From Sword to Slaughter: Evolution

Lin Luoluo activated her Phantom Step Technique, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared right in front of the bald warrior. With the Soul Severing Sword in hand, she thrust it forward with lightning speed.

Clang—

Despite the overwhelming speed of the strike, the bald warrior was fast enough to block the attack with his battle axe. The force of the blow, however, sent him stumbling back a few steps.

Before he had a chance to recover, Lin Luoluo pressed her advantage, launching a flurry of attacks with her sword.

Clang, clang, clang—

The relentless barrage of sword strikes clashed against his battle axe, sending deafening echoes through the air.

"Damn it! How did her strength suddenly increase so much?" The bald warrior's expression twisted with fear. An unsettling dread crept up inside him.

The power Lin Luoluo was exhibiting felt as if he was facing a mighty Martial King.

[Phantom Dance]!

Lin Luoluo activated the skill tied to her Soul Severing Sword, her body transforming into a blur of shadows.

Clang, clang, clang—

To the warrior's horror, it seemed as if dozens of Lin Luoluo's forms were attacking him simultaneously. He frantically swung his axe, attempting to block the rapid succession of strikes.

Fast—far too fast!

The bald warrior's eyes widened in realization. She was deliberately striking his battle axe!

Suddenly, he noticed it—his battle axe was covered in cracks.

It dawned on him that his weapon was on the verge of breaking. If it shattered, he would be at a severe disadvantage, especially against an opponent wielding such a terrifying sword. But it was too late.

Clang—

A sharp, clear sound rang out as his axe finally broke into two pieces. The energy from the shattered weapon was instantly absorbed into Lin Luoluo's Soul Severing Sword.

[Absorbed Special Energy: 400,000 Evolution Points]

"Four hundred thousand points? A bit weaker than other S-rank weapons, likely a lower-grade S-rank," Ye Fan mused aloud.

The bald warrior staggered backward in shock, but he wasn't done yet.

[Ninth-Level Martial Technique: Inferno Dragon Burst]!

With his left hand gripping his right wrist, he extended his right palm toward Lin Luoluo. A massive wave of fire energy erupted from his hand, forming a blazing dragon that roared as it charged at her.

Lin Luoluo, however, remained calm.

Heaven's Mandate Sword Technique!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Countless sword lights danced through the air, slicing the fire dragon apart before it could reach her.

"This... this can't be..." The bald warrior's eyes widened with disbelief. She had cut through his martial technique!

As he stared in shock, Lin Luoluo's aura surged even stronger. She raised her Soul Severing Sword, and in an instant, energy coalesced into hundreds of sharp, glowing swords.

The bald warrior was horrified.

"What kind of martial skill is that!?" the surrounding warriors gasped, equally stunned by the sight.

"Go."

With a single word, Lin Luoluo slashed her sword downward, sending hundreds of energy swords hurtling toward the bald warrior.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The energy swords descended like a storm upon the Martial King.

"Raaagh!" he roared in panic, pouring all his energy into forming a protective barrier around himself. The transparent shield enveloped his body as he tried to fend off the assault.

Bang, bang, bang—

Each energy sword struck the barrier with immense force, causing cracks to spiderweb across its surface.

At that moment, Lin Luoluo leapt into the air, her sword poised for the final blow.

The bald warrior's eyes filled with terror as she came down, the Soul Severing Sword slicing through the air.

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, Lin Luoluo appeared behind him.

His eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

"How... how could I... die..." His voice faltered as a deep gash appeared down the center of his body.

Thud—

With a final thud, the Martial King's body split in half, collapsing to the ground. Blood sprayed out in every direction, all of it flowing into the Soul Severing Sword, feeding the weapon's insatiable thirst.

As the sword absorbed the Martial King's blood, a portion of the energy was transferred back into Lin Luoluo, fully restoring the blood energy she had consumed during the fight.

Not only that, but the remaining energy from the fallen Martial King's body also poured into her.

[Slain Martial King, Gained 1,000,000 Evolution Points]

[Absorbing Martial King Blood Essence, Gained 100 Energy Points]

[Absorbing Martial King Blood Essence, Gained 100 Energy Points]

...

[Sufficient Evolution Points Detected, Initiate Evolution?]

[Sufficient Evolution Points Detected, Initiate Evolution?]

"Evolve!" Ye Fan shouted excitedly in his mind.

Finally, the time had come. He was going to evolve into an SS-rank weapon!

"Run!" Huang Zhenyan and the other warriors panicked, fleeing for their lives. The sight of the Martial King being slain was too terrifying.

"That woman... she's too strong!"

Lin Luoluo glanced in the direction of Huang Zhenyan and the others, ready to strike. However, before she could act, the Soul Severing Sword in her hand began to tremble violently.

"Hmm?"
