Demon’s Diary

Chapter 874: Honing Sword

Half a month later, the noise of the sword fighting came from the Broken Sword Mountain again.

A 3 meters long golden sword light flashed past the sky, chasing 2 crimson sword lights.

Suddenly, the golden sword light suddenly accelerated and vanished completely after flashing.

The next moment, a layer of ripples emerged in the space 30 meters away. A golden sword light appeared and slashed a crimson sword light in half.

The crimson sword light became dim, and the broken pieces fell to the ground.

And another crimson sword light suddenly turned around and whined as if it was connected to the broken sword. It charged straight at the golden sword light.

“Swoosh!“

After the crimson sword light and the golden sword light collided several times in the air, it was bounced away and fell not far away from the broken crimson sword.

Seeing this, Liu Ming showed a hint of satisfaction, then he called back the small golden sword into his hand.

After carefully inspecting the Void Sword and confirming that it was fine, he took out the sword fighting pill, threw it up and launched his sword qi at it.

After the tri-color flames flickered for a while, it turned into a faint fragrance that went toward a certain direction in the Broken Sword Mountain.

Now he was able to properly control this sword fighting pill, so the flying swords he attracted were between 5 and 10 at a time.

It seemed slow at this rate, but the damage done to the flying sword was minimal. It saved the trouble of nourishing the flying sword in the sword pouch. The efficiency was greatly improved several times instead.

In the following time, Liu Ming went through all the obstacles and slowly fought his way up to the mountain. He relied on his huge mental power and the protection of the star river sand to almost fight with all the flying swords he encountered. He rested only 3 times during the sword fightings.

Time passed day by day like this!

After more than half a year, Liu Ming finally came to the mountainside. The density of flying swords inserted here was lower than that of the foot of the mountain. There were only about 8 flying swords in a range of more than 300 meters, but the sword intent was more than 10 times stronger.

Some of these flying swords even had tombs set up by their masters to commemorate their swords. Judging from the sharp sword qi emitted, they were no weaker than the superb spiritual sword or even the prototype of the magic weapon. It was hard to believe that these were actually broken swords with greatly damaged spirituality.

Even though Liu Ming carefully controlled his flying sword, its spirituality still inevitably suffered heavy damage from time to time. The sword honing speed was greatly reduced.

…

A year later, on the mountainside of the Broken Sword Mountain, the sword fighting sound came again. A golden sword was flashing back and forth between 2 sword lights of different colors.

At this time, Liu Ming had already let the Void Sword fight thousands of broken swords on the mountainside. These broken swords at least needed 10 years to recover their sword qi.

The sword light condensed by the Void Sword was sharper and thicker than it was a year ago. The buzzing sword sound also gradually became lower.

But the Void Sword at this time was a bit brighter than before in terms of color. Whether it was the sword qi it radiated or the sword intent contained in it, they were stronger not by little.

A few ear piercing sounds!

A blue sword light and a gray sword light bounced out, turning into 2 broken flying swords and inserted into the ground.

The golden flying sword was going up the mountain, following an agile black figure…

2 years later!

Liu Ming once again came to the place not far away from the peak. The broken swords here were even more sparse.

Not far away, beside a towering green stone tablet, a golden flying sword with 2 broken holes and a broken hilt was swaying slightly in the wind.

It was the “Lieyang Sword” that Liu Ming had seen when he entered Broken Sword Mountain.

This sword was different from other broken swords. As soon as Liu Ming approached within a range of 300 meters, the sword would emit a warning sword sound. If he got close to the sword within 30 meters, the sword would fly at him with a monstrous sword qi.

Just over 10 days ago, when Liu Ming arrived here, he accidentally triggered the sword, and he was forced to fight with it once. The Void Sword, which has been honed for a long time, was even with it, which surprised him a lot.

While the 2 golden flying swords were fighting, he carefully read the first few lines of small characters on the stone tablet that he hadn’t noticed before, and he was even more shocked.

“Lieyang Sword, made of the sword embryo based on chenyang steel contained in the meteorite. It was merged with gold essence soil and was smelted in lava for 7 years. Its length was 3 feet and 7 inches. 300 years ago, in the battle between Sky Beastkin Valley’s Feng Hu, I used body and sword fusion with Real Pellet State cultivation to forcibly resist his magic weapon, so it was damaged. This sword has been fighting with me for 79 years. It hurted 5 Celestial State cultivators, killed 46 Real Pellet State cultivators and countless Crystallization Period and below cultivators.”

Jin Lieyang, who was known as the number one esoteric disciple, was indeed powerful. He was able to injure the Celestial State powerhouse with the Real Pellet State cultivation.

Although this sword was damaged, its spirituality and hostility was still there. This was why there were no other flying swords around it.

According to Liu Ming’s inference, if the sword was intact, it would probably be more than a hundred times stronger than its current condition. Therefore, even if it had been damaged, it could still attack on its own will.

However, Liu Ming was well prepared since he came here once again.

After taking a deep breath, he immediately held the sword fighting pill with 1 hand and strode toward the stone tablet.

As a result, Liu Ming only walked a dozen steps away. The Lieyang Sword near the stone tablet shot up into the sky with a “whoosh” sound. After circling in the air, it turned into a golden light and shot toward Liu Ming.

Liu Ming slapped the silver sword pouch, and a golden sword light blasted out.

The 2 golden sword lights of 20 meters long battled fiercely in the air. The clanging sounds from the sword collisions were endless.

As the 2 golden sword lights fought, strands of golden lights spread out in all directions, crushing the rocks nearby.

The sword fighting pill was thrown by Liu Ming long ago, and it floated silently in the air.

After a dozen minutes, Liu Ming changed the sword gestures. Silver lights were emitted around the Void Sword. A silver sand rolled out and wrapped the Lieyang Sword in a silver tornado.

“I did it!”

Just when Liu Ming showed a hint of joy and made a sword gesture again, a vortex of heat wave swept out from the tornado. Golden beams pierced out from it.

“Poof“, the silver tornado turned into a roll of silver sand and burst apart. Lieyang Sword shot into the sky with a long ear-piercing sound.

Liu Ming frowned. He waved at the Void Sword, and it became 30 meters long and went at Lieyang Sword.

A loud impact resounded through the sky!

After a strong collision between the Void Sword and the Lieyang Sword, a dazzling golden sun rose up.

In the scorching sun, a faint golden sword light bounced back; it was the Void Flying Sword that had become dim.

Seeing this, Liu Ming retrieved the spiritually damaged Void Sword. After confirming that its core wasn’t hurt, he put it back into the void attribute sword pouch to nourish it.

At the same time, the golden sword light transformed by Lieyang Sword also bounced back in the opposite direction. It was inserted back to the side of the stone tablet. Its spirituality was also damaged severely, so it could no longer fight.

Next, it took Liu Ming more than a month to nourish the Void Sword, then he continued to go up the mountain peak.

3 years later!

Somewhere on Broken Sword Mountain, a 30 meters long golden sword rainbow was fighting fiercely with a 45 meters long black sword rainbow.

Liu Ming stood beside a stone tablet with a dignified expression. The gestures in his hands were changing nonstop.

According to what was written on the stone tablet, this black flying sword was called “Shayue Sword”. It was a true spirit flying sword left by a Tianjian Peak’s Celestial State elder who had passed away 6,000 years ago.

This sword had great power, but it was ferocious and bloodthirsty. No one among his descendants could control it, so it had to be sealed in the Broken Sword Mountain.

The sword was only about a foot long, and it was black. Looking from a distance, the sword body looked very ordinary with a faint aura, but its power was still far beyond Liu Ming’s imagination.

If it weren’t for the fact that its spirituality had been worn for thousands of years, so the power it could exert now was less than 1% of its heyday, the Void Sword would have been slashed in half on the first hit.

Even so, Liu Ming had already fought with this sword 3 times. It took him 6 months to slowly exhaust this sword to such an extent.

During this period, the Void Sword was damaged twice. The first time it was slashed by the sword, there was an inch long crack on the sword body. It took 2 and a half months to recover.

Since Liu Ming spent so much time on this flying sword, the Void Sword had also benefited a lot from it. The Void Sword’s length had grown from 2 feet 8 inches to 6 inches long now, and its sharpness was even triple when it just came to this space.

Now, Liu Ming was more than 3000 meters away from the peak. Looking around, there were only about a dozen broken swords sparsely above.
