Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Now showing its sharp claws

[Your descendant Lucas has been journeying as a swordsman for seven years, battling swordsmen alone with equal skill, and his mastery of the All Swords Return to the Sect technique has grown more proficient. He has achieved a breakthrough with the Hundred Shadows Sword Glow, creating a new sword technique—Sword Traveling a Hundred Miles!]

[He has acquired two thousand swords, and has fused five hundred into his body, making his sword body even more robust.]

[Over the years, Lucas has been cultivating psychic powers and has now become a Sword Pill!]

At this moment, Lucas, carrying ten thousand swords in the sky.

His sword case, crafted by Julian, is nothing but top-notch psychic equipment, capable of holding countless swords, similar to a Storage Ring, and also possesses the ability to nurture swords.

The protective great array of the Valley of Healers has been activated, named the Hundred Flowers Array, a seventh-grade magical formation, currently being bombarded by ten thousand swords.

Lucas simply stands quietly beside the sword rainbow that rushes like a Wild Dragon.

Over the years, he hasn't made many moves, but he is known as the number one swordsman of Azure Cloud, which shows his strength. In the realm of Developing Skill, his body has even reached the level of a primary psychic device, and controlling swords no longer requires any psychic power.

He is on par with the mid-stage of Developing Skill!

The third generation of Blackwood also shows no signs of weakness.

"Ah!!!"

They roar together, rising into the sky with demonic energy, standing high above the Valley of Healers from seven directions, crazily attacking with their top-grade psychic devices tainted with demonic energy.

They even threw out a formation disk.

That was the Eight Directions Formation Disk given to them by Marcus, with the Xuanhuang magical formation rising, the Eight Directions Formation Doors sprouting from the ground, surrounding the entire Valley of Healers!

Faced with these eight from Blackwood, the Valley of Healers did not strike back.

The previously fierce Carolyn was now without her earlier toughness.

Because...

Elder Felix had been staying in the Valley of Healers for seven years, and the Valley of Healers had not exposed their whereabouts for seven years, but... when enemies came to the Valley of Healers, Elder Felix, without saying a word, holding the frenzied Elizabeth, as the Blackwood Eight Directions Formation Disk opened...

Ran away?!!

"Felix, what are you doing?!!"

Carolyn looked in disbelief at the two people who were already escaping on a psychic shuttle, shaped like a small boat, using a talisman, with Elizabeth still baring her teeth and claws, wanting to rush down.

She didn't understand.

She dared to confront these seven years of terrifying rumors, crazier than demonic psychics, the eight from Blackwood, entirely because of the presence of Felix and Elizabeth.

Felix at the peak of Developing Skill, and Elizabeth, even though pregnant, was at the mid-stage of Developing Skill, along with a mid-stage and an early-stage Developing Skill master from the Valley of Healers, could completely crush the so-called number one swordsman of Azure Cloud!

With such an advantage, they actually ran away?!!

Elder Felix zipped away without looking back, and soon he was out of sight. Meanwhile, Carolyn began to sweat profusely from her forehead. She saw the Cards that the people of Blackwood had just worshipped starting to rise into the air. From eight, they multiplied into forty, and began to fiercely attack the protective formation.

"Forebearer's wrath, times five!" Carolyn swallowed hard.

"Gulp."

She swallowed again, regretting her actions too late. Now, all she could do was grit her teeth and prepare the people of the Valley of Healers for battle.

Standing on a lotus platform beside her, Carolyn looked through the formation with a feigned calmness at Lucas, who was still bombarding the formation with thousands of swords.

"Sword King, my Valley of Healers has aided the world, countless owe us favors. We only helped Felix and Elizabeth out of kindness, why must you persist in opposing us?"

Carolyn's voice was filled with sorrow and compassion. "Now that Felix and Elizabeth have left, we in the Valley of Healers wish no longer to be involved in these worldly troubles. Just leave us be."

It was a mix of threats and face-saving words.

But...

These words might have worked on kind folks like the Nathans or George, but to Lucas...

Lucas found it laughable. From a young age, he trained in the sword, and as a young man, he vowed to be the sword of Blackwood, known in Cloudview County as the foremost Azure Cloud Sword.

No.

Lucas scoffed at such vain titles. He knew his role was to be the sharp sword at Blackwood's gate, discerning exactly whom to cut down!

He didn't even spare Carolyn a glance, only looking briefly at the third generation of Blackwood, noticing their gaze following the direction in which Elder Felix and Elizabeth had left. He shouted angrily, "Don't bother with them, someone will take care of it! The task Forebearer and your four aunts have given us is—"

"To stain the whole Cloudview County with the blood of these hypocrites from the Valley of Healers!"

The third generation of Blackwood snapped back to reality.

Their eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty madness as they responded in unison, "Yes."

They understood. They just wanted to see how desperate Elizabeth, who had killed their grandfather, was, and how much Elder Felix regretted his actions!

"Crazies, you Blackwood crazies!!!" Carolyn finally screamed, her face contorted with rage, but even that couldn't hide the panic in her eyes.

She regretted it. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If she had known it would come to this, she would have handed over Felix and Elizabeth, that cowardly couple, much earlier. She shouldn't have spent the last seven years helping them conceive by all means possible!

"Put me down, let me kill those Blackwood folks, I need to avenge Lopez, I want revenge!" Elizabeth's eyes were bloodshot as she struggled to break free from Felix's embrace, eager to rush back to the Valley of Healers and take down those eight from Blackwood.

Felix, gritting his teeth with fear still evident in his eyes, gently said, "Elizabeth, calm down. If they knew our strength, do you think they'd only send Lucas and those seven indestructible demons? Think about it, they've already got our intel. We should head back to Azure Cloud Pavilion, or better yet, come with me to Sky Sect!"

"With the Competent Elder protecting us, they wouldn't dare come."

The old Felix saw Blackwood as mere ants, destroying Blackwood was a means to ruin Marcus. But now, all he had left was fear. Even while cultivating psychic powers, the thought of Blackwood became his inner demon, hindering his progress over these seven years, even causing some regression.

Especially over these years, he kept hearing news about Blackwood.

Every force that tried to deal with Blackwood was destroyed.

Talent after talent emerged from Blackwood. Blackwood wasn't a sick cat; the impoverished rural area of Forest Town had always been a cage, imprisoning a sleeping lion, which was now showing its sharp claws!

Marcus was exceptionally talented, possessing the nine unique psychic fires, but compared to the emerging masters of Blackwood like Sword King Lucas, the Saint of Flora, the Ancestor of Psychic Puppets, or the Lord of Dawn, Marcus was just average!

He even feared returning to Sky Sect, worried that Daoist Wesley, who used him as a pawn, might discard him at any moment!

Every so often, his inner demons grew stronger, to the point where now, all he wanted to do was flee, unsure of the incredible depths this twisted family might possess.
