Chapter 437: 437,【The World’s First】
The High Priest’s two avatars arrived at the scene, treating Lu Xun as an esteemed guest.

“Who would have thought that they would regard me so highly?” Lu Xun’s lips curled into a faint smirk.

Gu Xiaoman’s figure soared back and it took a while for her to stabilize her posture.

At the moment, a few strands of her black hair were scattered on her cool cheeks, adding a hint of soft beauty.

The Second Sister moved in a flash and returned to the front of the paper crane, shielding both Mao Nanbei and Lu Xun behind her.

She was confident in taking on one avatar, but dealing with two avatars, was a completely different concept.

This isn’t as simple as adding one to one to get two. At their level, they could execute all sorts of mysteriously powerful moves. What was even more terrifying was that the surrounding large array was still operating, and the nearby scent of blood was growing stronger!

If you looked down, you would see that the vegetation in the Lost Forest was slowly withering.

In a few miles radius, a vast amount of vegetation had wilted to death, and the animals within the dense forest turned into specks of red light, absorbed by the array!

This meant that their power would increase as they fought!

The High Priest’s two avatars stood side by side, one on the left and one on the right. They looked identical, only distinguished by their hats, one wore lower and the other a little crooked.

A weighty pressure enveloped the surroundings from them. Lu Xun clenched the sword sheath in his hand, recalling scenes from his previous life.

The sand sculpture players had nicknamed the High Priest “Big-Headed Son,” yet when they faced him in battle, they were terrified.

They were always slaughtered by the High Priest. While shouting for resurrection, they shamelessly cried out:

“Daddy was wrong!”

“Stop hitting! Daddy knows his mistake!”

“They say raising kids is for old age support, what support, this? We’d better use sunscreens!”

The players had one attitude: I may die today, but I’m still your daddy!

The old Lu Xun could have enjoyed this, at most he would lose some Experience Points. Killing a few members of the foreign race would bring these back instantly.

But now it was different. Now he could really die!

And he knew very well that the High Priest’s target was neither Mao Nanbei nor Second Sister. He was the target of the High Priest!

Gu Xiaoman, when faced with the two avatars, did not show even a hint of retreat. Her slightly slender form stood steadfast, blocking Lu Xun.

The two avatars darted forward. Second Sister raised her wooden sword and slashed at the avatar on the right, completely ignoring the one on the left.

The next moment, a hum of sword echoed. “The Sword Qi is Near,” floating beside Lu Xun, moved.

Initially, when there was only one avatar, it had no need to make a move. But now, it had the chance to exercise its power.

The domineering Sword Qi rushed forward, directly slicing the avatar on the left.

Gu Xiaoman raised her left hand, gesturing it forward, and then said, “Come… come here.”

“The Sword Qi is Near” flew through the air and landed in Gu Xiaoman’s hand in an instant.

From this moment on, the slim Taoist nun held two swords, floating in front of the paper crane, calmly staring at the High Priest’s two avatars.

“Hiss-! Is ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ actually willing to be controlled by the Second Sister?” Lu Xun thought in surprise.

He thought that apart from Senior Yanli and the master, no one else in the world could possibly wield “The Sword Qi is Near.”

This sword was just too proud, and it was unwilling to let others command it.

But Gu Xiaoman was an exception.

Naturally, Lu Xun didn’t know that when the Second Sister was first accepted as an apprentice by the master, she was just a little Taoist nun.

At that time, she was only ten years old, not much taller than Mao Nanbei.

Wearing an oversized Daoist robe, the little girl already had a cold aura, giving off a keep-your-distance vibe at such a young age.

Senior Yanli, on the other hand, was already a powerful Sword Cultivator who was renowned.

Gu Xiaoman’s Sword Dao was initially instructed by Senior Yanli.

Just like when Lu Xun first joined, his Sword Dao was taught by the Second Sister.

And “The Sword Qi is Near” in Yan Li’s hand naturally caught her attention the first time.

When she was just an ordinary little Taoist nun, Yan Li had once lifted “The Sword Qi is Near” with a smile and asked her, “Want to try it?”

Gu Xiaoman nodded, not denying it.

– She wanted to try a real sword.

Of course, it was more out of the curiosity of a little girl.

Throughout the Second Sister’s childhood, she only had one toy.

This toy is the legendary Sword of the Ages, the “Sword Qi is Near”!

…

…

Once the “Sword Qi is Near” flew into Gu Xiaoman’s hand, the sword’s aura underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

After all, a sword is a sword.

It’s a tool that requires someone to wield it in order to display its true power!

The “Sword Qi is Near” held by a sword cultivator is vastly different from the “Sword Qi is Near” without a wielder.

Lu Xun, of course, understands this principle. At the same time, he thought further than this, suddenly realizing that his body refining sword had already become a superior spirit sword.

Similarly, if there was a sword cultivator to wield him… the prospect was so enchanting that he dared not linger on it for too long.

At this moment, holding the “Sword Qi is Near,” Second Sister whipped it upward, creating a surge of sword qi.

The sword qi tore through the bloody array, splitting it into two in an instant.

The red light began to scatter, turning into specks of light.

The thick smell of blood dispersed in the wind, and the blood moons in the eyes of the two avatars disappeared.

With just one casual slice, she broke through the High Priest’s arrangement here.

Now, Senior Yan Li is in seclusion.

Therefore, Gu Xiaoman, holding the “Sword Qi is Near,” is the world’s best in the way of the sword!

The High Priest sensed the change of the situation right away. But at the same time, he also recognized the immense cost Gu Xiaoman was paying by wielding the two swords.

Although the “Sword Qi is Near” was her childhood toy, it was the “Sword Qi is Near” that played with her like a nanny, not the other way around.

This, after all, is the legendary Sword of the Ages. Gu Xiaoman, at her current level, can activate it, but she can’t use it indefinitely.

Moreover…the sword of others will always be the sword of others.

And a strike like the one just now… she can’t execute it too many times.

This isn’t just apparent to the High Priest, even Lu Xun could see it.

“I would like to see, how many times can you unleash such sword qi!” The High Priest’s two avatars spoke in unison. Their voices overlapped, presenting a bizarre scene.

With her slender figure and twin swords in hand, the Taoist nun maintained her usual aloof calmness. Without uttering a word, her actions were making a statement – I have enough to kill you!

The terrifying sword qi originated from the “Sword Qi is Near.” The High Priest wanted to dodge it, but found that there was no way to escape!

The Second Sister possesses such magical ability. When she wields the “Sound of Slow Motion,” each of her swipes seems slow, but can’t be evaded.

Now she’s wielding the fastest “Sword Qi is Near,” making escape impossible.

“Swish―”

The right arm of the High Priest’s clone was destroyed in an instant, turning into a blue-black speck of light.

These two clones are similar to the Second Priest’s clone. Their bodies hold an outer layer and are filled with these light spots, much like they’ve been inflated.

The only difference is, the light spots in the Second Priest’s clone are dark red, while the High Priest’s are blue-black.

The blue-black specs of light were annihilated by the sword qi. The power of a single blow, irresistible!

The two avatars converged to unleash similar techniques, creating a complementary effect.

Two totems emerged, radiating an ancient aura.

Inside the totems were various grotesque beasts, from which emanated roars.

This was somewhat similar to the foreign races Lu Xun had encountered in the altar.

Gu Xiaoman, observing the two totems, raised the “Sword Qi is Near” and with a gentle swipe, unleashed another simple strike.

In an instant, the sword qi tore the totems apart, and flung both clones away together.

A large hole was directly blasted through the chest of the clone that had previously lost an arm, and the airflow even blew away the large felt hat.

Noting the hatless Second Priest, Lu Xun couldn’t help but purse his lips a bit.

“Indeed, no matter how youthful the exterior, it’s all in vain,” Lu Xun mused to himself.

Who could have guessed that beneath his oversized felt hat, the big-headed boy was sporting an immaculate bald haircut.

(ps: Recently, some authors have reported that a mysterious organization has emerged on the Boxnovel platform. They subscribe to other people’s books, earn monthly tickets, and then vote for a user called “Baby Yu.” Regardless of their gender, they all tenderly laugh, “Baby Yu, Mommy loves you!”

Sigh, why do I always become famous in such bizarre ways…)
