Chapter 262 Demonic Weapon
Chapter 262 Demonic Weapon
"King of Ginseng, you all go in! I won't go in."
As he spoke, the green tree-man stepped aside, revealing a smooth stone wall behind him. The stone wall was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting one's image.
Chao Bufan was somewhat confused and asked, "Senior Ginseng King, what is this...?"
Although he asked the question, he already had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
King Shen said, "This is the entrance to the demon realm. Come with me!"
The stone wall had no door or opening; it was a smooth, flat wall, and the Ginseng King simply walked right through it.
A flash of white light appeared on the stone wall, and the Ginseng King vanished before their eyes.
Chao Bufan hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward. The instant he touched the stone wall, he felt a tremendous suction force pull him in. The next second, Chao Bufan felt a bright light before his eyes and found himself in another world.
This is a gloomy world, a gray expanse as far as the eye can see. There is no sun, no moon, no stars, but there is light, like the first light of dawn, before the sun has risen, with dark clouds drifting across the sky. Interspersed within these clouds are streaks of lightning thicker than a wrist, accompanied by booming thunder. Yet, despite this terrible weather, there is neither wind nor rain. The earth is uneven, full of potholes, and stepping on it feels like stepping into a mud pit, but the ground is perfectly dry.
What surprised Chao Bufan even more was that thousands upon thousands of lightning bolts seemed to be under some mysterious force, all striking in the same direction and in the same place.
"Senior Ginseng King, this is..."
He turned around and was immediately shocked. The Ginseng King's face was contorted, and his body was convulsing uncontrollably, clearly in extreme pain. He exclaimed in surprise, "Senior, what's wrong?"
The ginseng king replied painfully, "I'm fine, brother, can you feel it?"
Chao Bufan nodded.
"Let's go take a look! But you have to be quick, I can't hold out much longer."
It's clear that the Ginseng King used his own body to block the passage, preventing the demonic energy from escaping. However, the damage caused to him by the demonic energy was also quite evident.
Chao Bufan hesitated for a moment, then walked forward with a solemn expression.
close, close...
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the lightning had struck a flat area less than ten meters in diameter. In the center of this flat area, a weapon that resembled neither a knife nor a sword was stuck in the ground, and all the lightning bolts had struck this unidentified weapon.
With each strike of lightning, the weapon hisses and sparks fly.
As he approached the edge of the flat ground, his blood inexplicably began to boil, churning violently. Deep within him, an inexplicable impulse, like a ravenous beast suddenly smelling fresh blood, compelled him to walk step by step toward the weapon.
However, the moment he stepped onto the flat ground, the thunder stopped, and countless flashes of lightning disappeared without warning.
This weapon, which resembled neither a knife nor a sword, thus emitted a chilling gleam.
This weapon appears to be made of stone. One side is shaped like a knife, with a blade but no body, while the other side is shaped like a sword, also with a blade but no body. It is quite strange.
He had never seen such a weapon before, so he asked, "Senior, what kind of weapon is this? Why is it so strange?"
The old man seemed surprised as well, and replied, "I've never seen it before either."
Chao Bufan added, "I feel that this weapon contains a powerful destructive force, but I also feel that this force is very gentle."
As he spoke, he reached out and tried to grasp the hilt of the weapon. However, the moment his hand touched the weapon, a strange message entered his mind from the weapon, but he quickly understood it.
It turns out that this weapon is called the "Seven Fiend Blade," forged by the Demon King Qi Sha from the essence and blood of certain great gods from the seven realms of 'humans, gods, ghosts, demons, monsters, the underworld, and beasts.' It possesses boundless power, capable of slaying gods and Buddhas alike. It was the most powerful demonic weapon in the seven realms at the time, and also a deadly weapon, invincible to all.
Now, after millions of years of being cleansed and tempered by lightning, the power of this Seven Fiend Blade is far greater than before.
To Ling Chaofan's surprise, he pulled out the Seven Fiend Blade with ease.
The Seven Fiend Blade is five feet long, with an ancient and peculiar shape, sharp but without a body. It feels icy cold to the touch.
He carefully examined the Seven Fiend Blades, then tried to slash forward. However, the instant his hand moved to strike, he was dumbfounded. With just this casual gesture, a hole appeared in the sky ahead, and the earth cracked open. It took him a long time to recover, and without hesitation, he quickly turned and walked back.
King Shen glanced at the Seven Fiend Blades in Chao Bufan's hand, then said, "We must leave here quickly, or the world of the demon realm will be destroyed."
Chao Bufan was startled, but without hesitation, he quickly left with the Ginseng King.
When the locust tree spirit saw the Ginseng King, it quickly came forward and asked with concern, "Ginseng King, are you alright?"
At this moment, the ginseng king was still twitching all over, and his face looked terrible, as if he had been seriously ill.
“I’m fine, Huai’anzi. From now on, you don’t need to stay here anymore.”
"why?"
"Because... the demon realm was destroyed and ceases to exist."
"really?"
"Yes. This young man has already taken the demonic artifact from inside."
Huai Anzi looked bewildered, glanced at the Seven Fiend Blades in Chao Bufan's hand, and nodded, saying, "As expected, it seems I really don't need to stay here anymore. Good, good, I'm free, finally free. Brother, you saved me, I sincerely thank you."
"He not only saved you, but also the lives of everyone in our village."
"Yes, he saved the lives of our entire village. King Ginseng, right now is the most urgent time; you should expel the demonic energy from your body."
"It doesn't matter anymore."
"why?"
“I can still digest this bit of demonic energy. Huai Anzi, go and inform the whole village that we are going to hold a celebration banquet to celebrate the liberation of our entire village.”
“That makes sense, I’ll go right now.”
"Young man, please!"
"Senior Ginseng King, please go first!"
In the hall, a huge round table carved from a single piece of ancient wood was laden with fine wines and delicacies.
The entire village, young and old, totaling 180 people, plus Chao Bufan, sat together around this huge round table, yet it didn't feel crowded.
Apart from a few individuals, most people seemed to harbor resentment towards Chao Bufan, their eyes clearly showing a sense of disgust.
