My Top-Tier Tycoon Wife Chapter 675 675: Luo Xiu's Nightmare

Luo Xiu made multiple attempts, even using the Creation Thirteen Needles to their full extent, but it was to no avail.

The object, suspected to be a War Sword Shard, had now completely fused with i Ji's blood. It seed to be stubbornly refusing to leave, likely intending to take over her imperial body.

Master Ping cursed, "Well, I'll be! Dammit all, this thing doesn't even recognize its own master anymore!"

An Ran said, "This object hasn't been sentient for long. Besides, it's just a shard, not the original War Sword, so how could it recognize any master?"

She has a point. Master Ping thought.

Just then, an eerie red fla erupted from the palm of Luo Xiu's hand. Master Ping hastily dodged it.

An Ran frowned. "The Indestructible Divine Fla... What is your relationship with the Ai Royal Family of the Divine Fla Kingdom?"

Luo Xiu shook his head. "I've never heard of them."

Although he had never heard of any Divine Fla Kingdom, An Ran's ntion of the "Ai Royal Family" reminded Luo Xiu of his second senior sister, Ai Hongye. This Indestructible Divine Fla was, in fact, a gift she had left him.

Could Second Senior Sister be a mber of the Divine Fla Kingdom's Ai Royal Family?

An Ran continued, "This priest just recalled that your master, Guijian Chou, once served as the State Preceptor in the Divine Fla Kingdom for a ti."

Hearing this, Luo Xiu understood but chose not to elaborate. He gently waved his hand, casting the Indestructible Divine Fla toward i Ji. In an instant, all of her clothes vanished into nothingness.

But there was no beautiful, snow-white skin to be seen. At that mont, i Ji's body was as stiff as iron and her skin had turned a deathly blue, making her resemble a cold corpse.

An Ran asked, "Are you planning to burn her?"

Luo Xiu only stared intently at i Ji, not answering. Given i Ji's physical constitution, she could withstand the Indestructible Divine Fla for a short while. So, Luo Xiu was making a gamble. He intended to use the Indestructible Divine Fla to threaten the object inside i Ji—to force it out before her body could no longer endure the heat.

The Indestructible Divine Fla was the nesis of all magical artifacts and treasures. Even a Mysterious Yellow Instrunt like Master Ping feared it deeply.

And it worked.

The very next mont, a violent burst of Sword Qi erupted. Streaks of crimson energy surged from i Ji's body, instantly solidifying in mid-air into a shard of tal. The tal shard was tiny, only the size of a finger, and was clearly a fragnt broken off a sword.

Luo Xiu quickly withdrew the Indestructible Divine Fla and reached out to grab the tal shard.

Master Ping laughed. "Looks like it really is a War Sword Shard. Kid, that was a clever idea, thinking to use the Indestructible Divine Fla to force it out."

Luo Xiu said, "Since it's sentient, it must be capable of fear and have the will to survive."

"OW! DAMMIT!"

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Luo Xiu cried out in pain. The War Sword Shard had forcefully pierced through the back of his hand in an attempt to escape.

An Ran waved her hand, and a thin vine shot out, tightly wrapping around the shard to restrain it. Looking at Luo Xiu's blood-drenched right hand, she remarked, "Such terrifying penetrating power."

Master Ping felt a chill run down his spine, for he knew just how powerful Luo Xiu's physical body was. Yet this War Sword Shard had effortlessly broken through his defenses of flesh and blood.

"Damn it, hurry up and refine it with the Indestructible Divine Fla!"

Luo Xiu hissed in pain, allowing Lin Shanshan, who was standing beside him, to tend to the wound on his hand. He shook his head gently, his gaze burning with intensity as he stared at the War Sword Shard restrained by An Ran. "Refine it for what? A sword like this is what makes things interesting. Now, I'm looking forward to collecting all the shards even more..."

As he spoke, he retrieved a Purple Gold Box from his Human Sanctuary, one used to contain divine-grade artifacts, and locked the shard inside.

Master Ping's expression grew solemn. "A single shard can gain sentience on its own and possess such terrifying penetrating power that it can pierce through your hand, despite your physical strength... If you assemble the complete sword, what kind of weapon will it be? How terrifying would it beco?"

Luo Xiu said, "It can't possibly be more terrifying than Dream and Asura."

Master Ping retorted, "The terror of Dream and Asura lies not in the sword itself, but in its Sword Spirit and its Divine Power."

Luo Xiu replied, "In that case, this Azure Emperor's War Sword is a war sword in the purest sense."

"This sword was buried in the Boundless Heavens, nourished by millennia of death and resentnt. It has long since beco demonic," Master Ping warned. "Young man, you're getting in over your head. I'm worried you won't be able to handle it when the ti cos."

Luo Xiu's resolve was firm. "My mind is made up. Only a ferocious sword that can devour its master is worthy of being conquered by ."

Master Ping sighed and turned to Lin Shanshan. "You silly girl, quickly talk so sense into that damned father of yours."

But Lin Shanshan simply said, "I believe Dad can handle it."

Master Ping was left speechless.

...

After the War Sword Shard was removed, i Ji's condition stabilized, and she was no longer in mortal danger.

「Late at night.」

In the sleeping chamber.

After a mont of intimacy with Hua Muyan, Luo Xiu drifted off to sleep. In truth, compared to other cultivators who sat in ditation, Luo Xiu personally preferred to sleep like an ordinary person.

Ti trickled by.

In his dreams, Luo Xiu suddenly found himself amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

"Everyone, hold on! You must hold on! I'll carve out a bloody path for all of you! Your Majesty! We must rush to support His Majesty! I would rather die in battle than betray His Majesty! Brothers and sisters... this general will go on ahead! Heavenly Moon Cult, Swordfire Divine Sect... One day, His Majesty will avenge us all!"

Three thousand warriors were locked in a bloody battle, but Luo Xiu could only watch, powerless to do anything.

"Your Majesty, why? Why did you abandon us?"

Suddenly, a bloody arm shot out from the mire of blood on the ground, clamping down on Luo Xiu's ankle. Then, one after another, bloodied faces with indistinct features began to erge from the muck.

"We fought for you! We died for you! Why didn't you co to save us!"

"Why?!"

"Your Majesty!"

"NO—!"

In his sleep, Luo Xiu shot a hand out, screaming hoarsely.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Awakened by the noise, Hua Muyan quickly rolled over and embraced Luo Xiu, using her body to hold him down. He was drenched in sweat, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were as red as blood. The scenes from the nightmare played out before his eyes, impossible to shake off.

Hua Muyan soothed him for a long ti before Luo Xiu gradually cald down. He got out of bed, took out a bottle of water, and began to gulp it down. The water he couldn't swallow fast enough stread from the corners of his mouth, wetting his neck and soaking his clothes, yet it did nothing to cool his feverish heart.

Worried, Hua Muyan watched him from the bed. She got up, walked over, and embraced him from behind, whispering, "You don't have to suppress it. If you want to let it all out, then just do it."

In truth, Hua Muyan had already sensed a strong emotional turmoil within Luo Xiu earlier today, after he had rummaged through the soul mories of Huo Tianfeng and the silver-robed elder to learn about the Heaven's Aegis Army. But Luo Xiu had been suppressing it all day, unwilling to reveal his feelings to the others.

He must have had that nightmare because of those horrific scenes.

Tears welled in Luo Xiu's eyes, his heart aching with unbearable grief.

"Those three thousand brothers and sisters... they all died for ."

"And they fought for until their very last breath."

Hua Muyan held him tighter. "Which is why we must avenge them."
