Chapter 569: Chapter 569: Sword Immortal, Lonely Evil Sword, A Myth from a Century Ago!

"It’s no wonder that after his death, his bones still sustained Gang Qi, undissipated for over a hundred years—it turns out he was the famed Dugu Evil Sword from Jianghu."

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but exclaim.

Even for him, that state of being was still a substantial distance away.

Of course, to some extent, Xiao Zheng, at his current age, has reached such accomplishments that he might not necessarily be inferior to the Dugu Evil Sword.

He might even be stronger!

"I’ve obtained your Mystical Sky Battle Sword and your Muscle Strengthening Scripture, so I’ve inherited your karma, and you can be considered my half-master," he said to himself, looking at the corpse.

He walked up to the corpse, stood still, and then respectfully kowtowed.

Martial arts secrets and combat treasures are invaluable assets to a martial artist.

Having obtained these two items, it was only proper to kowtow to the Dugu Evil Sword.

After standing up, Xiao Zheng’s eyes suddenly focused; he noticed a line of text on the stone wall behind the altar: He who receives these two items must fulfill my dying wish.

Slay the Dragon Slayer!

"Slay the Dragon Slayer? Dragon Slayer must be the name of a person. What kind of virtue and ability did he possess that the Dugu Evil Sword couldn’t forget him?"

Xiao Zheng’s brows suddenly furrowed.

He began to ponder.

Ultimately, he could think of nothing—this name, Dragon Slayer, he had never heard it in the histories before.

"No matter who this Dragon Slayer is, since I’ve obtained your sword and the Muscle Strengthening Scripture, I will definitely help you take your revenge," he vowed, looking at the remains of the Dugu Evil Sword.

After his emergence, the Dugu Evil Sword always stood for justice. A century ago, during the weak era of the Hua Clan when foreign invaders encroached, wielding an iron sword, the Dugu Evil Sword slew countless invaders!

It could be said that the Dugu Evil Sword truly lived up to the title of a "great hero," and Xiao Zheng deeply admired him whenever he pondered over his deeds.

Such a person, his adversary, must certainly not be any good. Thus, without any hesitation, Xiao Zheng swore to help the Dugu Evil Sword slay the Dragon Slayer!

"However, the Dugu Evil Sword is an ancient from a hundred years ago. His adversary is likely from the same era," Xiao Zheng immediately realized,

"So much time has passed, even if they were a powerful martial artist, they are probably no longer alive."

If this Dragon Slayer had died of old age, that would be rather awkward.

"Regardless, once I return, I will search through Sky Net for any traces of this Dragon Slayer. If he is still alive, I will kill him; if not, then let it be," Xiao Zheng thought to himself.

He then looked at the remains of the Dugu Evil Sword, his brow slightly furrowed. The people of Huaxia value the peace of burial, and leaving the skeleton of Dugu Evil Sword out in the open like this was not proper at all.

"Since you are considered my half-master, then I am qualified to bury you. Let me give you a proper burial," he said to himself.

Immediately afterward, he walked to one side of the altar and found a spot with good feng shui. With a low shout, Gang Qi burst forth from his fist.

Boom!

Xiao Zheng’s fist smashed into the ground, and the mighty force erupted, instantly blasting a deep pit more than a person deep!

Gravel flew and dust filled the air.

The immense noise echoed through the cave, resounding continuously.

Xiao Zheng walked up to the stone platform and carefully lifted the carcass of the Dugu Evil Sword, then headed towards the deep pit to place it inside.

Afterward, Xiao Zheng picked up the debris around him as Gang Qi surged within him and infused into the rocks, instantly turning them into powder with a loud pop, sprinkling down into the deep pit.

In this manner, Xiao Zheng buried the Dugu Evil Sword, and lastly found a huge stone, flattening it with the Mystical Sky Battle Sword into a perfectly squared shape.

He then used the Mystical Sky Battle Sword to carve several large characters on it: Tomb of the Dugu Evil Sword! Each stroke was wrought as if with iron and silver hooks, the Sword Qi seeming as though it would burst forth.

Boom!

Xiao Zheng placed this gravestone in front of the small mound, thus completing the tomb of the Dugu Evil Sword.

"Rest in peace, as long as I can find Dragon Slayer, I will surely kill him and avenge you," Xiao Zheng said quietly in front of the grave.

Xiao Zheng held a deep respect for the Dugu Evil Sword; three parts for its formidable martial strength, and seven for its noble character.

"Now it’s time to find those Qianqiu Group employees," Xiao Zheng said, after finishing this task and began searching the vast space.

Quickly, he found those people in a corner, in the nest of a giant python; they had all fainted.

"Heh, looks like you’re rather lucky not to have been swallowed by the python," Xiao Zheng said, relieved.

These people had likely just been captured not long ago, merely knocked unconscious by the python, which hadn’t yet begun to eat them.

Xiao Zheng thought for a moment.

All that had happened in this cave, the python’s carcass, the tomb of the Dugu Evil Sword, were all hard to explain. So, he simply lifted these people up and moved them outside the cave.

Then he called the Qianqiu Group employees to move these people back to the hotel. After all, it was a long distance from the rural retreat, and Xiao Zheng was not about to play the role of a porter.

When everyone asked about what had happened, Xiao Zheng was vague, and thus got away with it. A small tempest had thus subsided.

The group activity of this time came to an end here. Once everyone was gathered, Leng Ruobing first criticized those who had acted on their own and deducted a month’s salary, then announced the return trip.

Except for those few, everyone cheered. Indeed, the gathering had been very satisfying, especially having witnessed the grand drama of Xiao Zheng’s fight with the local tyrannical forces.

After returning home, Xiao Zheng plunged into his room.

"This time has been quite rewarding, I want to see what mysteries lie within the Muscle Strengthening Scripture, referred to as the sacred text for internal cultivation," he said.

Xiao Zheng couldn’t wait to take the old manuscript out.

In Huaxia, the name of the Muscle Strengthening Scripture was well-known, almost to the point of household familiarity!

Even in some films and television works, the Muscle Strengthening Scripture was often used as material.

Such a legendary Cultivation Technique, what exactly did it record? How could it wield such immense influence?

Xiao Zheng was very hopeful.

He then opened the book of the Muscle Strengthening Scripture, and archaic, profound characters appeared before him:

Circulate the energy, enveloping the body’s meridians, linking the five essential organs, circulating without dispersing, moving unceasingly, energy born internally, blood nourished externally...

"Exquisite and unparalleled!"

Xiao Zheng’s eyes lit up as he read.
