The Villain's Story Chapter [396] Emperor of Swords[1]

Chapter 396 [396] Emperor of Swords[1]

"Murim…will live on!"

Alan retracted his spear from the chest of the Beggar Sect leader, The light in his eyes dimmed, and he died.

The surroundings were a complete mess, buildings, and deep chasms filled the forgotten city.

Alan fell down on his a.r.s.e and collected his breath.

He was tired. No doubt about it.

It was not easy fighting the Wudang Sect master, he may have defeated the Wudang sect master but that didn't mean he was unscathed. The blessing the Phoenix bloodline provided him was not with him now, and he couldn't heal himself with the effects of the [Blood Shadow mantle] because the Martial artists had been corrupted by the shadow. The blood they shed was not capable of being absorbed by the [Blood shadow Mantle] so he couldn't use the skill Siphoned Resilience…

He was slowly growing tired, and the fact that he was poisoned didn't help him much.

"d.a.m.n it…"

Alan sighed, as he looked at his abdomen and lower body, all black.

The shadow had corrupted him as well, and the Tang Clan master that he fought on the 24th floor was a menace. He used his life to enhance the influence of the shadow on Alan, as well as poison Alan with all sorts of poisons…

It hurts…

"Ha…I'm not even halfway there yet…"

Alan sighed as he lay down on the ground, his chest heaving up and down.

The fight against the Wudang Sect Master was exciting.

The fight against the Tang clan leader was arduous, The poison he used still had an effect on him…if not for the fact that he was a dragon and not a human…he would have already died.

A dragon's resistance was amazing.

[The Supreme Dragon of Chaos says mere poison like that will disappear soon.]

Suleras's words comforted Alan a little, He shrugged and said.

"Yeah…thank G.o.d."

That wasn't it though.

The Tang Clan Leader was troublesome indeed…but he wasn't the only one responsible for this state Alan was in.

The Mount Hua Sect Leader, on the 23rd floor.

The Zhuge Leader, on the 25th floor, used entire armies of Shadow Legion to attack him.

The Kongtong sect leader on the 26th floor also used a spear. Alan learned quite a bit from that fight as well.

The Blood demon he fought on the 27th floor…and the Masters of Qinggong and Beggar sect leader here on the 28th floor.

He was tired. The fact that he didn't have a lot of time to rest during the trials made everything harder… He needed to clear the 29th floor fast and hope the tower didn't immediately transport him to the 30th floor like the 20th floor. He hoped it wouldn't do that.

Alan had heard all of the sect leaders mutter the name of the Heavenly demon, even in the rewards for clearing the floor something about it was always written about the heavenly demon.

Each and every martial artist he fought seemed to know his name…each and every one.

And they seemed to revere him… Alan opened the reward book he gained. The Mutterring of the wandering beggar seemed to increase as he cleared the floors.]

[Mutterings of the Wandering Beggar.]

[The beggar's sect has been overwhelmed, the Leader has fallen to the Heavenly demon.]

[The economy of Murim is falling, the Shadow Plague has dealt us a hand we can not imagine, and we require the a.s.sistance of the Heavenly demon to dispel the curse of Shadow.]

[The Sect Leader of Wudang, once the Sword of Wudang has clashed with the Heavenly demon, Ma Cheon, I observed the duel and the Lord Of Wudang lost in 10 strikes. The Heavenly demon had cut through the principles of Wudang in 10 strikes, he had understood the principles of Taoism in a flash and laid waste to them. The heavenly demon has cut Wudang.]

[The Wudang sect's disciples have fallen again and again against the war of the Shadow. Murim lies divided…I fear we will all die if someone stronger than all the arrogant elders at the top steps up…]

[Mount Hua has fallen…The Plum Blossom sword was defeated by the heavenly demon and has lost his arm, ending his career as a martial artist. The Mount Hua sect will soon fall to the shadows without the help of the Plum Blossom sword. I fear Murim will fall sooner than expected.]

He wondered why the Mount Hua sect leader lacked an arm…The heavenly demon had it off.

The same Heavenly demon…had also done so many other things according to the diary.

[Sichuan launched an Attack on the Heavenly demon…but the poison of the Tang clan was useless, the Zhuge clan and the Tang clan formed an alliance and attacked the Heavenly demon but failed miserably…thousands of martial masters fell by his black blade and he split the Mountain of Plums apart…He is terrifying.]

[Kongtong Sect has failed to suppress the blade of the HEavenly demon with their Spear, The spear truly can't be compared to the mighty sword.]

"Hah?!"

Alan felt insulted when he read this. The spear cannot compare the blade? What bulls.h.i.+t was this?

'The spear is an amazing weapon! The Kongtong b.a.s.t.a.r.ds just didn't know how to use it!'

He thought, forgetting the fact that he learned some useful things from the Kongtong sect.

He continued reading, clearly angry. He wondered when the Tower would send him to the next trial.

[I tried to form a relations.h.i.+p with the Heavenly demon… but his gaze looks so distant from the world…

Could he have done it? Could he have reached the heavens…or even above them?

I do not know. I am scared of him, his ebony black hair reminds me of the dark knight, and his scarlet red eyes remind me of the seas of blood Murim has seen…His entire figure looks so charming, more beautiful than even the Demoness of l.u.s.t, but…he possesses contrasting qualities to his appearance.

Beware of the heavenly demon…The Sword Emperor has charged forth, alone. He wishes to challenge the Heavenly demon alone.

The heavenly demonic sect will stand in his way…But I think he will surpa.s.s the sect easily.

I am afraid.

What will happen to Murim when the two strongest clash with one another..? Will the seas suffer? Will the heavens be split and the earth shattered?

I fear the Sword Emperor will lose…

Murim will fall.

The heavenly demon will prevail…he wishes to end the suffering the world has experienced…and we are the ones who caused the suffering.

May…who can even help us…we are martial artists…not religious devotees.

Let only Steel remember the history Of Murim.]

"..."

Alan had a mixed expression on his face as he read it. Only to be replaced by surprise a few seconds later.

[You have cleared the trial of the 28th floor, The Trial of Beggars and Qinggong.]

[You are being transported to the 29th floor, Trial of the Emperor of Swords.]
