John watched as the Ender Insect Swarm approached, and he was the first to strike. He unleashed the Return of Ten Thousand Swords, and countless sword lights flickered in the air, instantly weaving into a giant net that enveloped a large portion of the swarm.
Slash!
Blood splattered as an Ender Worm was instantly cleaved by the sword lights. Immediately after, the endless sword beams fell like raindrops, rampantly slaughtering the swarm.
Hisssss…
The air was filled with the sounds of Ender Worms screaming in agony as waves of them perished.
The system notifications kept flashing, and John could clearly feel the power within him slowly breaking free from its seals.
He felt a surge of excitement. With so many Ender Worms, this battle would definitely allow him to fully restore his strength.
The women didn’t hold back either and began attacking as well.
Especially Sini, whose Power of the Nine Nether was eerie and unpredictable. It transformed into a storm of blades, and its lethality was no less than John’s own.
Screams echoed as the sky grew darker with the relentless swarm of Ender Worms, yet not a single one was able to break through the defensive line set up by the group.
“How strong…” Xayah, who had been hiding behind, looked on in shock.
She had thought John was already powerful enough, but she hadn’t expected Sini’s strength to be on par with his.
However, she still didn’t hold much hope for the group. The Ender Insect Swarm was too vast in number; sheer strength wasn’t enough to defeat them. Even if the group was powerful, they could be worn down by sheer numbers.
Xayah couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. She had originally hoped to recruit a few strong individuals for Dragon Ascending City, but now, it seemed these people were just arrogant and ignorant.
But, on second thought, it wasn’t so bad. Once they fell, she wouldn’t have to risk stealing the Black Magic Crystal from them.
John’s strength still made her uneasy, though.
The battle raged on.
The endless sword beams and Power of the Nine Nether were interspersed with the occasional Star Power.
The Ender Insect Swarm was similar to the Hunters from the previous world-relentlessly charging forward, fearless in the face of death.
The surrounding swamp was now covered with a thick layer of corpses.
John and his group showed no signs of exhaustion, continuing to slaughter the relentless tide of Ender Worms.
“Is it just my imagination, or are these people getting stronger?” Xayah’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She was certain that as the battle continued, the strength of John and his companions was growing.
John and Tracy were the most noticeable in their improvements.
Buzz!
Sparkles of starlight flickered in the air, like falling stars, crashing into the Ender Worms. It was Tracy’s Star Power.
John had not been mistaken. Tracy could indeed use the plunder talent to restore her strength. Relieved, John watched as Tracy’s Star Power was just as potent as Sini’s Power of the Nine Nether.
If both women fully recovered their strength, he was confident they could take on the seven great kings of the Land of Exile.
Hisssss…
The eerie screeches of the Ender Worms filled the air as they fell like raindrops, their numbers seemingly endless.
Yet, far in the distance, more Ender Worms continued to rush toward them.
[Killed a Five-Star Ender Worm, Plunder Talent Activated, Power Restored 0.0001%]
[Your power has been fully restored, all four basic attributes increased by 100 million.]
The system notifications flashed, and John felt a massive surge of energy flooding through his body. His spiritual power, Lich Power, and other forces were completely unsealed, and even his four basic attributes were boosted by a staggering 100 million!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a fierce wind whipped around him, and a terrifying aura shot up into the sky.
“Sword, come!” he shouted, and cold light burst from all directions as an immense killing intent filled the air.
In the next moment, the sky shimmered with starlight as the marsh below reflected mountains, rivers, and lakes.
A bronze longsword, ancient and heavy, exuding an aura of timelessness, appeared in his
hand.
It was the United Sword.
“Haha, I knew these ancient artifacts hadn’t disappeared!” John laughed out loud, holding the United Sword in his hand, his figure hovering in midair, exuding an overwhelming presence, as if he were the ruler of the world.
“Nine Heavens Sword!” he shouted, and with a mighty swing, the United Sword cleaved down.
Boom!
Suddenly, fierce winds roared, thunder rumbled, and the heavens themselves seemed to change color. A terrifying sword beam tore through the sky, slashing down with immense
force.
Boom!
The world shook. The monstrous sword beam swept across the landscape, cutting deep into the marshes, disappearing into the distance. Only the scattered bodies of Ender
Worms remained.
But that wasn’t all.
With a casual motion, John summoned four sword beams. The cold light intensified, and four longswords floated in front of him, their killing intent so thick it seemed almost tangible.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind howled as the four sword beams shot into the sky: a pale blue Immortal Sword, a fiery red Trap Immortal Sword, a deep blue Slaughter Immortal Sword, and a dark purple Destruction Immortal Sword.
“Immortal Sword Formation!” John’s cold voice echoed, almost like the whisper of death itself. The four sword beams whirled around him, creating a massive storm of power that covered thousands of miles, engulfing the Ender Insect Swarm.
Buzz!
The space around him trembled as endless sword beams surged and intertwined, violently shredding anything in their path. The dazzling sword lights were like fireworks, but they carried a lethal aura, exuding an insatiable desire to kill.
In the blink of an eye, the area was cleared, the sword beams dissipated, and the Four Extermination Swords hovered silently in front of John.
The surroundings were eerily silent, with only the scattered remains of Ender Worms left
behind.
On the ship, the women stared in awe, their mouths agape, watching the figure in the sky who exuded both freedom and dominance.
Avis lowered his head, feeling a sense of hopelessness. He was once again deeply struck by John’s overwhelming power.
He had come to this world, expecting to gain numerous adventures, to rapidly increase his strength, and thought that even if he couldn’t surpass his master, at least he would be able to keep up.
But now, it seemed he was nothing more than a clown. He had dared to compare himself to
John.
“Land of Exile, it seems like a storm of blood and carnage is about to break out…” Debbie sighed inwardly, her thoughts heavy with the impending chaos.
Bang!
A soft thud echoed as Xayah suddenly collapsed onto the deck, her body trembling slightly. She stared at John in shock, her mind overwhelmed by the sheer force of his power. “What… what kind of monster is this?” Fear spread within her heart. Though her identity was not ordinary, and she had encountered many powerful figures, she had never felt such an overwhelming presence-even from her own father.
Gulp!
She struggled to swallow, forcing down the terror that threatened to overwhelm her. Her gaze shifted toward John, focusing on the Four Extermination Swords hovering before him, as well
as the United Sword in his hand.
“It must be these weapons! These weapons are the source of his power! If I could just get my hands on them…” Her eyes burned with a fervent desire, her face flushed slightly as her breathing became a little more rapid.
“Old man, your power is fully restored!” Tracy exclaimed as realization hit her. Her face lit up
with joy.
John gave a slight smile and landed softly on the deck. Except for Xayah, the others quickly
gathered around him.
“Big Brother, you’re amazing!” Spoorate grabbed his arm, her eyes sparkling with
admiration, full of awe and reverence.
“Master, you’re truly incredible!” Avis also approached, sincerely amazed.
John shot him a glare and snapped, “If you can’t speak properly, then don’t say anything.”
“Uh…” Avis shrank back, obediently falling silent.
John continued, “Clean up the battlefield and let’s move out.”
Now that his power had been fully restored-and even enhanced-he felt confident that even
against a Nine-Star powerhouse, he could stand a chance.
The women immediately got to work.
The area was littered with nearly a million Ender Worm corpses-meaning nearly a million Five-Star magical beast magic cores. They were about to get rich.
The air was thick with the scent of blood. With his power fully restored, John had no concerns about attracting any more magical beasts.
In fact, he secretly hoped that another wave of Ender Insect Swarm might appear. Not only had this battle restored his strength, but he had also Plundered millions of attributes. Unfortunately, no magical beasts appeared. Not even a single Ender Insect Swarm, let alone other magical beasts.
It seemed that the overwhelming pressure he had unleashed with his earlier attack had deeply intimidated them.
John sighed, then began collecting the Ender Worm magic cores.
Meanwhile, Xayah kept her head down, also gathering the magic cores. However, she often glanced up at John, her eyes sneaking occasional looks.
It wasn’t his handsomeness that caught her attention, but the treasures he possessed. Those terrifying longswords, and that Black Magic Crystal, she was determined to get them.
Her eyes shifted with calculating precision as she searched for any potential weaknesses in
John.
This guy is surrounded by so many beautiful women, each with her own unique appearance, and even a little girl. He must be a lecher!
Perhaps she could use her looks to seduce him and get close. In the end, she would
undoubtedly be able to steal the treasures he possessed.
A smile appeared at the corner of Xayah’s lips. She was confident in her beauty-after a little
grooming and preparation, she was sure she could rival the women around John.
…
“Big Brother, I’m so tired,” Spoorate groaned as she straightened her back, looking at the sea
of corpses around her, clearly exhausted.
The sky had already darkened, and after working all day, the amount of magic cores they had
collected was barely one-tenth of what they needed.
Although these Five-Star magic cores weren’t particularly rare or valuable, throwing away
nearly a million of them still made the women feel reluctant.
John sighed helplessly. Their group was simply too small. With just a few of them, it would be
impossible to collect everything in just a few days.
“Forget it, let’s keep moving,” he said. With a thought, he stored all the Ender Worm corpses
into his World-in-Hand, deciding to find someone to slowly collect them later.
The sail was raised, and the ship continued its journey. Xayah, taking advantage of the others’ distraction, quietly slipped into the ship’s cabin.
John naturally noticed, but he didn’t pay much attention. Only Sini and Tracy remained
cautious.
After a short while, Xayah slowly emerged from the cabin. The group couldn’t help but be taken aback.
She was now dressed in a soft lavender gown, which highlighted her slender figure. The
elegant and noble attire, combined with her long, glossy black hair casually draped over her
back, accentuated her beauty. Her delicate features wore a sweet smile, making her look even more captivating.
“Master, you saved my life once again. Xayah has no way to repay you, so I am willing to serve
you from now on,” she said gracefully, bowing. Every movement and expression seemed designed to enchant.
John furrowed his brows. Though he had saved Xayah, he could sense that this woman’s
intentions were not entirely pure.
There was a saying “No one gives favors without a reason.” If someone is overly eager to please, it’s either a trap or theft.
Sini frowned and spoke up, “In that case, how about signing a soul contract?” Debbie, standing nearby, perked up at the suggestion and quickly nodded. She was not fond of
Xayah either.
She had recognized John as her master for a long time, but had never tried to seduce him. This woman, however, seemed to have no sense of boundaries, trying to tempt him like this-did she not understand the order of things?
