Chapter 268 A peerless sword, though a bit ugly.
Desperate to obtain the peerless sword, Aotian leaped forward, rushing towards the giant sword in the center of the sword pool without regard for anything else.
However, as soon as he approached the giant sword, he felt a wave of heat wash over him.
However, in order to obtain the peerless sword, he no longer cared about anything else.
He reached out and touched the greatsword!
hiss hiss hiss...
The moment Aotian's hand touched the giant sword, it was scorched by the blazing heat, and a burnt smell immediately filled the air.
At the same time, Aotian let out a miserable cry and immediately withdrew his hand, his expression one of extreme pain.
At this moment, Li Yao and Wudao Kuangtian had arrived at the Sword Pool.
The guards stationed outside were all dealt with by Wudao Kuangtian.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the peerless sword, and no one noticed the arrival of Li Yao and Wudao Kuangtian.
Li Yao noticed that everyone was staring at the giant sword in the center of the sword pool.
Clearly, that giant sword must be an unparalleled sword.
"Tian'er, as the master of the Sword Worship Manor, you must obtain a peerless sword before you try again!"
"Madam Ao said urgently."
She was only being polite and evasive towards the Sword Demon because she hoped he could help her son obtain the peerless sword.
Once her son obtains the peerless sword, the revitalization of the Sword Worship Manor will be just around the corner.
"Mother, the peerless sword is too hot to take out!"
Ao Tian stared at the giant sword with a look of terror on his face; he had almost been burned to death by it just now.
If it meant risking his life for a sword, he would rather not have this peerless sword.
"You...you have disappointed me so much!"
Madam Ao shook her head in disappointment, looking utterly disappointed.
At this moment, Bu Jingyun made his move.
To Li Yao's surprise, as soon as Bu Jingyun touched the giant sword, he frowned, withdrew his hand, and actually gave up on taking the sword.
Well?
What happened?
This is somewhat different from the original work.
However, Li Yao quickly figured out the key point.
In the original novel, Bu Jingyun's desire to obtain the peerless sword was solely for the purpose of seeking revenge against Xiong Ba.
Now that Xiong Ba is dead, the hatred in his heart is gone.
Furthermore, he hasn't found his beloved Xueyuan yet, so he certainly wouldn't risk his life for a sword.
At this moment, Duan Lang also tried to take the sword, but eventually gave up because of the scorching heat.
"This won't work!"
"Sword Demon, go and kill everyone here immediately. We can't let the peerless sword fall into the hands of others."
Lady Ao steeled her heart, lowered her voice, and fiercely ordered the Sword Demon.
For his son's sake, and for the sake of Baijian Manor, he must find a way to obtain the peerless sword, no matter what.
Once they've killed everyone present, they can slowly figure out a way to retrieve the peerless sword.
"Alright, Madam Ao, don't worry, none of these people will escape!"
The Sword Demon obeyed Lady Ao's orders without question.
Just as the Sword Demon was about to make his move, a thunderous voice suddenly rang out: "Madam Ao, what a boastful tone! You actually want to kill everyone here."
"ah?"
"Madam Ao, you actually want to kill us all?"
"You're so cruel!"
Everyone turned to look at Madam Ao, glaring angrily.
Lady Ao was startled. She had spoken very softly, and everyone's attention was focused on the peerless sword.
How could anyone possibly notice that she was talking?
Her eyes darted frantically through the crowd as she demanded, "Who? Who is slandering me?"
"Did I slander you?"
Li Yao said it casually.
As soon as he finished speaking, he and Wudao Kuangtian emerged from the crowd.
Madam Ao frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
At this moment, Duan Lang and Bu Jingyun saw Li Yao and exclaimed in unison, "City Lord!"
"City Lord?!"
"The city lord of Wushuang City?!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.
The person who arrived was none other than Li Yao, the city lord of Wushuang City.
Today, Li Yao's name has already resounded throughout the entire land of China.
Since Li Yao swallowed up Wushuang City and destroyed the Tianxia Society and Wushen Jue Palace, a large portion of the martial arts world in Shenzhou is now under his control.
It can be said that Li Yao is now the true supreme master of the martial arts world.
The martial arts supreme being residing in the imperial city was no longer worthy of the title.
Madam Ao was startled; she hadn't expected Li Yao to appear here.
Her eyes darted around, and she said, "Lord Li, as the lord of Wushuang City, surely you wouldn't do something as despicable as stealing a sword from someone's door."
She was quite clever; she used Li Yao's identity to put Li Yao in a difficult position.
What do you think?
Li Yao looked at Madam Ao and smiled gently, which made Madam Ao's heart tremble.
His eyes were like a bottomless abyss, drawing people in completely.
Li Yao looked at the giant sword in the sword pool and said indifferently, "Since none of you are going to take the sword, I will not be polite."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the camera in mid-air.
A terrifying suction force erupted from his palm.
The giant sword had begun to tremble violently.
With a swift movement, to everyone's astonishment, the giant sword fell into Li Yao's hands.
Instantly, Li Yao felt an intense burning sensation spread to his palm.
He channeled an extremely yin and cold Daoist energy, instantly cooling the peerless sword.
Li Yao carefully examined the peerless sword in his hand, copied it, and even disassembled it.
Weapon Spirit +21!
Peerless Soul *1!
After a moment, Li Yao shook his head slightly and said, "It's a good sword, but it's a bit ugly!"
"???"
Everyone fell silent.
This is an exceptional sword, how can it be ugly?
"This peerless sword belongs to our Sword Worship Manor. Return it to us immediately."
Ao Tian realized what was happening and immediately shouted.
He didn't care that Li Yao was the lord of Wushuang City.
The peerless sword was the key to the Sword Worship Manor's resurgence, and he would never allow anyone to touch it.
"Yeah?"
Li Yao smiled slightly and channeled his energy into his hand.
Instantly, the peerless sword burst forth with a blinding light, and everyone instinctively closed their eyes.
At the same time, the light suddenly disappeared into a forest of swords within the sword pool.
Li Yao pointed to the forest of swords filled with longswords and said calmly, "Since the peerless sword belongs to your Sword Worship Manor, you can go find it yourself."
"you……"
Ao Tian's face immediately darkened.
There are hundreds or even thousands of swords in the Sword Forest.
These swords are almost identical in design to the legendary sword.
Moreover, the peerless sword has not yet been sharpened.
Finding the finest sword among so many is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
In fact, what Li Yao just obtained was the sword soul and sword essence of the peerless sword, and what the system copied was also the sword soul and sword essence of the peerless sword.
However, this does not affect his ability to replicate and decompose.
Because the sword soul and sword essence are the most valuable things.
Li Yao walked to Bu Jingyun's side, patted Bu Jingyun's shoulder, and said, "This peerless sword belongs to you. If you search for it with all your heart, you will surely find it."
