Chapter 69: Damn, How Did the Dark Sword Yue An in My Hand Turn Into a Human?

Knight Association, Kyoto Headquarters.

After Su Jing had once cut his way through using the Zideng Diji.

Now it is truly very quiet; there are hardly any people left.

And at the top of the building.

Su Jing finished reading the documents.

Xilina finished reading them along with him.

Originally, as someone from Truth Technology, Xilina should have had no right to see them.

But Su Jing had some questions to ask her, so he let her read them too.

Anyway, it wasn't considered all that important data.

What Su Jing has always believed in ultimately is that strength rules supreme! With strength, letting you see everything is of no consequence.

Anyway, it can't stir up any waves.

And after Xilina finished reading the documents, she did not disappoint Su Jing's expectations.

"I checked all personnel transfers within the Iris System and found something strange. Look at this person named Chen Hao."

"Half a year ago, his data suddenly cut off, as if sealed away in dust."

"And before that, his data was updated very stably on a regular schedule."

"Until half a year ago, when he received an order from Zhou Qingshan to go to the Miaojiang Fenbu."

"People like him, there are a total of twenty-three in the database."

"The common point among these people without exception is that they have all seen Zhou Qingshan; due to the Speaker's status, their data updates are kept confidential."

"So I believe the Miaojiang Fenbu over there might have the answer you are looking for."

Outside.

Knock, knock.

The sound of knocking on the door came.

It was Zhou He.

She walked in carrying the Dark Sword Yue An.

The young girl's face carried a trace of worry; she looked down at the Dark Sword Yue An: "Brother Su Jing, that..."

"Sister Zhao Yun Yan, for some reason, suddenly became unreachable from before."

"Hmm? Unreachable?" Su Jing was stunned for a moment.

He took the Dark Sword Yue An and looked at it.

Then Xilina beside him also placed her deep blue eyes upon it.

Data constantly flashed within her pupils.

"Sorry, because the power of this Holy Sword is too special, Xilina cannot analyze it."

Su Jing frowned; this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

But just at this moment.

The Dark Sword Yue An suddenly released a wisp of purple, eerie light!

Then, in Su Jing's hand, that sword suddenly began to transform! The original hilt position turned into purple long hair.

And the sharp edge transformed into slender legs.

Zhao Yun Yan turned back into her human form.

Su Jing: "..."

Zhou He: "..."

Xilina: "..."

Zhao Yun Yan: "..."

Her expression was somewhat dazed as she looked at Su Jing, then she slowly let out a sigh.

She gently brushed back her purple long hair.

"Could you lend me a piece of clothing?"

"As time passes, my power is gradually recovering."

"The loss of contact just now was because I was concentrating all my power to completely gain control of the Dark Sword Yue An and reappear in human form. 'Obviously, I succeeded.'"

After changing into a long dress, Zhao Yun Yan touched her purple hair: "Is it because of the Dark Sword Yue An?"

"Why did my hair turn purple?"

"Never mind, it's not important."

"By the way, I think I vaguely heard you all talking about Miaojiang, the forest, or something!"

"Did you... discover that forest?"

Zhao Yun Yan's words directly made the several people show expressions of surprise.

Xilina then recounted the matter of Jiang Lingying.

Zhou He was somewhat surprised: "Sister Zhao Yun Yan also knows about that forest?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun Yan rolled her eyes.

"Of course I know; in fact, I understand it better than you all."

"What do you think was the purpose of the swordsmen who existed a thousand years ago?"

"My job a thousand years ago was precisely to clean up that forest!"

"There is such a thing? Tell us in detail."

Su Jing raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously.

"Where should I begin?"

"Let's start with that forest, known as Haimu Mingjie. Why it bears that name is unknown; it existed long before my time."

"That forest had already existed for a long time in my era, seemingly continuing from an even more ancient age to the present!"

"Legend says that forest is a purgatory of civilizations, burying countless ones, and now it has set its sights on our world."

"But later, a shocking great battle occurred within that forest. The forest was sealed, unable to invade our real world again."

"However, gaps occasionally appear, allowing monsters called Kamen Riders from inside to enter our world, and those plants spread with unimaginable vitality."

"Thus, we swordsmen exist. A thousand years ago, we traveled the world, responsible for clearing the Kamen Riders appearing in the gaps, then holding our ground there until the gaps closed on their own."

"I've forgotten how long such things continued; anyway, it was very, very long. The life of a swordsman seems born for this purpose!"

Zhao Yun Yan sighed.

Su Jing frowned slightly.

A great battle occurred within the forest? Was it Bai Ya and the others? Or some other civilization? And what of this world sealed the forest? But then again, only a god could likely do such a thing! Combining the generations of work by the swordsmen, it is clearly a god related to the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence.

"What happened later? How did Miss Zhao Yun Yan become like this, and why are all the Holy Swords scattered across the world?"

"And Mr. Qin Zi'ang's Solomon power, the murals, and so on," Xilina asked.

Zhao Yun Yan fell silent for a moment.

As if recalling something, she spoke slowly:

"A member of the swordsman organization was seduced. He betrayed us, killed other companions, and I was sealed within the Dark Sword Gekigami."

"Or rather, I was the first to be backstabbed, because my Dark Sword Gekigami can see the future, which would hinder his plans."

"Is it the Void Swordsman?" Zhou He recalled Zhao Yun Yan's words when they fought the Overlord Sword back then.

"Yes. The ability of the Nameless Sword, Void, can nullify other Holy Swords. When fighting him, I could not see the future, so when dealing with the Kamen Riders, I was suddenly ambushed by him and suffered severe injuries."

"Of course, I am the Sword of Darkness, the only generation of swordsmen able to wield the power of the Dark Sword Gekigami. He succeeded in severely wounding me, but could not easily kill me!"

"And if it had dragged on much longer, he would have been finished, so... he chose to seal me."

"Hmph! If my condition hadn't been so terrible at the time, how could he have sealed me so easily!"

"But even so, he failed to capture me. I escaped using my last strength."

"So later, when that fellow was using other Holy Swords to restore the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence, the ritual failed to fully restore it because the Dark Sword Gekigami was missing."

"And it seems he likely suffered backlash; otherwise, the power of Solomon would not have fallen into someone else's hands."

"But looking at it now, a thousand years have indeed changed a great deal."

"With the loss of the swordsmen to solve the forest's problem, we don't even know what it has become now."

"By the way, you don't know much about the forest? Logically speaking, after a thousand years, the forest should have exploded by now."
