Sorry, My Sword Would Only Become Faster and More Ruthless!

Northern Heavens Continent, White Dragon City.

The teleportation array blazed brightly, and two graceful figures emerged.

"The White Dragon Hill where White Dragon City stands was said to have been a battlefield several centuries ago."

An Ran immediately began her introduction.

"Countless experts perished there, including Supreme Realm experts."

"After those experts fell, they left behind many secret treasures and ruins. Within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, we call them spiritual troves."

Her mission was to investigate whether there was a Supreme-level spiritual trove here.

Either there was one, or there was not.

Of course, she also had to verify whether the Dragon Demon Palace's traces were real.

According to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's intelligence, the Dragon Demon Palace seemed to be active around White Dragon Hill.

And their activity was ongoing.

Though they kept themselves hidden, they could not escape the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's watchful eyes.

"As for White Dragon City itself, it is the largest city in the White Dragon Hill region and governs several hundred miles of territory."

An Ran looked around and continued, "We need to be wary of White Dragon City's lord. He is suspected to be in the Transforming Heaven Realm."

Though she did not believe that any force on the Northern Heavens Continent besides the Dragon Demon Palace would dare openly target the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Still, even a mighty dragon could not suppress a local snake. It was always best to be careful.

"Alright."

Luo Li nodded slightly and said softly, "Let's find an inn and rest first."

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the Nine-leaf Sword Grass on the Luo God Sword.

His cultivation speed was getting faster and faster.

The advantages granted by the Spirit Road Champion's reward and the Luo River Divine Dragon's divine beast blood essence were gradually becoming less apparent.

Given enough time, would she be unable even to keep up with Zhao Chen's pace?

That pressure left Luo Li deeply worried.

However, if Zhao Chen knew what Luo Li was thinking, he would certainly comfort her.

After all, if he had cheats as a blade of grass and still could not surpass those of his generation, that would be utterly embarrassing.

The pressure on him would be immense!

At that moment, Zhao Chen was focused on something else.

He silently recited in his heart, "Check in!"

[Ding! Checking in... Check-in location—White Dragon City. Check-in successful!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully checking in. You have accumulated three check-ins and may receive the check-in reward—Great Luo Sword Embryo!]

Back in the Black Eerie Abyss of the Northern Spiritual Realm, he had completed one check-in and obtained the True Phoenix Art, one of the Ten Fiends' precious arts.

Over the past few days, he had diligently practiced it and made considerable progress.

After arriving on the Northern Heavens Continent and entering the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he had checked in once.

He had checked in once more at the Task Hall.

This was now his third accumulated check-in.

After completing three accumulated check-ins, Zhao Chen received his fourth check-in reward.

"Great Luo Sword Embryo!"

Zhao Chen examined the Great Luo Sword Embryo he had obtained. Its blade was neither long nor sharp, and he fell into thought.

He knew the Great Luo Sword Embryo's origins. It was exceedingly ominous.

It had had many owners, yet not a single one had withstood its ill fortune. All of them had met their deaths.

Even that one who had stood alone across the ages had once been cleaved into countless drops of bloody rain by the Great Luo Sword Embryo.

Zhao Chen might not surpass that person, but he could certainly boast of being his equal.

Which meant, should he be worried about this thing too?

Looking at the ancient, dim, lusterless Great Luo Sword Embryo and feeling its weight of over a hundred thousand jin, Zhao Chen steeled himself.

The barefoot had nothing to fear from those wearing shoes.

He was so weak. What the hell did he have to fear?

Setting aside its reputation as an ominous weapon, the Great Luo Sword Embryo itself was formidable. The stronger its opponent, the stronger it became.

It could also devour other things to strengthen itself.

"Heh, I have a weapon now too."

Zhao Chen stretched lazily, his mood improving considerably.

But his gaze soon sharpened.

"Luo Li, someone has set their sights on you."

Although he had long known White Dragon City's true nature, Zhao Chen was still somewhat surprised. They really were bold.

Had they truly treated White Dragon City as their own kingdom, where they could do whatever they pleased?

At the very least, they should investigate first, lest they kick an iron plate.

Zhao Chen grumbled inwardly but did not act.

There was no need for this old man to step in yet.

"Mm."

The moment Luo Li and An Ran entered the inn, they discovered that all the surrounding windows and doors had shut at once.

Countless points of spiritual light emerged, and a spiritual array rose into the air.

"Danger!"

An Ran was greatly alarmed and instinctively shielded Luo Li behind her.

She had never expected that a random inn in White Dragon City would be a black inn!

In broad daylight, their audacity was simply outrageous!

"It's fine. This is a trapping array meant to prevent us from breaking out and leaving."

Luo Li gripped the Luo God Sword and surveyed her surroundings.

There was no intention to attack, which meant the enemy wanted to capture them alive.

And there was no need to guess what they could do after capturing them alive.

"I heard White Dragon City's young city lord is a lecher."

Once she had calmed down, information about White Dragon City rapidly flashed through An Ran's mind. She said in a low voice,

"It seems he has targeted us."

She was not making baseless claims. Any woman of some beauty in White Dragon City had been sent to that young city lord's bed.

Anyone who dared commit suicide or resist the attackers would have their entire family implicated.

"You are mistaken, miss. I merely cherish beauty. I am not some lustful fiend."

A young man in white descended leisurely from the inn's stairs, fanning himself.

He looked presentable enough, but the lust hidden in his eyes was impossible to conceal. It was truly disgusting.

"This inn's environment is so poor. How could I possibly allow two distinguished guests who have come from afar to rest here?"

Bai Dong, White Dragon City's young city lord, put on a false front as he invited them.

"Why not come to the City Lord's Manor? I will certainly entertain you warmly. I will not let you leave in anger until you are satisfied."

Those exceptionally blunt words finally made An Ran unable to endure any longer.

She drew an ice-blue longsword and pointed it at Bai Dong, saying coldly,

"We are from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Release us immediately, or you will not live to see tomorrow's sun!"

People from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy?

The young man in white stopped fanning himself, and the lust on his face faded somewhat.

His expression darkened as he sneered.

"Since you are from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, then you can stay here forever!"

"Once I grow tired of playing with you, then..."

Before he could finish, a sword of icy spiritual energy shot toward him.

A gray shadow flashed past and effortlessly shattered the attack.

An Ran's pupils contracted as she said tensely,

"Early Transforming Heaven Realm!"

She was only at the early Fusion Heavenly Realm, though she could fight opponents at the middle stage.

But when the gap spanned an entire major realm, there was nothing she could do.

White Dragon City's young city lord had actually brought an early Transforming Heaven Realm expert with him!

"Little girl, you are quite fiery."

Bai Dong sneered repeatedly. Did she really think he could do whatever he pleased on White Dragon City's territory for no reason?

It was naturally because he possessed absolute strength and sufficient charm.

"Then you had better stay this fiery!"

The moment his words fell, the gray-robed elder decisively reached out with an eagle claw, attempting to seize An Ran and soothe the young city lord's anger.

"You think you are worthy of touching my people?"

What greeted the gray-robed elder was a sword strike!

This sword strike was peerlessly sharp.

In an instant, it tore apart the trapping array within the inn.

It also cleaved the gray-robed elder in half on the spot!

Blood burst forth and splattered across Bai Dong's face!

"N-No, impossible! He was a Transforming Heaven Realm expert! How could he be..."

Bai Dong was terrified out of his wits.

He collapsed onto the ground, his vision filled with crimson.

To him, the stunningly beautiful Luo Li and An Ran looked like death gods come to claim his life, specially here to judge him for all the sins he had committed!

"Even Heavenly Sovereigns can perish. How could a mere Transforming Heaven Realm expert not die?"

Luo Li pierced Bai Dong's glabella with her sword and mercilessly harvested his life.

After leaving the Spirit Road, her sword would only become faster and more ruthless!

"After today, White Dragon City will cease to exist."

What would exist in its place was her Luo God City!
