Chapter 2: A Sword

Beside the stream, the bloodied man swung his sword frantically for a while after swooping into the air, and finally stood in place like a walking corpse.

The sword he held in his hand seemed to be alive, glowing a strange blood-red.

Strands of blood spread across the blade like cracks, extending to the man's hand, wrapping around the man's palm and even his forearm like roots.

But the man didn't seem to feel anything about it, and after standing for a while, he turned and sat down beside a large rock.

And the long sword is drawing life force from the man.

After a while, the man with an increasingly withered face fell to the ground, turning into a dried corpse, and the long sword in his hand was stuck diagonally on the ground, gradually restraining his own evil, and turning into a simple iron sword that was not surprising.

Back to Hades.

Ever since Ning Quan discovered the magic of the iron prison, he began to think about how to use it.

It's a pity that the stamina after using it is a bit big, and he still has a bunch of messy sounds in his head now, but fortunately, it is also very quiet in the hell prison, and that messy sound can make him less lonely.

After a short break, Ning Quan tried several more times and summed up a little experience.

He could reach the Evil Thoughts Bearer by touching the bars of his cell.

Not only can you see the environment of the other person, but you can also communicate with the other person.

And because he didn't seem to be disembodied, he couldn't be harmed, and likewise, he couldn't feel anything, and his soul remained in the underworld, and its form in the world was like a black phantom, and he could walk freely without hindrance, but he couldn't touch anything, and he couldn't bring anything back.

It's like he's looking at other people's lives from a third perspective.

It's just that he can communicate with the observed.

The stronger the creature, the more aware of his presence.

Also, he found that every time he found someone through evil thoughts, he could choose at will, but due to the large number of evil thoughts, he seemed to be opening a blind box every time.

Moreover, the target of evil thoughts is not only people, but also various other living beings.

Once he ran into a demon beast that was fighting for territory, and as soon as he passed, he was slapped in the face, and it was this time that he realized that he would not be harmed.

In addition, only one exchange was obviously not enough for him to confirm whether the target was valuable.

Therefore, the direction he is working on now is to make his goals no longer random.

In other words, it is to allow him to communicate with the same target as he wants, and only in this way can he get what he wants from a worthy target—something that will allow him to escape from the underworld...

So far, the only way he has made progress is to determine the approximate goal according to the degree of evil thoughts.

For example, distinguish between beast mortals, cultivators and demon beasts.

But the more experience you have, the more you need to try, before you can start to sum it up.

So, after the break, he started trying again.

Similar to the first time, the whole person seems to sink into the water, sinking little by little in the calm deep sea, until the bottom of the sea...

With each use, this feeling becomes more and more intense.

It's like a fish back in the water...

In the bottom of everyone's heart, there is a little unspeakable evil thought.

And he is walking through such a sea of evil thoughts...

Of course, it is not so much evil thoughts as all negative emotions, fear, despair, hatred, etc., which are sins that cannot be avoided in the world.

The ugliness of the world is all here...

And he just happened to be able to read it.

From this, he also peeked into the various weaknesses of the human heart.

Every wisp of evil thoughts flowing through him, he could feel the negative emotions contained in them, and even through this wisp of evil thoughts, he could see the environment of the person who emitted them.

And this time, he chose a target with the strongest killing intent to pass, hoping to see if he could find a fixed target.

With a burst of illusions that surfaced, his vision became clear again.

This time the scene was somewhat familiar to him.

The stream, the woods, just one less man who was shouting and killing.

But he soon found the man in the grass... of corpses.

It seemed that the man was dead, and he still had the long sword he had swung before, and the strong killing intent was emanating from it.

"A sword?"

"A non-existent person?"

The long sword suddenly whispered softly, and a woman in red gradually appeared next to the long sword, her thin white fingers tapped the hilt of the sword, and a pair of blood pupils were looking at him indifferently, as if exploring his secret.

Ning Quan was a little surprised, to be honest, this was the first time he had seen this situation.

"Sword Spirit?"

"Evil cultivators?"

The voice of the woman in red was as cold and dangerous as her temperament.

It's just that the other party seems to regard him as an evil cultivator, but in essence, he is still an ordinary mortal... All ghosts will be recognized as evil cultivators, probably because he peeks into the world through evil thoughts.

Explanations are probably not going to do anything.

So, he didn't bother to speak.

"Saying that I am an evil cultivator, you are not a sword spirit, and you actually killed your master." Relying on the fact that he would not be harmed, Ning Quan approached the woman's side, that is, next to the long sword, and looked at the corpse at the woman's feet with great interest.

As he became more exposed to evil thoughts, he could clearly perceive his transformation.

Corpses are nothing anymore.

"He's not my master." The woman in red indifferently denied this claim.

Because there is only one master of her.

And the black phantom in front of her gave her a very uncomfortable feeling, like a pure evil thought walking in the world, or a powerful evil being who was using this evil thought to spy into the world.

But she wasn't afraid.

After all, she had seen all the powerful existences, and it could even be said that in her heyday, she was already the pinnacle of existence in the world on her own.

It's a pity that her strength has not fully recovered until now, and it is far from enough to rely on killing and absorbing the lives of sword slaves.

But she's a little numb now.

"And who is he?"

"A person who is seduced by power and ends up as a slave."

"It's tempting." Ning Quan looked at the woman, saw the graceful and enchanting figure, and the cold face, and nodded thoughtfully, "Then why did he die?" ”

"I have absorbed the blood and soul energy, and the god form is destroyed." Although she couldn't see the other party's face, just hearing such meaningful words, the woman in red was already upset with this guy.

But she didn't do anything.

Not only is most of her strength not recovered now, but more importantly, the other party's body is not here.

"Having said all that, who are you? Why? ”

"Did I say, I'm going to tell you, who am I?"

“...”

"Just kidding, I'm the one who came to help you out." After Ning Quan saw the woman's suddenly tightly knit brows, he hurriedly got back to the point, wanting to see if he could get something beneficial to himself from the woman in red.

In the current situation, if the woman in red can maintain this murderous aura all the time, then he can indeed use the other party as a long-term conversation partner.

"Help me solve the problem? What's wrong with me? The woman didn't seem to have any interest.

But if there's really no interest, I won't ask the question.

Ning Quan was well aware of this.

So, he smiled meaningfully.

"This one slave is dead, you still need the next one, right?"

He could clearly perceive that in this strong killing intent, there was a deep loneliness, which was the bitter cold of being alone in the wind and snow, and the loneliness of being forgotten in the corner.

To put it simply, a friend is needed.

So, he continued: "Look here, in the wilderness, how long will you wait for someone?" ”

"This man is the owner of Linfeng Tower, do you think his death will not cause any movement?" The woman in red replied indifferently, although she couldn't see the other party's face, she could also hear the playfulness in this tone, which made her extremely unhappy.

So, she retorted.

But these words fell on Ning Quan's ears, but they meant something else.

Obviously, the other party does not lack a slave driven by power, but that is not a friend.

Moreover, it also made him aware of the opportunity.

He didn't know what kind of force Lin Fenglou was, but it shouldn't be a small force to have such a terrifying and killing sword.

You must know that the killing intent exuded by this sword is extremely clear and pure in a bunch of chaotic evil thoughts, and you can really find him, not just perceive it.

This has never happened in the first few attempts.

To be a sword slave of this grade of sword, the strength is definitely not bad.

The exercises of the forces behind it are definitely not bad.

What does he want? Isn't it just jailbreaking? Doesn't it take some strength and a body to escape from the underworld?

Now is the right moment!

Although it is not possible to designate the physical body, can the sect master of a sect have a little advanced cultivation method? At least let him figure out how to cultivate, right?

Isn't that exactly what he needs?

So, his conditions are there, and the rest is the conditions of the woman in red.

"So, are you going to go on and on? From the hands of one slave to another, what are you killing them one by one? Do you like that? ”

"I am a sword that kills."

The woman in red said this fact in a declarative tone, she was created to kill, and it is the same now, except that she will turn those who are eroded by her power into a sword slave, and then suck it dry to restore her own strength, there is nothing to like or dislike, it is just nature.

But Ning Quan made a new proposal.

"You don't want to... Have a friend who shares your heart? Instead of waiting for the next kill, as you are now, you can follow your friends and see something better. ”

The woman in red had already heard the meaning of the words, and the other party was testing what she wanted to do, and then in exchange for achieving her own goals.

But I have to say that she is indeed a little moved.

But she has seen a lot of this kind of person, and she just wants to use her power, and this kind of trick to deceive the little girl is useless to her.

Therefore, she said sarcastically: "You want to say that you came to be my friend and help me get out of the sea of suffering?" ”

The woman in red smiled charmingly, even if it was a sneer.

Ning Quan had to admit it.

But he swore to heaven that he had absolutely no idea of beating the woman in red, and that the old man on the ground was the best example, and even if he wanted to, he would not be able to bring the sword back to the underworld.

So, he vetoed on the spot: "No, no, I mean, how about we make a deal?" I'll help you find a friend, and you help me get what I want. ”
