Chapter 41: Recasting the Fire Scale Sword

The people who arrived were none other than the fellow disciples Duan Fengyun and Bu Jingyun, along with Chuchu.

It turned out that when Duan Fengyun was sent back to his room by Aotian, he felt that given Jian Tan's nature, he would certainly be unable to control his greed and would break into the Sword Pool at night.

So, he went to Bu Jingyun's room and told Bu Jingyun his thoughts.

Bu Jingyun also agreed; a person like Jian Tan clearly was not someone who could keep his composure.

The two evaded the guards, arrived at Jian Tan's room, poked a hole in the window to look inside, and discovered that Jian Tan was indeed not in his room.

Duan Fengyun looked at Jian Chen's room next door, used the same method to check, and discovered that Jian Chen was also not in his room.

It seemed these two had already taken the first step and rushed to the Sword Pool.

There was no time to lose; Duan Fengyun and Bu Jingyun hurriedly returned to their room, brought Chuchu along, and rushed toward the Sword Pool at top speed.

When the three arrived outside the Sword Pool, they indeed heard the voices of Jian Tan and Jian Chen from outside. Seeing that these two wanted to leave, Duan Fengyun spoke up directly.

Upon hearing Duan Fengyun's voice, Jian Chen and Jian Tan stopped in their tracks.

Duan Fengyun looked at Jian Tan and said, "Jian Tan, this young master really didn't misjudge you; you truly are a petty person who doesn't keep his word."

After finishing, Duan Fengyun looked at Jian Chen again, shook his head, and said, "Jian Chen, I never imagined you would actually collude with someone like Jian Tan. Are you worthy of Senior Wuming?"

Without waiting for Jian Tan or Jian Chen to speak, Duan Fengyun said to Zhong Mei, "This senior, our group of distinguished guests has all arrived; the Sword Sacrifice can begin now, right?"

Zhong Mei looked at the two who had just arrived. From their aura and their expressions, he could feel that these two were definitely not kind-hearted people, and both were individuals whose hands were stained with countless blood.

Zhong Mei said to the two, "You two are young, possess high martial arts, and have a fierce killing intent; you must be Duan Fengyun and Bu Jingyun."

Bu Jingyun and Duan Fengyun nodded in silent acknowledgment.

Zhong Mei then introduced himself to the two. After learning his identity, Duan Fengyun immediately took out the Fire Scale Sword from his luggage and said to Zhong Mei:

"Master, could you please recast my family's heirloom sword for me?"

Zhong Mei looked at the Fire Scale Sword, which was broken into several pieces yet still exuded a sinister Evil Qi, and verified with Duan Fengyun, "This is the Fire Scale Sword?"

After receiving confirmation from Duan Fengyun, Zhong Mei walked in front of Duan Fengyun and took the Fire Scale Sword.

Zhong Mei could not help but sigh inwardly; an evil person with an evil sword—this Duan Fengyun's evil nature was not ordinarily heavy. For a divine weapon like the Fire Scale Sword to be broken like this, what kind of terrifying strength or divine weapon must have been required?

Zhong Mei actually did not want to help Duan Fengyun recast the Fire Scale Sword, but as a swordsmith, he could not bear to see such a divine weapon buried.

In the end, Zhong Mei decided to help Duan Fengyun recast the Fire Scale Sword. The Fire Scale Sword only had a broken blade, but the Sword Soul remained, so the recasting work was very simple.

He threw the broken Fire Scale Sword directly into the sword furnace shaped like the giant Peerless Sword, and before long, the Fire Scale Sword actually flew out of the furnace.

Zhong Mei knew this was the adsorption effect of the Peerless Sword, which could make metal bond more tightly, so he used the Peerless Sword to repair the Fire Scale Sword.

Duan Fengyun looked at the complete and flawless Fire Scale Sword flying in the air with joy; now he could finally exert all his strength.

After obtaining the Fire Scale Sword, Duan Fengyun threw the Wushuang Sword in his hand directly to Bu Jingyun.

"Brother Yun, now that my Fire Scale Sword has been recast, you take the Wushuang Sword. There will surely be a fierce battle later; having the Wushuang Sword will also increase your strength."

Seeing this situation, Jian Tan could not help but be furious. Originally, the strength of Duan Fengyun and Bu Jingyun was already unfathomable; now that they had obtained divine weapons before the battle, wasn't that like adding wings to a tiger?

Meanwhile, inside the Sword Casting Villa, Aotian received a report from a servant saying that the people in the guest rooms were nowhere to be found.

Aotian felt that something was wrong and immediately ordered the servant to call Jian Mo and his mother.

Seeing that Jian Mo and his mother had arrived, Aotian hurriedly said, "The situation has changed. I estimate the Sword Sacrifice will be held early; we must rush to the Sword Pool immediately."

After Aotian finished speaking, he took his men and rushed to the Sword Pool at high speed.

Jian Mo was about to go with them when he was stopped by Lady Ao.

"Senior Brother, the emergence of the Peerless Sword this time will surely bring a storm of blood. Senior Brother, if you help Tian'er obtain the Peerless Sword, I will agree to you."

Lady Ao looked at Jian Mo and said.

Upon hearing this, Jian Mo's eyes lit up and he said, "Junior Sister, are you speaking the truth?"

Lady Ao nodded. After receiving confirmation, Jian Mo instantly felt filled with strength and then said confidently, "Junior Sister, rest assured, I will definitely help Tian'er obtain the Peerless Sword. Duan Fengyun, Bu Jingyun, don't even think about obtaining the Peerless Sword."

Having said that, the two also hurriedly followed Aotian toward the Sword Pool.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the Sword Pool was already tense; with Jian Tan, Duan Fengyun, and Bu Jingyun determined to seize the sword, and Wen Nu and Jian Chen guarding the Peerless Sword, the atmosphere gradually became strained.

At this time, Aotian, Jian Mo, and Lady Ao also rushed in.

Aotian looked at the few people before him, extremely furious, and raged, "You people came to my Sword Casting Villa, why do you not follow my villa's rules, and instead enter the Sword Pool early to disrupt the Peerless Sword's Sword Sacrifice?"

Jian Tan laughed loudly and replied, "Divine weapons belong to those who are capable; this Peerless Sword today, I, your father, am determined to take."

Having said that, Jian Tan was about to make a move to seize the sword. Seeing Jian Tan act, the others also took action, and the scene instantly became uncontrollable.

Wen Nu fought directly with Jian Tan, who wanted to seize the sword. Seeing that Duan Fengyun also wanted to seize the sword, Jian Chen drew the Hero Sword, pointed it at Duan Fengyun, and said:

"Duan Fengyun, this Peerless Sword today does not belong to you; you had better give up, otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless with my sword."

Duan Fengyun suddenly laughed loudly, "Jian Chen, since you are so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, then I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Senior Wuming."

Duan Fengyun also drew the Fire Scale Sword in his hand and began a great battle with Jian Chen; the two strongest precious swords of the current righteous and evil paths of the martial arts world clashed.

Bu Jingyun, however, was blocked by Aotian and Jian Mo. Aotian said, "Bu Jingyun, last time we were evenly matched; today, let us fight to the death."

Bu Jingyun did not say much, drew the Wushuang Sword he had just obtained, and began a great battle with Jian Mo and Aotian.

The first to end the battle was certainly on Duan Fengyun's side. Jian Chen was not Duan Fengyun's match before, and after Duan Fengyun experienced the path of sword-nurturing and the great battles against the Tianchi Twelve Killers and Xiongba, his martial arts and techniques were no longer what they used to be; Jian Chen was defeated before long.

Most fatally, the Fire Scale Sword in Duan Fengyun's hand had consumed countless blood and had long reached its peak state. The Hero Sword in Jian Chen's hand required righteous energy to exert its greatest power, and clearly, Jian Chen was not up to it. With one waxing and the other waning, the Hero Sword was directly chopped in two by the Fire Scale Sword.

Seeing that the Hero Sword was broken, Duan Fengyun withdrew his offensive and said to Jian Chen, "Now that your Hero Sword is broken, please do not interfere with my seizing of the sword again."

The battle on Wen Nu's side was also resolved; Jian Tan was beaten to the ground by Wen Nu, spitting blood.

And on Bu Jingyun's side, the battle was heating up; the combination of Jian Mo and Aotian still caused Bu Jingyun to fall into a bitter struggle.
