A Thousandfold Critical Strike Returns to the Chaos Sword Body!

"We've already given you three months' grace. As for the Lu family, they've already said that your life or death, Lu Xingzhou, is none of their business."

The burly man in black, who was the leader, kicked Lu Xingzhou to the ground and spat in his face: "Stop talking nonsense, either give me the money or give me the person."

As he spoke, the burly man's lewd gaze passed over Lu Xingzhou and landed on the girl standing in the center of the courtyard.

The girl was about eighteen years old, wearing a faded plain cotton dress. Although her clothes were shabby, they could not hide her natural beauty.

She had a beautiful oval face that, even in her sickly pallor, could not hide her stunning features. Her features were exquisitely detailed, her skin as white as snow, and she possessed a kind of morbid transparency.

Her figure was thin and frail, as if a gust of wind could blow her over, but her slender frame exuded an indescribable arrogance, like a precious sword covered in dust.

Especially his eyes, which were clear, cold, and deep, revealing an arrogance and stubbornness that would never bow down, even if he were in the mud or his cultivation was completely destroyed.

That aura of hers was noble and dignified, as if she were not an abandoned girl born in the dust, but a sword immortal from the heavens who had been banished to the mortal world.

She is Lu Xueyao.

"I won't go with you." Lu Xueyao's voice was weak, but it had a sharp edge like a sword, and it was as cold as shattered jade: "Even if I die, I will not let you have your way."

As she spoke, she pulled a pair of rusty iron scissors from her sleeve and pressed them against her throat without hesitation.

The sharp tip of the scissors pierced the delicate skin, and a drop of bright red blood slid down the snow-white neck, a shocking sight.

"Oh, quite the fiery one," the burly man in black sneered. "Lu Xingzhou, look at your daughter, she's about to commit suicide. Since you refuse to sell, we'll just have to chop off your hand to pay off our debt."

As he spoke, the burly man drew his long sword from behind him, a cold glint in his eyes, and made a move to strike.

"No, don't cut!" Lu Xingzhou was terrified. He glanced at his daughter, whose face was filled with determination, and a struggle flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he was swallowed up by the fear of death. His humanity completely collapsed at this moment.

"Xueyao...you...you should go with them." Lu Xingzhou said, trembling, not daring to look his daughter in the eye, his voice full of desperate pleading: "Father has no other choice. If you go with them, you might at least have something to eat. Staying at home will only mean suffering with Father. Just consider it another sacrifice for Father's sake."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueyao's body trembled violently.

She stared in disbelief at the man kneeling on the ground. That was her father, her only remaining family after her bones were removed and her cultivation crippled.

But now, for five thousand spirit stones and to save one of his hands, he's actually going to sell her into a living hell.

"Sacrifice, haven't I sacrificed enough for you?"

Lu Xueyao gave a bitter laugh, the light in her eyes shattering completely at that moment, leaving only endless coldness and deathly silence.

"Lu Xingzhou." Her voice trembled, yet she stubbornly refused to shed a single tear: "From this day forward, I, Lu Xueyao, will not have you as my father."

At that moment, her heart died completely.

"Sign this contract, and the five thousand spirit stones will be wiped clean." The burly man in black threw a contract in front of Lu Xingzhou.

Lu Xingzhou picked up the pen shakily, about to press his fingerprint on it.

Just then.

boom!

An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended from the heavens without warning.

The sky above Flowing Cloud City changed color in an instant.

It was still daytime, but now it felt as if a blazing sun had fallen to earth.

The colorful rays of light obscured the sky, and the vast divine power made all living beings within a hundred miles tremble.

Those originally arrogant and domineering men in black, under this god-like pressure, didn't even have time to scream before their bodies instantly disintegrated into the smallest dust particles and vanished into the world.

Along with the indenture, it also vanished into thin air.

Lu Xingzhou rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.

In the center of the courtyard.

Lu Xueyao's hand holding the scissors froze in mid-air.

She looked up at the man who had descended from the sky, dressed in a black robe and surrounded by five-colored divine light.

"Your name is Lu Xueyao?" Lu Yuan's voice was calm, yet it carried a power that struck straight to the soul.

"Yes." Lu Xueyao answered subconsciously. She felt that the sword heart that had been dormant within her for a long time actually stirred at this moment.

"Your innate sword bone has been removed, and your cultivation is completely ruined. Are you willing to accept this?"

"I'm not reconciled." A flame reignited in the girl's eyes, a burning, obsessive determination even more intense than before.

"Very good." Lu Yuan nodded slightly, extended his hand to her, and looked at her with a hint of appreciation: "In that case, come with me and become my personal disciple. I will rebuild your foundation, teach you the supreme Dao, and let you take back everything with your own hands."

Lu Xueyao looked at the hand and, without the slightest hesitation, placed her small, muddy hand on it.

"Disciple agrees."

The moment their hands touched.

[Ding! Successfully intercepted the golden opportunity and destiny of the chosen one Xiao Fan, the heroine Lu Xueyao, triggering a ten-thousand-fold critical hit and returning the supreme physique—Chaotic Sword Body. Reward: 10000 Destiny Points]

[Chaotic Sword Body: The ancestor of all swords, capable of containing all sword intents in the world. By fusing with this physique, the host will directly master the laws of the sword and reach the third level of transformation.]

At the same time, the supreme sharpness contained within the Chaos Sword Body will help the host's original Metal Law undergo a qualitative change, automatically advancing to the Second Transformation level.

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and a look of wild joy flashed in his eyes.

Chaos Sword Body.

The Law of the Three Transformations Sword.

This was a wonderful surprise.

With a wave of his sleeve, the Five Elements Divine Light enveloped the two of them.

The next moment, the two figures vanished into thin air, as if they had never existed.

All that remained was the unconscious gambling addict and the empty, dilapidated courtyard.

……

About half an hour later.

A weary young man finally arrived in Liuyun City.

It was Xiao Fan.

Filled with frustration and resentment, he returned to the place where he was born and raised.

Although the Xiao family is a prominent clan in Liuyun City, he did not go directly home, but was guided here by the old doctor.

"Teacher, is that genius with sword intent you mentioned near the Lu family's residence?" Xiao Fan asked in his mind as he stood at the alleyway at the edge of the Lu family mansion.

"That's right." The Medicine Venerable's voice rang out: "In that direction, in the most remote corner of the Lu family, the sword intent, though weak, is extremely pure, like a plum blossom braving the snow."

"Fan'er, go quickly! This person is in grave danger. This is the perfect opportunity for you to repay his kindness. If you can gain his help, it will be a great asset on your path of cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan's spirits lifted.

Great.

After suffering such bad luck in the secret realm, God has finally opened his eyes.

He straightened his clothes, touched the spirit stones he had prepared in his storage bag, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"No matter what trouble I encounter, as long as I, Xiao Fan, take action, I will definitely be able to resolve it."

He quickened his pace and, following the old doctor's directions, arrived at the dilapidated courtyard.
