From Sword to Slaughter: Evolution

Zhang Tianchong's demonic blade was radiating a menacing aura filled with bloodlust.

Ren Xing's Demon-Slaying Sword exuded a sinister, demonic energy.

The two powerful forces seemed to clash in the air, creating an intense pressure between them.

"This demonic blade has become much stronger after killing so many people," Ye Fan observed in surprise.

"But it's just a weapon crafted by the natives of this world, right?"

"I'm different from ordinary weapons," Ye Fan said coldly.

As the upcoming battle loomed, he was determined to shatter Zhang Tianchong's demonic blade in the clash.

"Ren Xing, that sword of yours seems to be a demonic sword too," Zhang Tianchong said, his gaze locked on Ren Xing.

"Hehehe," Ren Xing chuckled as he eyed Zhang Tianchong across the battlefield.

"My sword, once it absorbs your blood, will become even sharper."

"Zhang Tianchong, the first thing I'll do with this sword is to offer your blood—and your blade—as a sacrifice to it!" Ren Xing laughed maniacally before charging at Zhang Tianchong.

At that moment, Ren Xing activated the Bloodthirsty Frenzy skill, immediately sacrificing a massive amount of his blood essence to enhance his power.

"Heh, this old guy is more ruthless than my previous sword masters," Ye Fan commented.

Ren Xing, now aware of the Demon-Slaying Sword's abilities, recklessly burned his blood essence to temporarily boost his strength, fully intending to kill Zhang Tianchong.

He knew that only by killing Zhang Tianchong would he survive.

"Hahaha, do you think you, a mere fifth-tier warrior, can kill me?" Zhang Tianchong roared with laughter.

In the next instant, Zhang Tianchong raised his demonic blade and collided head-on with the Demon-Slaying Sword.

Clang!

The moment the two weapons clashed, a deafening sound rang out.

Both fighters were knocked back by the impact.

Zhang Tianchong's eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn't expected Ren Xing to unleash such a powerful force.

He noticed that Ren Xing's body was surrounded by a thick, bloody aura.

Was this the sword's doing?

Zhang Tianchong's gaze hardened as he stared at Ren Xing's blade, his expression turning more vicious.

"Even if I didn't kill them, I can still use their blood power," Ren Xing thought, surveying the bodies around him.

The ground was littered with the corpses of Zhang Tianchong's victims, their blood pooling on the ground.

Without hesitation, Ren Xing slashed his sword at the bodies, causing fresh blood to spray out.

The blood from the corpses began to flow toward the Demon-Slaying Sword.

"This guy, Ren Xing, is quite something," Ye Fan remarked, impressed.

As the blood was absorbed into the Demon-Slaying Sword, the blade's power surged, and a large portion of the energy was returned to Ren Xing, empowering him further.

"Hahaha!" Ren Xing laughed, feeling the endless stream of power flooding his body.

His strength grew by the second.

But in that moment, Zhang Tianchong charged forward, ready to slice Ren Xing apart with a single strike!

Phantom Dance!

Seeing this, Ren Xing immediately activated the sword's ability.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Ren Xing's figure blurred as he executed dozens of lightning-fast strikes in an instant.

Clang, clang, clang—

Zhang Tianchong's eyes narrowed as he hastily stopped his attack, blocking Ren Xing's flurry of strikes with his demonic blade.

But Ren Xing moved like a shadow, striking so quickly that Zhang Tianchong's body was soon riddled with bloody holes.

His clothes were soaked in blood.

"Hahaha!" Ren Xing's maniacal laughter echoed through the air.

Being at the peak of the fifth tier, his energy reserves were immense, and his ability to absorb power was far superior to Lin San's.

The skill's use barely drained his energy.

"Damn it!" Zhang Tianchong roared, ignoring the wounds covering his body as he swung his demonic blade furiously, clashing with Ren Xing's sword.

Clang, clang, clang—

The demonic blade and the Demon-Slaying Sword collided repeatedly, creating a storm of sparks in the air.

"Ahhh!" Ren Xing bellowed, gripping his sword tightly as he viciously clashed with Zhang Tianchong.

Boom, boom—

The tremendous shockwaves from their battle whipped up violent gusts of wind.

"This demonic blade is unbelievably strong!" Ye Fan muttered, astonished.

That blade had once been barely a B-rank weapon and was even damaged, but now it had fully repaired itself and grown more powerful.

"But even so, it's no match for me!" Ye Fan shouted.

Crack!

With another clash, a crisp cracking sound echoed through the air.

Upon closer inspection, a visible crack had appeared on Zhang Tianchong's demonic blade.

"Break it apart!" Ye Fan urged.

"Die!" Ren Xing roared, pouring his enhanced strength into his next strike.

With the power of Bloodthirsty Frenzy boosting him, along with the passive enhancement of All-Attribute Amplification, Ren Xing's strength now surpassed Zhang Tianchong's.

Boom!

With one final, thunderous strike, Ren Xing's sword cleaved through the demonic blade.

The blade shattered into pieces, releasing a wave of blood energy that flowed directly into the Demon-Slaying Sword.

The sword hummed and trembled with power.

"Holy crap!" Ye Fan exclaimed in shock as the system notification appeared.

This was by far the largest increase in evolution points he'd ever received—an additional 25,000 points!

"My blade!!!" Zhang Tianchong cried out in a heart-wrenching scream as he watched his weapon shatter.

"Now die!" Ren Xing roared, his Demon-Slaying Sword slicing through Zhang Tianchong in an instant.

As Zhang Tianchong fell, his blood was rapidly absorbed by the sword.
