Chapter 256: Overlord Sword Recognizes Its Master, Forum Legend
"After three thousand years, I have finally found someone who can bear my sharp edge. If you touch the hilt of the sword, you will gain the power to create the world... if you have the courage."
A murderous aura filled my face and a domineering voice rang in my ears.
But Qiao Wu thought Ba Jian was a fool.
It feels like the liar is still working hard on writing the script, while he, as a viewer, has already seen the finale in advance.
He found that Qiao Wu was still observing him but did not take any action.
The Overlord Sword suddenly shook, and light and shadow suddenly appeared around the sword.
Countless shocking scenes were played out in the light and shadow like a kaleidoscope.
In the first scene, on a purgatory battlefield, the Overlord Sword pierces through an ancient magic dragon that is a thousand meters long.
Dragon blood poured down like a river from the sky, and every drop of it corroded a bottomless hole in the ground.
The sword holder stood at the dragon's head, and with a turn of the sword, the entire continental plate cracked, and magma gushed out to form new mountains.
The scene jumps to the depths of the starry sky, with the Overlord Sword suspended among the broken galaxies.
Six shattered stars surrounded the sword, and the hot star core energy was wrapped around the blade like a tamed pet.
At this moment, the Overlord Sword chopped down suddenly, and a terrifying star beast was cut in half by one sword, and the wound was as smooth as a mirror.
The scene jumped again, and in the center of an ancient altar, hundreds of millions of warriors were kneeling. The swordsman stood at the top, splitting the clouds with one sword, and lightning wrapped around the blade.
Then the sword-wielding man flashed and started fighting with a golden statue that reached from heaven to earth.
Every collision caused the heaven and earth to shake, and finally the statue's head was chopped off, and the moment of falling turned into billions of meteor showers, while the divine blood stained on the sword's edge was gradually magnified in the image.
All the images were accompanied by the sound of swords that struck his soul. When Qiao Wu watched the images, he always felt as if there was a voice whispering in his ear:
"Hold me...you will have it all...control the supreme power."
But when he thought of the truth, he couldn't help but sneer.
Hearing Qiao Wu's laughter, the images surrounding Ba Jian suddenly disappeared.
"Poor little guy, your fingers are frozen and you can't even hold the weapon steadily, right? Don't worry, I will warm your palms."
"You are pretending to be your mother." Qiao Wu couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Although this broken weapon has a hunting level of 103, in Qiao Wu's opinion, it is only a transitional weapon even if he brings it back to the village.
It is far inferior to the rune resonance weapons forged in my own village.
Perhaps the only valuable things are the materials, as well as the huge evolution points and sacrifice power gains after killing.
But the problem is that he obviously doesn't have the ability to kill Ba Jian.
Even if Ba Jian stood still, he couldn't break through the defense.
His main soul is an eagle-headed demon.
If a real fight breaks out, he will only get beaten and will be sent back to the village and locked up in a small dark room for an hour.
There is even less point in continuing to act with Ba Jian.
Ba Jian needs to draw strength from the host's pain. He doesn't like pain, either physical or mental.
It would be too painful to endure pain while acting.
As an exploration player, the happiest time is on the road of exploration. Fighting and killing is not advisable. What is the use of this Overlord Sword?
Thinking of this, Qiao Wu ignored the Ba Jian and began to think about how to use the Ba Jian to make a profit for himself.
At this moment, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Ba Jian likes to draw strength from pain.
Speaking of pain, we have to mention the painful brothers among the players in the same village.
Although these two guys are low-key, they are quite well-known in the forum, especially among veteran players.
He learned about these two players when he was browsing the early popular posts on the forum.
The specific time of his fame can be traced back to a year ago.
When the Pharmacist Guild was first established, it developed the first generation of gene seeds in order to earn profits from players.
As soon as it debuted, it sparked heated discussions in the forum.
At that time, old players did not have a large number of functions available to them like they do now, and the function of practicing combat skills had not yet been launched.
There are only three ways to gain body building experience.
The first way is physical exercise. The experience gained from physical exercise is minimal and can be regarded as ineffective growth.
The second way is to convert the sacrificial power into body-building experience, the ratio is 1:1, and it is more expensive.
The third way is to eat spiritual plants, which is the most luxurious way to gain body-building experience in the eyes of old players. At that time, there were no spiritual meals, and many players chose this route in order to enjoy the taste of spiritual plants, but the cost was expensive.
But the emergence of gene seeds has allowed players to see the possibility of saving sacrificial energy to gain body-building experience.
At that time, a gene seed could bring about 15% of the cost price plus physical training experience.
Unfortunately, the aftereffects of the first generation version of the gene seed were too severe.
Consumption can cause serious damage to the body.
The most terrifying thing is the intense pain caused by consuming the gene seeds, which is more unbearable than death.
Especially after a player purchased it and started cursing at it on the forum, veteran players would not dare to easily try the extreme pain brought by the gene seeds.
But there are two players who are exceptions.
They are also two of the legendary figures in the early days of the forum in the eyes of veteran players.
In order to save on sacrificial energy, they behaved like the toughest of tough guys, choosing to endure the pain and eat the gene seeds.
They want to gain an advantage in growth and be one step ahead of other players.
At that time, due to some comments on the forum, I said this: If we don't make enough, we can make up for it by quantity. You think we are fools, but we only make a few dollars by killing evil spirits. The body-building experience I earn by showing off my gene seeds is more than what you earn by killing evil spirits in a day.
This behavior also makes them called genetic macho men, genetic supermen, and painful brothers by forum players. They can be said to be the chosen ones of the injury-bearing gameplay.
The Painful Brothers are also the first two players in the player camp to obtain special souls.
Possesses the ability to release Touch of Pain to inflict real damage.
In the days that followed, they basically did not appear in the forum.
But their stories are still circulating in the forum.
At this time, Ba Jian needed to find a host, and Qiao Wu suddenly felt that these two brothers were a perfect match for Ba Jian.
With an idea in mind, he immediately called up the forum interface and began looking for the contact information of the two brothers.
At this time, Ba Jian found that Qiao Wu had not responded, and his patience was exhausted:
"Boy, I have been asleep for three thousand years and have woken up. You are favored by me. This is a rare opportunity in your life. Do you want to give up?"
The sound of Ba Jian rang in Qiao Wu's ears, like an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life sighing and feeling sorry for him.
After he finished speaking, the snow around the Overlord Sword melted silently, revealing the corroded frozen soil underneath. The cracks on the sword's spine looked like bloodshot pupils opening, looking towards Qiao Wu.
The light released from the blood-red pupils projected a picture in Qiao Wu's eyes.
A figure similar to Qiao Wu stood there holding a sword. Wherever the sword flashed, the mountains and rivers changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light.
"I see that you have extraordinary talent, but you are trapped in the shackles of the mortal world. Today is your chance, why not..."
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Wu, who was dissatisfied with Ba Jian's repeated promises, sighed:
"Don't worry, I have something to finish."
As he spoke, Qiao Wu, who had already found the contact information of the Painful Brothers, sent a friend request.
Soon, the friend request was approved, and Qiao Wu quickly opened the dialog box:

The one who hit me was a dog: What’s wrong? (Explorer Confused.jpg)
Click to skip the plot: Brother, the situation is like this, I am an exploration player, and I encountered an opportunity when exploring the winter snowfield area, but I may not be able to enjoy this opportunity, but I thought that you brothers can definitely bear the pain. Now Ba Jian wants to recognize him as my master, but I am afraid of pain... So I came to contact you specially, intending to sell this opportunity to you (Screenshot of Ba Jian's analysis).
The one who hit me was a dog: (T ^ T) Why do you think of us two brothers when you see pain? But I really like this opportunity. Name your price, buddy. Don't make a random offer. We two brothers have neither a team nor real financial resources. We all work hard to earn money. It's too much to treat us like pigs.
Click to skip the plot: So, 30,000 sacrificial power, what do you think? The subsequent plot may make you ten times or a hundred times more. This is a rare hidden plot.
The one who hit me was a dog: Brother, you really treat us brothers like pigs, asking for 30,000 sacrificial power. Do you know how many credit points 30,000 sacrificial power can be exchanged for? This offer is too dishonest.
Click to skip the plot: Don’t you have the inheritance from old man Kuxing? You should be quite rich.
The one who hit me was a dog: He spent all the old man’s inheritance on himself, and it was all spent more than half a year ago. Now we are poor, and the price is too expensive so we won’t buy it.
Click to skip the plot: How about this, I'll take a step back and give you 25,000 sacrificial power. If it's any lower, I'll just grit my teeth and take the sword myself and continue with the hidden mission. You also have to think about it, when you triggered the hidden mission, you earned the special soul + the legacy of Mr. Ascetic, and now you have another chance, so cherish it.
The one who hit me was a dog: Okay, just 25,000. Accept the task first and then transfer the money. Give me the coordinates.
Click to skip the plot: Winter Snowfield area (coordinates).
……
After the deal was done, Qiao Wu couldn't hide the joy on his face.
But the smile on his face seemed to Ba Jian to mean that he had finally realized his own appeal.
Ba Jian was about to speak, but Qiao Wu suddenly said with a serious expression:
"Sorry, I don't like swords."
Hearing these words, Ba Jian's anger rose.
It is now seriously injured, and in order to bewitch the weak creatures in front of it, it releases its qi and blood energy to weave an illusion.
But the result was rejected.
This was also the first time it saw a weak creature facing it without a trace of greed in its eyes. It even felt that there seemed to be a hint of contempt in its eyes.
Feeling angry, it suddenly developed murderous intent.
If this weak creature chooses to refuse, then its only value will be to become its own nourishment.
But just as Ba Jian was about to take action, he heard Qiao Wu say with a smile:
"But I can find a host that is more suitable for you and I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
"Who do you think I am?!" The sword roared like thunder, shattering the ice crystals around it.
"A piece of scrap metal picked up from the roadside? Or a stupid mortal soldier at your mercy?!"
The cracks on the sword's spine bulged like blood vessels, and dark red light flowed wildly, as if it was about to suddenly attack and deliver a fatal blow in the next moment.
But in Qiao Wu's eyes, such threats were nothing.
The only thing I'm afraid of is that after finally getting here, if I end up in a small dark room, I'll have to run again.
However, in order to stabilize Ba Jian, Qiao Wu, who knew Ba Jian's needs, immediately said:
"It's one of my tribesmen, carrying a deep blood feud and extremely thirsty for power. I think you are more suitable for it." Hearing about the deep blood feud and thirst for power, the murderous aura on the surface of the Overlord Sword suddenly dissipated.
While feeling excited, the tone of his mouth did not drop:
"Humph, a mere mortal body, are you worthy of my condescension to accommodate you?"
"However, if it is true as you said, this person has a blood feud and a tough character, I am not incapable of giving him some consideration."
Realizing that Ba Jian's heart was moved, Qiao Wu immediately smiled:
"Wait for me here. I will go find my people and come to see you."
"can."
Qiao Wu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ba Jian's agreement.
He had no idea whether the hidden mission would be successful after being assigned to the Painful Brothers, and he was afraid that the mission would end early.
After getting Ba Jian's clear answer, he suddenly became excited.
This means that the twenty-five thousand sacrificial powers have been secured, and I will be able to enjoy spiritual food feasts every day for some time to come.
With joy in his heart, Qiao Wu summoned a colorful skateboard and flew straight into the sky.
Watching Qiao Wu's leaving figure, Ba Jian became alert.
Because there is a possibility that the other party wants to harm it, so it leaves and returns to its tribe to seek support from within the tribe.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that this possibility is not high.
If the other party really has this idea, he can choose to hold the sword temporarily and then take it back to the tribe.
In any case, it felt that it had to be prepared to evacuate at any time.
With very little energy left in its body, it only has one chance to escape.
But it still can't figure out one problem.
Why did this weak guy still give up holding the sword after being influenced by his own mental bewitchment and demonstrated his power?
Are there really creatures in this world who don't desire power?
At the same time, Qiao Wu, who had left, contacted the Painful Brothers again and explained the situation.
the other side.
Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng were browsing the forum in a small dark room.
It’s not that I’m unwilling to take on the hidden mission as soon as possible, but the journey is too long, and even if I rely on a vehicle, it will take a day and a half.
Therefore, you can only choose the most convenient and fastest Kokuroya train, which goes directly to Tezuka Village.
After an hour of waiting, they were resurrected at the teleportation point in Dizhong Village and decisively jumped to the Winter Snowfield area through the portal.
After contacting Qiao Wu, we sent out a team formation application and set off immediately.
The journey is long, and even with the help of the flying sword vehicle it will still take half a day.
After a long flight, they passed through the biting cold wind and landed on a snowy field.
From a distance, Qiao Wu could be seen sitting cross-legged on an ice rock with a steaming hot pot in front of him.
"You've arrived just in time." Qiao Wu smiled and picked up a piece of meat, waving his chopsticks at them, "These are the last two pieces of Tianhai carp. If you're any later, they'll be gone."
Jiang Cheng's mouth twitched.
They were exhausted from the journey, but this guy actually had a hotpot in this extremely cold place.
It is obvious that he has determined that the 2.5 sacrificial powers will definitely be obtained.
"Let's go, we don't have time to eat." Jiang Cheng said unhappily.
After briefly explaining the plan, Qiao Wu led Jiang Cheng and Xia Sheng to an ice valley surrounded by wind and snow.
In the center of the ice valley, a dark red broken sword was inserted diagonally into the frozen soil. The dark red evil spirit surrounding the sword was particularly eye-catching in the heavy snow.
"That's it. It feeds on its host. It's up to you to decide how the story will unfold. Anyway, remember what I said. It likes pain."
Jiang Cheng heard this and turned to look at his good brother Xia Sheng:
"Unfilial son, wait here for me, your father will be right back."
"Why don't I hold the sword? You wait here for me."
"What's mine is yours. When I die in the future, all my inheritance will be yours." After saying that, Jiang Cheng walked quickly towards Ba Jian.
Behind him, Xia Sheng raised his middle finger.
At this time, Ba Jian had already sensed Jiang Cheng's approach, and the sword body was trembling.
Jiang Cheng came straight to Ba Jian and stood still, saying in a deep voice:
"I need power!"
After he finished speaking, a thin red mist appeared on Xia Sheng's body.
The blood pattern on the Overlord Sword suddenly lit up. It could feel the extremely suppressed painful emotions in this young man, like a volcano about to erupt.
This is exactly the host it has always dreamed of.
Judging from the strength of his qi and blood as well as his mental strength, this guy poses no threat to him.
Coupled with the endless anger and pain buried deep in the heart, it is simply a perfect cauldron.
"Interesting, but what makes you think I would choose you?"
Jiang Cheng raised his head and responded in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Because I'm willing to give anything. Soul? Life? Take it as you like."
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng reached directly for the hilt of the sword.
Ba Jian did not refuse.
After being grasped by Jiang Cheng, the hilt of the sword burst into a dazzling bloody light, and a barb suddenly pierced into Jiang Cheng's palm. The blood was absorbed by the sword body before it could even drip.
At the same time, part of the power of the Overlord Sword was injected into Jiang Cheng's body and flowed through the body with the blood.
"The contract is done. From now on, you will hold the sword."
At this time, Ba Jian quickly shrank to a size that matched Jiang Cheng's body, and a greedy laugh came from deep in his heart.
But the laughter soon stopped.
It found that it was unable to read Jiang Cheng's inner thoughts at all.
The rule-derived energy implanted in Jiang Cheng's body can only detect his blood flow information.
Feeling depressed, Ba Jian thought he had encountered a host whose body structure was not compatible with his.
Such cases are rare in the history of the Artifact Clan, but they have occurred.
At this time, Jiang Cheng also raised the sword in his hand, facing the aurora in the sky, and carefully looked at the fierce soldier.
Although the sword has been shrunk to one and a half meters in length, the evil spirit emanating from its surface has not diminished in the slightest. The dark red lines slowly move on the sword's spine like a living thing, emitting an eerie luster.
The blade was not sharp and was covered with fine cracks, which showed that it had been severely damaged before.
Jiang Cheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his wrist, pointed the sword downward, and stuck the sword on the snow like a crutch.
This made Ba Jian immediately annoyed, but he did not say anything.
There will be plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future.
Next, it needs to understand the detailed situation of the host, and then develop a series of torture methods until it completely collapses and dies painfully in despair.
Secondly, the most important thing now is to restore strength.
It immediately told Jiang Cheng that it hoped he would use it to hunt blood and qi life forms and repair the damaged sword.
When Jiang Cheng asked why Ba Jian was damaged, Ba Jian's answer made Jiang Cheng roll his eyes.
The sword of the Tyrant Sword trembled slightly, emitting a deep and long sword sound, as if it was caught in some ancient memory:
"When I was at my prime, I once cut through the Demon Sea with one sword, and my sword energy spanned 30,000 miles..."
The blood veins on the sword's spine flowed along with Ba Jian's narration, casting a blurry image in the air.
A ray of sword light could be vaguely seen cutting through the sea and sky amidst the huge waves.
"As for this wound, it was left during a decisive battle with a certain supreme being. That battle shattered seven small worlds. Although I cut off his head, I was also injured by his life-defining magic flame, and the previous host also died because of it..."
Listening to Ba Jian's story, Jiang Cheng felt contempt in his heart.
This broken sword has been put back together.
With the help of the analysis function, he could guess how the previous host died using just his toes.
There is a high probability that he was killed by this insidious broken sword.
After successfully receiving the sword, he decisively fulfilled his promise and transferred the 2.5 sacrificial powers to Qiao Wu through a transaction.
The transaction was completed, Qiao Wu left on a skateboard with a smile, and Jiang Cheng also began to look forward to the progress of the next hidden mission.
At this time, Xia Sheng came from a distance and asked curiously in the voice channel:
"Rebellious son, what's the situation now?"
"It can be considered as recognition of the master, but this is essentially a cover. There is no challenger prompt at all. The Rune Resonance Weapon is absolutely bound to us. The binding of this broken weapon is just a way to deceive the host's trust. It is meaningless."
After hearing Jiang Cheng's answer, Xia Sheng also seemed a little depressed:
“It won’t be a loss.”
"No, let's first see how this broken sword grows. If we are not satisfied, I will make it feel extreme pain, then kill it and put it on the trading floor to sell materials. It has over 100 hunting levels, so it will definitely not be a loss."
"Add me when you kill, double pain combined, true damage to slay gods and demons."
After a brief exchange in the team channel, the Painful Brothers had already preset the future direction for the seriously injured Ba Jian.
If you are still useful, keep living. If not, you will die in pain and despair.
At this time, Ba Jian saw Xia Sheng approaching and was also very curious. He asked in a deep voice:
"Who is this?"
"My good brother, we grew up together, so we are half brothers." Jiang Cheng explained immediately.
"It seems like you have a deep bond."
"Of course. In this life, we can share everything except my wife."
After hearing Jiang Cheng's answer, Ba Jian bared his fangs and an evil plan was born in his mind.
"It's good to have deep feelings."
The deeper the feelings, the more painful it will be when you lose them, especially when you kill your beloved brother with your own hands!
Recalling the scene of its previous host hugging "Li" and wailing in despair in the rain, it felt that it could have another feast of negative emotions this time.
