Chapter 228: Do You Consider Yourself As One?

Standing before this man, Chen Xiaolian felt as though there was a mountain pressing down on him!

Those eyes casually swept over him, causing his back to stiffen and his breath to almost stop.

Ambler looked at Chen Xiaolian and he suddenly said, “Is the Sword in the Stone in your hand? Bring it out.”

“… … what?” Chen Xiaolian was surprised by those words.

“You accompanied her to the museum today. Was it not for the Sword in the Stone?” Ambler shook his head. “I figured it out back in the afternoon.”

“… …” Chen Xiaolian did not say anything.

Ambler shifted his gaze and looked at Xian Yin who was on the ground. His expression became one of concentration and he said in a whisper, “Where is the Sword in the Stone? Bring it out, it’s not too late.”

“… … not too late?” Chen Xiaolian was shocked yet again.

“To save her life.”

Hearing those words, Chen Xiaolian did not hesitate to hastily retrieve the Sword in the Stone from his Storage Watch.

He opened the box and handed the two broken halves of the Sword in the Stone to Ambler. He asked, “This thing… can save her life?”

Ambler did not answer him. He gave the sword a glance; then, with an unfazed expression, he smiled and said, “So, that’s how it is.”

He held the sword hilt in his left hand while his right held onto the sword blade. His black coloured umbrella was casually left lying beside his leg.

Before Chen Xiaolian could comment on anything, Ambler suddenly revealed a sneer and his right hand tightened slightly.

A bang rang out!

The Sword in the Stone’s blade was destroyed by his grip! It turned into a clump of pulverized metal powder and drifted onto the ground.

“Ahh! You!” Chen Xiaolian shouted out in surprise.

“It’s fake,” said Ambler as he shook his head.

Fake?

Chen Xiaolian was stunned.

“It’s fake.” Ambler glanced at him and said, “This girl tricked you. The sword blade is a replica forged based on the real sword blade to have matching shape and weight. In order to prevent thieves from stealing it, a counterfeit was made and hid inside the vault.”

Chen Xiaolian’s face twisted.

He was unable to restrain himself as he turned to look at Xian Yin who was lying on the ground… … this woman!

A counterfeit!

At that moment, Chen Xiaolian did not know if he should rage or smile.

However… … looking at how she was seemingly no longer breathing – could this woman have died?

If Miao Yan’s Exclusive Account were to die, then…

Wait!

Ambler said he could save her life!

“The sword blade is fake… … are you certain?”

Ambler sighed and said, “Of course I am certain. This sword… I have wielded it so many times, I could recognize it with just a glance. Although… the reason I am certain that it is a fake is because… … I know where the real sword blade is at.”

Chen Xiaolian was stunned.

Ambler suddenly turned around and walked toward the fountain in front of the museum.

The earlier explosions caused countless glass fragments and debris to fall there. Some of the older areas of the fountain edge collapsed as a result.

Ambler slowly walked toward the central area of the fountain where the bronze statue was standing at.

It was the statue sculpture of Xian Yin’s great-grandfather who wore ceremonial clothes and held onto a walking stick.

Ambler cast a profound gaze at the statue and suddenly gave a gentle sigh. “It’s been so many years. Now, the two halves of the Sword in the Stone can come together once more.”

He suddenly stretched his finger out and gently tapped the walking stick that the bronze statue was holding.

The walking stick broke with a bang and fell into Ambler’s hand.

Surprisingly, the walking stick was… … hollow!

Ambler turned his hand and shook something out from inside…

Chen Xiaolian’s eyes lit up!

The sword blade!

With just a glance, Chen Xiaolian could instantly determine that, regardless of shape or size, the item was exactly the same as the counterfeit that Xian Yin had produced earlier!

No, it would be more accurate to say that the counterfeit that Ambler destroyed seemed to have more mottled rust on its surface.

The sword blade presently held in Ambler’s hand seemed to be of slightly better quality and appearance. At the very least, the rust marks did not appear to be as deep.

From where he was standing, Chen Xiaolian could also faintly see some of the patterns on the surface of the sword blade.

Ambler stared at the sword blade and hilt for a moment. He released a deep sigh and a complicated expression was evident on his face.

He placed both the sword hilt and sword blade together.

At first, nothing seemed to happen. However, in the blink of an eye, the connected part suddenly emitted a faint silver coloured light.

The light was not particularly intense. However, after the silver light appeared, the mottled layer of rust across the surface of both the sword hilt and sword blade dissolved away!

They dissolved into powder and drifted into the air.

Chilling blue light flashed out from the sword blade, rapidly spreading out through the air!
