Chapitre 21: Chapter 21: When the Xuanyuan Sword is Drawn, Mountains and Rivers Shatter!
"This is a martial spirit?!"
Hu Liena was stunned, gazing up at the Xuanyuan Sword hovering in mid-air.
Su Yuntao had once told her that Zhou Chen's martial spirit was a mysterious golden humanoid figure.
But now, before her eyes was a golden, ancient sword!
Twin martial spirits!
Zhou Chen, like her teacher Bibi Dong, was an extremely rare twin martial spirit user!
No wonder his innate soul power was so strong!
Like Hu Liena, all the black-clad figures were equally dumbfounded.
As royal secret guards of the Xingluo Empire, they had carried out countless missions, becoming cold-hearted and steely.
Yet, faced with this radiant golden sword, they felt an inexplicable, overwhelming fear, like mice before a cat.
Some of the weaker-willed among them even began to retreat slowly!
Unbeknownst to them, their fear was entirely due to the sacred aura of the Xuanyuan Sword!
The sacred aura could deter all malevolent beings!
"Do not retreat!"
"Steady your minds; there's something strange about this sword!"
"Everyone, attack immediately! Don't be afraid; no matter how strong his martial spirit is, he's just a child!"
The leader of the black-clad figures shouted repeatedly, finally snapping the group out of their stupor, prompting them to attack Zhou Chen frantically!
The leader himself unleashed five soul skills in one go!
He had a premonition: if they didn't kill Zhou Chen with this strike, they would all perish here today!
"Boom boom boom—"
The overwhelming soul skill assaults bombarded the golden pillar of light protecting Zhou Chen and Hu Liena, causing it to waver precariously.
In the face of such a dire situation, Hu Liena's face turned pale, while Zhou Chen remained unmoved, even closing his eyes.
It wasn't that Zhou Chen was truly calm, nor was he preparing some secret move. He simply couldn't control the Xuanyuan Sword and was asking the system for help.
"System, why can't I use this sword?" Zhou Chen asked urgently, anxious at the situation.
"Ding... The Xuanyuan Sword is Emperor Huang's personal sword and can only be wielded by Emperor Huang."
"I understand."
Upon hearing the system's explanation, Zhou Chen immediately realized.
The system's message was clear: the Xuanyuan Sword was an auxiliary martial spirit to the Xuanyuan Emperor martial spirit, requiring the main martial spirit to unleash its true power!
Therefore, he needed to summon his Xuanyuan Emperor martial spirit to control the sword!
"Possession!"
Zhou Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and in the next instant, a giant golden figure towering several meters appeared behind him!
The giant wore a crown with twelve jade ornaments and a golden robe, surrounded by the ethereal images of mountains, rivers, vegetation, sun, moon, and stars!
"Buzz!"
As soon as the golden giant appeared, the Xuanyuan Sword emitted a joyful hum, and in the next second, the sacred sword shot forth, landing in Zhou Chen's hand!
"Crack—"
The moment Zhou Chen grasped the Xuanyuan Sword, golden lightning streaked across the sky, turning night into day!
The golden lightning seemed to be a signal; in the next moment, endless energy, like a surging river, converged toward the Xuanyuan Sword!
In an instant, the sword was imbued with immense energy!
Simultaneously, seven words flashed in Zhou Chen's mind.
These seven words represented the sword technique of Emperor Xuanyuan and the exclusive soul skill of the Xuanyuan Sword martial spirit!
"When the Xuanyuan Sword is drawn, mountains and rivers shatter!"
A dreamlike whisper sounded, and in the next moment, Zhou Chen raised the Xuanyuan Sword high and, with lightning speed, plunged it into the ground!
"Boom!!"
Instantly, the earth quaked violently, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outward from Zhou Chen, extending far and wide!
And this was just the beginning!
The next second, the Xuanyuan Sword erupted in a blinding golden light, which started as a point and then expanded into a massive sphere, akin to the sun, dimming the stars and moon!
In an instant, searing heat and light engulfed everything within a kilometer!
Soil vaporized, rocks melted, trees disintegrated—everything on the ground vanished, except for Hu Liena, whom Zhou Chen had the system protect.
Most of the black-clad figures were incinerated in the initial blast of heat and light, leaving only two Soul Kings above level 50 and the level 62 Soul Emperor leader struggling to hold on.
However, within seconds, the two Soul Kings were completely consumed, leaving not a trace. Witnessing this, the leader of the black-clad figures was terrified, forced to use his final trump card!
"Sixth Soul Skill—White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
The leader, his clothes incinerated and skin severely burned, reversed his fate when he unleashed his sixth soul skill!
His burned skin instantly healed, black stripes like tiger skin appearing. His body swelled, muscles bulging exaggeratedly, reaching nearly three meters in height!
Most peculiarly, he was enveloped in a layer of intense golden light, as if gilded!
"Boy, you think you can kill me? Dream on!"
Feeling rejuvenated, the leader, emboldened, believed he could counterattack and charged at Zhou Chen through the intense heat and light of the Xuanyuan Sword!
Unfortunately, three seconds later, he too was reduced to ashes.
The Xingluo Empire's royal secret guards were completely annihilated!
After an unknown period, the intense heat and light, along with the violent tremors of the earth, finally subsided.
The apocalyptic scene was finally revealed!
Within a kilometer, everything on the ground had been obliterated. The soil was scorched into glass-like crystals, and nearby rivers evaporated! The earth was completely shattered!
Hundred-meter-long, bottomless fissures were everywhere, with crimson magma columns surging from the heated depths!
Hu Liena stood dazed, lips quivering, unable to utter a word. Her gaze at Zhou Chen was filled with awe and shock.
"When the Xuanyuan Sword is drawn, mountains and rivers shatter."
Hu Liena whispered, repeating the seven words Zhou Chen had just spoken.
She had thought it was mere exaggeration, never imagining that the mountains and rivers would truly shatter!
