Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son - Chapter 1135

Chapter 1135: War God’s Berserk Method

“What’s the Holy Sword Graveyard?”

Feng Yao created another Qi screen. “That is the Holy Sword Graveyard.”

The Holy Sword Graveyard is a vast, open mountain filled with swords of all shapes and sizes. Most are rusted, but a few still emit a faint glow and oppressive aura. The ground is uneven and marked with deep cracks and slashes, remnants of fierce battles fought here long ago.

The area is eerily quiet, except for the occasional metallic hum carried by the wind. The graveyard is said to be the final resting place of countless sword masters, their weapons left behind as a mark of respect. The lingering sword intent makes the air heavy and dangerous, and those without strong will or sufficient sword mastery risk serious injury just by entering.

In the center, there was a giant sword stele, with four golden chains chaining its hilt in four different directions.”

Zhang Fei [5] was amazed as he looked at those countless swords, but the giant sword stele piqued his interest more. Even the Sky-Severing Sword vibrated strongly when the screen displayed that place. “A sword stele?”

Feng Yao nodded at him. “It looked like a useless sword stele, but it was actually a real sword. Unfortunately, no sword master has ever managed to take that sword, and it is believed that doing so would grant the power to control all other swords in the graveyard.”

“What kind of sword is that? Why is it so large? Is the giant race the owner of that sword?”

“The true giant race is always confident in their physical strength, and they never use any weapons. In battle, they always use their bare hands, and their raw strength can destroy half of this domain.” Feng Yao then created another screen, displaying a middle-aged man controlling the sword stele. He could adjust the sword’s size to that of a normal sword or enlarge it significantly. “He was the first sword master to perfectly comprehend the Sword Dao, and people of the past nicknamed him the Sword God, especially since his abilities were truly flawless and unmatched. He called it the Sword of Nothingness, especially since everything hit by the sword’s slash would be reduced to nothingness, be they living beings or inanimate objects.”

“A sword that can reduce everything to nothingness.” Zhang Fei [5] muttered under his breath in awe and shock.

Unlike Zhang Fei [5], Puyang Shangren was more curious about Feng Yao’s identity. “Who exactly are you, Empress Huo? Not even the ancient races know the name of that sword, let alone its owner, but you possess memories of him, proving that you are older than the ancient races.”

“Hehe.” Feng Yao replied with a giggle to Puyang Shangren, further fueling his curiosity about her identity. She then removed all the screens. “Try to unsheathe the Sky-Severing Sword.”

“Is it okay, Senior?” Zhang Fei [5] asked Puyang Shangren first, especially since the sword was his.

Puyang Shangren took the sword and handed it to Zhang Fei [5]. “Even though I work as a merchant, I am a god-rank sword master. Therefore, I can tell that you are also one, but it does not guarantee that this Sky-Severing Sword will be willing to recognize you as its master.”

“I understand.” Zhang Fei [5] received the sword and grabbed the hilt straight away. Before trying to unsheathe the sword, he first used his sword domain and sword dao. Unfortunately, the sword didn’t move an inch, as if it were one with its sheath.

Zhang Fei [5] didn’t want to give up so easily, and he tried several other options to unsheathe the sword. Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain, and the sword remained motionless. “I guess this sword doesn’t like me.”

“Hahaha.” Puyang Shangren laughed as he received the sword, and he placed it back in its original place. “There are countless god-rank sword masters in my realm, but no one has succeeded in unsheathing the sword, including me. If you have many sword masters by your side, you can take them to the auction in three days, and they can try unsheathing it at that time.”

Zhang Fei [5] nodded. “There are several god-rank sword masters by my side, including my master. Although I still don’t want those people to know them, I will bring them to attend the auctions, and I hope that one of them will succeed in winning this sword’s recognition.”

After After waiting for some time, the two pills finally took effect on Puyang Shangren and the Ancient Leiyu Tianlu. The man immediately washed the black liquid off, dried their bodies, and took out a mirror.

“Are you satisfied with the results, Senior?” Zhang Fei [5] asked with a faint smile.

“Will I really never grow old again after today?”

“I guarantee the results will be permanent.” Puyang Shangren nodded and handed the Abyssal Demon Heart to Zhang Fei [5], who immediately stored it into the system inventory. “Thank you, Senior.”

[Obtained 1 Abyssal Demon Heart.]

“Since Tianlu and I have swallowed your pills, you can choose some other items from my collection, and I will consider their prices.” Zhang Fei [5] excitedly started selecting several items from Puyang Shangren’s collection. “What do you think if I bring him to the ancient realm, Empress Huo?”

Feng Yao shook her head in refusal. “He has been focused on his seclusion since he ascended to this realm, and he has no experience here. I want him to stay here before he reaches the Celestial God Realm, and I will take him to the ancient realm when he is ready.”

“I see.” Puyang Shangren nodded in understanding.

“By the way, is there something going on with the Ancient Nether Clan? Why did they send someone to invade the Three Mortal Realms in secret?” Puyang Shangren looked at Feng Yao in shock, prompting her to explain to him about Zhang Fei [5]’s encounter with the mysterious woman from that clan in the Sovereign Heaven Realm years ago. “I haven’t set foot there for too long, so I don’t have much information about the situation there.”

“Actually, the Ancient Nether Clan almost became extinct.” This time, it was Feng Yao’s turn to be shocked when she heard that from Puyang Shangren. “No one knows what really happened to them at that time, but three-quarters of their clan members died overnight, and their remaining number was no more than fifty. Strangely, we found no traces of battle on their clan or corpses, and the people who examined their corpses said they died in their sleep.”

Feng Yao furrowed her brows, but Huo Ling spoke directly to her. “Master, the only person who can do such a thing to them is that guy, but I found it strange for him to slaughter so many people from the Ancient Nether Race in one night.”

“Yes.” Feng Yao agreed, recalling the man that Huo Ling was mentioning. “I also felt strange about his actions, especially since he’s not such a cold-blooded killer.”

“Who is the person you two are talking about?”

Feng Yao told Puyang Shangren directly. “Puyang Shenmi and the people of her generation nicknamed him the Nightmare Lord, mainly because all of his abilities were related to dreams. His true name is Meng Zhou, a hybrid between a female human and a dream demon, but he never kills people without reason.”

“Hmm?” Puyang Shangren frowned, as he had heard Meng Zhou. “Are you sure that man is their killer?”

Feng Yao nodded at him. “If your previous words are true and those people died in their sleep, I am certain that Meng Zhou is their killer. However, I don’t know his reason for doing so, and you can ask your clan members to investigate him.”

“Alright, I’ll have them investigate that man later.” Puyang Shangren then told her something else. “The woman you were referring to earlier might be Yuan Xiajie, especially since she’s been missing for so long, and none of their race has managed to find her. Her father was the former leader of the Ancient Nether Race, and she said that she wanted to take revenge against that person before she disappeared.”

“I see.” Feng Yao nodded in understanding.

After some time, Zhang Fei [5] had chosen four items, which were two pills, a weapon, and a scroll. “Are these items equivalent to my four pills, Senior?”

“Let’s see.” Puyang Shangren looked at the items one by one before taking a scroll from his hand. “This War God’s Berserk Method is truly dangerous, and only a high-level body cultivator can learn it. Ordinary cultivator can learn it, but the risk is too great, and you will become a cripple if you use it rashly.”

Zhang Fei [5] replied to him directly. “Actually, I’m a body cultivator, and my body cultivation level has already reached the Diamond Body Stage. Additionally, I’ve mastered seven body cultivation techniques, so I chose this method. However, I don’t know if my four pills are enough to redeem all these items.”

Feng Yao confirmed that to Puyang Shangren, who immediately returned the scroll to Zhang Fei [5]. “You sure are insane, little boy! Honestly, the total of these four items is more expensive than your pills, but since the effect of your pills is permanent, I will give them to you. However, you must remember my advice well: do not use the method if you don’t have to, or you will waste your talent if you become a cripple.”

“Thank you for your advice, Senior.”
