Chapter 186

“I will always remember!”

Xitan Changshi cupped his fist and replied reverently .

He had loyally accompanied the Emperor Yan of Zhou for thousands of years and without complaint .

The Emperor sighed . “We have nothing that we cannot let go of in this world already . When Great Zhou is stabilized, you should ascend too . We will wait for you in the Upper Realm . ”

Xitan Changshi looked up at him with a conflicted expression .

The Emperor and his general looked at each other, and they understood each other without speaking a word .

…

The winter snow danced in the air and laid a silver armor on the vast forest, which gave it a melancholic beauty .

Beside the lake, Jiang Xue, Huang Lianxin, Xiao Jinghong, and the others stood in a line and enjoyed the snowy vista before them . They could not help but sigh in amazement .

”Another year of snow . ”

”Unknowingly, Xuanji is already 21 . ”

”We passed another year peacefully . ”

”Hahaha, we might find some great treasure on this snowy day . ”

”Two years to the ascension of Great Zhou’s Emperor… Make a guess, do you think our master will go?”

The group talked heartily, but behind them, Zhou Xuanji was still lying in the great cauldron .

At this moment, Zhou Xuanji’s skin was alternating between gold and silver . Piping hot steam was coming out from his skin, which stopped the snow from landing on his body .

Daoya Old Man stood before the cauldron and was playing with the Three-eyed Drought Rodent with his hand .

”What kind of technique is this brat cultivating? Still not breaking through after absorbing so many herbs and medicines?”

He mumbled curiously .

There were too many mysteries that Zhou Xuanji wanted to know .

But this brat just wouldn’t say . Even Jiang Xue did not know much about him, which made his heart feel like it was being clawed by a cat .

It had been more than half a month since Zhou Xuanji entered the cauldron, and he was still not finished .

And so, another three days passed .

Zhou Xuanji finally reached the point of breaking through .

Flesh Sword was used to forge one’s flesh into the sword!

He formed a circle with his arms while the Tianxia Map was faintly visible on his palm . Spiritual Qi from his surroundings gathered around him and formed into an enormous vortex in the air above him .

”The flesh is the sword… The heart is like the sword . The eyes are the sword, the hair is like the sword…”

Zhou Xuanji mumbled to himself as his sword Qi surged all across his body . Using modern-day biological terms, he would have mastered the Flesh Sword when his sword Qi transformed into cells .

Once he accomplished it, all parts of his body could become a fearsome sword .

”A little more!”

Zhou Xuanji gritted his teeth and roared .

Boooom!

The Spiritual Qi flooded into his body forcefully and caused the entire cauldron to shake violently .

Everyone turned around and was excited by what they saw .

”Our master is going to succeed?”

Huang Lianxin cried out in surprise . They walked over immediately .

”Hold on! Stay away from him!”

Daoya Old Man raised his hand and cried out, looking anxious .

The group heard and immediately stopped .

Shwoooosh! Shwoooosh! Shwoooosh…

Strands of sword Qi flew out from the great cauldron and soared toward the sky like fireworks . It was impressive .

”Such powerful sword Qi…”

Zhao Congjian cried out in amazement . Admiration was all over his face .

Boooom!

The great cauldron exploded and all the medicinal water splattered everywhere .

Zhou Xuanji flew up, beaming with gold and silver radiance . His sword Qi surrounded his body like a tornado .

”My children, look carefully . I will let you witness today what ‘man is the sword, the sword is man’ means . I’m going to become a sword!”

Zhou Xuanji smiled and said . Silver light beamed out from his eyes and his entire body seemed like it would disappear any moment .

After he spoke, he soared into the sky .

The silver light enveloped his body, which turned into a silver stream that flew across the sky swiftly . The falling snow was circling in the air as he shot past them, generating strong gale winds .

Everyone looked up and was nervously anticipating .

After the silver light dispersed, Zhou Xuanji disappeared . Instead, they could only see a long silver sword .

The blade was snow-white, and there were many patterns carved onto it . There were dragon scales, flames, ghosts, falcon, and so on . The two ends of the quillon were two dragon heads, while the end of the hilt was an emperor’s crown . The entire sword looked magnificent and was obviously a legendary sword .

The long sword circled in the air and made everyone’s jaws drop .

Zhou Xuanji really became a sword?

Shwoooosh!

The long sword swooped down and immediately transformed into Zhou Xuanji, who landed before them .

Sword Qi Golden Body Incantation Level Five, Flesh Sword, Accomplished!

Zhou Xuanji sensed the surging power in his body and could not help but roar loudly .

His physical strength increased tremendously as well . It could no longer be measured by human standards .

The Sword Qi Golden Body Incantation was a physical cultivation technique after all .

He turned to look at Chongming Demon Monarch and smiled, “Come, punch against my punch!”

Chongming Demon Monarch was a Seventh Rank demon and a bull demon, so he had great physical strength .

”Full strength, or?”

Chongming Demon Monarch asked with a raised brow . Naturally, he did not want to be beaten up .

Zhou Xuanji nodded and said, “Full strength!”

After hearing this, he immediately became excited .

Finally, an opportunity to teach Zhou Xuanji a lesson!

”Deal . You can only use your physical strength and not spirit energy or sword!”

Chongming Demon Monarch walked to a nearby place and said .

Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, and the others looked at him with despise, which he pretended not to see .

Zhou Xuanji walked toward him and smiled, “I always act on my words . If we are competing for physical strength, then I will just use physical strength . ”

The human and demon faced each other and were 10 meters apart . No one stood behind them .

Chongming Demon Monarch was tall and muscular . His bull horns pointed to the sky, and he revealed his intimidating aura totally .

He slapped his chest and said proudly, “My iron fists have beaten everyone in Great Shang!”

Today, he would let Zhou Xuanji witness his power .

”How was it compared to Great Shang’s Fury Buddha?”

Zhou Xuanji asked playfully, which made Chongming Demon Monarch’s proudful expression crumble immediately .

”Okay, I’m going to punch . ”

Zhou Xuanji walked forward . Chongming Demon Monarch charged toward him .

10 meters was such a short distance for them!

They came up to each other with just one step, and they punched at almost the same time .

The powerful gust blew against everyone’s faces and made them hurt . With a loud thump, Zhou Xuanji and Chongming Demon Monarch’s fists clashed together .

The White Dragon Golden Robe danced loudly in the wind as Zhou Xuanji’s feet sunk into the snow . Chongming Demon Monarch’s feet sunk too .

Both slid backward .

”Not bad . Very strong!”

Chongming Demon Monarch praised, but in his heart, he was shocked .

Oh my!

How is he so strong?

Zhou Xuanji smiled and said, “Take another punch!”

After that, he swung his left arm .

Chongming Demon Monarch reacted quickly as well and threw his punch .

Baaam!

Chongming Demon Monarch was sent flying out straight away . His massive body glided backward dozens of meters before landing .

After he landed, he continued to slide for almost 10 meters, leaving two long trenches in the snow .

His left arm was shivering as he looked up at Zhou Xuanji in fear .

”How can it be…”

Chongming Demon Monarch swallowed his saliva and mumbled to himself .

The others were stunned as well .

Just with physical strength alone, Zhou Xuanji had already surpassed a Seventh Rank demon?

Moreover, a bull demon!

Zhou Xuanji shook his numb left hand and smiled, “You are doing well in your training recently . From tomorrow onwards, you must increase the intensity of your training . ”

After hearing this, Chongming Demon Monarch immediately became anxious, “I’m going through enough hardships . I cannot increase anymore . ”

With his sluggish nature, the current training was far more than what he used to do .

Zhou Xuanji walked up to Jiang Xue and asked boastfully, “Is the sword I transformed into handsome?”
