I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

327: Why aren’t you saying anything, bro?When the two words ”Sword Maniac” were spoken, almost everyone in the cage looked over, simply because this name was too great; he was truly one of the top Prodigies of the Human Race!

He was the second-ranked Sword Cultivator of the current young generation of the Human Race!

He had originally been the first, but due to the appearance of that person from the Shen Family, he was naturally pushed down.

It was rumored that in his youth, he had obtained the Legacy of an ancient Human Race Sword Saint, learning three supreme sword techniques that pointed directly to the Immortal Gate!

He had been practicing the sword for no more than thirty years, yet his name already shook the Five Domains. He had constructed the Divine Sword Purple Heaven Profound Palace, a rare type even among Heavenly Palaces. Three years ago, it was rumored that he had killed the older sister of that Your Highness from the Nine Infant Clan...

A Void Return Third Layer great Yao!

His strength was naturally beyond doubt!

Moreover, his obsession with the sword surpassed everything else. To have absolutely no distracting thoughts in his heart, he had even destroyed his own eyes. In short, he was a ruthless person...

”How could Sword Maniac be captured and brought here...”

”Where is his Dao Protector...”

”This is a Prodigy of our Human Race, can even he not escape...”

”I remember now. Yesterday, there were rumors that Sword Maniac was waiting impatiently at the Imperial Pass, so he left the Imperial Pass, supposedly to challenge Mo Ya with his sword...” said a Prodigy who had been captured today. Before arriving, he knew that Sword Maniac had been at the Imperial Pass, reportedly waiting for Shen Nian to come to the Imperial Pass so he could challenge him, clearly unconvinced of his skill.

Later, when Shen Nian did not appear, rumors spread that he had left the Imperial Pass to kill Yao and challenge Mo Ya. At the time, everyone thought it was a joke, but they didn’t expect it to be true...

Suddenly, voices rose from all directions—some numb, some shocked, some speechless, some wryly smiling, and some filled with deep regret.

Even those who were dissatisfied with his actions changed their expressions, and their attitudes shifted.

”Your hand...” Saint Son Wang couldn’t help but ask.

Only then did everyone notice that Sword Maniac’s right arm was completely gone, and even his sleeve had been severed. At the wound, an indescribable power was constantly corroding it, preventing any possibility of recovery...

Opposite the crowd, in the corner of the cage, sat a figure cross-legged. He wore ancient clothes, had black hair, and his eyes were tightly closed. He looked somewhat roguish, with a straw he’d picked up from somewhere dangling from his mouth, if not for the broken sword he held in his arms.

He didn’t look like a Sword Cultivator, but rather a laid-back youth who had grown up in the fields.

”Hand?” ”Is it important?” ”It’s just broken, it’s no big deal. I can still draw my sword just fine. Keeping this right hand doesn’t have any damn use anyway...” Sword Maniac said casually, looking completely indifferent.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked at him with strange expressions.

Even Saint Son Wang was somewhat speechless and couldn’t help but say: ”Sword Maniac truly lives up to his reputation. Such a state of mind is truly incomparable to ordinary people...”

Although regrowing a severed limb was nothing in the eyes of a Cultivator—whether by Body Refining to the Void Returning Realm or relying on holy medicine, it could be done, and Sword Maniac clearly wouldn’t lack such medicine—but now he was a prisoner. To have his most important sword-wielding right hand severed and still be so calm and indifferent, this magnanimity was indeed worthy of praise.

Or perhaps, Sword Maniac really only had the sword in his eyes, and he had become a bit abnormal...

”How about I help you...” Mu Xiaoxiao walked out from the crowd and said softly.

Sword Maniac shook his head and said: ”No need. With your level of attainments, you still cannot break the dao rhyme left behind by Mo Ya. Even if your father came, it would still not be enough...”

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately drew shocked gazes from the crowd.

”What?!” ”Sword Maniac’s right arm was actually severed by Mo Ya!” ”My god, did he really fight Mo Ya?”

Saint Son Wang revealed a grave expression and asked: ”Brother Sword Maniac, is that Mo Ya truly as terrifying as the rumors say?”

”If in the same Realm, is there anyone in our Human Race who can fight him?”

His question was also what everyone cared about most. Mo Ya of the Heavenly Demon Realm was like a giant stone pressing down on everyone, making it hard to breathe. If it weren’t for him, how could the young generation of the Human Race have been defeated so miserably!

Sword Maniac gripped his iron sword with his left hand and bit down on the straw, saying nothing, but a look of unprecedented heaviness flashed in his eyes.

That Mo Ya was indeed ridiculously strong!

His Dao Protector, a famous great Sword Cultivator of the Central Divine Continent at the Void Returning Realm 16th Layer, couldn’t even get within ten meters of Mo Ya with an all-out sword strike...

Seeing Sword Maniac’s expression, Saint Son Wang seemed to understand something. A look of helpless despair appeared on everyone’s faces, and this emotion was spreading among them...

”Emperor Shen will definitely be able to beat Mo Ya!”

After this voice was spoken, everyone’s gaze fell upon Mu Xiaoxiao, because her previous actions and words had made everyone feel favorably towards her. Even if they didn’t believe it, no one spoke up to mock her again.

”Shen Nian?” Sword Maniac raised an eyebrow, then chuckled and said: ”In a hundred years, perhaps that might be possible...”

Meanwhile. Inside the Yao Feast. The atmosphere remained the same.

Beside a banquet table stood several Yao Race soldiers, standing at attention. The Yao Race also had their own armies; besides the Ten Thousand Demon Assembly army, there were those from the Five Great Royal Clans.

”Sigh, it smells so good, I really want to eat...” A bull Yao soldier licked his lips, looking longingly at the delicious delicacies placed not far away.

”Behave yourself!” the Yao army commander couldn’t help but scold. The bull Yao immediately withdrew his gaze, not daring to look again.

After the commander scanned the bull Yao, he looked at the tall, motionless figure hidden under a black robe beside him, revealing an appreciative look and nodding.

”Damn, the commander praised you, you’re in for some luck, brother!” the bull Yao said enviously, though he kept his voice extremely low.

”Amazing, to see so many Human Race delicacies and remain indifferent, you have perseverance!”

”Which clan are you from, brother?” ”Brother, why don’t you speak?”

Beside him, the black-robed figure stiffly raised a hand, pointed to their throat, and then made a killing gesture.

”Oh, so you’re injured. It’s okay, with Commander’s appreciation, this little injury doesn’t matter!” the bull Yao patted the black-robed figure’s shoulder in consolation.

The black-robed figure nodded slightly in thanks, but the bull Yao could never have imagined that beneath this black robe was a stunningly beautiful woman with a lifelike golden phoenix mark on her forehead. Her originally somewhat raw gaze had now become exceptionally cold and stern, with only depth in her eyes.

”Empress, is there any way to save them?” Xiao Qinger asked via telepathic transmission in her mind, her eyes filled only with coldness.

She had obtained many good things from a ruin, not only the ten thousand year profound ice flower but also a secret technique left by the owner of the ruin that could alter her appearance and aura. Combined with this black robe, even a Hedao Yao Emperor might not be able to see through it.

The ten thousand year profound ice flower was a mandatory item that the Empress needed her to acquire. It was the core item used for refining the Pure Lotus Divine Flame, used to suppress the terrifying burning power of the divine flame.

But Xiao Qinger hadn’t expected a Void Returning Realm female Yao to appear halfway. Through her unremitting efforts, plus that tiny bit of luck...

She successfully obtained the Profound Ice Flower, gained the Legacy of the ruin, and incidentally used the characteristics of the ruin to slip out.

Unexpectedly, the exit of the ruin was in the depths of the Heavenly Abyss, behind the Demon Capital. She just walked all the way here and, by some strange twist of fate, became a Yao Race soldier. Originally wanting to leave, upon learning about the Ten Thousand Demon Assembly, the highly justice-minded Xiao Qinger was no longer willing to leave.
