Chapter 6: The Eagle King Sword

  He turned around and left hastily, just arriving at the backyard when he heard Lou Yin shouting loudly: "Not a single one is spared! Kill!"

  Shen Du heard this and once again a surge of emotion rose up in his heart, he called out to Shen Yu Xi: "Yu Xi, let's go back, how can we abandon the lives of all our family members at such a critical moment? Although they are not our closest relatives, they have raised us, accompanied us, and grown up with us. Can you really bear to leave them behind, watching them die right in front of your eyes?"

  Shen Yu furrowed her brow, saying coldly: "How could I not want to go back? But what about the tasks Grandfather entrusted to us? What about the future of our family, the glory of our family? If we go back now, it's likely that we'll only be sacrificing in vain and adding to the casualties!"

  "But..." Shen Du's tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed, and he gritted his teeth as tears fell, sighing: "But can we really fulfill Grandfather's wish, revive the Shen family's prestige? Is it really that easy?"

  "Of course, it's not easy. The Lingzhou continent is vast and we are just a swordsman and a sword hand, basically insignificant as ants. To gain glory on the Lingzhou continent where experts abound, one must strengthen their own power. When our strength is inferior to others, we must know how to yield and not be arrogant about temporary abilities." Shen Yuxi said with deep meaning, her face showing a bewildered expression towards the future.

  "Alas!" Shen Du let out a deep sigh, his face heavy with concern as he glanced back at the intense battle at the entrance. The sky was filled with sword shadows, and two golden sword auras representing the Sword King level were clearly suppressing several orange sword auras from the Shen family, as well as dozens of red sword auras.

  "It seems that the Shen family has suffered heavy casualties, we must leave as soon as possible." Shen Yu Xi's originally cold face also rose with a hint of pain, her tone was sorrowful.

  "Alright!" Shendu finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and turned around to say: "Then let's go!" As he said this, Shendu could no longer hold back the flood of tears.

  Shen Yu Xie's eyes were cold and unyielding as he said, "We no longer have the right to be weak. From now on, we may become lone swordsmen, with nothing to rely on but our own two hands. As long as we can revive the Shen family, we will have no regrets towards the Shen family."

  "No guilt, Yu Xi, can you really have no guilt at all? Watching them die under the sword of Da Jian Men with your eyes wide open, don't you feel any heartache?"

  "It's heartbreaking, what's the use of being heartbroken? Only if we pull ourselves together can we restore the Shen family to its former glory and let Grandfather smile in his grave."

  "No! Don't say that again!" Shen Dou could no longer bear to listen and sprang into action, using his lightness skill to swiftly flee towards the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain.

  Shen Yu Xi followed closely behind, her heart filled with a hundred emotions. She turned back to look at Grandfather's old bones and the desperate struggle of the Great Sword Sect, and in her originally cold eyes, two glittering teardrops suddenly appeared.

  Just arrived at the bamboo forest, I saw a man in black clothes emitting green light, flashing past their faces. TXT website

  Both of their lines of sight were somewhat blurred due to tears.

  "Who is it!" Shen Du was shocked, his whole body on high alert, and landed on the tip of a bamboo shoot, treading on the leaves: "That person's body has a familiar scent." More chapters please visit.

  "Too fast, didn't see clearly." Shen Yu Xi also stopped beside Shen Dou, stepping on a bamboo leaf, maintaining the posture of drawing her sword.

  Looking around, there was no sign of ghosts anywhere.

  "That old fellow who has always served me, doesn't he look like..." Shen Du's refined face showed a hint of doubt.

  "Are you saying he's also a swordsman?" Shen Yu Xi asked incredulously.

  After a moment of contemplation, he conjured up the sound and appearance of Old Gu in his mind, and said even more firmly: "Actually, I've always suspected that he's not an ordinary person. But just now, he was clearly heading towards the Shen family, and with his speed, accompanied by green light, he's probably already reached the Sword Emperor level."

  "Hmm!" Shen Yu Xi's right hand gripping the hilt of her sword relaxed, and she said thoughtfully: "Anyway, let's leave this place first."

  "Hmm, it can't be helped." Shen Du said with a pout, but in his heart he was still speculating, since he hadn't seen Old Guo the whole time, could it really be Old Guo?

  But no time to think, the road to the capital of death is far away, two people, one left and one right, exert their light work, rushing towards the capital "Death Capital" of the Empire of Weights. More and faster chapters please go to.

  On the way to the capital of death, there are high mountains and great rivers, beautiful scenery that is hard to take in, but no one has the heart to appreciate it.

  After a long time, Shen suddenly saw a bird with green feathers in the distance, fighting with a large eagle on top of a tree.

  "Huh? Isn't that Little Po?" Shen Du sighed and said.

  "Little poem, who is Little Poem?" Shen Yu Xi asked in surprise.

  "Ah." Shen pointed with his finger at the Oriole that was fighting with the Eagle: "That's the one, it's my best buddy." He then rushed over quickly.

  The Huamei bird saw Shen Du and came forward, as if seeing a lifesaver, joyfully saying: "Shen Du, you've come just in time, quickly help me catch it!"

  At a closer look, I suddenly realized that the eagle's physique was even more massive than the Ling Mountain's sacred lion. Its wingspan stretched out to be at least three zhang, its head was like a boulder, its eyes were cold and unfeeling, and its jet-black beak could rival a long sword.

  Upon seeing Shen Du and Shen Yu Xi, the eagle let out a long whistle. The whistle was drawn-out and distant, shocking people's hearts, and released a powerful sword aura like that of a Sword King.

  Shen Du and Shen Yu Xi were still suffering from their injuries, the powerful sword energy radiated in all directions, creating a huge pressure that made it difficult for them to breathe.

  "Be careful!" Shen Du clenched his fists and stood in front of Shen Yu Xi, suppressing the pain within him.

  Shen Yu was taken aback by the sight, Shen Dou's swordsmanship was clearly inferior to his own, yet he bravely stood in front of him, his opponent was obviously a Ling Wang-level spirit beast, far surpassing Shen Dou by two levels, but he didn't feel any fear.

  Just as the rain was about to stop, Shen Du suddenly let out a loud shout: "Hey, Eagle Brother, you're so powerful now, why do you need to bully Little Poem, this low-ranking spirit bird? Don't you know that the spirit beasts of Ling Mountain and Yi Mo Mountain are extremely delicious for lunch?"

  Shen Yu didn't know that Shen Dou could understand the language of birds and beasts, and looked at him with a shocked expression: "What are you doing? It can't even understand what you're saying."

  The eagle heard this and let out a series of "gulps", as if it were communicating with Shen Dou.

  "Why don't you ask it what it's doing here, knowing that this is the habitat of my Eagle Clan and no outsiders are allowed to set foot?" This was the meaning of the Great Eagle.

  Shen Du heard this and said with a apologetic face: "Then I'm really sorry, Eagle brother. Let me apologize to you on behalf of Xiao Shi. It was originally going to sneak into the Sand City in the Death Capital to gather information for me, but it accidentally entered your world. I'm truly sorry."

  "Hmph! An apology means nothing unless you help me with something, otherwise this matter won't be settled so easily." Eagle said firmly.

  Shen Du heard this and was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "What's the big deal about doing one thing?" "Alright, I agree!"

  "Hey, nobody has even asked you to do anything and you've already agreed. Have you been drinking? Your brain must be ruined from drinking!" Shen Yuxi stood behind Shen Dou, her face full of surprise.

  "It's nothing, just helping him with something." Shen Du said lightly, but in his heart he was hoping that Da Ying's request wouldn't be too excessive. If it were, then he wouldn't be able to be polite with him either.

  "Hey, kid, you're quite straightforward, I like that about you." Eagle patted his wings and said "Gugu".

  A strong gust of wind suddenly rose, and Xiao Shi was so frightened that he rushed into Shen Dou's arms. The hems of Shen Dou and Shen Yu Xi's clothes made a "popping" sound, and even the branches of the surrounding trees snapped.

  But without a hint of sword energy, nor harming others in the slightest.

  "I believe in you, that you would take action to defend the family's rules, and I also believe that you are not an evil person. The things you ask me to do must not be evil either." Shen Du said with a smile, but deep down he hoped that he had not misjudged the person.

  "Haha." The eagle was extremely delighted, "Good, good, good." He said "good" three times in a row, then asked: "I haven't had the chance to ask your esteemed name yet, young hero."

  "My name is Shen Dou, and the one standing behind me is my younger sister Shen Yu Xi. We are new to this place, thank you Eagle Brother for your hospitality." Shen Dou said with a bow.

  "Never mind, never mind, as long as you help me pull out the giant sword on my back, I'll let bygones be bygones and let you leave."

  "What's wrong, Brother Eagle? Are you injured?"

  "Yes." The eagle replied with a reluctant expression, his pitch-black pupils slightly shrinking, as if he was afraid of something in his heart.

  "What's going on?" Shen Dou asked.

  "That man claimed to be Lou Fan, and a few days ago he passed through this place, killing many of our tribe's spiritual beasts. I was also seriously injured, if not for him receiving an urgent order, I'm afraid that by now my head would have been separated from my body, and even my inner elixir would have been taken away." The big eagle said with a trembling voice, as if he still had lingering fears about the matter.

  "Lo Fan, it's Lo Fan again!" Shen Du gritted his teeth and said, filled with resentment.

  "What? You little kid also knows Lou Fan?"

  "It's not just knowing, he destroyed my Shen family today, and in the future I will kill him to avenge!" Shen Du said fiercely.

  The eagle heard this and stopped talking, only making a low "gurgling" sound.

  "Haha, it seems I've gone off on a tangent. But Eagle brother, are you really willing to let me get on your back and pull out the giant sword for you?"

  The eagle's voice suddenly became weak, "It's up to you now." As it spoke, its massive body crashed down, landing squarely on the tops of several ancient trees. The branches as thick as a tree trunk were bent under the weight.

  Shen Du's face tightened as he saw the situation, and he immediately sprang into action, jumping onto the giant eagle's back. There, a gigantic sword with an unusual shape was inserted straight into the eagle's back, penetrating over two feet deep.

  "Yah!" Shen Du grasped the massive hilt, let out a strange whistle, and found that the giant sword was stuck to the eagle's back as if it had grown there. He slowly pulled it out, concentrated his energy, and released his sword hand and sword aura. A red glow appeared on his palm, and with another burst of strength, he finally managed to pull the giant sword off the eagle's back, sweating profusely.

  The eagle felt this sword energy, but didn't move at all, as if it completely trusted Shen.

  It also made Shen Du develop a sense of respect for Da Ying in his heart.

  As soon as the giant sword was pulled out, a surge of fresh blood gushed out from the eagle's body. Shen remembered the hemostatic medicine he had obtained from Wu Ji several months ago and took out a jade bottle from his bosom, fetched a pill, rubbed it in his palm, and sprinkled it onto the eagle's wound, which instantly stopped the bleeding.

  The eagle narrowed its eyes and looked at Shendu with gratitude, saying softly: "Thank you, Shendu."

  "Haha, no need to be polite, saving a bird's life is better than building an eight-story pagoda! Moreover, it's just a small effort, not worth mentioning." Shen Du said generously, flying back to Shen Yu Xi's side.

  The eagle let out a pleasant long whistle again and said leisurely: "Speak, you helped me, how do you want me to repay you."

  Shen Du heard this and searched in his mind, he had been learning swordplay for ten years and had also trained a pair of iron arms that were both offensive and defensive. What he needed most now was a suitable sword, so he asked: "A sword! Do you have one?"

  The eagle looked at him with a surprised expression and said: "Do you know that the sword just now is also considered a treasure sword?"

  "Hehe, I know!" Shen Du said with a smile.

  "Can't even that meet your requirements?" Eagle asked in surprise.

  "What I need is a sword that can withstand the weight of a thousand jun, not just an ordinary xuan tie treasure sword!" Shen Doufeng said lightly, his tone infinitely arrogant.

  The great eagle shook its head and said in a deep voice: "A sword like this, I'm afraid I can't give you."

  "No, you are the one who gave it." Shen Du retorted: "You yourself are an invincible sword of ten thousand catties."

  The eagle heard this and his whole body began to tremble, "You, how did you find out."

  "Actually, from the moment I saw you, I had a strange feeling. You are not an ordinary eagle, ordinary eagles can't release the sword king's aura, unless there is one possibility."

  "What might it be." The eagle asked.

  "You are a sword itself." Shen Du said with certainty, "Any sword hopes to find a suitable master, and I am your most suitable master."

  "Oh! Is that so!" The eagle's eyes, which had been cold and unfeeling, suddenly shone with a sharp light. "If you say so, then if you can handle it, I'll give myself to you." The eagle's tone and expression seemed to imply that Shen was fundamentally unable to handle him.

  As soon as the words were spoken, the eagle's body suddenly transformed into a gigantic black sword, even larger than Shen Dou's own body, suspended in mid-air. The hilt of the sword resembled an eagle's beak, giving off a terrifying aura.

  Shen Dou immediately went up to catch the black long sword, and the weight of ten thousand catties made Shen Dou have to hold the hilt with both hands, unable to perform any light movements. He landed on a huge branch with a flip, but his face showed a satisfied smile.

  "Haha, great sword!" With a forceful swing, a crimson light burst out from the sword, and dozens of ancient trees nearby were easily cut down.

  "Hmm." The eagle let out a low sigh, as if it was hard to believe, and said slowly: "Shen Du, give me a name."

  "What's your name?" Shen Du Ling Si moved slightly, "You were originally transformed from a great eagle, and you can release the sword king's sword energy. Why don't we just call you Eagle King Sword?"

  "Cuckoo!"

  The eagle seemed to acquiesce and hid inside the sword, falling into a deep sleep.
