As if hitting a solid object with a loud clunk, the light on the bracelet flickered wildly and a trace of Demon Qi began to contaminate it, corrupting its spirituality.
*Pu…*
Ye Jing Han spurted a mouthful of blood, her aura instantly weakening.
The bracelet artifact was her Natal Artifact, cultivated together with her own life essence from when she was young. If this artifact was damaged, her physical body would also be affected. She immediately retrieved the bracelet with a wave of her hand as a deep fear gripped her.
Looking down at the bracelet, a black Qi intertwined around it, gradually spreading to its surroundings, corroding everything it touched.
Ye Jing Han was mortified as only now did she fathom the gap in strength between herself and the dark shadow.
“Kill!” The hoarse screeching voice which sounded like metal rubbing against metal sounded, making the two people present extremely uncomfortable.
Yang Kai composed himself as he lifted the Myriads Sword once again towards the black shadow. Staring at his opponent solemnly, he shouted in a low voice, “Who exactly is Your Excellency? What is your relationship to that One-Eyed Great Demon?”
“Kill!” The black shadow repeated the same word, ignoring his question.
“Are you underestimating me?” Yang Kai was furious and a golden gleam suddenly appeared in his left eye, activating his Demon Eye of Annihilation to spy on the black shadow.
He wanted to see exactly who this black shadow was.
The sight which greeted him, however, turned Yang Kai’s expression strange as he muttered in shock, “This… this is…”
Yang Kai could see through all illusions using his Demon Eye of Annihilation, so he was able to observe the true form of the black shadow.
He discovered that this black shadow, just like Liu Yan, was not a living thing at all, but a kind of existence similar to an Artifact Spirit assuming human form.
However, this dark shadow’s original form seemed to be a giant hammer.
The hammer was hidden and enclosed in the black shadow’s body and contained a boundless amount of Demon Qi. Exquisite runes flowed across the surface of this hammer like living creatures.
Yang Kai felt a sharp sting in his left eye, followed by a moist and hot sensation trickling down from its corner.
He forced himself to examine the shape of the hammer carefully, feeling a sense of familiarity the more he looked at it.
Then, he remembered.
He had indeed seen this hammer before, not in his life, but rather from when he scanned the memories of Young Lord Jiang Chu He of the Jiang Family.
When the Demon Qi flooded Maplewood City previously, Jiang Chu He had been transformed into a Demon when he was corroded by the Ancient Demon Qi. Yang Kai and Qin Yu had worked together to display a Secret Technique that allowed them to scan his memories at the time.
Among those memories was one of this hammer.
During a great ancient battle, the weapon used by the Ancient Demon was this War Hammer. Its power was all-conquering and countless ancient mighty warriors had died tragically under it.
“Demonic War Hammer!” Yang Kai yelled as he quickly dismissed his Demon Eye of Annihilation, not daring to look at it again.
If it really was the Ancient Demon’s War Hammer, it made sense for the Demon Spirit sealed in Yang Kai to resonate with the black shadow. There was an inseparable relationship between the two, and it was only natural for them to react to each other.
If that was the case, the mighty men in ancient times did not only seal the Black Eye of the Ancient Demon here, but also the Demonic War Hammer!
It was just that the Demonic War Hammer had been suppressed by the Eighteen Stars Grand Array and was only just now released!
Perhaps it was related to the Source Crystal lode that Yang Kai collected. The Source Crystal lode could have been the key to suppressing the Demonic War Hammer!
Although that was his deduction, Yang Kai did not feel any regret in collecting the Source Crystal lode.
Silavin, Original Title – Demonic War Hammer
Also, not like you have any regrets taking treasure away from the start. When has that been the case?
