Chapter 256: This is how you fly with a sword!_1

"With the power of the jade-hilted iron sword, there's really no need for Five Elements runes or such. The only useful thing about these runes is that they allow me to control it better."

"Half for floating runes and half for moving runes."

The jade-hilted iron sword was mighty beyond all, Li Ming couldn't evoke its true power. Rather than using Five Elements runes or those that augment raw power, it's much suitable to use the basic control runes to better handle it.

"Once I've etched these, I should be able to genuinely control the sword in flight."

Expectation arose in Li Ming's heart as he flipped over the jade-hilted iron sword and commenced solemnly etching runes on its side.

On this side, he only etched one rune, the floating rune.

Fortunately, after constant practice, Li Ming could inscribe with an exceptionally small stroke, which, once he settled down, made the etching process swift.

He used the finest jade dust to etch ninety-nine lines before finally stopping.
