Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Awakening of the Sword Cultivator
After Jiang Xiaobai spoke, Bai Jie furrowed her brows deeply.
To them, the Mermaid Tribe, the Forbidden Forest represented a forbidding territory.
Whoever entered it, died.
Though they only attempted it once, their cautious tribe immediately deemed the forest as a location they must not venture into.
The fact that Jiang Xiaobai managed to emerge unscathed only affirmed this belief.
Otherwise, why would a human be able to depart unharmed?
Why couldn’t the powerful members of the Mermaid Tribe who entered hundreds of years ago make their exit?
Unscientific, unreasonable!
“This…is there no other choice?”
Bai Jie gave a bitter smile, saying, “You probably don’t know, Sir, but once we enter, we, the Mermaid Tribe, cannot get out.”
Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand, summarizing the situation in there.
The gist was, it’s okay for the Mermaid Tribe to step foot in there, but they shouldn’t aim for the Dragon Tongue Grass.
Strangely enough, this Mermaid Queen seemed to truly believe in Jiang Xiaobai.
After his explanation, she genuinely agreed with a nod.
“Shall we leave now?”
Jiang Xiaobai probed.
Then the two immediately set off, swiftly heading towards the entrance of the Forbidden Forest.
What baffled Jiang Xiaobai was following:
The Mermaid Tribe should have concealed something.
Otherwise, it made no sense for that old man to arrange things !
Yet the intentions conveyed by the Mermaid Tribe were leaving Jiang Xiaobai puzzled.
What the heck is going on?
Before long, the two of them directly entered the Forbidden Forest.
Initially, Jiang Xiaobai was worried that the mermaids wouldn’t be able to survive out of water.
Turns out, the latter had not only no issues but even transformed her huge fishtail into gleaming and smooth legs!
Seemingly taking human factors into consideration,
Bai Jie used her colorful and iridescent scales to morph into a short skirt.
A mind-bogglingly short one!
Enough to make one’s nose bleed!
Just as they entered, the Sword Saint appeared.
He held a wooden sword, vigilantly watching Bai Jie.
Bai Jie exuded an aura of an Earth Immortal!
Even though the Sword Saint didn’t care much, he stayed on alert.
“Did you figure out a plan?”
The Sword Saint arched his eyebrows at Jiang Xiaobai.
“Not sure if it’s a plan, but we have to try something, or my master will kill me.”
Finishing his words, Jiang Xiaobai and his group charged towards Jian Xiu.
Jian Xiu was still meditating there.
Just by appearances, it would have been impossible to believe that he was dead.
Moreover, a terrifying sword intent circulated around him.
“It’s him, this is Jian Xiu who gave us the handstaff!”
Upon seeing him, Bai Jie immediately exclaimed.
Turns out, every Queen must pass down her memories to her successor!
Consequently, Bai Jie was well aware of many things.
But her demeanor indicated that she truly hadn’t concealed anything?
To prevent unusual circumstances, Jiang Xiaobai secretly warned the Sword Saint to stay cautious.
“Alright, bring out the object first, let’s see how it goes.”
After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking,
Bai Jie immediately acted and brought out the handstaff.
All of a sudden, an anomaly occurred!
The entire grounds, or rather, the entire secret realm began to shake!
The handstaff burst with a terrifying aura, the blue light soared, flew into the sky, completely disregarding Bai Jie’s control.
Seeing this scene, all three were dumbfounded!
“Kid, is this your plan?”
“I think you are just stirring up trouble!”
The Sword Saint’s face grew tense.
That terrifying aura was even unbearable for him.
His heart was trembling!
“Cough cough, let’s see before making any assumptions. I’m just guessing.”
Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and noticed that the horrifying aura on the staff was similar to the sword aura of Jian Xiu.
No wonder it felt familiar!
It seemed that he might have guessed right; this staff might also be left behind by Jian Xiu as a last resort.
But there’s a problem again!
Either the mermaids are hiding something, or it’s the old man who was causing trouble before.
Otherwise, there’s no reason to exclude the mermaids from the sanctuary.
“Wait, could it be that old guy deliberately keeping the mermaids out?”
Such a thought suddenly struck Jiang Xiaobai.
If that’s the case, the implications are even more profound!
Just at this moment, the staff suspended in the air, which was persistently releasing a horrifying power.
A violent aura spread throughout the sanctuary, and every creature within it felt the threat of death.
They were all panicked, screaming everywhere.
Soon after, the aura from the sky transformed into a sharp sword.
It pierced directly into Jian Xiu’s forehead and disappeared.
Silence. Utter, deathlike silence followed.
One second, two seconds.
Who knows how long it had been when sudden a sword beam surged into the sky out of nowhere.
The post-celestial spiritual treasure long sword in Jian Xiu’s hand shot up into the sky and danced gleefully.
Two grandpas in Jiang Xiaobai’s system space could no longer hold back and Jiang Xiaobai released them.
Both grandpas rushed into the sky and tangled with the post-celestial spiritual treasure long sword.
Yes, it felt like they were long-lost friends reunited.
Another terrifying aura exploded!
The three of them staggered backwards!
They saw the young swordsman slowly open his eyes. A moment of confusion then, a surge of murderous intent.
Jiang Xiaobai was shocked, believing his end was near.
However, the next moment, the swordsman extended his hand and the post-celestial spiritual treasure in the air appeared in his hand.
The incredible burst of Tyrant Sword Power.
His face was cold, staring rigidly at the Wind Sword Saint.
“Where’s that old man?”
The Wind Sword Saint was baffled.
“Hmph, damn old thing, if it weren’t for him blocking me, I would have awakened hundreds of years ago!”
The young Sword Sage sneered, “Damn bastard, once I find you, I swear I’ll rip you to shreds!”
When he said this, the swordsman’s face was filled with murderous intent.
What a joke, if it was Jiang Xiaobai himself who had been delayed for hundreds of years due to his revival, he would explode with anger too.
But why would the old man do that?
Soon, the young swordsman’s aura calmed down, but the domain he exuded was indeed breathtaking.
How terrifying was that?
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t bear the terrifying aura.
Seemingly realizing that he had not controlled his strength well after revival, the swordsman retracted his aura.
He looked at Jiang Xiaobai.
He knew who the mermaid was, and he knew who the Wind Sword Saint was.
But he didn’t know who Jiang Xiaobai was!
“I’m Jiang Xiaobai. I came here to challenge Wind Sword Saint under my master’s command.”
“May I know your name, senior?”
Jiang Xiaobai was extremely respectful.
He was clearly aware that he had no resistance at all against this swordsman.
No method whatsoever could compete against him.
He even felt that this Swordsman could even resist the Heavenly Crafted Fire.
After all, his power is way too terrifying.
“My name is Lin Tian.”
Lin Tian said casually, then after looking at Jiang Xiaobai, he suddenly seemed enlightened.
“I see. Now I understand why that old man had me delay my revival for such a long time.”
With that, the merits on Jiang Xiaobai’s body were released uncontrollably.
