Chapter Six Hundred and Eighty Two – God-Killing Blood Sword
Wei Sheng walked along the street as the people around him gazed on in awe. Wei Sheng was famed in the mo territories. Up until now, he had not lost once.
There had been over twenty experts that had fallen to his sword.
Many of them were famous and were lords of an area. After his successive victories, Wei Sheng had become famous.
He has started by challenging others but was now challenged by others. This change had only taken him a few months.
The mo did not have too much of a negative attitude towards Wei Sheng. He was quiet, speaking few words, and determined. He also was not pretentious and was frugal. He was obsessed with the pursuit of power, and his passion and devotion to the sword was admirable. Also, he was an honest person. While he had defeated more than twenty experts, it was rare that people died by his sword.
In the eyes of the proud mo, Wei Sheng had almost all the attributes that mo revered.
Even the mo found it difficult to feel dislike for such a person. Many mo sighed inside. It would be wonderful if such a person was born a mo.
He was also so strong!
Having defeated twenty general level experts, many people speculated that he would not have a match below marshal level.
Would it really take a marshal to beat him?
However, many people felt that this was not interesting. Which marshal did not have great power and authority? They were each busy fighting to expanding their holdings. Who had the free time to fight against a sword xiu?
Maybe Wei Sheng’s strength was almost close to marshal level, but even if it was just a sliver away, this kind of difference was unable to be crossed.
The gazes of the leaders were mostly looking at the battle between Jiang Zhe and Xiao Mo Ge. In their view, an expert like Wei Sheng was worthy of praise. But as long as he did not become a fanxu, he would not have any true influence on the state of affairs. However, the results of Xiao Mo Ge’s battle would directly affect the state of the world.
If Xiao Mo Ge won, his reputation would grow, and he would become the first among the new generation of mo generals. Additionally, the decline of Xuan Kong Temple would not be able to be prevented.
If Xuan Kong Temple won, the mo would suffer another loss on the battlefield. Jiang Zhe’s reputation would grow, Xuan Kong Temple would become even stronger, and Xiao Mo Ge would not have any place to hide.
The attention this battle received was far greater than Wei Sheng’s matches.
Wei Sheng was not affected. These factors were never ones that he paid attention to. He stepped onto the battle stage like usual and waited for the arrival of his opponents.
He sat down in lotus position with the black sword floating next to him.
He did not know who his opponent today was. He had never searched for information on any of his opponents. That was meaningless for him. He was trying to refine his sword essence, and was not fighting to win. Pure victory was not of value to him.
His mind was like a void and a little black sword was within it. If one looked closely, they would find that it was a miniature black sword. However, unlike the savagery and bloodthirst of the black sword, this little black sword had the beginnings of majesty.
The sword was like the endless void!
Vast, deep, and boundless!
Void sword sesence!
His void sword essence had already surpassed any of Wu Kong Sword Sect’s forebearers, and reached an unprecedented height. The sixth-grade sword scripture was transforming in his hands.
Suddenly, the little black sword shook lightly.
A faint, almost imperceptible, void sword essence rippled into the surroundings.
Everything nearby appeared in Wei Sheng’s mind.
Among the densely packed crowd, one person was extremely clear.
This person was spying on him!
The little black sword was connected to Wei Sheng’s mind. It seemed to detect something and shook urgently.
Sword essence!
This person was a sword xiu and also a Kun Lun sword xiu!
This person’s eyes were filled with imperceptible enmity but what caused the little black sword to react so was the faint Kun Lun sword presence that he carried. It could not be detected with the naked eye, but in the void of the sword, it was eye-catching.
Wei Sheng knew long ago that Kun Lun would not give up.
But Kun Lun probably had not expected that he would also not give up.
Wei Sheng suddenly opened his eyes. A harsh light flashed across his determined eyes.
Since they had come, then they should not think of leaving!
Wei Sheng stood. The black sword seemed to respond and flashed into his hand.
The mo below the stage were all astounded. It was the first time that they had seen Wei Sheng perform any other actions before a fight. In the past matches, before the opponent came, Wei Sheng would sit motionlessly like a rock with his eyes closed.
What did he want to do?
The mo all showed puzzled expressions.
At this time, they heard Wei Sheng’s clear shout ring in their ears.
“Kun Lun sword xiu, when did you become people that hide in the shadows?”
Wei Sheng’s black sword pointed towards the Kun Lun sword xiu in the crowd.
Kun Lun sword xiu!
The mo below the stage were astounded.
The two words Kun Lun had brought endless pain towards the mo in thousands of years.
In the direction Wei Sheng was pointing people parted like the tide, revealing the Kun Lun sword xiu among the crowd.
His figure was average and so was his appearance. He did not show any differences compared to the average mo and if he was a part of the crowd, he would quickly fade away.
The Kun Lun sword xiu did not move. Wei Sheng’s sword essence had locked onto him.
“I’m very curious how you found me?”
His voice was dry, hoarse, and ugly to hear. There wasn’t any presence on him as though he was a normal person. However, his words confirmed his identity.
“My sword recognizes you.”
Wei Sheng said coolly.
Just as he finished speaking, the space between him and the Kun Lun sword xiu had turned into a patch of endless void.
“They say that Wu Kong Sword Sect had a sixth-grade sword scripture called the Void Sword Scripture. I hadn’t expected that you are able to elevate it. If your sect leader and shishu heard of this in the grave, they would feel gratified,” the Kun Lun sword xiu smiled and said to himself.
Wei Sheng’s body shook.
His steely gaze gradually became pained. He grip on the black sword tightened, his knuckles turned white and trembled slightly.
The endless void shook and showed signs of instability.
There was a faint smile on the face of the Kun Lun sword xiu. He slowly walked forward as though he was taking a stroll.
“It is a pity that you were not able to see them one last time. Even your fellow disciples ended up in the hands of mo and become their prisoners. It really causes one to feel pity that Wu Kong Sword Sect was destroyed after existing for several hundred years.”
Wei Sheng was silent. However, the blood in his face retreated as the other spoke.
The Kun Lun sword xiu looked wryly at Wei Sheng. In the intelligence report, Wei Sheng had a resilient and hardy personality but he cared greatly for his sect, this was his greatest weakness!
Sword essence was eternal and could exist for thousands of lifetimes. Emotions were just common things. If one’s sword essence was infected by their emotions, they would never be able to reach the peak.
Such a pity for this good man!
There was still a smile on the Kun Lun sword xiu’s face. However, his eyes were filled with ice and emotionlessness.
A transparent little sword that was as thin as a cicada’s wings appeared in his hands.
Just as he was about to act, he suddenly became alarmed. His icy eyes suddenly changed.
In front of him, Wei Sheng’s presence suddenly changed.
An ancient and desolate presence filled with deep grief flooded from the endless void and turned into threads that entered the black sword in his hand.
The black sword suddenly hummed!
It was like the howl of ancient wasteland beasts. The savagery and vicious presence filled the air. The thick tang of blood came from the sword and merged into the black void in the surroundings.
Almost in a flash, the dark void became tinged with dark red.
Wei Sheng’s body trembled violently. His face was ashen as though all the blood in his body had been drained. But his hand that held the black sword was like rock and didn’t move a sliver.
The Kun Lun sword xiu suddenly raised his head. He saw an mountainous blood coloured sword floating behind Wei Sheng.
Streams of blood dripped. The savage and bloody presence caused his sword heart to instinctively tremble.
This was … …
Wei Sheng’s slightly red eyes became deep red, then dark red until they became black.
The same deep black like the previous void.
The killing essence and the tang of blood seemed to disappear. The enormous blood sword behind Wei Sheng also disappeared as if it was just a mirage.
However, the blood tinged void in the surroundings informed people that the scene just now had not been an illusion.
The Kun Lun sword xiu’s mouth was wide as he looked behind Wei Sheng. It was as though he had seen a ghost.
“God-Killing Blood Sword … … how is it possible … …”
He murmured to himself with an ashen expression.
Wei Sheng’s expression returned to normal. The black sword in his mind was completely red, and the surrounding void was also dyed red. In the void was a little tiny infant sitting in lotus position on the blood sword. It seemed to be similar to Wei Sheng in features.
Yuanying!
At this time, he broke through to yuanying!
Wei Sheng’s sword essence level was always above his cultivation level. Even the mo that he had defeated never had thought that the person they faced was just a jindan sword xiu.
Today, when he suddenly heard the terrible news about the sect leader and the shishu, he had felt grief and fury. This caused a resonance with the black sword in his soul. The vast killing essence in the black sword had instantly broke through the barrier inside his body.
Previously, he had had a bad feeling about the sect, but there had not been any actual news about the sect leader and the others. He had held some hope. But now that the other had confirmed his suspicions, in great grief Wei Sheng lost the last restraints and calm that he had. The last barrier between him and the black sword was also broken.
The long accumulation and the comprehensions he gained at the border of life and death allowed him to have a successful breakthrough.
The Kun Lun sword xiu wanted Wei Sheng’s mind to show weakness but he had never thought that this would become an opportunity for Wei Sheng to break through.
“God-Killing Blood Sword, so that is what you are called.”
Wei Sheng lightly caressed the black sword in his hand and murmured to himself. The black sword felt the sorrow inside Wei Sheng and the killing essence grew. It violently trembled, the sword producing threads of blood that ran along the blade. In a few moments, the sword was streaked with blood.
The blood on the sword seemed to have an unique presence.
If Zuo Mo was here, he would instantly recognize this presence was shen power! Pure shen power!
The threads of blood were the blood of totem warriors. The blood that the sword had drank tens of thousands of years ago!
The Kun Lun sword xiu’s mind finally cleared up but his face became even paler. He was being completely suppressed by Wei Sheng!
The red void in the surroundings was like an enormous clamp that gripped him.
Impossible!
Even if it was the God-Killing Blood Sword, it could not be so powerful!
Was it … …
A terrifying thought flashed through his mind.
At this time, Wei Sheng raised his head.
In this moment, the Kun Lun sword xiu, Wei Sheng, and the red void in the surroundings had merged into one.
As expected … … he had a breakthrough!
“Master and the Shishu in Heaven, under my Void Sword Domain, this disciple Wei Sheng offers the blood of Kun Lun as tribute!”
These were the last words that the Kun Lun sword xiu heard.
Translator Ramblings: Wei Sheng’s a vampire.
The thing with the heaven/celestial and the morthal typos were all me. WanderingGummiOfDoom finished editing, I was reading it over, and then I realized “person” didn’t sound as good as mortal and heaven was weird and celestial fit bitter.

Wei Sheng the main character style level up.
Are we starting another lottery round? I personally am fond of number 7 😄

Thanks
People are fast in here!
Just once, I wanna see a countdown reach zero without interruptions …
I’m never early anyway so maybe one day, but when I’m early, not happening.
On the update side,
Shen power now is just everywhere. Seriously, by the time we get to the end guessing there will be another type of power beyond that as everyone will roam with shen power.

that will never happen
Spoilsport😝 Or actually…no, a realist, really.
yeah realist we would have to organize our commenter community an incredible amount and by doing so it wouldn’t be near as fun anymore….
Yep. Random is fun😁
dang, how u are so fast!
36. i don’t know why… but why not?
WeiSheng is another MC in the story, and his plot device just kick in!
I really hope some of the shishu of the Wu kong sect survived somewhere unknown. I mean a few disciples were found by ZM, who’s to say there aren’t any other survivors. They should all join ZM’s faction, and rise once again.
Lool. Aside from lin qian or whatever his name is, other kun lun disciples are all so pitiful. This idiot tried to shake wei sheng spirit instead strenghten his resolve and allowed him to breakthrough. Thank you good guy kun lun disciple.
They are typical minions😄
It is awfully considerate of the author to paint a big fat EVIL SECT: DOOMED FOR DESTRUCTION right on the face of anyone from Kun Lun.
It saves us from having to consider whether they deserve to be cut down to the last man or not.
In this case, the answer is yes.
Yes they should.
Thanks for the chapter!
Well, it’s not like he had a lot of choice : he was probably ordered to keep an eye on Wei Sheng so the real assassination team could find him when they arrive but once Wei Sheng had identified him and locked him with his sword essence, he had to try *something* to survive… Apparently the files on Wei Sheng only listed one weakness (because we all know that any emotion is a weakness to cultivators) so he tried to target it and it even appeared to work… briefly !
Then kun lun probably did a bad job in collecting wei sheng history. If his conviction and heart was easily shaky then wei sheng would’ve stayed a sword slave or something and not a genius he is now.
Thanks!
It’s said that he broke trough to “Yuanying”, but shouldn’t it be “Fanxu” instead ?
I mean, it was said just before that only a Mo “Marshall” would be able to defeat him and that until now, no one in the “general” level was able to defeat him.
“General” are equals to “Yuanying”.
and
“Marshall” are equals to “Fanxu”.
So there must be some kind of error in this chapter, or this would mean that Wei Sheng can just surpass one whole stage of cultivation…
He was Jindan when he left the island. He’s that strong.
WS is the true MC. Just read the translators synopsis of the novel. ZM is the side character.
…and perfectly happy about it. Too bad Wei and Pu don’t agree🙂
I think you forgetting that he should be one of the youngest Yuanying in the world, all other Yuanying is like many hundreds years old bastards + some top lvl geniuses like lin qian with tons of resurses and teachers
If he breakthrough to Fanxu…all cultivators in the world should just commit suicide
General equals to yuanying, but wei shen was able to defeat them despite being a “mere” jindan. Because he has a god slaying sword, and has managed to upgrade the void sword scripture “beyond tier 6”. This is why it was so impressive that he could defeat some generals despite being a tier below them
stop ruining the mood dammit i see blood sword then i see vampire y u do this?!
I simply must say: You have such a…sharp smile 😁 Perfect for Colgate commercial😬
37
General = Yuanying.
Everyone’s looking at Wei Sheng as “almost Marshal”, while his cultivation was actually even below General level and he only broke through now.
An entire chapter for our MC lol.
Thank you for the chapter!
thq
Thanks for the new chapter! Wei Sheng makes a breakthrough!
Thanks for the chapter!

Thanks for the translation!
Thank you for the chapter!
Ha ha wow, the power of true MCs is scary. When did breakthrough become like eating rice? Can a man break through just like that?
Zuo Mo, you’re good but I guess there’s a reason why Wei Sheng is eldest shixong…or I suppose he’s sect leader now.
;-;
Wow… that last phrase kinda made me cry a little.
…and then you remember that the sword sect still was kind of group of bastards…to Zuo Mo at least. Not that they deserved to be killed for it…🤔😐
Even the elders…Not to mention normal cultivators
I don’t understand where people get the idea that Zhuo Mo was mistreated by his sect :
1) He starts off as a standard low-level guy in the sect and is generally ignored by the elders (which is perfectly normal as he is one of a hundred at most at this point) and used a bit (not that much ! did you read any other Xianxia ?) by a bitch of a mid-level disciple without the approbation of the sect (in fact she was punished once that was discovered, and not because of Mo’s status, just because she pushed her responsibility on someone else).
2) By the point he shows his capacity as a farmer he’s well rewarded with fertile land and a bit of resources (and the “tax” system does not seem exploitative, at this point if Zhuo didn’t have a hungry ghost inside he would have made a lot of wealth by normal standards). A master is attributed but she is of the “absent-minded well-intentioned” variety, more interested by her own concoctions (which are necessary to maintain the wealth of the sect !) than by this farmer disciple (farming is not her specialty…), she just gives him enough resources and knowledge so that he can progress by himself (he proceeds to do so at an astonishing pace).
3) The bitch disciple has been punished and despite her anger there’s no petty bullying (probably the elders wouldn’t have appreciated). She call on her boyfriend to give Zhuo Mo a lesson but while he’s arrogant (and destroys his jinzhi IIRC) he intends to use the normal channels for this kind of thing and want to duel properly at a date where disciples can do so, it is also likely that Zhuo Mo would just have gotten a beating, not crippling or death as you can see in many other novels.
4) Zhuo trains a lot (using up his newly acquired wealth even more !) and wins by using Sword Essence which is supposed to be the mark of a genius, especially at his level and without advice from one of his senior. He’s then recognized as an important disciple and given a lot of attention, which is a *good* thing even if he whine a lot about it and it seems to be pretty painful (which again is perfectly normal given the nature of the training). They’re a sword sect, it’s pretty normal that they focus on his “astonishing talent” with the sword…
5) Zhuo Mo is seen as lazy and unambitious by the elders (which he kind of is, at least in his sword cultivation) so they try to push him by showing him stronger opponents in a big contest (still good intentions and not too much risk from what we’ve seen). They expect him to lose and be motivated to challenge himself but he keeps winning and even amaze everyone in the final with his formation… humiliating for a pure sword sect with a proud and long tradition, especially when they think he’s some kind of genius in the sword and is “wasting” his time with those other pursuits (it is often said in the novel that “normal” genius get to be so by focusing on one domain and cultivating too many things leads to mediocrity… for people that are not Zhuo Mo).
6) They go to amazing expenses to create a special Sword Essence formation (to which every elder participate !) so that he’s forced to develop his own Sword Essence (still good intentions and they keep him fed and given his knowledge of formation there’s not much risk again). He breaks it without improving his sword… They give him a post of responsibility (though not very important).
7) They abandon him but they didn’t have much of a choice at the time plus we now know that the Sect leader was already wary of Kun Lun and worried about what they would do to Zhuo Mo so…
Seriously how do you get “the sword sect still was kind of group of bastards…to Zuo Mo at least.” from that ?!
Why did I, personally, get a feeling that Zuo Mo was somewhat mistreated by his old sect?
First of all, the elder’s didn’t really appreciate Zuo Mo’s gifts in ling farming, dan making, formation creating…etc. Why? Because “we are mighty sword sect so you have to be good at cultivating sword. We even put you into a torturing you-just-may-die-from-it sword cultivation formation to force you become a sword xiu. Oh, you practically won the sword cultivation competition with wit and formations? You brought such a shame upon us! Repent! Oh, you don’t want to become a sword xiu? We exile you with rubbish equipments and inexperienced cultivators to a faraway island…Oh, yaomo attack xiu world and are very near that said island? We leave you behind with a shrug…Knowing very well it means almost certain death to you and everyone with you…”
Soooo…I get why you think they were doing “okay”, but hopefully you get my pov too? They were blind to Zuo Mo’s strong points and bound by their good old traditions. And when Luo Li and company bullied Zuo Mo, the elders didn’t really care about ZM or anyone from the lower class. They did do some good things to Zuo Mo (saving his life at the start and all). But first he was totally under their radar and when they saw he had talent, they wanted to force him to do what they wanted him to do and when he refuced, they abandoned him.
Not very “good” people in my opinion. They had their good moments and tough love, but that still didn’t gain my respect and adoration. Zuo Mo’s teacher was the most likable out of them, she at least tried to understand Zuo Mo’s pov. Still, all of them were a lot better than anyone from Four Great Sects and didn’t deserve to die…
Wei Sheng saiyan confirmed. His power grows when he’s beaten up and now he levelled up because of the grief and anger.
Zuo Mo only gets a powerup in battle when he loses money. What kind of alien does that make him?
Jingshilla? Moneylien? 😁
Wei Sheng MC cheat activate! So If I interpret this right that sword an artifact from the ancient shen era either allowed Wei Sheng to borrow left over Shen power or an even more intriguing mechanism is it could actually be a full Shen Totem. I hope it is the latter I get the feeling that sword is a totem that is powered by blood but I don’t know if Wei Sheng has obtained shen power of his own yet. (If he hasn’t then it is only a matter of time)
I do hope some of their fellow sect members survived but things are looking bad…
Man, this chapter was a rush! I really want WS to meet back up with ZM’s group though! He’s got to see that there are 3 people from the sect left at least. Is there any hint about if it will take him a long time or not? 😀 Seriously, WS, your walkabout has gone on long enough! (We’re for sure that he only just passed into yuanying? I thought he was a lot farther along than ZM. I guess it doesn’t matter if you can take down people a whole stratus above you. Hmmm…)
I love that his sword has such a connection with him. He and Luo Li can take their swords out for double dates! 🙂
Yep. Cosy goukon indeed…one side sucks your dry (of blood) and other chains you (between life and death)…sooo typical marriage, cynical one might say🤔
ROIJFSDOIFJSD HAHAHA
Bitter is better
To translator’s ramblings:
My thoughts, exactly :[
Thanks for the chapter
Meatbun Delivery~
Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)
😲 Wei Sheng stole ZM’s seat as the MC!!
Ehm, hasn’t that been the case since chapter 1?🤔 Not that I disagree with the Holy Meatbun, ever! 😄
You’re right! As expected from my guardian! XD
I guess i forgot about his cave and desert adventure.. i only remembered his gambling adventure..
Thanks for the chapter WYHCWE and WanderingGummiOfDoom! I should have known that Wei Sheng would be the next to comprehend Shen power, and by himself without an inheritance no less.
I wonder if he’ll slaughter Kun Lun by himself while ge is busy destroying the other three?
36
Our hidden MC Wei leveled up faster than our little “MC” Mo. ^_________^.
Wei Sheng has always been a step ahead of Zuo Mo. First zhuji, then jindan. This is probably the first time Zuo Mo mas made it further faster.
Thanks for the chapter.

Thanks for the chapter!
The sword was like the endless void!
Vast, deep, and boundless!
Void sword sesence!
sesence should be essence!
“God-Killing Blood Sword, so that is what you are called.” this sounds like moments in games wherein one has used and carried around a powerful unidentified item (too poor to buy identification items), and an enemy would point out the identity of the item 😀
Thank you for translating!
I don’t know if this was already pointed out, but here’s a typing error: “Void sword sesence”- essence.
😮 Wei Sheng could very well be the MC of his own novel. He was slaughtering generals while he was only a brigadier/jindan level. Now that he’s yuanying he instantly made his domain??? No wonder Lin Qian is so wary of him 🙂
holy shit, wei shang in jindan slaughtering yuanyings like grass
