Chapter 40: Ask The Sword In My Hand First

Zhuang Huisheng’s expression turned grave instantly after he heard Zhou Xuanji’s furious swearing, his eyes emanating with killing intent.

Old Qing was even angrier. His body grew taller and his muscles expanded until his clothes were almost torn. He stared at Zhou Xuanji and said, “How bold! Daring to insult the young master… Do you want to die?”

Although Sword God Zhou was talented, what was the point of nurturing a disobedient dog?

“Xuanji… Be careful…” Little Jiang Xue reminded him.

She saw with her own eyes the things that Zhuang Huisheng did. He was like a devil.

In her eyes, Zhou Xuanji was too weak to defeat Zhuang Huisheng.

But she chose to believe in him.

Her little brother always performed miracles.

Under the silver mask, Zhou Xuanji’s eyes were burning with fury and killing intent.

In this world, Little Jiang Xue was the most important person to him. He had never treated her fiercely, let alone hit her.

Seeing that she was injured, he felt even worse than he would if he was injured instead.

At this moment, he forgot the fear he felt toward the Gulan Demon Monarch.

Although he could not stand up to Zhuang Huisheng, he still had to do it.

Regardless of who it is, he would fight with his life against those who hurt Little Jiang Xue.

He walked toward Zhuang Huisheng with his sword in hand. The blade was being dragged on the floor such that it caused an ear-piercing sound.

Zhuang Huisheng frowned. He did not expect the child to offend him just for a little girl.

Could this be the daughter of Sword God Zhou?

He thought through many possibilities, but he was not satisfied.

His love for talented people and his anger put him in a dilemma.

At this moment, Old Qing walked toward Zhou Xuanji.

“Brat, since you don’t want the opportunity that I gave you, go ahead and die!”

Old Qing’s laughter became sinister and fearsome. His demonic appearance was fully revealed as two sharp tusks grew out from his mouth.

At the training ground, Northern Sword Valiant wanted to speak to Zhou Xuanji, but he had no strength do to so.

He knew how powerful Zhuang Huisheng was and that Zhou Xuanji could not defeat him.

And so what if he defeated Zhuang Huisheng?

If he were to offend the Gulan Demon Monarch, he would surely die for it, unless he could escape into the royal palace of the Great Zhou Empire and hide there.

The handsome youth that was immobilized by Zhuang Huisheng’s side also looked at Zhou Xuanji.

He remembered how powerful the Sword God was previously, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

The people that laid around the training ground were not all dead, and many were alive. Some were pinned under the rubble, while others were lying on the streets.

At that moment, they put all of their hope into the child-faced warrior.

Old Qing and Zhou Xuanji got closer and closer.

But the child ignored Old Qing and locked his sight onto Zhuang Huisheng.

“Sword God Zhou… Defeat him…”

A weak voice came from below the rubble of a collapsed house.

Taaa!

Zhou Xuanji immediately took a step forward with his right foot, and the ground cracked as he took his first step, charging toward Zhuang Huisheng.

Old Qing raised his right-hand oppressively. His hand turned into a beast claw, and it expanded instantly to a giant size that was not proportional to his body.

It was like a huge fan that smashed toward Zhou Xuanji. The palm attack was so forceful that it could shatter a hill into pieces.

Just when Zhou Xuanji was about to be smashed, he went to Old Qing’s back suddenly with the Eight-Step Sword Lunge.

Boooom–

Old Qing’s palm strike missed and landed on the floor. The ground trembled from the smash, and multiple cracks rippled outward like a spiderweb.

Before he could turn around, Zhou Xuanji charged toward Zhuang Huisheng again with another Eight-Step Sword Lunge.

With the Hell King Sword in his hands, he entered into the Tri-Source Vein Severing Sword Will Mode straightaway.

His mind was infused into the sword!
