Chapter 1117 - 870 Sword King

"Only three? Is this them looking down on us?" Long Yi curled his lips and said.

"Not at all, there are only these three. These Sword Slaves are extremely powerful; you absolutely must not underestimate them!" Bone King said.

"Why don’t you just tell me what else is there? I might as well draw them all out and finish them off at once," Long Yi said, somewhat annoyed.

"There’s nothing else, just these. Defeating them will take us straight to our destination," Bone King said.

If that’s the case, let me try them out first!

Long Yi let out a roar and his whole body turned golden. He then transformed into a five-meter-tall Giant, while both his hands condensed a pair of Crystal Stone gloves. He charged straight for the Sword Slave ahead.

"Clang!"

Long Yi’s fist collided with the Sword Slave’s twin swords and both Long Yi and the Sword Slave were fixed in place, their feet sinking into the ground! Long Yi’s Crystal Stone gloves shattered instantly, while the opponent’s Greatsword didn’t even have a dent left on it!

"They really are tough!" Long Yi exclaimed in admiration, grabbed the Greatsword in the Sword Slave’s hands, and gave a fierce kick. A loud boom sounded as the Sword Slave’s body flew several meters, yet its arms remained undamaged.

"Indeed, tough!"

Just as the fight was progressing, the Sword Slave suddenly jerked its arms apart, freeing itself from Long Yi’s grasp, and like a pair of scissors, crossed its blades down in a chopping motion. Long Yi raised his hands to block; after two clangs, he was startled to discover two dents cut into his own forearms!

"Now this really is tough!"

At this point, Long Yi truly realized that these Sword Slaves were not easy to deal with. Their strength was no less than his own, and it seemed their sturdiness was even greater!

Meanwhile, the other two Sword Slaves also engaged in combat with Little Zi, Brick, and the Bone King. Little Zi released all her Avatars, bombarding a Sword Slave with relentless attacks. That Sword Slave also took to the air, relentlessly pursuing Little Zi and her Avatars, launching various Fighting Aura skills from its sword’s edge. However, in the end, Little Zi and her Avatars were more agile, evading all skills while continuously counterattacking.

Brick and Bone King, collaborating with Bone King’s former body, also had an impressive synergy. Originally, Brick and Bone King had the exact same fighting style, preferring close combat, their two war hammers constantly spinning, hammering the third Sword Slave so hard it could barely stand straight. At this point, Bone King’s former body would quickly rush in to reinforce the bombardment.

Seems like I’m the only one not making headway, huh? Long Yi thought sulkily.

Then he looked at the Sword Slave that was raising its arms high for another strike; Long Yi lifted his leg and kicked between its legs, but the opponent didn’t hesitate.

Alright, treating you like a normal person was my mistake.

Long Yi’s kick didn’t end there; his brute force continued, lifting the Sword Slave off the ground. Originally, the Sword Slave was chopping down, but Long Yi’s kick made it lose balance and fall backward, while his leg continued to force it upward. He reached out, grabbed one of the Sword Slave’s arms, and with a fierce turn and a leverage of his shoulders, he tried to snap it with all his might. With a loud bang, Long Yi thought he could break the Sword Slave’s arm, but the outcome was unexpected. Although the Sword Slave’s arm was bent, it didn’t break, and Long Yi could see some mechanical structures exposed inside.

"Are these Sword Slaves actually Golems?" Long Yi shouted to Bone King.

"I don’t know!" Bone King replied.

"Damn it, all the Golems in the entire multi-universe belong to me! And you dare to hit me?" Long Yi unleashed a Destruction Ripple, slicing into the Sword Slave’s chest, opening some of its pitch-black material, then he reached in and tore open the wound, revealing metallic structures inside!

Indeed, it was a Golem!

At that moment the Sword Slave was struggling to attack Long Yi, but Long Yi grabbed its other arm and forcefully snapped it. Then Long Yi placed his hand on the Golem’s chest, channeling the Giant’s strength into it. Despite receiving the Giant’s strength, the Golem refused to obey Long Yi’s orders. Inside its core was not a Giant’s power device but a glowing pearl!

Long Yi reached out to lift the Sword Slave’s breastplate. At that moment, the Sword Slave realized that Long Yi was targeting its most crucial part, so it immediately struggled violently. The other two Sword Slaves also abandoned fighting Little Zi, Brick, and Bone King, and rushed straight at Long Yi.

Long Yi summoned the Cosmic Stone hammer, imbuing the hammerhead with astonishing magic, and with one strike each, sent both Sword Slaves flying. The hammer then transformed into a Greatsword wreathed with the energy of destruction.

"No matter what you are, lie down obediently!"

Crack!

With one slash, the Sword Slave immediately ceased struggling, for Long Yi’s sword had destroyed the pearl within the Sword Slave’s chest cavity.

Almost at the same time, a tremor suddenly came from the ground, an inexplicable roaring assaulted them, causing Long Yi unbearable pain.

"It’s the Sword King; he’s awakened!" Bone King shouted.

A tremendous sword edge, several tens of meters long, suddenly appeared on the distant ground, and then more sword edges surged out like tides in all directions. Long Yi quickly took off in retreat while Little Zi immediately retracted all her Avatars back to Long Yi’s side. Brick and Bone King also took off, but they were a bit slower; their Power Armor was hit by the immense sword edges, immediately tearing open huge gashes.

The sword edges didn’t seem particularly sharp, yet they had such astonishing lethality; there had to be a trick to it.

Afterward, the ground itself began to rise, with huge fissures splitting open in the distance and a square kilometer area of land slowly lifting on one side!

"My god, this is clearly a..." Little Zi covered her mouth in shock and exclaimed.

"A giant scallop, indeed," Long Yi exclaimed.

From afar, on the very edge of the field of vision, a group of people were secretly lying in wait, including Landers in their midst. From their attire, it was clear they were from the Ancient Mage Tower. Their sole purpose here was to ensure that Long Yi would indeed die quietly and obediently in this place.

"Landers, you said that Long Yi would definitely be no match for a Sword Slave. Now, with Long Yi having directly killed a Sword Slave, you were definitely bragging, weren’t you?" a Mage from the Ancient Mage Tower asked Landers with a laugh.

Landers smiled and said, "These Sword Slaves are extremely powerful because they are golems left here by Giants to care for the life they created. Ordinary people really are not their opponents. I truly did not expect that Long Yi would be powerful enough to even kill a Sword Slave."

But the Mage from the Ancient Mage Tower pursed his lips and said, "Keep bragging. I saw Long Yi easily kill a Sword Slave; that thing probably isn’t as useful as you thought. Maybe even we could defeat them."

All Landers could do was smile without a word, as the power of the Sword Slaves was beyond their comprehension.

"There’s no problem with your backup plan, is there? You even lost Bone King, your contract creature," the Mage asked anxiously.

"Don’t worry, I’ve made him an offer he absolutely cannot refuse," Landers said confidently.

The ground was lifted to reveal its internal structure, an enormous pearl, a hundred meters huge, shining splendidly with magical light. At the same time, a wave of mental force swept over everyone: "Intruders... why have you destroyed my Sword Slave?"

The voice was indistinguishable as male or female, but the reprimand in its tone was unmistakable.

"Sword King! It’s me, I am Bone King!" Bone King quickly stepped forward, opened the Power Armor’s face shield, and said.

"Bone King? Your soul is still the Bone King, but your body has changed. Can you finally put an end to your sad fate?" Sword King asked.

"Yes! And for this, I have the Giant to thank!" Bone King said.

"Giant?" All the mental force focused on Long Yi.

"Yes, that’s me," Long Yi admitted. Although it might not be well received, he had always enjoyed the benefits of his Giant status, so he couldn’t shy away from the danger it brought now.

"After nearly ten thousand years of abandonment by you, have you finally decided to return, our creators?" Sword King’s voice deepened.

"Ahem, there must be some misunderstanding. What happened was..."

Long Yi hurried to explain that the Giants hadn’t abandoned anyone. Instead, they had been betrayed by the Dragon Clan and forced to leave.

Sword King listened quietly, then made no response.

"Sword King?" Bone King asked, puzzled.

"I understand, and can sympathize, but it’s meaningless. In the end, you still abandoned us," Sword King’s voice conveyed.

"Indeed, you are right. Although I am just a Pioneer, with limited capabilities, if there is anything I can do to make amends, please do not hesitate to ask. I sincerely request this," Long Yi said.

"I believe you," Sword King replied. "Perhaps the Giants abandoned us, but they never broke their word. But now, I must refuse you."

"Why?" Long Yi was puzzled since Sword King’s tone was strange, as if it had known of his arrival and had already prepared to refuse him.

"I know you intend to retrieve Land’s memories," Sword King said.

"Exactly," Long Yi turned to look at Bone King, surprised. How could a third party know about such a matter?

"In fact, Bone King wasn’t the only one who had made a contract with Landers from the beginning," Sword King revealed.

"Does that mean, you as well?"

"Several days ago, Landers, who had lost part of his memories, brought to me a container holding those memories. He transferred them to me and in exchange by the terms of the contract requested a favor from me."

"He asked you to kill me," Long Yi frowned.

"And in exchange, I would be summoned away from this lonely planet," Sword King continued.

"I can do that too," Long Yi said.

"But you are too late," Sword King let out a sigh. "Believe me, I would prefer not to fight my creators if possible. But it is an unbreakable contract."

After Sword King finished speaking, the surrounding ground began to thunder violently. The already repelled Sword Ghosts, Sword Stars, Sword Cores, and the Sword Slaves all surged out, their numbers so great they blotted out the sky, especially the more powerful Sword Slaves, which numbered in the hundreds!
