Godslayer: My Forbidden Ruins Master

Chapter 318 The Undying Swordsman

"Sister Hongying, I can't take it anymore if this keeps up."

Lu Xuan laughed.

Hongying blushed and let go of Lu Xuan's hand, falling off him.

"You brat! You must... Hey, where are you going?"

Before Hongying could finish speaking, Lu Xuan had already walked away.

"Old Wu."

He stood in front of Wu Xiangnan.

"Little Xuanzi?"

"hand."

"Ok?"

Wu Xiangnan raised his hand in astonishment, revealing hideous scars on both hands.

This was when the members of the special team Blue Feather were hunting a mysterious creature in Takamagahara and were injured by the Ame no Kumo sword.

This former Undying Swordsman of the Blue Rain Squad couldn't even hold onto the line.

Lu Xuan didn't speak, but simply placed his hand gently on the other person's hand. Instantly, a peculiar golden energy surged from Lu Xuan's body into Wu Xiangnan's body.

"My wound!?"

Wu Xiangnan stared blankly at the wound on her palm.

The scars were receding at a speed visible to the naked eye. After Wu Xiangnan's hand was injured, he could not hold the sword at all and his hand was trembling.

But at this moment, he clearly felt the energy suppressed in his palm rapidly disappearing.

That damage came from the Kusanagi Sword in Takamagahara!

Disappeared!

This is an energy that even the pinnacle of human capabilities couldn't eliminate; otherwise, how could he, a master of this special team, have become a cripple?

"My...my hand..."

Wu Xiangnan's hands trembled as he incredulously felt the energy surging from his hands; that incredibly familiar feeling had returned once again.

"Here you go, Lao Wu."

Lu Xuan smiled and handed a sword to Wu Xiangnan.

Upon seeing the knife, Wu Xiangnan couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He even stepped back slightly, something he had dreamed of for years. He had tried countless times to grasp the knife, but had never been able to.

The former strongman became a cripple, only able to rely on his ability to regenerate, and used suicidal attacks to make the most of his remaining strength.

Wu Xiangnan was in immense pain, though he never showed it on ordinary days; this pain was truly heart-wrenching.

He had even given up hope for his future and had no hope left.

But at this moment, what Lu Xuan did was like lighting a lighthouse in the dark night of his life, a lighthouse guiding him forward.

The entire team couldn't help but look at Wu Xiangnan, because they all knew very well how much pressure this vice-captain was actually under!

The once-special squad, the Undying Swordsmen, one of the top Night Watchers, has been reduced to living in poverty in this small city.

If a frog stays in Jingjing for its entire life, it naturally won't have any feelings about this kind of life.

But you have to understand that Wu Xiangnan once climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the scenery above the desolate place. Now he has fallen into an invincible abyss. This huge sense of loss is enough to make a person break down.

They might even fall into darkness as a result.

However, Wu Xiangnan always held fast to his beliefs, even though he had lost the strength to wield a sword. He always held the faith of the Night's Watch in his heart and used everything he had to fulfill the mission of the Night's Watch as much as possible.

This is... the power of faith.

But now Lu Xuan has gilded this power, allowing Wu Xiangnan to wield the sword again.

"Give it a try, Lao Wu."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

Wu Xiangnan remained silent for a few seconds before slowly reaching out towards the knife.

As if it were burning his hand, he was even hesitant to touch the weapon he had once been most obsessed with.

No one urged him on. Everyone understood that this moment was incredibly important to Wu Xiangnan.

There was a pause of thirty or forty seconds.

Wu Xiangnan slowly gripped the hilt of the knife.

Gone was the feeling of not being able to hold the knife at all. At this moment, Wu Xiangnan felt the knife in his hand with perfect clarity. It was a feeling that was both strange and familiar. He had even forgotten how many years it had been since he had held a knife.

Once an immortal swordsman, once a genius of swordsmanship!

Crystalline tears rolled down his cheeks; the once stern and unsmiling man was now sobbing uncontrollably.

He gripped the knife tightly in his hand, but what rolled down his cheeks was an unprecedented joy and excitement.

"Thanks……"

All those words were ultimately reduced to just two.

Wu Xiangnan looked at Lu Xuan gratefully.

It feels like a beautiful woman who has been disfigured has regained her former appearance.

Only those who have experienced the darkness of the world can understand that even the so-called peaceful years are a kind of happiness.

Even the simplest act of holding a knife can be a source of satisfaction.

“Old Wu… In the future, I hope to see the rise of the Undying Swordsmen of Squad 136… This is what you deserve.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

Wu Xiangnan wanted to say something, but when he reached out his hand, he saw that Lu Xuan, who was standing in front of him, still had a smile on his face, but his body fell down uncontrollably.

"Lu Xuan!!!"

"You brat—"

Lu Xuan felt his world spinning, and finally his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"What... what the hell is going on?"

Lu Xuan murmured to himself before losing consciousness.

……

"Captain!! That brat!"

Hongying was so anxious she almost cried.

All members of the Phoenix Squad flocked to the scene.

"His energy was completely depleted... but his current state is very peculiar, as if he has entered a dormant state."

Kong Shang from the Phoenix Squad crouched down beside Lu Xuan to check on his condition.

"The lives of the entire city depend on his energy alone. That's millions of lives. I'm afraid his spirit can't take it anymore..."

Xia Simeng said in a deep voice.

Chen Muyi's expression was solemn. Now he could clearly perceive the location of that golden aura.

Just as the group was preparing to act, they were surprised to see a Taoist priest in a robe and wearing a hairpin approaching from a distance.

He looks like just an ordinary person.

They were ordinary and indistinguishable from others, but those eyes seemed to contain abysses and stars, an indescribable vastness, and a hint of ancient aura.

When this strange Taoist appeared, all the night watchmen present felt an invisible force, as if they were all frozen in place.

Especially considering that the special team, the Phoenix Team, was included, Xia Simeng was shocked to realize that she couldn't even exert the strength of one of his fingers, while everyone else was merely swept over by his gaze. It should be noted that all members of the Phoenix Team were powerful experts at the Boundless Realm.

They could even confront mythical beings head-on, but they couldn't even withstand a single glance from this strange Taoist.
