Chapter 510: Isn't This a Coincidence?

"Then you've overestimated me; I really don't have that much confidence, and furthermore, I have absolutely no interest in this so-called sword!"

Smiling and shaking his head, Shen Yu's Sword Intent pointed remotely toward Qing Han, the threat already overflowing in his expression.

He did not want to draw this sword, and he would absolutely not let anyone else draw it!

"Miss Qing Han, no, Grandma Qing Han, I advise you not to be interested either. This sword is highly ominous; wielding it will surely result in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, an endless slaughter."

"Since even Mu Zishan couldn't hold onto it, I'm afraid there are very few in the pugilistic world who could remain uncorrupted, so it's better for this sword to remain sealed here!"

While speaking, runes had already begun to condense in Shen Yu's hands, and they were gathering in greater numbers.

The level of the Seal Array here was mediocre; that broken sword inside could even leak its Sword Intent out, and just a moment ago, even he had been impacted.

If Qing Han beside him were to take this opportunity to strike at him, although it wouldn't cause him any substantial harm, it would more or less affect him.

It was precisely because Qing Han did not strike that Shen Yu was able to waste his breath with her so calmly.

Furthermore, she hadn't done anything to the people of Qiaoshan Village, nor had she ever killed anyone. She had only used Illusion Technique and acts of kindness to coax the location of the Qiaoshan Village ancestral grounds out of them.

On the contrary, she had continuously spent money to provide relief to them over these past two years, so generally speaking, her nature wasn't bad.

Otherwise, Shen Yu's sword would have already pierced through her the moment they met; who the hell has the spare time to blather with you?

As for the sword sealed in the palace, Shen Yu had even less interest in it. With the System big shot around, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed Mu Zishan; why take that risk?

It wants to tempt others to draw the sword, does it? I'm going to add a few more locks to it; let's see how you struggle then!

"What are you doing?"

"Setting up an array to seal this sword!"

"Seal it? Wait!" Blocking in front of Shen Yu, if she didn't feel she couldn't beat him, Qing Han would have likely already made a move.

This sword must not be sealed under any circumstances; if you don't want it, then let her take it. In any case, Shen Yu was never in her original plan!

She knew very well that based on her own aptitude and temperament, it would likely be a life-and-death gamble. Yet she still came, just for that one sliver of a chance at survival.

However, if the one drawing the sword were Shen Yu, the result might be much better. The other party could easily suppress that Sword Intent; it wasn't impossible for him to completely control this sword.

"Lord Shen, you must consider this carefully. This sword can bring you infinite power, can allow you to surpass your limits, and even surpass the Mu Zishan of the past."

"The opportunity to reach the pinnacle is right before your eyes; are you really willing to just seal the sword like this, Lord Shen?"

"Miss Qing Han, to tell you the truth, I am already at the pinnacle!"

His face was devoid of ripples, but the aura around Shen Yu's body erupted suddenly, the power belonging to the very peak of the True Soul Realm displayed before Qing Han's eyes without reservation.

That aura, as unfathomable as an abyss, made Qing Han feel a wave of suffocation. Coupled with that terrifying Sword Intent that seemed to tear through space and time, a feeling of heart palpitations surged wildly in her heart.

At this moment, she was like a small boat sailing on a turbulent sea; a single large wave would be enough to completely submerge her.

Vast as the sea, terrifying as a bottomless abyss!

Only at this moment did Qing Han realize the gap between herself and Shen Yu. The man had been wasting his breath with her not because he feared her strength, but simply because he didn't want to make a move.

If they really were to fight, Qing Han felt she might not even last three or five moves.

A heaven-sent genius; this was a genius even more terrifying than Mu Zishan!

And precisely because of this, Qing Han was not afraid in the slightest; instead, her face was filled with pleasant surprise. Both his temperament and aptitude were a perfect match; this was the kind of person she was truly looking for.

"Does Miss Qing Han know now why I don't go to draw the sword? Because I don't need to at all!"

Withdrawing his aura, Shen Yu said indifferently, "Besides, this sword can bewitch the human mind. If I were to draw the sword out of greed and be invaded by the Sword Intent, and it ended up causing endless slaughter, I couldn't bear that responsibility."

"So it is better for this sword to be sealed here forever!"

"Zishan!" Looking at Shen Yu, Qing Han couldn't help but mutter to herself. The figures of the two overlapped to a high degree. The same confidence, and the same concern for the world.

Taking a deep breath, Qing Han suppressed the palpitations in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face once again.

"True, Lord Shen's strength is indeed top-tier; in this world today, no one can rival you. Even if those old fellows were to join forces, they might not be your match!"

"But the world says Lord Shen is the second Mu Zishan. If such a title were to fall upon someone else, I believe they would be ecstatic about it."

"But I know very well that Lord Shen must hold such a title in contempt. With such strength, don't you want to shake off such a title, or even surpass Mu Zishan?"

Approaching Shen Yu step by step, that voice full of temptation echoed in his ears, yet it never managed to shake Shen Yu in the slightest.

"Lord Shen is strong, but you haven't surpassed the True Soul Realm yet, have you?"

"You must know that Mu Zishan surpassed his limits by his own strength, turning the impossible into the possible; that is why he is Mu Zishan, and why he is the only one in this world!"

"By drawing this sword, Lord Shen, you have the possibility to surpass your limits and exceed Mu Zishan. Or do you truly admit that you are inferior to him?"

"Miss Qing Han, reverse psychology doesn't work on me!" Although he was dealing with her verbally, Shen Yu's movements never stopped for a second.

One rune after another was born, gradually stringing together into chains, emitting an aura that made one feel oppressed.

"Lord Shen, Shen Yu, stop!" Seeing that Shen Yu was truly going to act, Qing Han became anxious. They say the young are frivolous, but the one before her was cautious to a fault.

If it were anyone else, they would have already tried every possible way to get their hands on the sword. Even Mu Zishan back then couldn't resist the temptation and broke through the Seal Array to take the sword.

Yet he wasn't tempted at all, and not being tempted was one thing, but he actually wanted to seal this sword.

Even Mu Zishan, only after a great awakening, completely abandoned this sword and resealed it back here. And he had always kept his mouth shut about it, not even telling her.

She had also relied on various clues, her familiarity with Mu Zishan back then, and his occasional stray words to finally find this place after searching for so many years.

Yet this person before her could face such temptation and remain calm; perhaps he really could surpass Mu Zishan.

"Miss Qing Han, I must seal this sword; it must never be allowed to spread out and wreak havoc on the world!"

"However, I am curious: why do you want me to draw this sword so badly?"

"For the sake of the world!"

"For the sake of the world? Tsk tsk, what a good reason!" Hearing this reason, Shen Yu didn't even have the thought to retort.

You always bring up the world at every turn, but what have you done for the world? Have you provided relief to the common people during natural disasters, or have you ever guarded the Northern Frontier to prevent the invasion and slaughter of foreign races?

In this godforsaken place of Xiaozhou, Cannibal Valley and Evil Man City have been entrenched for so many years, full of evil and countless crimes. You've stayed in Xiaozhou for these few years, and I haven't seen you lift a finger to get rid of them.

You haven't done a thing, yet you shout about the world every day. Do the people of the world owe you something? Is it interesting to be this shameless every day?

"Lord Shen, it really is for the world. Please do not seal it; if you are unwilling to draw the sword, then let me do it!"

"Heh, isn't this a coincidence? The reason I am sealing this sword is also for the world. Also, do you think I'm stupid? I won't draw this sword, and I certainly won't let you draw it either!"
