Chapter 349: Eradicate this scourge 349
In the courtyard of the Wen Academy.
Xi Huang was sitting by the window, engrossed in a thick volume titled “Qin History.”
She had been sleeping in the underground palace of the King Qi’s palace for over a thousand years, oblivious to the events that occurred in that duration.
Recently, with some time on her hands, she started to catch up on history, starting with historical texts.
The “Qin History” in her hands was compiled by the Wen Academy.
Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable palpitation. Alarmed, she raised her head and looked towards the west. Something there was making her heart pound, as if she had encountered her nemesis.
On the table, a little green bird, which had been sleeping, suddenly woke up. It began to flap its wings and squawked, “It’s the Human Emperor’s Sword, run…”
With that, it dashed instantly and fled wildly to the outside of the house.
The Human Emperor’s Sword?
Upon hearing this name, Xi Huang was taken aback.
This sword was extremely famous and she was well aware of it. It had become a symbol of imperial power in her time.
However, she had never seen the Xia Emperor, nor had she seen the Human Emperor’s Sword.
Such terrify was the sword that it posed an instinctive threat to her, even from such a distance.
At this point, the entire academy became noisy, feeling the same peculiar pressure. Many people were discussing and speculating about which abnormal treasure had appeared.
Whoosh-
Suddenly, the little green bird flew back, uttering, “Why should I fear? The Human Emperor’s Sword was already rendered useless by the Taiyi Emperor, it’s not the same sword that it used to be, it can’t threaten me.”
At its last sentence, it seemed somewhat apprehensive.
Its eyes darted toward Xi Huang. “Or maybe, you could steal the Human Emperor’s Sword. With your speed, you could get it and go before anyone else can catch up.”
Confused, Xi Huang asked, “Why?”
“You dummy! Although the Human Emperor’s Sword has been weakened by the Taiyi Emperor and no longer retains its former glory, it’s still a considerable threat if it falls into the hands of Human Race’s emperor. This sword has killed countless members of our Monster Race, it’s our bane. If humans got it, it would be a serious problem if they used it against the headmaster!”
Upon hearing that her father could potentially be threatened by the Human Emperor’s Sword, Xi Huang immediately put down her book and stood up.
Just then, both the man and the bird sensed something and turned their heads at the same time. They saw a blue figure appearing in the sky, dressed in a blue robe, and adorned with a wooden hairpin, exuding an indescribable sense of freedom and elegance.
A Celestial Being!
Xi Huang had seen a powerful Celestial Being before, and she was able to judge this in one glance.
This man must be the headmaster of Wen Academy.
The little green bird deflated instantly. “It’s over, who can outdo this old guy?”
Xi Huang remained silent. With her Cultivation Level at only the second mana level, it was impossible for her to steal the Human Emperor’s Sword from a powerful Celestial Being.
“Hold on…”
The little green bird suddenly remembered something and said in surprise, “Wasn’t it said that he was severely injured? Why does he look so well now? Damn, this old guy must be pulling a fast one, trying to trick someone.”
“Humph, these scholars are all deceitful…”
Xi Huang ignored its ramblings. She saw the Celestial Being remaining idle there, not trying to grab the Human Emperor’s Sword, and she couldn’t figure out what he was up to.
…
“Master, it’s the Human Emperor’s Sword!”
Next to the dean of the Wen Academy, a middle-aged man appeared. It was his disciple, Li Yuan, whose face showed some excitement. “With this sword, Master can surely completely drive away that person from the Human Realm.”
The dean, who had been staring in the direction of the Heavenly Altar, showed a hint of relief in his eyes and said casually, “The Human Emperor’s Sword does not belong to me.”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan was taken aback. Following his gaze, he instantly understood why his master would say that, he hesitated a bit, “Master, are you really okay with giving the Human Emperor’s Sword to him?”
The dean said, “He who was able to get the fruit of the Red Moon Great Saint himself demonstrates his remarkable luck. Only someone this fortunate deserves to be the master of the Human Emperor’s Sword.”
“But the hostility of the State-protecting Sword towards him is so great. What if he is truly the Heavenly Phoenix Emperor from the past?”
“The Human Emperor’s Sword will give us the answer.”
Li Yuan fell silent.
The mentor and disciple stopped talking, closely watching the battle at the Heavenly Altar.
…
…
“Just for killing an emperor, is it necessary to fight this hard?”
Looking at his opponent’s explosive increases in strength, Gu Yang couldn’t understand it.
The price to pay for strength to skyrocket to such a degree in a short time was unimaginable.
After this battle, that State-protecting Sword would definitely be scrapped.
At one glance, he recognized that the man and the sword must be the Lord of the State and his State-protecting Sword.
Who would have expected that the State-protecting Divine Sword, even though it was not ranked high among the Top Ten Divine Weapons, could still hide such tremendous power, elevating its owner’s strength to such a level?
At this time, the strength of the Lord of the State had already surpassed him, even exceeding the third level of the Unleaking Realm.
Really, just to kill him, was it worth it?
The Lord of the State was hovering in the air. At this moment, he sensed the destiny of Great Zhou represented by millions of citizens and the vast landscape.
