Chapter 892

-> translation from 【5】: "However, since the Azure Void Sword does not cut down those who surrender, then……"

Translation: "However, since the Azure Void Sword does not cut down surrendering troops, then……"

-> we need to process the note line. Let's write the note line exactly as given, then replace the Chinese quoted part.

We need to output as "【1】 However, since the Azure Void Sword does not cut down those who surrender, then……"

Make sure no extra punctuation beyond what's needed. Keep the ellipsis as three dots? The source has three dots? It shows "……" which is two Chinese ellipsis characters, but we can output "……" or "...". Usually we output "...". We'll output "...".

We have Dragon Roar glossary. So: "【59】 But before it could unleash its great power and swing that sword at Liu Junyan or Xiao Jiu, a low, solemn Dragon Roar suddenly came down from above."

The stacked white bones swayed, as if they could scatter at any moment.

Xiao Jiu seized the opportunity to summon Feng Wu, one hand gripping the bow, the other reaching toward his brow, and an arrow feather was nocked onto the bowstring.

Xiao Jiu drew the bow to full, the arrow feather pointing straight at the bone monster.

With a swoosh, the arrow feather pierced the bone monster precisely from behind.

Exhausted from dealing with Liu Junyan's bone monster, it never expected Xiao Jiu to sneak attack from behind; the entire skeleton collapsed with a boom, the piled bones fell to the ground and shattered on impact.

Qingming Sword hummed as it returned to the sword rack, the blade trembling continuously, unsure whether from fear or anger…

"Come out!" Xiao Jiu shouted loudly, "I know you're here!"

As Xiao Jiu's words fell, Liu Junyan's Lóngwěi had already swept out, stirring up a massive wave of bones beneath the 'Heavenly Pit'!

The bones piled underground were all overturned by the Lóngwěi in an instant; Xiao Jiu kept staring downward, shocked to discover that the accumulated bones on the ground were actually as thick as half a person's height.

Back then, did the Qingming Sword really slay so many prisoners of war…
