Scourge Messenger

Chapter 410 I'd rather betray the emperor's kindness

"Sword Gall Ash"

"Affinity: Skill 10, Defense 0, Fate 0"

Suitable token: Conquest

Basic effect: Can only be activated on sword-type weapons. You need to continuously consume Spirit Essence to maintain [Sword Gall Ash]. The Spirit Essence consumption is linearly related to the level and grade of the sword-type weapon.

Swords imbued with the [Sword's Courage Ash] status will continuously lose durability.

When a sword inflicts damage on a target, it leaves sword ash in the wound. The duration of the sword ash is related to the level difference between the attacker and the target, ranging from a minimum of one second to a maximum of ten seconds. Every second, the sword ash deals damage to the target equivalent to a direct sword attack, with the damage originating from the sword, triggering all special effects.

During the duration of the Sword Ash effect, if the messenger inflicts more Sword Ash wounds on the same target, the remaining Sword Ash wounds will be replenished, and the duration will be recalculated.

"Comment: He sheds no tears for joy or sorrow; his hair has turned white in the world, and his courage has turned to ashes."

Ying Rushi's hairband broke during the battle, her white hair danced wildly in the wind and rain, and beneath the shattered white fox mask were burning red eyes. This girl, who had always lived in Ying Le's shadow, finally blossomed with such dazzling brilliance.

ten seconds.

The [Overbearing] effect of the Heaven Sword only lasts for ten seconds.

The fighter jets that should have been able to operate only had ten seconds.

After confirming the specific effects of her supernatural powers with Yan Qing last night, Ying Ru knew she only had one chance. Ying Le might be a madwoman, but she was also an exceptionally intelligent one. She wouldn't stubbornly cling to the facade of face when she was at a huge disadvantage. Once she realized she might lose or even die, she would definitely abandon everything and run away.

Aside from life and death, nothing else matters. A comeback is not impossible. Even Emperor Shenwu once fought across most of the Central Plains. Who would question his experience? All people will see is the great Qi dynasty he left behind, which lasted for more than a hundred years, rising like the sun and enduring like the moon.

To kill a Foundation Establishment Messenger is like an ancient swordsman assassinating an emperor—there is only one chance. If the emperor reacts, millions will be slaughtered and blood will flow for miles, and it won't end until the last drop of blood is shed. Only by being so fast that the emperor cannot react can blood be splattered within a few inches, and the enemy be wiped out!

Now that Ying Le has used all her methods, Ying Rushi has no more doubts. Although she is still not entirely confident, this is the best opportunity she has had in the past ten years!
Domineering, activate!
A protective shockwave erupted around Ying Rushi, and the damage caused by the fierce battle and high temperature was completely healed in an instant, bringing her to the peak of her condition!

The sword's body lengthened as if melting, extending from two feet seven inches to three feet three inches. The blade was enveloped in a sword aura of boundless light, and lightning danced across its surface, like a true dragon coiled atop a mountain peak.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the dazzling flames left seven large characters in the air, which were the footnotes to the power of [Overbearing]: [Rather Teach Me to Be Defended by Heaven and Earth]!
Ying Rushi shook his head, and with a flick of his sword tip, the large characters in the light and flame instantly transformed into:

[I would rather teach myself to fail the grace of the king!]
"Legendary Four-Tier Reincarnation".

Ying Le's pupils constricted sharply: "You actually upgraded the Heaven-Slaying Sword to the fourth level!"

The only response Ying Le received was a flash of lightning that pierced through the wind and rain. Ying Le couldn't see Ying Ru Shi's movements at all and could only instinctively defend himself, but his shoulder was still struck by the sword ash! Ying Le turned his head to try to catch a glimpse of Ying Ru Shi's figure, but could only see a flash of lightning!

……

...

Last night, in the house of thieves, in the room that should have been.

"Are you really going to face Ying Le alone?" Yan Qing asked.

“You have witnessed the power of the [Eye of the Mortal Realm] in the Demon Gathering Land; Ying Su was almost powerless to resist it. If you have a way to resist my [Eye of the Mortal Realm], I am certainly willing to settle this grudge with you.” Ying said earnestly, “But if you are powerless against even my [Eye of the Mortal Realm], then you should not have stepped into the battlefield between me and Ying Le; you will only become Ying Le’s weapon.”

After a brief silence, Yan Qing nodded: "Alright, but... if we create an opportunity for you to have a showdown with Ying Le, how much of a chance do you think you have?"

"Fifty percent," Ying said. "At most fifty percent."

“Only 50%…” Yan Qing lowered his head and thought for a moment. “I can agree, but we must do one thing first.” Ying Ru was startled. Meeting Yan Qing’s serious gaze, she turned around abruptly, feeling her cheeks burning hot.

She walked to the bedside and sat down, her fingertips tracing the soft sheets. She glanced around the room out of the corner of her eye. Because Yan Qing had been coming over frequently these days, she had to tidy up the room. Although there was no aromatherapy or other ambiance, it was still quite clean and elegant overall. There were also fireworks on the desk, which made the whole room feel warm.

She pursed her lips, pressed her legs together without leaving a gap, and said in a voice with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, "Okay."

“This is the Purple Gold Fire Essence I bought from Master Suolong. It can upgrade the token by one level, but the price is a 10% reduction in maximum durability. This is the Thunder Spirit Pearl, which can unconditionally upgrade the token by one level, up to the fourth level.” Yan Qing stretched out his hands, each palm holding an item: “We will upgrade the Heaven-Slaying Sword to the fourth level.”

Ying Ru stared blankly at Yan Qing, who raised an eyebrow: "What? Do you intend to use a second-tier legendary token to fight Ying Le?"

"No, I just..." Ying Ru Shi tensed up, her hands supporting her knees, looking down at her fuller figure, too embarrassed to meet Yan Qing's gaze. She was filled with both shame and gratitude: "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, Foundation Establishment Pill, and now this Enhancement Token... I'm afraid I'll let you down..."

“Then let’s win it back,” Yan Qing said. “Win ​​back your past, your present, your future… all in this battle!”

……

...

"Heavenly Sword"

"Rank: Fourth-Tier Legendary"

"Durability: 90/90"

Base Attack Power: 90~100 points of Sharpness Damage + 20 points of Lightning Damage

"Equipment requirements: 15 points of Qi and Health, 10 points of Spirit and Soul"

"Equipment Requirements: Advanced Swordsmanship MAX"

Weight: 1.3 jin (approximately 650 grams)

Length: 2 feet 7 inches

"Effect - Governance: Only by not contending can one be conquered by all under heaven. When the Heaven-Slaying Sword is sheathed, a Heaven-Slaying Domain will be generated within ten steps of the sword master. You can designate your allies to continuously recover spiritual energy within the domain, recovering 0.5 spiritual energy per second (messengers below the third rank will quickly reach full spiritual energy). This effect will remain for one day after leaving the Heaven-Slaying Domain."

"Effect - Chaotic World: Without the Heaven-Slaying Sword, who can contend with it? Consecutive attacks by the Heaven-Slaying Sword against the same enemy will deal more damage, with each attack increasing the damage by 40 points. This effect can stack, but will gradually fade after 10 seconds. The Peaceful World effect will still exist after the Heaven-Slaying Sword is drawn."

"Effect - Overbearing: I would rather teach, I, betray, the, heaven, and the, people!"

You need to consume all your current spiritual energy to activate Overlord's Might. Once activated, the effect of Heavenly Domain will be increased by 1000%, and you will immediately recover 100% of your spiritual energy.

Your injuries heal instantly, and you unleash a shockwave that knocks back surrounding enemies and projectiles.

During the duration of the Overlord's reign, the Chaotic World effect that has already been triggered will not fade away.

During the duration of the Overlord's Domination, you receive the blessing of the Thunder Spirit Orb, which allows you to consume spiritual energy to accelerate your movement. The more spiritual energy you consume, the faster you move.

The Overbearing Foundation lasts for ten seconds, and for each ally within the Heavenly Realm, the duration is extended by one second.

Before the Overlord's effect ends, you will be in the 'Heavenly Body' state, where any displacement, stun, or interruption effects will have little effect on you. All attacks you receive will be reduced by 30% and absorbed entirely by the Overlord's Body, having no impact on you. However, the cost is that accumulated attacks will erupt immediately after the Overlord's effect ends.

"Evaluation: A hero who quelled chaos and ushered in a golden age!"
