Chapter 1288 - 1288: Battle for the Sword

When it was just the Nameless Sword, a Sword Spirit had already been born. Able to float midair without human control, holding a pearl on it was enough to make countless Martial Artists covet it.

Now, with Sword Intent, Sword Spirit, and Sword Body all fused, and possessing the holy intent of the Xuanyuan Sword, just placing it there would undoubtedly drive countless Martial Artists mad.

So, when the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly stopped midair, many Martial Artists by the river quickly approached. Of course, they didn't rush to action, after all, not all surrounding Martial Artists were together.

Suddenly, two soft glows appeared on the Relic Pearl, and Liu Zixuan and Luo Xi suddenly appeared next to the Xuanyuan Sword.

The Relic Pearl then fell into Liu Zixuan's hand.

Luo Xi tugged at Liu Zixuan's sleeve: "The situation doesn't seem too good!"

Liu Zixuan sneered: "Such a treasure appearing will surely attract countless eyes!"

Although he seemed calm, he was somewhat awkward.

Nearly twenty people surrounded them, forty eyes staring at them—it would make even the thick-skinned feel uneasy.

Seeing the heated gaze of the people around, Liu Zixuan moved the corner of his lips and smiled: "Everyone, I know I'm handsome, but there's no need to worship me like this."

"..."

The foreheads of the Martial Artists were all lined with countless black streaks.

Damn it, do you have to be so narcissistic? We're staring at the pearl and sword, not you!

Seeing their expressions change slightly, Liu Zixuan continued: "If there's nothing else, we'll be off first. It's getting late, time to find a place to eat something delicious."

After speaking, he was about to pull Luo Xi away.

But as soon as he took a step, the Martial Artists moved forward in unison, completely surrounding them.

"Kid, just hand over the pearl and the sword obediently, and we'll let you leave," a burly Martial Artist shouted.

With someone speaking up, the other Martial Artists also gathered the courage and began to shout, seemingly wanting to tear Liu Zixuan apart.

Liu Zixuan rubbed his forehead: "Luo Xi, I fear we'll be arriving after Senior Nine-Fingered at our destination."

"They say holding a treasure is a crime. Carrying these two supreme treasures, you're bound to attract endless trouble wherever you go," Luo Xi said, smiling.

Liu Zixuan hugged Luo Xi: "With such a beautiful lady like you by my side, attracting attention even without treasures."

These days, what attracts people's attention is nothing but treasures and beauties.

Coincidentally, Liu Zixuan had both!

Looking at the greedy expressions of the people, Liu Zixuan swung the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand: "You want this?"

"Nonsense, who wouldn't want such a precious sword? We've been wandering the relic for a long time and haven't found any treasure that compares to it."

"Exactly, be sensible and hand it over to avoid a fight."

Listening to the Martial Artists, Liu Zixuan tossed the Xuanyuan Sword into the air: "I've handed over the sword, whoever wants it, it's up to you to get it!"

"Are you crazy!" Luo Xi suddenly grabbed Liu Zixuan's arm.

Liu Zixuan's lips curled slightly: "Just watch the show!"

When the Xuanyuan Sword was tossed into the air, the surrounding Martial Artists were initially stunned, not expecting Liu Zixuan to agree so easily.

But after thinking it through, with so many people around, no matter how powerful, one wouldn't dare to be too reckless.

Immediately, the Martial Artists leaped into action, starting to snatch it.

Initially, only three to five Martial Artists went up, but seeing the precious sword about to fall into another's hands, the others also joined in.

"Such a treasure, anyone who dares to snatch it from me, I'll fight to the death!"

"Get lost, do you think you're that strong?"

"Hmph, this sword is mine!"

After a few exchanges of words, weapons were drawn, and the battle on the ground and in the air became utterly chaotic.

Luo Xi looked at Liu Zixuan with interest: "Did you foresee this scene?"

Liu Zixuan smiled: "They're all Martial Artists, and their realms aren't low. At this level, other things can't capture their attention, but the Xuanyuan Sword, without doubt, is a dream object for countless Martial Artists."

"People are selfish. In such a situation, that selfishness will be fully unleashed, so there's no need for us to rush, they'll exhaust each other and save us a lot of effort!"

Luo Xi clung to Liu Zixuan's arm: "It's also a chance to take a break and prepare, for after crossing the river, the real battle begins!"

"Indeed, those who remain here are likely the elites among the elites of various countries. By then, it won't be any small skirmish," Liu Zixuan said with a gentle smile, continuing to watch the surrounding battle.

Since everyone wanted the Xuanyuan Sword, from the start, they were fighting relentlessly, revealing their trump cards quickly.

Listening to wails and seeing blood splatter, it was indeed a bloody scene.

People truly will go to any lengths to obtain a certain treasure.

Even at the cost of their lives!

Nearly twenty Martial Artists, and it took less than five minutes, more than half were dead or injured!

The remaining ones were somewhat weary, or more or less had suffered some injuries.

But the Xuanyuan Sword they were fighting over had slowly and quietly returned to Liu Zixuan's hand.

Liu Zixuan paused with his hand, and the Nameless Sword disappeared into the Relic Mini World.

When only four or five Martial Artists were left, they finally realized the treasure they were fighting for was gone!

So they all turned to Liu Zixuan: "Where's the sword?"

"While you were all crazily snatching, I figured it's best not to let others see it, so I kept it safe for you."

"Hand it over!" The Martial Artist, eyes red with rage, pointed his blade directly at Liu Zixuan's face, looking ferocious.

Liu Zixuan scratched his head: "I dare to give it, do you dare to take it?"

"Hmph! There's no treasure in this world I don't dare to take!" the Martial Artist scornfully retorted.

"Alright. Then you can try." Liu Zixuan sighed, he really didn't want to use the Xuanyuan Sword to kill them, but now... it seems there's no other choice.

Under Mind Manipulation, the Xuanyuan Sword reappeared in his hand, with a slight pause, the long sword burst directly toward the Martial Artist.

Liu Zixuan smiled faintly: "You won't have the chance to regret it!"

"Hmph!" The Martial Artist grunted, mobilizing his Inner Strength, grabbed directly at the sword hilt, but he overlooked the Xuanyuan Sword's autonomous attack nature, and before reaching it, the sword pierced through his chest!

With a single stroke, the whole scene fell silent!
