Capítulo 1273: Chapter 1271: King’s Sword Mark!

Duan Li stood confidently, a smile of assurance on his face. When the curiosity of the crowd reached its peak, he slowly took out the second treasure from his Storage Ring.

“What, a wooden statue? What’s so special about that?”

The crowd was instantly puzzled when they saw Duan Li take out a three-foot-tall wooden statue.

However, the elders of Divine Sword Manor felt their hearts race, their eyes revealing astonishing gleams.

“This is!”

Even Lin Xuan was greatly surprised. He squinted his eyes, staring intently at the front, his gaze flickering.

It was indeed a wooden statue, but it was not an ordinary sculpture. There were three sword marks on it.

Those three sword marks weren’t deep, but they contained an extremely mysterious power.

“This aura, could these be the sword marks left by a King?”

Lin Xuan frowned, not expecting the Duan Family to bring out such a treasure.

“These are indeed sword marks left by a King. I never thought the Duan Family would be so willing to pay such a high price.”

Beside him, the Ninth Elder’s expression also turned unpleasant.

If they didn’t have a Longevity Pill that could extend life, they might really lose this time.

Sword marks left by a King are something no swordsman can resist.

Sure enough, when Master Xia saw that wooden statue, he abruptly stood up.

His gaze, as sharp as a sword, was fixed on the statue: “Could these sword marks be left by a King?”

“Master Xia is indeed formidable, he saw through the crucial point at a glance!”

Duan Li smiled and said, “That’s right, these three sword marks were indeed left by a King.”

“Moreover, they were left by the renowned Iron Sword King of the past on the Heavenly Martial Continent.”

“What, sword marks left by the Iron Sword King!” Instantly, the elders and martial artists of the various major forces were all shocked.

It’s known that on the Heavenly Martial Continent, a King represents the highest combat power.

Anything belonging to a King is the most mysterious and precious!

They never expected that at this birthday banquet, they could witness sword marks left by a King with their own eyes.

This gift is indeed too precious, far surpassing the previous Wind-cutting Sword.

Moreover, the stories about the Iron Sword King are well known among these prominent families.

The Iron Sword King was a legend, with just an iron sword, he rose singlehandedly from the lowest rung, fought his way through, and eventually became a Sword King.

It’s an incredibly inspiring and heartfelt story, but no one expected to see the sword marks of the Iron Sword King today,

“Master Xia, do you like this gift?”

“Like it, I really like it! Mr. Duan has a thoughtful intention!” Master Xia laughed heartily.

His cultivation was high, but still fell short compared to the Sword Venerate of the past. Now he had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, making it hard for him to advance further.

But now he saw hope. With these three sword marks, he believed his cultivation could break through once more.

Perhaps, in the future, he could achieve heights that even the Sword Venerate never reached, becoming a Sword King.

Seeing Master Xia’s expression, Duan Li also smiled with satisfaction.

It seems that his second gift was indeed excellent, moving Master Xia.

It seemed that the alliance should be a done deal, but Duan Li wasn’t planning to stop there. Instead, he set the wooden statue aside once again.

“No rush, I still have a third treasure here.”

“What, there’s another treasure!”

The crowd was stunned. These two treasures were already extremely precious, especially the second one, which could be considered a rare treasure.

They didn’t expect it to be over yet, as Duan Li was about to present a third treasure!

Anything worthy of being a final treasure must be even more extraordinary!

Thinking of this, everyone’s hearts burned with excitement and anticipation.

Lin Xuan nodded as well. Indeed, the first two treasures were incredibly alluring, so the third one must be extraordinary too.

No wonder the Duan Family has so many great things in their possession!

This time, Duan Li took out a square box from the Storage Ring, slowly opened it, revealing a golden elixir pill inside.

“I presume everyone has heard of the supreme divine medicine of my Duan Family, the Undying Golden Pill.”

“As long as there’s a single breath left, no matter how severe the injury, you can recover immediately.”

“What? It’s that miraculous Undying Golden Pill! Could the third treasure be the Undying Golden Pill?”

The crowd boiled with excitement. They had heard of the effects of the Undying Golden Pill, and many had even seen it with their own eyes. It truly was a rare divine medicine.

However, only the Duan Family held this divine pill, and only a very few top members of the Duan Family had access to it. They never expected such a precious pill to be gifted to the Divine Sword Manor today.

The elders of Divine Sword Manor were also red-eyed, their breaths heavy.

The first two treasures were already very precious, but they didn’t expect the third to be even more valuable.

With this pill in hand, it undoubtedly meant having one more life.

Therefore, they looked forward with intense, fiery gazes.

Master Xia’s heart was also shaken, a wave of joy surged within him. Divine Sword Manor didn’t have such a divine pill.

Then, like recalling something, he quickly asked, “Can this Undying Golden Pill heal someone on the brink of death?”

“That depends on the situation. If it’s severe injuries bringing them close to death, then it can definitely heal. But if it’s natural death, then it’s powerless.”

“After all, life and death are part of reincarnation, aligned with the Heavenly Dao, and cannot be defied.”

Duan Li also knew about the matter concerning the Sword Venerate, so he could only answer truthfully.

Hearing this, Master Xia sighed softly. Indeed, it couldn’t heal the Sword Venerate.

However, as fate is so, it cannot be defied. Even if he felt loss, there was nothing he could do. This Undying Golden Pill is already a supreme divine pill!

Three treasures hovering in the void, each one shocking. Now all three, presented together to Divine Sword Manor, could be described as a grand gift.

Even if Divine Sword Manor is a top-rated Sixth Grade sect, they couldn’t help but be moved.

Seeing Master Xia accept the three treasures, Duan Li smiled with satisfaction, knowing that with the gifts accepted, the alliance was essentially confirmed.

He just needed to wait for the birthday banquet to end to discuss privately with them.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Lin Xuan with pride, eyes full of provocation.

He sneered, “Oh dear, just a minor disciple from the Duan Family has gifted three treasures. I wonder what Young Master Lin has to offer Divine Sword Manor?”

“I assume it must be a supreme treasure as well. Why not bring it out for us to witness?”

“After all, you are the Young Master of the War God Palace, the gift shouldn’t be too shabby.”

Duan Li sneered disdainfully, his words dripping with sarcasm.

The crowd hearing this also shook their heads continuously.

Indeed, although Lin Xuan suppressed the Duan Family previously, the Duan Family had completely turned the tables, and even stood on the upper hand now.

Because all three treasures were rare, everyone truly couldn’t think of any item Lin Xuan could offer that could rival the Duan Family.

“It seems that in the end, the Duan Family has gained the upper hand in this rivalry.”

“Yes, there’s no way around it. Whether the King’s Sword Mark or the final Undying Golden Pill, both are too precious. It’s practically impossible to find anything else comparable.”

“Lin Xuan’s hope to win over Divine Sword Manor seems bleak.”

The crowd murmured in low tones, all believing Lin Xuan was bound to lose.
