The Peerless Spirit Sword

Soon, the mosaic on the projection disappeared, revealing an empty palace.

Chu Huaixiang and the other three stood in a corner, staring at the coffin in the center of the palace.

They have arrived at the final destination.

At this moment, the cultivators outside also realized this, and they all perked up and stared at the projection, looking forward to the final appearance of Emperor Chu the Conqueror.

'Thump!'

The coffin made a snapping sound.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

'Brush'

Each of them produced a magical weapon and stared solemnly at the coffin.

'Thump!'

Another sound.

The coffin lid was ripped off the entire coffin and thrown out.

It fell to the side of the main hall with a 'thud', making a crashing sound.

"Young Master, be careful! The aura is very strong, at least at the fourth level of the Spirit Venerable!" Two men in black stood on either side of Chu Huaixiang, speaking in a deep voice.

Chu Huaixiang's face was also very solemn at this moment. Holding a blue spirit sword in her hand, she nodded slightly and took three steps back.

'Hehehe'

A sinister laugh echoed throughout the palace, reverberating endlessly in the empty space.

Slowly, a body crawled out of the coffin.

First, there were pale hands, dry long hair, and tattered clothes covered in Spider Web. Through the tattered clothes, you could see the already rotting body, with maggots occasionally crawling out of the corpse.

"Ugh!" Some female cultivators couldn't hold it in any longer; their stomachs churned, and they ran out to vomit.

Even the male cultivators frowned, trying their best not to look at the maggots writhing inside the corpse, and instead looked at the entire projection with a polished gaze.

The body finally crawled out, stood beside the coffin, and revealed a pale face.

It was scary, but at least the face wasn't rotting or infested with maggots, so it was barely recognizable and not utterly disgusting.

But when Chu Huaixiang saw this face, she was horrified and cried out, "Ah!"

He couldn't even hold the blue longsword properly before it fell to the ground, and he landed on his bottom, crawling backwards.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" The middle-aged man was extremely anxious and quickly knelt on the ground, following Chu Huaixiang, and asked urgently.

"No, no, it can't be." Chu Huaixiang was already a little dumbfounded, staring blankly at the corpse, shaking her head and backing away.

"Young Master, Young Master, don't scare your subordinate! What's wrong with you!" The middle-aged man was almost dumbfounded. Chu Huaixiang seemed to have suffered some powerful shock, acting like a complete idiot. But if Chu Huaixiang really became an idiot, his life was probably over.

The cultivators outside were also baffled by Chu Huaixiang's behavior, watching the scene with puzzled expressions. The fight hadn't even started yet, and Chu Huaixiang was already so frightened; it was truly astonishing.

"Lord Shangguan, protect the young master."

The two men in black gave an order and then charged towards Emperor Chu the Conqueror. Although they didn't quite understand why Chu Huaixiang had suddenly become like this, they knew it must be related to the corpse in front of them, so they planned to eliminate the corpse that had crawled out of the coffin first.

With a sinister laugh, Emperor Chu the Conqueror raised his hands and grabbed the spirit swords that the two men were thrusting at him.

'Boom!'

The spirit sword pierced Emperor Chu the Conqueror's hands, and powerful Spiritual Power emanated from their center, creating a tremendous sound and a strong gust of wind within the hall.

However, the spirit sword failed to penetrate even an inch, not even scratching the skin.

The two men in black looked grave. One of them increased the force in his hand, and with the momentum, he bounced upwards, made a 180-degree turn in the air, and stabbed down directly from above, his target being the head of the Emperor Chu the Conqueror.

'Whoosh'

This time, Emperor Chu the Conqueror did not directly confront the enemy head-on. Instead, he held his free hand upwards, attempting to block the long sword that was about to pierce his head.

This was an unexpected mutation.

The man in black suddenly exerted his strength, releasing his grip on the spirit sword and directly controlling it with his Spiritual Power. He swiftly formed a sword incantation, and the descending spirit sword hummed as it separated into another spirit sword.

The two spirit swords shot directly towards the head of the Emperor Chu the Conqueror.

'Call out'

The speed was too fast, and the timing was too perfect. Emperor Chu the Conqueror had no time to react. He could only block one spirit sword, while the other spirit sword pierced through his head.

"Ah!" The Emperor Chu the Conqueror seemed to be seriously injured by the stab, letting out a miserable Growl. His entire body shook violently, unleashing a powerful aura that forced the two men in black back.

"That's impressive!" Ma Feifei exclaimed, watching the two men in black work together.

Both of them were only at the third level of the Spirit Venerable, but Emperor Chu the Conqueror was now at the fourth level of the Spirit Venerable. Although they were only one level apart in terms of cultivation, Emperor Chu the Conqueror was, after all, a corpse, so many attacks had no effect on him. Therefore, he was stronger than an ordinary fourth-level Spirit Venerable cultivator in terms of combat ability.

To effectively strike at Xiang Yu, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror, one must find his weakness; the fact that these two have already found Emperor Chu the Conqueror weakness after only just engaging him in Emperor Chu the Conqueror can only mean that they have extremely rich combat experience.

However, since he is the final boss of the Tomb of the Hegemon, if the Emperor Chu the Conqueror were so easy to kill, then this dungeon would be far too easy.

After his entire skull was pierced, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror unleashed a powerful aura, pulling the spirit sword stuck in his skull with a single hand.

There were also some maggot limbs stuck to the blade.

'Smack'

The spirit sword was snapped in two by Emperor Chu the Conqueror's bare hands.

At the same time, a strange aura began to emanate from Emperor Chu the Conqueror.

The aura, a faint golden color, was tangible and drifted toward the coffin.

'Buzz'

Golden energy entered the coffin, causing it to tremble.

Immediately following this trembling sound, a golden spirit sword slowly rose from the coffin.

With a 'whoosh', the spirit sword flew into the hand of Emperor Chu the Conqueror.

This time, not only was Chu Huaixiang stunned, but the remaining three were also dumbfounded.

Even some practitioners inside and outside the Bookstore were dumbfounded!

"If I remember correctly, one of the nine spirit swords that accompanied Emperor Chu the Conqueror in his conquest of the world was gold in color," said an elderly cultivator.

"Yes, five years ago at the Chu Kingdom banquet in Chu, King Chu Heng presented nine pictures of spirit swords for everyone to admire. I happened to be there at the time, and one of them was exactly the same as the one in the picture," another cultivator said with a solemn expression.

"What are you talking about? What does this sword have to do with Xiang Yu, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror?" some confused cultivators asked curiously.

The elderly cultivator, his face filled with shock, exclaimed, "Because this sword is one of those nine spirit swords: an eighth-tier spirit weapon— Unparalleled!"
