31: Chapter 33 Even the ceaseless flow of time will bow before Him!

"Monster?"

"Even the military can't deal with them?"

Li Li pursed his lips.

Looking at the flying insects filling the sky, he couldn't help clenching his teeth.

Beside his ears, aside from the harsh noise made by the flying insects chewing on metal,

there were the masses, amidst panic and despair, praying to the ancient sword, hoping it would once again unleash its divine might and burn away the sins.

However, as the eligible wielder of the ancient sword,

Li Li could no longer feel the agile power the ancient sword had possessed just moments before.

The spirituality awakened by various arrangements seemed to have been completely exhausted, causing it to be forced into a deep slumber.

Yet, facing the eagerly expectant gazes of countless people,

Li Li couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Pursing his lips, he gritted his teeth and moved forward.

Though his heart was filled with anxiety and panic, the steps under his feet were exceptionally firm.

Step by step, he approached the flying insects.

Compared to the fleeing crowds around him, he was a true trailblazer going against the tide.

"No matter what..."

"Please help me once more..."

Li Li gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

He didn't know if the ancient sword could hear his inner voice.

Nor did he know if the ancient sword could respond to his request.

He only knew that, as the successor to the previous thirteen predecessors, as the sword-bearer, he had the obligation to step forward.

Not only to protect the weak, but even more to continue the glory of martial arts.

He wanted to tell everyone that martial arts was not a deceitful fraud.

Martial!

It is a killing art!

Valuing martial prowess!

Even more so, it is the spirit of daring to swing a sword against despair!

As he continuously approached, he was only a hair's breadth away from the main force of flying insects, yet the ancient sword in his hand still showed no sign of revival, its temperature only climbing continuously, like a red-hot branding iron.

Since there was no fire dragon to burn away the sins, he would kill the monsters with swordsmanship. Compared to mortal soldiers, possessing the blessing of the ancient sword and high temperature as a sharp weapon, his conditions were already more than advantageous enough.

As for whether his clumsy martial arts could finish off the flying insects filling the sky?

Fear not!

There are those who will come after!

"Clang—"

Gritting his teeth, he slashed the ancient sword toward a wobbling flying insect.

The monster that could withstand the concentrated fire of the military was easily pierced and torn apart in front of the red-hot sword body.

In a daze, Li Li felt as if he saw his predecessors turning around to look back.

The gratified gazes in their eyes.

Made Li Li even firmer in his steps.

Clang—

The sword unsheathed like a dragon!

Continue fighting!

Even the slightly clumsy sword moves could not conceal his spirit bursting with sharp vigor.

Just at the moment the ancient sword was pulled out from the flying insect's body.

Boom!

Firelight soared into the heavens!

The leaping flames transformed into a soaring giant dragon.

The fire dragon soared across the firmament.

Piercing and washing through the vault of heaven.

"Roar—"

A casual tail sweep from the fire dragon could cause countless flying insects to fall, bursting like clusters of fireworks.

The monsters whose defenses were difficult to breach under the military's concentrated fire were more than half annihilated by a gentle bump from the fire dragon, swept into the dust.

In a flash.

The pitch-black sky became azure and clear.

"We... we won..."

His tense heartstrings finally relaxing, Li Li, having overdrawn his body, could no longer withstand the weakness.

He staggered directly and fainted from exhaustion.

Fortunately, Zheng Fei saw that the situation was bad and quickly moved to catch his falling figure.

——

"Holy crap, even the military's concentrated fire couldn't deal with them, but a single fire dragon wiped them all out!? The gold content of 'Eternal Suppression of Chang'an' is truly terrifying..."

"Tch! Where and when is this? Sealing the spacetime rift and blocking the Spacetime Worm outside, that's what you call awesome!!"

"Yeah, who could have guessed that the upper limit of the ancient sword would be so terrifying? Even divine entities as powerful as them couldn't touch it in the slightest; this is a monster that feeds on worlds."

"Tsk~ Is no one curious about how extraordinary artifacts like the ancient sword came to be? Who on earth is that imperial phantom appearing in the sea of fire? Could it be related to the origin of the ancient sword?"

"..."

Various bullet comments surged in the live broadcast room.

As the crisis dissipated, Netizens gradually began to speak freely, venting the shock in their hearts.

First was the burning high-temperature ancient sword, and then the world-devouring monsters.

Just when they were scared to death, lost confidence in the ancient sword, and thought this wave was completely doomed,

the ancient sword bounced out again to display its divine might.

Telling them they were too young, too simple,

The firelight soaring into the sky, the mysterious sealing, the everlasting fire pit...

Were all declaring his strength to the outside world.

Leaving countless people shocked and speechless.

[005 ancient sword covenant triggered massive emotional fluctuations, Emotion Points +52812]

[Emotion Points +87211]

[Emotion Points +76153]

[...]

A pleasant voice rang in his ears, but Su Xiu couldn't help frowning slightly.

Fire dragon?

The entry he wrote for the ancient sword.

Basically all served the effects of suppression and sealing.

Pure aggressiveness was not high.

For the fire dragon to leave the body and destroy enemies within three zhang was already the limit.

The flames slashed out from Li Li's hands before him.

Being able to rush into the clouds and burn the vast flying insects to ashes was already far beyond the capabilities of flames.

"Could it be?"

"An unexpected mutation happened that I don't know about?"

Su Xiu furrowed his brow slightly.

Sensing the anomaly, decisive as he was, he decisively picked up his pen to write, leaving marks on the blank paper.

[Minor Shuttle Talisman]

[Category: Disposable Item]

[Can use an anchor point to cross thousands of miles and instantly reach the target]

[...]

Simple words and descriptions naturally couldn't be compiled into form.

However, adding the burning of Emotion Points made it different.

Brute force works miracles!

As long as there are enough points, any fantasy object can be turned into reality.

[Ding—]

[Compilation successful]

Holding the gadget he had tinkered with, Su Xiu decisively chose to use it, with the anchor point naturally selected as 005 ancient sword covenant.

With a single step forward, heaven and earth alternated!

——

Xijing.

The natural disaster came to an end.

The crisis gradually subsided.

As the sky returned to its azure and clear appearance.

On everyone's faces, the relief of surviving a catastrophe couldn't help but well up.

But very soon, an anomaly also occurred at this moment.

Hum~

An invisible fluctuation blossomed.

The calm sky began to show a faint mist.

A pitch-black spacetime vortex quickly formed.

A slender and incomparably handsome man slowly walked out from within.

And, with his arrival!

Spacetime stagnated!

The wind stopped...

The rain stopped...

Even the faint chirps of insects all froze at this moment...

The entire world! Seemed to fall into a freeze-frame.

Like an old movie recording, forcibly pressed with a pause button by a force from a higher dimension.

Strikingly, it was Su Xiu who had crossed space to arrive.

To prevent any complications.

The moment he made his debut, he unleashed the ability of [Extreme Cold Freezing] to its limit.

The special ability extracted from the relevant documents of [004 Crystal Disaster].

At this moment, erupted with unimaginable might.

From the molecular level, kinetic energy was eliminated and brought to a standstill, forming an alternative time-stop effect.

Walking on the asphalt-paved road.

In the time-stopped world, no one could stop his advance.

He slowly walked up in front of Li Li.

Taking the ancient sword from his hand, the moment the sequence was in hand, a massive stream of information burst forth in his mind.

Su Xiu finally knew...

Why the ancient sword could unleash such terrifying power.
