Upgrade Specialist in Another World

Zheng Kai didn’t pause even as blood sprayed forth from the body of his enemy. His right foot sent the corpse flying to the left before he disappeared once again!

“Watch out!!”

Everyone was on high alert now. A Late-stage Soul King was the next one to sense Zheng Kai teleporting near him. Wielding a giant cleaver, the Soul King swung it at once toward where he felt the disturbance was coming from!

Zheng Kai reappeared in that moment right in the path of the cleaver stroke!

“Zheng Kai!!”

Kou Tingting shrieked in terror.

“Clang!!”

Zheng Kai raised his right hand, stopping the cleaver in a shower of sparks before breaking the head of the cleaver from the handle!

“What?!”

The Late-stage Soul King stared at his broken weapon in shock—how did that happen? His soul armament was a mid-heaven tier! It wasn’t supposed to break at all!

“Whoosh!”

Before he could think of a proper answer, the Late-stage Soul King felt the stench of death begin to assault his nose. Looking up, he saw a demonic red light come flying down on him!

His sharp eyes could see what kind of soul armament it was—Zheng Kai was holding onto some kind of fan-shaped weapon. It was a bit large for a fan and had strange blood-red sawtooth blades around the edges of the fan!

He raised the cleaver handle up to protect himself while also leaping back.

“Crack!!”

As expected, the cleaver was broken once again by the fan. Zheng Kai’s soul armament continued downward to slash across the Late-stage Soul King and send him flying.

This time however, the Soul King was still very much alive. He flipped to his feet and glared at Zheng Kai in a murderous rage. A deep scar ran across the body armor he wore underneath his robes.

“What...what kind of soul armament is that?!”

He shouted. That soul armament Zheng Kai wielded gave him a deep sense of fear for some reason. He couldn’t understand why his opponent had suddenly gotten so much stronger, so much faster, and so much more brutal! And what was with his soul armament? How could it possibly be that strong!?

“Aahhh! Just die!!”

Zheng Kai didn’t look too upset about failing to kill the Late-stage Soul King. Instead, he gave a primal howl and leaped at him once again with bloodshot eyes to kill!

“Whoosh!!”

The red light coming from his soul armament shined once more as he leaped at the Soul King. Multiple beams of blood-red light swept across the field to attack at its foes!

“Dodge them!!”

The elder shouted. Abandoning his plans to attack, he shot higher up into the sky to avoid being hit in the waist by the streak of light.

Five or six people were currently dodging the beams of light Zheng Kai was shooting out from his soul armament. None of them dared to block them and instead opted to dodge instead.

Six beams of red light swept the area beneath the Soul Kings feet before Zheng Kai twisted his hand and swiped upwards!

Everyone watched as the light beneath their feet froze still. It swirled agitatedly as if being forced to alter its course of direction and shot upward along the same direction Zheng Kai commanded!

“Ahh!!!”

One unfortunate metal-type Early-stage Soul King didn’t realize he’d be attacked again. A wave of golden light covered his entire person and transformed into a set of golden armor. In his hand was a golden shield he placed below him to protect himself from the second attack.

“Pcht!”

Despite it being made of elemental metal, the defenses of the Soul King crumpled like it was paper. The bloody beams of light tore through those defenses as if it didn’t even exist and split him from the right side of the waist all the way to the left shoulder! A fatal blow!

The blood light paused, but didn’t dissipate from sight. It merely retracted back toward Zheng Kai. Strangely enough, any blood drops that touched the red light was sucked into the blade hidden within it...

“Bzz...”

Some of the Soul Kings thought they were just hearing things at first, but the weapon Zheng Kai was using was actually letting out some kind of strange noise. It sounded as though it was excited to be taking in the blood of those it killed.

The blade trembled in Zheng Kai’s hand, but Zheng Kai’s entire right arm seemed to be quivering as well. His eyes were still bloodshot and the veins under his skin bulged outward in an unnatural way. But the strangest thing about Zheng Kai was the fact that his aura was still spiking in intensity!

“The Demon Edge!! That’s elder Qin’s Demon Edge!!”

The shriveled elder shrieked the moment he saw the weapon in Zheng Kai’s hand. He knew that soul armament!

The Demon Edge was the soul armament Bai Yunfei received from Qin Bangjie and named into something else. The soul armament Zheng Kai had in his hand was the Vampiric Demon Edge!!

It was the same soul armament Bai Yunfei said to be a weapon he didn’t dare use often. For some reason, this powerful demon armament was in Zheng Kai’s hands!

It was because of Nalan Yin’s prophecy. Bai Yunfei had been thinking heavily about what he meant by an omen of bloodshed and what possible danger Zheng Kai could be in. When he learned about the plight of the Water School, Bai Yunfei thought that this the most likely situation Zheng Kai could be in trouble over.

Bai Yunfei didn’t think Zheng Kai would be in any danger if they stuck together. But in the case they split up? Figuring that it was best to cover all the outcomes, Bai Yunfei gave Zheng Kai a few upgraded soul armaments, the Vampiric Demon Edge was just one of those soul armaments he gave.

He felt that if by chance Zheng Kai were to get into a life-or-death struggle, then this demon armament would most definitely be of help.

Bai Yunfei even made sure to warn Zheng Kai thrice over about the potential danger of using the soul armament and the ‘side effects’ from using it. Unless he or Kou Tingting were in danger, it was best that the Vampiric Demon Edge stayed in his space ring!

......

“The Demon Edge?! That Demon Edge?!”

“It’s the demon armament! It’s even stronger than the rumors said! How does he even have that weapon?!”

“Kill...kill him!!”

The shriveled elder shouted, but no one responded. They all knew the absolute power Qin Bangjie had when he used that demon armament. It terrified them. And for some reason, the demon armament looked even more terrifying in Zheng Kai’s hand.

“Die!!”

Since they weren’t moving, Zheng Kai decided to be the one to take action first. Shouting out loud, he then disappeared!

He was teleporting again!

A chill went up everyone’s spines at once. Fearful that he might show up behind them, everyone began to look this way and that, prepared to move at a moment’s notice.

“Ah!!!”

Zheng Kai’s first target was an unfortunate earth-type Early-stage Soul King. He only had enough time to scream before his soul armament was snapped in two and the Vampiric Demon Edge speared through his heart!

“Pcht...”

The Vampiric Demon Edge greedily absorbed all the blood in the Soul King’s body, and in no time at all the Soul King was left as a dry husk.

“Boom boom boom boom!!”

The other Soul Kings launched their attacks onto Zheng Kai, but they only succeeded in destroying the corpse of their comrade while Zheng Kai teleported out of sight.

“Ah!!”

There was another scream as a new victim was found. This time, it was a wood-type Mid-stage Soul King. The Vampiric Demon Edge had cleaved open his abdomen!

Another barrage of attacks were aimed at him once again. Parrying most of the attacks with the Vampiric Demon Edge, Zheng Kai deflected the other attacks with a bubble of energy. This time, a few attacks made it through his defenses and left gruesome marks on his shoulder and leg.

If it hurt, then Zheng Kai didn’t show any signs of being in pain. He simply flicked his hand to behead the wood-type Soul King he stabbed just a moment ago.

The Vampiric Demon Edge shined ominously in the sunlight, the blood it absorbed giving the demon armament a nasty sheen. Zheng Kai’s aura grew once again in one explosive leap the moment the second Soul King was killed. Even though he had wounds all over his body, Zheng Kai’s person was oddly clean of blood. If anything, the blood from his wounds were being drawn into the demon armament in his hand!

Zheng Kai looked more like an animal than a person by this point. His mouth exhaled steam whenever he breathed and his eyes were more red than white.

“Kill! Kill!!! Killll!!!!”
