1889 First Encounter with Lord Ming

Zhang Ruochen was a highly capable sword cultivator who had a special connection with swords that gave him the ability to sense the intensity of the sword path emitted by the six swords.

The sword path radiation revealed that they were of top-grade, definitely above Ten-Radiance Thousand-Inscription sacred artifact.

Looking into the distance, Zhang Ruochen saw a blood cocoon under the six sacred swords.

The cocoon was about 100 feet in diameter, made up of blood-red striations.

The blood-red striations descended and spread on the ground, dyeing tens of miles of land red. 

The face of a man suddenly poked out from the blood cocoon. His hair was unkempt and he let out an evil smile at Zhang Ruochen.

"What is that?"

Zhang Ruochen felt a pain in his eyes, his body shuddering, followed by a sense of lightheadedness.
