Chapter 65: The Legend of the Seven Star Sword

"The Seven Star Sword, I'm coming!"

Li Yuan was very excited, after all, it was the Seven Star Sword, a sword comparable to the supreme Great Blades, the most important sword in his life!

"Senior Brother, there are marines stationed on the island."

As the ship approached, Kalu used binoculars to see the navy flag rising on the island, indicating there was a navy base there.

"Once we land, eliminate those marines, leave no one behind!"

"Leave half the crew here to guard the ship. Kano, you stay as well, protect Razli and Shaki. The rest of you, come with me to the island!"

Li Yuan instructed.

The Seven Star Sword on the island had some sinister aura. Until it was fully subdued, he didn't plan to let Shaki and Razli get close to it. Who knows if the sword might have some eerie power that could affect the children in their bellies.

For safety's sake, it was better for them to wait on the ship.

"Sister Shaki, did Li Yuan come from the New World to the Four Seas just for this island?"

Kano watched Li Yuan head to the island and couldn't help but ask.

Before Li Yuan came, he never mentioned his purpose, and they never asked. But now that they had reached the destination, Kano's curiosity got the better of him.

"That's right, he came for this island. On this island, there's a sword Li Yuan wants, a demon sword!" Shaki replied.

"A demon sword? It must be a very powerful demon sword then. Could it be comparable to the supreme Great Blades?"

"Yes, it must be. If it weren't comparable to the supreme Great Blades, it wouldn't be worthy of our Senior Brother."

Kano was very excited when he heard Li Yuan came for a sword, as if he himself was the one to obtain it.

"That demon sword is indeed powerful, but whether it reaches the level of the supreme Great Blades, I'm not sure," Shaki said.

"Sister Shaki, can you tell us about that demon sword?"

Razli's curiosity was piqued by Shaki's words, after all, it was the sword Li Yuan desired.

"Long ago, on an ominous night of a red full moon, the three princes of the Kingdom of Asuka first met a beautiful sorceress and all fell in love with her at the same time."

"To win her love, the three princes presented the Seven Star Sword, a symbol of the throne, and waged war to prove who was the rightful prince deserving of her love."

"The war claimed too many lives, causing untold suffering to the people. The land and sea cried out, having absorbed the grief of countless innocents."

"Meanwhile, the Seven Star Sword, having absorbed the hatred and blood of many, attracted slaughter and destruction, becoming a cursed demon sword."

"The Kingdom of Asuka was utterly destroyed because of the demon sword's presence and devastation."

"However, the war and slaughter did not end with the kingdom's fall. In fact, Asuka's destruction marked the true beginning of the killing."

"The cursed demon sword possessed the power to control hearts and used this control to instigate blood sacrifices, leading to endless conflict."

"War spread throughout the sea, turning the beautiful ocean into a world ruled by bloodshed and killing."

"To save the people from war and erase the blood and hatred absorbed by the Seven Star Sword, the sorceress sacrificed her life."

"The three princes, to repay the sorceress they loved, prayed to the gods and received three precious stones from the deities worshipped in Asuka, sealing the power of the Seven Star Sword, ending the war it caused."

Shaki summarized the story.

"A single sword destroyed a kingdom, and even crossed oceans, causing wars and destruction among many nations. Such terrifying power!" Razli found it all somewhat absurd. Could a sword really do all that?

"Truly impressive. This shows the sword spirit of the Seven Star Sword must be extremely strong and bloodthirsty. Such a peerless sword is worthy of Senior Brother!" Kano said, eyes shining.

To others, it was a cursed demon sword, but to a swordsman, it was a peerless treasure. As for being controlled by the demon sword, that was merely because the wielder wasn't strong enough to tame it.

The navy base on Asuka Island was not far from the port.

"Report, Colonel, a large ship has docked at the port, and the people disembarking look very dangerous, all armed with swords and guns."

A soldier reported to the colonel.

"What? Are they pirates?" the colonel asked urgently.

"Not sure. There's no pirate flag on their ship, and we haven't found any bounties related to them."

The soldier replied.

"Never mind, take their photos and send them to headquarters for identification," the colonel said.

"Buzz!!!!!!"

However, before the marines could act, a strong blood-red Conqueror's Haki surged like a tidal wave, engulfing the entire navy base.

Blood-red lightning crackled from the sky, and all the marines in the base, including the strongest colonel, fell unconscious under the overwhelming Haki.

"Kill all the marines in this base," Li Yuan said coldly.

He didn't want the navy to know about his presence on this island.

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Kalu immediately led the crew to finish off the unconscious marines.

"Let's go to the town!"

After dealing with the marines, Li Yuan led his men to the town.

The island was large, otherwise, it wouldn't have accommodated a navy base.

The navy base was close to the port, but civilians were not allowed near it. So even if all the marines were killed, no one would notice.

The town was bustling, lively, and seemed peaceful.

"Senior Brother, where are we going?" Kalu asked.

"To the tavern, of course. The tavern is the best place to gather information."

With that, Li Yuan led them to the largest tavern in the town.

"Hahaha, you can't handle your drink, kid!"

"Miss, come have a drink with me."

"Good wine, good wine!"

"After drinking today, I probably won't be able to come back for days, simply can't afford to enjoy this every day!"

"."

Many people were drinking and chatting in the tavern.
