System: Replicating The Heavens-Chapter 481: Ch : A Bizarre Situation

Seven Evil Blades of Hell?

Alex frowned. After all, he had only sensed five Evil Blades of Hell, not seven.

What about another two then? Where are they? Or... What happened to them?

At this moment, the Sect Master lowered his head, as if he were carrying a mountain of painful memories.

"Senior… after we discovered that our sect had been infiltrated by two Evil Blades of Hell, the situation only grew worse. All seven of them suddenly appeared inside the sect one day. They did not hide themselves, nor did they speak politely. They simply came straight into our main hall and demanded one thing."

The Sect Master's hands tightened.

"Where is that mysterious Guest Elder?"

"That was the first thing they asked. But we had no answer. We truly did not know where he had gone. He disappeared without leaving any trace. When we told them this truth, the seven Blades of Hell became angry. In fact, their anger was not normal at all. It was pure madness. Ignoring our pleas, they began slaughtering our disciples instantly. They killed anyone standing in front of them. They laughed while they killed and even used the corpses of disciples to write strange symbols on the ground. It was horrible. Everything was horrible."

Around him, several elders lowered their heads. Some gritted their teeth, trying to hold back fear. Others had tears in their eyes. The memory was clearly still fresh and painful.

"We tried to fight, but it was useless. Even though our sect had many powerful experts, we could not stop even one of them. Seven… seven of them together was a nightmare we could not survive."

As the Sect Leader spoke, his shoulders trembled slightly. Clearly, just recalling that event was enough to send a cold chill down his spine. Everything was so terrifying that day after all.

"In the end, we were forced into a corner. The elders and I had no choice. We decided to bring out those two girls… Allegra and Lucia. They were dear disciples of that mysterious Guest Elder after all. We thought… no, we hoped that if the Evil Blades saw his disciples, they would stop killing. And maybe… just maybe… that Guest Elder would appear to protect them."

"But who would have thought our decision brought an even greater disaster that directly weakened the Heavenly Eagle Sect to the lowest position in millions of years."

The sect leader paused for a long moment before continuing.

"When the seven Evil Blades of Hell saw the two girls, they did not stop. Instead, they captured them. They chained them in front of the sect. And then, they began torturing them. They wanted the Guest Elder to appear. They thought that if they tortured his disciples, he would be forced to come out."

"They tortured the girls in horrible ways. Their bones were crushed. Their blood soaked the ground. Their screams echoed across the mountains. But the mysterious Guest Elder never appeared."

Alex's eyes narrowed coldly, but he stayed silent. He had a few questions in mind, but he didn't bother to ask because the Sect Master was not done yet. He was still speaking. Who knows, Alex's questions might obtain an answer before asking.

"And then," the Sect Master said while taking a step back, as if the memory itself scared him. His voice was clearly trembling, but he continued speaking, "Something impossible happened."

"As those two girls were being tortured, cold energy suddenly burst out of their bodies. It was so cold that even the spiritual energy in the air froze. Their cries stopped. Their eyes turned blank. And in the next moment, they actually began to fuse."

At this time, the sect master stopped for a second and swallowed hard.

"Two bodies and two souls... Two completely different girls… They actually fused together. We had never seen such a thing before. Their bodies melted into each other like water merging. Their energy twisted, screamed, and then exploded."

"When they finished fusing, the being that appeared in their place was terrifying. It was far worse than anything we had ever faced. The two had become a single being and no longer looked human. Their entire body was covered in strange symbols, and their aura was more terrifying than that of any warrior I had seen. I would even say its aura was stronger than yours."

"In a rage, she attacked and killed two of the Evil Blades of Hell instantly."

"You should know those two Evil Blades of Hell were Death Domination Stage warriors, yet they were killed by a single finger of hers. Even as they died, they did not realize they were already dead. That situation... how should I explain it?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

As the Sect Master spoke, a bizarre expression appeared on his face. He recalled that scene, and the puzzle in his heart became more complicated. His voice shook as he looked directly into Alex's eyes and said, "Can you imagine two corpses behaving like they were alive? Can you believe a scene where two dead bodies suddenly stood up again, turned their heads, and looked around as if they were trying to understand how they died? Their eyes were open, their mouths were moving, and for a moment, it felt like they were still alive even though their souls had already vanished."

Taking a deep breath, the Sect Master fell silent. He took a few minutes to calm his chaotic emotions and then continued.

"Those two girls had become one, but their fusion was not perfect. They had already lost their mind. They could not tell friend from enemy. Or perhaps, our action of handing her over had angered them thoroughly. They didn't hesitate to attack us as well. They killed several of our elders."

"The being that appeared after their fusion… her power was wild. In fact, you could say her strength was completely out of control. The remaining five Evil Blades of Hell had to join forces and use many methods and powerful trump cards just to escape. But even then, they were still severely injured by her."
