Shadow Hack - Chapter 692
Chapter 692: Netherworld Sword
Li Yunmu was following Beautiful Silk out when a guard rushed over to report to her. “Bad news, Dragon Lady! Our underground blacksmith workshop has been destroyed. It-it was that mortal woman who destroyed it!”
Beautiful Silk glanced at Li Yunmu. “Your friend is being impudent! I let it go when she forcefully entered the Dragon Silk Palace, but now she has also destroyed the blacksmith workshop! What exactly does she think she is doing?”
Beautiful Silk was somewhat furious, and Li Yunmu couldn’t offer any explanation for why Miss An would do such a thing. He could only say a few words to appease the woman’s anger.
“Sorry for causing trouble for your Dragon Silk Palace. We should first take a look at what exactly is going on.”
When they arrived at the blacksmith’s workshop at the lower level, they saw that the master blacksmith was lying on the ground with a large hole at the center of his chest. Blood was constantly pouring out of it.
Standing in front of them was a woman with a strange smile on her face. There was a unique demonic sword in her hand.
Beautiful Silk’s pretty eyes went wide, and she said with endless astonishment, “That is… Netherworld Sword!”
Li Yunmu couldn’t help but ask in bafflement, “What? Don’t tell that my friend is being controlled by that sword.”
Beautiful Silk’s complexion turned unsightly. She didn’t know how to explain everything to Li Yunmu. “Netherworld Sword was created by a demonic cultivator. He used seven hundred and twenty types of demonic objects from the eastern domain to refine this sword filled with demonic qi.
“If someone touches it, they will immediately become a slave to the sword. Your friend is presently in such a situation, and the sword’s strength is extremely domineering.
“A hundred years ago after Dragon King sealed it, this sword suddenly appeared in the vicinity of Dragon Silk Palace. I requested my best blacksmith to completely destroy this sword, but who could have expected that it would surprisingly act up again. I fear that it does not bodes well for our Dragon Silk Palace.
“Once Netherworld Sword appears, the ocean will be completely overturned!”
Fear flashed across Beautiful Silk’s face. She seemed to be terrified of the sword.
Based on how demonic it was, Li Yunmu guessed that Miss An was also in danger.
The divine cyan blade showed up in Li Yunmu’s hand, unsheathed. A strange smile appeared on Miss An’s face, who was not far away, when she looked at Li Yunmu. A hint of contempt flashed across her eyes.
Clearly, the sword’s demonic will did not care for Li Yunmu. His meagre strength wasn’t enough to place him in its eyes.
Li Yunmu’s body got covered by metal armor. Even a dragon had suffered a headache fighting him when his body was wrapped in the golden armor, so the demonic sword should also be unable to cleave it open…
When Miss An saw Li Yunmu taking action, she immediately waved the demonic sword in her hand. Its black sword qi instantly became a wave in the water.
When the radiant attack rushed forward, it blew everything away. Even the Dragon Silk Palace’s master Beautiful Silk was forced back several meters and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
The black sword qi was extremely domineering, since it was refined from demonic treasures.
When Li Yunmu’s metal armor tried to protect him, it was cleaved apart.
Bang!
The sharp and clear shattering sound rang out, and the metal armor covering Li Yunmu’s body turned into fragments. He could barely believe what he saw.
The metal armor had even caused a headache for the dragon, but in front of the demonic sword, it was like a piece of paper.
The corners of Miss An’s mouth bent. She lifted the demonic sword and closed in on Li Yunmu step by step.
The system inside Li Yumu’s body gave him a number of warnings. [That demonic sword is very formidable and domineering! Even an ancient god level expert might not be its opponent.]
Li Yunmu was slightly startled. “Then what should be done? We cannot kill it, since if we killed it, then Miss An would also be in mortal danger.”
[That Miss An is someone from Underworld Serpent, so why do you care if she will live or not? First think about preserving your own little life.]
“She had followed me into the eastern domain. Even if previously there were grudges between the two of us, they weren’t completely irreconcilable.”
[You are truly kindhearted! Alright then. Help her once for your face.]
“Help her how?”
[Apart from the Dark State, there’s no way to control the demonic being inside the sword. Your Dark State will be able to absorb all the dark attribute energy.]
“But it isn’t western region’s dark energy, but rather eastern domain’s demonic qi.”
[After using Dark State, open the Fiend Origin!]
Li Yunmu was slightly startled, Fiend Origin was the skill which the system had prohibited him from using. But right then, it was requesting him to open it. What exactly did that mean?
The system could see that Li Yunmu was unable to understand the reason and patiently explained it. [ Fiend Origin has the ability to restrain all demonic beings. After using it, you can absorb the demonic qi and use it for yourself.]
“But isn’t Fiend Origin excessively domineering, and its side-effects….”
[If you want this girl to die, then don’t bother using it!] the system said.
Li Yunmu’s heart sank and he furiously said, “Why not use it? If that demonic being in Miss An’s body isn’t eliminated, it will continue to cause wreckage. It also killed the blacksmith and destroyed the waver boat, so how will we leave the Dragon Silk Palace now?”
Li Yunmu, who was already short on time, felt anxious. If the demonic being wasn’t defeated, it would continue to destroy the Dragon Silk Palace and delaying the day of his departure.
This was something that Li Yunmu did not want to see. Since the system had made the suggestion, he couldn’t care about the side-effects and instantly unleashed the Dark State.
Fiend Origin was also activated when Li Yunmu entered the Dark State!
However, he lost consciousness during it. He had to completely depend on the system to activate Fiend Origin.
After the dark energy wrapped around his body, it seemed to be even more terrifying that Miss An under the control of the demonic being.
The Dragon Lady Beautiful Silk, who had just spat out blood on the side, was startled by the black energy covering Li Yunmu.
The mortal also turned out to be a demonic being? His body was covered by dark qi, which the demonic beings liked the most!
At first, Beautiful Silk had been concerned. If Li Yunmu was defeated by the demonic being, the entire Dragon Silk Palace would be in peril.
However, she would have never guessed that Li Yunmu was also a dangerous person. And she had actually.. thought of giving birth to his child?
If their child turned out to be a demonic being in the future, what could she do?
