Chapter 244: 244. [Those without a Sword Heart, are not worthy to draw a sword]

Translator: 549690339

A total of seventeen Sword Cultivators attacked Lu Xun.

Among them, nine advanced with swords, lunging towards him, while the other eight employed the Art of Flying Sword, standing in the distance and launching their swords towards Lu Xun.

Without exception, regardless of whose sword or from which direction it came, they all stopped at the same time!

The scene seemed to freeze!

However, from the veins bulging on some of the Sword Cultivators and their facial expressions strained with all-out effort, it was clear that this was not a static scene.

Lu Xun stood in the center of the arena with a Sword Sheath in his hand, held behind his back,

He didn’t intend to use the Sword Sheath. The Sword Sheath was his arsenal, housing countless Sword Qi. If he used it, he was afraid it would frighten them, leaving lingering fears afterwards.

The small sword within Lu Xun’s Sword Heart was particularly excited, emitting sounds of sword hums that were not audible to most people.

Among those present, there were Great Cultivators, and the guests from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain were all Seventh Order Sword Cultivators.

Yet, not even they could sense the small sword within Lu Xun’s Sword Heart, let alone hear its humming.

The only exception was Lin Chan, who was sitting next to Mao Nanbei. She slightly opened her small mouth.

In her mind, she chanted, “Lin Chan, you damned spirit! You’re thinking about that matter again! The master is a human, not a sword, the master is a human, not a sword, the master is a human, not a sword….”

Lin Chan could hear the sword hums emanating from Lu Xun’s body very clearly!

It was not just about hearing it clearly. The more the small sword inside Lu Xun’s Sword Heart displayed its prowess, the stronger the urge Lin Chan had to grasp her master and wield him like a sword!

“Oh, you damned spirit! Oh, you damned spirit! Oh, you damned spirit! Oh, you damned spirit!” Little Chan was lost in cursing herself for the moment.

The entire scene erupted with gasps of surprise from the moment the seventeen swords halted.

Because the scene did indeed look extraordinarily shocking.

The swords in the hands of the individuals could no longer advance, and the flying swords in the air had come to a stop too.

Not to mention getting within three feet of Lu Xun, they were far away from him now!

“How was this possible?” This thought sprang from many people’s minds.

Zhao Suihan watched all this, appreciating Lu Xun more and more, finding him more and more appealing with each passing moment.

Yan Li’s Little Junior Brother was really commendable.

However… Yan Li was also a Natural Sword Embryo, but it seemed like he didn’t know how to employ this technique.

Could it be… Natural Sword Embryos come in all sorts?

This possibility didn’t seem too strange, after all, this was the most mysterious talent in Sword Cultivation.

Xiao Ran, sitting beside her, watched with bright eyes.

The current scene had undoubtedly attracted her attention.

Xiao Ran was warlike and admired strong players.

Lu Xun’s current performance undoubtedly stunned Xiao Ran!

She felt if she were on the stage, she could also beat these people. Even if they attacked together, they would absolutely not be able to defeat her double axes.

But to appear as relaxed and carefree as Lu Xun, who with a mere gaze made them unable to advance even an inch, Xiao Ran had to admit she was not there yet.

It made her hands and heart itch.

In fact, forget about them, even the two Elders of the One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain were somewhat perplexed at the moment.

These two Elders were also present on the scene during the three sword challenge matches back at the day, and they had personally witnessed Lu Xun suppressing Ye Sui’an.

That day, at the beginning of the match, Ye Sui’an could hardly even draw the “Moon Emperor” from his Sword Sheath!

After returning to his sect, Ye Sui’an had shared his thoughts about that sword challenge.

He said, “If there’s no Sword Heart in someone of the same Order, then they are not worthy of unsheathing their sword in front of Elder Lu.”

It meant that if you didn’t even have a Sword Heart, one thought from Lu Xun can stop you to even being able to unsheathe your sword!

Among these seventeen individuals, almost none had achieved the Sword Heart. They were able to unsheathe their swords mainly because their strength was in numbers.

If it was a one-on-one situation…

Non-Swordbearers, unworthy of unsheathing a sword!

It appeared as though Lu Xun possessed a mysterious power. He could remotely control others’ swords and suppress them.

“Could this be… the Natural Sword Embryo!?” Even the two major Sword Cultivation holy lands, neither of which had a Natural Sword Embryo, were at a loss for words.

Although the founding master of Sword Mountain was a Natural Sword Embryo, it’s been too long since his time, and there’s no record of his state when cultivating at entry-level.

The ones who felt the most direct impact of this were these seventeen Sword Cultivators.

This is my goddamn sword! Why wouldn’t it listen to me?

It’s gone green, it must be green!

This scene was captured by several Demon Sect players and promptly posted on the forum.

Before the public test, many had seen videos of Purple Palace taking action on the forum, but after its onset, no such videos had been seen.

On the day of the battle at Tianque Gate, Lu Xun only descended from the sky to save the life of Tianque Gate’s founder.

But looking at his performance today, he certainly made a powerful impression when he decided to act!

And yet, what shocked them even more came after.

Lu Xun was standing in the center of the arena — he hadn’t moved from the start.

At this moment, he took one step forward.

The moment his right foot hit the ground, the flying swords in the sky and sword cultivators with swords all moved back by a foot.

As he continued forward, seventeen swords moved back!

Atop Yanwu Peak, a timely gust of wind blew, lifting his black robe and hair.

From the start, Lu Xun’s expression remained calm, lacking the usual sharp intent seen in most Sword Cultivators.

His restraint did not mean he lacked an edge.

Honestly, among these individuals, regardless of their motives, Lu Xun only found the Marquis who claimed to be the Sword Pond Successor to be tolerable.

As for the rest, he didn’t particularly like them.

If they were genuinely seeking knowledge and devoted to the Dao, yet they were scared off by an Outer Sect Disciple, then clearly their resolve was lacking.

And if they were just here to steal some limelight or make a name for themselves, then Lu Xun would meet them with a warm smile before publicly humiliating them.

He took three steps in succession.

The floating swords in the sky moved back three feet.

The Sword Cultivators wielding swords all took three steps back.

Lu Xun was a Non-Swordbearer, and it seemed like there was a No Sword Domain around him.

Sword Cultivators were the mainstream among cultivators.

And he, he was the bane of Sword Cultivators!

At the scene, every action taken by Lu Xun undoubtedly set a good example for the Outer Sect disciples and gamers of the Demon Sect.

They only felt their blood boil!

It’s just about Reputation Value, right? Take it! Take it all!

Lu Xun’s Reputation Value began to skyrocket.

Regrettably, gamers couldn’t provide Reputation Value. Otherwise, Lu Xun’s Reputation Value would surge so much that he could hardly handle it.

He was currently controlling the little sword in his Sword Heart and had no time to check the forum. Yet, the video on the forum instantly attracted a huge wave of attention, reigniting the excitement on the forum!

“What exactly is Purple Palace’s plan? It made the hairs on my bald head tingle!”

“Damn, is this what they call a Natural Sword Embryo? Will I become a Natural Sword Embryo later in the game?”

“The guy above, feel free to open your mouth and drink urine. I don’t believe I can’t wake you up!”

“Ah, I really want to be there, I want to join the Demon Sect, I want to betray my Sect. Is there hope for me?”

The heat on the forum continued to rise, and Lu Xun felt he had had enough fun.

He raised his left hand and with a casual swipe, a flying sword was sent flying out.

Every time his fingertip moved in the air, a flying sword would be out of control, spinning in the air, then falling to the ground and getting stuck in the mud.

After dealing with all the flying swords, Lu Xun pointed gently at the Sword Cultivators holding swords, and their swords flew out of their hands.

The only person still holding a sword on the field was the Marquis of Sword Pond.

Lu Xun initially intended to knock down his sword last, but after knocking off sixteen, he was shocked to find that the Marquis had managed to move forward four steps during the process.

At that moment, he was still pressing on with difficulty.

Lu Xun glanced at him and immediately realized how he had achieved it.

“So that’s how it is. Very interesting,” he thought to himself.
