Chapter 216 Are you using me as a tool?
I stood there in shock, looking at the Soul-Slaying Knife that pierced into the heart of Master Xu Er for a long time.
The scene before my eyes was really too weird.
A knife actually came out of its sheath on its own, and pierced into the heart of a dead person, and then began to devour the flesh and blood of this person?
I have never seen such a thing, let alone heard of it. I guess that even my master may not know that the Soul-Slaying Knife has such a habit.
"Could it be that the Soul-Slaying Knife... is a demon sword?"
I swallowed my saliva with a 'gulp', then walked closer to the corpse, squatted down and observed it carefully.
I saw that the body of Second Master Xu had gradually dried up. His skin, which was originally full of wrinkles, now looked like dried orange peels, as if it would break if touched lightly.
His facial expression became more and more evil at this moment.
His eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open, as if silently telling the pain he was enduring.
His eyeballs, which were originally full of bloodshot, now seemed to have turned into two cracked glass marbles, full of cracks, as if they would break at any time.
Although Second Master Xu was dead, he did not die of normal death due to the end of his life span, but was killed by my own hands. .7
Logically speaking, he had just died, so there should still be a trace of life in his body.
But at this moment, his body was extremely emaciated and withered. If you didn't know, you might think he had been dead for a long time after seeing his body.
The most important thing is that after Master Xu Er died, I didn't feel any energy fluctuations of his soul, which means that Master Xu Er not only died physically, but also his three souls and seven spirits were directly dispersed.
According to common sense, this is absolutely impossible.
If I had killed his three souls and seven spirits with Taoism, then his symptoms at this moment would be understandable, but I didn't. I just twisted his neck, causing his physical death.
After the death of the body, normally the soul of Master Xu Er will leave the body and report to the City God Temple. On the seventh day, it will return to the place of death and be detained by the underworld.
But Master Xu Er actually skipped all the steps. His soul seemed to be destroyed along with his body.
The next moment, my heart suddenly jumped, and I thought to myself: "Could it be that the Soul-Slaying Knife devoured not only...his flesh and blood, but also his three souls and seven spirits?"
I was shocked by this thought, and looked at the Soul-Slaying Knife with a little more fear.
What kind of knife can devour the flesh and blood and soul of the dead?
Could it be that this knife...really has life?
But how is this possible!
Then, I remembered that every time the Soul-Slaying Knife was unsheathed, it had to devour my blood.
"This Soul-Slaying Knife should be picky about food, otherwise I wouldn't be the only one who can pull it out. But if it's picky about food, why can it devour the flesh and souls of the dead at this moment? Also, when it sucks my blood in the future, will it... also devour my soul?"
Once this thought came up, it could no longer be suppressed, and along with it, there also arose a deep fear and fear of the Soul-Slaying Knife.
Just as I was looking at the Soul-Slaying Knife and thinking about it, I suddenly heard a light "puff" sound. I looked down and immediately found that the sound came from the abdomen of Second Master Xu. The reason for this sound was that Second Master Xu's belly had completely dried up and even directly broken, revealing a big hole.
Through this hole, I saw that the body of Second Master Xu was completely empty.
"His internal organs were all devoured?" I was horrified.
Then, the sound came again, but Second Master Xu's body was like a piece of paper that was burned to ashes, and it suddenly shattered and turned into debris on the ground.
This sudden scene startled me and I stood up suddenly, stepping back several steps.
But then, my pupils shrank, because I saw that the Soul-Slaying Sword had undergone a huge change.
The blade turned blood red, and there were even some lines on it. The lines were densely engraved on the blood-colored blade, which looked indescribably weird.
"Buzz..."
A trembling sound was heard, and then the blade shook, and then a blood light spread out from the blade, and instantly spread around.
In an instant, the blood mist around was dispersed by the blood light emitted by the Soul-Slaying Blade. If it was just that, I wouldn't feel scared. What scared me was that after dispersing the blood mist, it turned the tip of the blade and flew straight towards me.
"Oh my god!"
I was shocked and shuddered, my scalp went numb.
"You bastard, are you going to suck me?"
I cursed, and then turned around and ran, but just as I turned around, a bloody light passed by me.
The next moment, I heard a "swish" sound, and then I felt a sinking at the waist. I looked down and my eyes widened instantly.
"Returned, returned to the sheath?" I swallowed my saliva with a "grunt": "What the hell is going on? And why has the Soul-Slaying Sword become so heavy?"
To my surprise, the Soul-Slaying Sword did not hurt me, but returned directly to the sheath.
But strangely, the Soul-Slaying Blade was much heavier than before, and it felt to me as if what was hanging around my waist was not a sword, but a person.
I quickly grabbed my belt to avoid the embarrassment of my pants being knocked off by the Soul-Slaying Blade, and then I looked at the blade with a puzzled look on my face.
Apart from being ridiculously heavy, the Soul-Slaying Blade in its sheath looked normal, as if everything that had just happened was just my illusion.
But the next moment, the Soul-Slaying Blade suddenly began to tremble violently, and as it trembled, I suddenly had a feeling of wanting to hold it.
This feeling became stronger and stronger, as if something inside the Soul-Slaying Blade was calling me.
Finally, I was almost out of control, and I reached out my hand and grasped the hilt of the knife.
Almost the moment I grasped the hilt, I heard a buzzing sound, and it felt as if the Soul-Slaying Knife was cheering and jumping for joy.
Immediately, I felt a pain in my palm, and the handle of the Soul-Slaying Blade was covered with barbs again.
The barbs pierced into my palm, and a stream of pure vitality and energy flowed along those barbs and instantly entered my body.
The energy was extremely powerful, and it instantly entered my body, causing me to freeze in place. The blood vessels in my right arm bulged at this moment, as if they were about to burst. Even my right arm was stretched to be much thicker than before.
"Ah!..."
I howled in pain, because the energy was flowing in so violently that it was more like being stuffed into my body than flowing in.
But then, I was suddenly shocked to find that the wound on my chest was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even my groggy mind became clear.
"Is this... repaying me?" I was surprised, but then, severe pain filled every part of my body again, making me scream. I
don't know how long it took, but the severe pain finally faded away slowly, and the Soul-Slaying Sword also returned to calm, and I was almost drenched in cold sweat.
I stumbled and sat on the ground, took a few deep breaths, and then looked down.
"The wounds on my chest have all healed?" I widened my eyes, looking stunned, and then rubbed my head again, and found that my head didn't hurt anymore, and even the damage to my soul was repaired.
"Was it the Soul-Severing Sword that helped me heal my wounds?"
I glanced at the Soul-Severing Sword on my waist, opened my mouth, and said, "Hey, can you... understand me?"
The reason I made this move was because I felt that this sword was alive, and even, it was very likely to have thoughts.
This may be hard to believe, but I really felt this way.
Especially before, I suddenly had the urge to hold it. It felt as if I had some kind of spiritual resonance with it, as if it was calling me.
"Hey, if you can understand me, can you give me some reaction?" I spoke again.
Almost as soon as I finished speaking, the Soul-Slaying Knife actually trembled. I was delighted and was about to continue speaking, but the next moment, I was stunned.
Because I felt a strong suction force suddenly coming from the Soul-Slaying Knife, and then all the blood in my body began to flow backwards, quickly gathering towards my right arm, and finally, was swallowed by the Soul-Slaying Knife.
"Why is it swallowing my blood again?" I was confused, but then I suddenly understood: "Is it because... it can't convert other people's energy into power, so it transmits the swallowed energy to me first, and when I convert that energy into my own power, it then sucks it away? What the hell, are you treating me... as a tool?"
