There’s Something Wrong With This Account - Chapter 371
Chapter 371: 371,【Is it Lu Xun’s sword?】 (Request for monthly tickets!)
Inside the Ancient Alien Altar of Uncold Forest.
The altar was reactivated. A series of barriers enveloped the altar, preventing those outside from entering and those inside from leaving.
Even with two Godspeed Talismans left, Lu Xun had no place to use them.
Their only use now was to wait for the Soul Devouring Flame to destroy the Sword Sheath, then he could apply a Godspeed Talisman and struggle for a bit longer within the altar area, just like a trapped turtle.
“It seems that Li Zuole and the others are still unable to find the exit to the altar,” Lu Xun internalized.
He looked at the increasingly worse state of the Sword Sheath, feeling extremely anxious.
“The durability is still declining.” Lu Xun looked at the Purple Level Equipment Repair Coupon in his backpack, caught in a dilemma.
At this moment, Jiang Nan’an rummaged through his Storage Ring and took something out. The surrounding temperature dropped dramatically as if winter had arrived.
It was a blue crystal the size of a fingernail, emanating a chilling aura.
“Elder Lu, this is the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice I accidentally obtained in a relic. I don’t know if it’s of any use, want to try?”
Lu Xun glanced at this precious Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice and nodded. After expressing his thanks, he reached out and took it.
He was fully aware that the Soul Devouring Flame wasn’t ordinary fire. Hoping to destroy it with ice was almost impossible.
What worried him more was whether the Sword Sheath would crack under the alternating heat and cold.
This made him hesitate, fearing that the situation would become more difficult to handle.
Unexpectedly, the black rope on the Sword Sheath suddenly rose up and directly bound the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice in his palm, then fiercely inserted it inside the Sword Sheath.
It was stuffing itself.
I’ll freeze you to death!
Having followed Yan Li around for so many years, the Sword Sheath had seen and learned a lot. It was aware of its current situation. Since it acted this way, it must have figured this Profound Ice could work to some degree.
The internal situation of the Sword Sheath was invisible to Lu Xun and the others.
The Sword Sheath was currently suspended in mid-air. Unless Lu Xun flew higher and peered inside through its hole….
At this moment, Lu Xun was mainly monitoring the state of the Sword Sheath through the durability displayed in his equipment bar.
The rapidly declining durability was now stable. It was clear that the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice could suppress the Soul Devouring Flame to some extent, even if it couldn’t eliminate it!
As for how long it could be suppressed, that would have to be left to fate.
“As expected, having Jiang Nan’an around is indeed useful,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
With the Sword Sheath temporarily stable, he turned his attention to the Three-eyed Statue at the heart of the altar.
“Since the altar has been reactivated, this You Ying shouldn’t be reviving soon, should it?” His eyebrows furrowed in worry and he muttered a discouraging prediction.
This was the situation he least wanted to see.
He really wanted to kick Jiang Nan’an next to the Three-eyed Statue, and use his heaven-defying Luck to suppress it!
Time passed bit by bit; the stable durability started to decline again.
“Crack– crack–!”
One crack after another started to appear on the Sword Sheath. The durability had already fallen to 50/100!
Jiang Nan’an looked at Lu Xun and suddenly spoke in a deep voice, “Elder Lu!”
Following his gaze, Lu Xun saw that in the altar’s center, under the Three-eyed Statue, the You Ying, merged halfway with the statue, had slightly moved!
…
…
Outside the altar, a clear sound of a sword resonated through the sky.
Mo Yurou looked towards the sky, her well-nourished lips slightly agape and filled with surprise.
She saw a streak of light rushing in her direction at an unimaginable speed. It was a well-known sword of the Cultivation World, a sword that once shook the world!
Mo Yurou was a Great Cultivator at the peak of the seventh stage. She detected the terrifying Sword Qi when it was still far from here.
Initially, she thought it was just passing by, but the southbound sword was actually headed here!
“It came all the way from the Eastern Region and headed south here?” Lots of thoughts rushed through Mo Yurou’s mind.
It was the Demon Sect’s guarding sword, what was the reason it came here?
Could it be…
— Lu Xun!
Other than this, Mo Yurou couldn’t think of any other reason.
No wonder Lu Xun, as a Natural Sword Embryo, always wielded a Sword Sheath and never grasped a Longsword.
Many people had speculated about this, and even those top figures in the Cultivation World would discuss this bewildering matter after meals.
It seemed that he did have a sword, he just didn’t use it often.
His sword was The Sword Qi is Near!
Mo Yurou felt that this explanation was quite reasonable. After all, the specialness of The Sword Qi is Near was no secret among the top circles in the Cultivation World.
This sword couldn’t be wielded by just anyone, so Lu Xun wouldn’t summon it until a critical moment.
Yes, it was quite probable!
Very few people knew about Lu Xun’s real secret. Ping Shanhai and Ye Sui’an both knew that he was refining the Sword using his body, but they both tacitly kept this a secret.
While she was immersed in her thoughts, The Sword Qi is Near directly began to pierce the twisted-neck tree.
In an instant, the tree split open.
It didn’t plan on teleporting in, neither was it a cultivator below the fourth realm, so it couldn’t avoid the prohibition.
However, it couldn’t be stopped by this prohibition either.
The horrifying prohibition that evoked fear in others was useless in front of [The Sword Qi is Near].
All it needed to do was to move forward, continually moving forward.
It didn’t need to consider any other obstructions.
Layer by layer, the prohibitions were destroyed by [The Sword Qi is Near], and it quickly arrived next to the altar in the deepest part of the secret realm.
The altar’s surroundings were enveloped in a dark red barrier. Seeing through this semi-transparent barrier, it saw everything inside.
It saw Lu Xun and also the sword sheath floating in the air.
The sword sheath had dozens of cracks on it. Its state was terrible. It seemed that it could explode at any moment and shatter into pieces.
[The Sword Qi is Near] let out a sword cry, not stopping for anything, it directly attacked the dark red barrier.
This sword cry of it contained boundless anger.
When its sword tip touched the barrier, a blood-red light emanated like lightning in all directions, but it couldn’t stop it even for a second.
The surging Sword Qi tore the entire barrier apart, completely unreasonable.
The next moment…
— The Sword Qi is Near, the Sword is Near.
In an instant, it arrived next to the sword sheath.
“Crack——”
The cracks on the sword sheath couldn’t hold out anymore, it broke apart from the one-third mark, turning into numerous fragments, exposing the Soul Devouring Flame floating in the air.
The Sword Qi swept in an instant, but no one could see its movements.
“Whoosh——” It had already drawn its sword.
In an instant, the indissoluble Soul Devouring Flame changed from a wisp of flame to numerous sparks.
They scattered on the altar, some of the sparks went out instantly, while some flickered.
One of the foreign race’s treasures, one of the second priest’s trump cards, had now fallen to graze on the ground under one sword.
In the face of absolute power, any fancy attributes mean nothing.
Its sparks tried to reconvene, but they quickly dimmed.
Already heavily damaged.
Lu Xun looked at [The Sword Qi is Near] unbelievingly, he didn’t expect that it, located at the summit of Hidden Mountain, would actually come here!
The sword sheath hovering in the air was teetering. It used its remaining strength to raise the black rope, seemingly wanting to gently touch [The Sword Qi is Near], but it didn’t have much strength left.
The next moment, it fell from the air.
[The Sword Qi is Near] trembled violently, the violent black air current swirling around it as if capable of destroying the world.
Lu Xun didn’t know if it was an illusion, but as he listened to its sword cry, he felt that this sound was sobbing, like a plaintive cry.
A sword was crying sorrowfully.
“I can save it!” Lu Xun caught the sword sheath with one hand, stating gravely.
Upon hearing this, [The Sword Qi is Near] froze in the air for a moment.
The sword sheath’s [Durability] was nearly depleted. Lu Xun quickly opened the [Backpack] and used the [Purple Level Equipment Repair Coupon] at top speed.
A golden light converged in his hands, nobody could understand what it was.
When his hands touched the sword sheath, the fragments on the ground suddenly began to reassemble and then merged with the damaged sword sheath into one!
“The [Durability] is increasing! It shows repairs in progress!” Lu Xun was elated.
The surrounding spiritual energy rushed towards the sword sheath madly as if the furnace of heaven and earth was refining it again.
One after another, the spiritual energy vortexes formed around the sword sheath. They swept up everything around them, and even Lu Xun and Jiang Nan’an who were close by were blown away.
Lu Xun moved back several steps, supported by [Pink Ink].
Caught off guard, Jiang Nan’an had no time to react and was tripped over by a rock on the ground.
Just before hitting the ground heavily, Jiang Nan’an quickly cast a shield on himself.
By the time he landed, the shield on him had even hit a crack in the altar.
Stones were flying, this son of [Luck 10]’s destiny made the flickering sparks of the Soul Devouring Flame rise from the ground.
Then, these flickering sparks were enveloped by the spiritual energy vortex, turning into a black current and rushing toward the recovering sword sheath.
Lu Xun: “!!!”
This unintentional move by Jiang Nan’an left Lu Xun’s scalp numbed.
He quickly opened the equipment bar to check the sword sheath’s [Durability].
Fortunately, the [Durability] was steadily increasing, and didn’t show any anomalies due to the integration of the remaining sparks of the Soul Devouring Flame.
This relieved Lu Xun.
At this moment, You Ming inside the statue slowly opened his eyes.
He saw Lu Xun and also the unparalleled sword floating next to him—[The Sword Qi is Near].
