My Substitute CEO Bride

The cleaver seemed to have self-awareness and rushed straight toward Ryan with lightning speed.

Ryan felt the killing intent as well. With quick response, he jumped into the air and avoided the blow of the cleaver. Strangely, the cleaver appeared behind him before Ryan could recover.

When the cleaver charged toward Ryan this time, he did not turn around in time. He simply used the god-slaying sword on his back to flick the cleaver away. Ryan leveraged that force to turn around and delivered a horizontal slash that cut across the sky. The cleaver took a hard blow, but it was still intact.

Ryan was puzzled, but what happened next eliminated his doubts.

Ryan and the cleaver returned to the barrier. The cleaver remained motionless in the barrier.

After a while, it fell apart and put itself back together again like a conscious being. The cleaver was growing muscles, organs, and bones.

The cleaver had become Bonesaw himself!

Bonesaw merged with the cleaver as one. He was now nearly two meters tall.

Ryan raised the god-slaying sword with both hands, focused downward, and stood in the barrier. Although he was shocked by what he saw, he quickly gathered himself to prepare for another attack.

Everyone on the viewing platforms was shocked by Bonesaw's strange technique.noveldrama

Benedict shuddered at what he saw.

"How do you achieve this level of resilience and consciousness? From the presence erupting from that person's body, I can tell that he's at least at the level of the Divine Sojourn Realm."

"But what kind of ability is it? It's like a man and a sword merging into one."

Nash said with a nonchalant expression, "It's not the merging of a man and sword. Essentially, Bonesaw is the cleaver itself. An artifact that has gone through an alchemy process would gain consciousness, thus becoming human." Clint was shocked by Nash's explanation. He looked at Zaafea, who frowned and blurted unconsciously, "How can this be..."

Nash retorted, "Why not? Every being and object has true energy. The reason why animals and humans can cultivate is because we have self-awareness. That doesn't mean that artifacts can't.

"Some artifacts can produce true

energy from the moment they're made, which means that it's

possible for an artifact to gain

consciousness. However, these net

artifacts are still objects, after all.

For one to cultivate like a human being, it's simply harder than reaching the sky. Moreover, artifacts have limitations."

"Limitations?"

"That's right. An artifact's class type basically determines its realm of power. If it's just a couch or a chair, it won't be able to cultivate. Therefore, this cleaver was already forged at the level of the Divine Sojourn Realm."

During the conversation, Ryan and Bonesaw had already started their second round of battle.

Ryan initiated the attack. This time, he changed strategy and stabbed Bonesaw directly.

Bonesaw's eyes darkened. He raised his right hand mechanically like clockwork. His right hand suddenly transformed into a shield made of bones, easily blocking Ryan's stab. However, Ryan's attack was not over yet. After the stabbing blow, Ryan flipped into the air. He held the god-slaying sword backward and thrust it upward with all his might!

Bonesaw's right hand was cut off instantly.

Ryan pulled away and took a few steps back, quietly observing Bonesaw.

Bonesaw was highly reserved, but he seemed to be irritated and glared at Ryan. Even after some time, Bonesaw's arm had not recovered. Ryan smiled with confidence.

"As expected, your skills are

executed by your bones. Since you gathered all your bones just now, your right hand can't recover right now. In other words, unless you. е contro Dit, you won't be able to recover like a normal personif someone hurts your body or damages your bones, right?"

Before Ryan could finish, Bonesaw turned his left hand into a spear and thrust it at Ryan.

Ryan faced him head-on and swung the god-slaying sword.

Both weapons clashed with each other in a fierce collision of true energy.
