Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

"A peerless sword is about to be unveiled. With your strength, sir, obtaining it would be effortless. Why bother with all this trouble?"

"What I seek is not a sword, and besides, even the most exquisite sword is dispensable to me."

The Peerless Sword is indeed extraordinary, but the Xuanyuan Sword is no less impressive. Moreover, it is intertwined with destiny and is the sword of the Human Emperor, making it most suitable for him.

The weapons he had Baijianshanfang forge were not for his own use, but rather for building his own team.

"What materials do you want to use, and what kind of weapon do you want to forge?"

"The Qilin Sword, the Qilin Armor!"

Madam Ao's eyes widened involuntarily: "Do you perhaps have many more Qilin scales?"

"Not many, maybe a few hundred pieces!"

Even with her excellent self-control, Madam Ao almost cursed upon hearing these words.

A few hundred pieces isn't enough? Are you even speaking humanly?

"Consider this piece as a deposit. Once the sword and armor are finished, I can offer five more pieces as payment."

However, after a moment of contemplation, Madam Ao shook her head and said, "I can ask you to do one thing for Baijian Mountain, sir."

Yue Zhuoqun raised an eyebrow: "Is it to deal with the Sword Demon?"

"That's right!" Madam Ao said resentfully.

Chapter 222 The One-Finger Sword Demon

Madam Ao spoke with resentment, raising her hand and pulling down her veil in front of Yue Zhuoqun.

A face covered in sword scars was exposed to the air.

"The Sword Demon coveted my beauty, cruelly killed my husband, and forcibly kept me in the Sword Worship Mountain. I swear to avenge this."

Yue Zhuoqun sighed inwardly.

Madam Ao's face was crisscrossed with sword scars, but he could still tell that she was originally a woman of exceptional beauty.

Tell me, which woman in the world doesn't cherish her appearance?

She was willing to disfigure herself to preserve her chastity, and that alone is enough to earn her respect.

"Okay, I agree to this condition."

Madam Ao's eyes lit up with joy: "Sir, you can just cripple his martial arts. I will take him to my husband's grave and behead him to comfort his spirit in heaven."

She had been waiting for this day for nearly twenty years.

Because of the Sword Demon's superior martial arts skills, we have had to compromise and tolerate his tyranny within the manor all these years.

He had planned to wait until the peerless sword was forged, then have his son, Aotian, subdue it and avenge his father.

However, Aotian had long forgotten about his father's revenge after following the Sword Demon to learn martial arts, so he could no longer be relied upon.

So he planned to ambush the Sword Demon when the peerless sword was born, even if it meant his death.

But Yue Zhuoqun's appearance gave her a new option.

"That sword demon has cultivated the Severing Meridian Sword Qi to the tenth level, and its power is astonishing. Sir, you must be careful when you make a move," Madam Ao said, putting her veil back on.

From the fact that Yue Zhuoqun sent the box from a distance in the hall, causing Bu Jingyun and the other two to retreat and forcing the Sword Demon to use three sword energies to block it, she could tell that her strength should be above that of the Sword Demon.

However, it is unclear exactly how much higher.

"So what if it's ten layers of severing meridians? It poses no threat to me." Yue Zhuoqun smiled confidently, looking outside. "I can fulfill your request now. Please wait for me a moment."

After saying that, he turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out of the villa.

In the courtyard, the Sword Demon waited with a grim expression.

Upon seeing Yue Zhuoqun emerge, he immediately unleashed a powerful aura, his eyes blazing with fury as he roared, "You bastard, what have you and your wife been doing in the room for so long?"

He loved Madam Ao terribly and always regarded her as his own.

Normally, any man who dares to look at Madam Ao even twice will be killed by him.

Over the years, he had never even touched the other person's hand, let alone spent time alone with them.

Every minute and every second Yue Zhuoqun spent in the room was torture for him.

"Of course we had a heart-to-heart talk, otherwise what else do you think we could do?" Yue Zhuoqun said, pursing his lips.

"I do not believe!"

The Sword Demon roared, stepped forward, his arm muscles bulging, and viciously grabbed at Yue Zhuoqun's throat.

Looking across the world's top swordsmen, apart from the younger generation like Bu Jingyun, Duan Lang, and Jian Chen, only a handful of the older generation have left behind a distinguished reputation, such as Sword Saint, Nameless, Sword Emperor, Sword Overlord, and Sword Greed.

The fact that the Sword Demon is among them shows that he is definitely not weak.

This single grab possesses both speed and power, making it virtually impossible for an ordinary person to avoid.

Before the claws even arrived, the force of the energy caused Yue Zhuoqun's clothes to flutter wildly.

But Yue Zhuoqun stood tall and firm, like a towering mountain reaching to the sky.

He finally moved when his claws were still half a meter away from his throat.

Without employing any mysterious techniques, his right fist lashed out horizontally and struck the sword demon's palm squarely.

Bang!

The force of the energy burst forth, and the Sword Demon felt as if his palm had struck a speeding meteor. His palm bones were shattered, and he staggered back several steps.

"Sword Demon, since you named yourself after 'sword,' then unleash your Severing Meridian Sword Qi! Otherwise, you are not worthy of my serious attention."

"Young man is arrogant!"

The Sword Demon roared repeatedly and finally unleashed the Severing Meridian Sword Qi.

He moved with incredible speed, his sword energy like a meteor and lightning, instantly reaching Yue Zhuoqun. The dazzling light caused Yue Zhuoqun's shadow to extend for more than ten feet.

"Interesting, but still not powerful enough!" Yue Zhuoqun uttered a soft shout, pointing out with his sword finger as well.

snort~

The fiery red light immediately suppressed the brightness of the broken meridian sword energy, and the three-meter-long fiery sword energy tore through the air, annihilating the sword demon's attack.

Sword Demon's eyelids twitched wildly. He thought his sword energy was powerful enough, but he never expected that someone could unleash a fiery sword energy.

Before he could think, the cloak behind him unfurled like wings, and he soared through the air, dodging and weaving in a sorry state.

Boom!

Looking at the ground again, the sword mark, emitting blue smoke, extended for more than ten meters, splitting a large tree at the end, which had been embraced by two arms, in two, causing it to fall straight to either side.

The tree was lush and leafy, but the moment it fell to the ground, it was burned to a crisp.

Is this a power that humans can control?

Could the other party be Vulcan?

Sword Demon's back was drenched in cold sweat as he finally realized just how great a threat this man he loathed was.

No longer daring to underestimate him, his hands flew, his fingers pointing out in rapid succession:

"Ten percent sword energy!"

Chi chi chi~

The sword energy that severed the meridians attacked Yue Zhuoqun's entire body like a dense rain of blows.

He did not seek to achieve immediate success, but only to overwhelm the enemy.

Yue Zhuoqun's clothes billowed, and icy vapor surged out of his body, condensing into a layer of solid ice in front of him, blocking all the sword energy attacks.

"Is this all the power of your full-power Severing Meridian Sword Qi? Then it's time for you to end this."

His feet moved with a swift, unpredictable grace, his figure blooming like a plum blossom, instantly appearing before the Sword Demon and pointing a finger at his brow:

"Get out of here!"

"puff……"

The sword demon's eyes widened, and blood gushed from his mouth.

His body crashed heavily to the ground from the air, landing right in front of Madam Ao's door.

"no no……"

He roared in terror, unable to accept his swift and decisive defeat.

But in the next instant, the true energy within his body began to run rampant, flowing uncontrollably, tearing apart his meridians, and turning into sword energy that pierced through the acupoints around his body, causing bleeding holes.

puff puff~

The blood arrows shot out like a showerhead, staining the ground red.

The ten layers of the Severing Meridian Sword Qi were thus destroyed by Yue Zhuoqun's single finger.

"Sword Demon, you've finally met your end! What goes around comes around, retribution is inevitable, hahaha... sob sob..."

Madam Ao laughed heartily, but her laughter soon turned into sobbing. She slumped against the door frame and sat on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

After a long while, she finally composed herself, stood up, and bowed deeply to Yue Zhuoqun.
