"Catch the sword."
Before Qu Ningshuang could react, Xu Taiping had already tossed the ancient sword Ten Thousand Edges toward her.
The present circumstances clearly left no room for catching up.
So Xu Taiping finally decided to take this opportunity to hand over the sword first.
Everything else could wait.
Smack!!
Qu Ningshuang reached out and caught the sword.
Having been refused so many times, she was momentarily puzzled.
But she was aloof by nature and asked no questions, merely nodding with an indifferent expression.
"Thank you."
Then she turned to the Flame Guard beside her and said:
"I have a sword now. You can let me onto the platform to continue the challenge, can't you?"
The Flame Guard had never wanted to let Qu Ningshuang onto the platform in the first place.
Whether she had a sword was merely an excuse.
So he said coldly:
"With your current injuries, it must be a peerless-grade immortal sword before I can feel comfortable letting you up there."
"Otherwise, if you die, I won't be able to answer to the Flame Court."
Hearing this from a distance, the Flame Guard Chi Fan, standing beside Xu Taiping, immediately moved to rebuke that Flame Guard.
"A Zhu, you..."
"Brother Chi Fan."
But before Chi Fan could finish, Xu Taiping interrupted him.
Under Chi Fan's puzzled gaze, Xu Taiping smiled.
"The sword I gave her is very good."
He immediately added:
"Extremely good!"
The ancient sword Ten Thousand Edges was the Life-Bound Divine Weapon of Qu Yang, a Great Sword Cultivator from ancient times, and it contained the power of Xiantian Divine Weapons.
With further nurturing, it could even rival a true Xiantian Divine Weapon.
Hearing this, Chi Fan immediately grew interested.
"An extremely good sword? Then I'll have to see it for myself."
Just
