Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 923 - 258: Unstoppable Combo, Instant Exorcism_4

But in the early stages of the arrival, the Heavenly Sword lineage and the Evil Sword lineage were once in collaboration.

This information is recorded in the history of the development of the Divine Artifact Clan.

Though the clan elder's narration, the Overlord Sword felt bitterness in its heart.

It knew that wanting the clan elder to step in and force the Jile Clan to unlock the hidden shackles on itself was unrealistic.

Between the Weak Tribe and the Strong Clan, there was fundamentally no possibility of negotiation.

If one dared to go, they'd likely be taken to the Blissful Space, leading to destruction as desires sublimated.

"Let's not draw conclusions yet, let's try other methods, follow me." said the leading green long sword, swiftly shooting outside the hall.

The Overlord Sword followed closely.

...

Outside the Divine Artifact clan land.

Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng were enjoying a Spirit Meal.

Having waited for hours, the Overlord Sword had yet to return.

"Rebellious child, how do you plan to proceed with the next part of the story?"

Saying this, Xia Sheng took the red fruit in his hand and bit a large chunk.

Instantly, as the flesh split open, an icy coldness and fiercely intense sensation exploded simultaneously in his mouth, the rich aroma instantly filled his nose and mouth, the intertwining ice and fire taste made him squint his eyes in delight.

"I don't know, Monster World has no plot guidance, there's completely no direction on how to proceed next, let's talk once the Overlord Sword comes out."

"Now that we have the Divine Artifact Clan's address, we need to think about how to squeeze the remaining value out of the Overlord Sword…"

During idle chat, the twisted space vortex suddenly rippled, the Overlord Sword appeared from within.

"Senior, how are things?" Jiang Cheng stuffed food in his mouth and got up to inquire.

The Overlord Sword's blade trembled slightly, the surface blood pattern flickered uncertainly, as if suppressing some complicated emotions.

"Nothing unusual."

Upon hearing the Overlord Sword's reply, Jiang Cheng, who already knew the answer, grinned:

"It's good that there's no issues, let's walk then."

The Overlord Sword did not answer, its sword body enlarged.

Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng immediately leaped onto the sword body, following the Overlord Sword into the Breaking Sky.

During the journey, the Overlord Sword curiously inquired again about Jiang Cheng's tribe information and whether the tribe had mastered any Rule Abilities.

Jiang Cheng's answer was, the tribe once held Rule Power, but after arriving in Monster World, it was taken away.

However, the Overlord Sword delved further into this Rule Power.

This made Jiang Cheng feel something was off, recalling the ring transformed by his Rune Weapon he wore, he suspected the Overlord Sword had intentions about his ring.

Thinking about it closely, the Overlord Sword probably suspected he was useless.

It likely didn't want to let him wield the sword anymore, planning to squeeze him dry and leave, hence probing what valuable things he had on him.

But faced with the Overlord Sword's inquiry, he still offered an explanation.

At this moment, the Overlord Sword suddenly shot downward, targeting a creature resembling a lizard.

"Wield the sword, kill!"

Realizing the Overlord Sword had the idea of another test, Jiang Cheng took immediate action, grabbing in the air with his right hand.

The Overlord Sword in flight instantly shrank, the hilt falling steadily into his palm.

Blood patterns moved like living creatures across the sword's ridge.

The lizard-like monster on the ground sensed the danger, its scales suddenly stood up, a row of sharp bone spikes protruded from its spine, spewing a stinking dark-green poisonous mist as a warning.

But Jiang Cheng's actions were quicker, the sword's light descended, slicing through an arc of blood color, breaking through the poisonous mist straight at the monster's head.

Hiss!

As the blade pierced the flesh, the lizard's head exploded instantly.

The next second, the lizard monster's body suddenly shriveled, its flesh essence scattered like grains from the sword blade's crevices, ultimately turning into a pile of grey-white bone powder.

The Overlord Sword's hum stopped abruptly.

"So it was you!"

Suddenly breaking away from Jiang Cheng's control, the Overlord Sword floated in front of Jiang Cheng.

At this moment, it understood everything.

The root of all issues wasn't in itself, but in the host it chose.

Returning to the clan land for checks found nothing wrong, it thought it was Jile Clan members who had acted, leaving some un-analyzable hidden threat on itself.

Even the four clan elders helping with the body check believed this.

But the clan elders did not give up, took it to the artifact prison where Blood Slaves were kept, attempting practical verification of what the issue was.

This test, with a fully formed clan elder actively wielding the sword, aimed to kill Blood Slaves in person to see if the prey's mysterious disappearance upon death was true.

The test surprisingly showed the issue it mentioned never occurred.

Killing multiple Blood Slaves, Qi-Blood Energy absorbed smoothly.

This made the Overlord Sword also curious, not understanding where the problem lay.

Before this, no matter how it tried, it ended in failure, yet returning to the clan land made it fine.

This led it to consider the current host, suspecting the issue might lie with the host.

The recent test confirmed its suspicion.

Now everything made sense.

Many questions aligned in the Overlord Sword's mind.

The inability to absorb Qi Blood Energy upon killing, the inability to capture negative emotions from Suffering, it prepared statements, but the host never asked about discovering skeletons in the resource library, always carefully studying the writings on rock walls, seemingly able to comprehend the content…

Reflecting now, it's all issues.

Clearly, this current host had long known its condition.

Which also explained why checking its body, and even returning to the clan land for detailed checks showed no issues.

But as long as "Skyfire" wielded the sword, issues arose.

Skyfire clearly knew all this, yet never explained to it, consistently using him.

"No wonder, no matter how I try, I couldn't absorb a trace of Qi-Blood, turns out it was you!"

The Overlord Sword's voice was no longer husky and low, carrying immense anger.
