Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 56 Drawing the Sword
Merlin and Lani may have thought that Qi Ji would be able to find King Arthur's burial place more easily and retrieve the Broken Steel Sword.
But they never thought that Qi Ji could be so relaxed.
The circular island has a diameter of 500 kilometers, and the mountain in the center is only more than 200 kilometers away from the edge of the island.
Of course, it was impossible for Qi Ji to run long distances at an explosive speed. He just moved forward in a straight line at a "slow speed" of about fifty meters per second, making sure that his physical strength could easily withstand it.
The total time spent on this distance was less than two hours.
…
Qi Ji stood steadily by the lake and looked towards the other side of the lake. With his amazing eyesight, he could clearly see that there was indeed a huge tomb near the mountain on the opposite side of the lake, and right in front of the tomb, a sword was inserted straight in the air.
"That should be King Arthur's tomb, right?" Qi Ji murmured to himself.
Buck under the neck nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's right there. We just need to take the sword away and the mission will be completed."
Then Buck covered his face and said helplessly: "But, before you go and take the sword away, can you take care of these tails?"
As he spoke, in the dense forest behind Qi Ji, several green figures walked out from the bushes accompanied by the sound of metal clashing.
These figures were in human form, wearing tight green armor. There were six of them in total, each holding a weapon of a different shape in their hands. After walking out of the forest, they silently assumed an attacking posture.
"This is the Green Knight... created by the Fairy of the Lake, the guardian of Avalon's outer defense line." Buck seemed to know something about everything and took the initiative to introduce him to Qi Ji.
"It's a bit like the legend I've heard." Qi Ji was not panicked at all when facing the Green Knight who was approaching step by step. Instead, he stroked his chin and chatted with Buck with interest, "Does it mean that these things will kill anyone who enters Avalon without permission?"
Buck nodded seriously: "Defeat the Green Knights, or escape their pursuit. This is what the sage Merlin said, one of the so-called "tests."
"What a rough test." Qi Ji suddenly smiled at the green knights who had rushed in front of him, "But it's simple and clear, I like it!"
As the two green knights closest to him swung their weapons at him, his momentum suddenly exploded!
The huge sword behind him was pulled out by him in the blink of an eye, and holding it with one hand, a large amount of black and red flames burned on the sword.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Ji's figure disappeared instantly under the combined attack of many weapons!
bass!
There was a crisp metallic sound, and the next second, he appeared behind the two green knights standing together.
The heads of the two green knights flew up quietly!
Under the helmet - there was nothing.
This Green Knight is actually just a set of armor!
After seeing that there was no life in the armor, Qi Ji's movements increased again. He rushed towards the remaining four green knights who had not fallen yet. The huge sword weighing more than 300 kilograms in his hand was swung at high speed like a dagger. In just a few seconds, all the green knights were chopped into pieces!
"It feels good." After putting the giant sword back on his back, Qi Ji left a comment.
These "Green Knights" are inhuman magical creations, and almost all of them have the strength of standard third-order transcendents, but they are lacking in intelligence. They are indeed a little inadequate in front of Qi Ji who has activated the breathing method.
Soon, Qi Ji, who had dealt with this wave of green knights, used the same trick again. He ran across the lake at an extremely fast speed and silently came to the large tomb he had just seen.
Although the tomb is large, it is quite plain and simple. There is only a silent long sword inserted in front of the tomb. On the ground just in front of the long sword, there are a few words engraved.
Qi Ji put on his magic glasses and looked at it. It said:
"Here lies Arthur, the king who once was, the king who will be."
After reading these words that sounded like an inscription on an epitaph, and then looking up at the grave, Qi Ji had a different feeling.
He seemed to have traveled through the long river of history and had a momentary eye contact with the legendary king.
He could not help but say to the sleeping king: "King Arthur, I am here to 'borrow' your sword at the request of your teacher Merlin. Please do not be offended."
Then he stepped forward and was about to draw his sword.
"I advise you not to do that."
A cold female voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Qi Ji's action of drawing his sword.
He turned his head and saw a human figure rising from the lake and slowly condensing into a solid shape.
This figure first had the clear and transparent color of the lake water. After it was fully formed into a human shape, it gradually acquired many other colors under the colorful light.
She was a blonde, blue-eyed, stunningly beautiful woman, completely naked.
Her expression was sacred and noble, and she looked at Qi Ji as if she was looking at a fallen leaf beside a tree.
"Why can't I take it?" Qi Ji looked at the unusual woman in front of him and couldn't help but think of the "Lady of the Lake" in King Arthur's legend, and asked calmly.
"Merlin was locked on the Fairy Island and he deserved it. You shouldn't take this sword to rescue him." She said calmly to Qi Ji.
Then, her expression became a little strange, as if she was embarrassed and annoyed, but also reluctant: "Besides, even if you don't save him, he will be able to get out of trouble on his own in no time. It's better to let him suffer a little more."
There is gossip here!
It seems that the legend says that King Arthur was able to obtain the holy sword because Merlin asked the fairy in the lake to give it to him. Doesn't this mean that Merlin has a special relationship with the fairy?
But Qi Ji was not interested in finding out these gossips. Since he had accepted Merlin's commission and received his benefits, he had to try his best to do things well.
He still stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the holy sword.
The fairy in the lake saw his actions but was not angry. She just moved her fingers slightly.
The next second, a stream of light enveloped the broken steel sword and the ground it was inserted into.
"I have placed a restriction on this sword. Only the king's chosen or those who have passed the test can draw it. You don't have to worry about it."
Qi Ji frowned slightly when he heard this, then gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, leaned forward, gritted his teeth and began to exert force.
The Fairy of the Lake looked at him and said indifferently, "Don't waste your energy. I told you, if you want to take it away, you must pass my test first..."
Before she could finish her words, she was stunned.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Qi Ji was seen tightly grasping the hilt of the Broken Steel Sword with both hands , and then a burst of explosive energy began to erupt outward with him as the center, and a terrifying force followed!
A vertical eye-shaped mark appeared on his forehead, and then his eyes became blank. Then, the Berserker Armor on his body began to amplify.
Finally, it is assisted by the power of magic explosion!
Explosive force—one hundred and twenty tons!
Get up for me!
The surface of the Broken Steel Sword emanated a sacred white light, which ensured that it could be firmly inserted into the hard ground.
However, Qi Ji’s tremendous strength was not intended to “pull out” the holy sword, his target was the ground beneath his feet!
Crack! With a loud noise, a huge crack appeared on the ground.
The next second, he suddenly raised his hand, used the broken steel sword as a "grip", and pulled out a large piece of stone under his feet!
Then he easily carried the thing onto his shoulders.
Where the Broken Steel Sword had originally been inserted, there was now only a big hole left.
"You...you!" The fairy in the lake was stunned by the scene before her and began to stutter.
Qi Ji chuckled at her.
"Look, even though I don't have any power of the King's Choice, I can still pull it up, right?"
"Then, as agreed, I will take it away."
