At the police office.

The energy detector that they had just purchased rang loudly. Energy fluctuations were detected deep in the suburbs. It seemed as if cultivators were in a fierce battle!

While they were not responsible for the battle deep in the suburbs, when there was a large range of energy fluctuations they had to pay attention to it in case accidents happened.

"Is there a beasts' tide?"

"No."

"Use the satellite to check the situation."

"Understood."

The officer looked grim.

Very soon…

The image in the detector was focused somewhere.

It zoomed in.

It zoomed in.

It zoomed in.

Well….

"Who is it?"

A police officer asked.

"Uh…"

The officer looked at the picture deeply before answering after a long while. "From the satellite images, it seemed… seemed like a shower?"

The police officer was confused.

Why is there a shower in the depths of the suburbs?

And it's spreading energy!?

However…

The police officers did not know that in the area that had turned blue from energy, there was a battle within someone's Sea of Consciousness.

It was a brutal battle.

Shus.h.!.+

The black cat got up.

It shook its l.u.s.trous fur. Its pet.i.te body exuded a stifling and awe-inspiring aura which dissipated into every corner of the Sea of Consciousness

The elder trembled.

Why is this creature here?

Lu Ming!

He is merely a five-star!

Why does he have such a creature in his Sea of Consciousness?!

What should I do?

Get on my knees and say "Father"?

Surrender?

No!

This is all wrong!

The elder bit his teeth, shaking himself awake.

He came to his senses. If Lu Ming had someone of this level as his support, he would not need to fight against him! He would directly kill him!

Therefore, it was likely that the black cat was fake.

Right!

That must be it.

The elder was smart to have seen through the lies right away.

"Interesting."

The elder calmed down. "I don't care from which ancient books you got this ancient creature but let me tell you, this is not what it is supposed to look like!"

Shus.h.!.+

The elder swept his sharp gaze over the black cat. Compared to those creatures that he had seen in the ancient books, the more he looked at the black cat, the more he felt something was wrong with it!

"Although you have golden pupils and seem to be majestic…

The elder sneered. "You are after all an illegal imitation!"

"Illegal imitation?"

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

He turned around to look at the black cat.

d.a.m.n!

He did not know that there were illegal imitations of Brother Cat!

"Of course."

The elder sneered. "Do you know what your biggest flaw is?"

"What is it?"

Lu Ming was doubtful.

"Its body!"

The elder was serious. "This type of creature exists in legends. They were very rare. But one thing is certain. They were never castrated eunuch cats!"

"As for your cat…"

The elder swept its gaze over it. "Its fur is not black enough. It is not as l.u.s.trous. Although it seems majestic, I can sense a trace of femininity…

"Haha.

"It seems like an inferior species that was caught in the wild and was castrated!

"Heh.

"How dare a eunuch cat impersonate ancient creatures?!

"You are too naive!"

The elder said proudly.

Shus.h.!.+

There was silence in the Sea of Consciousness.

Lu Ming stole a furtive at Brother Cat and took a step back…

This man was done for!

He was certain!

The man could not tell the cat in the face that it was a eunuch!

He did not even dare to say this to its face…

Wait a minute.

Lu Ming suddenly felt chills run down his spine. He was aware of something and he quickly recited to himself… prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom[1.Core socialist values]…

→_→

Shush~

Shush~

The black cat walked toward the elder.

The footsteps were light, its figure agile.

The elder looked with indifference at the eunuch cat that was an impersonation of an ancient creature. He sensed that something was not right…

Could it really be that type of creature?

Hence…

He instinctively looked toward the black cat's crotch.

Well…

He could not see clearly.

When they were fighting later, he had to spread its legs open to check if it was a eunuch…

This was what the elder had in mind.

Afterward…

Bam!

The black shadow flashed in front of him.

He sensed beams of cold lights flas.h.i.+ng around him and the next second he was divided into several parts, hanging from the walls of the Sea of Consciousness, swaying in the wind…

The elder looked dumbstruck.

This…

What the h.e.l.l was that ability?!

He was a peak six-star. It was impossible for ordinary cultivators to defeat him!

Shus.h.!.+

He re-condensed his figure but he had yet to come to his senses and he saw a black figure flas.h.i.+ng in front of him. He was torn into several parts by a paw and hanging from the wall.

The elder finally realized something.

This black cat…

"You…

"What exactly are you?"

The elder was terrified.

Afterward…

The black cat silently took off the bell at its neck, shook it slightly and the bell became transparent. It then used its paws to shove the elder inside the bell…

Cras.h.!.+

Cras.h.!.+

Cras.h.!.+

The elder's consciousness banged against the crack of the bell.

Ss——

Lu Ming looked at it with horror. He watched helplessly as the elder's normal figure broke into fragments after multiple collisions and he was shoved bit by bit into the bell.

Once, twice, thrice…

Cras.h.!.+

Cras.h.!.+

There were multiple violent collisions in the Sea of Consciousness.

The feeling reminded Lu Ming of the road that had just been repaired near the school. It was similar to the sound the pavement roller made when it filled up and leveled the road. It sounded cruel to him.

Finally.

The consciousness of the elder was shoved through the crack of the bell.

Peace returned to the Sea of Consciousness.

The figure of the elder turned into a ball of light on the bell, leaving only a trace of consciousness behind. He was dumbstruck as he saw how he was trapped inside the bell.

Cras.h.!.+ Cras.h.!.+

He knocked at the bell from inside.

It was useless.

The strange and mysterious bell had become his prison…

Ring—

He felt as if the world changed with every step that the black cat took.

A scary force kept spreading within the bell. He felt that with the violent shaking of the bell, his body was dissipating and his poor consciousness kept on colliding with the bell. Every collision was like h.e.l.l!

Afterward…

Ring—

The black cat ran about happily in the Sea of Consciousness.

The elder was speechless.

Lu Ming was speechless.

After a long while…

The consciousness of the elder dissipated.

That was right…

It disappeared as the cat ran about…

Afterward…

The black cat looked toward Lu Ming as if it wished to continue.

Ss——

Lu Ming breathed in a breath of cold air.

He knew that Brother Cat was powerful. But he had never imagined that it was powerful to that extent! For the cat, defeating a peak six-star was like beating a cuc.u.mber!

"Brother Cat!

"Thank you for coming to my rescue!

"Although the villain who insulted you died, we must stay vigilant. The culprit who spread that rumor has yet to be caught!"

Lu Ming looked solemn. He betrayed Xiao-Xiaojian without any hesitation.

The black cat narrowed its eyes.

That was right.

The culprit…

"I will catch it and bring it to you."

Lu Ming looked solemn.

Hence…

He left the Sea of Consciousness and returned to reality.

Whoosh—

He had had the fright of his life.

Lu Ming barely heaved a sigh of relief.

He did not expect that Brother Cat would be that irritable… The elder had merely called it a eunuch cat and he was tortured to death. It was a terrible sight!

Tsk tsk…

True enough.

Everyone had their triggers.

For example, he could not take it when others said that he was handsome. It was annoying if someone said it to him everyday. He knew very well that he was handsome!

Now it seemed that it was the same for Brother Cat.

It seemed that…

In the future, he had to refrain from saying "eunuch" in front of Brother Cat. After all, it was not good to expose people's insecurities. This was the same for cats. Of course, as Brother Cat was angry now…

Hehe.

Lu Ming pulled out the Sky Water Sword from the elder's body.

"Well… s.l.u.t!

"Come out!"

Lu Ming said with a smile.

Buzz—

Faint energy flashed and the Sky Water Sword was suspended.

Yes, as the sword spirit of the Sky Water Sword, Xiao-Xiaojian could naturally control it.

However…

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming only touched the Sky Water Sword and a brilliant light exploded, a mysterious force seemed to loom between the Sky Water Sword and him!

Buzz—

Buzz—

Powerful lights dazzled.

"You have come…"

The Sky Water Sword said indifferently.

Its voice sounded awe-inspiring like someone from ancient times. It sounded quite ethereal. It resembled the powerful sound card that online anchors always used.

"Have you recovered your memory?"

Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes.

"Sky Water Sword can recognize its master!

"I have naturally regained my memory."

The Sky Water Sword sighed and said gloomily, "I have remembered some things… North Tayunma Clan is the guardian of Sky Water Sword and quietly waits for the next master to appear. I never expected that he would steal what was entrusted to his care and s.n.a.t.c.h the Sky Water Sword. He is really despicable!"

"Guardian…"

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

It seemed that the elder had been through things in the past. However, all of these had nothing to do with him. Right now, he was more concerned about Xiao-Xiaojian!

"Who are you now?"

Lu Ming asked.

"I don't know."

Sky Water Sword sighed. "I thought that I would always remain a card spirit. I never expected that Sky Water Sword would be awakened and that I would be summoned back by force, and my memory has returned to me.

"I…

"Am no longer the original me."

Its ethereal voice reverberated in the darkness.

That was right.

Its memories had returned.

Countless years of memories had returned. They had drowned out the memories it had made in the Sword Card Master a.s.sociation…

Who… was it?

Lu Ming became silent.

He felt the slight ethereality of the Sky Water Sword. There was a trace of an ancient aura. He never expected that this battle would end in this manner!

Xiao-Xiaojian…

It seemed that it would not be coming back?

"However…

"Although we did not spend a lot of time together, I can tell that you are no ordinary man.

"Although I have just woken up, I will still need to choose a master.

"As for you, you are a good choice.

"Xiao-Xiaojian is me and I am Xiao-Xiaojian. If you are willing, I will sign an equality contract with you. The Sky Water Sword will still be in your hands!"

The Sky Water Sword said calmly.

Yes.

After all, it still had to choose a master.

The Sky Water Sword was still a sword.

As for it…

It was still a sword spirit.

"Understood."

Lu Ming sighed.

Was Xiao-Xiaojian really gone?

"It is fate that the two of us met."

Sky Water Sword sounded calm. "This is the reason why I led this person to you. The black cat is extraordinary. It will be able to finish off that person easily."

"I understand."

Lu Ming had made up his mind.

He never suspected Xiao-Xiaojian of this.

The reason was simple. Xiao-Xiaojian and him deduced the final version of the Art of Equalization together! Xiao-Xiaojian knew the way. If it had really betrayed him…

There was no need to bring the man to him!

It could directly impart the way to the elder.

He believed in Xiao-Xiaojian.

He believed in his judgment.

Of course.

Now that Sky Water Sword could summon Xiao-Xiaojian by force, there were potential complications! Lu Ming had to resolve them! However, he never expected that after defeating the hidden danger…

Xiao-Xiaojian would be gone.

Was this a blessing or a curse?

At this moment, the annoying sound of Xiao-Xiaojian as well as the daily troubles it had caused seemed like good memories to him. That card…

Lu Ming felt sad.

…

"Come on," the Sky Water Sword said calmly.

Compared with Xiao-Xiaojian, as an ancient Excalibur, Sky Water Sword was calmer. Xiao-Xiaojian could not be compared to its aura.

This was the ancient Excalibur!

Perhaps…

This was Xiao-Xiaojian's real self!

Buzz—

Buzz—

Lights flashed on the Sky Water Sword.

The equality contract drew lines in the air.

Lu Ming instinctively lifted his hand and was about to touch it when he felt a chill from his Sea of Consciousness. A cold murderous intent cut across the Sea of Consciousness.

Eh?

Lu Ming's heart jumped a beat.

He instinctively looked toward it.

There, the black cat had gotten up once again, all of its fur standing on end.

The murderous intentions were obvious.

Lu Ming was puzzled. What was wrong with Brother Cat?!

To be honest, if he did not understand Brother Cat's situation, he would have thought that Brother Cat was in a grumpy mood due to its period! Brother Cat was supposed to be an elegant cat!

It was very lazy as well!

Cats like this would not be that furious.

Hence…

Lu Ming looked in the direction that Brother Cat was looking at and felt alarmed.

Over there was a familiar subt.i.tle on the screen that Brother Cat had created initially.

It said:

"Hahahaha!

"The fool, Lu Ming has been tricked! Hahahaha! Didn't he brag that he was very smart? Humph! After signing the equality contract, he will no longer be able to beat me!

"I, the big boss, am so much smarter!

"Yes!

"There is that stupid eunuch cat as well!

"Hehe.

"It is obviously an eunuch cat yet it pretended to be a big tailed wolf!

"You might be from ancient times, but so am I. Who gives you the right to be high and mighty?!

"Humph!

"You are merely the earliest to hook up with Lu Ming!

"You were merely lucky to be able to recover slightly faster than me, the big boss!

"Just wait!

"As long as Lu Ming signs the contract, I will regain my combat abilities. The Sky Water Sword will be powerful once again. And then, I will castrate you again. Hahahahaha!

"I am the ancient sword spirit. Waka Waka!

"There is the lovely Xiao-Xiaobai as well. I will be back very soon!

"Hurry!

"Sign the contract!"

…

Shus.h.!.+

Shus.h.!.+

The subt.i.tles flashed by at the speed of lightning.

Lu Ming was taken aback.

Before his eyes, the flas.h.i.+ng subt.i.tles seemed to reveal a certain urgency.

Well….

There was the frosty coldness in the Sea of Consciousness.

Lu Ming was silent for a long time.

Seriously…

Just then, he might have been sad that Xiao-Xiaojian had disappeared but now he could only sigh for Xiao-Xiaojian who had done itself in.

This card… it was indeed courting death!

Shus.h.!.+

Shus.h.!.+

He stared at the flas.h.i.+ng subt.i.tles in front of him.

And he looked at Brother Cat whose fur was standing on end, as well as its numbed calm. He noticed that under its s.e.xy whiskers, there was a strange smile.

Lu Ming was certain that Xiao-Xiaojian was dead meat for sure!
