"What does it mean to be out of control for a moment? Even if it's just for a moment, but what about later? The more times you use the Xuanyuan Sword, the more severely it will be counterattacked, and it may be okay for a while, but what if it takes a little longer? Even a minute is enough to cause consequences that you don't want to see! Anya said with a solemn face.

Su Qiubai smiled bitterly and said, "That's why I sued you about this matter." If one day I really get completely out of control, I hope you can kill me before I do those things. ”

Anya immediately shook her head and said, "Impossible! Do you think I can do it? And you can kill this possibility in the cradle, why wait until the situation is irreparable to end this qiē with death? I know you're a good person, but you can't afford to sacrifice yourself to save everyone, right? ”

Su Qiubai saw that her expression was very serious, and knew that she was worried about herself, so she smiled and comforted: "How can you be so strict as you say?" You also said that Zhou Shen is not powerful to that extent, although the Xuanyuan Sword has a counter-devouring effect, it is not so fast. Looking at the current speed of progress of the evil qi in my body, I will not be completely controlled by it until I get rid of Zhou Shen. At that time, it will not be too late for me to find a way to expel the evil qi from my body. ”

Anya's mind was so clever that she could see at a glance that he was comforting herself, so she said, "If you were really so sure, you wouldn't have told me about this today." I know that if you can carry anything by yourself, you will never sue us. But this time it's not child's play, no one knows if you can recover after being eaten by the artifact, at least you have no countermeasures now, right? ”

Su Qiubai stopped speaking when he heard this, because his mind was guessed correctly by Anya.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Anya reached out to grab the Xuanyuan sword in his hand, and said, "I'll help you keep this sword first, and when Zhou Shen's matter is resolved, I'll return it to you." I can't see you risk your life anymore! ”

Su Qiubai refused to give it to her, and said hurriedly: "Xiaoya, don't make trouble, without Xuanyuan Sword, how can I deal with Zhou Shen?" Do you want to watch Jiang Hai be destroyed by his puppet? ”

"I'll figure out a way with you about Zhou Shen's affairs, but you can't hold the Xuanyuan Sword anymore, even if Jiang Hai is really destroyed, I can't let you go to death!" Anya said, but the sword in her hand did not let go.

Su Qiubai was stunned when he heard this, he knew that Anya was also a kind-hearted person, and he would never want to watch so many innocent people die tragically at the hands of puppets, but among him and others, Anya chose to protect his life without hesitation, such a deep affection, he had never found out before.

Su Qiubai unconsciously let go of the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, and Anya took the opportunity to wrap the sword, held it in her arms, and said to him: "Don't worry, I will never covet your artifact, I just keep it for you temporarily." When it's over, I'll pay it back to you. ”

Su Qiubai was stunned for a long time before saying, "I have never doubted this, but without a weapon, what do you want me to use against the puppet?" You may not know it, but psychic attacks have no effect on them. ”

Anya lowered her head and thought about it, and said, "I have also thought about this matter carefully before, and I think that the attack of spiritual power is not ineffective against them, but it is not the effect you think. Isn't this monster invulnerable? Ordinary weapons can't hurt them, of course, but if you attach spiritual power to a weapon, you can break its armor and kill it. The Xuanyuan Sword was born with supreme spiritual power, so it was a sharp weapon for them. But without the Xuanyuan Sword, it is not impossible to deal with them. ”

Su Qiubai frowned when he heard this, he hadn't thought about this before, because the only weapon that could be used by his side was the Xuanyuan Sword, so he didn't think about other weapons. At this time, listening to Anya's words, with his cultivation, even if he uses an ordinary sword, he may not be able to kill the puppet, but it consumes more spiritual power.

Seeing that he understood what he meant, Anya continued: "Tomorrow we will go to the knife shop to have a look, maybe there will be a weapon to take advantage of." You're tired for a day today, hurry up and rest, I'll put away the Xuanyuan Sword first. ”

After Anya finished speaking, she took the Xuanyuan Sword and left Su Qiubai's room, not even leaving him a chance to object.

When it was quiet at this time, Su Qiubai remembered that he was out of control for the moment before, and he was indeed a little afraid. If he had sobered up later, maybe he would have really made a move on Anya, and he would not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life. Therefore, it is not a good thing to let Anya put away the sword, as for Zhou Shen, he should not show up for the time being, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

Early the next morning, Anya accompanied Su Qiubai out of the door, ready to buy new knives. As soon as they walked to the street, they felt a completely different atmosphere from usual, the originally busy streets, at this time there was silence, only half an hour to see one or two cars drive by, and there were few pedestrians, and they were all in a hurry, looking very anxious.

"Last night, the municipal department issued a temporary emergency notice, starting from today, all units in the city will start holidays, and also remind the public to minimize travel, it seems that they are also aware of the severity of the situation." Anya explained to Su Qiubai.

Su Qiubai nodded, he had heard Li Weiqing mention this matter yesterday, although the city's holiday would cause a lot of losses to the economy of Jianghai City, but this was also the only way at present.

Anya took Su Qiubai directly to the largest knife store in Jianghai City, where there are a complete range of knives, up to the armies of various countries. Knives, down to fruit knives, can be bought here.

Most of the knives sold here are not used in ordinary people's daily lives, and the shops look deserted because the people of the world are living at home to escape the disaster.

As soon as Su Qiubai entered the door, the boss sitting at the counter noticed him, with a look of recognition but uncertainty on his face, and only said after a while: "This gentleman, take the liberty of asking, are you the hero who captured monsters on the news yesterday?" ”

Su Qiubai was stunned when he heard this, this matter was actually on the news? It seems that the media's attitude towards this matter has changed greatly from the past, and instead of suppressing the spread of the news, it has helped to promote it. However, most of the purpose of their pushing Su Qiubai out was also to calm people's hearts, so they would inevitably exaggerate his heroic image even more, which he hadn't thought about before.

"I can't talk about heroes yet, I'm just doing my best." Su Qiubai said modestly to the boss.

The boss saw that he didn't recognize the wrong person, and immediately became even more pleased, walked directly from the counter, grabbed Su Qiubai's arm and said: "I watched the video on the news, the hero's skills are really amazing, with you, we ordinary people will be much more relieved, otherwise the monster will make trouble, and I really don't know what the consequences will be." ”

It seems that the media propaganda is still effective, at least the citizens are not as panicked as he expected.

"By the way, hero, that weapon you made is not an ordinary thing, is it? Can you lend me a look? I don't mean anything else, it's just that I've been interested in swords and other weapons since I was a child, and I always want to take a look at them when I meet them that I haven't seen before, and I hope that heroes won't be surprised. Seeing that Su Qiubai didn't speak, the boss said embarrassedly.

Su Qiubai saw that he finally got to the point, so he said, "That sword can't be used for some reason, so I didn't bring it with me." That's why I want to come to your store to see if there are any weapons in hand, I wonder if the boss has any recommendations? ”

The boss was a little disappointed at first, but when he heard that Su Qiubai was going to come to his store to buy weapons, he suddenly came to his senses again, and enthusiastically introduced: "Then you can be regarded as the right one, when it comes to the collection of swords, in this Jianghai City, I call it second, and no one dares to call it first." Don't know what type of hero wants? ”

"My surname is Su, don't call me a hero, it's awkward." Su Qiubai said helplessly.

"To deal with those monsters, I use more chopping moves, or knives are the most suitable, preferably heavier, not too clumsy, the sharper the better." Su Qiubai thought about it and put forward his own request.

The boss thought for a while and said, "It seems that these modern knives can't meet your requirements, Mr. Su, please come with me, and I will take you to see my treasures over the years." ”

As he spoke, the boss turned around and closed the door before leading the two of them to the inner room.

Most of the knives he usually sells are displayed in a few shops outside, but this inner room is never allowed to outsiders to enter casually. Su Qiubai and Anya walked in and found that this was also a small showroom, and there were not many things in it, some of them were hung on the wall, and some were placed on the shelves, but at first glance, they were different from the things outside, because most of these were antiquities of some years.

Su Qiubai took a cursory glance and found that there were various types of ancient knives in this showroom, even antique copper knives from the pre-Qin period, which were priceless treasures, but they couldn't be used.

"What's the matter, there should be something here that Mr. Su can use, right?" The boss asked with a smug look on his face.

Su Qiubai said noncommittally: "This should be all your treasured treasures, are you really willing to sell them?" ”

The boss smiled and said, "We'll talk about this later, Mr. Su might as well go and choose first." ”

Su Qiubai didn't speak, but turned around and walked forward, carefully looking at the ancient knife in the showroom, and picking it up from time to time to play with it.

The value of antiques is not in their usability, so most of the ancient knives here are unusable in Su Qiubai's opinion, and some are even easy to break because of improper maintenance. In addition, there are various forms of knives here, and many of them do not meet his requirements.
