Sunzi Meets His Ancestor
One of the nine spirit swords belonging to Emperor Chu the Conqueror, the founding emperor of the Great Chu, has actually appeared in Book Instance "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles"!
"I remember there was a rumor that after Emperor Chu the Conqueror established the Chu Kingdom, he sealed these nine spirit swords in the Sword-Washing Pool?" a cultivator asked doubtfully.
"That's right! Even if it's not in the Sword-Washing Pool, it shouldn't be in the book, right? Isn't this a fake world?" The others also had great doubts about this.
The idea of magical artifacts and beasts jumping out of books was already considered a bit far-fetched, but now there are magical artifacts from the Azure Dragon Continent jumping into the book, which is simply too exaggerated.
"Is it possible that it only looks the same, and is not actually the same Peerless Sword?" someone asked.
This statement was agreed upon by many people, but was immediately refuted by the rather elderly man.
The old man pointed to the spirit sword in the hand of Emperor Chu the Conqueror in the projection and said, "Didn't you see the words on the sword?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up.
The words "Unparalleled" were found engraved on the sword near the hilt!
"It really is the Peerless Sword!" Everyone was shocked.
Just then, Chu Huaixiang in the projection suddenly stood up, looked at Emperor Chu the Conqueror opposite her with an incredulous gaze, and asked, "Ancestor?"
This statement was earth-shattering!
The shock it brought to everyone was even stronger than that Peerless Sword.
Throughout the entire world, who else, besides Emperor Chu the Conqueror, the founder of the Chu Kingdom, could be addressed as Ancestor by the princes of the Great Chu?
In other words, this tomb belongs to Tomb of the Hegemon Chu!
"My God! It's actually Xiang Yu, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror!" The group of cultivators had lost their usual composure, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on? Why is Emperor Chu the Conqueror's tomb in the book? And wasn't it said that Emperor Chu the Conqueror didn't die? How come there's even a tomb now?"
No one could answer the cultivator's question. Everyone stared in shock at the Emperor Chu the Conqueror projected on the screen, the pinnacle figure who had conquered the Azure Dragon Continent five thousand years ago!
Within the projection.
Chu Huaixiang was met with the sharp sword energy of the Peerless Sword.
With a light flick of his wrist, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror unleashed a ten-zhang-long sword aura that slashed towards Chu Huaixiang.
"Young Master, be careful!" Two men in black stepped forward, channeling their Spiritual Power to fight against Emperor Chu the Conqueror.
'Bang~'
The powerful sword energy sent the two flying.
He collapsed to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The power of an eighth-tier spiritual weapon is now fully displayed!
Although Chu Huaixiang still had a shocked expression on her face, the situation was already a bit dangerous. She didn't care whether the person in front of her was her Ancestor or not, and took out a completely red mirror from her spatial bag.
Crimson Flame Mirror!
Also an eighth-tier spiritual weapon, it can unleash the most powerful and yang flames in the world, providing a significant attribute boost to dark and yin elements.
Chu Huaixiang formed the Crimson Flame Art, channeling her Spiritual Power into the Crimson Flame Mirror. The Crimson Flame Mirror, as if burning, began to ignite with crimson flames.
'Call out!'
With its Spiritual Power fully infused, the Crimson Flame Mirror unleashed a beam of red flame straight at Emperor Chu the Conqueror.
"Heh heh~" Emperor Chu the Conqueror let out a sinister laugh, raising his Peerless Sword to slash at the flame.
'Pfft~'
The flames were cut in half by the Peerless Sword. According to inertia, they should have shot to both sides, but the flames seemed to have a spirit, turning in the air and rushing straight at Emperor Chu the Conqueror.
'Aww!'
The flames began to burn as soon as they touched Emperor Chu the Conqueror's body, instantly igniting his entire corpse and turning him into a human torch. The powerful flames caused Emperor Chu the Conqueror great harm, making him unable to help but let out a miserable Growl.
"Now's the time!"
Upon seeing this, the two men in black propped themselves up, activated their sword techniques, and soared into the air.
'Swish~'
The swords in the hands of the two men in black came off one after the other and lay side by side, their tips pointing downwards at Xiang Yu, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror.
'Ding~'
The two swords slowly came together, touching each other and producing a crisp Tackle sound.
'When!'
Suddenly, the two swords emitted a powerful sword light, and the two swords merged together, becoming one!
The two swords merged!
'Roar!'
After the two swords were combined, under the infusion of powerful Spiritual Power, the shadow of a spirit beast appeared. This spirit beast was like a tiger, with its four paws on the swords, its blood-red mouth wide open, roaring at the Emperor Chu the Conqueror below.
In that instant of roaring, the twin swords whistled as they pierced straight into the head of the Emperor Chu the Conqueror.
'Boom!'
A tremendous explosion resounded throughout the entire hall.
The Emperor Chu the Conqueror was blasted to pieces by this attack.
"Dead?" The cultivators outside the Bookstore whispered upon seeing this.
"He must be dead!" a cultivator replied, though his tone was filled with skepticism.
At this moment, a message appeared next to the instance, and everyone realized that Xiang Yu, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror, was indeed dead.
Congratulations to the team for successfully clearing the Tomb of the Tomb of the Hegemon. Rewards will be calculated shortly.
The copy of "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" has finally been completed!
However, no one showed joy on their faces; instead, their faces were filled with shock and confusion. Even Chu Huaixiang in the projection was the same, her expression complex. She slowly walked towards the coffin, came to the place where Emperor Chu the Conqueror had exploded, squatted down, and picked up the Peerless Sword.
'Ding~'
The Peerless Sword possessed a spirit; when Chu Huaixiang held it in her hand, it trembled slightly.
"It really is the Peerless Sword of our Ancestor!" Chu Huaixiang exclaimed, touching the two characters on the sword.
The nine eighth-tier spirit swords of Xiang Yu, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror, are unique in the entire Azure Dragon Continent; there is only one of each. As descendants of Emperor Chu the Conqueror, how could they not know about these nine spirit swords that accompanied him in his conquests?
"But why is this Peerless Sword here? And why is our Ancestor's tomb here?" Slowly, Chu Huaixiang's face darkened.
'Ding ding ding~'
Suddenly, a golden light emanated from the projection, and the four people were teleported out as four beams of golden light. The book "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" also began to slowly fall down. The golden light disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
Chu Huaixiang and her three companions stood inside the Bookstore, momentarily stunned.
"Congratulations to everyone for successfully clearing the Tomb of the Hegemon and obtaining this eighth-tier spirit sword as a reward." Since a reader had cleared the level, Ma Feifei naturally went up to offer his congratulations.
What puzzled Ma Feifei was why the reward was automatically generated this time; it seemed like the system had missed a step.
Chu Huaixiang looked at the Peerless Sword in her hand, then at Ma Feifei, her expression somewhat complicated.
The surrounding cultivators showed no surprise at the appearance of yet another eighth-order spirit sword, and silently stood by and watched the show.
Ma Feifei, on the other hand, was quite composed, looking at Chu Huaixiang with a smile.
"Thank you, shop owner!" Chu Huaixiang clasped her hands in thanks, but there was no joy in her voice.
"Welcome to come again next time," Ma Feifei replied with a smile.
Chu Huaixiang nodded, glanced at Yun Qingyang who was still slumped over the table, and turned to walk out of the Bookstore.
Watching Chu Huaixiang walk out of the Bookstore, Ma Feifei couldn't help but sigh, "This is a huge problem."
