Borrowing a sword

Chapter 338 This is how we sword cultivators should be.

Previously, Chu Huaixu had always felt that the greatest function of the [Heart Sword] leaving the body was to allow him, a swordless person, to temporarily possess a natal sword.

However, it still has other clever uses.

Didn't you want to possess my body?
Then I'll take your sword by force right now!

This made the scene before him incredibly awkward for the Ancestral Emperor.

In full view of everyone, in the eyes of tens of thousands of people, he just said that you are not worthy to use this sword, and he even made a sword incantation to summon the sword. And what was the result?

The sword completely ignores you!

This situation caused all the Moon Kingdom cultivators on the high platform to frown.

The Moon Emperor was utterly dumbfounded.

This is the sword that protects the nation! It's one of the national treasures of the Moon Kingdom!
The ancestor's own sword is now unusable?

If it falls into Chu Huaixu's hands, then it's practically his!
Why is this young man so strange?

A thousand years ago, there was indeed a Taoist priest of unparalleled talent who also liked to borrow swords from others.

But what level of cultivation did the Dao Ancestor, who lived a thousand years ago, possess?
What is Chu Huaixu's cultivation level at this moment?
What makes him capable of suppressing the National Sword?

Even the ancestral emperor couldn't recall him!
This made the Emperor's anger even greater.

As someone who once stood at the pinnacle of Xuanhuang, when have I ever disgraced myself like this?

He gritted his teeth, wishing he could cut off Chu Huaixu's dog head right now.

However, from the crowd below the arena, one of the cultivators suddenly shouted, "This looks like the National Guardian Sword!"

The fact that this sword became the core of the imperial capital's grand formation is a secret.

Only a very small number of people in the entire Moon Kingdom know about it.

Over the centuries, very few people have seen this sword.

But it's recorded in the book!

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

"It's exactly as described in the book!"

"Could this really be the sword that protects the nation?"

"What's going on! Chu Huaixu has summoned the Ancestral Emperor's sword?"

Many cultivators from the Moon Kingdom felt their scalps tingle.

If Qin Xuanxiao had done this, then it would seem more reasonable to everyone.

Many people call him the reincarnation of the ancestral emperor. He already possessed the [Emperor Moon], and now that he has brought the [National Guardian], he truly resembles the ancestral emperor from back then.

But why is it Chu Huai Xu?
Why is it the Chu Huai Preface that's being discussed?!
They now understood why the Crown Prince had been so angry.

Why does His Highness feel that he is unworthy to use this sword?
From a certain perspective, this is simply a desecration of His Highness's own ancestors!

This is a great disrespect to the ancestral emperor!
Even the tens of thousands of Yue Kingdom citizens felt that they had been slapped in the face.

The more people disliked Chu Huaixu, the more they would find the long sword in his hand so glaring.

"Zhenguo Sword, you're foolish!"

"How can it not tell who it should help!"

"What kind of evil methods did Chu Huaixu use?!"

Everyone has their own stance.

From the perspective of the Yue Kingdom people, the one who died was just a Taoist priest, and it's also possible that he really was a spy from the Yue Kingdom.

Chu Huaixu was so enraged that he was going to kill someone for the sake of a mere outer sect steward. The target of his killing was the heir of the Prince Rui, the number one genius of the Moon Kingdom!

From their perspective, Lao Niu's life wasn't worth that much, nor did it have that kind of value.

Everyone wanted Chu Huaixu to lose.

But the most precious treasure of the Yue Kingdom ended up in his hands.

Even His Majesty was there!
Many cultivators from the Moon Kingdom couldn't help but raise their heads and secretly observe His Majesty the Emperor's expression.

The Moon Emperor's expression was indeed extremely unpleasant.

At this moment, the most excited people must be the Taoist disciples.

Han Shuangjiang had been worried all along, but now her eyes finally lit up.

The national destiny accumulated behind the ancestral emperor has finally found something to contend with!

Xu Ziqing's admiration for her senior brother was beyond measure.

Mo Qingmei's mouth was slightly open; the development of the situation had shocked her countless times.

The disciples of the Sword Sect were actually even more shocked!
Everyone here practices swordsmanship, so how could they not know the value of Chu Huaixu's profound techniques?

The sword that protects the nation! This is the sword that protects the nation of the Moon Kingdom!

Now they have been conquered by the sword cultivators of my Mirror Kingdom!

"Hahaha! That's exhilarating! That's exhilarating!"

Geng Tianhe, on the other hand, seemed to be possessed.

The sword sect prodigy's eyes shone brightly, and he kept repeating one sentence:

"This is how we sword cultivators should be! This is how we sword cultivators should be!"

On the arena, behind Chu Huaixu, an identical purple moon phantom began to condense!

Moreover, its solidity was no less than that of the phantom behind the Ancestral Emperor!

You are indeed the founding emperor, but unfortunately, you currently exist only as four strands of divine thought, and this physical body is only at the third realm of cultivation.

The amount of national fortune you can mobilize is also limited.

It's even less concentrated than the amount found on the National Protection Sword!
Chu Huaixu shouted loudly and began to act.

[Heart Sword] has now usurped the throne, becoming the sword spirit controlling the national treasure sword. In an instant, all the accumulated fortune on the sword surged forth.

This made the purple moon behind Chu Huaixu even more dazzling than the one behind the Ancestral Emperor!
"So this is what it feels like to have the power of destiny enter your body?"

"Awesome!!!" he exclaimed in his heart.

Chu Huaixu leaped up and slashed upwards.

He now has almost unlimited mana, so he no longer has to worry about running out of spiritual energy.

The "Six Out of Ranks" skill is extremely mana-intensive, but this skill has now perfectly solved that problem.

An extremely domineering sword aura gathered on the sword, and Chu Huaixu leaped high into the air, even higher than the Ancestral Emperor who was flying through the sky.

He slashed downwards with his sword.

Furthermore, the sword was no longer held with one hand, but with both hands.

The terrifying power of the physical body was all concentrated in this one sword strike.

The golden flames in his eyes left two golden trails in the air as he moved.

"Get down here!!" Chu Huaixu roared, slashing his sword at the Emperor Moon Spear.

After the Qi entered his body, the power he unleashed far surpassed that before.

Moreover, this national treasure sword is no ordinary item.

Although he couldn't mobilize the power of the Imperial Capital's Grand Array inside, even if he simply used it as a top-grade spiritual sword, it would still be a top-tier weapon in the world!

The power of this sword actually cleaved the Ancestral Emperor, who was soaring through the air, down from a great height!

boom--!
He slammed heavily onto the arena, and the force of his landing caused the entire arena to shake and produce a tremendous roar.

Blood spilled from Qin Xuanxiao's mouth, and he felt excruciating pain throughout his body.

Although the ancestral emperor was able to "stand in" and play on his behalf, the inherent gap between Qin Xuanxiao's account and Chu Huaixu's account was simply too large.

The gun cores inside the body are all fake realms.

On the other hand, Chu Huaixu has two genuine sword hearts!
Even if a Heavenly-level technique is incredibly powerful, once both sides possess the power of destiny, many gaps become insurmountable.

More importantly, after the Ancestral Emperor takes over this body, he will be injured and feel pain.

Chu Huaixu ignored the pain and even "harmed himself" every time he drew his sword, and the wounds on his arm healed on their own in no time.

The young man in the black and gold robe began to press closer.

One sword, two swords, three swords.
He swung his sword wildly forward, completely ignoring the extent of his injury to his right arm!
He won't stop as long as this hand isn't completely ruined.

Moreover, Chu Huaixu's fighting style began to become increasingly expansive and unrestrained.

With everyone having the power of luck to sustain themselves, he began to dare to trade injuries for injuries!

For him, it's always more cost-effective to change it no matter what.

He could actually say, "It's just a minor fatal wound!"

But for Qin Xuanxiao's physical body, a fatal wound is truly a fatal wound!

On the high platform, the group of cultivators from the Moon Kingdom watched with trepidation.

The Moon Emperor's expression grew increasingly grim; the situation had reversed completely ever since Chu Huaixu took up the State-Protecting Sword.

At this moment, he was gaining a slight advantage and might actually kill Qin Xuanxiao!
Even more critically, as mentioned before, if Xiao Xu were to be impersonated by the Evil Sword, he would lose consciousness.

But Qin Xuanxiao's situation was different; his consciousness was clear, but he had lost all control over his physical body.

So, he is now essentially "watching helplessly" as he gets beaten down!
"Ancestor! Ancestor! What should we do now!" he cried out anxiously.

"Shut up!!" the Ancestral Emperor shouted, not even using divine sense to communicate, but shouting it out directly.

This shout seemed somewhat inexplicable.

Because Chu Huaixu is currently silent, only busy exchanging injuries.

He didn't utter a sound after he was injured.

As a result, the clamor from the audience suddenly quieted down a bit.

For the past few months, the people of the country have thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was taking his anger out on them and telling them to shut up.

The Zhenguo Sword clashed with the Diyue Spear, and Chu Huaixu found an opening and immediately kicked it!
The kick landed squarely on the Emperor's abdomen, causing him to arch his back and be sent flying.

By the time he regained his footing in the air, a dark shadow had already swept past his head.

Chu Huaixu once again slashed down from above, just like before, wielding his sword with both hands.

boom--!
Qin Xuanxiao crashed to the ground again, his elegant purple robe now stained with a large amount of blood.

Some of it was his own, and some was splashed off Chu Huaixu.

"You're courting death! You're courting death!" The Ancestral Emperor grew increasingly furious: "How dare you! How dare you!!"

Since he came to power, when has he ever been in such a sorry state as he has recently?
"Then come and kill me." Chu Huaixu said coldly, "I've said it before, today's duel to the death is a fight to the death!"

bass--!
Chu Huaixu's lower abdomen was pierced directly by the spear, leaving a huge bloody hole.

But as the longsword slashed, a severed arm was cut off mid-air.

That was Qin Xuanxiao's left arm, and even half of his left shoulder!

"Aaaaaah!!" The intense pain and boundless rage caused the Ancestral Emperor to scream out loud.

My vessel! My vessel!
And just like that, he lost an arm!
"What are you yelling about!" Those eyes, burning with golden flames, stared intently at "Qin Xuanxiao's" eyes as if they were staring at the old ghost inside.

Chu Huaixu didn't even glance at the bloody hole in his abdomen; his eyes were filled with intense killing intent!
Everyone in the audience felt their breath catch in their throat.

Such a serious injury must be painful for them to see.

But what about him?
He's still wielding his sword!
"Swoosh—!" The longsword slashed across the Emperor's chest, narrowly avoiding a fatal wound, but leaving a huge bloodstain!
The mighty Ancestral Emperor, a peerless powerhouse from hundreds of years ago, has been forced to this point.

And it was his own sword that wounded him!

I've been writing until past 3 a.m. without realizing it. I overestimated myself. I'm going to sleep now. I'll definitely finish this part of the story tomorrow in one go.
