Stunning Dragon Wife
Chapter 997 - 996: The Flying Sword Returns to Its Nest
In the next moment, under the astonished gazes of the people, Zhang Xiaoshan took out the Sword Nourishing Gourd.
Holding the Sword Nourishing Gourd, he faced the blood-red Sword Qi directly.
As he watched the Sword Qi descend lower and lower, the pressure of the sword's momentum grew heavier, and Zhang Xiaoshan felt the pressure mountainous.
The power of this sword, if truly withstood head-on, would leave him either dead or gravely injured.
"Susu, are you sure?"
Zhang Xiaoshan communicated nervously with the Dragon Girl through Divine Thought.
In his mind, Susu's voice sounded.
"It cannot be wrong; within the Sword Nourishing Gourd's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, there are altogether seven Immortal Swords. The Flame Divine Sword in front of us should be Red Sky, one of these seven Immortal Swords."
"Red Sky is an Immortal Sword, but due to the loss of other flying swords and leaving the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation for too long, its Sword Qi has greatly depleted. Hence, it is only at the level of an Intermediate Spirit-level Magic Artifact."
"Regardless, this Red Sky is part of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation within the Sword Nourishing Gourd. You can definitely suppress it with the Sword Nourishing Gourd."
Hearing Susu's words, Zhang Xiaoshan's expression became somewhat calm.
"Suppress it for me."
Just as the Sword Qi was only one meter away from Zhang Xiaoshan, he raised the Sword Nourishing Gourd in his hand and shouted fiercely.
In the next moment, the Sword Nourishing Gourd in his hand emitted a golden light, like a small sun, its red-golden glow illuminated the whole Sword Tomb, soothing the surroundings.
"Whoosh."
The fiery Sword Qi before him was instantly sucked into the Sword Nourishing Gourd.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"Why did the vast Sword Qi suddenly vanish without a trace?"
Everyone witnessing this scene within the Sword Tomb was dumbfounded, utterly bewildered.
"It's the Sword Nourishing Gourd."
The Tomb Guardian Clan Leader stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the gourd raised high in Zhang Xiaoshan's hand, muttering.
"I once saw in the clan records that the Sword Tomb's master had a gourd capable of controlling flying swords, seemingly called the Sword Nourishing Gourd. Could it be, could this gourd in his hand be the Sword Nourishing Gourd?"
"A keen eye."
Zhang Xiaoshan confirmed.
"Is it really the Sword Nourishing Gourd?"
The Tomb Guardian Clan Leader was utterly amazed and thrilled.
"I originally thought it was just an ethereal legend, but to think that such a divine artifact as the Sword Nourishing Gourd truly exists."
"With this artifact, that Flame Divine Sword will surely be suppressed."
Listening to the Tomb Guardian Clan Leader's words, those around cheered in excitement.
Only the old hyena standing on a boulder had eyes filled with resentment and jealousy, and some fear.
"I refuse to believe that a mere broken gourd can suppress the Divine Sword."
"I will kill you."
The old hyena leapt, wielding a long sword, and slashed at Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh."
He swung seven or eight swords from a distance.
One sword produced more than ten fiery Sword Qi; with seven or eight swords, it became a hundred Sword Qi, like a fiery net, coming to destroy Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Go."
This was Zhang Xiaoshan's first direct confrontation using the Sword Nourishing Gourd, a rare opportunity. Although dangerous, Zhang Xiaoshan was unwilling to give up.
The Sword Nourishing Gourd was directly thrown by him.
Like a rising sun.
The fiery Sword Qi touched the golden light emitted by the Sword Nourishing Gourd, and in an instant, disappeared without a trace.
"It can suppress Sword Qi, truly the Sword Nourishing Gourd."
"To see the Sword Nourishing Gourd in this lifetime, I have no regrets in death."
The Tomb Guardian Clan Leader knelt reverently on the ground, his eyes filled with awe and worship.
In his eyes, Zhang Xiaoshan was no longer a bragging youngster but an invincible Sword Immortal of the current era.
"I knew he wouldn't disappoint me."
Jiang Qin's beautiful eyes were full of admiration.
"I don't believe it; I want to kill you."
Watching the sharp Sword Qi being absorbed by the Sword Nourishing Gourd, the old hyena's mentality broke down, as he raised the treasure sword in his hand to strike.
"Suppress."
A golden light from the Sword Nourishing Gourd struck the Flame Treasure Sword.
At that moment, the Flame Longsword seemed locked by an invisible force.
The treasure sword became as heavy as Mountain Tai in the old hyena's hands.
"What's going on?"
"Why doesn't the sword obey?"
The old hyena looked panicked, gripping the treasure sword tightly with both hands.
"Buzz buzz..."
The Flame Longsword trembled violently as if wanting to break free.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Countless Sword Qi, like torrential rain, emerged and splattered from the Flame Longsword's surroundings.
"Slash slash slash..."
Caught off guard, the old hyena turned into a bloodied figure, pierced through.
The Flame Longsword finally broke free from the old hyena's grasp, then actively flew towards the Sword Nourishing Gourd.
Not attacking, but conforming.
"Howl howl howl..."
A unique sound came from the sword's body, as if a wanderer met hometown relatives, softly crying.
At this moment, the Flame Longsword was very close to Zhang Xiaoshan, from whom he could see two large characters on the sword hilt.
"Red Sky."
Indeed...
Zhang Xiaoshan was utterly delighted; Susu was correct, this Flame Longsword was indeed Red Sky, one of the seven Immortal Swords within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
This time his gains were astonishing.
"Collect."
Zhang Xiaoshan uttered a low call, and the flying sword immediately fled into the Sword Nourishing Gourd.
