From Sword to Slaughter: Evolution

[Healing Frenzy]!

At this moment, the sword emitted a bright white light.

Quickly, a vast amount of light-attribute energy surged into his body.

As the source power continuously flowed into the Sword of Annihilation, the white light-attribute power kept appearing.

Soon, he felt the wounds on his body rapidly healing at an astonishing speed!

Not only that, but he also clearly felt his strength growing significantly.

Amazing!

This is the power of annihilation!

"Hmm?"

Lei Lingfei had just landed from the sky and saw Zhou Huachao stand up again. His eyes immediately revealed a look of surprise.

What was going on!?

Just now, Zhou Huachao had sustained numerous cuts all over his body due to his sword energy.

But now, with so much energy bursting out from the sword, it seemed to have healed all his injuries!

This sword really is the legendary sword!

At this moment, Lei Lingfei's breathing became heavy.

"Zhou Huachao, you're truly lucky."

"You actually picked up this sword."

At this point, he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"But this sword will soon be mine!"

With a thought, he charged toward Zhou Huachao, holding the long sword in his hand.

The speed of a Martial King was far superior to that of Martial Master-level warriors!

In an instant, he appeared in front of Zhou Huachao.

With a swift slash of his long sword, he attacked!

Zhou Huachao's pupils shrank slightly, but he quickly reacted, using the Sword of Annihilation to block the blow.

Clang—

As the weapons clashed, a crisp sound rang out.

Zhou Huachao's body was thrown backward by the force.

However, he quickly stabilized himself.

He didn't end up crashing to the ground like before.

"Hmph."

Lei Lingfei clearly felt that Zhou Huachao's strength had improved significantly and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Huh!?

At that moment, he noticed a crack on the blade of his long sword!

How could this be!?

Seeing this, his eyes widened, filled with shock.

Could that crack have been caused by just one collision!?

This was too shocking.

This sword was not an ordinary weapon.

Although it couldn't be considered a supreme sword, it was still a top-tier weapon.

Not only could it cut through iron like mud, but it was also incredibly resilient.

Yet such a sword...

"You die!"

At this moment, Zhou Huachao roared, lifting the Sword of Annihilation and slashing through the air.

[Hellfire Soul-Splitting Slash]!

As the sword sliced through the air, a terrifying crescent-shaped white flame erupted forth.

It charged directly at Lei Lingfei!

Lei Lingfei's face changed dramatically.

He quickly dodged.

He could clearly feel the terrifying power of this flame and didn't dare to block it directly.

Even though he was a Martial King, he couldn't handle it!

Whoosh—

Although he moved fast, the white flame was not slow either!

Some of the flame caught onto his body, instantly setting his clothes ablaze.

Lei Lingfei quickly tore off his burning clothes.

Even the skin on his body was severely scorched!

Such a terrifying flame!

This was definitely not the kind of fire Zhou Huachao could produce as a Martial Master.

It had to be the sword.

The sword was the reason!

As Lei Lingfei looked toward Zhou Huachao, he realized Zhou Huachao had already vanished!

Where did he go!?

Seeing this, his eyes widened in fury.

"Damn it!!!"

Lei Lingfei roared angrily. His body lifted into the air as he searched for Zhou Huachao's whereabouts.

"A Martial King's power is still too strong."

At this moment, Zhou Huachao was frantically running toward the city gate.

He now felt that his source power was almost depleted.

After all, he had consumed too much source power earlier, channeling it into his sword to heal with the light attribute energy.

Run! Use every ounce of strength to run outside the city!

"Who goes there! Stop!"

At this moment, a large number of warriors were guarding the city gate.

"Get out of my way!"

Seeing the warriors blocking his path, Zhou Huachao, enraged, swung the Sword of Annihilation in the air!

In an instant, the white flames burst forth and shot toward the city gate!

The terrifying white flames flew toward the gate, engulfing it.

Boom—

A massive explosion resounded.

The entire city gate was covered in white flames.

The warriors guarding the gate didn't have time to react before they were swallowed by the flames.

They were instantly reduced to charred remains.

[Killed a Tier Nine warrior, gained 9,000 evolution points]

[Killed a Tier Eight warrior, gained 8,000 evolution points]

...

The system notifications of earned evolution points continued to appear.

"There he is!"

Flying in the sky, Lei Lingfei seemed to spot something, and he ground his teeth.

That guy had broken through the city gate!

And there was no Martial King guarding the gate right now.

From their brief exchange, Lei Lingfei already understood that Zhou Huachao's strength was below that of a Martial King but above that of a Martial Master!

By the time Lei Lingfei arrived at the gate, Zhou Huachao was already gone!

Even the menacing aura from the sword had vanished.

"Zhou Huachao!!!"

Lei Lingfei roared in the sky, his body erupting with thunder-attribute energy.

He looked like a walking power generator.

But this was only a release of anger.

By now, Zhou Huachao had completely disappeared!

...

"Huff, huff..."

Meanwhile, Zhou Huachao had reached another area.

He was panting heavily.

His source power was depleting too quickly.

He had to find a place to rest and recover.

Without hesitation, he continued running.

He didn't stop at all.

Because he knew that if he stopped, he would most likely be caught!

Given the current situation, he had no chance against a Martial King-level warrior.

He ran eastward, not knowing how far he had gone.

Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

Exhausted.

Utterly exhausted.

With a thought, he pulled out a large number of source stones from his storage ring.

As he activated his cultivation technique, the source power from the stones was quickly absorbed into his body.
