Only Thirty Percent of His Strength Remained, but He Could Still Handle Saint Emperors
"Master, master."
On this day, the system's voice sounded in Lu Changzhi's ear.
"The leader is back!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi sat up slightly from his recliner and asked:
"You brought back the sword spirit?"
As mentioned before, although it was to retrieve the sword for himself.
But it was previously mentioned that the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit be rewarded, so it must be for this reason.
As soon as Lu Changzhi finished speaking, the system voice sounded:
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained the following item: Dao-Severing Sword Spirit *1."
At that moment, Lu Changzhi focused his mind on the system.
With a thought, the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit was summoned before him.
At the same time, related information also appeared:
[Dao-Severing Sword Spirit]: A contract of servitude has been signed. The sword spirit within the Dao-Severing Sword was born during its growth alongside its master. Through extraordinary encounters, it gained sentience and the ability to cultivate. Skilled in swordsmanship, at its peak, it left a sword mark on the Heavenly Dao's true form. Although later injured, its power remains formidable.
"A sword spirit skilled in swordsmanship?"
Lu Changzhi briefly imagined what it would look like for Dao-Severing Sword to hold another sword.
Hmm, that's quite peculiar.
At this moment.
A faint light flickered on the Dao-Severing Sword in front of them.
Then, Lu Changzhi heard:
"Xiao Dao, greetings to the foreman."
"Foreman?"
Lu Changzhi was stunned. What surprised him even more than the fact that the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit could speak was this title:
Where did you learn that?
"One of your two servants from before," Dao-Severing Sword replied.
"System?"
Lu Changzhi, distracted, called out:
"Are you able to communicate with him?"
"Of course, Master," the system replied.
What Lu Changzhi thought of:
"That so-called 'contract of servitude,' you were the one who fooled me, weren't you?"
"No, Master," the system immediately replied.
"Our negotiations were friendly and voluntary."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi simply smiled.
Since that's the case, he already has a pretty good idea of what's going on.
After sensing the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit, Lu Changzhi had a general idea of what was going on.
Honestly, that's very strong.
He even had a feeling.
The Dao-Severing Sword Spirit is currently no weaker than Ancestor Lin of the Heaven-Piercing Sect, and may even be stronger.
"I never knew you, System, had such great abilities."
Lu Changzhi said softly:
I underestimated you.
"No!" the system quickly interjected upon hearing this.
"Master, please don't overestimate me. This journey has been incredibly tiring, and I desperately need rest."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi secretly shook his head.
This system is quite similar to that guy Mu Fan, always afraid of being coveted.
At this moment, seeing that Lu Changzhi remained silent, the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit spoke up:
"Foreman, is there anything I can do?"
Lu Changzhi shook his head:
"Just call me Young Master."
After a pause, Lu Changzhi asked curiously:
What's your current strength level?
"Young Master," the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit spoke up:
"My physical body has been destroyed. In my current sword spirit form, I can only unleash about 30% of my peak strength."
"Only 30%?"
Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised, and pondered for a moment:
"Then how can you unleash your peak strength?"
The Dao-Severing Sword suddenly fell silent, then its voice sounded somewhat forlorn:
"His peak strength was only ever unleashed in the hands of the Xiao Dao master."
"Your master?" Lu Changzhi pressed.
"Yes," the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit responded, then said:
But he has been dead for many years.
"Why?" Lu Changzhi continued to ask.
Logically speaking, the owner of this Dao-Severing Sword Spirit, who was able to leave a sword mark on the Heavenly Dao itself with the Dao-Severing Sword, must have been quite powerful.
Dao-Severing Sword's tone, it was clearly not a normal situation, such as his lifespan being exhausted.
Sure enough, after Lu Changzhi finished asking, he heard the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit say:
"Back then, my master fought against the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao was ultimately too strong, and my master's strength was no match for it. He was killed by the Heavenly Dao."
Although the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit had no face, Lu Changzhi could still clearly sense that the Dao-Severing Sword's mood had clearly become somewhat depressed.
"I once saw a saying: 'A swordsman's life is defined by the sword; when the sword dies, the sword dies.' But now..."
The Dao-Severing Sword Spirit did not continue speaking.
Lu Changzhi had a rough idea of what was going on.
If the master of the sword perished in the Heavenly Dao, the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit the Dao-Slaying Sword should not have been able to remain.
It's highly likely that the owner of the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit did not choose to sacrifice the Dao-Severing Sword.
It's even possible that they actively protected the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit.
However, he did not inquire about verification.
This is somewhat like rubbing salt into a wound.
"System."
Lu Changzhi asked, his attention diverted:
"Is it possible for this Resurrection System to resurrect the master of the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit in the future?"
"If it's in the future, then that's fine, Master," the system said.
Lu Changzhi understood.
Lu Changzhi raised his hand and Dao-Severing Sword Spirit, saying:
"Don't worry, your master will definitely come back one day."
As soon as the words fell, the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit said:
"Yes, I believe you."
Lu Changzhi couldn't help but blink:
"Not surprised at all?"
Shaking his head slightly, Lu Changzhi thought of something and asked:
"What is your master's name?"
"Lu Jun." The Dao-Severing Sword Spirit Dao.
"Lu Jun." Lu Changzhi read the name aloud:
"They also have the surname Lu."
Without giving it much thought, Lu Changzhi refocused his attention on the matter at hand.
"Leaving aside restoring you to your peak condition, how can you possibly regain your strength now?"
The Dao-Severing Sword Spirit Dao responded:
"I am currently only in sword spirit form. If I could have a sword body, it should increase my strength somewhat."
The words had barely left his mouth.
What about this one?
Lu Changzhi's voice rang out, followed by a flash of light.
The Dao-Severing Sword appeared between the two.
"Wasn't it lost? How did it end up here!"
The voice was filled with disbelief.
Lu Changzhi shook his head, "I found it by chance."
The Dao-Severing Sword Spirit arrived before the Dao-Severing Sword, remained silent for a long time, and then swayed slightly:
"This is an old sword; I can no longer enter it, or I would only destroy it."
Lu Changzhi nodded:
"Then let's put aside the matter of your physical body for now. With only 30% of your current strength, do you think you can defeat the Saint Emperor?"
After he finished speaking, the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit fell silent for a moment.
After about two breaths, he spoke up and asked:
"How many Saint Emperor does the young master refer to at once?"
Lu Changzhi's Way:
"About three or four."
As soon as the words fell, the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit said:
"Although my Xiao Dao are not what they used to be, I can still handle the task if it's just for the Saint Emperor."
"Understood."
Lu Changzhi nodded:
"You should rest for now. I'll call you if needed."
After saying that, he mentally exited the system.
Then, he looked into the distance.
In the sky, the information about the Longevity Battlefield and the Unsealing Key still remained in the heavens.
"It seems we need to adjust our strategy."
As the saying goes, stealing is worse than robbing.
