"Lord Sword God, cough..."
They naturally wanted Kong Neng to repair their beloved swords.
Of course, Kong readily granted their requests. In the end, even the disciples of the "Man and Sword as One" style shamelessly came over and begged Kong to repair their beloved swords.
Kong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lisanna beside him.
“Brother Kong…don’t worry about me. Although I still can’t forgive them, it has nothing to do with this.” Lisanna shook her head.
After so much time, she had finally snapped out of her daze. And it seemed she had undergone a transformation, becoming a completely different person!
“It’s all because of my fault, Lisanna… I misspoke before, and I wanted to kill that old guy too. I owe you a lot… If you’re willing, Lisanna, I hope you can accept this katana… Someone told me that it grows stronger along with its user. I didn’t quite believe it before, but now… In that case, it would be a waste for it to stay by my side.”
Kong believed that Lisanna's transformation into her current state was related to him.
To ease his guilt, and also out of pity for the girl before him, Sora finally handed the small katana that Ya'er had given him to Lisanna.
Chapter 147: Enemies Against the Ten Sword Saints
"The Sword God's sword!"
"Even if it only contains a trace of the Sword God's sword intent, it is still a priceless treasure for a swordsman!"
"How enviable!"
Those swordsmen who were relentlessly mocking those who were empty-handed and wielding short swords just half an hour ago have incredibly thick skin.
"This... Brother Kong, is it really okay?" Lisanna was also surprised.
She couldn't believe that after helping her so much, he was still going to give her his beloved knife!
Although this was a common way for swordsmen in the "Land of Warriors" to propose, no one present, including Lisanna herself, considered it that way. Lisanna simply felt that Sora was incredibly kind to her!
This made her hesitate, wondering whether she should make that request to him.
“Don’t worry about it… Good things should be given to those you cherish. I also want to be the kind of person who wields a sword for those I cherish. Besides, I plan to use this as my weapon.” Sora pointed to the black Tang sword that was approaching. The black Tang sword paused for a moment, then happily floated to Sora’s front, leaving everyone around speechless.
“Um… Your Highness Kong, are you really planning to use that deadly weapon… To tell you the truth, it is really dangerous! There is no way anyone in this world can control it…!” Liu Feng quickly stepped out from the crowd and came to Kong’s side to earnestly advise him.
The reason he remained silent with the other sword saints was twofold: first, to heal his wounds, and second, to wait for the remaining four sword saints to arrive. Only when all ten sword saints were present and used the ten holy swords could the "murderous weapon" be sealed away once more.
But what was happening before their eyes seemed to concern Kong's life. Liu Feng had no choice but to step forward and warn Kong.
“It’s alright,” Kong said, extending his other hand and casually taking the “peerless weapon” that Liu Feng had been looking at.
During this process, the little girl let out an unnatural gasp in Sora's mind. She seemed to be complaining that Sora had acted too suddenly and hadn't given her time to prepare.
……
Kong accepted Tang Dao not only because he couldn't stand her relentless pestering, but also for other reasons.
First, the small katana that Ya'er gave him was no longer usable by Sora. After noticing that it trembled upon seeing the Tang sword, Sora realized that it had developed basic intelligence.
If this continues, it might become a target of the "Sky Garment" destruction magic (although the previous "Yugu" was fine). In order for it to survive, Sky had no choice but to give it to Lisanna.
Another reason... even after just chatting with the little girl for a short while, Kong could sense that she had experienced many unpleasant past events, which made him feel a deep sense of pity for her.
Seeing the reactions of the sword saints and the six holy swords, Sora could no longer leave her behind. Sora decided to take her with him as they left the "Land of Warriors".
"You actually... This is impossible!" Liu Feng couldn't believe what he was seeing. The other five sword saints were in the same boat.
Although Kong is incredibly powerful, perhaps truly a reincarnation of the Sword God, even the original Sword God couldn't wield this "murderous weapon." Ultimately, he lost his life at its hands.
But before him, a swordsman from another region held it in his hand unharmed.
Liu Feng even rubbed his eyes and stared intently at Kong's eyes to see if he had been possessed or controlled by the "murderous soldier".
But Kong was unchanged; in fact, he even brandished his Tang sword a couple of times in place. His expression was less like someone familiarizing themselves with a new weapon and more like a child's excitement at finding a new toy…
"Alright... Anyone who wants their weapons and armor repaired, hurry up and line up... I'm leaving 'Warrior's Village' with my sister soon, so don't miss out." After enjoying the novelty of his new weapon, Sora put away his Tang sword and continued repairing the weapon and armor.
Lisanna, meanwhile, continued to stroke her new weapon.
After all, this was the first time she had received a sword of her own. And it was a gift from the "Sword God" who had saved her. Lisanna's excitement was still boundless.
"Leaving the land of martial artists... Do you intend to take that 'murderous weapon' with you when you leave the land of martial artists?"
After calming his greatsword, Shitetsu approached Sora. He was over two meters tall, and even with his tattered heavy armor, he still looked like a giant!
“That’s right. I never belonged here, so of course I’ll leave… As for this Tang sword, if you want it, you can take it if you can defeat me.” Kong didn’t take this “Second of the Ten Sword Saints” too seriously, even though the other party seemed quite powerful.
“Why would I want that thing! ... However, leaving something so dangerous unattended is also unacceptable! To be honest, we 'Ten Sword Saints' have only two attitudes toward that thing: seal it or destroy it! Anyone who tries to stop us from doing so is an enemy of us 'Ten Sword Saints'! ... By the way, can my Dragon Scale Armor be repaired?”
The swordsmen of the "Land of Warriors" couldn't possibly expect the battle maniac Shitetsu to say anything polite to the "Sword God." But his direct declaration of war on behalf of the "Ten Sword Saints" still left everyone speechless!
Lisanna, standing next to Kong, stared at Shi Tie in disbelief.
Previously, she had a very good impression of the "Ten Sword Saints." She never expected them to turn on her so suddenly!
The atmosphere in the auction hall froze once more. Everyone fell silent, awaiting how things would unfold. A sense of despair welled up within them; they wondered what their fate, and the fate of the "hometown of martial artists," would hold next.
Honestly, right now, everyone is filled with resentment towards the practice of eating iron!
They didn't think it was wise for the "Ten Sword Saints" to cause trouble for this "Great Demon King (who possesses terrifying destructive magic)".
Since the "Great Demon King" wants to leave the "Land of Warriors" with his "Fierce Weapon," let him leave. Why insist on making enemies of such a dangerous combination (Demon King Sword God + Peerless Fierce Weapon)?
"To be enemies with the 'Ten Sword Saints'... I don't like fighting. But if the 'Ten Sword Saints' are stubborn, there's nothing I can do. If you want to stop us, then come on. On the other hand, if you're still causing trouble after I leave the 'Land of Warriors,' then I'll have to make sure you can never bother me again... Your armor can be repaired. Just gather the fragments of your armor and put them in front of me. Also, don't forget to line up."
Kong calmly answered while suppressing the Tang sword at his waist that could go berserk at any moment.
Even though he was almost certain that the person before him would become his enemy, Kong still did not refuse the other's request to help repair the armor.
His confidence, magnanimity, and composure earned him the utmost respect from all the swordsmen present!
“Of course… I’ll go join the queue now.” Shi Tie turned around and walked to the very end of the line.
His phrase "that's for sure" is unclear. Does it mean he agreed to Kong's conditions, or is he merely referring to the armor? Furthermore, does his statement represent him personally, or all of the "Ten Sword Saints"?
"Mr. Kong..."
Following Iron Eater, the third Sword Saint to approach Sora was Sacred Heart. She stared at Sora for a long time, but ultimately said nothing.
She had already changed into her spare armor (after all, she was a woman, and if her armor broke, she couldn't just keep wearing her underwear). But she still couldn't bear to see her original armor break like that, so after hesitating for a while, she also went to join the queue.
After her, Mo Di, Tan Long, and Chi Huo also rushed over. It has to be said, the "Ten Sword Saints" are all quite shameless. Or perhaps, they all wanted to take this opportunity to get up close and personal with this suddenly appearing, star-studded new "Sword God."
Chapter 148 The Story of the Nameless
Of the ten Sword Saints present, every single one of them was extremely curious about Kong. After all, his previous unconventional behavior, mysterious magic, and unparalleled swordsmanship were all incredibly attractive to them.
“The equipment in your hand was clearly not damaged here.” When it was Chi Huo’s turn, Kong immediately exposed him.
"Oh dear... I've been discovered after all. As expected of the Sword God. But I can pay you, information is fine too. I can tell you information about any of the Ten Sword Saints except me!"
Even after being exposed, Chi Huo didn't care and still smiled. In terms of shamelessness, he was no less shameless than Liu Feng.
Although he represents one of the ninja clans, unlike the orthodox "Kuroba," Akahaki's way of life and fighting is very casual. He even uses various firearms he invented to fight his enemies.
"You seem to be a ninja... I've heard that ninjas are very good at gathering information. Well then, you should know something about the 'Ten Sword Saints,' right? It's quite boring to keep fixing things, so I'll just spill some secrets." Sora showed a slight interest.
"You have a truly discerning eye, sir! When it comes to intelligence gathering among the 'Ten Sword Saints,' Liu Feng is undoubtedly the strongest. But when it comes to matters of privacy, I, Chi Huo, am indeed the expert! Let me tell you something I've always wanted to share… Our most popular female knight among the 'Ten Sword Saints,' Sacred Heart, actually likes to dress up as…"
Crimson Flame was only halfway through her sentence when a cold blade pressed against her neck. Then, she was grabbed from either side by two female knight Servants from Sacred Heart and taken away just like that.
As for Shengxin, her face was flushed. When Kong looked over, she immediately turned her face away awkwardly.
Sora suddenly became genuinely curious about what Akahiko wanted to say, sighed regretfully, and then continued with the tedious and boring repair work.
As the number of pieces of equipment awaiting repair dwindled, the atmosphere at the auction grew increasingly tense… Many swordsmen, unable to bear the atmosphere, chose to leave. However, a few, either out of gratitude or simply to witness a clash of titans, chose to stay.
The disciples of the "Man and Sword as One" school were in complete disarray; the death of their sect leader seemed to be a huge blow to them. In the end, it was only after Shi Tie summoned the Black Iron Army to suppress them and calm them down that they were able to calm down.
"Brother Kong... are you really going to... go to war with the 'Ten Sword Saints'?" Lisanna's eyes were filled with worry.
"Little sister, don't be afraid, I'll protect Kong! How could that pile of scrap metal possibly be a match for me!"
The little girl in the Tang sword also used telepathy on Lisanna this time. Although her voice was that of a young girl, she called Lisanna "little sister," which surprised and somewhat embarrassed Lisanna.
"You are... Brother Kong's new weapon? I am Lisanna, Brother Kong's sister. May I ask..." Lisanna seemed very polite.
"..."
“Just call me ‘Nameless’.” The little girl was silent for a moment after hearing Lisanna’s question before answering.
It was only at this moment that Kong realized he had never asked the other person's name.
He had a feeling that the other person didn't want to bring it up.
“Nameless…” Lisanna pondered the name carefully. “Why are the ‘Ten Sword Saints’ so fixated on Nameless? Is a fight truly the only option between you two? Is there no chance for reconciliation?” Lisanna couldn’t help but ask.
Her words were spoken directly, so that everyone in the auction hall heard them. Then, Wuming emitted terrifying magical fluctuations, and spatial rifts appeared around him, transforming him into a terrifying demon king.
The Holy Swords in the hands of the Sword Saints seemed to be stimulated, emitting a dazzling light!
Even though she didn't hear a reply from Nameless, Lisanna understood that the conflict between Nameless and the Holy Swords seemed irreconcilable!
"Nameless, can you tell me about yourself? In exchange, I will grant your wish." Just as Lisanna was about to apologize to Nameless, Sora suddenly spoke earnestly to Nameless.
"..."
“My wish is to defeat all the Sword Saints and sever the ten Holy Swords! ... In that case, do you still want to know about me?” Wuming was silent for a while before asking.
“Yes… Now that I’ve chosen you, I will accept everything about you, including your wishes.” Sora nodded.
"Alright then... Actually, it's not a complicated story. It's just a typical revenge story... And after all these years, I don't really hate those ten pieces of scrap metal anymore. But they don't seem to think so..."
"Actually, before I became like this, I was an ordinary human girl. Moreover, I was the younger brother of the Sword God, the daughter of the swordsmith who forged the 'Divine Sword,' the 'Ten Holy Swords,' and myself..."
Through telepathy, Wuming recounted her past to Kong and Lisanna.
This is indeed a very ordinary revenge story, a common revenge tragedy often seen in various literary and artistic works.
However, the impact of this tragedy exceeded everyone's expectations, plunging the "Land of Warriors" into centuries of division and fragmentation. It's unclear whose fault this was.
The "Land of Warriors" was a loosely united nation hundreds of years ago, led by the "Sword God" and jointly governed by the "Four Great Schools".
The person who integrated the four conflicting schools and established this allied nation was the first "Sword God".
Legend has it that the "Sword God" is a swordsmanship genius rarely seen even once in a century! His understanding of the way of the sword far surpasses human imagination. Any sword or blade that falls into his hands can be wielded with unparalleled skill! He is a man loved by swords and blades.
……
To persuade the "Four Great Schools" to end the conflict and establish an alliance, the "Sword God" has been honing his swordsmanship as a wandering swordsman among the common people!
In order to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship, he would try a new sword technique and use a completely different sword every now and then.
These swords are now the ten "Holy Swords." Each of them was forged for the "Sword God" by his younger brother, the most famous sword-making genius at the time.
