Sam stood there as he looked at the group with a provocative smile, he even hooked his finger towards them to provoke.
They are all extremely angry, but Sam didn"t care. There are no Consummate realm cultivators and even the transcendent stage cultivators are not of later stages, he can easily escape. All he needs to do is grasp the perfect timing.
And not just that, he will also give them a parting gift.
n.o.body dared to enter the sword storm, they are not that dumb. But they are not worried that is the only entrance of the valley. In their opinion, they just had to wait.
Jack held his black meteorite sword tightly as he took the final step towards the body of that expert.
At this exact moment, the chaotic sword storm which has no restraint until now, halted as all the sword rays floated like twinkling lights in the air.
The rest of the cultivators at the entrance all looked at it in awe as the majestic sight synced into their minds. But Sam can see this differently as he is already inside the valley and his perspective is different.
Even though the chaos looked like it ended and this turned calm that speculation couldn"t be farther from the truth.
The sword rays in the valley that are currently floating are actually establishing a connection within themselves and they are becoming one creating a stagnant curtain of the sword essence.
This is far more dangerous and lethal than the sword storm, even though it looked safer.
Sam couldn"t help but gulp in nervousness.
He is a foreign person within this valley.
Currently, Jack seemed to have established a link with the valley as he could feel the sword curtain linked to him in a form of protection.
As he was thinking, the Black meteorite sword in Jack"s hands shook a little and started vibrating as the sword turned bright with the spiritual energy turning into sword aura.
At the same time, the old sword that was in the hands of the dead body is also vibrating as both swords obtained a certain level of resonance.
Soon the whole sword curtain is vibrating along with the two swords. Sam could feel the pressure as he stood straight in the middle of all these links.
After a while, he couldn"t take it anymore and took out his two swords and concentrated his sword essence to maintain some resistance and alleviate the strain that was put on his body.
At this moment, a white light shot from all the hovering sword rays and all these beams of lights converged together towards the dead body and merged in that sword.
Then another refined sword light flew out of that sword and shot towards the Black meteorite sword and then surrounded Jack.
Jack stood there calmly as he closed his eyes and absorbed the essence of this sword as he comprehended the sword art.
Sam could barely resist the pressure anymore and his skin started tearing in several places. He felt like he is being tested by the sharpest of the blades that ever existed.
He couldn"t help it anymore and took out the gourd of heavenly wine as he continuously drank it and healed himself.
The process continued.
Some of the idiotic people that are standing at the entrance of the valley misinterpreted the situation and thought that the valley was safe, but a sword ray shot out of the curtain and cut them in two. The remaining people got the message and stayed put.
The process went on for a whole night.
The next morning, Sam has finally managed to get rid of the pressure, that is not because of his strength or the comprehension, it is because the process is over. But Jack is still not out of his dazed state.
There is a lot of excess energy flowing out of his body which could destroy him any time, but he is keeping it in with a delicate balance and trying to suppress it which is almost impossible with his level.
Sam turned around to take a look and was stunned to see what is in front of him. Apart from Jack"s state, the most surprising thing is actually the sword and the dead body turning into dust.
He could see both of these things slowly disintegrating into the air and disappearing from this world.
The sword curtain is also slowly disappearing.
Sam didn"t dare make any rash moves when the curtain is still present.
As soon as it disappeared he looked at the valley entrance where all the people are rushing in madly.
Sam extended his hand that has turned into a rock arm and held Jack tightly, before taking the harbinger out.
At first, he didn"t increase the alt.i.tude rapidly, he waited for the group to near him and held something in his remaining free hand.
All of them have only thought, to take what was given to Jack.
Sam endured the sword aura slicing his rock arm and took out a large grenade from his storage, this grenade is a bit different. He made it just for the undead realm.
After every one of them reached a certain distance, Sam increased his alt.i.tude and threw the grenade at them.
The large grenade didn"t even explode, it is like a smoke bomb releasing a lot of green smoke.
The people stopped in their tracks and didn"t move for a second, the whole group was covered within the smoke range.
Sam used this chance to move further and took out a couple of flowers and blew the pollen towards them.
Even these transcendent stage cultivators wouldn"t be able to follow him if he moves in full speed on his harbinger, so he is not worried at all.
He looked at all of them coldly and said in a loud voice.
"If anyone of you lives past this moment, go back and tell your people that Sam has arrived."
With that, he took Jack and left the place.
He turned into a streak as he moved towards the bat cave at full speed and as soon as he reached the cave, he put Jack aside and went to a corner to take care of himself.
His arm was completely torn apart from the sword aura.
He just held him purely by his sheer will.
While he ran away, the group in the valley is having the hardest time of their lives.
The green smoke seemed harmless at first, but as soon as it dissolved into their skin and internal organs, the situation turned dangerous.
There is one thing that is so important to the undead creatures. They might vampires, the wights or the ghouls all three of them have one thing that they have in common, they have bodies that don"t grow.
Generally, there are two ways to reproduce or increase their population, first one is to create a servant through the gift of bit or other bloodline arts, but the person wouldn"t be pureblooded, this uses the humans as the targets.
As for the second one, it is reproduction. The men will copulate with the human women, and make them pregnant, the baby will be born with two bloodlines, the undead creature bloodline which will be initially pa.s.sive, and the human bloodline.
When they reach the awakening stage, the creature"s bloodline activates and starts dominating the human bloodline and after they reach adulthood, they undergo a certain ceremony similar to the bloodline refinement in which they will completely let go of their human ident.i.ty both physically and psychologically.
After that happened, their bodies wouldn"t undergo any biological changes and will remain in some kind of frozen or dormant state.
At least, their flesh would. It is stronger and has a high regeneration ability, but that is as long as it is healthy enough.
Their flesh doesn"t follow the regular cycle of the humans or any other creatures, with the new cells taking the place of the old ones.
Now the green smoke he created is actually made by the extract of all kinds of decaying poisons he found in Naga Loka.
After this dissolved into their skin, their flesh started the decay and they rapidly used their death energy which is the basic form of their spiritual energy to resist the decay. This would have been normally okay.
After the decaying poison and the death energy battled it out, everything would be okay.
But Sam dropped the pollen over them at this moment for this exact reason.
The pollen if by any chance entered their flesh directly due to the decay in the skin the death energy that was channeled to resist the decay will all be absorbed by the pollen promoting their growth.
Even though Sam just blew the pollen off on them, it is not exactly sufficient to tag every one of them.
Some of them are not suffering the decay, but some of them clearly felt their situation getting worse and the small spouts that came from their skin are the direct indication of that.
All of them remembered his words and left the valley to find their superiors and family members in fear of death.
