Chapter 371 Is It Lu Xun's Sword?
In the Wuhan Forest, inside the altar of the ancient alien race.
The altar was reactivated and a series of barriers covered the altar, preventing people outside from coming in and people inside from leaving.
Even if Lu Xun still had two magic talismans, they were no longer useful.
Their only function now is to wait until the Soul-Devouring Fire destroys the scabbard, and then they can stick on the magic talisman and struggle for a while in the altar area like a turtle in a jar.
“Li Zuole and others still seem to have not found the exit of the altar.” Lu Xun said in his heart.
He looked at the scabbard which was in increasingly worse condition, feeling extremely anxious.
"【Durability】 is still decreasing." Lu Xun looked at the 【Purple Level Equipment Repair Coupon】 in his backpack and was in a dilemma.
At this moment, Jiang Nan'an rummaged through his storage ring and took something out of it, causing the temperature around him to drop a lot in an instant, as if winter was coming.
It was a blue crystal only the size of a fingernail, emitting bursts of chill.
"Senior Lu, this is the ten thousand year old black ice I accidentally found in a ruin. I don't know if it is useful. Do you want to give it a try?"
Lu Xun took a look at this precious piece of ten thousand year old black ice, nodded, thanked it , and reached out to take it.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the Soul-Devouring Fire was not a normal flame, and it was almost impossible to expect to destroy it with the black ice.
What he was more worried about now was that the scabbard would crack directly under the dual attack of ice and fire...
This made him very hesitant, and he was worried that the situation would become more difficult to handle.
Unexpectedly, the black rope on the scabbard suddenly lifted up, directly entangled the thousand-year-old black ice in his palm, and then violently stuffed it into the scabbard.
I stuff myself.
Look, I'm going to freeze you to death!
The scabbard has been traveling with Yan Li for so many years, and it is well-informed. It also has some understanding of its current situation. Since it has done this, it is estimated that the black ice should have some effect.
Lu Xun and others could not see what was going on inside the scabbard.
Because the scabbard was currently suspended in mid-air, unless Lu Xun flew higher and peered through the hole in the scabbard...
At this moment, Lu Xun mainly analyzed the condition of the scabbard through the scabbard's [Durability] displayed in the equipment column.
The rapidly declining [Durability] stagnated at this moment. It was obvious that although the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice could not eliminate the Soul-Devouring Fire, it also suppressed it to a certain extent!
As for how long it can be suppressed, that is up to fate.
“Sure enough! It is still useful to keep the south bank of the river with me.” Lu Xun said in his heart.
The problem with the scabbard was temporarily alleviated, and he turned his head to look at the three-eyed statue in the center of the altar.
"Since the altar has been reactivated, this shadow won't wake up soon, right?" He frowned and gave himself a sip of poisonous milk.
This was the situation he least wanted to see.
He really wanted to kick the south bank of the river to the three-eyed statue and use his incredible [Luck 10] to suppress it!
As time passed, the stable [Durability] began to decline again.
“Crack! Crack!”
Cracks appeared one after another on the scabbard, and its [Durability] had dropped to 50/100!
Jiang Nan'an looked at Lu Xun and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Senior Lu!"
Lu Xun followed his gaze and looked forward, only to see a shadow half-integrated into the three-eyed statue in the center of the altar...it actually moved slightly!
…
…
Outside the altar, a loud sword sound resounded through the sky.
Mo Yurou looked up at the sky, her rosy lips slightly opened, filled with surprise.
She saw a stream of light rushing towards her at an unimaginable speed. It was a sword that was well-known in the world of cultivation, a sword that had dominated the world many years ago!
Mo Yurou was a great cultivator at the peak of the seventh realm. She had sensed the approaching sword energy that was wantonly emitting terrifying pressure when it was still a long distance away from here.
I thought it was just passing by, but I didn't expect that after heading all the way south, its destination would be here!
"It came from the Eastern Region and headed all the way south, just to come here?" A lot of thoughts flashed through Mo Yurou's mind.
It is the Demon Sect's guardian sword. Why did it come here?
Could it be...
——Lu Xun!
Other than that, Mo Yurou couldn't think of any other reason.
No wonder Lu Xun, a natural swordsman, always holds a scabbard and has never held a long sword.
Many people have made speculations about this. Even the bigwigs in the cultivation world like them would talk about this strange thing after dinner.
It seems that he has a sword, but he doesn't use it often.
His sword is [Sword Qi is Near]!
Mo Yurou felt that this was reasonable. After all how special [Sword Qi Near] was was not a secret in the circle of bigwigs like them.
This sword cannot be controlled casually, so Lu Xun will not summon it until the critical moment.
Well, the possibility is very high!
Only a limited number of people know Lu Xun's real secret. Ping Shanhai and Ye Sui'an both know that he is "refining the sword with his body", but they both tacitly keep silent about it.
Just as her thoughts were in turmoil, she saw the sword energy approaching and directly stabbing at the crooked tree.
In an instant, the tree split open.
It had no intention of teleporting in, and it was not a cultivator below the fourth level, so it could not avoid the restrictions at all.
However, this restriction could not stop it at all.
The restrictions that others find extremely terrifying are useless in the face of [Sword Qi is Near].
It just needs to move forward, and keep moving forward.
There is no need to consider any other obstacles.
Layer after layer of restrictions were destroyed by [Sword Qi Approaching], and it soon arrived at the altar in the deepest part of the secret realm.
The altar was surrounded by a dark red barrier, and through this translucent barrier, it could see everything inside.
It saw Lu Xun and also saw the scabbard floating in the air.
There were more than a dozen cracks on the scabbard, and it was in very bad condition, as if it would explode completely and split into pieces at any time.
[Sword Qi Is Approaching] With a sound of sword ringing, without any pause, it directly attacked the dark red barrier.
The sound of its sword contained endless anger.
When the tip of its sword touched the barrier, blood-red light radiated outward like lightning, but it could not stop it for even a second.
The surging sword energy tore the entire barrier apart, which was completely unreasonable.
The next moment...
——The sword energy is near, the sword is near.
It reached the scabbard in an instant.
“Crack—”
The crack on the scabbard finally couldn't be repaired anymore, and it broke off from one-third of the way down, breaking into pieces, revealing the soul-devouring fire suspended in the air.
The sword energy swept out in an instant, and no one could even see its movements clearly.
"Swish——" it has drawn its sword.
The soul-devouring fire that could melt everything turned from a wisp of flame into sparks in an instant.
They splashed onto the altar, some of the sparks went out instantly, and some flickered.
One of the most precious treasures of the alien race, one of the second priest's trump cards, was knocked to the ground and barely survived by just one sword.
In the face of absolute power, any fancy attributes are meaningless.
Its sparks tried to come together again, but quickly dimmed.
Has been badly hit.
Lu Xun looked at [Sword Qi Approaching] in disbelief. He didn't expect that it, which was located on the top of Cangshan Mountain, would come here!
The scabbard suspended in the air was tottering. It used its remaining strength to lift the black rope, as if it wanted to gently stroke [Sword Qi Near], but it did not have much strength left.
The next moment, it fell from the sky.
[Sword Qi is Near] The sword body shook violently, and violent black airflow circulated around it, as if it could destroy the world.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but when Lu Xun heard the sound of the sword, he felt that the sound was like sobbing or wailing.
A sword was wailing.
"I can save it!" Lu Xun caught the scabbard and said in a deep voice.
[Sword Qi is Approaching] Upon hearing this, it paused in the air for a moment.
The durability of the scabbard had been reduced to almost nothing. Lu Xun opened his backpack as quickly as possible and used the purple equipment repair voucher.
A golden light gathered between his palms, and no one could tell what it was.
And when his hands touched the scabbard, the fragments on the ground suddenly pieced together again and then became one with the broken scabbard!
“【Durability】 is increasing! It’s shown as being repaired!” Lu Xun was overjoyed.
The surrounding spiritual energy gathered towards the scabbard frantically, as if the furnace of heaven and earth was re-refining it.
One after another, vortexes of spiritual energy appeared around the scabbard, sweeping over everything around it, even blasting Lu Xun and the south bank of the river, who were relatively close, to the side.
Lu Xun took several steps back, relying on [Fenmo] for support.
The people on the south bank of the river were caught off guard and had no time to react, so they were tripped by the rocks on the ground.
Before falling heavily to the ground, Jiang Nan'an cast a layer of shield for himself as quickly as possible.
When he landed, the shield on his body actually caused cracks in the altar.
Stone pieces flew everywhere, and the son of luck [Lucky 10] was shaken so hard that the flickering sparks of the Soul-Devouring Fire on the ground rose up from the ground.
Then, these flickering sparks were enveloped by the vortex of spiritual energy and transformed into black air currents, rushing towards the scabbard that was recovering.
Lu Xun: “!!!”
He was so overwhelmed by Jiangnan's unintentional actions that his scalp tingled.
He hurriedly opened the equipment column and checked the durability of the scabbard.
Fortunately, the [Durability] is steadily increasing, and there is no abnormality due to the integration of the residual sparks of the Soul-Devouring Fire.
This made Lu Xun breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the shadow inside the statue slowly opened its eyes.
He saw Lu Xun, and also saw the peerless sword floating in the air beside him - [Sword Qi Approaching].
