111: Chapter 111 Arrival at the Sword Tower

"Damned bastard! The Sword Tower, is it? I'll see what you can actually do to me!" The old man was now thoroughly enraged.

In an instant, he unleashed a powerful wave of sword qi toward Bai Xiaoxiao...

"The Sword Tower is the Worlds Number One Tower! Kid, move now!" Peppa suddenly roared.

Of course, if its bloodline hadn't been restricted, it probably would have been a step faster than Mu Cheng...

"A piece of cake. I don't care about your Unity of Man and Sword; there's nothing violence can't solve. If it doesn't work, just add more."

In a flash, Mu Cheng caught the sword qi with his bare hands... and crushed it with sheer violence.

"This... how is this possible? That was the Unity of Man and Sword!" Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned.

The Unity of Man and Sword was a symbol of strength, yet in Mu Cheng's hands... it was actually crushed by force.

"Who exactly are you?" The old man no longer dared to be careless, reassessing Mu Cheng.

"Who cares who I am? Come! Keep fighting me properly!" Mu Cheng suddenly released his battle qi.

He clenched his right hand into a fist and swung it over...

"Madman, he's a total madman." The old man blocked the attack with sword qi, but he was still sent flying a considerable distance.

At this moment, he had only one thought: escape, as far as possible.

"Just you wait! I will make you pay back today's events a thousand, ten thousand times over in the future!"

The old man stepped into the air and turned to run, but Mu Cheng naturally wouldn't give him the chance, utilizing qianji in an instant.

He landed a punch on the old man, sending him crashing heavily into the ground, forming a massive crater.

In the blink of an eye... Bai Xiaoxiao acted. The Green Sword in her hand pierced directly into the old man's heart.

He was completely immobilized, lying quietly on the ground.

"You girl... you're quite ruthless." Mu Cheng descended from the air, stopping Bai Xiaoxiao as she prepared to leave.

"Don't you plan on explaining?"

"What's there to explain? Even if scum like this died a thousand or ten thousand times, it wouldn't satisfy my hatred." Bai Xiaoxiao became quite serious.

Peppa: "Dead is dead. We helped you so much... it shouldn't be a problem for you to do us a small favor, right?"

"Tell me. If it's something I can do, I'll try my best!" Bai Xiaoxiao agreed readily.

"Take us to that... Sword Tower," Mu Cheng said after thinking seriously for a moment.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao instantly began to stammer. "Going to the Sword Tower... takes at least a three-month journey. Leading the way isn't a big problem, but I should at least know your purpose for going, right?"

She was considered half a member of the Sword Tower, so she naturally wouldn't invite trouble... thus, it was necessary to clarify the situation.

"Do you even need to ask? Going to the Sword Tower is obviously to reach the top," Peppa said with great confidence.

"This guy's strength is likely far beyond the Unity of Man and Sword. Maybe he really can ascend the Sword Tower." Bai Xiaoxiao thought seriously for a moment.

Finally, she agreed. "Fine! I'll take you there."

"It seems this Sword Tower is not simple." Hearing Bai Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts, Mu Cheng became even more curious about the Sword Tower.

"There aren't any teleportation arrays, right? Three months is way too long. Taking this should make it much faster." Mu Cheng didn't have that kind of patience.

He directly took out a set of qianji and a star-glow crystal...

"This is the legendary star-glow crystal... It seems you outsiders are not simple at all," Bai Xiaoxiao said, stunned for a long while.

Hmm?

Mu Cheng asked curiously, "Are there no star-glow crystals in this world? They're quite common where we come from."

"None. If we had these, this world would have been filled with people in the Unity of Man and Sword Realm long ago," Bai Xiaoxiao replied.

Peppa didn't want to hear this nonsense. "Hurry up and teach her how to use qianji... heading to the Sword Tower is the top priority."

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll teach her!" Mu Cheng patiently explained how to use qianji.

About ten minutes later.

"You're really quite slow, taking ten minutes to learn." After complaining, Mu Cheng soared into the sky.

Even though Bai Xiaoxiao was scolded... she acted like a student and didn't talk back to Mu Cheng.

She hurriedly used qianji to follow. "This thing... is truly miraculous. At this speed, a three-month journey will only take three days."

"Of course. I say, girl... you really are slow. Others learn without being taught, yet you need to be shown step-by-step," Peppa couldn't help but chime in.

With Bai Xiaoxiao's short temper... she naturally couldn't take it anymore and began to curse at it.

"You brat, easy for you to say... I'm not an outsider, how was I supposed to know about this ghost of a thing?"

"Also, flying for one day requires one star-glow crystal... that's a total waste of precious resources." She spoke with great heartache.

"This stuff? I should have tens of billions of them!" Mu Cheng started to show off... and threw several pieces to Bai Xiaoxiao.

"Don't forget to replenish the qianji energy."

"This... are you serious? Tens of billions?" Bai Xiaoxiao clearly didn't believe him.

Peppa: "Of course. The metals here are decent. If you have any, you can trade them. You can have as many as you want."

"That's what you said. First, tell me the exchange rate." Bai Xiaoxiao was naturally not stupid and wanted to clarify things first.

Peppa: "For material like your Green Sword, ten pieces for one star-glow crystal! We'll take as much as you have."

"It seems the metal is for repairing the devouring heavy sword." Mu Cheng guessed it instantly, so he didn't say much.

Bai Xiaoxiao agreed very readily. "Fine, no problem. Besides, don't you want to challenge the Sword Tower? Leave that matter to me."

Three days later.

"Is that the Sword Tower ahead? Isn't it a bit ancient? I thought it was supposed to be the Worlds Number One Tower?" Mu Cheng asked at first sight.

The ancient tower before them was quite tall, at least six hundred meters, but it was built entirely of wood... it looked like something from ancient times no matter how one viewed it.

"The Worlds Number One Tower is divided into offense and defense. The one before you is for offense, and it has quite a history," Peppa explained.

Mu Cheng was completely speechless. "Fine! Whatever you say..."

"What Worlds Number One Tower? What are you guys talking about?" Bai Xiaoxiao asked, looking completely confused.

Peppa: "Nothing. Just prepare the metal as quickly as possible! We'll be challenging the Sword Tower soon."

"Alright, I'll go then." Bai Xiaoxiao didn't continue following Mu Cheng but landed directly in a town.

"Let's go down and take a look too! Maybe there's something good," Peppa suddenly spoke.

Mu Cheng didn't say much and soon landed in the town as well. This town was not simple... it was filled with street stalls.

And they were all selling the same thing: a black stone.

"There's residual Sword Intent inside. It seems increasing one's strength in this world is not easy," Mu Cheng said slowly as he looked at the scene.

Peppa: "Indeed. Absorbing and refining residual Sword Intent to increase strength... no wonder a City Lord's strength is only at the Peak of the Eighth Rank."

"Enough, enough. It looks like there's nothing good here at all." Mu Cheng looked for a long time but still couldn't find any complete Sword Intent.
