67: Mysterious power! The man behind the scenes!

“Good heavens, the Host went straight back to being a caveman; he has a sword but doesn’t use it, just gnaws with his teeth!”

“Absurd!”

“He even smashed the snake’s head!”

“The Host isn’t using the sword…”

“Doesn’t that mean both his hands are tied up?”

“Hiss…”

“Whispering: Both his hands being tied up, really?”

“And that last snake was clearly more cunning, attacking directly from behind!”

“Exactly!”

“Sneak attack! Young snake has no martial ethics!”

“…”

“Brothers, let’s not talk about that for now. Look, isn’t that sword absorbing the flesh and blood from inside the snake’s head?”

“How do I feel…”

“That snake’s head is slowly shriveling up?”

“Is it too dark, or am I seeing things?”

“…”

“No!”

“Friend above, you’re not seeing things. That sword is indeed absorbing energy from inside the snake’s head, and the snake’s head is indeed constantly shrinking!”

…“This…”

Wu Tian’s actions were naturally seen clearly by Zhang Meng and the fatty.

“How can this sword even…”

Zhang Meng looked bewildered, not knowing how to describe the scene in front of her.

“It can even absorb flesh and blood?”

Wu Tian blinked.

“Yes…”

Zhang Meng nodded.

“How can this sword be like a living creature, able to absorb the flesh and blood of dead creatures to replenish its energy?”

“This is a bit outrageous!”

“What in the world is this thing…”

“…”

“Outrageous or not, you’ve seen people possessed, so what’s so surprising about this small scene?”

Wu Tian calmly pulled the yue kings heroic sword from the now withered snake head.

Clang!

Under the faint moonlight… there seemed to be a bloody glow on the sword body, constantly flashing!

The two characters ‘Yue Wang’… also seemed to become a bit blurry!

It was as if new characters were slowly reappearing, replacing the words ‘Yue Wang’!

“Tsk tsk…”

“It’s the feeling of power!”

Wu Tian exclaimed, his eyes shining!

Although he didn’t know what changes had occurred after the sword absorbed the giant python’s flesh and blood… Wu Tian could clearly feel that this sword… had become stronger!

Moreover… it seemed to have a closer connection with him, fitting him even more perfectly!

Swish!

With a thought, Wu Tian’s right hand, holding the sword hilt, instantly slashed towards the huge rock to his right!

“Clang!”

A soft sound!

A faint red light flashed where the blade met the rock!

In the blink of an eye!

Swish!

The sword body instantly sliced through the stone!

The rock broke in response, and the cut surface was incredibly smooth!

“Hiss…”

Wu Tian gasped.

Wu Tian, holding the sword hilt, felt it clearly; it wasn’t the dull, sticky feeling of a blade cutting into stone, but a crisp, clean cut like a hot knife through butter, without even the slightest resistance!

The incredibly hard stone was cut into two pieces by this sword!

Looking at the yue kings heroic sword in his hand, which seemed to have suddenly come to life.

A hint of excitement flashed across Wu Tian’s lips.

“Haha!”

“Although I don’t know why…”

“But I always feel that this treasure sword from over two thousand years ago seems to have truly come alive at this moment, as if…”

Wu Tian slowly stroked the golden-red sword body.

“Its current appearance is its original appearance!”

“This sword!”

“It excites me too!”

“Buzz!”

No sooner had Wu Tian finished speaking than the blade of the yue kings heroic sword in his hand also began to tremble slightly, as if echoing Wu Tian’s words!

It… was also very excited!

【The yue king sword in your hand seems to have undergone some special changes. A unique energy within the giant python resonated with the ability used by the owner who forged this sword back then, and the sword spirit has been awakened!】

【Let this sword submit to you, with your power!】

【Strength + 20!】

【Charm + 5!】

The voice of Narrator-kun made Wu Tian pause.

This yue king sword… had awakened?

Damn it… is it that outrageous?

And what was that special energy? Was it the kind of power that filled his body after he unlocked his genetic lock?

Could it be that Wuming, from over two thousand years ago, also unlocked his genetic lock?!

“Hey!”

Wu Tian quickly asked Narrator-kun in his mind.

“Speak clearly, what is that special energy?”

【No comment!】

【Keep going, and you will know!】

…“Forget it…”

Zhang Meng shook her head.

Since Wu Tian holding this strange sword didn’t seem to have any negative effects, but rather greatly increased his strength, she didn’t say any more.

“Since this sword has no effect on you, then you should keep it.”

“The stronger you are, the safer we will be!”

“…”

“Boss Shifu!”

Compared to Zhang Meng’s caution.

The fatty looked at the sword in Wu Tian’s hand, and his small eyes instantly lit up.

“This weapon…”

“Could it be the Immortal Slaying Sword that appeared in the legends of your Dragon Kingdom?!”

“Holy cow!”

“The Dragon Kingdom is truly amazing, the Immortal Slaying Sword really exists!”

The fatty was excited.

If he hadn’t been afraid that the sword in Wu Tian’s hand would drain him dry too, he would have already rushed up to touch it.

“Immortal… Slaying Sword?”

Wu Tian’s mouth twitched.

“Your imagination is really rich.”

“That’s a legend.”

“We must believe in science!”

“How can something that exists in legends possibly exist in reality?”

“It’s 2021 now!”

Wu Tian earnestly advised the fatty.

“…”

“Then… Boss, how do you explain this yue kings heroic sword in your hand, which only exists in legends?”

Wu Tian: …Cough cough!

Sometimes what you see isn’t necessarily real!

Believe in science, starting with you and me!

…Too lazy to bother with the fatty and Wu Tian beside him.

Zhang Meng turned and came to the edge of the deep pool, peering into the water below.

“…”

“Indeed!”

Zhang Meng’s expression became serious.

“After this large python and three small snakes came out from the bottom of the pool, the pool water directly brightened by a section!”

“It really was these ghostly things causing trouble down there!”

“However…”

Wu Tian frowned and came to Zhang Meng’s side.

“Why didn’t that mercenary write about this giant python in his diary back then?”

“If they started from here, there’s no reason they wouldn’t have encountered it…”

“That’s right!”

A glint of light flashed in Zhang Meng’s eyes.

“There’s no reason that mercenary wouldn’t have written about it in his letter, unless…”

Zhang Meng boldly speculated.

“Did that mercenary deliberately not write it?”

“Was he deliberately concealing it?”

“…”

“Or perhaps…”

Wu Tian and Zhang Meng exchanged glances, and a bold and absurd idea simultaneously arose in their minds!

“The diary was forged!”

“The diary is fake!”

The two said in unison.

“…”

“But…”

“What was the purpose of forging the diary?”

“Since the Peach Blossom Garden truly exists, what good would hiding these details do?”

Zhang Meng frowned deeply.

“Perhaps…”

Wu Tian’s mouth twitched.

“The person who forged the diary… was precisely trying to use the giant python to kill us!”

“After all…”

“This giant python’s scales, even bullets can’t penetrate them!”
