Chapter 955: White Lotus Killing Sword (1)
A sword. A silver-white sword had been hidden in the stone pillar. It was magnificent. It radiated a sacred aura, like a piece of art. The silvery glow it emitted rippled outward in waves, as if it was alive. It formed translucent, delicate lotus petals that gently floated in the air.
It was a fine sword. A sword that even carried faint traces of imperial presence. Li Xiaofei burst out laughing and said, “When I touched the stone pillar earlier, I vaguely sensed the aura of a sword. As expected, a sword was hidden here. Haha, what a fine sword this is. I feel like it is destined for me...”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Liu Shaji. But the moment he looked, Li Xiaofei froze. Liu Shaji was standing still, his body trembling slightly. Tears had welled up in his eyes.
That rascal... why is he crying?
“Eh? If you like it, it can be yours too. A real man shouldn’t be crying over a sword...” Li Xiaofei tried to comfort him.
“Old friend.” Liu Shaji spoke slowly.
Clang.
The silver sword let out a crisp chime, as if answering Liu Shaji. It was like a maiden responding to the call of her beloved. The sword rose into the air and slowly floated toward Liu Shaji. His hand trembled. The merciless iron hand that had once slaughtered thousands was now shaking ever so slightly.
Li Xiaofei quickly understood what was happening. This sword must have been of vital importance to Liu Shaji. Every time Liu Shaji had fought in the past, his sword qi had soared into the sky. The sword light would always take the form of white lotus flowers. And this sword, too; its glowing sword qi transformed into lotus shapes as well.
“The White Lotus Killing Sword,” Liu Shaji said softly. “My old companion, I’ve finally found you.”
He grasped the sword. The excitement and elation in his expression slowly gave way to calm.
“This is my Dao-proving treasure,” he said as he turned to Li Xiaofei. “It’s also the last remaining inheritance of my former sect in this world. Of the once-great White Lotus Sword Sect, only I and this sword remain.”
