Chapter 4619
Captain Zhou was from the City Lord’s Mansion, yet Qiu Tu showed no hesitation in killing him. This act alone reveals that Qiu Tu is even more ruthless than Qiu Yu.
“Did you harm my brother?”
After slaying Captain Zhou, Qiu Tu turned to Kai with a cold glare and asked.
“Why don’t you guess?” Kai replied with a faint smile.
Although Qiu Tu was a fifth-grade Mahayana Realm cultivator, Kai showed no fear. Even if Qiu Tu proved formidable, Kai was confident in his ability to protect himself.
“Brother, it was him! He attacked me, took the beast pills from our people, and crippled my legs,” Qiu Yu cried bitterly. “You must avenge me… please!”
“Don’t worry,” Qiu Tu said, his voice icy. “He won’t leave here alive, and I’ll find a way to heal your broken legs.”
“Heal?”
Kai smirked. With a casual wave of his hand, a flash of white light turned Qiu Yu’s severed legs into powder.
“Now that they’ve turned to dust, I’d like to see how you plan to reconnect them,” Kai said mockingly.
“You…”
Qiu Tu hadn’t expected Kai to be so audacious. A mere Tribulation Realm cultivator, standing fearless before a fifth-grade Mahayana Realm—where did this confidence come from?
“Die!”
Qiu Tu roared in fury as the long sword on his back unsheathed itself. The blade released a sharp, surging energy, slicing through the sky and shaking the void with its sword intent.
“A spirit sword?” Kai remarked with mild surprise. “I didn’t expect you to wield one as well—especially one with a sword spirit!”
It is important to understand that it is incredibly difficult for a spirit sword to develop a sword spirit. Even when a sword spirit is present, awakening its consciousness is a complex process.
Without enlightenment, a sword spirit remains like a lifeless machine, devoid of emotion.
In contrast, Zhongli, the sword spirit of Kai’s Dragon Slaying Sword, is entirely different. He has transcended his spirit form, now possessing a complete mind and personality akin to a living being.
“I’m surprised you can recognize a spirit sword,” Qiu Tu remarked coldly. “Consider it an honor—you’ll die under my spirit sword today!”
The sword in Qiu Tu’s hand surged with powerful energy, its intent weaving through the air like an intricate net.
Kai’s eyes narrowed slightly as he raised the Dragon Slaying Sword. With a decisive swing, his sword unleashed a beam of light that tore through the void, colliding directly with Qiu Tu’s attack.
A deafening explosion echoed as the two beams clashed and dissipated simultaneously, leaving the void eerily still.
Kai felt a faint numbness in his palm, but his composure remained unshaken. Across from him, Qiu Tu stared wide-eyed, disbelief etched across his face.
He hadn’t anticipated that Kai could withstand his assault, let alone match it.
His shock deepened as he thought, The sword in my hand is a spirit sword, complete with a sentient sword spirit. How could this be possible? Could his sword be…
Qiu Tu’s piercing gaze locked onto the Dragon Slaying Sword, scrutinizing it intensely. Waves of shock coursed through him as he realized that this seemingly unremarkable Tribulation Realm cultivator was wielding a spirit sword as formidable as his own.
“You… your sword is a spirit sword too?” Qiu Tu’s voice trembled with disbelief. He couldn’t comprehend how someone of such a lower cultivation level possessed such a rare treasure.
Kai smiled faintly, holding the Dragon Slaying Sword steady. The blade seemed to hum in response to its master’s confidence.
“Yes,” Kai said calmly. “This is the Dragon Slaying Sword. It has accompanied me for many years, and its sword spirit has fully awakened.”
As he spoke, the sword began to emit a brilliant light. The faint figure of Zhongli, the sword spirit, materialized, radiating an ancient and majestic aura that filled the surrounding space.
