The Messenger of Death

Chapter 239: bloodline purification v

"Drop me" Xander requested immediately he took over.

Nana had no qualms about doing that, so she released him and let him fall freely.

As Xander was falling, he saw that the eels that were there had already noticed his presence and they were gathering around the place that he was going to fall in.

"Oh ho, let's see if this would be interesting." She smiled when she saw the eels looking at Xander.

"Either you kill the hostile beasts in this swamp or you find a way to keep them away from you while you chant the sutra. You figure out a way for yourself." Nana said to Xander.

['This shouldn't be a problem for you right?'] Alex said, nervously.

['A problem or not, I'll deal with it.']

-Ttzzznn!!

Xander activated his bloodline ability and rose-gold lightning enveloped him. His cultivation was at the fourth rank of the disaster realm, and activating his bloodline ability means that his cultivation rank will jump up 7 ranks.

So at the moment, Xander is a rank-2 nirvana realm cultivator.

Xander could feel the raw strength that came along with the boost and it made his body shake in excitement.

He wanted to find out the most that he could do, how strong a nirvana realm cultivator is.

['Now this I want to experience.'] Al Commented. He too wanted to know how strong they have become.

-Splash!!

Xander landed in the middle of the school of eels, and immediately they attacked him. The water of the swamp wasn't that high, the water level was just a few inches above his knees.

The area where he landed, strangely, the lightning that seemed to be everywhere in the swamp wasn't present there. He found it strange but chose not to pay any heed to that now.

Xander quickly removed the two twin twilight swords from his storage ring. 

-Slash!

-Slash!!

Without wasting any time, he swung his sword at everything that was heading for him. Although Xander was fast, he wasn't fast enough to stop all of them from reaching him.

Some of the eels were able to get past his defenses. The lightning that usually shot down everything that approached Xander struck, but it wasn't able to cause harm to the eels.

About 5 eels were able to come in contact with Xander, alive and they all opened their mouths to bite him

-Thud!

Simultaneously, the eels hit him. Their attempts to bite him failed. At this point, Alexander's body was too strong for the teeth of the eels to penetrate his skin.

This change is due to the metamorphosis that he went through after the fire dragon in him consumed the fiery natural anomaly.

Xander quickly used his swords to slice the eels that bit him. He killed them in a second. 

-Ttzzznnnn!!

One of the eels shot lightning at Xander with the intention of disabling and paralyzing him.

"Hmm." He gave a low grunt. Even if Xander was immune to lightning to an extent, the lightning that the eel shot was beyond his immunity towards the element.

It shocked him, and for a few seconds, Xander felt like his blood had been drained away from him.

He got dizzy but still, he stood his ground.

['Use the boost from your Sword Dao to help you deal with these slippery things.'] Al suggested and Xander did just that.

When he tapped into his Sword Dao, his cultivation rose from the second rank of the nirvana realm to the third.

-Ttzzznn

Xander's lightning became violent, the presence of Sword Dao concepts in his lightning made them stronger, and unlike before that didn't cause any damages to the eels when they struck; this time they sliced everything in their path.

Making things easier for Xander. With the Sword Dao concepts in his lightning, it didn't take him long to clear the schools of eels that wanted to feast on him.

As soon as they were gone, the part of the water that Xander was standing on started conducting green lightning, just like the rest of the swamp.

It started slowly, and then within a second, it returned completely.

"Argh!!" Xander cried out when the lightning came in contact with his skin. His resistance towards this lightning was weak. He dropped to one of his knees and that only made things worse.

"Arrrgghh!!" He shouted out in pain.

['Start chanting the sutra.'] Al reminded him.

Xander slowly started to recite it, word by word and soon the pain stopped. Or more like, with the help of the sutra, he was able to cut off his pain receptors.

The lightning from the water was still frying his skin but at a slow pace.

['I never knew how much of a thick skin we had.'] Al muttered.

Xander closed his eyes as he could feel himself summoning the lightning within him.

"I don't think you should be doing that now, you still have more guests to attend to." Nana's voice reached Xander's ears and he opened his eyes.

While he was still chanting the sutra, he saw that he had been surrounded by crocodiles, hungry ones.

Xander still had his swords in his hands, and strangely, he could hear them whisper. Like they were excited that they were about to taste more blood.

Unlike Al that found it hard to multitask while chanting the sutra, Xander didn't see any difficulty in doing that. He knew that if he stopped chanting the sutra when he's still in the water, that pain will return.

-Whoosh.

He shot at them, slicing and dicing everything in his way. The skins of the crocodiles were also strong and hard to cut through, but that is an issue for people that wields normal swords.

Their thick skin didn't pose an issue to the twin twilight swords, they cut through them like a hot knife cutting through butter.

Blood splashed everywhere as Xander continued to slash and swing his sword.

-Bam!

-Slap!!

One of the crocodiles behind him shot a ball of lightning at his back. This startled and interrupted Xander, creating an opportunity for the crocodile beside him to use its tail to slap Xander.

That hit sent him flying. He bounced on the surface of the water a few times before rolling.

"Argghh!!" He exclaimed in pain.

Xander quickly resumed chanting the sutra. He was kind of pissed that he was dealt with that way.

For a few seconds, he thought of what to do.

['Do you want me to deal with them for you, Xander?'] Al asked. ['You know my flames are so hot now that it will only take a second for me to cook these little water lizards.'] He boasted.

['No, thank you. Your flames are too hot, you might mistakenly evaporate the entire swamp and if that happens'] He kept quiet because he didn't need to explain that.

['Haha, suit yourself.'] Al was happy that Xander recognized the new lengths of his strength.

['Someone's nose is getting too long, forgetting that he's not the only one that can use that element.'] Alex mocked.

['Shut up, you little virgin girl.'] Al insulted.

['No you shut up, gigolo. I bet you'd suck a dick if it came with boobs and a pretty face.'] Alex snapped.

['Woah!! Woah!! Chill amigo!'] Al felt insulted, he took offense.

"Hmm!!" Xander gave another low grunt, he almost slipped up while chanting the sutra. Alex and Al were the cause of that slip.

['Could the two of you be silent? You are not helping at the moment.'] Xander uttered coldly.

['Sorry.'] Alex apologized.

['I just want to say, if I did suck a dick just because it came with a pretty face and boobs, I would be using your mouth to do that.'] Al said quickly.

Hearing that made Xander and Alex gag.

['Xander, use your AOE attack.'] Alex suggested, changing the subject.

['You don't need to tell me twice, I'm already in the process of doing that.']

-Zznnn!

Thick black clouds began gathering over the swamp and rose gold lightning flashed randomly in the clouds.

Slowly, Xander began rising into the air.

Xander felt his usual AOE attack wouldn't be enough to deal with the crocodiles, just like it wasn't enough to deal with the eels up until he decided to use the Sword Dao concepts.

Now, he was thinking of integrating the Sword Dao concepts into his AOE attack.

He started doing just that, infusing the concepts into his AOE attack. Xander could feel the changes that were happening to his lightning in the dark clouds.

Suddenly, the rumbling sound of thunder stopped echoing. It became silent.

A single sword that resembled the one in his hands, made of lightning, came out of the cloud.

['What the hell is that?'] Al blurted out.

['A lightning sword, blind f*ck.'] Alex muttered.

['Wait and see what's going to happen next.'] Xander interjected.

After waiting for another second, thousands of swords similar to the first that came out appeared in the sky.

It covered half of the swamp.

A little smile climbed up Xander's lips when he saw this
