Chapter 1061: Chapter 669
“Clang!” Seeing that everyone hadn’t reacted yet, Liu Hun didn’t care about much else. He moved swiftly, his dagger appearing in his palm, and then staggered as he blocked one person beside him.
This person was the one who had just retrieved a weapon from the coffin, and unbeknownst to all, these people had already surrounded them; and this person’s target was Old Bai.
Hearing the crisp sound of weapons clashing, Old Bai couldn’t help but shiver slightly, following his line of sight to the side, only to see Liu Hun’s dagger and the opponent’s weapon only centimeters away from his position.
If Liu Hun had been even a little later, he might have already been killed under the opponent’s weapon.
“Thanks.” Seeing this scene, a bit of cold sweat appeared on Old Bai’s forehead, and he couldn’t help but express his gratitude to Liu Hun.
Upon hearing Old Bai’s words, Liu Hun’s arm shook, directly forcing the opponent back, and then with a slightly somber expression, he warned everyone, “These people are probably bewitched by these weapons. Though I don’t know why it’s happening, everyone really needs to be careful now.”
Just as Liu Hun finished his words, those holding weapons began attacking everyone. In an instant, everyone was engaged in battle.
Qin Tao was some distance away from them, so the pressure he faced was much greater than what Liu Hun and the others were dealing with.
These people, holding weapons retrieved from the coffin, seemed to have doubled their strength compared to before.
Everyone who had survived until now wasn’t simple, and with doubled strength, the pressure on everyone was substantial.
But Qin Tao, alone, faced several opponents attacking him. Each held a weapon from the coffin; for the moment, he could only retreat strategically.
At this moment, Liu Hun, with a cold look in his eyes, continuously scanned the surroundings at these weapon-bearing people. Each of their eyes was blood-red, identical to the scene when everyone entered the area earlier.
Back then, Liu Hun had awakened everyone using the power of the Artifact Soul, but now he couldn’t utilize it again in such a short time. Even if he could, he might not choose to.
After all, these people had nothing to do with him, their lives or deaths made no substantial difference.
“Could they be possessed?” Suddenly, a thought rose in Liu Hun’s mind, and he murmured softly.
“Damn it, how did these bastards suddenly become like an iron wall? I swung my sword, and there’s no reaction!” Just as Liu Hun’s words fell, Wu Dao angrily cursed from not far away.
Hearing Wu Dao’s words, Liu Hun looked over. Wu Dao was wielding a longsword, continually slashing at a possessed individual. Even after disarming this person, Wu Dao’s sword strikes had no effect whatsoever.
Seeing this, Liu Hun narrowed his eyes slightly, a flash of shock passing through them.
“Using so many terrifying weapons merely to protect the Artifact Soul of the Chiyou Weapon really isn’t ordinary weaponry. Luckily, I didn’t touch these things earlier!” After a silent sigh of relief, Liu Hun moved swiftly, charging at one of the individuals ahead.
The person had blood-red eyes and was holding two weapons: a short spear and a large blade, looking impressive.
But this guy wasn’t very strong, only at the seventh level of the Innate realm.
The moment Liu Hun reached the person, the short spear was thrust directly at him, and just as Liu Hun dodged, the large blade in the other hand swung towards his face.
Liu Hun could clearly feel the fierce wind rushing at his face. If hit, his body would probably be cleaved in two.
In that instant, Liu Hun didn’t hesitate at all. His palm flipped, the dagger appearing in his hand, and he blocked the large blade.
“Clang!” Another crisp sound echoed, and in that moment, sparks flew in the air, and Liu Hun’s dagger slid down the blade edge to the opponent’s wrist.
Then, with a single-handed motion, the dagger slashed swiftly at the opponent’s neck at a strange angle.
“Pfft!” As the dagger landed on the neck, it made a slight sound, as if tearing through paper; a gush of crimson blood sprayed out.
Seeing this scene, Liu Hun’s heart stirred, and the dagger was directly enwrapped by a thread of Xuan Fire. The moment the dagger was drawn, this guy was engulfed in blazing flames.
Watching the person in front being continually incinerated into ashes, Liu Hun’s expression showed no hesitation. Wu Dao had just knocked away the weapon from the hand of a person in front of him, yet they remained unchanged. Their bodies were as indestructible as iron walls, so it wasn’t Liu Hun’s fault after all.
“Too greedy, so you can’t blame others, but these people can only be killed by my weapon, which is truly a bit bizarre.” Liu Hun couldn’t help but murmur softly in his heart.
His dagger had merged with the Artifact Soul of the Chiyou Weapon, so Liu Hun had previously speculated whether he was the only one who could kill these people. The experiment he just conducted proved his guess correct.
But upon considering that he would have to kill so many people one by one, Liu Hun suddenly felt a terrible headache.
After pondering briefly, Liu Hun had no hesitation, constantly shuttling through the crowd, never hesitating to strike when an opportunity for a decisive kill presented itself.
In a short time, Liu Hun became like a death god. Death followed wherever he walked, and even the corpses did not remain.
After about half an hour, only a pile of ashes was left in the field, surrounded by countless weapons.
“Liu… Brother Liu, isn’t your weapon a bit too terrifying? Why not sell it to me, name your price.” Wu Dao glanced at the ground situation and was somewhat stunned as he looked at Liu Hun and asked.
“Sell your wife to me, you can name the price, willing or not?” Liu Hun glanced at the field, then looked at Wu Dao and replied indifferently.
“Willing, certainly willing, but I’m just worried Brother Liu, you wouldn’t fancy her.” Wu Dao didn’t think twice and nodded repeatedly at Liu Hun.
Hearing Wu Dao’s shameless words, Liu Hun couldn’t help but have a few black lines appear on his forehead, catching the shocked expressions of everyone glancing at him with the corner of his eye.
Liu Hun understood that this matter needed to be explained to everyone; otherwise, they would always have some speculation in their hearts.
Liu Hun didn’t care about their speculations, but this matter was indeed somewhat bizarre. Clearly, these people’s bodies were like iron walls and their weapons couldn’t pierce them, yet he could manage it. Naturally, people would guess it was related to the Chiyou weapon, a result Liu Hun would rather not see.
“My weapon, although precious, is not key to killing these people. The true secret lies in the power of Xuan Fire, from the inside out.” Liu Hun explained to Wu Dao.
“I told you, how could your broken weapon be so formidable? Turns out it’s because of Xuan Fire’s power. Damn, if I’d known earlier how terrifying Xuan Fire was, I would’ve tried it myself before, leaving all the benefits to you now.” Wu Dao said to Liu Hun, somewhat annoyed.
“On that stone platform, there’s still a bit of Xuan Fire’s seed. Though it is far inferior to fully formed Xuan Fire, its power is immensely strong. If you want it, you can take it.” Liu Hun said seriously as he looked at Wu Dao.
“Really?” Wu Dao’s eyes widened upon hearing Liu Hun’s words.
But after seeing Liu Hun nod, Wu Dao’s face showed a bit of defeat, then helplessly said, “Forget it, I don’t have your luck. Inside, there’s not only the terrifying Molten Lava Giant Python, but if careless, it won’t be me swallowing Xuan Fire, but Xuan Fire swallowing me.”
“Thankfully you have some self-awareness; that bit of Xuan Fire I deliberately left behind, just a seed to potentially brew new Xuan Fire in hundreds or thousands of years.” Liu Hun continued.
“Liu Hun! Do you really want me to die here?” As Liu Hun’s words just fell, Qin Tao suddenly shouted in anger at Liu Hun from not far away.
As Qin Tao’s words fell, everyone’s gaze swept towards him, seeing two possessed guys chasing him to kill. Qin Tao’s face was pale, sweating heavily, looking extremely embarrassed.
Just from Qin Tao’s expression, it was easy to tell this guy was already at his wit’s end, yet he didn’t dare stop. Otherwise, if those two caught up, he’d be doomed.
And when Liu Hun killed these people just now, he deliberately left these two alive, evidently on purpose.
“Oh dear, isn’t this our Young Master Qin? How is it that you’re begging now with such attitude? Deserve to die at their hands, and this scene, I can record with my phone and take it back for your father to see, proving it wasn’t us who killed you.” Wu Dao shrugged with a sinister grin.
And as the words fell, he pulled out his phone and casually opened the camera, recording a video focused on Qin Tao.
“Damn!” Catching Wu Dao’s bastard truly pulling out his phone to record him, even the always civil Qin Tao couldn’t help but curse.
