Chapter 8: Is the Martial God Human?
Guigu.
Master Guigu raised his head, gazing at the uniquely shaped and imposing Evil-Repelling Sword manifested on the Divine Sword List. His crisscrossing eyes seemed to foresee the future.
“The Evil-Repelling Sword appears, the world is in chaos. Such a demonic sword, I wonder how much bloodshed it will cause.”
Master Guigu sighed softly.
He could already imagine how the ambitious people of the world would fight tooth and nail for the Evil-Repelling Sword, with corpses filling the fields and blood flowing like a river.
No ambitious person could resist the temptation of such a demonic sword that could control people’s minds.
“Martial God? Who exactly is it?”
“To possess a treasure is to invite disaster. It won’t be easy to hold onto the Evil-Repelling Sword…”
Master Guigu’s voice was ethereal. He felt a great interest in this Martial God who had suddenly appeared.
◈◈◈
Little Sage Manor.
Scripture Pavilion.
A glint flashed in the eyes of Zhang Liang, the third-in-command of the Confucian School. His family had served as chancellors in the Han State for five generations, but now his country was destroyed and his family was ruined.
His wish in this life was to overthrow the tyrannical Qin and restore the Han State.
And to restore his country, Ying Zheng must die.
If Ying Zheng doesn’t die.
It will be difficult to restore the Han State.
He had been preparing a plan to assassinate Ying Zheng.
But to kill Ying Zheng.
It was difficult, so very difficult.
If he had the Evil-Repelling Sword…
It would be twice as effective.
Even restoring the country would no longer be a distant dream.
“I must find the Evil-Repelling Sword!”
Zhang Liang vowed in his heart, “I wonder what kind of person the Martial God is? If I could persuade him to join the anti-Qin cause, overthrowing the tyrannical Qin would be just around the corner.”
A Martial God who could possess two of the top ten divine swords on the Divine Sword List was definitely not an ordinary person.
How could an ordinary person dare to use the name of Martial God?
He didn’t want a direct conflict with him.
He, Zhang Liang, was good at persuading with reason.
Not by force.
◈◈◈
The Military School.
The Xiang Clan.
A glint flashed in Xiang Liang’s eyes as he stared intently at the Evil-Repelling Sword projected on the Divine Sword List:
“If I could obtain the Evil-Repelling Sword and master the Evil-Repelling Three Styles, I could control the world’s experts for my own use. Combined with my Military School’s battle formations, overthrowing the tyrannical Qin would be just around the corner!”
“Uncle, the Evil-Repelling Sword is just a demonic sword. Controlling others is not a proper path. In the face of absolute power, everything is just clay chickens and pottery dogs!”
Xiang Yu held his Overlord Spear, slamming it heavily on the ground, causing the earth to tremble. He didn’t care about the Evil-Repelling Sword at all.
In his heart, with the spear in his hand, he could sweep across the world.
In his view, controlling others with the Evil-Repelling Sword was just a side path, not worthy of being on the main stage.
He, Xiang Yu, was a peerless hero and disdained such methods.
“Yu’er, human strength has its limits. As a leader, the important thing is to use people. No matter how powerful you are in charging into battle, it’s just the bravery of a common man.”
Xiang Liang looked helpless, and said earnestly, “Knowing how to use people is the only way to achieve great things!”
“I know!”
Xiang Yu replied impatiently.
Xiang Liang sighed in his heart, knowing that Xiang Yu hadn’t listened at all.
He could only teach him slowly, but he was determined to find the Evil-Repelling Sword.
Even if he didn’t use it himself, he couldn’t let it fall into the hands of others.

Inside Xianyang Palace.
“What an interesting demonic sword.”
Ying Zheng’s voice was deep and powerful, revealing no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. However, there was no fear on his face. As the First Emperor who unified the six states, he would not be afraid of a sword.
He had that kind of courage.
Zhao Gao heard this and fell to his knees with a thud, trembling with fear:
“Your Majesty, please rest assured, this servant will definitely find the Martial God and offer the Evil-Repelling Sword. Only Your Majesty’s True Dragon Qi can suppress such a demonic sword. If it is left outside, it will surely bring chaos to the world!”
◈◈◈
“No rush. Since the Evil-Repelling Sword is already so powerful, I am even more eager to see the divine swords ahead of it on the Divine Sword List!”
Ying Zheng’s gaze was deep and majestic.
A strange demonic sword like the Evil-Repelling Sword.
Was a great threat to him.
Although he wasn’t afraid, he had to control it himself.
A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.
A son of a thousand gold does not sit under a collapsing roof.
Especially the First Emperor.
As for the Peerless Sword, although it was ranked tenth, Ying Zheng did not take it to heart.

Even if a powerful person held the Peerless Sword, it was impossible to break through the heavily guarded and impregnable imperial palace and assassinate him.
This was his confidence in the Great Qin Iron Cavalry and his guards.
But the Evil-Repelling Sword was an exception.
The method of controlling people’s minds was too strange.
If the enemy controlled the guards around him, controlled the ministers around him, or even his concubines, and then suddenly assassinated him.
No matter how tight the security around him was, it would be impossible to defend against.
But since the Evil-Repelling Sword was so strange and only ranked ninth.
He was even more interested in the divine swords ahead of it.
At this moment, the eighth divine sword appeared on the Divine Sword List.
【Divine Sword List】
【Eighth Place, Fire Kirin Sword】
【Holder: Martial God】
【Description: Made by embedding the scales of the divine beast Fire Kirin into a sword. The scales on the Fire Kirin Sword can generate an incredible power, helping the wielder to increase their power.
The longer the sword is held, the more it will cause the sword to control the wielder’s mind, causing demonic thoughts to arise, making it difficult to extricate oneself, unless one’s mind is clear, can one control it. 】
【Reward: A bag of High-Grade Heaven-Rank spiritual item, Blood Bodhi, a rare fruit born from the blood of the Fire Kirin, which can heal serious injuries and increase power if there are no injuries. 】
Everyone was stunned when they saw the eighth divine sword.
It was the Martial God again.
Among the top ten on the Divine Sword List, the Martial God actually occupied three spots.
Did he want to leave anyone else alive?
However, what made them even more unbelievable was.
The next divine swords, ranked seventh and sixth.
Were actually, again and again, the Martial God.
【Divine Sword List】
【Seventh Place, Sky Fury Sword】
【Holder: Martial God】
【Description: A bloodthirsty sword. The more blood it drinks, the stronger its sword qi becomes. It will also actively ambush those with a strong domineering aura. When the user’s domineering aura is weaker than the sword, they will suffer a backlash from the sword. 】
【Reward: High-Grade Heaven-Rank 《Sky Fury Heart Sutra》, which can inspire the wielder’s domineering aura and demonic nature. Combined with the Sky Fury Sword, its power is endless. The combination of the two is the most evil sword technique in the world. 】
【Sixth Place, Hero Sword】
【Holder: Martial God】
【Description: Forged from a semi-stone and semi-copper bronze stone, it is filled with righteousness, and its heroic spirit will last forever. It is the most solid, unyielding, righteous, and principled hero sword in the world. 】
【Reward: High-Grade Heaven-Rank 《Nameless Sword Manual》. As long as someone with a natural “sword” affinity obtains this Nameless Sword Manual, they will be able to understand the opponent’s swordsmanship in one or two moves, and fully grasp the essence of the opponent’s swordsmanship. Furthermore, they can use the Nameless Sword Manual to deduce the opponent’s progress in swordsmanship. If the opponent has ten sword techniques, then if the true meaning of their swordsmanship is understood using the Nameless Sword Manual, it is possible to create a stronger eleventh sword than their ten sword techniques! 】
“How is this possible?”
“Who exactly is the Martial God?”
“Does he have a divine sword collecting hobby?”
“He actually occupied five of the top ten spots on the Divine Sword List. Is he even human?”
“Could the Martial God really be a god?”
“I suddenly have a bold idea…”
“No, it’s impossible. I don’t believe the Martial God can really occupy all of the top ten spots on the Divine Sword List!”
“That’s right, do you think the Martial God is really a god?”
“If the Martial God can really occupy all of the top ten spots on the Divine Sword List, I’ll eat shit upside down!”
