Chapter 1228: Chapter 1227: Trial
"Is there any danger in here?" Bright Saintess said with a hint of unease.
Before Ling Feng could answer, a Sword Intent shot out instantly, rushing towards the Bright Saintess.
"Saintess, watch out!" The Knight of Light beside the Bright Saintess immediately stepped in front of her.
With a slight sound, that Knight of Light, who was within the Demi-God Domain, surprisingly trembled and fell.
The Bright Saintess was startled, her face turned somewhat pale.
"Get out!" A deep voice came from the depths of the Sword Tomb: "Inside the Sword Tomb, anyone who speaks disrespectfully shall be killed!"
Ling Feng understood; this was a minor warning from the Xuanyuan Sword to the Bright Saintess! Within the Sword Tomb, the Xuanyuan Sword is the king here. If it wanted to kill them, it would be effortless, why would it need traps or dangers?
Xuanyuan Xia sighed: "After all these years, the temper of the Xuanyuan Sword is still as fierce as ever! Bright Saintess, I think you should temporarily leave the Sword Tomb; you should have seen that the Xuanyuan Sword doesnât like you!"
The Bright Saintessâs face looked somewhat displeased, but she wasnât one to be unreasonable. She understood well enough that she couldnât avenge her subordinate.
She bit her lip and then said, "Letâs go!"
Mona Lisa shrugged and said, "Tama, letâs go too. I think if we stay here, we might cause trouble for Ling Feng."
Watching the disappearing backs of the Bright Saintess and her group, Xuanyuan Xia nodded: "A wise choice!"
Ling Feng curiously asked, "Senior Sister, what did you mean by your earlier words? Is the Xuanyuan Swordâs temper really that bad?"
Since Mona Lisa and Tama had also left with the Bright Saintess, there was only Ling Feng and Xuanyuan Xia left. So Ling Feng asked directly.
"Talking about the Xuanyuan Sword is a long story!" Xuanyuan Xia said with a smile: "Back in the day, my father obtained a piece of Meteorite Iron from Beyond the Heavens. With a great effort, he finally forged this piece into an astonishing Divine Sword, which is the Xuanyuan Sword! Of course, when it was first forged, the Xuanyuan Sword didnât have much spiritual intelligence, it was..."
"Hmph, itâs you, little girl!" At this moment, the Xuanyuan Sword interrupted Xuanyuan Xia, speaking gruffly: "After so long, youâre still like this, not having grown at all. Donât you think maintaining this girlish appearance at your age is quite stomach-churning?"
Xuanyuan Xiaâs face instantly turned cold!
Although what Xuanyuan Sword said wasnât wrong, Xuanyuan Xia indeed had lived for thousands of years, but for a woman, who wouldnât want to maintain her most beautiful self? Who wouldnât dislike someone bringing up their age?
Thus, those words from the Xuanyuan Sword completely touched Xuanyuan Xiaâs reverse scale.
"Hmph, to make you nauseous, you first need to have a stomach!" Xuanyuan Xia said with a cold smile: "Besides, whatâs wrong with me being naturally beautiful? If you canât stand it, you can just not look!"
Ling Feng felt a bit embarrassed, it seemed the usually composed Senior Sister also had such an explosive side!
"I donât have time to bicker with you!" the Xuanyuan Sword said lazily: "That pretty boy beside you is the successor of Xuanyuan, isnât he? I sensed Xuanyuanâs power from him, let him come in. Coincidentally, some descendants of old acquaintances have come, I need to consider carefully who to choose as my master!"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment. Besides himself, had others entered the Sword Tomb? Who could they be?
"But... you should leave now!" As soon as the voice fell, a gentle Sword Qi came, directly pushing Xuanyuan Xia out.
"Ah, you wait for me!" Xuanyuan Xia shouted in discontent as she was flung out by the Xuanyuan Sword.
Ling Feng was somewhat dumbfounded. What kind of script was this. Xuanyuan Xia and the Xuanyuan Sword shouldnât they be old friends reunited with tears in their eyes? Whatâs this love-hate relationship about?
"Come in, but let me warn you, donât expect Iâll accept you as my master just because youâre the Xuanyuan successor!" the Xuanyuan Sword said calmly, "If you canât pass my trials, Iâll only have to kick you out and choose someone else to be my master!"
Ling Feng didnât say a word, taking a deep breath, he walked with firm steps towards the depths of the Sword Tomb.
After passing through two doors, Ling Feng finally arrived at the center of the Sword Tomb, and to his surprise, he saw an unexpected person!
"Is it you?" Ling Feng and Daphne couldnât help but exclaim at the same time.
A look of excitement appeared on Daphneâs face. She hadnât expected to encounter Ling Feng here; was this serendipity bringing them together from thousands of miles away?
"Ling Feng, I never expected to see you here!" Daphne said softly: "You... are you alright now?"
Ling Feng replied nonchalantly, "Not bad, Iâve got a car, a house, and a wifeâjust the life Iâve always dreamed of."
"Thatâs good then!" Daphne said, seeing Ling Fengâs indifference, a hint of dejection flashed in her eyes: "Ling Feng, I... I want to tell you..."
"Who are you!" At this moment, Ling Feng turned his gaze to the masked girl: "I feel like I know you!"
"She is..." Daphne was just about to say something, but the masked girl interrupted her: "Could it be that the famous Ling Feng also uses such an antiquated excuse to strike up a conversation with a girl?"
Hearing the teasing tone in the girlâs voice, Ling Feng couldnât help but frown. This masked girl had a faint energy about her, a power that blocked his probing, but Ling Feng truly felt like he knew this girl, and that they should be quite familiar!
"Everyoneâs here, letâs begin my trial now!" Suddenly, the voice of Xuanyuan Sword seemed to come from the void.
Daphne and the others were a bit surprised; it was clear they hadnât known that the Xuanyuan Sword could speak!
With a flash of white light, before the four could react, they found themselves standing on a desolate battlefield.
The battlefield was soaked in blood, filled with cries of anguish, with Broken Swords and blades scattered all around.
"This...such a realistic battlefield!" Daphne muttered to herself.
"What are you four standing there for!" This time a tall warrior came over: "Iâve been looking for you for a long time, come on, you four rookies must be scared stiff, but no worries, everyone has a first time, youâll get used to such scenes over time!"
At this point, the four of them noticed they were wearing simple armor, and it seemed that the warrior hadnât noticed the differences among them.
"Seems like this is our first trial." Ling Feng murmured: "But, what exactly is the content of this trial?"
