"Did you know everything?" Gu Han was somewhat surprised by the long sword pointed at his heart, but only somewhat.
"Do you think I, the King, had no awareness when I was in the form of a yuan ying?" The tip of the sword wielded by the sword maiden Yue Wang was already touching Gu Han's skin. "I will kill you to honor the spirit of Liu Nian Li."
"I am very sorry for Liu Nian Li's death. I had no choice, I am truly sorry!!" Gu Han bowed his head and apologized sincerely.
"In our Yue Kingdom, apologies are never needed. Die now..." As she spoke, a massive and overwhelming killing intent erupted from the sword maiden Yue Wang. Her anger seemed to condense into her sword, and with this endless hatred, she thrust the sword mercilessly.
"Ah!!" The sword maiden Yue Wang let out a cry of shock. Her sword blade seemed to have struck an unbreakable iron plate, and the sword, infused with her full strength, bent into the shape of an arch. In the next second, the recoil force pushed her away, as if she had been flung by a spring, and she crashed heavily into the protective barrier, causing the already precarious shield to shatter and disappear.
"Why is this happening? Why can't I kill you?" The sword maiden Yue Wang got up from the ground, her face full of confusion and doubt.
"This is very normal. A sword maiden cannot harm her wielder, even if the wielder obtained her through despicable means." Gu Han walked to the side of the sword maiden Yue Wang and extended his right hand. "My name is Gu Han, and I am your wielder."
"Get lost..." The sword maiden Yue Wang directly slapped away Gu Han's extended hand, indicating that she would never submit to this despicable man.
โโโโโโ
"Hey, hey, hey!!! You two, aren't you a bit too focused on each other?" Gangya, who had long given up on breaking the barrier and chose to watch the drama from outside, could no longer tolerate being ignored and finally spoke up.
"Though I don't know where this woman came from, she looks even prettier than my beloved Kikyo. Hahaha, I, Gangya, hereby declare that this woman is mine from now on!!!" Wolves are inherently lecherous, and so are perverts. Besides, Gangya was a wolf demon.
"How dare you desecrate me, the King!!!" The sword maiden Yue Wang's anger instantly shifted from Gu Han to Gangya. She immediately abandoned her attack on Gu Han and swung the Sword of Goujian at the reckless Gangya... However, her sword technique looked even worse than that of a kindergartener...
"Hey, woman, what kind of sword technique is this? Are you dancing for me?" Gangya easily leaped over the soft and weak strike from the sword maiden Yue Wang and mockingly taunted her.
"Go to hell..." The sword maiden Yue Wang's face turned red, and she aimed another strike at Gangya. This time, Gangya didn't dodge... because there was no need. The sword didn't even touch his body, passing by his arm.
"Your dance is beautiful, woman!!" Gangya, who didn't need to dodge, even pinched the sword maiden Yue Wang's cheek, feeling an astonishing smoothness.
"Haha, you feel great, I'm getting more and more attached to you!" Gangya laughed heartily, easily dodging a few more attacks from the sword maiden Yue Wang. However, he gradually became nervous. Although the sword never touched him, the sword aura it brought could tear his skin. If he were really hit, it would be a serious matter.
"Are you tired, woman? If you are, put down your sword and let me touch you!!" This was Gangya's sincere words, but unfortunately, the sword maiden Yue Wang swung her sword even harder.
"Hey, woman, let's make a deal. If you give me your sword, I'll help you kill that man. Didn't he kill your mother? I'll avenge her for you, how about it?" Gangya, with limited knowledge, mistook Liu Nian Li for the sword maiden Yue Wang's mother...
"Filthy woman, I won't play with you anymore!!" After dodging dozens of attacks from the sword maiden Yue Wang, Gangya finally lost all patience. He found a weakness in her and kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying over ten meters away, right next to Gu Han, who had been watching the entire time.
"Yue Wang, you are no match for Gangya. Let me help you." Gu Han reached out to hold the sword maiden Yue Wang's delicate hands, trying to help her up.
"Don't touch me, I will come back to kill you!!" The sword maiden Yue Wang shook off Gu Han's hand and glared at Gangya, who had kicked her.
"Hahaha, woman, as that man said, you are no match for me. Step aside and let me kill that man to avenge your mother!!" In Gangya's mind, his hatred for Gu Han was much greater than for the sword maiden Yue Wang.
"Hmph, I can kill you easily," the sword maiden Yue Wang said fiercely, lifting the Sword of Goujian to attack Gangya again. But this time, she didn't take a step forward, as a hand firmly held her shoulder. The hand seemed to have no strength, yet it immobilized her completely.
"Yue Wang, I have only five minutes left. I can't waste any more time. Return to your sword form!!"
"Return to my sword form?" Yue Wang's expression froze, and her face turned bright red. "You think I will?"
"Sorry, then I'll have to do it myself!!" Gu Han said, placing his other hand on the sword maiden Yue Wang's smooth back.
"Ridiculous, take your hand off my noble body!!" The sword maiden Yue Wang panicked, completely panicked.
"Stop, how can I return to my sword form in your hands... Hmph, fool, you can't find my hilt, so you can't make me return to my sword form!!!" The sword maiden Yue Wang laughed coldly, trying to hide her panic.
Returning to the sword form means transforming the human form of the sword maiden back into a sword, which the wielder can hold to fight. Normally, the sword maiden returns to her sword form voluntarily when the wielder commands it. However, the sword maiden can refuse, in which case the wielder must find the hilt in her body. Once the wielder holds the hilt, the sword maiden is forced to return to her sword form.
"I remember, it's between the twenty-fourth vertebra and the first coccyx," Gu Han's hand traced down the sword maiden Yue Wang's back, stopping between her thighs, just a few centimeters from her most sensitive spot. "It's right here."
No wonder the sword maiden Yue Wang refused to let Gu Han find her hilt; it was in such a sensitive place.
"I will definitely kill you." The sword maiden Yue Wang, her face almost bleeding, threatened.
"Whatever!" Gu Han replied indifferently, pressing his finger into the crease between Yue Wang's thighs. A cold, smooth, and historically textured hilt was now in his hand.
Gu Han held the hilt and slowly pulled the sword from between Yue Wang's buttocks. As the sword was pulled out, Yue Wang's form shrank and eventually disappeared, leaving only a long sword, gleaming with a cold light. This was the sword form of the sword maiden Yue Wangโthe Sword of Goujian.
โโโโโโ
"Human, what kind of demon art did you use? That woman turned into a sword!!" Gangya, who had been watching the conflict, suddenly realized something was wrong. The situation seemed to have deviated from his expectations.
"You don't need to know. Gangya, you won't live for more than five seconds." Gu Han looked at Gangya as if he were already a corpse.
"Haha, human, watch me crush your head!!!" For some reason, seeing the human's cold eyes filled Gangya with fear. To suppress this fear, he unleashed his most powerful demon energy and attacked Gu Han at a speed that the naked eye couldn't follow.
"Blood Iron Claw" Gangya used his strongest move, a blood-red iron claw that could tear through anything.
"Xuan Tian Nine SwordsโLing Jian Yuan" A sword glow flashed in the air, and over a dozen sword auras suddenly appeared, dancing like silver snakes. They accurately pierced Gangya's forehead, and before the ghost-level demon, the young lord of the demon wolf clan, could react, his soul was pierced, and his life quietly vanished from this seemingly fragile world.
"Return, Yue Wang" After killing Gangya, Gu Han threw the Sword of Goujian into the air. The sword twisted, and the sword maiden Yue Wang returned to her human form, standing on the ground.
"What sword technique did you use just now?" Yue Wang's face, for the first time, showed no anger towards Gu Han.
"Xuan Tian Nine Swords, it's a family sword technique."
"A very powerful sword technique, more powerful than any I've ever seen!!" The sword maiden Yue Wang's words were filled with admiration.
"Do you want to learn? I can teach you!!" Gu Han smiled, the first genuine smile since entering the dungeon.
