There’s Something Wrong With This Account - Chapter 386
Chapter 386: 386, [Non-Swordbearer Turns the Tide]
“Elder Lu!” Ye Sui’an turned his head towards Lu Xun, his heart surged with joy beyond expectation.
“It was Elder Lu who saved me.” Ye Sui’an heaved a sigh of relief, grateful.
Of course, the actual savior was the “The Sword Qi is Near”…
The sword cultivators present quickly noticed the man behind them.
The iconic black robe and sword sheath gradually matched the image in the rumors.
“Is this the legendary Demon Sect’s Lu Xun?” they thought.
The sand sculpture players, however, were much more excited than anyone else. Their enthusiasm was on par with Ye Sui’an’s.
“Purple Palace! Hell, Purple Palace is here!”
“Record a video! Record a video! Now we have stuff for bragging on the forum!”
“The world protagonist has come to Sword Casting City, are we unknowingly participating in an important plot?”
As for the older generation among the sword cultivators, their focus was slightly different.
Some of them had even interacted with Lu Xun’s senior, Yan Li.
Some had shared a drink with Yan Li, some had been severely beaten by Yan Li.
Therefore, when they saw the “The Sword Qi is Near,” it felt oddly familiar.
“This is Yan Li’s junior brother, another natural sword embryo of the Demon Sect?” they thought.
At the same time, they could feel Lu Xun’s overwhelming popularity and prestige.
Back in their generation, Yan Li was the same. The way they saw Yan Li was similar to how the young sword cultivators see Lu Xun today.
What they didn’t expect was that the savior of Sword Casting City today would be a young man.
A young man who had not been practicing for many years.
Lu Xun, sitting on the paper crane, instructed “The Sword Qi is Near”: “Go.”
The “The Sword Qi is Near” let out a sword cry, grumbled a bit, and instantly plunged into the battlefield.
It had been in Hidden Mountain for too long and hadn’t fought for a long time.
The previous battle with the Fire Yan Sect had completely ignited its enthusiasm!
It’s a Sword of the Ages, not a piece of collectible.
——It is a killing sword!
In a blink of an eye, before the foreign race could react, the “The Sword Qi is Near” was already in front of them!
The sword qi was near.
“Whoosh——!”
Scintillating and surging sword qi swung forward, reducing the nearby foreign races into ashes.
The foreign races were shocked, with only one thought in their minds: “What kind of sword is this!”
This sword, even without anyone using it, is already this powerful!
It’s even more terrifying than Wu Shanshui, the strongest warrior in Sword Casting City just moments ago!
Just because of the appearance of one sword, the whole battle was turned around in an instant.
Lu Xun rode the paper crane straight into the battle.
Dark air currents swirled around him, hundreds of sword qi following the currents spreading out in all directions.
Although he was alone, with the special characteristics of the sword sheath, and his surging spiritual power and divine sense, he had the might of an army.
The surrounding foreign races, though bloodthirsty and crazy, were somewhat dazzled by his onslaught.
“This is outrageous!”
Yes, Heavenly Dust indeed only received one reinforcement.
But this reinforcement… seems a bit abnormal!
…
…
Since his “Swordsmanship Aptitude” improved to 7 points, this was the first time Lu Xun found himself surrounded by a large number of sword cultivators.
The little sword in his Sword Heart had also significantly strengthened, much more potent than before.
This had also led to him mastering some ingenious techniques, capable of performing actions beyond others’ imagination.
At this moment, Lu Xun spread his divine sense outward, controlling hundreds of sword qi while keeping an eye on the battlefield.
He wasn’t able to cover the whole battlefield, but he could sense a lot within his immediate vicinity.
At this moment, a foreign race, with a cruel and crazy expression, swung a sharp weapon at a female player’s waist.
Such a tiny waist, if hit by that strike, she would be cut in half, right?
What a wonderful feeling!
The female player’s eyes widened in fear as her silver-white longsword couldn’t block in time.
It wasn’t a problem of cultivation technique or skill. Her impending death was purely due to a mistake in operation.
The worst part was, she wasn’t in good shape while operating.
At crucial times, there were more operational mistakes.
Despite playing a virtual reality game in a game capsule, she felt like she was face-rolling the keyboard.
“I’m gonna die! I’m gonna die!” Her longsword started to swing wildly.
The next moment, a force she couldn’t resist suddenly came. Her longsword was abruptly jerked away.
“Who was that? Was it the Foreign Race?” The female player was completely bewildered.
She was about to be slain, and her frickin’ sword was gone too.
She was doomed, and would lose another resurrection opportunity.
But the next scene made her dumbfounded.
Her Superior Magical Sword, after being thrown out, abruptly crashed into the sharp weapon of the foreign race!
It blocked the sharp weapon!
“Eh!!??” The female player’s mouth was agape, her eyes wide open, completely confused.
A calm voice rang in her ear, “Stay focused, don’t expose too many flaws.”
It was… Purple Palace’s voice!
She had watched too many videos about Lu Xun on the forum, how could she not recognize his voice?
So, did my longsword leave my hand and intervene just now because of the Purple Palace saving me?
“Damn it, I should have recorded it, just so I could serve them a pound of lemons!” The female player screamed in her heart.
Meanwhile, she began to wonder, how did the Purple Palace do it?
Not far off, Lu Xun calmly said, complimenting the little Sword Dao in Sword Heart, “Well done.”
Yes, this opulent strategy was entirely the work of the Heart Sword.
Despite the Sword Child appearing to be a Sword Silly, it still had its own consciousness.
Under Lu Xun’s command, it would act accordingly.
Lu Xun considered if, as a non-swordbearer able to suppress and even repel others’ swords, could this ability also be used at another angle?
For instance… controlling the direction in which a sword is repelled!
Though this procedure was slightly more difficult and not as energetic as directly shaking off, at times it came in handy.
Either one crude, the other complex in posture, but their processes were beyond marvelous.
So, Lu Xun saw that the male sand sculpture player’s operation next to him was too clumsy, and couldn’t help but command the Heart Sword to assist him.
The small sword within the Sword Heart jolted violently. The Magical Sword in the hand of the sand sculpture player then flew out and, in the process of flight, drew a semi-circular arc in the air, the tip of the sword directly passing over a foreign race’s neck, leaving behind a thin line of blood.
The sand sculpture player was instantly dumbfounded.
“Am I so skilled?” He could hardly resist laughing out loud.
But, damn it, why didn’t I gain experience points from slaying the creature?
Did the system miss it?
A calm voice echoed in his ear, “Catch the sword!”
His longsword was shockingly repelled back to him, he quickly raised his hand to catch the longsword.
Is this… the Purple Palace?
“So it turns out I wasn’t the one showing off…” he finally realized.
He thought he had unconsciously done something remarkable due to a happy coincidence.
Alas, the Purple Palace is still superior.
In this way, Lu Xun, releasing Sword Qi, singlehandedly took on groups, killing wildly on all sides. Meanwhile, he utilized his Divine Sense, allowing the Heart Sword to operate freely, assisting the sand-sculpting players and the young Sword Cultivator of Sword Casting City in slaying the foreign race.
With this give-and-take, the situation began to further reverse!
For Lu Xun, West State really was a place where he could let loose.
Because of his uniqueness, he was like a fish in water here.
Fighting all the way, pressing forward, Lu Xun quickly arrived beside Ye Sui’an in the heart of the battlefield.
“Elder Lu!” Ye Sui’an moved closer to Lu Xun and shouted loudly.
Lu Xun could tell, the joy and excitement in his tone.
“Why does it feel like he’s happier to see me than Ping Shanhai?” Lu Xun thought to himself.
This is bad, I just see you as an ordinary friend and toolman, are you seeing me as a lifelong best friend, a bosom friend?
“Are you okay?” Seeing his enthusiasm, Lu Xun asked about his well-being. Otherwise, it would be somewhat awkward.
While facing the enemy, Ye Sui’an shouted, “Thanks for your concern, Elder Lu, I’m fine!”
Happiness flooded him! He started to feel happy! Hearing my concern for him, he became more excited!
Lu Xun was somewhat speechless, on one hand, reaping experience points with his Sword Qi, while on the other, doing everything he could to protect Ye Sui’an.
“So Ye Sui’an didn’t end up severely injured like in his previous life.” Lu Xun thought to himself.
No, that’s wrong. If it weren’t for the earlier assistance from The Sword Qi is Near, he would probably be lying on the ground coughing up blood by now.
He didn’t think that the high-level Foreign Race’s attack just now could instantly kill Ye Sui’an. After all, Ye Sui’an was not an ordinary cultivator, but severe injury was inevitable.
“Sigh, I’m such a powerful help to him. If I were him, I’d also consider myself a lifelong best friend.” A smile appeared on Lu Xun’s face.
Just at this moment, the little sword in Sword Heart suddenly vibrated.
With a strong shake of the Moon Emperor, it pulled Ye Sui’an and flew a distance to the right. This managed to dodge a strike from the foreign race aimed at his arm, otherwise, he would have been injured again.
“Elder Lu?” Ye Sui’an guessed that Lu Xun helped him.
Lu Xun did not deny it, he simply said lightly, “It was nothing.”
“Sure enough, only Elder Lu could accomplish such a divine strategy!” Ye Sui’an thought to himself.
Lu Xun was now pressing in, getting closer to the battlefield at the heart of the “high-end game”.
This was the battlefield of The Sword Qi is Near and many veteran Sword Cultivator elders.
He and Ye Sui’an were like a dividing line, separating the two battlefields.
Most here were Foreign Races between levels thirty and forty. The players couldn’t breach this range, and those who did would end up dead.
Consequently, the Heart Sword was too far from them to assist.
Since they couldn’t support their allies, they decided to weaken their enemies instead.
Don’t forget, the foreign race has swordsmen too!
Let’s try and see if it works!
Lu Xun instructed the little sword in Sword Heart, and the Heart Sword quickly started shaking.
Its power spread all around before forcefully exerting itself.
In an instant, with Lu Xun as the center, a total of 17 sword-like weapons suddenly flew backwards!
Indeed, it worked.
Ye Sui’an turned his head, his eyes full of awe as he looked at Lu Xun.
Lu Xun was seen gazing forward, lightly making a sweeping gesture with his fingers. The 17 swords were thrown far away, and under the control of Sword Sheath, each sword started to burn black Divine Fire!
They were scorching these 17 swords!
This sudden turn of events rendered these foreign races weaponless, greatly reducing their offensive strength.
They didn’t have time to call back their swords and had to face the enemy unarmed.
“Within the boundaries of West State, you are not worthy of wielding a sword.”
After saying this, Lu Xun manipulated the Sword Qi and went in for the attack.
