Chapter 468 Sword Demon
"Your hospitality is still terrible."
The silver-white figure did not respond. A long sword with an eerie blue light was already drawn from its hand, as if it wanted to persuade Chun to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise there would only be one consequence.
"As you can see, he is now my host, and the contract no longer applies to me. Alright, host, it's your turn to make the decisions for me!"
Wanliuchun revealed a very beautiful smile, gracefully tapped Xu Si's shoulder, and then went straight into the dark building and disappeared without a trace.
Xu Si's lips twitched involuntarily.
"you--"
Before he could say anything, the pure black bracelet on his wrist emitted a light, low hum, as if expressing some kind of schadenfreude on behalf of Wan Liuchun.
Xu Si took a deep breath and looked up at the silver-white figure atop the sword mountain.
The sword demon hovered atop the tallest stone sword, its faceless form facing him, the vertical crack in its center opening and closing slightly like an eye scrutinizing its prey.
A silvery-white light emanated from its body, turning dozens of stone swords around it into a cold, metallic silvery-white.
Xu Si's star-like pupils narrowed slightly, and his star veins silently unfolded.
[Level 8 Mystery Detected: Sword Mystery]
【characteristic:***,***,***,***,***】
Like Wanliuchun, most of the information cannot be displayed, and the design looks terrifyingly powerful.
Xu Si frowned slightly. Judging from the information Wan Liuchun had revealed earlier, this sword monster's characteristics were most likely inclined towards extreme attacks and domain suppression, which was completely different from Wan Liuchun's type, which was inclined towards control and soul attacks.
"Humans! What are your intentions?"
The sword demon's voice emanated from the narrow crack, without the opening and closing of lips or the vibration of the Adam's apple, only a pure, metallic resonance.
Each word is like a sword, piercing straight to the soul.
Would you believe me if I said I was just passing by?
Sword Ghost did not respond.
The vertical crack on the face opened and closed slightly, and silvery-white light shone through the crack, like a sword being drawn from its sheath.
The air began to feel heavy.
Xu Si sensed it; it wasn't the suppression of aura, but rather the cutting of space by the sword intent itself.
Even before the sword demon made its move, its very existence was already rewriting the physical rules of this area.
"To hold onto spring." Xu Si's consciousness sank into the dark building.
"If you don't come out soon, I might really die here."
"Didn't you want to come?" Wanliuchun's voice came from the depths of the dark building, as languid as a pear-shaped cat that had just woken up.
"Don't worry, the Sword Demon Clan is very law-abiding and won't bully the weak. If you can defeat them, there will be unexpected benefits!"
"rule?"
Xu Si was speechless. When did Weiwei start talking about rules?
"Didn't you want to practice? If not now, when?" Wan Liuchun said angrily, frustrated by his lack of ambition.
"Are you sure I'm just practicing, and not just going to my death?"
Xu Si was well aware of the differences between the higher-level sequences. If it were a level seven anomaly in front of him, he might still have a chance to practice, but this guy might kill him with a single sword strike.
"Don't worry, didn't I tell you? The Sword Demon is born from the sword, the most righteous and upright. Those who fight you will only be of the same level. Those who are confident they can't defeat those of the same level will eventually become useless swords!"
"Oh, that dish is worth a try!" Xu Si perked up; this trip hadn't been in vain after all.
He's starting to believe the suffix the system added to his sequence—"Fate Side"—it wasn't just a rumor after all.
Xu Si floated down from the great sword, and the sword of kingship finally couldn't hold back any longer and was drawn from his lap.
The dark golden sword light drew a sharp arc under the blood-red sun, hovering beside Xu Si, its tip trembling slightly, as if sending some ancient greeting to the sword mountain.
At the summit of Sword Mountain, the silver-white figure reacted.
Its face, devoid of features, tilted slightly, standing upright between the opening and closing cracks in the center. Silvery-white light surged out like a tide, sweeping over the Sword of Kingship, over Xu Si, and finally landing on the pure black bracelet.
"interesting."
Jian Gui's voice still resonated with a metallic quality, but in those two syllables, there was an added emotion that Xu Si had failed to capture.
"Level 8 monsters serve as servants, and Level 7 humans are their masters."
"You have fallen."
The Black Tower Bracelet emitted a low, dissatisfied hum, and a voice urging Chun to stay drifted out from the depths, tinged with a hint of embarrassment and anger.
Strictly speaking, the Obsessive Spirit is somewhat like the spirit of the Black Tower; Xu Si's binding to the Black Tower is equivalent to binding to the Obsessive Spirit.
So Jian Gui wasn't wrong, which is why Jian Gui didn't directly kill Chi Xin Gui.
"It's none of your business! I'm willing!"
The sword demon did not respond to her provocation. The crack on its face closed for a moment, and when it reopened, the silvery-white light had mostly subsided.
"Human, do you wish to challenge the Sword Demon Clan?"
"I wish to improve my swordsmanship! Please teach me!"
He certainly couldn't say he coveted the strange drops from the Sword Demon Clan.
"Refine your swordsmanship?" Jian Gui's voice still had a metallic resonance, but there was an indescribable meaning in his tone.
"Human, do you know how many years it has been since anyone sought out the Sword Demon Clan to hone their swordsmanship?"
"I don't know," Xu Si replied honestly.
"Interesting! Interesting! But you are not qualified to challenge the Sword Demon Clan; you are not a true swordsman!"
It paused, and the silvery-white light shining through the crack suddenly became sharp.
Although Xu Si also uses a sword, it is more of a tool to him.
Xu Si didn't know what the sword meant to the Sword Demon Clan, but the Sword Demons did.
Xu Si did not refute.
He glanced down at the sword of kingship hanging beside him.
The crimson blade gleamed with a cold light under the blood-red sun, the golden patterns on the spine pulsating like veins, and the tip trembled slightly, as if responding to the sword demon's question.
"It doesn't seem to think so," Xu Si said.
He raised his hand, his fingertips brushing across the blade of the Sword of Kingship, dark golden light seeping from between his fingers like molten lava.
"You might be right to say I'm not a true swordsman. But this sword chose me; it thinks I'm worthy."
The sword spirit fell silent.
The vertical crack on the face opened and closed slightly, and the silvery-white light flickered between the cracks, like a beacon brewing a storm.
"...Arrogant."
Jian Gui finally spoke, his voice still resonating with a metallic quality, but the emotion in his tone had changed from disdain to solemnity.
He wasn't respecting Xu Si, but rather the Sword of Royal Power.
"Human, you have a fine sword!"
The Sword of Kings is currently ranked 127th, so it can certainly be considered a good sword.
However, the good sword that Xu Si thought it was and the good sword that Jian Gui talked about were not the same thing.
"Will it agree or not?" Xu Si asked in the dark building.
If Jian Gui doesn't agree, he'll have to find a way to make a quick getaway.
"Didn't you hear him say that he's quite interested in you?" Wan Liuchun's voice came from deep within the dark building, still languid.
"What do you mean?"
"It means—" Wan Liuchun paused, her tone now carrying a hint of anticipation.
"Look up yourself."
