Chapter 87 - A God-Like Sword (1/2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The wind blew strongly against them. Zhou Xuanji’s hands felt a little sore.
He held the sword for three days and three nights, with only a little rest along the way, in which he needed Jiang Xue to support him.
Zhao Congjian flew to Ah Big’s side and asked, “Master, how much longer do you have to hold that sword up?”
Jiang Xue took out some pills and popped them into Zhou Xuanji’s mouth.
”Don’t ask so much. You will understand later,” Zhou Xuanji said calmly
Zhao Congjian became even more curious. He thought of the scene when Zhou Xuanji was facing off Meng Tianlang and came to some realization.
He looked carefully at the Furious Ape Sword and drew some distance on his sword.
”Such good scenery in front. My appointed battle with Meng Tianlang at the border is near. At that time, wait for my good news.” Xiao Jinghong said with a smile.
Beixiao Wangjian followed behind him and asked astonished, “You won’t let us follow you?”
Zhao Congjian, Huang Lianxin, and Jiang Xue looked at Xiao Jinghong together.
Xiao Jinghong shook his head, “You cannot. This battle was already widely known. And it was secretly promoted by Great Zhou to pave a path for Meng Tianlang. If Revered Teacher were to go, he would surely encounter Zhou Yalong and the Empress’ other henchmen. It would be very dangerous. I could hardly deal with 10 of them.”
The group realized the dangers.
”If you win, will you get into trouble?” Zhou Xuanji glanced at Xiao Jinghong and asked.
Xiao Jinghong and Meng Tianlang. Who was more powerful?
As his Revered Teacher, Zhou Xuanji was confident in his disciple without condition.
With my Dual Sword Will, how could he not defeat Meng Tianlang?
Xiao Jinghong laughed, “Under the eyes of everyone in the world, the Great Zhou won’t dare to give me trouble.”
Even in such a cultivation world, most of the people here still loved their faces.
The higher they stood, the more they loved their faces.
The group smiled at each other and continued ahead.
In the next seven days, they did not meet with any trouble.
Zhou Xuanji’s face was ashen. With Jiang Xue’s help, he did not deplete his spirit energy.
But he had already charged up for 10 days, his arms were really sore.
”Damn, have I miscalculated?”
Zhou Xuanji mumbled to himself, and Jiang Xue, who was behind him, tittered.
She reached her hands out to massage his arms. “What’s bad about miscalculating?” She smiled, “Isn’t it better to avoid battles and injuries?”
Zhou Xuanji sighed. Jiang Xue sounded reasonable.
But somehow, he hoped for enemies to appear so he can get their treasures.
No!
I cannot have such a mindset!
I cannot rely on luck to live in the world.
Time passed.
Another 10 days passed.
Zhou Xuanji had already charged up for 20 days. He sensed that the horrifying energy stored up in Furious Ape Sword was enough to destroy the world.
If Meng Tianlang came again, he would surely crush him to pieces.
Xiao Jinghong had fully recovered from his injuries with the help of a divine recovery elixir. He glanced at the Furious Ape Sword in Zhou Xuanji’s hands and gulped.
Back then, when Zhou Xuanji dealt with Meng Tianlang, he waited such a long time.
It was terrifying.
Xiao Jinghong felt pity for whoever was coming to attack Zhou Xuanji.
”Master, we will be outside Great Zhou Empire in half a day.”
Zhao Congjian looked ahead and said. His eyes could not help but occasionally glance at the Furious Ape Sword.
Compared to Xiao Jinghong, he was even more alarmed.
Zhou Xuanji’s face was pale white and covered in sweat. His arms trembled incessantly. If Jiang Xue were not holding onto him, he would have already fallen down.
Looking at him, one might think that he was dying.
”So soon?” Zhou Xuanji squeezed out a smile, “What a pity.”
The group heard and burst out into laughter with hands covering their tummies.
Two hours later.
They passed by Guxia City. It was a small city that was a dozen miles away from Great Zhou’s border.
Looking down at the bustling street, Beixiao Wangjian sighed, “In the past, I really loved to be in cities bustling with people, but now, I loved the feeling of traveling around.”
Zhao Congjian smiled and said, “If not, why would there be so many travelers in the world.”
The group chatted in laughter and did not look like fugitives at all.
Just when they were about to pass by Guxia City.
”Sword God Zhou! Stop! You killed the Third Grade Royal Guard, Qin Qicun. Today, we are going to defend Great Zhou’s reputation!
