Chapter 233: Unnecessary
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At this moment, Ye Chen could clearly sense the overflowing spiritual energy contained in the Dragonslayer Sword.
From the moment Lu Hanshuang gave him the sword, he knew that it was extraordinary. However, the scene in front of him now went beyond the boundaries of extraordinary.
He had heard in the Kunlun Mountains that once a truly powerful spiritual weapon was unsheathed, it could cause tens of thousands of weapons to submit. He had always considered it to be an exaggeration, but he was seeing it with his own two eyes right now!
The Dragonslayer Sword was broken, yet it already had such power. In that case, once it was reforged, just how powerful would it become?
His breathing became a little hurried, and anticipation filled his heart.
Ye Chen looked at the Dragonslayer Sword that was floating in front of him and reached out to grab it. However, before he could touch it, a powerful force knocked his hand away!
The Dragonslayer Sword was actually resisting him!
After wielding it for so long, it still had not submitted to him?
He quickly gathered the true qi in his dantian into his right hand, and a faint aura wrapped itself around his fingers.
Seconds later, he grabbed the Dragonslayer Sword!
Even though it resisted, and Ye Chen felt his internal organs tremble, he persevered, as he channeled a stream of his true qi into the Dragonslayer Sword.
If he could not subdue a broken sword, how could he conquer the reforged sword? The aura surrounding Ye Chen’s body was getting stronger and stronger. Even Zhu Ya, who was beside him, felt extremely uncomfortable.
Her face was pale, and a trace of blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth.
“Mr. Ye…”
She spoke in a trembling voice.
Ye Chen glanced at Zhu Ya and came to a realization. With a turn of his palm, he pulled the Dragonslayer Sword back to him. The monstrous aura around his body also gradually disappeared.
The Dragonslayer Sword seemed to be a little unconvinced, but there was nothing it could do.
“Thank you, Mr. Ye…”
Zhu Ya was relieved.
“Follow me. I’ll lead you in.”
The two of them entered the swordsmithing room and discovered that there was a large stone at the center of the room emitting a powerful aura.
As he approached the stone, Ye Chen could clearly sense the Dragonslayer Sword stirring again.
“Mr. Ye, this is the Xuan Shattering Stone. The Dragonslayer Sword you own was refined from this stone, and is thus the material you were looking for.”
Ye Chen nodded and brandished the Dragonslayer Sword again. Almost instantly, he felt a powerful force resisting him.
Ding!
The Dragonslayer Sword broke free again, and inserted itself into the Xuan Shattering Stone. A primordial aura swept out in all directions.
“Mr. Ye, it seems that this sword recognizes its origins.”
Zhu Ya was a little shocked. She looked at Ye Chen and asked curiously, “Mr. Ye, are you going to reforge this sword now?”
“Yes.” Ye Chen replied.
The earlier he reforged the sword, the more advantageous it would be for him.
Zhu Ya nodded. Then, she clapped her hands, and one of the six doors suddenly opened. The fire inside was blinding, but soon a black-robed, fully-armed old man walked out.
The old man’s face was filled with pride and confidence, and he held a hammer in his hand.
It was obvious that he was a swordsmith.
Most importantly, he was not weak.
The old man swept his gaze across Ye Chen and finally stopped at Zhu Ya.
“Little Zhu, you’re finally here.”
Zhu Ya nodded and introduced the swordsmith to Ye Chen, “Mr. Ye, this person is a top-notch swordsmith I specially invited from Capital City, Elder He. Elder He is a good friend of my grandfather, and he is renowned as one of the best swordsmiths in Huaxia.”
Zhu Ya regarded this person highly.
Eider He stroked his beard and smiled.
“Little Zhu, you’re overestimating me. Huaxia is vast, and there are naturally many experts aside from myself.”
Although he said that, his tone was full of arrogance and confidence in his ability as a swordsmith.
Ye Chen’s expression was a little odd as he glanced at Elder and asked Zhu Ya, “Why did you bring him here?”
“Mr. Ye, aren’t you going to reforge the sword?” Zhu Ya asked in surprise.
“The materials required to reforge the sword are one matter, but the most important thing is the swordsmith. I invited Elder He to help you reforge the sword.”
Zhu Ya thought that Ye Chen would be grateful, but he shook his head.
“I don’t need a master swordsmith’s assistance.”
Zhu Ya was completely taken aback by this, and her eyes were filled with surprise.
Without a master swordsmith, how could Mr. Ye reforge the sword?
Elder He was also feeling rather embarrassed. He was a top-notch swordsmith, yet he suddenly discovered that his skills were not needed.
Forging a sword was a skill that required a lot of proficiency. Swordsmiths would have to immerse themselves in perfecting their skill for decades before they could be considered master swordsmiths.
Their Zhu family was the absolute authority in this area!
At this moment, Elder He’s face darkened. Had it not been for Zhu Ya’s invitation, he would not have come at all. Moreover, he had heard that this sword was a legendary sword that the Zhu family had once forged, and was thus extremely interested in it.
Moreover, he was very sure that in Huaxia, there was no one else who could reforge this sword and unleash its full power!
“Kiddo, are you f*cking kidding me?”
He pointed at Ye Chen.
“I must reforge this sword!”
Elder He’s anger rushed to his head. He felt that he had been deceived!
Ye Chen felt a little helpless. Zhu Ya’s invitation to Elder He was done with good intentions, but was also completely unnecessary.
If the sword was an ordinary one, he would have happily left it to Elder He to reforge. However, the Dragonslayer Sword was likely going to be his strongest weapon for some time.
He could not allow someone else to reforge it, especially given the fact that the reforging technique he learnt from Luo Yuntian was unique and different.
The Sword Forging Formation!
Compared to the master swordsmiths of Huaxia, this formation was light years ahead!
“It’s as I said. 1 don’t need the assistance of a master swordsmith,” Ye Chen said calmly.
Elder He had a stubborn temper, and was about to argue when Zhu Ya quickly came to smooth things over.
“Elder He, don’t be angry. We are all here for the sake of this sword…”
With that, Zhu Ya went over to Ye Chen and asked, “Mr. Ye, are you not going to reforge the sword today?”
Ye Chen shook his head. “I am.”
“Then…”
Zhu Ya suddenly thought of something and probed, “Mr.. Ye, don’t tell me you want to reforge your own sword?”
