The huge and surging Combat Aura created a huge force field. Dumby had just been kicked 50 meters away by Owen, but the scene in front of him was something he would never be able to forget.
The Vice President shouted: "He is going all out! Everyone attack together!" He could no longer stay out of this. His body moved horizontally as a huge golden claw of battle energy grabbed at Owen's figure in the air.
Owen laughed tragically as the blue light suddenly brightened. "Hell King's Blade Transformation — Instant — Slash —" All the lights merged into one and turned into a huge blue light blade that slashed down. The golden claw of battle energy immediately disappeared without a trace. The light blade slowed down a bit, but it still took the life of an assassin. This assassin didn't even leave a corpse as he completely disappeared in the air.
The Vice President was shocked. He had only heard of two moves of the Hell King's Sword before. They were the Hell King's Flash that shook the world and the Hell King's Double Flash that shocked the gods and ghosts. He was confident that he could deal with those two moves, so he wasn't afraid of Owen's resistance. However, he had never heard of the third move of the Hell King's Sword Art before. This shocked him. If it wasn't for his subordinates using their lives to neutralize that strange and overbearing attack, he wouldn't have the confidence to block it. The Vice President no longer held back. His body shone brightly as countless claw images pounced toward Owen who had just finished using the third move. The remaining two assassins from the Yuan Sha Gang followed him out. Even though they were facing such a powerful enemy, their determination did not waver.
Owen had already thrown caution to the wind. He shouted: "Die, Hell King's Clones — Endless —" Countless blue lights flew out from his body toward the Vice President in the air. The Vice President exclaimed: "There's more?" A large patch of blue light with an aura of death came toward him. The Dou Qi that he sent out seemed to have no power at all as it was completely swallowed up. He couldn't care less about attacking the enemy and had to focus on protecting himself first. He opened his arms wide and grabbed the two assassins beside him. Then, he used all of his internal energy and threw the two assassins into the blue light.
The last two assassins didn't even have time to scream before they disappeared into thin air. The remaining blue light still took away one of the Vice Chairman's left hands. He felt his blood essence and life force rapidly flowing out of his body. Without any hesitation, he grabbed his left elbow and tore off his forearm, tossing it into the air.
Owen pounced at the Vice President like a ferocious ghost and shouted, "Pluto …"
Hearing these two words, the Vice President was already like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring. He struck the ground with all his might with his right palm, and with a loud boom, a three-meter-deep crater appeared on the ground. Using the rebound force, he disappeared into the distance like a shooting star.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. When Dumb rushed back, everything was over. Owen was half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath. Dumb rushed to him and shouted excitedly, "Uncle, uncle, you're amazing! All the bad guys have been chased away by you. "
Owen didn't reply and panted violently. Dumb was shocked and quickly ran to Owen's back, transferring his pure vital energy into Owen's body. With Dumb's support, Owen seemed to feel a lot better. He let out a long breath and turned to Dumb, saying, "Quick, help me back to the house. Don't stop, keep transferring your vital energy into me. "
Dumb was shocked to find that Owen's eyes had completely turned red, and a faint blue aura appeared on his face. He hurriedly helped Owen, who was covered in blood, up. He placed Owen's arm on his shoulder and pressed his other hand on Owen's back, constantly transferring his True Qi to him.
Back in the room, Dumb helped Owen to lie down on the bed. He pressed one hand on Owen's lower abdomen, urging his vital energy with all his might. However, he found that Owen's body was in an abnormal state. His vital energy was flowing everywhere, and Owen's face was alternating between red and white. Although the blue aura didn't deepen, it didn't show any signs of subsiding either.
Owen opened his red eyes and panted, saying, "Alright, Dumb, don't transfer so much vital energy. Just maintain a little bit."
"Uncle, you're okay, right? Rest well and don't talk too much. You'll definitely get better, "Dumb asked with concern.
Owen shook his head gently and said, "Dumb, listen to uncle. Uncle has a lot to tell you. If you don't say it now, it'll be too late."
Tears flowed from the corners of Dumb's eyes. He shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no, uncle. You'll definitely be fine. You'll definitely get better."
A smile appeared on Owen's face and he said, "Child, everyone will die one day. I'm already over 60 years old, so death won't be considered premature. However, I still have a lot of unfulfilled wishes. I hope you can help me fulfill them. I'll be satisfied. "
Dumb choked with sobs and said, "Tell me, uncle. Dumb will definitely work hard to fulfill your wishes."
Owen let out a sigh and said, "Uncle's life is truly shameful. It was completely absurd. When I was young, I was full of vigor and relied on my decent martial arts to travel around the continent. In order to get more wealth, I joined an assassin organization, which is the assassin organization of the continent. At that time, I was young and frivolous, and I didn't know what fear was. I committed a few major crimes and caused a sensation. However, because I wasn't cautious enough, I exposed my identity and became a wanted criminal of the four empires. From then on, I could no longer live the life of an ordinary person. I was trapped in the assassin organization and couldn't get out. When I was 27 years old, I had already reached the level of an assassin. When I was 37 years old, I became the leader of the assassin organization's extermination team. Although there aren't many assassins in the assassin organization, each of them is very skilled in martial arts. Moreover, they are all skilled in concealment and assassination. They are divided into four teams. The highest level is the extermination team, followed by the ninja team, the assassin team, and the assassin team. "
Owen panted a few times, and Dumb quickly increased the amount of vital energy he channeled into him. Owen glanced at him, and his blood-red eyes revealed some sorrow.
"Uncle, you should rest for a while. Don't talk for now."
Owen shook his head and said, "If I don't talk now, there won't be a chance. After I finish, you must quickly leave this place. I don't expect you to remember every word I say, but you must listen carefully. This concerns your future. Other than the four regular teams that carry out missions, there is an even more mysterious team in the assassin organization. The one who intercepted us earlier with a silver skull on his chest is them. They are called the Prime Killers in the organization. The so-called Prime Killers are the senior level assassins. They are all over 60 years old and have retired after reaching the level of an assassin. The organization will support them until they die. Of course, because they have many years of experience as assassins, and each of them have outstanding skills, they will still be dispatched when they encounter some special missions. These Prime Killers have an extremely high status in the organization. Only the Lord … Ah! No, only the president of the assassin organization can mobilize them. I'm not sure about the number of people, but it shouldn't be too many. Today, I killed six, so I estimate that there will be at most six more. The one with the golden skull on his chest is the vice president of the assassin organization. You've seen his skills. If I didn't use the Hell King Sword, I wouldn't be his match at all. "
Dumb asked, "Uncle, is that vice president your enemy?"
Owen's blood-red eyes widened, and he said hatefully, "He's just one of them. The other one is the president of the assassin organization. He is also called the Lord by all the assassins. I've been in the organization for so many years, but I still don't know his true identity. He's the one who destroyed my originally peaceful life and ruined my life. " His body suddenly spasmed and twitched non-stop. His entire body exuded a monstrous hatred. After a while, Owen continued, "Speaking of which, I have to tell you about my secret. Dumby, open the front of my shirt."
Dumb was stunned, but he still did as he was told. He carefully opened the front of Owen's blood-stained shirt. There was a tear in the middle of his shirt, and there was a slight bulge inside, as if there was something inside.
Owen took a deep breath, and a white light flashed across his face. He forced himself to press on his back, and the bulge in front of his chest moved. He carefully took something out from the tear in his shirt. It was a black leather bag, with a long leather belt passing through it. The leather bag was about five inches long, and a black sword hilt was exposed. The hilt of the sword was engraved with all kinds of complicated symbols, and there was a black gem at the end of the sword. The gem was glowing, and a faint evil aura was constantly emitting from it.
Owen looked at the exposed sword hilt with infatuation, and sighed, "This is the Hell King's Sword that uncle relied on to become famous on the continent." He grabbed the hilt of the sword and took out the Hell King Sword from the leather bag. The black scabbard had a lifelike white dragon engraved on it, but this dragon did not have any scales, only a skeleton. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, looking exceptionally strange. Especially where the dragon's eyes were, there were two gems that flickered with a faint blue light. When he took it out from the leather bag, although it was not unsheathed, the evil aura around it suddenly increased. Even with True Qi protecting his body, Dumby still unconsciously shivered.
"This leather bag hasn't left my body for nearly forty years. My nickname, Hades, also came from this sword. This sword is the most evil and evil thing in the world. Although it gave me unparalleled strength, it also indirectly destroyed my life. That year, I was twenty-seven years old. Since I've been practicing martial arts since I was young, I could already be considered an expert. When I was young and frivolous, I liked to take risks and wandered around the continent with a group of companions. Coincidentally, we entered an ancient treasure trove. Although it was filled with traps, it still piqued our interest. After nearly a month of hard work, we finally entered the hidden treasure. There wasn't any treasure like we had imagined, but only a huge Demon Sealing Array. The Hell King's Sword was suspended in the middle of the array. It was only later that I understood that the purpose of the Demon Sealing Array was to seal the evil aura of the Hell King's Sword. We tried many methods, but we were still unable to break the Demon Sealing Array. For people like us who liked to take risks, how could we just give up? Finally, after more than a month of hard work, we found the core of the Demon Sealing Array. When we destroyed the core, the huge evil aura engulfed the lives of our companions. As for me, because I had been practicing the Divine Art of Life and Death since I was young, I was spared. The Hell King's Sword seemed to have spiritual energy as it floated in front of me. The deaths of my companions deeply touched my heart. I originally wanted to put the Hell King's Sword back into the Demon Sealing Array, but it was a pity that the array had already been destroyed and couldn't be repaired. At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the cave. Even until now, I could still clearly remember that voice. It was a sound transmission spell left behind by an advanced magic spell. The voice said that it was the fourth generation Pope. At that time, he accidentally found the Hell King's Sword and was almost engulfed by its huge evil power. With his power, he wasn't able to destroy the sword, so he could only set up the Demon Sealing Array with a few cardinals to seal the Hell King's Sword. He said that if anyone broke the Demon Sealing Array, they would become the sinner of the world. They must not let the evil power of the Hell King's Sword wreak havoc. They must become the Hell King's Sword's protector. When the Pope obtained the Hell King's Sword, he also obtained two scrolls. One of them was the method to use the Hell King's Sword. As for the other scroll, even he couldn't understand it. I calculated the time. When I obtained the Hell King's Sword, it was at least a few thousand years old. You must know that the current Pope is already the 28th generation. "
Owen excitedly looked at the evil sword in his hand and sadly shook his head. The story of the Hell King's Sword also piqued Dumb's interest. As he blocked the evil aura from his body, he couldn't help but ask, "Since this sword is so evil, why did uncle still use it?"
Owen smiled bitterly and said, "This is human desire. Although the Hell King's Sword is evil, it also contains a strong power. With this kind of power, one can become a peerless expert. As someone who loves martial arts, how could I resist this kind of temptation? In the cave, I opened up the method to use the Hell King's Sword and learned two of the moves according to the description. At that time, I didn't fall as deep as I did later on. I was still able to keep the Hell King's Sword as Pope said and not let anyone see it. This leather pouch was personally made by the Pope. It has the effect of suppressing the evil aura, so when the sword is in the pouch, the evil aura isn't that obvious. " As he spoke, he put the Hell King's Sword back into the pouch and the evil aura disappeared. Dumb immediately let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, the blue color on Owen's face had deepened and his body was still trembling. It was obviously a sign that the Peerless Holy Water was starting to take effect.
"Uncle, the poison in the holy water seems to be starting to take effect. You should take a rest first. I'll help you suppress it with my battle qi."
Owen shook his head, "There's no need for that. It's like the bone marrow and belongs to the Arbiter of Fate. Uncle can't be saved. Let me finish what I have to say. Otherwise, even if I die, I won't be able to rest in peace. All of this has been bottled up in my heart for too long. When I was twenty-seven, I had already cultivated the Life Chant to the fifth realm, which is the realm that you will soon reach. Although my skills aren't as good as yours, I still can't fight against a true expert. My parents passed away when I was a child. They died tragically in the tsunami. I was taken in by my master while I was wandering around. My master is one of the five famous Sword Saints on the continent. His skills have already reached the realm of Transcendence and Sainthood. After obtaining the Hell King's Sword, I wanted to return to my master's side as soon as possible and continue to cultivate. However, on the way, I met a group of bandits who were looting a small village. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes. At that time, I still had a sense of justice, so I didn't say anything and rushed forward. When I had killed most of the bandits, their leader appeared. I never thought that there would be such an expert in that remote and desolate village. In just a dozen rounds, I was already heavily injured by him. He saw through my sect, and in fear of my master's revenge, he decided to kill me to silence me. In that moment of life and death, I thought of the Hell King's Sword. It was the Hell King's Flash that shook the heavens and earth. Under my control, I attacked. Because it was my first time using it, I didn't have a complete grasp of it. Not only did I kill my opponent, the Hell King's Sword's evil aura also absorbed all the remaining lives in the village. It was also because I recklessly used the Hell King's Sword that my life changed. "Speaking up to here, Owen's face was filled with pain.
Dumb blankly asked, "Everyone in the village died?"
Owen nodded and painfully said, "Yes, they all died. Not a single person survived. They all turned into dried corpses. The Hell King's Sword's evil aura was too overbearing. When I woke up, I found that everyone in the village had turned into dried corpses. That scene almost drove me crazy. I had never killed so many people before! At that time, I swore that I would never use the Hell King's Sword again. It took more than a month for me to recover. On the way back to my master's place, I met people from the Assassin's Guild. I don't know how they found out that I had the Hell King's Sword, but they kept pestering me to join them. At that time, I was a disciple of a righteous sect, so how could I join them? I flatly rejected them and sent them away. But who would have thought that because of this, the person I loved the most was humiliated to death. " Owen tightly gripped the hilt of the Hell King's Sword. His body constantly trembled as a monstrous hatred rose from his body. His blood-red eyes flickered with a layer of black gas.
Raising his hand, Owen stopped Dumb from speaking and continued, "My master had two children, a boy and a girl. His daughter was the person I loved the most. Although I was like a wild horse, always training outside, there was always a thread that pulled my heart, and that thread was her. The woman I loved the most. When I returned to my master's side, my junior sister's death was like a bolt from the blue. It shocked me so much that I couldn't control myself. My fellow apprentices all said that my junior sister died because of me. Indeed, if it wasn't for me, why would my junior sister leave the mountain to train? She was looking for me! In the end, in a small city, my junior sister was plotted against. She was — — raped — — then — — killed — — "Owen gritted his teeth, and his blood-red eyes had already turned a faint greyish-black color. Dumby couldn't breathe under the weight of such a shocking amount of hatred and evil.
After a long time, Owen's emotions gradually calmed down. Red tears flowed from his eyes, "My junior sister died, and I didn't even know who the murderer was. I ran out like a madman, asking everyone I saw, "Did you kill my junior sister?" I searched everywhere like a madman. Just as I was about to collapse, the people from the Assassin Union found me. They told me that if I joined their Assassin Union, I would have to tell them who killed my junior sister. At that time, my heart was already filled with anger, and I agreed without hesitation. Thus, they brought me to find my junior sister's murderer. It was a noble from the Sunset Empire. He didn't hide it at all. I didn't use the Tiangang Sword Technique that my master taught me, but instead used the evil Hell King's Sword. That night was stained with blood. There were 123 members of the noble family. Other than that noble who died under my sword, the souls of the others were also devoured by the evil Hell King's Sword. Due to the evil influence of the Hell King's Sword, I resolutely joined the Assassin Union and became an assassin. Ten years, a whole ten years! Only then did my consciousness recover from the vitality of the Life Technique. However, I was already unable to extricate myself. The title of the continent's number one assassin was already on my head. No matter where I went, I was an assassin whose hands were stained with blood. Dumb, Uncle is a bad person, isn't he? Uncle has killed so many people. "
Dumb's heart had long been shocked by Owen's story. His brain seemed to have stopped thinking. He shook his head blankly and said, "No, I don't know. I really don't know."
Owen said, "My entire life, it's really …. 30 years of being an assassin ruined my life. A few months before I met you for the first time, I accidentally overheard the conversation between His Lord and the vice president. Their words revealed a truth. So, so, so, my junior sister's death was actually planned by them. It was all for the sake of winning me over to become a member of the Assassin Union. I hate it, I hate it so much! Why was I so stupid at that time? I wanted to rush in and take revenge, but my years of experience as an assassin allowed me to remain clear-headed even when I was the most furious. Even if I used the Hell King's Sword, I might not be a match for His Lord and the vice president. Thus, I chose to assassinate them. I wanted to wait for an opportunity to suddenly attack them and take revenge for my junior sister. "
Dumb looked at Owen in shock and murmured, "Conspiracy, was that actually a conspiracy?"
Owen nodded his head in pain and said, "Yes, it was a conspiracy. Dumb, you're really too kind. In this dog-eat-dog society, kindness will only get you bullied. Perhaps my expression revealed a flaw, and His Lord actually found out that I knew that secret. Of course, he wouldn't let me threaten his life, so he quietly invited me to drink. Ever since my junior sister died, apart from killing people, wine has become my everything. I drank the wine that he handed me, but I didn't expect that the wine would contain the continent's most mysterious poison, the Peerless Holy Water. After I drank the wine, His Lord, no, that bastard didn't hide anything and told me the truth. He didn't kill me, but asked me to consider it. He said that if I was willing to let go of my past hatred, he would give me the antidote for the Peerless Holy Water. "
Dumb was stunned and said, "But there's no antidote for the Peerless Holy Water!"
Owen nodded his head and said, "I know, but under those circumstances, I could only agree to consider it. Later on, I found an opportunity to escape. That b * stard sent my twelve Exterminators to kill me. You saw what happened in the Forest of Illusions. Now that I think about it, that bastard might have a similar method of suppressing the poison as you did. However, even if he could really detoxify my poison, how could I wag my tail and beg for mercy in front of my enemy? "
After a pause, Owen continued, "Dumb, do you know why Uncle was able to kill all those people? Only the Vice President managed to escape. "
Dumb said, "Uncle's skills are profound. Those bad guys are naturally not your opponents."
Owen shook his head and said, "No. With my current strength, I can deal with two at most. Even if I'm at my peak and use the Hades King's Sword, my strength can only support me to kill five. Do you still remember your Toppling the World Strike? That method of compressing all of one's potential. Today, I used that method. Without thinking about the consequences, I completely compressed the True Qi in my body. At the start, I didn't retaliate, I just compressed my True Qi. The sudden burst of energy was really strong. I actually used the fourth form of the Hell King Sword. It's a pity that by the time I used the fifth form, the burst of energy had already been exhausted. Heaven's will! I used all of my skills, so naturally I couldn't control the poison in my body. The True Qi in Uncle's body had already dried up. The poison of the Peerless Holy Water had already begun to take effect when I used the Hell King Sword. If it wasn't for you using your True Qi to support my body, I would have died a long time ago. It's a pity that I didn't kill the Vice President as well. This Hell King Sword will be yours from now on. Consider it as Uncle's last gift to you. "Saying that, he handed over the leather bag.
Dumb thought about the evil of the Hell King Sword and said with some fear, "No, Uncle, I don't want it, I … …"
How could Owen not see through Dumb's thoughts? He sighed and said, "Child, the sword is sinless. Although the Hell King Sword contains evil energy, it is very suitable to use it to kill bad people. After many years of research, Uncle discovered that Vitality True Qi is the nemesis of this evil energy. It is also because Uncle cultivates Vitality True Qi that he can never be invaded by evil. When you cultivate the Vitality True Qi to the eighth layer, you can control the evil energy and won't easily harm the innocent. " As he spoke, Owen took out two pieces of sheepskin from his sword bag. "These two pieces of sheepskin, one of them is the cultivation method of the Hell King's Sword Art Nine Formulas, and the other is something that even the Pope couldn't understand. You have to study it carefully. According to my estimation, this piece of sheepskin should contain some of the secrets of the Hell King Sword. The Hell Chant can be said to be the strongest sword art in the world. It has a total of nine moves, and it must be used with the Hell King Sword to unleash its full power. As for the specific cultivation method, you can figure it out yourself. It's not hard to cultivate, but the key is to control the evil energy and not harm yourself. "Saying that, he put the sheepskin back into the sword bag and handed it over to Dumb for the second time.
Looking at the hope in Owen's eyes, Dumb, who was filled with disgust for the sword, reluctantly took it.
Owen let out a sigh of relief. This Hell King Sword had been with him for dozens of years, and he was already filled with feelings for it, even if it changed his life.
Owen took out a small booklet from his bosom and handed it over to Dumby, "Dumby, from today onwards, you are the guardian of the Hell King's Sword. In your hands, the Hell King's Sword can only be used to kill evil people, understand? This is the cultivation method for the last few stages of the Life Chant. Take it and practice it diligently. Without the protection of the Life Chant, you can't casually use the Hell King Sword. Uncle's Life Chant has already reached the eighth stage. When I'm at my peak, I can use the first two moves of the Hell Chant many times. If I use all my strength, I can use the fourth move, Hell Shadow. Out of these nine moves, each one is stronger than the previous one. Perhaps even a Heavenly God might not be able to withstand the last move. When you reach the fifth stage of the Life Chant, you can try to practice the first move, Hell Flash. The Hell King Sword moves the heavens and earth. In the past, uncle used this move to kill countless people. Every time you reach the next stage of the Life Chant, you can continue to practice the next move. This is the only way to ensure that the vitality in your body won't be invaded by the evil energy. Now that things have come to this, uncle doesn't hope that you can help me take revenge. You're too kind, so how can you fight against those bastards? Unless your life is in danger, don't use the Hell King Sword easily. Once you use it, you must kill everyone who sees it. Only then can you protect yourself, understand? Maybe when you reach the ninth stage of the Life Chant and learn the fifth move of the Hell Chant, you can fight against those bastards. "
