Chapter 932: Descended
Zhu Zhixun finally understood. This Silver Sword fragment was something he had found on the outskirts of the Holy Ruins while following the Grand Commander on campaigns as a War General of the resistance.
To say he had ‘found’ it was not quite right. It was as if the fragment itself possessed a spirit and had chosen him. At that time, the fragment had turned into a streak of light and stuck to his body, refusing to leave as if it had attached itself to him.
Sensing the fragment’s spirituality, Zhu Zhixun had kept it, nurturing it with his own Immortal Force. Later, he gradually unlocked its power. Once infused with Immortal Force, it had become nearly unstoppable.
Zhu Zhixun had never fully understood the fragment’s origin. Now, hearing it from the Grand Princess, he immediately realized that she was most likely telling the truth.
Could it really be a piece of the sword once wielded by that legendary Sword Immortal Lin Beichen, the one who had nearly overturned the entire Reaper ancestral court with a single blade? What a stroke of fortune that would be.
Zhu Zhixun felt a surge of excitement.
“You look quite pleased,” the Grand Princess said with a mocking smile. “What a pity. In the end, it’s just a fragment. If it were the complete Silver Sword, you might have had a slim chance of survival tonight.”
Zhu Zhixun retreated swiftly. He had bought himself enough time from the conversation just now. He poured all his Immortal Force into the Silver Sword fragment once again. This was the greatest strength he could muster.
“Even a fragment can protect a piece of sky for the human race,” he roared.
Without hesitation, he activated the sword fragment. A brilliant silver radiance burst forth in the void. Beams of silver light emitted unparalleled, piercing sword qi. Dozens more elite guards of the Hui Yao clan were cut through and fell lifeless in an instant.
Zhu Zhixun sought to carve out a path for his companions to escape with the last of the sword fragment’s power.
“Hui Yao clan, peerless,” the Grand Princess shouted, crossing her broad swords before her chest as she activated the family’s innate divine art.
