Divine Weapons Descending from the Heavens
West Tianfu City.
Late at night.
Outside the Li Family's gates.
Several jianghu men walked along, reeking of wine and cracking jokes, when a dark figure suddenly flashed past them.
The next second, fierce gusts came sweeping down from the rooftops.
The three hurriedly dodged.
"Clang!"
In an instant, a light metallic ring sounded as a long saber descended from the heavens and plunged straight into the stone paving outside the Li Family's gates.
"Which vile sneak dares ambush your grandfathers?"
"Come out if you've got the guts!"
Cold sweat poured down the three burly men's faces as they roared at the night sky.
In truth, they were already prepared for no answer. This was an ambush, after all.
Since it was an ambush, how could anyone come out into the open?
But the next second.
A raspy voice rang out like thunder through the silent night sky.
It could be heard across the whole western part of the city.
"Please take no offense, gentlemen. I merely came to deliver a saber. Fate has brought us together; we shall meet again!"
The rolling voice echoed through the sky.
In the shadows, Sikong Ye, dressed in black night clothes, tapped the megaphone in his hand in puzzlement, utterly astonished.
Just a sheet of iron rolled into a cone, wide at one end and narrow at the other, and shouting into the narrow end made your voice louder?
Amazing!
He was still thinking about what Jun Jingyi had told him before he came. He had thought this thing would be useless, but now... he was convinced.
As expected of Jun Jingyi. He could dream up all sorts of strange and wondrous things.
With that thought, his figure quickly vanished into the night sky.
A hush fell over the entire western part of the city.
Then several figures swiftly headed for the Li Family's gates.
Outside the Li Family's gates.
The three burly men recovered from their anger.
Then they stared blankly at the long saber planted in the ground before them, at its hilt.
"D-Dragon-Slaying Precious Saber?"
The three looked at one another.
They moved closer.
"Th-this is the Dragon-Slaying Precious Saber?"
"The kind that can command the world?"
Half believing and half doubting, the three swallowed, drew their weapons, and lightly touched the saber.
"Clink..."
Seeing their blades broken in two, the three sucked in a breath of cold air.
At the same time, people in many places throughout the surrounding darkness sucked in cold breaths.
Clearly, many people had already gathered here.
They had stayed hidden because they were still unsure.
Though that was what the recent rumors said, none of them had seen it.
But now...
"Enough talk!"
"Run!"
The three burly men came to their senses. Once their excitement passed, they looked at the night around them and felt a chill run down their backs.
The next second, the three cried out in alarm and prepared to leave.
But at the same time, sounds of weapons cutting through the air rang out all around them.
In mere moments, the three burly men's heads were separated from their bodies!
Flashes of sabers and shadows of swords filled the area.
"Whoosh! Are you telling the truth?"
The Eighth Prince sprang to his feet, his eyes bloodshot, and questioned the guard before him in excitement.
"Yes. According to the report, that is indeed the case. The Dragon Slaying Saber is just as the rumors say: ordinary weapons snap the moment they touch it!"
As he spoke, the guard was stunned as well.
Before this, he had always thought it was a scheme,
But now...
A divine weapon!
It really was a divine weapon!
Even though he tried his hardest to keep his composure, he was so excited that his body trembled.
Even with how rational he was, all sorts of thoughts sprang to mind.
The legendary Dragon Slaying Saber was real?
Then what about the Heaven Reliant Sword?
What about the divine skills inside them?
And...
What about that legend?
Command the world!
The guard felt hot blood rushing straight to his head.
Let alone the Eighth Prince.
Sometimes, with some things, knowing was one thing.
It was like knowing that unexpected wealth might bring disaster with it, that you shouldn't touch it, and that pies didn't fall from the sky.
But what if a bundle really did fall onto your roof, with a billion in cash inside?
At that moment, the Eighth Prince felt the throne was right before his eyes.
"Give the order! Spare no expense! Bring back the Dragon Slaying Saber and the Heaven Reliant Sword, no matter what!"
The Eighth Prince shouted excitedly.
"Yes..."
The guard took a deep breath and withdrew.
Soon, black-clad guards from the Eighth Prince's residence came rushing toward the Li Family in the west of the city.
At the same time.
Tianfu City.
Members of the major jianghu sects, even minor sects and independent cultivators, rushed toward the western part of the city as though their lives meant nothing.
Though the moment they entered the western part of the city, they smelled a terrifying stench of blood.
It was the kind of stench that could only arise when countless people had just died.
But no one hesitated for an instant.
Bai Residence.
Bai Ruoli held a book, but couldn't take in a word.
Her thoughts were in turmoil.
The Dragon Slaying Saber?
The Heaven Reliant Sword?
What was all this?
Nothing like this had happened in Tianfu City in her previous life. She was certain of it.
Turning to look at the night sky, Bai Ruoli felt only fear.
He felt that an invisible hand was orchestrating everything in Tianfu City, and it was terrifying.
"Lian'er, what's happening outside?"
"M-Miss... I don't know!"
Lian'er's body trembled slightly.
The sounds of fighting rose and fell outside, frightening her.
"But... I heard the Eighth Prince's guards and the authorities have all rushed over. It's just... I'm afraid the Li Family is finished!"
Lian'er swallowed and spoke cautiously.
