Troublemaker could finish speaking, white Sword Qi burst forth from his body, enveloping the surrounding area in what appeared to be a massive sphere.

A streak of blue light flashed, and Wen Wen reappeared where he had vanished before, watching the Merry Troublemaker’s desperate wails inside the white light and sighed softly.

"Greed leads to destruction..."

"Merry Troublemaker’s body is being transformed by the Sword Qi. In a moment, he will likely reappear in a different form, all his strength having dressed the centuries-dead Xun Family ancestor."

Wen Wen felt somewhat fortunate; he too had originally planned to absorb the Sword Qi Crystal. Had he done so, his fate would probably have been the same as Merry Troublemaker’s.

However, inside Wen Wen’s body was that mysterious man in black, and that Xun Family ancestor who wanted to seize Wen Wen’s strength would probably be squished like a flea by that man in black.

The transformation lasted for about five minutes before it completely dissipated, and everything within ten meters of Merry Troublemaker had turned to powder.

A close look revealed that this powder was not crushed by a tremendous force, but cut by the sharp Sword Qi, with angular fragments.

Standing in the center of the crater was no longer Merry Troublemaker, but a strange man with hair down to his waist.

This man wore Merry Troublemaker’s leopard print coat without looking ridiculous; the yellow and black stripes resembled twisted Sword Qi.

From the details of his eyes and brows, this man did indeed bear a resemblance to Xun Ying. It must be that Xun Family ancestor.

The swordsman who died centuries ago, resurrected in such a manner, made Wen Wen feel a sense of temporal disorientation.

The man looked at Wen Wen and with an approving look in his eyes said, "My name is Xun Wuxian, you’re quite impressive."

"You look really cool too," Wen Wen awkwardly responded, giving a thumbs up.

He was a little unsure how to face this Xun Wuxian, resurrected hundreds years after his death by taking over another’s body, which easily reminded Wen Wen of some evil beings from the Inner World.

Yet, the one whose body was taken was a member of a wicked Secret Organization, and again Wen Wen thought he had done it splendidly.

Whether he was good or evil, the strength of the Disaster True Sequence was indisputable, and Wen Wen was helpless against him.

Seeing Wen Wen somewhat nervous, Xun Wuxian smiled and said, "To resist the temptation of the Sword Qi Crystal and thereby find your own Sword Heart, even within the Xun Family, it’s rare to find such promising talent as yours."

"You could know what was happening outside while you were in the Sword Qi Crystal?" Wen Wen asked, puzzled.

"I could sense a bit, but not much," Xun Wuxian thought for a moment and said.

Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he didn’t know much; had he known that Wen Wen had once been stuffed into a jar of pickles or even urinated on blankets, the scene would have been extremely awkward.

"By the way, what era is it now?"

"Federal Calendar 152," Wen Wen casually said.

Xun Wuxian looked baffled for a moment: "What is this Federal Calendar?"

Just as Wen Wen was about to explain, Xun Wuxian said somewhat dejectedly, "Never mind, no need to explain. I’m merely one who has already died; knowing this has no meaning."
