Chapter 160: Myriad Swords Chart
【[Protagonist Fortunes Halo] : As the protagonist, it's nothing out of the ordinary to stumble upon a divine artifact while meeting a peerless master. After activating the halo, the chance of encountering fortuitous events increases when the host is in various relics and secret realms, with a significant boost in effectiveness! 】
Huh… I killed a demon, shouldn't I get something like a "Protagonist Demon Slayer Halo"? Why is it a Fortunes Halo?
Su Zhan was somewhat surprised, but then he smiled.
Clearly, the Fortunes Halo was much more powerful than some garbage Demon Slayer Halo. Moreover, it had a significant boost in effectiveness in relics, secret realms, and similar places. It seemed like it could come in handy right now!
Thinking this way, Su Zhan activated the Fortunes Halo.
However, nothing happened.
That was normal because if activating the Fortunes Halo resulted in fortuitous events every second, he wouldn't need to do anything; he could just wait for the events to come to him.
Su Zhan didn't dwell on it and used his consciousness to retrieve the two blood eyes from a distance. The demon had been completely obliterated, but these blood eyes could still be preserved, indicating that they must be special in some way. Su Zhan decided to keep them for further examination.
After observing them, he didn't notice anything particularly special and stored the blood eyes in his storage space for future study.
Then, he turned his gaze toward Muguang and Bloodfang.
When the two of them noticed Su Zhan's gaze, they trembled in fear, feeling terrified to the extreme. Earlier, when they saw that the blood-eyed demon couldn't be killed, they still held onto a glimmer of hope, thinking that maybe the demon could turn the tables. But now, all hope was gone.
All that remained was fear, an overwhelming fear!
"You two…"
"Lord Su Zhan, spare us! I'm willing to be a servant for you!"
"Lord Su Zhan, the Saintess of our Blood Demon Sect is unparalleled in beauty and possesses outstanding dual-cultivation techniques. I'm willing to introduce her to you. Please spare my life!"
Muguang and Bloodfang both pleaded in terror. After witnessing Su Zhan's peak strength, they had lost all thoughts of escaping. Because whoever ran first would be the one to die first. It was that simple.
The Blood Demon Sect… what right did they have to call someone a Saintess? Su Zhan remained unaffected, and with the Golden Thunder Bamboo Sword, he killed the heavily injured Muguang and Bloodfang. These two had released demons and attempted to harm innocent lives. Moreover, the most critical point was that they ruined his beloved clean clothes!
They deserved to die!
"Su Daoist's might is unmatched. I had heard about some powerful beings being reborn and different from ordinary people, and I didn't believe it. But now, after seeing you, Su Daoist, I truly believe it!" Chu Xuanyi walked over and sighed. "Su Daoist, in your previous life, you must have been a great figure in the Spirit Realm to be so extraordinary in this life."
"Chu Daoist, those are just swindlers' words. How can you believe them?" Su Zhan smiled.
Swindlers' words?
But the problem was, that seemed to be the only reason that could explain why Su Daoist was so abnormal! Chu Xuanyi thought to himself.
Then, he said with excitement, "Su Daoist, now that the demons have been exterminated, we can enter the Void Palace and search for treasures!"
"Sure," Su Zhan nodded and glanced at the people who were kneeling and worshipping him. He said, "You don't have to do this. It was the malicious intention of the demons and the Blood Demon Sect that ruined my clothes and tried to kill me. So, I had to kill them. I'm not doing it for you."
And that was the truth.
If it wasn't for the Blood Demon Sect and the demons attacking him first, he wouldn't have fought the blood-eyed demon. After all, he didn't know any of these people. Who knew if there were villains among them even more sinister than the Blood Demon Sect?
However, when this statement reached the ears of those martial mrtists in the Fish-Dragon Realm, they thought Su Zhan was just making excuses. Who would risk their lives just because their clothes got ruined?
As for the demons trying to kill Su Zhan, he could've just run away! The reason he stayed and fought the demon was because he had a sense of righteousness!
With this understanding, Su Zhan's image in their hearts became even more magnificent. Grateful tears flowed from one person after another.
"Lord Su Zhan clearly exterminated the evil demons and saved our lives, but he is so casual about it and doesn't care about fame. Truly the demeanor of an ancient saint!"
"We are indebted to Lord Su Zhan's grace. If there is anything we can do to help in the future, just let us know, and we will surely lend our full support!"
"Since Lord Su Zhan is going to enter the Void Palace to search for treasures, then we shall take our leave! My life was saved by Lord Su Zhan anyway, so I have no face to compete with him for treasures!"
"You are right. I won't participate in any competition with Lord Su Zhan either!"
"This time, I'm already fortunate to have saved my life. I wouldn't even dare to think about the treasures in the Void Palace!"
…
The martial artists stood up from the ground, bowed to Su Zhan, and expressed that they would not vie for the treasures with him.
In reality, it wasn't a matter of whether they wanted to compete or not. They simply didn't dare to. A being that was truly invincible below the Saint level, competing with such a formidable individual? It was practically seeking death!
After each martial artist respectfully bowed, they turned and left.
Seeing this, Su Zhan didn't say anything either. These people didn't want to contend with him, and it spared him the trouble. Otherwise, he might have ended up killing some people again.
Shaking his head, Su Zhan withdrew his gaze and walked towards the Void Palace. Just as he took a step, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the Void Palace.
Then, the entire Void Spirit Hall began to tremble!
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, a massive scroll flew out of the Void Palace.
It shot straight up into the sky, and then the scroll suddenly opened.
The already extremely large scroll expanded once more, becoming tens of miles wide and tens of miles long It covered the sky, shrouding the entire square below!
Su Zhan looked up and could only see a nearly solid layer of golden light. After two seconds, the golden light dispersed, and he finally saw that above the scroll that covered the sky, there were countless swords.
Just at this moment, the sword that his eyes were fixated on suddenly emitted a dazzling light. It burst out from the scroll and flew towards Su Zhan.
Feeling the astonishing sword intent emanating from the sword, Su Zhan's gaze narrowed. He activated the Limitless Stellar Body technique and threw a punch.
"Boom!"
The space trembled violently from the force of his punch.
However, the sword seemed as if it didn't exist at all. It passed through the starry fist energy and penetrated through his body!
Suddenly, Su Zhan felt a headache as if a powerful sword intent had struck his mind.
This sword intent…
Recalling the moment when the sword pierced through his chest, Su Zhan felt not fear but delight. Although he endured the pain of being penetrated by the sword intent, his physical body was not actually damaged. In other words, these swords were attacking his spirit!
Moreover, during the attack of the sword intent, he could feel that his comprehension of the sword path seemed to have strengthened by a bit.
Su Zhan pondered the profoundness of that sword intent, thinking of the "Myriad Swords Chart" that Chu Xuanyi once mentioned. He couldn't help but ask, "Daoist Chu, this scroll—"
"The Myriad Swords Chart! This is the top treasure of the Void Palace, the Myriad Swords Chart! How could it be spontaneously activated?!" Before Su Zhan finished speaking, Chu Xuanyi was already exclaiming in panic.
