Chapter 1698


    The Hellfire Sword was a world-renowned sword that belonged to the founder of the Pris Sect.


    Legend had it that the sword was forged using quartz steel formed deep beneath a volcano. The quartz


    steel only came into existence during a volcano eruption that took ce a long time ago. After the great


    efforts of many cksmiths, the Hellfire Sword was born


    The sword was candescent, just like a soldering iron. The moment it was unsheathed, its temperature


    would climb rapidly. The Hellfire Sword was also a renowned divine sword in history that was ranked


    fourth among all divine swords.


    Zekiel became the new owner of Hellfire Sword after he discovered the Hellfire Sword in the holy site of


    the Pris Sect. Although he was unremarkable, this sword allowed him to unleash a power that far


    surpassed his strength.


    Holding the Hellfire Sword in his hand, he looked at James with a bright smile, seemingly trying to


    boast that he had such a divine sword in his possession


    Though James knew little about swords, he could see that the Hellfire Sword in Zekiel’s hand was a


    true divine sword.


    He smiled faintly and said, “Come at me.”


    “Here Ie, James.”


    As he said that, he charged toward James at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he appeared


    before James and shed with his sword


    As he shed, there was a violent st of wind.


    “What a powerful aura


    “What a powerful sword….


    As Zekiel shed with his sword, many outside the arena could not help but take a deep breath.


    Zekiel’s speed was extraordinary, and his force was great. The moment he shed, the bluestone


    surface of the arena shattered into pieces. Tiny stones and pebbles swirled around James and instantly


    disintegrated into many tiny pieces.


    At that moment, James struck. He exuded a powerful aura, and the surrounding debris was sent flying.


    Then, he brandished his sword


    Swish!


    As he brandished the Primordial Dragon de, a golden light appeared, and a shapeless Sword


    Energy burst forth.


    James seldom brandished his sword over the past year. Now that he had brandished his sword, even


    Zekiel was stunned. At that moment, Zekiel could only sense a terrifying Sword Energy rushing toward


    him. Under the suppression of the Sword Energy, he could feel his aura weaken.


    “How terrifying.”

    Zekiel was shocked.


    While he was momentarily stunned, James charged toward him, and the Primordial Dragon de


    collided with the Hellfire Sword.


    Boom!


    As the two swords collided, powerful Sword Energy formed ripples that tore through space. Upon


    seeing this, everyone fled in panic.


    Meanwhile, the castle was sliced in half


    Boom!


    The castle copsed.


    Fwoosh!


    Two figures emerged from the rubble and continued fighting in the air.


    nk!


    Sparks flew as the sword shed


    Zekiel staggered backward due to the terrifying power. At that moment, his arm went limp, his Blood


    Energy churned, and his True Energy turned violent. Unable to suppress the violent True Energy inside


    his body, he suffered grave internal injuries.


    Blergh!


    He vomited a mouthful of blood and staggered backward. The stones and pebbles beneath him were


    sent flying by the powerful aura.


    He only managed to recollect himself after retreating for a thousand meters. Wiping the blood trace off


    his lips, his expression turned grim


    Before, he had been defeated by James After learning the Pris Sword Art and obtaining the Hellfire


    Sword, he thought he had finally surpassed James Even if he could not surpass him, they should be at


    After the brief battle, he now knew that the difference in power between him and James had only


    widened


    “Eat this, James!”


    Zekiel roared


    As he roared, he appeared in the sky and struck James with the Hellfire Sword
