CHAPTER 25: INFERNO DRAGON FANG SWORD

Duan Li was ready to accept death.

Even when she died by sword slashes, she believed it was peaceful if it came from Little Liu Wei.

The one who helped her achieved her dreams.

The one who made her felt satisfied by her current achievements—not even when she reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

She did not even try to defend herself.

Suddenly, as she was closing her eyes, the killing intent and Sword Intent vanished.

It made her heart beat again.

As she was able to catch her breath.

"Duan Li..." Liu Wei’s voice echoed in her ears.

"This sword is not bad."

Duan Li slowly opened her eyes and saw her Little Liu Wei standing in front of the table separating them, as he was caressing the unsheathed sword she brought in his grasp.

She fell into a daze.

Liu Wei returned to normal.

His eyes gleamed as he was admiring the piece of art she created and brought with her.

Liu Wei glanced at her and her heart skipped a beat.

However, there was no killing intent or Sword Intent.

Liu Wei was simply staring at her with a gentle gaze, smiling.

She smiled in return.

She said, "That’s a Treasure rank sword I brought with me. I give it to you as a form of thanks. Of course, I will still give you a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, but is it okay if I give it in a month, alongside the borrowed books?"

Liu Wei nodded.

"Of course. Thank you for this sword, by the way. I really like it."

Liu Wei then focused on the sword and asked, "What is its name?"

Duan Li was surprised. She believed Liu Wei should have read the book, but it seemed not to be the case.

Nevertheless, she did not dwell on it and immediately replied.

"It’s Grandmaster Feng Wutian’s creation. It’s his Inferno Dragon Fang Sword, created out of a real dragon’s material. Thankfully, I was able to buy some in the market."

Duan Li smirked.

"That’s my first Treasure rank sword I created, you know."

Liu Wei’s eyes widened.

"Really? Dragons exist in this world?"

Duan Li was taken aback and giggled.

He focused on that? Where did he live to not know dragons exist?

Suddenly, she froze.

She thought of it before.

Liu Wei was an immortal, who decided to descend and change the fate of others with his books while he experienced rebirth.

She thought it would be absurd, but Liu Wei’s comment only strengthened such a ridiculous notion.

Her body trembled.

I accidentally discovered another secret of his! And it’s quite big, too!

She stared intently at Liu Wei and decided not to speak what was from her mind.

She silently vowed.

I swear to help you hide this secret, Little Liu Wei! You can trust me! You already have me!

When she realized what she said in the last sentence, she could not help but blush.

Liu Wei glanced at her, feeling her intense stare.

Suddenly, he caught a wound on her neck—blood came out and slithered downward.

He frowned and sighed.

He said, "I’m sorry. I lost control earlier. I thought Sword Intent will not harm you."

Duan Li was surprised.

She followed where Liu Wei was staring and realized there was a wound on her neck after touching it.

She did not even realize!

Even when the blood’s movement felt itchy and painful to touch.

She took a deep breath and sighed.

She smiled and shook her head.

"From what I know, Sword Intent is a mental attack. It really can’t harm me physically. I don’t know where I got this wound from."

Liu Wei frowned.

He pondered.

If the Sword Intent did not cause the wound, what else?

The System clarified his confusion.

[You entered a berserk state earlier and you almost killed her with the sword. Thankfully, you were able to regain your consciousness and stopped before decapitating her.]

’That happened?!’

Liu Wei was utterly shocked.

He only understood now how dangerous what happened earlier, not only to him and others.

If he really lost his mind and went berserk for a long time, the Demon Gate would mutate, jeopardizing his life.

And he might really have killed Duan Li...

He stared at Duan Li, who was staring at him with a wide smile, and frowned.

He ruminated.

But she’s at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, though. How did I almost kill her? Did she not even bother trying to defend herself?

[It’s not that she doesn’t want to. It’s just that she can’t. Do you still not realize how strong you are? You have Sword Intent and Killing Dao at the Initial Comprehension stage. Furthermore, you possessed a quality demonic qi and blood qi that enhanced your strength multiple times.

Even if she is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, unlocking not only the primary meridians but also the extra meridians, she stood no chance against you. Furthermore, you grabbed a Treasure rank sword.

The moment the Treasure rank sword received your Sword Intent, it merged with you, lightening its weight and it was sharpened.

It also received your blood qi, mixing its fire qi with your blood, enhancing its strength multiple times as they did not conflict with each other.

It won’t be even surprising if an early Core Formation Stage cultivator can’t stand against you.]

Liu Wei shook his head and replied.

’That’s too exaggerated. If it’s a Core Formation Stage cultivator with a solid foundation, I won’t be able to defeat them.’

[Yes, but they can’t defeat you, either.]

Liu Wei was surprised.

And I still have not learned a Mystic rank sword technique, at that. Is it still normal?

[Your physique is not normal, to begin with. So, don’t expect you will still be normal.]

Liu Wei sighed.

Ah right. How could I forget about that one? I should stop trying to normalize.

"What are you thinking, Little Liu Wei? Did you like the sword?"

Liu Wei was taken aback.

Then, he recalled Duan Li used to call her with such a weird name, so he simply shrugged it off.

He smiled and said, "I really like it. Thank you."
