Like a thunderbolt in the dry ground, a sudden roar echoed over the entire university city and the city of Weijing, as if summer was releasing its authority over spring. The city of Weijing was so vast that the sound did not carry far, but on the Mountain of War Gods, a terrifying presence looked up at the sky. Even though the sky was clear at the moment, the presence could still feel it.
"Ku Jian! Also known as the Sword of Life and Death, no one knows where it comes from. There are rumors that it grew from the tree of the ancient earth spirits, nurtured by the sword soul and sword aura of the Sword Tomb, but from abundance to decline, it became the Ku Jian!" Mas Walker thought of the treasure of the sect in the God Sword Sect, which appeared at this moment, but apart from him and Darnus Leo, it was probably difficult for anyone else in the world to control it.
Across the federal lands, numerous high-level ability warriors looked up towards the unknown location, feeling an inexplicable oppression in their hearts.
The huge milky-white light sword was composed entirely of scattered sword soul and sword aura. At this moment, a sword pierced into the Sword Tomb, instantly rushing into the withered wood. The milky-white light sword contained an extremely powerful vitality, and the withered wood, rough and unsightly, quickly turned green, growing leaves in patches. Suddenly, as the leaves withered and fell, they turned into soil and disappeared.
Barrett Walker dodged the large stones and looked at the growing trees, reaching out to pull them, only to suddenly emit bursts of green smoke. Barrett Walker, in pain, jumped a few steps away, looking angrily at the small tree. As it grew to be slightly thinner than an adult arm, it quickly withered, its surface appearing as if coated with glaze. Singe Phoenix and Glena also stopped, looking at the empty Sword Tomb, where the accumulated sword soul and sword aura had also been completely absorbed. Their hearts were filled with regret and frustration, and they looked at Barrett Walker with great disapproval.
"I said long ago that he should be expelled and not allowed to come here. Look! The sword aura and sword soul of thousands of years have been lost in an instant, and nothing is left." Glena's face was very unpleasant. All the treasures accumulated in the Sword Tomb had been absorbed by the Ku Jian. Wasn't this akin to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs?
"Enough, don't dwell on it. What is meant to be will be." Singe Phoenix's face was very calm, just patted Glena's shoulder, bypassed the large stone, and carefully examined the Ku Jian, looking at Barrett Walker on the opposite side of the large stone, but did not make any indication. Suddenly, she reached out and lightly touched the Ku Jian. Before her fingertips could touch it, a strong suction force came, and she quickly withdrew her hand, only to see that the skin and nails on her fingers had completely withered, devoid of any blood color, like a large piece of dead skin. She quickly grabbed Glena and said, "Danger! Don't get close."
The two women quietly observed the Ku Jian. Glena took out a wallet from her body and threw it over. Instantly, the stylish wallet made of cowhide turned into ashes, as if it had been burned by a fire, causing the two of them to frown. Had the Ku Jian undergone so much nourishment from the sword aura and sword soul, and still not recovered, remaining dead instead of alive?
Barrett Walker's wound quickly healed, and he, somewhat incredulous, reached out his hand again, grabbing the Ku Jian. Instantly, his hand emitted bursts of green smoke, and the arm holding the Ku Jian quickly shrank and withered. However, the powerful regenerative force within Barrett Walker's body quickly infused into the withered arm. The sword and the person were locked in a struggle within his body. This might sound long, but in reality, it was very short, so short that even the two women did not react. In this moment of stalemate, Barrett Walker exerted force and pulled the withered wood out of the stone crevice. The roots were intricately woven like a dense network, and as soon as it emerged from the soil, they quickly converged towards the main trunk, forming a small ball at the root, not sharp like a sword, but continuously undulating and growing, as if the root had turned into tentacles like an octopus, quickly entwining Barrett Walker's hand.
Suddenly, Barrett Walker felt a piercing pain in his hand. He saw the roots entwining him continuously expanding, like snakes devouring food, and within those roots, countless blood-colored flows surged, like blood vessels.

"Release it quickly, or you will be drained," Singh Phoenix and Glena quickly reminded. How could he be so reckless? But it also counts as an understanding of this person's characteristics after transformation.
At this moment, Barrett Walker also wanted to shake off this thing, but the suction came, as if it had become a part of him, like another part of the newly connected body, in urgent need of blood. Even though Barrett Walker has transformed now, the fainting situation in his mind has become even stronger, but in the end, Barrett Walker still endured it, knelt heavily on one knee with his sword, and gradually shrank back to his original form, but the swollen clothes could no longer be worn.
Looking at the calm sword in Barrett Walker's hand, Glena's expression was very complex. This is the treasure of the Sword Sect, and even though the Sword Sect has long been destroyed, it is difficult for her to accept that it has fallen into the hands of an outsider, even though the person in front of her is her student and likely to become her junior brother. This thought always makes her feel indignant.
"Enough, don't dwell on it. Aren't these divine swords looking for their own masters? Perhaps it is not only his luck that the Life and Death Sword found him, but also the luck of our Warrior Academy!" Singh Phoenix patted Glena's shoulder, but his eyes caught a glimpse of a flash of cold light, quickly slashing towards the exhausted Barrett Walker. Singh Phoenix had no doubt that this sword could take Barrett Walker's life, so he quickly shouted in anger, and his cold blue sword swiftly followed: "Who dares to do this!"
As swift as a startled swan, Singh Phoenix's sword blocked horizontally, like a gust of cold air whistling past, ready to freeze everything. Barrett Walker felt the danger, but he was empty inside, with no power to fight back, yet he raised his hand to strike back. But with a light snap, the sword in the other person's hand was knocked away, and Singh Phoenix's sword pierced towards the person's neck. Suddenly, it stopped, lingering on the skin of her neck, with a little more blood, but a little less space! It could be seen how powerful Singh Phoenix's control over the cold blue sword was, as the cold air inside the sword kept attacking the skin, causing tiny bumps to appear.
"Mabel, how could it be you?" Singh Phoenix asked in surprise. If it wasn't her, she would probably have been stabbed to death by the previous sword.
"Why not me?" Mabel asked in return, trying to move the tip of Singh Phoenix's sword with her hand, but it didn't budge, so she had to give up, looking back at Singh Phoenix calmly.
"But does it have to take this long?" Singh Phoenix not only didn't remove the sword, but pushed it in a little, instantly piercing Mabel's skin, freezing the wound before it even bled.
Mabel shivered, looking at Singh Phoenix incredulously, her face filled with deep anger. "I raised you from a young age, played with you, took the blame for you. Is this how you repay me? Is it because I'm old and useless that you want to discard me like garbage?"
"I dare not, I just want to know the real answer," Glena said, with an expression of reluctance, reaching out to tug at Singh Phoenix's sleeve, but Singh Phoenix remained motionless, his face expressionless.
"Fine! If you have the guts, just stab me!" Mabel suddenly raised her voice, echoing like a lion's roar in the sword mound. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been so scared that their sword would have trembled and stabbed her to death!
"She doesn't dare to stab, I will." Barrett Walker suddenly stood up, completely naked. If it were in a different place or with different women, he would probably have been mistaken for a thug, but it was clear that these three women were not ordinary people, as they showed no reaction at all. But when Barrett Walker quickly stabbed the Life and Death Sword towards Mabel, all three of them changed their expressions at the same time.
"Don't!" Glena exclaimed.
"Stop!" Singh Phoenix shouted, and the cold blue sword in his hand slashed towards the sword coming at Barrett Walker.
"You dare!" Mabel quickly retreated.
"Ah! Roar!" Barrett Walker suddenly stomped fiercely, causing his body to rapidly expand. The force of his foot caused the sword mound to tremble three times. His withered sword swept horizontally like a burning stick, clashing with the cold blue sword with a resounding ping. The cold blue sword was knocked flying, and Barrett Walker quickly leaped over Mabel's head, then turned and sent her flying, unconscious, to the ground.
Barrett Walker stepped towards her, but suddenly his body weakened and transformed back, unable to change back again after several attempts. His body simply lacked the necessary strength.
Singh Phoenix and Glennah lifted the unconscious Mabel, passing by Barrett Walker. Glennah gave him a fierce glare, filled with a warning, while Singh Phoenix spoke: "When you leave later, it would be best to wear clothes and not take this back with you. Leave it here, and take it when you need it. This is their home!"
Barrett Walker watched the three of them leave and suddenly shouted at Singh Phoenix, "No! You are wrong. This is their home, but it is not where they should stay."
Singh Phoenix's footsteps faltered slightly, perhaps this was the reason it chose an outsider after all!
