Chapter 124: Chapter 29 The Killer Reveals Themself_5
Ah Dai’s eyes dimmed as he said, "Uncle is already dead. Yue Yue, you’re the first person to know this secret after I left my uncle. Please don’t tell anyone! Uncle said he has many enemies, and the power of the Sword of Hades is staggering. If it falls into the wrong hands, it will bring blood and chaos to the continent."
Xuan Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright, I promise you. But, you must be careful too. Your uncle was right, if others find out that you possess the Sword of Hades, you could be in danger." She paused and, driven by her curiosity, asked, "Ah Dai, can you use the Hades Sword Technique: Heaven Earth Shaker or Hades Sword Technique: Ghost Spirit Tremor?"
Ah Dai scratched his head, and said, "I can’t really say, maybe a little, but I’ve never tried. The evil aura of the Sword of Hades is too powerful. Uncle said once he simply drew the Sword of Hades to kill a villain, but many innocent people nearby died due to the invasion of the evil power. I dare not use it casually."
Xuan Yue gasped, "Sounds terrifying! Can I have a look? Or feel it?"
Ah Dai was startled and stepped back, saying, "Better not, the evil power of the Sword of Hades is too strong, I’m afraid it would hurt you!"
Xuan Yue, who had been burning with curiosity, implored impatiently, "No problem, I’ll just touch it through your clothes. Never forget, I possess a Holy Physique. Let’s do it." Without further discussion her small hand pressed against Ah Dai’s chest. The moment Xuan Yue’s hand made contact with the handle of the Sword of Hades, a surge of icy energy flowed from the handle, shaking her entire body. She wasn’t able to release, her face turning pale.
Ah Dai was alarmed and quickly knocked her hand away, placed his palm on her shoulder, channeling his vital True Qi into her body. Ah Dai’s tall figure had concealed these changes from the others. Under the vibrant vitality of his True Qi, Xuan Yue’s complexion began to improve. She gasped for air, the sensation of evil invasion was deeply ingrained in her memory. When she touched the handle of the Sword of Hades, she felt like her soul was being extracted. Her consciousness blurred, if not for the energy emitted by the Phoenix’s Blood in her chest, and Ah Dai’s timely separation from the Sword of Hades, her precious Holy Physique might not have been able to save her.
"This, this feeling of terror, such powerful evil energy! It’s horrifying." Xuan Yue said disjointedly.
Ah Dai asked anxiously, "Yue Yue, how are you? Are you okay? I told you that the Sword of Hades’ evil power is too dominant, and you were too careless. Before making contact with the Sword of Hades, you must envelop your body with your life energy. If you had used the Light Magic Power to protect yourself, you wouldn’t have been exploited by the evil power, are you feeling better now?"
Xuan Yue took a deep breath and slowly nodded, saying, "It’s truly overwhelming! You must not use it lightly, it already has such strong evil power without being unsheathed, it could obliterate everything within hundreds of meters radius once unsheathed. I’m now regretting that I promised not to reveal the fact that you possess the Sword of Hades. I think it should be handed over to our Church for safeguarding."
Ah Dai clutched the Sword of Hades at his chest and wagged his head anxiously, "It’s not possible. This is the heirloom left to me by my uncle, I could never hand it over to others. Yue Yue, I promise you I won’t use it casually."
Xuan Yue giggled and said, "Do you think I don’t know what kind of person you are? Don’t worry unnecessarily. I won’t tell. I still need your protection."
Just as Ah Dai was about to speak, Yan Shi suddenly stood up and walked over. As he moved, everyone’s gaze immediately converged on him. Yan Shi walked up to Ah Dai and Xuan Yue and said, "Brother Ah Dai, since we’re going to the Death Mountain Range, we should discuss our strategy."
Ah Dai nodded blankly, as Moon Scar and the others also joined them, leaving only Yan Li leaning against a large tree, sleeping soundly.
Moon Scar asked, "Brother Yan Shi, do you have any good ideas?"
