Chapter 1823Chapter 1823
“Nobody is immortal, and life is unpredictable. I can die without regret if I get to do the things I love.”
Jared kept a faint smile and showed no signs of being scared by the woman.
He was determined to enter the tomb of swords, regardless of whether it was a sacred sword or a
demonic sword in there. After all, no matter what it was, it would end up being devoured by his
Dragonslayer Sword anyway.
The woman sighed as she saw Jared's determination and stated, “You might be destined for this. It will
be the true tomb of swords once you enter this location. The sword energy there is hundreds of times
more potent than it is right now. Please think about it thoroughly...”
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman began to fade away before finally disappearing entirely.
“Jared, I believe it would be best for you to enter by yourself. I'm worried that with my current abilities,
going in would put a burden on you because I would require your protection.”
Flaxseed was terrified.
His entire body would likely be torn apart by the sword energy if what the woman had mentioned about it
being hundreds of times stronger there was true.
Jared gave a nod. “You wait for me here, Mr. Flaxseed. You can head back without me if I don't appear
after three days.”
novelbinAfter hearing that, Flaxseed quickly responded, “Jared, you have to return. What will happen to your
women if you're gone? Imagine how miserable and pitiful they will feel. You must survive and make it
out.”Jared was speechless. Can Flaxseed think about anything other than women?
“I'm going in...”
Once Jared began to go forward, Flaxseed lost sight of him as Jared's form gradually blurred and
vanished.
The sword energy grew greater after Jared had advanced a certain distance. In front of him, the ground
was covered with long swords.
Although they appeared to be stabbed into the ground randomly, the swords were actually arranged in
an ordered fashion.
Jared could also sense the ceaseless clashing of two opposing auras within this tomb of swords.
The scene in front of him was no longer made up of dead branches and leaves. Instead, he could see
new branches and leaves growing rapidly on the large trees.
However, as soon as they had fully developed, they were abruptly cut off by the raging sword energy.
The two forces appeared to be engaged in a back-and-forth battle.
Jared pulled out the Dragonslayer Sword and frantically absorbed the raging sword energy. As a result,
the trees' branches and leaves grew quickly until they were ultimately covered in luxuriant greenery.
“It appears that this location is not as deadly as the woman claimed, but thankfully, I am carrying my
Dragonslayer Sword.”
Jared's face was filled with joy.
Suddenly, he felt a murderous aura. In a flash, he focused his gaze on a spot in front of him.Soon, a man with a sword in his hand slowly approached Jared.
The man had a pale face and lifeless eyes. Other than a murderous aura, no other aura emanated from
him.
At a glance, Jared could tell that the man should be one of the sword marionettes that the woman had
mentioned.
If the body was still there when someone was murdered by sword energy, the body would be refined by
the energy, eventually leading to the formation of a sword marionette.
The sword energy would take control over the body, turning it into a puppet without any thoughts or
consciousness, much like a zombie.
It was also completely fearless of being attacked because it could not feel pain and was dead.
Due to the sword energy controlling it, a sword marionette would not respond even if its limbs were
severed.
Jared was a little worried at encountering this kind of creature. After all, the sword marionette had no fear
of death. It would not react at all even if Jared used a sword to strike through its body.
Other than being cut into bits, there was no other way to defeat it. Finding the source of the sword
energy and cutting it off was the only other option to vanquish it. From what he could tell, though, it would
be challenging to locate the demonic sword.
