Steam rose. Inside the bath barrel, Li Dao rubbed the charred black blood off of his body.

After changing into a new set of white clothes and drying his wet hair, he felt much more refreshed.

Walking out of the room, Li Dao felt a lot better.

"Li Dao?"

Jian Xiong covered her mouth. After taking a bath, Li Dao looked like a completely different person.

Li Dao was in a good mood. With the corner of his mouth raised, he asked, "What? You don't recognize me?"

"No, so you're actually so good-looking. And you're even a beautiful man. I wonder how many girls you'll enchant if you walk out there." As she said this, Jian Xiong covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

Li Dao's face darkened. He had never liked others praising his looks. What was the use of having a man's looks? Wasn't it fine as long as he could see through it? What was important was its connotation.

Although Jian Xiong was dressed like a man and had the candid personality of a man, she was still a woman in essence, and all women were controlled by their appearance.

"Alright, I won't joke around with you anymore. I'll take you out for a walk." Jian Xiong stepped forward and grabbed Li Dao's hand, walking forward.

In that instant, Li Dao had the impulse to retract his hand. After thinking for a moment, he decided to let it go.

Jian Xiong's ears were burning and her face was flushed.

Along the way, Jian Xiong spoke a lot. She constantly introduced the scenery of the Sword Crafting City to Li Dao, and Li Dao could only nod helplessly in agreement.

Unknowingly, they had reached the foot of the mountain. Jian Xiong lifted her hair and looked at Li Dao with a gentle gaze.

Li Dao's heart skipped a beat. What was the sole purpose of being a sword master? Usually, only when a woman was in front of a man she liked would she lift the hair by the ears. I treat you as a brother, yet you have such dirty thoughts?

In order to prevent the atmosphere from turning awkward, Li Dao took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Jian Xiong, is there something on this mountain?"

Feeling the strong aura hibernating on the mountain, Li Dao asked as he knocked on the side of the drum.

"You said this mountain is a sword mountain, but it's also a holy mountain of our Sword Crafting City. Our ancestors are buried there, and it's said that there's a sacred beast guarding them."

"Saint Beast?" Li Dao made a long noise. Could it be that the tyrannical aura was that of a Saint Beast?

"Hmm, it is said that Holy Beasts are Fire Phoenixes. They have been protecting the Sword Crafting City since the creation of the city. However, I have never seen one in my entire life. I think it's just a legend. There isn't a phoenix in this world!" Jian Xiong smiled and explained to Li Dao about the holy beasts on the mountain.

Li Dao was shocked in his heart. Even the Fire Phoenix had come up with something. Just what kind of world was this? Could it be that there was a Divine Dragon, Black Tortoise, and Kirin?

As for the legend that Jian Xiong spoke of, Li Dao was basically certain that it was true. That was because just emitting a trace of that dormant aura made him feel oppressed.

"By the way, Jian Xiong, do you know which forces are the most famous in the martial arts world?" Li Dao asked as he rolled his eyes.

Jian Xiong did not doubt it as she replied, "The most powerful force in the martial arts world should be Shangguan Yu Tian's Supreme Alliance, then my Sword Crafting City, then Helian Ba's Sea Shark Palace, then the Viridescent Eagle Castle, the Door of Bitterness, the Thousand Poisons Sect and so on."

The memories that Li Dao had hidden in the depths of his mind were caught. He looked at Jian Xiong and blurted out, "Are you guys forging a Lingshuang Sword?"

After saying that, Li Dao regretted his decision. The Lingshuang Sword Forging City had already been forged for dozens of years. It was a secret and he had yet to make up his mind.

"The Lingshuang Sword is about to be forged. The blue rainbow has appeared, and the date of birth isn't too far away." Jian Xiong sized up Li Dao a few times, but still answered Li Dao's question.

Li Dao had a strange feeling in his heart. Was this Jian Xiong born with big nerves? What was going on? Was he unprepared for people? If he sold her now, she might even have to count the money for him.

"Do you know Yan Zhaofeng?" Li Dao asked.

"Who is Yan Zhaofeng? Is he your friend?" Jian Xiong asked doubtfully.

Li Dao heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "He is a trash. It's fine if you see him from a distance."

"What do you mean, scum man? Are you also a scum man?" Jian Xiong blinked her eyes and looked at Li Dao.

Li Dao laughed and did not explain what a trash man was. Now, he was finally certain that this world was the Demon Sword and the Chess of Life and Death.

Perhaps when he recovered from his injuries, he would go to the Mirror Reflection Lake to take a look at the Life and Death Chess City. There was also another technique that he was going to learn that was so overpowered that it would explode at any moment. It seemed like it was called 'One Sword World'.
