"You have obvious killing intent towards me. Why is that?" Lin Huang looked at the monster curiously. "Also, I think you look familiar …"
Lin Huang quickly searched through his memory. After a while, he finally found a similar monster from a memory that he had seen four years ago.
"One-eyed, wearing a bamboo hat, using a sword …" The monster in his memory overlapped with the monster in front of him.
"I remember now." Lin Huang stared at the monster and said slowly, "You're the first Life Fire monster that I've encountered since I leveled up to transcendent. You're the Regal Sword Killer that I killed four years ago!"
The reason why Lin Huang did not think about it was that he had already killed the monster in his memory. He subconsciously ignored the fact that he had already killed the monster. Moreover, the monster's body and size had changed quite a bit. That was why he did not recognize the monster at first.
Now, the memory was clear.
Lin Huang compared the monster's aura with the monster in his memory with the monster in front of him. Although the aura had changed drastically, he soon found the similarity. He was now sure of the monster's identity.
The monster in front of him was not only the first Life Fire monster that he had encountered since he leveled up to holy fire-level, but he had also obtained a complete Monster Card – the Regal Sword Killer.
However, Lin Huang was puzzled as he looked at the monster in front of him.
"I'm curious. I killed you back then. How did you survive?"
Lin Huang was sure that he had killed the monster as Xiao Hei had given him a clear kill notification and he had even obtained a complete Monster Card.
Even if the monster had resurrection abilities, Xiao Hei would not have given him a kill notification as long as he had not killed it.
However, it was a fact that he had obtained the Regal Sword Killer. It could only mean that he had really killed the monster.
As Lin Huang thought about the paradox in his mind, he suddenly thought of another possibility.
The monster was really dead. However, after Xiao Hei had confirmed its death, it was resurrected by something.
Lin Huang's eyes lit up as he thought about this. He wanted to know how the monster had come back to life after it had died in real life.
The one-eyed monster noticed the change in Lin Huang's gaze. It was confused at first, but now, it seemed like it had discovered something interesting. It could not wait to dissect Lin Huang to find out the secrets in his body.
The Cyclops Monster gulped. It did not like the way Lin Huang looked at it. It felt like it was a piece of meat on a chopping board. It shuddered at the thought of that. It tried to struggle, but its limbs and neck were still locked. There was no way it could break free.
He watched as the corner of her lips gradually curled up into a smile. Her lips quivered as she spat out a few words. "Raise your head and look into my eyes."
The one-eyed monster lifted its head uncontrollably and looked into Lin Huang's eyes.
Those dark blue eyes were as deep as the starry sky.
In the next second, the huge scarlet eyeball of the one-eyed monster quickly turned into a deep blue, as if it was frozen.
The Control-level God Rule, Brain Reading, started working.
The progress bar of Brain Reading increased slowly. Lin Huang waited patiently.
After about a minute, the memory of the one-eyed monster was completely retrieved.
Lin Huang flipped through the newly obtained memory quickly, looking for the secret that he wanted to know the most — how did the monster come back to life after its death?
Before he found the answer to this question, Lin Huang read the whole process of it killing the third wave of the Coalition government team from the monster's memory.
It used the illusion created by the Water Elemental Enlightenment to confuse all the team members. It then followed them like a cat toying with mice, killing them one by one.
Even the message that they were safe was sent by the monster in the illusion. It then made them cut off the communication signal on their Emperor's Heart Ring the moment they sent the message.
The goal was simple. It wanted to create a mystery to attract more explorers and create more prey for itself.
The reason it hunted humans was not because it hated Lin Huang. It was because it could learn human sword skills. Coincidentally, there were sword cultivators among the three waves of explorers from the Coalition government.
The rest of them had become innocent burial objects for the sword cultivators.
Lin Huang was not surprised that the Coalition government's missing persons case had been solved. When he saw the monster use the Water Elemental Enlightenment to create an illusion clone, he had guessed that the monster was 80% likely to be the culprit.
Since it could create an illusion, it had the ability to kill the Coalition government teams.
Putting the Coalition government's missing persons case aside, Lin Huang continued to search for the answer he wanted.
He soon found the scene that he wanted to see the most.
The wind howled on the dead silent Elam Island.
There were two full moons in the sky, one red and one purple, that shone with quiet moonlight.
At midnight, under the black soil, a faint golden glow appeared where the Regal Sword Killer's heart that had completely exploded was.
Black deathly aura began to flow into the golden glow from the wound on the Regal Sword Killer's chest all over the island.
The Regal Sword Killer's body was going through a strange, drastic change.
It wasn't until four or five o 'clock in the morning that the scorching darkness on the island completely dissipated.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the island at dawn, the Regal Sword Killer's body that was buried in the soil opened its crimson eye slowly …
"What's that golden glow in its heart?" The dark blue in Lin Huang's eyes faded as he looked down at the center of the monster's chest where its heart was.
He thought about it for a moment and a God Weapon battle sword formed in his hand.
At that moment, the monster regained consciousness.
"You're a sword cultivator too. I'll show you my final respect!" As soon as Lin Huang was done speaking, the tip of his sword shot out. The long and narrow blade pierced through the monster's chest and tore its heart apart again.
Just when Lin Huang was about to swing his sword down to cut open the monster's chest and dig out its heart, the monster's body disintegrated and dispersed. It turned into black starlight spots and went into Lin Huang's body.
When the black starlight touched Lin Huang's body, he hesitated if he should dodge it. However, he did not sense any threat from the starlight, so he gave up on dodging.
He sank a part of his consciousness into his body to check where the starlight was going. After the starlight entered his body, it went straight to the card area and went into one of the cards.
Lin Huang took a closer look and realized that it was Killer's card.
Just as the black starlight was about to completely penetrate Lin Huang's body, a golden glow suddenly leaped out of the black starlight and turned into a bolt of lightning, entering between Lin Huang's eyebrows.
It was so fast that Lin Huang did not even have time to react. He immediately checked where the golden glow was going.
The golden glow crashed into his soul space like a meteor and went straight for his Sword Soul. Finally, it entered the battle sword formed from the Sword Heart in the Sword Soul's hand.
Then, the golden seal on the sword lit up again. The golden divine patterns that looked like living creatures began to change violently at a speed visible to the naked eye. They shifted and finally condensed into an even more complicated and ancient seal.
Lin Huang felt dizzy just by looking at the seal.
After the new seal was formed, the golden glow on the surface of the sword gradually faded. It slowly appeared on both sides of the sword hilt in the form of reliefs.
At this time, Lin Huang suddenly sensed that his Sword Dao true meaning was constantly becoming stronger. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the bottleneck of peak True Meaning Level and reached a whole new level!
The three major levels of Sword Dao true meaning were True Martial, True Meaning, and True Self.
Lin Huang had been stuck at True Meaning Level for some time. He had even used the Time Cabin Card but had not been able to break through.
He did not expect to break through at this time.
Just as Lin Huang was feeling surprised, another notification came from Xiao Hei.
"Congratulations, the mythical-level rank-4 Monster Card Regal Sword Killer has evolved and advanced to supreme god-level rank-5!"
