At the top of the Sword Building.
The atmosphere was filled with an eerie silence.
Li Mo looked at the sword marks… no, hammer imprints on the strange stone, and couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Probably, without any unexpected events, he had just comprehended the “Heaven Overturning Earth Shaking Human Path Hammer,” which was at least a divine skill.
The sword marks on the strange stone were just erased by Ice Chunk.
So the Stonebreaking Starfall Hammer had stamped the strange stone.
Hammer Treasure was quite happy in the world seeds.
Little Li was also quite pleased, after all, this hammer technique was so powerful.
Just afraid that laughing would result in a beating.
“Hammer technique…”
Ying Bing looked at that hammer mark, her jade-like face slightly lost in thought.
She couldn’t help but recall the scene in the bl**d Phoenix Secret Realm.
No… No, wait.
The aura of this hammer strike was different… the level was worlds apart.
Above masterful techniques, only divine skills.
Usually, Li Mo had never been seen comprehending hammer techniques, why…
Zhong Zhenyue’s scalp tingled; even if he died, he wouldn’t have thought that our Sword Immortal left some room that day.
“Hmm? What are you doing?” Zhong Zhenyue saw Huang Donglai taking out a pen again, sweating profusely as he wrote something.
Huang Donglai shook his head, wanting to scratch off the first line, then thought about adding a zeroth line in front of it.
Wu Chushu was now drenched in cold sweat, gradually understanding Bai Jinghong’s reasons.
“Why didn’t you say it earlier?”
“You didn’t ask.”
“How could I ask if you didn’t say?”
“How could I say if you didn’t ask?”
…
The elders were greatly shocked, after being stunned for a while, they slowly came back to their senses.
“Has our Sword City’s sword marks… disappeared?”
“Then can we still call ourselves Hengyun Sword City?”
“I’m thinking about how to handle the next Martial Arts Summit; what will people see when they climb up the Sword Building?”
“I’m too old to change my cultivation to martial arts!”
…
The elders all murmured.
“Haha, I must not be awake.”
Elder Zeng laughed heartily, pulling hard on his beard, pulling out a few gray hairs.
Then he froze.
Pain.
This wasn’t a dream, nor did he missee it, the Hengyun Sword Marks were already gone.
They turned into hammer imprints.
“Jiang… Li Mo! What have you done!”
Elder Zeng wore a mask of pain, not knowing whether it was from heartache or because he pulled too much of his beard:
“Do you feel guilty towards us?”
“I’m very sorry!”
Li Mo sincerely apologized.
Indeed, accidentally, he had wiped out the Sword City’s signboard.
According to the Sword City’s promotion, these sword marks existed since ancient times, they were their sect’s faith and many disciples’ pride.
In his previous life, that would be like destroying a company’s image with one blow.
For example, changing a popsicle in Snow King’s hand to a Furongwang cigarette…
“Do you feel guilty towards your fans?!”
“Hmm?”
“Jiang Chen’s persona is that of a gentleman, yet you used a hammer? Refund!”
Elder Zeng appeared angrier than the other elders.
Li Mo: “…..”
So you’re not concerned about the sword marks at all?
Fine, after Elder Zeng vented his personal emotions, he gasped for breath and said:
“Now, what should we do?”
The elders all fell silent, their expressions complex.
This kid had just helped them greatly.
Who could have thought that he had helped preserve the Hengyun Sword City, but hadn’t completely preserved it, turning around and removing the ‘sword’ character.
“Are these sword marks truly ancient?”
Ying Bing suddenly spoke.
All the elders nodded.
Ying Bing raised her eyebrows, feeling that the sword marks she had erased seemed familiar, as if she had seen them before.
“Could Miss Ying please use her abilities to erase these hammer imprints and leave new sword marks?” asked Elder Zeng.
Ying Bing shook her head with a complicated expression.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but it was impossible…
As divine skills, the sword techniques she understood were not as complete as Ke Mo’s hammer techniques.
“I… I have a method…”
At this moment, a timid voice sounded.
Everyone hurriedly looked over, only to see that the speaker was Jiang Chulong.
Seeing so many people looking at her, she shrank her small shoulders, feeling nervous.
“What method?”
“I can… I can try…”
“You?”
The elders exchanged glances; this young girl’s sword talent was unparalleled among them, perhaps there was a glimmer of hope?
There were no other methods left.
With permission granted, Jiang Chulong gathered her courage and stepped forward.
Slap—
She ran over, kicked the strange stone, then quickly ran back, hiding behind Ke Mo.
Everyone: “!”
The elders felt their hearts kicked.
“Emmmmm”
Ke Mo reacted first, giving her a thumbs up, clever, as expected of someone who had been influenced by him, a genius.
Jiang Chulong pursed her lips, weakly extending her finger:
“Flip this stone… the stone… then you can’t see… can’t see it anymore.”
The elders: “…..”
A simple method.
Indeed, the hammer imprint was also exposed.
They had just tried it.
This hammer mark did not affect comprehension; those who were supposed to comprehend sword techniques from the strange stone would still comprehend them.
“Then we’ll tell everyone that Ying Bing’s sword technique was too shocking.”
“So, the strange stone was flipped, making sense.”
Ke Mo thought for a moment and said.
The elders’ mouths twitched, deeply breathing in, they could only do this to keep the ‘sword’ character of the Sword City.
What a sin!
“There is destiny in everything, perhaps this is the fate of the strange stone.”
A voice sounded.
The young man with white hair who had just supported the Sword City’s heaven arrived with the Crane-haired Young-looking Old Man.
“The strange stone is a product of heaven and earth; perhaps many years ago, what was engraved on it was not a sword technique, but coincidentally, it was obtained by our ancestors when engraving the sword technique.”
The young man with white hair glanced at Ke Mo, his eyes twitching.
I wonder how much of this statement was insincere.
“Several of you, follow me.”
The Crane-haired Young-looking Old Man spoke.
He called all the geniuses who had comprehended the strange stone.
Of course.
Including Ke Mo and others.
After some discussion, they all accepted this reality.
Elder Zeng walked forward and announced loudly:
“Ying Bing comprehended a divine sword technique atop the strange stone!”
“As for Ke Mo… what he comprehended was also shocking, equally matched with Ying Bing.”
“There can only be one Sword Immortal, so he generously yielded.”
“I announce, she will win the Sword Immortal laurel at this Martial Arts Summit!”
There was no choice, they had to lie convincingly.
If they really awarded the Sword Immortal title to Ke Mo, the elders would feel like eternal sinners, waking up in the middle of the night.
Even the ancestors would be unable to contain their shock if they knew.
…
The sound spread below, countless people whispered and couldn’t stop discussing.
“Miss Ying’s talent is unparalleled, I naturally recognize it…”
“Yes, how can we look at it, Ke Jianxian caused a greater disturbance in the strange stone just now.”
“Yes, I think this is unfair to Ke Jianxian.”
“Naive, you clearly haven’t had a girlfriend.”
“Are you going to insult me?”
“Just say whether it’s true or not, Young Hero Ke already has the name of a Sword Immortal, if he doesn’t want the title of Sword Immortal, so what?”
“It seems that Young Hero Ke not only values money like dirt but also doesn’t care about such empty fame, he… lives up to the name of a Sword Immortal.”
“His horizons are broadened, his sword path is above all other swordsmen!”
