Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 2303: Seven-Star Sword

"The legendary Imperial Heaven Official? Sergio?"

Jovany Leopold held his sword, standing before Julius Reed, scrutinizing the man in the trench coat: "Is it you?"

"Sergio? Sergio is already dead, I have a new name now." The man in the trench coat took off his black gloves, tossed them onto the nearby table, and said with a smile, "I am called Windy."

"Whether you’re Windy or Sergio, today you’ll receive a beating."

Jovany Leopold turned his back on Julius Reed and asked, "How do you want it, boss? Alive, dead, or half-dead?"

"Medium-well."

Julius Reed said calmly.

"Be careful, he’s incredibly skilled! We’ve been trapped for thousands of years, our skills have deteriorated terribly, but he has been freely coming and going, very formidable!"

With fear, Longwind spoke.

From his voice, Julius Reed could discern he wasn’t lying, nor exaggerating.

This Windy, is not one to be trifled with.

"Be cautious, don’t capsize the boat in the gutter. If you die, I’ll have to pay for your burial fee."

Julius Reed warned.

"Got it!"

Jovany Leopold flicked his sword and directly stabbed the trench coat man!

This strike not only surprised him but also Julius Reed.

Surprisingly, he didn’t dodge?

For someone so formidable, getting killed so effortlessly would be too far-fetched.

Bang!

As expected!

The trench coat exploded!

Jovany Leopold swiftly dodged, shielding himself with his right hand against the blast wave!

From within the trench coat, a man sprang out, holding a sharp dagger in his hand!

Clang!

The dagger struck the sword, causing Jovany Leopold’s wrist to go numb, and he retreated continuously.

"Are you from the Song lineage?"

Windy asked indifferently.

He discarded the trench coat and wore a shirt and jeans.

He appeared very young, only in his thirties.

The dagger in his hand had a very ancient feel.

Made of bronze, inlaid with rubies.

But the blade was incredibly sharp!

No hint of menace, yet it made people shiver.

Fear always stems from the unknown.

"How do you know?" Jovany Leopold retreated several steps, his expression grave.

He’s an ancient martial artist, and so is the other.

Ancient martial artists’ tactics aren’t fancy; they go straight for the kill.

From a single exchange, both were clear about each other’s strengths.

Jovany Leopold’s wrist was numb, not relaxed at all.

It looked like the opponent was barely affected.

"Why do I know? Because it’s written on your sword, ’Song lineage’."

Windy pointed his dagger at Jovany Leopold’s sword. "I’ve heard of the Song lineage, quite famous in fact. Back in the day, it was your family’s ancestor whom I imprisoned."

"By your skills, you’re also an ancient martial artist? The people from the cave?"

Windy said and blew on his dagger.

The blade instantly glowed red!

Like a flame.

"It’s true, I am. But that doesn’t hinder our duel. Nor does it necessarily mean my ancestor is stronger than I am."

Jovany Leopold’s blood boiled, his battle intent fully ignited!

"Come on, make your move!"

He cautiously observed, gripping the sword hilt with both hands, waiting for an opportunity.

"Longwind, you shouldn’t have been a traitor. After following me for so many years, you surely couldn’t have thought that the two of them could kill me, right?"

Windy laughed, "Kill me, and you’ll become the master here, you’ll gain control of everything. If I’m dead, you’ll inherit my treasures, eliminate them, isn’t that so?"

Upon hearing this, Longwind’s face turned wildly!

"Whoa." Julius Reed turned to look at Longwind, "Why, do you have something to hide from me?"

"No! Don’t listen to his nonsense..."

"I am the Imperial Heaven Official, which means only the Imperial Heaven Official can wield the Seven Star Sword! If I’m not mistaken, he’s already come clean with you and disclosed everything about the Imperial Heaven Official, right?"

Windy laughed and shook his head, pointing at Longwind, "He used to be my subordinate. I know very well what’s on his mind. The Imperial Heaven Official governs all officials in the world, even the heavens are under my rule. Except for Trent Marsh and Silvio Reed, I am the greatest, that’s what an Imperial Heaven Official is!"

"But those below aren’t that easy to manage. Therefore, the Imperial Heaven Official possesses a sword, the Seven Star Sword! This sword, apart from Trent, Silvio Marsh Dance, and outsider Hill Leocadia, I can kill anyone! Even Wu Da, I’ve killed him! Now you tell me, who else can’t I kill?"

Windy pointed at Longwind, sneeringly, "You brats even have plans to plot against me. I let you survive here all these years out of kindness. Now you wish to die, I won’t keep you."

"Nonsense! Utter nonsense!" Longwind panicked and leaned backward.

"Now, you are all aware." Windy looked at Julius Reed, "The Seven Star Sword, the treasure of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance! This sword is strong. But only the Imperial Heaven Official has the right to use it. Don’t underestimate the wisdom from thousands of years ago; besides me, no one can wield this sword."

"But it... it does have a mechanism. To prevent the Imperial Heaven Official from assassination, once the Imperial Heaven Official dies, within the next three days, the Guard Commander has the right to use this sword."

Upon hearing this, Julius Reed asked, "But isn’t this inciting subordinates to kill their master?"

No matter the angle, this logic seemed flawed.

"But the Guard Commander shouldn’t know this in the first place. The Imperial Heaven Official faces great dangers and gets easily killed. My stand-ins have died countless times. But once, I thought I was dying, so I shared this secret with Longwind."

"Longwind, you truly haven’t disappointed me." Windy pointed at Longwind and made a forceful gesture forward!

Bang!

A blood mist burst out in front of Longwind!

"You broke your promise!"

Longwind furiously smashed the wall behind him, grabbing a sword box from inside.

"You were the first to lie."

Julius Reed waved his hand, and the sword box was promptly struck away!

Bang!

Windy made another gesture, and Longwind burst open!

Instantly dead.

The Seven Star Sword fell onto the ground, the sword box shattered.

What appeared wasn’t a sword at all.

Rather, it was a shower of starlight!

Like the starry sky above.

"See? This is human nature." Windy collected his dagger and spread his arms, "Such selfish individuals, knowing they were doomed. They took out the Seven Star Sword before dying, smashed it, let me control it. Even in death, they drag you down as a cushion."

"It’s truly human nature."

Julius Reed clapped his hands.

"Marvelous! Truly marvelous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung a table forward fiercely!

Boom!

But as the table approached Windy, it instantly shattered!

Seven strands of starlight appeared before Windy.

"Imperial Heaven Official, ride the wind, chase the moon! Today, witness the might of the Seven Star Sword!"

Windy didn’t make a move.

He closed his eyes, maintained a meditative pose. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

A starry sky enveloped him.

In the starry sky, suddenly a figure emerged.

It’s a phantom.

Yet filled with murderous intent!

"Take him down."

Julius Reed waved his hand.

Jovany Leopold thrust with his sword!

The silhouette seemed to sense danger, swiftly turned around, and waved!

Clang!

Jovany Leopold’s longsword was smacked away!
