Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 563 Sir, Please Come Upstairs

Zhang Ling took a deep breath, then drew the long sword from behind, pointed at the Heaven-Swallowing Toad and said, "I came here to destroy you!"

The Heaven-Swallowing Toad laughed loudly and said, "Just you? You are overestimating yourself!"

"You'll know if you overestimate your own abilities after you try!" Zhang Ling said, then he swung his sword and rushed towards the Heaven-Swallowing Toad...

At this moment, a mysterious man in a black cloak suddenly appeared in the valley. He laughed coldly and said, "It looks like there's going to be something interesting to watch... The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The power in this kid's body is mine!"

The firelight in the cave flickered, illuminating the old man's face with wrinkles all over it. Zhang Ling felt a splitting headache, and a large number of memory fragments flooded into his mind like a tide. He realized that he was not from this world, but came from another technologically advanced world. Everything before was like an absurd dream.

"The soul fragments of the Sky-Swallowing Toad will continue to look for hosts, absorb the host's vitality, and strengthen itself." The old man poked the campfire with a dead branch, and the flames jumped up, illuminating his cloudy eyes. "Sakata Nobutsu is just one of the victims, and you are the only one who can stop this."

"Why me?" Zhang Ling rubbed his temples, trying to digest this information.

The old man looked at him meaningfully and said, "Because you have a special power in your body."

"What power?"

The old man did not answer directly, but took out a black stone from the animal skin bag and handed it to him: "This 'Xuanming Stone' can help you control the power in your body. You try it."

Zhang Ling took the stone and felt it was cold. A strange energy flowed from the stone into his body, and he felt his blood boiling. A powerful force surged in his body, as if it was about to burst out of his body.

"Concentrate and feel this power." The old man instructed.

Zhang Ling closed his eyes and tried to control the power. Gradually, he felt that he could control the energy. He opened his eyes and the black stone in his hand actually emitted a faint red light.

"Very good." The old man nodded with satisfaction, "You have already mastered the 'Mysterious Power'. Next, I will teach you how to use it."

In the next few days, the old man began to teach Zhang Ling a set of exercises called "Xuanming Magical Skills". This set of exercises can bring the "Xuanming Power" to its extreme and has the power to destroy the world.

Zhang Ling was originally a martial artist, and with the help of the "Xuanming Power", he quickly mastered the essence of this set of skills.

"The Sky-Swallowing Toad's weakness lies in its eyes." The old man said, "As long as you can hit its eyes, you can severely injure it."

"I understand." Zhang Ling clenched his fists, the flame of revenge burning in his eyes. Sakata Nobutsu, the enemy who took away everything from him, he must destroy him with his own hands!

Under the guidance of the old man, Zhang Ling began to conduct actual combat training. He waved the Xuanming Stone in his hand and exerted the "Xuanming Power" to the fullest. The trees around the cave were destroyed by him, leaving a mess.

"Your strength is already strong enough." The old man looked at Zhang Ling with a hint of admiration in his eyes, "It's time to face the Sky-Swallowing Toad."

"I'm ready." Zhang Ling took a deep breath, his eyes full of determination.

The old man brought Zhang Ling to a hidden valley. In the center of the valley, a huge cave exuded a gloomy atmosphere.

"The Sky-Swallowing Toad is inside." The old man pointed at the cave and said, "Remember, you must be careful."

Zhang Ling nodded and walked into the cave resolutely.

The cave was pitch black, and Zhang Ling moved forward cautiously, holding the Xuanming Stone tightly in his hand.

Suddenly, a deafening frog croaking sound echoed in the cave.

"Ah-"

Then, a pair of huge red eyes lit up in the darkness, like two ghost lights, which was creepy.

Sky-Swallowing Toad!

Zhang Ling's heart sank, he knew he had no way to retreat.

"Sakata Nobutsu, here I come!" Zhang Ling roared, waving the Xuanming Stone and rushing towards the Sky-Swallowing Toad.

A world-shaking war is about to begin...

Deep in the cave, the huge body of the Sky-Swallowing Toad was entrenched in a sticky liquid. Its skin was rough, covered with bumps, and exuded a disgusting fishy smell. Its huge red eyes stared at Zhang Ling, full of greed and violence.

"How dare you, a lowly human, break into my territory!" Sakata Nobutsu's voice came out from the mouth of the Heaven-Swallowing Toad, full of teasing and mockery, "Do you think you can stop me?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Ling shouted angrily, "Today it's either you or me who will die!"

After saying that, he injected the power of Xuanming into the Xuanming Stone. The black stone suddenly glowed brightly, and a powerful energy wave swept through the entire cave.

"Xuanming Divine Art!" Zhang Ling shouted, waving the Xuanming Stone, and a sharp black light shot towards the eyes of the Sky-Swallowing Toad.

The Sky-Swallowing Toad seemed to feel threatened and suddenly opened its mouth wide, gushing out a smelly green liquid in an attempt to block the black light.

However, the black light was unstoppable, penetrating the green liquid and hitting the eyes of the Sky-Swallowing Toad directly.

"Ah-"

The Sky-Swallowing Toad let out a shrill scream, and its huge body began to tremble violently. Its left eye was hit by the black light, and blood gushed out.

Seeing this, Zhang Ling was delighted, he knew he had succeeded!

However, at this moment, something strange happened...

The fire in the cave flickered, illuminating the old man's face with wrinkles all over it. Zhang Ling looked at the old man, full of doubts. Mountain God? Sky-swallowing Toad? These all sounded like fairy tales. But he clearly remembered the horror of the giant toad, the small toads that surrounded him, and the suffocating feeling of being on the verge of death. All of this was extremely real.

"Ancient magic?" Zhang Ling couldn't help but ask, "What kind of magic is it?"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously: "This is the 'Chaos Art'. If you practice it to perfection, you can control everything in the world and change the destiny of the world."

"Control everything in the world?" Zhang Ling thought to himself, could this old man be a liar?

As if he had seen through Zhang Ling's thoughts, the old man snorted and said, "Boy, don't be suspicious. I am the mountain god born from this world, how could I deceive you?"

Zhang Ling thought, this old man is quite arrogant. However, at this point, he could only choose to trust the old man.

"Okay, I believe you." Zhang Ling said, "Then how do I practice this 'Chaos Art'?"

The old man stretched out a finger and touched Zhang Ling's forehead. A powerful energy instantly flowed into Zhang Ling's body, making him feel numb all over.

"I have already taught you the formula and mental method of 'Chaos Art'." The old man said, "You only need to practice diligently, and you will be able to master the mysteries."

Zhang Ling closed his eyes, feeling the energy surging in his body, his heart full of anticipation.

In the next few days, Zhang Ling devoted himself to practicing the "Chaos Art" in the cave. He found that the "Chaos Art" was indeed extremely mysterious and could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

As his practice deepened, Zhang Ling felt that his body had undergone tremendous changes. His strength and speed were greatly improved, and he was also able to control the natural elements around him, such as water, fire, wind, thunder, etc.

On this day, Zhang Ling was practicing controlling the water flow when he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside the cave.

He walked out of the cave and found a group of villagers gathered at the entrance, all looking terrified.

"Lord Mountain God, please save us!" A villager knelt on the ground and cried.

"What happened?" Zhang Ling asked.

"The Sky-Swallowing Toad...The Sky-Swallowing Toad appears again!" another villager said tremblingly.

Zhang Ling's heart trembled. It seemed that what was supposed to come had finally come.

He followed the villagers to the entrance of the village, only to see a huge toad lying in the center of the village, spitting out its scarlet tongue and swallowing the villagers one by one.

This toad was even bigger than the one Zhang Ling had encountered before, and it exuded a disgusting fishy smell.

"Beast, stop it!" Zhang Ling roared and rushed towards the Sky-Swallowing Toad.

The Sky-Swallowing Toad seemed to sense the threat from Zhang Ling. It turned its head and let out a deafening croak.

Zhang Ling was not afraid at all. He formed seals with his hands and controlled the water elements around him, forming a huge water curtain that enveloped the Sky-Swallowing Toad.

The Sky-Swallowing Toad struggled in the water curtain, roaring angrily, but was unable to break free.

Zhang Ling was delighted when he saw this, it seemed that the "Chaos Sutra" was indeed effective!

He increased the force of control, and the water curtain gradually shrank, tightly binding the Sky-Swallowing Toad.

The Sky-Swallowing Toad's breathing became more and more rapid, and its body began to swell.

Zhang Ling knew that this was a sign that the Sky-Swallowing Toad was about to explode.

He did not dare to delay and quickly took a few steps back, while controlling the water curtain to wrap the Sky-Swallowing Toad more tightly.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the Sky-Swallowing Toad's body exploded, turning into blood, flesh and mucus all over the sky.

Seeing this, the villagers cheered and burst into tears of gratitude towards Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had finally fulfilled his mission and successfully prevented the resurrection of the Sky-Swallowing Toad.

However, at this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Ling's mind.

"Boy, do you think this is the end? This is just the beginning!"

Zhang Ling's face changed. This voice...is Sakata Nobutsu!

He looked around but did not see Nobutsu Sakata.

"Sakata Nobutsu, where have you been hiding? Get out here!" Zhang Ling roared.

"Hahaha, I'm everywhere and nowhere." Sakata Nobutsu's voice was full of sarcasm, "Do you think that you can stop my plan by killing the Sky-Swallowing Toad? You are too naive!"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Zhang Ling asked.

"I will make you live a life worse than death!" Sakata Nobutsu's voice was filled with resentment, "I will make you experience all the pain I have experienced!"

Zhang Ling's heart sank. He knew that the battle between him and Sakata Nobutsu had just begun...

Suddenly, Zhang Ling felt a severe headache, and everything in front of him became blurry. He felt as if he was in a chaos, and everything around him became distorted and deformed.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ling was horrified.

"Hahaha, this is my gift to you." Sakata Nobutsu's voice sounded again, "Enjoy it!"

Zhang Ling felt his consciousness gradually fading away. He tried desperately to stay awake, but to no avail.

Just when he was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appear in front of him.

She was a woman in a white long dress, with a beautiful face and extraordinary temperament.

"You are..." Zhang Ling wanted to speak, but no sound came out.

The woman smiled slightly, stretched out her slender hand, and gently stroked Zhang Ling's face.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." The woman said softly.

Zhang Ling felt a warm energy surge into his body, gradually calming his confused consciousness.

"Who are you?" Zhang Ling was finally able to speak.
