Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 389 Forging the Knife
"System, dismantle the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade!"

"Cancel the decomposition".

"System, dismantle the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade!"

"Cancel the decomposition".

"break down!"

"Cancel."

Li Zheng knelt on the ground, panting heavily. The demonic blade was planted on the ground. He kept giving orders to dismantle the demonic blade, then canceling them, seemingly struggling with whether or not to actually dismantle it.

The demonic blade trembled violently during the process, and its trembling intensified with each time Li Zheng uttered the word "decompose".

Until it could no longer bear it, it sent a faint message to Li Zheng: I'm sorry... I was wrong, please forgive me, Master.

"System, dismantle the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade!"

This time, Li Zheng paused, neither confirming nor canceling.

Because Star-level items are very rare, the terminal will give a reminder when a player requests to dismantle them, asking if they are sure they want to dismantle them. This is to prevent players from accidentally dismantling items they need.

silence.

Silence is the sound of Waibaidu Bridge tonight.

The atmosphere around the Demon Blade gradually became oppressive. Which of the players who had obtained it before didn't treat it as a treasure?

They served the demonic blade as if it were their own ancestor, taking whatever they wanted.

To my utter surprise, the guy I encountered this time was weaker in terms of life level than anyone before, yet he was more ruthless than anyone before.

The Demon Blade had a simple intuition that Li Zheng really dared to break it down, and it wasn't just a threat!

Buzzing... Ring ring...

The tremors of the demonic blade gradually turned into a crisp metallic clanging sound; it was terrified, terrified that Li Zheng would dismantle it.

'Master...Master, please forgive Dao Dao this time. I'll never dare to do it again!'

'Please, do not tear me apart!'

'Woooo...'

'Wow--'

The will that the demonic blade had transmitted to Li Zheng gradually collapsed, and it burst into tears. Its current feeling was regret! Utter regret!

It regretted that it had awakened Li Zheng's true consciousness; otherwise, it could have acted freely and indulged in blood-drinking pleasure today and in the future.

After the criminal is caught, you ask him: Do you regret it?

Most criminals would answer: I regret it, I really regret it!

Do they truly regret the crimes they committed?

Do not!
What they regretted was that they hadn't been more careful and had gotten caught!

That's the kind of thinking Demon Blade is now; he's incorrigible.

Li Zheng never canceled the decomposition. The demonic blade went from being terrified at the beginning to collapsing and begging for mercy. When it saw that it had no effect, it began to send threatening thoughts to Li Zheng, its murderous aura surging.

However, regardless of the Demon Blade's reaction, Li Zheng held the blade firmly, unmoved.

He was recovering his mental strength and also working on his knives.

Just like training a hawk, train this demonic blade!

He must seize this opportunity to completely subdue the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade; otherwise, he will always be on edge and dare not use it casually in the future.

'Inferior creature! Inferior creature! How dare you threaten the noble Demon Blade Master!'

'Once I recover to my peak, I will drain all your life essence and blood to my advantage!'

'Damn it! Damn it! Cancel the decomposition now!'

'Cancel!!!'

The Demon Blade was furious. Its simple will had been enhanced because it had just absorbed a large amount of blood from a half-step Star Glory creature.

But it couldn't understand why this person was so unyielding, whether it was soft or hard.

"Have you finished cursing?" Li Zheng opened his eyes, his voice hoarse and cold.

The demonic blade suddenly trembled and dared not move again.

'I'm...I'm sorry...'

It instinctively sent out a thought of admitting its mistake, only to be immediately overcome with shame. The noble Demon Blade Master was actually frightened into admitting fault by a single sentence?

Unforgivable inferior beings!
The Demon Blade was enraged.

"Would 'sorry' do any good? Why don't you curse me a couple more times?" Li Zheng stared coldly at the Demon Blade.

That gaze seemed to see through everything, and the demonic blade shuddered, its anger instantly dissipating.

'I was wrong……'

"anything else?"

'I'll never do it again.'

"You'll never dare to do it again?"

'I will never again dare to control my master's body on my own.'

"and then?"

'From now on, I will definitely obey my master's orders.'

"Hmm." Li Zheng suddenly grabbed the blade of the demonic sword and slashed it sharply, blood staining the blade.

'Blood!!!!'

The demonic blade instantly became excited and instinctively wanted to absorb the blood, but then suddenly remembered something and suppressed its desire.

Li Zheng watched as his blood slid from the blade to the ground, seemingly unabsorbed. His face remained ashen, and no one could discern his intentions.

After a while, he got up and plunged the demonic sword into Perricone's headless corpse, the hilt of the sword disappearing completely.

"Eat!" He opened his mouth and uttered a single word, but it was an order for the demonic blade to eat.

'Really...really?' The Demon Blade hesitated, not daring to take a bite.

"I told you to eat, so eat! Why all the nonsense?" Li Zheng coldly ordered again, "Eat!"

"Yes, Master!" The Demon Blade was overjoyed and frantically extracted the remaining blood from Perek's corpse.

The pleasure of feasting caused the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade to emit a delightful, crisp sound, like a wind chime being struck, which was quite pleasant to hear.

"stop!"

Suddenly, Li Zheng uttered a single word.

The crackling sound stopped immediately, and the demonic blade dared not suck any more blood.

Now, Li Zheng was completely satisfied and nodded slightly: "From now on, you must understand the situation. I am the master and you are the slave. You can only eat if I let you eat. If I don't let you eat, even if I let you insert it, you are not allowed to move at all!"

"I don't care about your rank, potential, or even your background."

"You must obey me!"

"Otherwise, we'll break you down into materials and destroy your consciousness!"

"Understand?"

These words sounded incredibly authoritative to the Demon Blade, carrying an aura of unassailable authority.

It weakly replied: I...I understand...

Li Zheng frowned. Oh, his eyebrows hadn't grown in yet, so it wasn't obvious. "Speak louder. Haven't you eaten?"

"I understand! Master!!" The demonic blade used all its strength to send out its thoughts.

"Okay, the rest is up to you. Don't waste a single drop of blood. Cherish the food, understand?" Li Zheng nodded, released the demonic blade, and issued a command to the system: Cancel decomposition.

Now the demonic blade relaxed completely, emitting a clear and melodious sound, and began to suck vigorously. Perek's corpse shriveled and lost its color at a visible speed.

Even the blood that had flowed and spilled on the ground was drawn away by the demonic blade, flying into its "mouth" to be devoured and digested.

While the Demon Blade was enjoying his meal, Li Zheng turned and walked to the side, using the airflow from his aircraft to disperse the poisonous fog. He found a place to sit down and instantly became exhausted.

This battle started effortlessly, then nearly turned around by Perrick, and finally the Demon Blade devoured its master.

Li Zheng's mental strength, physical strength, and genetic energy were all greatly depleted, almost exhausting all his remaining energy for the day.

Exhausted, he longed to return to his capsule home and rest immediately.

With his back to the Demon Blade, Li Zheng sat cross-legged, closing his eyes to rest.

After a short while, all of Perrick's remaining blood was absorbed by the demonic blade, leaving not even a trace in his internal organs.

puff!
The demonic blade automatically drew from Perek's corpse and flew toward Li Zheng's back.
