"Oh, right, it’s the Human Race, it’s one of your powerful humans! Although I am of the Dragon Clan, I know about this. It is said that there was a super powerful being among your Human Race who battled against a group of powerful demons for over three months. Near death, even his body was shattered, leaving only a struggling divine soul, seemingly at the brink of death. But at the last moment, he used this Circular Sword, not only killing all his enemies but also reconstructing his own body!"

"The Circular Sword, with its virtues of transforming square into circle and circle into square, is said to have the ultimate capability of absorbing life force and then reconstructing life!"

"Ye Luo, my body, I have a chance now, quickly, quickly activate the Circular Sword and use the demons in this city as sacrifices to help me regain my flesh!"

Ao Long was extremely excited!

However, Ye Luo hesitated. Speaking of which, the Jing Tian Clan and Ye Luo really didn’t have any enmity. It was just that the Junior City Lord offended him, and it didn’t warrant the annihilation of a clan! Moreover, the people here were all from Jingtian City. Honestly, Ye Luo did promise to find a new body for Ao Long, but using the lives of an entire city to reconstruct Ao Long’s body, Ye Luo felt somewhat reluctant in his heart!

Seeing Ye Luo’s hesitation, Ao Long’s voice became noticeably more urgent: "Boy, what are you hesitating for? You promised the old man that you would help me reconstruct my flesh. Do you really intend to break your promise?"

"No, senior, that isn’t my intention. You’ve accompanied me for such a long time, I already don’t regard you as an outsider. If there’s an opportunity, I naturally am willing to help you reconstruct your flesh!"

"Then what are you hesitating for? The activation of a sacrificial tool generally has restrictions. Typically, even the highest-grade tools can only be activated up to nine times! This Circular Sword is an ancient sacrificial tool passed down through ages; who knows, maybe this time is the last it can be activated. If you don’t take this chance to reconstruct my body, it might be difficult to find such a good opportunity again in the future!"

"This..."

Ye Luo understood Ao Long’s excitement. After all, if he were in Ao Long’s position, he would also desperately want to reconstruct his body.

Yet, these people are innocent. And as Ao Long explained, to reconstruct his body would require using all the life forms in this city as sacrifices because Ao Long’s life force is too tenacious. Reconstructing it naturally requires an immense amount of life force!

Annihilate the entire Jingtian City’s hundreds of thousands of people?

Ye Luo truly couldn’t bring himself to do it!

Ye Luo’s hesitation was noticed by Ao Long, of course. After all, Ao Long had been following Ye Luo for a long time and was naturally familiar with Ye Luo’s demeanor.

"Ah..."

Ao Long sighed helplessly and then took a compromise: "Boy, I know what you’re hesitating about. How about this: sacrifice the lives of those who have wronged you. Remember, this is the Martial Realm, and mercy is best kept for your own people, not for enemies. Since they view you as an enemy, why show them mercy? I won’t demand to regain my peak strength, just a temporary body will suffice!"

There are significant risks in body snatching, not to mention finding a suitable body. Even if a compatible body is found, there is always a chance of failure during the process!

If it fails, it leads to the soul’s destruction and total erasure!

This is why Ye Luo and Ao Long have never broached the topic of finding a body for Ao Long all this while, for it is something that is more a matter of serendipity.

But the Circular Sword is different. It constructs a body directly using life force, so there’s no concept of body snatching. Simply put, the body constructed by the Circular Sword can be immediately inhabited by anyone. Of course, once someone uses it, their life imprint is marked on it, preventing others from using it!

Additionally, because it’s a body constructed from life force, Ao Long can choose to leave it and seek another body whenever he wants.

To be honest, since the Circular Sword was already activated, even if Ye Luo doesn’t have it do anything, this opportunity is still wasted.

At this moment, Ye Luo’s brow was tightly furrowed, pondering deeply. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Indeed, just as Ao Long stated, Ye Luo was a bit too soft-hearted. Mercy, as the saying goes, is meant for your own people, not just anyone!

After a moment’s hesitation, Ye Luo finally made a decision.

"Alright, senior, let’s do as you say!"

"Circular Sword, use these people as offerings to construct a body for Senior Ao Long!"

Ye Luo’s decision directly sealed the fate of those linked by the beams of light.

It’s fair to say that at that moment, those people hadn’t realized what they were about to face.

You must know, the pampered young man who lost his life force hadn’t shown any changes; he just stood there motionless, like a beast.

Ye Luo raised his eyes and happened to see the Junior City Lord, frowning slightly. Ye Luo said, "Leave him. There’s no need to kill him!"

The flat tone, perhaps even the inexplicably strange tone, left those around entirely clueless about what Ye Luo was talking about. In their eyes, Ye Luo was talking to himself like a fool. Even with the darkening skies seeming to signal the activation of some powerful restriction.

Yet, after all, Ye Luo was alone facing a whole city, which seemed completely stacked against him, and yet he still had the audacity to talk so proudly, setting others to think him a fool!

Soon enough, everyone witnessed an eerie scene. Those beams of light in the sky suddenly snapped, and streams of green light flew directly toward the box in midair!

In mere moments, the world was left with only a single beam on the Junior City Lord.

What’s happening?

Curiosity led someone to step forward, touching the person in front whose light beam had already broken.

In an instant, what seemed unchanged before disintegrated like quicksand, but nothing fell to the ground as they completely vanished in midair!

And almost as if triggered, the surrounding individuals, those linked by beams before, dissolved like they were made of quicksand, rapidly evaporating without leaving a trace!

In the blink of an eye, the hundreds who had attacked Ye Luo, those who surrounded him, vanished without a trace!

Even the Junior City Lord’s exotic beast mount did the same!

At this moment, everyone turned pale with terror, no one daring to even glance at Ye Luo!
