Eternal Thief

At this moment, within the Corpse General’s inner soul world filled with corpse Qi, the ethereal arm of his undead soul had likewise been cleanly severed, and the severed portion instantly dispersed into countless fragments before disappearing forever.

The Corpse General’s face instantly turned deathly pale in alarm.

After all, for a Corpse Cultivator, losing their corpse vessel wasn’t a big deal as long as they could retain their entire Undead Soul; they could always possess and refine another corpse vessel.

But if their Undead Soul got damaged or destroyed, it was truly over for them.

’Impossible! How...? My soul...my undead soul was injured?!’

The Corpse General’s mind was filled with cold terror, as even if his corpse vessel had been destroyed, his undead soul shouldn’t have suffered such devastating damage.

Not even Law attacks should have directly synchronized both injuries so perfectly. It was as though that sword had simultaneously cut body and Undead Soul, especially the latter, as he felt a peculiar sensation of being suppressed by Ace’s sword intent!

On the other hand, Ace remained expressionless as the Corpse General panicked.

He slowly spoke, "First Draw!"

Ace had used the Three Drawing Slaughter Art, a lower-domain-grade Sword Drawing Spell Art of the Weaponized Mystic Haven.

This Spell Art was the most powerful Kharon had learned after spending all his fortune, and despite having the complete spell art, He hadn’t mastered the final draw.

But Ace was different because of his advanced Sword Heart; he instantly grasped the true insights of this spell art and made it his own.

The Drawing Slaughter Art was based on sword drawing, and every draw pursued one principle: absolute speed, absolute precision, and absolute lethality.

Combined with Ace’s Advanced Sword Heart and his unique sword path, its power had undergone a complete transformation. Not to mention, Ace wasn’t using it with Abyssal Qi or even Primordial Spirit Qi.

In truth, Ace was using the sword law through the Force of Darkness, which has a terrifying suppression on an Undead Soul, and with it, he didn’t even need to learn any external spell to counter the Undead Race.

That’s why he was able to suppress the Abyssal Lord Realm Corpse General and inflict terrifying lethality on him.

Moreover, Ace wasn’t worried that anyone here would recognize the Darkness Force, as it was a forbidden power that had long since vanished from Heaven and the Abyss.

Not even the Dread Duchess or Evernight Kings could unravel its mysteries, and they would only think that he had achieved this effect with Sword Heart.

At that moment, the Corpse General finally understood that this wasn’t an opponent he could defeat. He immediately abandoned all thoughts of fighting.

His corpse Qi erupted violently as he made an instant decision, ’I have to escape! But I can’t expose my Undead Soul; this guy is too dangerous!’

Yet just as that thought surface in his mind...

’Shing...’

The second sword draw arrived, and again, no one saw the sword, but another streak of black lightning flashed across space before vanishing.

Silence returned immediately afterward, and the Corpse General’s entire body froze as fear completely replaced every other emotion.

Without hesitation, he reached for his storage ring to retrieve a life-saving treasure; as long as he activated it, he could survive.

"Come out!" He roared.

But the next moment, nothing happened, and his expression stiffened.

’What?!!’

Alarmed again, he looked downward towards his remaining left arm, and to his horror, it had already separated from his shoulder as it slowly tumbled through the air.

It was another perfectly smooth cut, and only then did unbearable agony erupt once more. His undead soul screamed. Its second arm completely dissipated into countless particles.

The Corpse General’s mind nearly collapsed.

’Impossible...!’

But there was something even stranger, not to mention worse, because his connection to his storage ring had vanished, which should be impossible even if his arm were severed.

However, he had no idea that at the exact instant Ace unleashed his second sword draw, Eva had quietly used the soul threats to wrap around the storage ring from his blind spot, and with a flicker of her intent, the pickpocket was activated.

The next moment, it disappeared without the slightest fluctuation. It was perfect timing and perfect cooperation, exactly as they had planned. Ace was distracted, and Eva stole it, and not even the Corpse General noticed until it was already too late.

Far away, Eva couldn’t help smiling beneath her veil.

’As expected...working together with Ace really is effortless. But isn’t he showing off too much?’

The Corpse General stared at Ace in utter horror, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"You..."

He had finally realized that this quiet guardian wasn’t prey but death itself!

Before another word could leave his mouth...

’Shing...’

The third draw and a single streak of black lightning crossed heaven and earth, appearing and disappearing, returning to silence.

Ace never seemed to move, and Killing Slaughter remained peacefully sheathed at his waist.

The battlefield became eerily quiet, and the Corpse General slowly lowered his head before a thin black line appeared from the center of his forehead, and it spread down his face and across his torso, straight to his waist!

"..."

His eyes lost every trace of life, and the next instant...

’BOOM!!’

His entire corpse vessel split perfectly into two halves before exploding into countless black fragments.

At the same time, his undead soul suffered the exact same fate; split cleanly down the middle. Before instantly shattering into billions of soul particles.

No scream, no escape, both body and soul... perished together, leaving only drifting black dust. The surrounding battlefield suddenly became deathly quiet as every nearby Corpse Cultivator stopped fighting. Even the Evernight Earls were astonished and forgot to move.

They all stared blankly at the solitary figure standing calmly in the sky. His sword had never visibly left its sheath. Yet, an Abyssal Lord had died from three sword strikes.

"..."

"..."

One Evernight Earl unconsciously inhaled sharply.

"What...kind of swordsmanship was that?"

Another Earl’s expression grew more serious than ever, "I never even saw him draw..."

Even several Evernight Marquises turned their gazes toward the unknown guardian.

The casual indifference on their faces had completely disappeared.

Replacing it was an alarm, not because an Abyssal Lord had fallen, but because they had witnessed something far more terrifying.

An unknown sword cultivator, one who possessed swordsmanship capable of threatening even them.

High above, even the Dread Duchess remained completely silent, her beautiful eyes never leaving the quiet figure standing before Eva.

For the first time, she no longer looked at Kharon as merely an ordinary follower. Instead, she looked at him as a sword cultivator worthy of being remembered!
