Chapter 227: The Divine Sword
Tianshi Emperor had an ordinary looking scabbard in his hands but the hilt that was visible was leather and in the pommel there was a big black jade fixed and the decorative guard made of gold had two Amber crystals that resembled the eyes of a tiger. At one glance Xing could tell the name of the sword...
This is Shensheng LeiDian, the Divine Thunder and Lighting sword commonly known as the Divine Sword of the Scarlet Tiger.
So this guy really left with his sword! And I really blamed Chenglie for nothing! Xing felt bad for telling him that she wanted this sword as a betrothal gift or else she won’t marry him. Poor guy would have searched high and low for the sword while it was with the Tianshi Emperor himself.
"So I could kill Old Rong with this sword?", Xing asked. She felt her hands itching to hold that sword immediately.
"Yes, for you just one strike with this sword will end him", he replied and offered her the sword.
"One strike..? Then why did I have to go through that awful training in that cave?", Xing was confused and didn’t accept the sword. Everyone talked like it was a big task that I had to do and why is this being explained as child’s play by him?
The Tianshi Emperor took a deep breath," This sword was specially cast in the heavens for me to avenge for my mother and it only recognised me as the Master. Even my son could not fully use this sword. So I had to prepare you with intense training if you should be chosen by the Gods to kill Old Rong as I was worried you’ll lose the God Essence in you after a while. As you know your soul brother is alive and if you refuse or deemed unworthy, he’ll be chosen for this task and in that case, my bloodline will perish. So that’s why I had to be cruel towards you. But... For some reason, my sword chose you as Master when it came in contact with you and from then on it is your sword and I am only the keeper of this sword for now"
"My soul brother? So where is he? Will he oppose me? Should I be wary of him? ", Xing asked. So all her speculations were right about why he trained her except the God Essence thing.
"No", he shook his head, "He is your brother by soul and he won’t and can’t oppose you or harm you, now that you have taken the role of the divine ruler. He is a royal too and you will meet him if fate dictates. You need not know about him for now", he was firm in his words and looked like he won’t talk much about that issue and Xing decided to let it go too. It’s not like she is lacking Brothers in her life!
"Child, accept this sword", he spoke authoritatively and held the sword horizontally and presented it to her with his right hand.
