Chapter 21 - Live for the Sword, Die for the Sword, Go Crazy for the Sword!
The flames were scorching up the sky!
The entire Shadow Sword Villa has turned into a sea of flame.
With Luo Kun’s character, once he had made a decision, he was fixed on the decision he’d made. No matter the consequences, even if his plan had failed, he will immediately cut his ties off and decisively erase all traces.
The only existing place in the entire Shadow Sword Villa was the Sword Pavilion. This was, of course, not Luo Kun’s decision to keep the pavilion safe, but under the impregnable seal, even the scorching flames cannot pass through the seal.
But that’s not the important point!
The seal was weakened now, no matter how strong the seal was, there was always a method to destroy the seal.
With Luo Kun’s strength, it was impossible for him to break the seal through brute force, but it was only a matter of time to destroy the seal after the Shadow was suppressed
Standing quietly in front of the window, Zhou Boyan witnessed the sea of flame scorching up the sky, and the seal that might be broken at any time, instead of panic, she had instead become more calm and fearless.
Life or death, it doesn’t matter to her anymore!
While looking through the window, the scorching flames were so bright that they could blind one’s eyes, and the night sky reflecting the flame was as bright as day.
This place was her father’s lifeblood and the home of her childhood life.
It’s so hard to build up the place, yet so simple to destroy it.
Whether Wu Chi can succeed or not, she had no regrets left!
…
“Zheng!”
The crisp sound of the sword suddenly tore down the night sky, and the mighty sword intent burst to the sky in an instant, instantly disappearing and turning invisible.
Almost at the same time, the seal on the Sword Pavilion suddenly disappeared, and Luo Kun attacked the seal head-on with his sword.
In the flame of sea, Luo Kun saw a transparent sword floating in the air!
Glancing at the sword, irrepressible greed rose up from Luo Kun’s heart, and he moved towards the sword to grab it.
Getting closer to the seal, Luo Kun didn’t know what had happened, but he believed that Zhou Boyan couldn’t withstand his threats and opened the seal.
Of course, this wasn’t important. What’s important was that the Shadow was within his reach.
“Buzz!”
The moment Luo Kun made contact with the sword, the floating sword suddenly moved, and attacked him.
This sudden attack took Luo Kun by a surprise, and his sword talisman appeared in front of him, turning him into a blue light, blocking the sword, and pulling him back from the edge of death.
The sword talisman of the core disciple of Tianshan Mountain was not only a representation of his identity, but also a life-saving charm. The sword qi sealed within the talisman will erupt at a life-threatening moment to save the user. Unfortunately, the talisman can only be activated once.
After that, the sword flew backwards and Wu Chi’s silhouette emerged from the shadows.
“You’re not dead?!”
At the sight of Wu Chi, Luo Kun’s pupils dilated and he questioned Wu Chi with an unbelieving voice.
Wu Chi slightly raised the corner of his mouths and lazily responded, “I need to thank Young Master Luo for your help! Not only did I not die, but I also have gotten the Shadow.”
Hearing this, Luo Kun noticed that the Shadow was now within Wu Chi’s hands.
This sight almost made Luo Kun vomit out blood!
I spent so much effort just to let the sword fall into the hands of an insignificant person, and I even lost a life-saving sword charm!
But in an instant, evil intents appeared in his heart!
He turned his blade and struck Wu Chi as fast as lightning.
The sword was previously inside the seal, so he was helpless under that circumstance. Now that the sword has fallen into the hands of others, it has become much easier to steal the sword.
As for Wu Chi, he did not care about Luo Kun at all. Ant exists everywhere… What qualifications does Luo Kun have to own the sword?
Wu Chi sneered, this was a result that he had already anticipated in the first place. He didn’t retreat, and counter-attacked with a backhand cut.
Luo Kun wanted to kill him… why wouldn’t he want to kill Luo Kun?
Originally, in terms of cultivation, he and Luo Kun were incomparable, but with the Shadow in his hand, he could fight with Luo Kun head-on.
Executing the Shadow Sword Technique, Wu Chi’s figure became an afterimage, and under the darkness, his figure cannot be seen by ordinary eyes.
“The Shadow Sword Technique!”
Luo Kun gritted his teeth and stared at Wu Chi with deep hatred in his heart. Wu Chi had demonstrated the Shadow Sword Technique to him before, and it looks like it was the authentic version of the sword technique, but from the looks of it now, these two sets of sword technique were not identical at all
Luo Kun immediately gave up his intention to only kill Wu Chi.
As soon as the sword light had swept away, Luo Kun went to Zhou Boyan beside him. “Wu Chi, obediently hand over the sword, otherwise I will kill her!”
In Luo Kun’s opinion, Wu Chi spent numerous efforts to help Zhou Boyan, even at the cost of risking his own life, and sent Zhou Boyan inside the Sword Pavilion.
Such deep affection towards Zhou Boyan, as long as he caught Zhou Boyan, this was tantamount to grasping Wu Chi’s weakness.
However, even after he had rushed to Zhou Boyan’s side, and pointed the sword towards Zhou Boyan’s throat, Wu Chi still had no intention of stopping Luo Kun.
A sneer rose from the corner of his mouth, Wu Chi looked at Luo Kun from afar and sarcastically said, “Idiot… What is the weight of a woman compared to a divine sword? Can’t you tell this apart?”
Suddenly, Luo Kun realized that he seemed to be losing control of the situation.
“You really don’t care about her life and death?”
“What do you think?” Rolling his eyes, Wu Chi had already lost interest in arguing nonsense with Luo Kun. He then turned and fled towards the Sword Pavilion. “Luo Kun, this grievance and resentment, I will remember, and repay back in the future!”
Not hesitating anymore, Luo Kun gave up threatening Zhou Boyan and pursued Wu Chi with all his might.
Compared to the Shadow, Zhou Boyan’s life was much more insignificant.
Zhou Boyan bit her lips and fled in the opposite direction.
Wu Chi’s hanging heart was finally released when he felt Luo Kun’s close pursuit.
In this situation, only by giving Luo Kun the illusion that he didn’t care about Zhou Boyan’s life and running away immediately after getting a sword, can they have a chance to live.
The first time where Luo Kun had stepped into the Sword Pavilion was the only chance to attack him! Blended in with the shadows, Wu Chi has laid out a perfect assassination! Unfortunately, it was stopped by Luo Kun’s sword talisman!
The resources of a disciple from Tian Shan were indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The next confrontation made him clearly understand Luo Kun’s strength. Even if there was a divine sword in his hand, he was still not Luo Kun’s opponent, in a real life and death fight, the losing side would be him.
What’s more, there’s Zhou Boyan to take care of, and escaping was impossible.
Now, after he and Zhou Boyan had parted ways, Luo Kun had to make a choice, to follow him or to kill Zhou Boyan.
Once Luo Kun chose to chase him, Zhou Boyan will be able to escape
This had already been planned out by Wu Chi.
Of course, in order to secure an escape route for Zhou Boyan, he must abandon his chance of escaping and attract all dangers to himself.
Almost after Wu Chi had quickly rushed out of the Sword Pavilion, the pavilion, which had its seal broken, finally collapsed and succumbed under the sea of flame.
The destruction of the pavilion was soon noticed by others, and Deng Mao quickly gathered people to follow Wu Chi.
“Stop him, the Shadow is on him!”
Seeing Deng Mao from afar, Luo Kun cried out sharply.
His shouting was more useful than anything else!
Almost instantly, everyone’s attention shifted towards Wu Chi, and the crowd went crazy.
“I’m here! Who dares stop me?”
There was a crazy look in Wu Chi’s eyes. Instead of trying to hide his actions, Wu Chi shouted and attracted all the attention to himself.
“Little girl, this is the last thing I can do for you… take care of yourself!”
Under the scorching Sword Pavilion, Wu Chi burst out laughing like a madman.
The sword soared up the sky and attacked everyone at sight!
At this moment, numerous people gathered around him, Wu Chi no longer tried to avoid fighting, and slaughtered everyone who got near him.
The color of the blood overshadowed even the flames of the Sword Pavilion!
Shock!
No matter if you got the upper hand or the lower hand, at this moment, everyone was shocked by this scene, and the shock brought to them was everlasting.
Wu Chi was besieged by all sides, but these people didn’t feel like they were outnumbering kirito, instead, they felt like Wu Chi was preying on them instead!
Obviously, Wu Chi was surrounded by all sides, but the feeling wasn’t that they were preying on Wu Chi, but they felt like Wu Chi was preying on them instead!
Even the strong practitioner amongst these men succumbed under Wu Chi’s attack. This wasn’t achieved solely from the power of Wu Chi, it was the power of the Shadow that made him this strong.
His strength wasn’t obvious when he had just met Luo Kun, but now when he was being besieged by the crowd, he understood how difficult it was to improve his strength with just the sword.
After all, studying the principle couldn’t be compared with using the Shadow in a real fight.
Especially in a life and death struggle, Wu Chi can merge the Shadow’s sword intent into his own sword moves.
At this moment, his sword brand has started to take root and sprout!
He became one with the sword!
“Live for the sword, die for the sword, go crazy for the sword!”
Looking at Wu Chi silently, Luo Kun suddenly recounted his master’s description of a real swordmaster!
In the past, Luo Kun did not understand this statement, nor did he think there was such a person
But looking at Wu Chi with his sword drawn, these words appeared on Luo Kun’s mind.
“Kill him at all costs!”
Killing intent appeared in Luo Kun and Deng Mao eyes. They looked at each other and instantly ordered!
It was never a good thing to leave an enemy alive, especially when the one you’ve left alive has the divine sword! If you can’t cut the weed and eliminate its roots, you’re going to live in fear of revenge!
This order of them was not only for the sword, but also for eliminating all hidden troubles in the future.
The so-called reputation and identity were worthless at this moment!
In a blink of an eye, Luo Kun and Deng Mao attacked Wu Chi together!
The fight seemed unending!
