From Sword to Slaughter: Evolution

"You, a mere Martial Master, are just heading to your death!" Besnor continued to shout angrily.

The man's expression grew somber. But Besnor was right. Lin Luoluo had killed close to twenty Martial Masters—a fact that many witnesses could confirm. Moreover, Lin Luoluo had seemingly gained a lot from the secret realm, making her even stronger now. To send Martial Masters after her was tantamount to sending them to their doom.

"The royal family is furious about this," Besnor added, his eyes icy cold. "I'm under a lot of pressure, do you understand that?"

The kneeling warrior's forehead was slick with cold sweat.

"Tsk tsk, Nor, it seems you're quite troubled these days."

A voice suddenly echoed from the doorway. Besnor looked up and saw a tall man standing at the entrance.

"Longkos Hell…!?" Besnor's expression shifted slightly. The man belonged to the royal family and was none other than Longkos Hell, a powerful commander.

"Hell, you're here?" Besnor's face lit up with surprise and relief. The two of them shared a close relationship.

"Yes, I heard you're very interested in getting your hands on that Silver Clan woman's sword?" Hell asked nonchalantly, casting his gaze toward Besnor. He was clad in silver battle armor, and his towering figure exuded a powerful aura.

Martial King!

"Indeed," Besnor nodded, his expression tightening. "That sword is no ordinary weapon."

"Of course, Soul Severing," Hell remarked, a peculiar grin spreading across his face.

"You know about it!?" Besnor exclaimed, taken aback.

"You think no one else knows?" Hell scoffed. "Many saw what happened in the White Dragon Mountain secret realm. That woman used her sword to shatter S-rank weapons!"

"Too many people are aware of it now."

Hell's tone was cold. After all, a sword that could break S-rank weapons had drawn the attention of many. People had already started to investigate.

"Not only me—other Martial Kings have also started using their intelligence networks to track the sword," Hell continued. "That sword was originally from the Tianba Empire, but how it ended up with that girl remains a mystery."

Besnor's expression grew even darker. If so many were after it, his chances of claiming the sword were slim.

"I, too, want to see if that sword is truly as miraculous as they say," Hell said, his voice turning icy.

"But I can't even find a trace of her now," Besnor replied, reluctantly giving up on the idea of getting the Soul Severing Sword.

"Don't worry, I have a way to make her appear," Hell said with a sly smile.

"Oh? What plan do you have?" Besnor asked, intrigued.

"According to the information I've gathered, she values her people, the Silver Clan, very much. All we have to do is capture one of them, and she'll come running," Hell explained.

"But the Silver Clan was wiped out..." Besnor began but trailed off as Hell shook his head.

"No, there are still some left."

"If that's the case, we can set up an inescapable trap," Besnor added, a sinister glint in his eye.

...

Meanwhile, Lin Luoluo had already entered the Douxing Great Forest.

A low, guttural roar echoed through the trees, and within moments, powerful and terrifying beasts sensed Lin Luoluo's presence, baring their fangs as they charged toward her.

Lin Luoluo remained unfazed. She drew her sword.

As sword light flashed, the beasts were instantly cut down!

"So many Level Nine beasts," Ye Fan marveled as he witnessed the swift slaughter. "This is amazing. It's like an evolution point farm!"

He was elated. The Douxing Great Forest was teeming with powerful beasts, far more than they had expected. Lin Luoluo had already killed countless Level Nine beasts in such a short time.

After gathering the beasts' crystals, Lin Luoluo found a quiet spot and sat down to cultivate. With a thought, she summoned all the crystals she had just collected from her storage space. They littered the ground around her, sparkling with powerful energy.

"These could fetch a fortune if sold," Ye Fan remarked. In this world, as long as one was a strong warrior, earning gold was easy. All one had to do was hunt high-level beasts and sell their crystals. However, most powerful warriors preferred to absorb the crystals' energy for themselves, as advancing in strength became increasingly difficult.

Lin Luoluo focused her mind, and the massive energy within the crystals began flowing into her body. Thanks to the Chaos Divine Art, her ability to absorb and process energy was far beyond that of ordinary warriors.

Soon, she could feel her strength gradually increasing.

If any other warriors had witnessed her rapid cultivation, they would have been stunned.

"The evolution points have reached 4.15 million," Ye Fan noted excitedly. "Only 850,000 more to go before I evolve."

850,000 points wasn't much. Just killing 90 more Level Nine beasts would do the trick.

SS-rank evolution... I wonder what I'll become? The thought alone filled him with anticipation.

Lin Luoluo continued cultivating until midday the next day.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently as a deafening roar reverberated through the forest.

The force of the roar was so immense that the surrounding earth trembled.

A powerful beast had appeared!

"A Beast King?" Ye Fan said, surprised.

A Beast King was equivalent to a Martial Master. Killing it would yield 100,000 evolution points!
