Chapter 6: The Divine Fire Emperor Sword
Jiang Ziyao looked at Jin Xuan, who was staring wide-eyed, and said with a smile: "Zi said: A gentleman is reserved but not fighting, and the group is not a party." Why do you need to compete with others to win? Cultivate first-order killing skills, and no one will rob me. ”
"You, you...... I can't tell you, you big idiot. Jin Xuan stomped her foot angrily, "You talk nonsense all day long about those people who others don't understand, and I don't care about it." But you know, this is your once-in-a-lifetime chance!"
Jiang Ziyao nodded and said, "So I'm working hard." ”
"Desperately cultivating your so-called first-order killing technique?"
"yes, I love the assassin skills I've practiced. ”
"You ......" Jin Xuan wanted to say something, but suddenly loosened her tense expression, "Forget it, you don't care yourself." Why should I bother with you? I'm not one of you. ”
Seeing that Jin Xuan was a little angry, Aster said, "Xiaoxuan, don't be angry. Maybe Zi Yao's cultivation of the first-order killing technique was unusual? He must have his own reasons. ”
"No matter how unusual it is, it's only a first-order killing skill...... Alas, I don't care. He can do whatever he likes, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
That being said. But Jin Xuan was still very unhappy and pouted her cute little mouth and poked in the rice with chopsticks to express her dissatisfaction.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Zi Wan asked Jiang Ziyao with a smile: "Didn't Elder Stardust ask you to learn second-order or higher killing techniques?
Jiang Ziyao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There will always be a way." ”
Seeing that he seemed to have a countermeasure, Aster didn't delve into it, and asked, "Then what are you going to do tonight?"
"Maybe it's going to be an all-night stay in the Tibetan Gym. It's only twenty-four hours, and I'll have to hurry. ”
"Hurry up and cultivate your tattered first-order killing technique?" Jin Xuan, who didn't want to talk to Jiang Ziyao, couldn't help but squeeze again.
"That's right!" Jiang Ziyao smiled brightly.
"You can still laugh!" Jin Xuan snorted and said angrily: "I really want to tear up your unmotivated face!"
......
Dinner ended happily not long after. Jiang Ziyao returned to the Tibetan Technique Pavilion and continued to practice the Divine Speed Drawing Technique.
This time, I practiced for four hours. But Jiang Ziyao still didn't succeed in cultivating. The Eastern Emperor Sword Technique, which was under the banner of a first-order killing technique, was actually much more difficult to cultivate than other first-order killing skills.
Considering that the Eastern Emperor Sword Technique would be able to exert the power of a tenth-order killing technique in the future, Jiang Ziyao believed that the difficulty of acquiring this killing technique was at least tenth-order. If you want to learn a tenth-order killing technique in one day, it is really difficult to reach the blue sky.
Luckily, he didn't plan to learn all the moves in twenty-four hours. His goal was just to learn the starting style first, and draw the knife quickly.
A night passed quickly. Jiang Ziyao still took the trouble to repeat the action of drawing the knife. When the first rays of sunlight in the morning poured into the cultivation ground, the wooden knife was waved again.
Listening to a loud chant of "hum", an invisible sword qi suddenly flew out, cutting the wooden stake in front of him in half!
"It's successful! The starting style of the Eastern Emperor Sword Technique has finally been successfully cultivated!"
Jiang Ziyao carefully looked at the neat cuts on the stake and was sure of one thing: after drawing the knife, the attack damage increased by ten percent was not a lie.
With his current strength, even if he poured his true qi into the wooden knife, he might not be able to cut such a smooth cut in the wooden stake. This can only show that the bonus of the Divine Speed Drawing Technique has an effect.
"Handsome! It's a small step forward from becoming a top assassin. Jiang Ziyao looked up at the ceiling, and his heart was happy.
It is estimated that those inner court disciples are still fighting to the death for a mere second- and third-order killing technique. No one had time to go down here to grab a first-order killing skill. Moreover, the first-order killing technique of the first layer was not taken seriously by those masters at all.
That's just right. As always, he kept a low profile, concentrating on the first floor of the Tibetan Technology Pavilion for twenty-four hours.
......
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Ziyao was almost in the Tibetan Technology Pavilion, so he went to the entrance to go through the formalities of leaving the pavilion.
Seeing those new assassin disciples who had learned the third-order killing technique, their faces were full of joy, Jiang Ziyao couldn't help but smile slightly, hiding his merit and fame.
It's just a third-order killing technique, and I'm so happy that I feel as if I've already married the goddess of Aster. This makes him, a winner in life who has already started the Donghuang Sword Technique, embarrassed?
Forget it, low-key, to keep low-key gorgeous, just steal the fun yourself, don't pay attention to these unpromising guys.
Returning to the House of Elders, under the detailed questioning of Elder Xingchen, Jiang Ziyao truthfully told the situation of the Eastern Emperor Sword Technique and demonstrated it on the spot.
After understanding the general situation, Elder Stardust nodded with a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to actually learn the Eastern Emperor Sword Technique that the Heavenly Monarch placed in the Tibetan Technology Pavilion more than ten years ago. It seems to be providential. It just so happens that I have a good thing in my collection. As a teacher, I will be a favor today and give you an assassin weapon. ”
"Assassin weapons?" Jiang Ziyao thought about it, he really didn't have any exclusive blades. However, since he has learned the Donghuang sword technique, his assassin weapon should be a knife.
After a while, Elder Stardust took out a dusty rectangular box and placed it on the table as if he were holding a treasure. Then, he carefully opened the long box.
Jiang Ziyao only saw a delicately crafted Tang knife lying in the box. This knife does not have a blade grid to protect the hand. At first glance, this unsheathed Tang knife looks like a slender and straight pole. It's just that the shape full of classical beauty reveals an unusual mystery.
From the handle to the scabbard, it is all a simple black. But after careful polishing, it is quite shiny. The scabbard is also carved with ornate patterns.
"This is a gift for you. Let's open it and take a look. Seeing that Jiang Ziyao was fascinated, Elder Stardust said with a smile.
Jiang Ziyao curiously picked up this Tang knife with unusual workmanship, and slowly pulled the knife out of its sheath. The silver blade is about three fingers wide. After the sheath was unsheathed, the light was overflowing, and the knife was compelling. What Jiang Ziyao was most concerned about was that there were nine dragon-shaped cracks on the knife body. I don't know who broke it.
Elder Stardust said, "This sword is called the Divine Fire Emperor Knife, and it is the weapon of Xia Yi, who was worshiped as the 'God of Assassins' by people three hundred years ago. ”
"What!" Hearing this, Jiang Ziyao was taken aback.
Xia Yi, the god of assassins, is both a descendant of the god Yi and the ancestor of Jiang Ziyao. Three hundred years ago, with his extraordinary killing skills, he single-handedly pacified the war-torn Yantian Continent and brought peace to the people of Limin. Later generations worshipped him as the god of assassins.
It was also from that era that the Assassins gradually gained the attention of various countries.
Jiang Ziyao never thought that the knife he was holding now was actually the Divine Fire Emperor Knife!
As a descendant of Xia Yi, Jiang Ziyao felt extremely honored at this moment. Back then, Xia Yi held this Divine Fire Emperor Sword in his hand and defeated all the top assassins on the Yantian Continent.
This divine sword, after Xia Yi's death, has disappeared. Even the Yi Divine Clan didn't have any clue about it. I didn't expect it to be in the hands of Elder Stardust.
Seeing that Jiang Ziyao opened his mouth to ask, Elder Stardust said, "Don't ask me how I have this Divine Fire Emperor Sword. When the time comes, I'll tell you naturally. But not now. This Divine Fire Emperor Knife can cooperate with the Eastern Emperor Sword Technique you learned, and it is also a little heart for the teacher to give you. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly pointed to the nine cracks on the knife and asked, "Do you know how these nine cracks are caused?"
Although Jiang Ziyao was very concerned about how Elder Starchen got the Divine Fire Emperor Sword, he still replied excitedly: "Xia Yi dominated the world back then, and almost no one was invincible. The only one who can put him in a bitter battle is a top-tier assassin named Akabane. At that time, Chi Yu held the nine great sword qi in his hand and launched a thrilling duel with Xia Yi. The Divine Fire Emperor Sword was also hit hard in that battle. ”
Elder Stardust nodded and said, "That's right, when these nine cracks are scraped out by those nine sword qi. Now this injured Divine Fire Emperor Knife is almost like a scrap. In order to restore the original divine power of the Divine Fire Emperor Sword, you need to collect nine kinds of sword qi in the Yantian Continent. This is also one of the long-term assignments I have given you. ”
Elder Stardust paused and continued, "These nine kinds of sword qi, namely Pure Jun Sword Qi, Juque Sword Qi, Gongbu Sword Qi, Chengying Sword Qi, Longyuan Sword Qi, Tai'a Sword Qi, Chixiao Sword Qi, Zhanlu Sword Qi and Xuanyuan Sword Qi...... Each sword qi can repair a rift. When you collect all nine kinds of sword qi, this Divine Fire Emperor Sword should be able to restore its original power. ”
Jiang Ziyao asked, "Are they...... Do these nine sword qi still exist in this world?"
Elder Stardust said, "As far as I know, Xia Yi originally hid the nine kinds of sword qi in the nine secret locations of the Yantian Continent. But I'm still investigating which nine they are. I'll tell you to look for it when I have the news. Now you can take this knife and use it. ”
"Thank you, teacher!" Jiang Ziyao bowed gratefully to Elder Stardust.
This Divine Fire Emperor Sword means a lot to him. Xia Yi is not only his ancestor, but also the target he wants to catch up with in this life. Being able to use Xia Yi's Assassin Artifact was a supreme honor for him.
Perhaps at this stage, the injured Divine Fire Emperor Sword is no different from Fan Tie. But as long as the sword qi is found and the cracks are repaired one by one, it will definitely become an assassin's holy weapon that sharpens iron like mud again!
All in all, the Divine Fire Emperor Sword, like the Eastern Emperor Sword, is very much worth looking forward to in the future.
Elder Stardust waved his hand and said to Jiang Ziyao, "I just handed you a stalk." Whether it can be turned into treasure in the future is up to you. Okay, that's it for now. Next, I'll give you the second item of assassin cultivation - hunting ginseng!"
