Chapter 62: My Sword Dao Eye Can Discern the Origin of All Things!
The man appeared to be in his early twenties.
With sword-like brows and starry eyes, his long hair dancing wildly, he possessed a handsome yet flamboyant appearance. His entire being radiated a sharp, cutting aura.
At a single glance, one felt that he was born to be a swordsman.
A natural sword seed in his very bones!
Yet, the most striking feature about him was the silver crescent mark at the center of his brow. Resembling a vertical pupil, it suddenly shot out brilliant divine light.
Wherever the divine light shone, all Yin and evil energy was annihilated.
Li Zuiyue!
The Chief Disciple of the Sword Vein of the Three Purities Immortal Sect, cultivation base at the Ninth Heaven of the Golden Core Stage, the Extreme Realm.
Ranked among the Ten True Disciples of the Three Purities Immortal Sect, and placed high on the Southern Region's Golden Core List, he was a genuine, unparalleled prodigy.
It was said that...
He possessed an extremely unique physique: natural sword bones, allowing him to master any sword technique with half the effort.
Natural sword eyes; no demon or ghost could deceive his gaze.
He was a treasure of the Sword Vein seen only once every five hundred years.
At only twenty-seven years old, he had gained the recognition of the Sword Vein's supreme treasure, the 'Heavenly Season Sword Box'.
Given time, he had the potential to become a Sage or a Patriarch!
If it had been a moment ago.
Wang Xiu would have been absolutely overjoyed if Li Zuiyue had arrived in time.
Because with him here,
The Thousand-Face Evil Lord would be nothing but a punk, utterly unable to withstand a single blow!
But right now, this guy had arrived at the absolute worst possible moment!
Wang Xiu's mouth twitched slightly!
Earlier, he had used the Heavenly Demon Myriad Transformation Mantra to disguise himself as a ghost general and had stabbed the Thousand-Face Evil Lord in the kidney. But the battle had been too intense, and he had forgotten to transform back.
And now...
He had become the villain instead!
"Clear and Bright!"
"Awakening of Insects!"
"Grain in Ear!"
"Great Heat!"
"Autumn Equinox!"
"Great Cold!"
Li Zuiyue formed a sword seal with his hand. Every time he chanted a solar term, a famous sword would shoot out from the silver sword box behind him, the sword energy overwhelming.
The pressure radiating from the six flying swords was enough to crush the Thousand-Face Evil Lord alone, let alone all of them.
"Friendly!"
Wang Xiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said, "Big Brother, I'm on your side!"
"On your side?"
Who would be on the same side as a vicious ghost emitting such thick Yin and evil energy?
Li Zuiyue looked coldly at Wang Xiu and snorted, "Do you think you can deceive the Sword Eyes in my brow?"
"I'm not bragging!"
"My Sword Eyes can discern the origin of all things. No demon or ghost in this world can escape this Dharma Eye of mine!"
"Abomination! I can tell at a glance that you aren't human!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations to the Host, you have gained +99 Spiritual Qi.]
*Cha~
This transformation technique was too strong; it was also a trouble.
Wang Xiu's mouth twitched. He couldn't very well say: Senior Brother, the version of your Sword Eyes is too low, and the specs are total trash!
He had a feeling...
If he said that, Li Zuiyue might get so angry he would kill him to silence him!
After all.
Considering the 'Bloodlight Disaster' and 'Omen of Great Misfortune' between the Sword Vein and the Divination Vein, Wang Xiu really had no confidence in his heart.
Should he just switch to another identity and try to curry favor with Senior Brother Li again?
Thinking of this.
Wang Xiu shook his body and instantly transformed into Ji Yanlei's appearance. From his face to his figure and even his aura, there was no difference at all.
Even...
Wang Xiu felt that after transforming into Ji Yanlei, his brain wasn't working quite as well.
*Hiss~
Watching the 'sinister ghost' before him suddenly shake his body and turn into a Daoist disciple, Li Zuiyue was completely stunned.
Why?
Why did this guy turn into a human, and the ghost aura on his body completely vanished? Even his Sword Dao Dharma Eye couldn't see through it!
"How is this possible?"
"Show yourself!"
"Reveal your form!"
"Show yourself!!!"
Li Zuiyue put his index and middle fingers together on both hands and pressed them against his temples.
Instantly, the curved crescent mark at the center of his brow began to expand, gradually turning into a round moon, a full moon, and the light suddenly surged.
Like a 200-watt lightbulb.
Eerily, on that 200-watt lightbulb, bloodshot veins could faintly be seen.
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
After a long while, perhaps because he had stared for too long, his eyes had gone dry.
Li Zuiyue closed the Sword Eyes at his brow, tears dripping out. He lowered his head, covered his eyes, and roared, "Monster, don't you try to deceive me!"
"My... my Sword Dao Dharma Eye can discern the origin of all things. No demon or ghost in heaven and earth can deceive my eyes."
"You are no exception. Reveal your true form quickly! Retreat, retreat, retreat!"
"Explode!!!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations to the Host, you have gained +99 Spiritual Qi.]
Looking at Li Zuiyue, who had started to question his life and was even a bit hysterical.
Wang Xiu said with a face full of sincerity, "Senior Brother, I really am on your side."
"I am Ji Yanlei, a True Disciple of the Thunder Peak. What I used just now was precisely a Thunder Vein spell: Wind and Thunder Talisman Sword Art."
"Senior Brother has seen so much, you surely can recognize that move, right?"
Ji Yanlei?
This name sounds like I have absolutely no impression of him!
However.
If this guy is surnamed Ji, it's normal for me, Li, not to know him.
After all, Uncle-Master Ji Yan has over a hundred sons. Not to mention disciples of the Sword Vein like Li Zuiyue who can't remember the names.
Even Uncle-Master Ji Yan himself probably can't remember all of them!
Li Zuiyue rubbed his eyes for a long time before turning to look at Wang Xiu, still full of suspicion: "If you are a disciple of the Thunder Vein, then where is the demon of the Zhao Manor?"
Wang Xiu spread his hands: "He committed too many sins and was struck to death by heavenly punishment."
Li Zuiyue: ???
You kid, you seem to be treating me like an idiot!
Struck to death by heavenly punishment?
There are millions of demons in this world; how many have ever been struck by heavenly punishment?
This guy appeared in the Zhao Manor in the form of a vicious ghost, with the heavily unconscious Li Longhao and his three brothers beside him. It was excessively suspicious.
Moreover.
This guy's transformation technique is unfathomable; even my innate Sword Eyes couldn't see through it.
If he really is an evil heretic, and if he escapes today, who knows how much trouble he will cause in the future. I absolutely cannot lower my guard.
Thinking of this.
Li Zuiyue put his fingers together to form a sword, and three more flying swords flew out from the sword box, heavily surrounding Wang Xiu: "You had better not move rashly. My flying swords don't have eyes!"
Having said that.
He took off the communication token hanging at his waist and channeled a spell into it.
*Di-du~
*Di-du~
The waiting tone for connection seemed incredibly long in Li Zuiyue's ears, and even longer in Wang Xiu's ears.
A moment later.
The other side of the communication token connected. It was a magnificent palace.
Ji Yan sat solemnly in the main seat, wearing a gentle smile on his face: "Nephew Zuiyue, actually contacting this Seat on your own initiative, this is truly rare!"
"What is it?"
"Has Nephew thought it through and wants to change majors to our Thunder Vein? I'm telling you, worshipping me as an additional master is definitely not a loss. The Thunder Vein needs talent like you!"
"Just think, the Seven-Steps Dragon Slashing Art is also a sword technique! With one sword strike, a Thunder Dragon soars into the sky. Isn't that style higher than your Sword Vein's flying swords?"
"As long as you join the Thunder Vein, spirit stones, secret manuals, resources, and junior sisters—we have it all!"
[Ding!]
