Chapter 876: Chapter 752: The End of the Great War_2

And this "Two-Five Soul-Cutting Gourds" also has a quick method of refinement.

As long as one can find a treasure with a sufficient amount of Metal Qi, one can greatly bypass the nurturing step.

In Fang Xi’s opinion, this fragment of a blade from an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure is just perfect.

It substantially leans towards the Metal attribute as a Supreme Treasure and is also very much in the right shape.

Just need to find another breed of gourd, combined with many rare materials, the "Two-Five Soul-Cutting Gourds" can then be accomplished very quickly.

"Even those auxiliary materials, after gathering with Fu Youzi’s treasure trove, can also make up most of what is needed..."

"By then, this ’Two-Five Soul-Cutting Gourd’ can serve as the strongest method openly available to me after integration."

Although Fang Xi now has many means, most of them must not be exposed.

Putting aside the Treasures of All Heavens and the Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Light for now, the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan is now confirmed to be related to the alias ’Mr. Fu’ and is also connected to Fu Youzi’s death, risking potential investigation.

Not to mention the Green Barley Sword – if word gets out, Changqingzi will definitely come looking for trouble.

After the blade is sacramentally refined into the "Two-Five Soul-Cutting Gourds," some components should be added to the blade to transform it into a flying dagger style.

This doesn’t require re-melting the fragment but is more akin to adding some ornamentation to the surface, even repainting it, which is relatively simple...

Moreover, as it is usually concealed within the gourd, nobody can see its true form. Those who actually see it are likely facing the flying dagger, either dead or injured...

"This method of refining the ’Two-Five Soul-Cutting Gourds’ comes from an Outer World Book, widely circulated among the upper echelons of the Earth Immortal Realm’s human race, so there’s no need to worry about exposing its origins..."

...

Sword Realm.

Before a perilous pass.

Along with a desolate beast roar, the previously fearless attacking army of monster beasts suddenly stagnated.

Then, they began to retreat like a tide.

In the high skies.

Sword Lights were entangling with an integrated monster beast, crisscrossing back and forth, one Sword Light cold, carrying an indescribable chillness and austerity.

"Alas... This time, my Monster Clan has still fallen short in strategy..."

A beast, big as a mountain, roared as a pale gray little tower emerged within the dark green Sky Demon Qi.

This little tower suddenly became enormous as if reaching for the heavens, with countless Monster Clan totems appearing around it, and at the very top, several True Spirits Phantoms surged visibly.

Streaks of silvery light twinkled, spanning in front of the many cultivators of the Sword Pavilion and forming a "Heavenly River" composed of Spatial Rifts, blocking the Sword cultivators’ path of pursuit.

"The Devil-locking Tower?!"

A middle-aged sword cultivator with snow-white hair and sword-like brows flying into his temples said with evident apprehension.

The Devil-locking Tower was one of the most famous treasures among the Monster Clan, and the one present had been refined to the seventh level, marginal to the eighth level - a "Semi-immortal artifact." It was nearly impossible to deal with its Void ability.

The Monster cultivator on the other side was doing so, naturally, to cover the other high-ranking Monster cultivators’ retreat.

"You think you can escape?!"

An extremely young voice rang out.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, streaks of green Sword Lights soared into the heavens.

The terrifying Sword Qi, as if endowed with the might of heaven and earth, fell down, toppling golden mountains and overturning jade pillars.

Countless Immortal Mansion inscriptions erupted fiercely, splitting the "Heavenly River" of Void Cracks right in two!

One sword split the Heavenly River!

In the Void, the figure of a white-robed sword cultivator appeared.

His stature was tall and straight like a sword, with starry brows and eyes, and he appeared to be around twenty years of age. Yet his cultivation had reached the late stage of Returning to Emptiness!

In his right hand, he actually held a green short sword!

This short sword was no longer than a foot and did not have a hilt. It was entirely green and emanated an incomparable sharpness.

"Hmph, a mere junior, only able to show off with a Flying Sword from the Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure!"

A Flying Sword of strange material emerged from within the dark green Sky Demon Qi and pierced through the air with one strike.

The white-robed youth stood undaunted, stirring the short sword in his hand, clashing fiercely with that ’Monster Sword’ in the air.

Sounds of metal clashing resounded through the heavens, while infinite Sword Lights shredded the clouds for thousands of miles around.

All of a sudden, there was a sound like a dragon’s sword cry.

The Monster Sword turned into a streak of light and fell back into the hands of the integrated Monster cultivator, with several rice-grain-sized notches now visible on the blade.

Seeing this scene, the Monster Clan couldn’t help but let out a long, heartache-filled howl, turning and leaving.

Having fought with swords for so long, it was enough to delay him, allowing the high-ranking Monster cultivators to have mostly fled.

As for those who hadn’t escaped far, they were merely cannon fodder left to cover the rear!

In the Monster Clan, it was always survival of the fittest!

"Don’t think you can leave!"

As the young swordsman prepared to give chase, that previously mentioned middle-aged sword cultivator became a Sword Light, blocking his way: "Do not chase a desperate enemy!"

"Jianzi truly has unmatched swordsmanship; to think he could fight against an integrated Monster cultivator in the initial stages without falling behind..."

A few Escape Lights stopped, revealing the cultivators within. They were mostly sword cultivators, and at this moment, satisfaction was evident on their faces.

"It’s just a pity... we could not execute a formation to slay the integrated great demon!"

Jianzi sheathed the green short sword and said to the middle-aged man, "Sect Leader... As the great battle between human and demon comes to an end, I wish to traverse the 99 territories of the human race, to test my sword against the world!"

"Even though the Sword Pavilion has the tradition of swordsmen testing their swords throughout the world, isn’t this too soon?"

One of the Sword Pavilion elders expressed his concern.

"Everyone rest assured, it will not take much time and I will surely reach the complete stage of Returning to Emptiness. When I test my sword against the world and forge an unimpeded sword heart, I should be able to strive for integration success..."

The young Jianzi said with an indescribable determination in his tone, "With Fu Youzi’s betrayal, a position among the Five Sons of the Human Race is vacant. Once I achieve integration, I must vie for it... to restore the former glory of our Sword Pavilion!"
