Peerless War God

The servant took small steps and entered the main hall from the side door.    

Chen Xiao turned his head and saw an old man following behind the servant. The sword intent on his body was oppressive, like a treasured sword that had been sheathed. Although the aura emitted a trace, it was still shocking enough.    

The old man was holding a long, square green box, and was using his sword intent to nurture the sword in the box. His expression was a little tired, but his eyes were wide open and full of spirit.    

"Using the sword intent of a human to nurture a sword is really a waste of effort. As expected of the Unparalleled Dynasty, they can really do such a thing. Over time, the nurturing of the sword will be useless, and the person will die from exhaustion. This is really ruthless. This is the first time I've seen such a method."    

Chen Xiao thought.    

The old man came to the throne and bowed. "Your Majesty, I have not failed you. The treasured sword is still in good condition, and the sword intent is still there."    

If the treasured sword was not used for a long time and was not used by others, it would be covered in dust. At that time, its power would be lost. If one wanted to sharpen it again, it would take a lot of effort.    

Now that there was a nurturing sword, it was not a worry.    

The Divine Emperor squeezed out a smile and said, "Elder Chai, you've worked hard. After today, Elder Chai can return to his old age after receiving the sword."    

Hearing that, the old man trembled all over. His expression was excited as he shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty. May I ask, who is the person who received the sword?"    

The old man's tone was slightly trembling, and his expression was complicated. He also felt a sense of relief.    

The Divine Emperor raised his wrist and casually pointed, "He."    

Chen Xiao smiled at the old man and greeted him.    

The old man directly ignored the Third Prince and looked at Chen Xiao, "Are you a sword cultivator?"    

"Yes, I am." Chen Xiao replied with a smile.    

The old man's Spiritual Sense condensed and spread out. After a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "But why can't I sense any sword intent from your body?"    

Chen Xiao smiled, "Heh, sword cultivators know how to hide their sword intent. Only then can they use their sword to kill people thousands of miles away."    

Hearing that, the old man looked deeply at Chen Xiao and agreed, "I have learned a lot. Please."    

As he spoke, he handed the treasure box to Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao took the treasure box, but he saw that there was an inscription seal on the treasure box that could not be easily opened. He looked at the old man in puzzlement.    

"This is a seal specially set up to seal the sharpness of the Cheng Ying Sword. You only need to use your own sword intent to activate the Cheng Ying Sword and resonate with it, then you can open the seal."    

The old man said slowly.    

"Oh, how interesting. Then let's try."    

As he spoke, a sharp sword intent erupted from Chen Xiao's body and surged into the sword box in his hand. With a whoosh, a green phantom flew out of the sword box and landed in Chen Xiao's hand.    

The sword was azure in color, as clear as jade. Countless complicated runes were engraved on it, making it look extremely mystical. It was as light as a piece of paper, but it was extremely sharp. It could cut through space with a casual wave.    

Chen Xiao held his sword, and his eyes lit up. After carefully sensing the sword, he immediately felt that this sword was extraordinary.    

"This is a Xuan Tian Spirit Treasure with the wind attribute. It actually contains a trace of the Concept of Space, and it is incomparably compatible with your divine ability. Tsk tsk, I never thought that you would encounter such a treasure sword. You are really lucky."    

In his soul sea, Xilo said sourly.    

Chen Xiao laughed, not knowing what Xilo was thinking. However, he did not care.    

"Haha, good, good sword."    

With a thought, the Cheng Ying Sword flew out, drawing an arc in the air. It was as fast as a ghost, and it was hard to notice with the naked eye. Its speed was not inferior to teleportation, and it was as fast as the wind.    

"Protect, quickly protect."    

"Protect His Majesty, protect His Majesty."    

When the guards in the hall saw this, their expressions changed drastically, and they panicked. They all shouted and surrounded the Divine Emperor, protecting him like a turtle shell.    

Even the Third Prince had a shocked expression. "What a fast sword. Even my divine sense can't keep up with it. Tsk, it's too terrifying. It is worthy of being a Xuan Tian Spirit Treasure. I suddenly regret it a little."    

"..." The old man had a shocked expression, and his mouth was wide open for a long time.    

The Divine Emperor was a little angry and a little helpless. He shouted and pushed away the guards in front of him, "Scram, don't block me. What is the point of being so surprised? Could it be that Chen Xiao will assassinate me?"    

"This..."    

"Your Majesty, please think twice."    

The guards stood in front of him, not daring to relax at all. They were afraid that something would go wrong and they would die for it.    

Finally, the Divine Emperor became angry and almost roared, "Get lost, or I'll kill all three of you."    

The guards looked at each other and slowly retreated.    

At this time, Chen Xiao had already put away his sword. He chuckled and said, "Thank you for the sword, Your Majesty. It is indeed a good sword."    

The Divine Emperor had a complicated expression. He glanced at Chen Xiao, then glanced at the Third Prince and said in a deep voice, "I hope you can keep your promise."    

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am the most trustworthy person," Chen Xiao said.    

"I hope so. You can leave now. I'm tired," the Divine Emperor waved his hand and said.    

"Father, your son will take his leave," the Third Prince said.    

The old man who was raising the sword also silently retreated.    

Chen Xiao paused for a moment and asked, "May I ask when the Unparalleled Secret Realm will open? What are the dangers inside? Your Majesty, you should tell me a little."    

"I don't know."    

The Divine Emperor turned around and casually said. However, he saw the corner of his mouth curled up, revealing a sly smile. Heh, this time, he had to win against him again. Let's see if he can control you.    

"Eh..." Chen Xiao was speechless for a moment. He could only watch as the Divine Emperor left.    

This old fellow, could it be that he did it on purpose? He silently cursed in his heart.    

When the Third Prince saw the Divine Emperor leave, he trembled and stood up. When he saw that Chen Xiao's expression was strange, he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"    

"It's nothing. Let's go. You must have been acting really uncomfortable just now."    

Chen Xiao stood beside the Third Prince and said in a low voice.    

The Third Prince's heart skipped a beat. He smiled bitterly and said, "As expected of an expert of Immortality, even this can't be hidden from you. Sigh, this is completely over. You have completely grasped me."    

Chen Xiao chuckled lightly and did not think much of it. He strode out of the hall.    

This trip could be said to have been fruitful, especially this Shadow Bearing Sword. To him, it was simply like adding wings to a tiger. It was even better than Gu Feng's Shadow Pursuing Blade, and its power was even greater. When he attacked, it was even more strange and difficult to block.    

"I still have to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get this Shadow Bearing Sword so easily. As expected of His Majesty the Divine Emperor, he is so generous. If I didn't bring you out of the secret realm alive, I would feel bad."    

Chen Xiao said.    

The Third Prince's eyes turned to the side. "You just feel bad?"    

Chen Xiao tilted his head and glanced at him. "What else?"    

"..."    

The Third Prince's eyes turned black, and his heart became even more bitter. This guy's personality was really hard to understand. Even he could not completely guess it. He could only take it one step at a time.
