Chapter 9: The Blade of the Scattered Demons

"What specific weapons are there?" Yu Ping asked the dwarf again, "Can you recommend some to me?" preferably the kind that is easy to use..."

"Then it's up to me to help you choose...."The dwarf looked at Yu Ping's confused expression and said directly to him, "You should be a warrior, right?" Do you like short-handled weapons or long-handled weapons?"

"That's... I'm not a full-fledged fighter yet, but I think it's going in that direction...."Yu Ping hesitated for a moment and replied: "As for the long-handled or short-handled weapon....I choose a short-handled weapon, preferably a lighter and sharper one...."

"Understood," the old dwarven man nodded, "Your fighting style seems to be completely different from that of little Sharyl... Her weapon is a two-handed greatsword... The heavy kind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Yu Ping glanced at Sharyl in surprise when he heard this....he didn't expect this very slender looking girl to use this kind of weapon.

After the dwarf knew Yu Ping's request, he led the two of them to the finished room, in front of the weapon display rack in the third row, and said: "The weapons in this row are more in line with your requirements....you can pick them up and try the feel." ā€

Yu Ping didn't hesitate for long....because he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad blades in front of him, so he stretched out his hand to a light blue long knife at the back of the display shelf in this row.

"Wait a minute," the dwarf suddenly stopped Yu Ping's movements, and then said, "That won't work!"

"Huh?" Yu Ping, who didn't react, still picked up the light blue long knife, then turned his head to look at the dwarf behind him and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's not going to work?"

"Don't you....don't you feel it?!" The old dwarf looked at Yu Ping, who was holding a blue long knife, with a shocked expression and shouted, "How is this possible?!"

ā€œ... What's the situation?" Yu Ping was dumbfounded, turned to Sharyl who was walking around on the other display shelves and asked, "That... What's wrong with this old gentleman?"

"....I'm fine," after the initial shock, the old dwarven man named Palu also regained his calm face, and said to Yu Ping, "You give the knife in your hand to little Sharyl, you know why I am so out of shape." ā€

Yu Ping followed his instructions with a blank face, and handed the light blue long knife in his hand to Sharyl, who was holding a giant mace full of hideous teeth, and had just walked back to him.

"I think this thing is good," Sharyl said to Yu Ping, pointing to the mace in her hand, "You can try this stick." ā€

"....Please forgive me for refusing!" The corners of Yu Ping's mouth twitched, looking at Sharyl who was staring at the stick in his hand at the moment, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes from time to time, and said, "Uncle Palu asked me to give you this knife." ā€

"Huh?" Sharyl looked at Palu with a puzzled look on her face, and said, "We are here to choose a weapon for Yu Ping today... Why give it to me?"

"You'll know when you take this knife..."Palu waved his hand and said impatiently, "If the magic pattern on this knife hasn't expired... Then maybe..."

He paused, stared at Yu Ping and said with a hint of anticipation and excitement: "You are the most suitable master of this knife!"

Hearing this, Sharyl obediently took the light blue long knife.

'Bang dang'.

The pale blue knife fell to the ground.

"It's... What's going on?!" Sharyl looked at the pale blue long knife on the ground and said in disbelief: "This knife....will absorb the user's magic power?!"

Seeing this, Palu immediately turned his head to Yu Pingxun and asked, "Why can't the 'Demon Scattering Blade' work on you?!"

"What?!Is this a Demon Scattering Blade?" a look of shock appeared on Sharyl's face, and then a look of surprise turned into a look of surprise.

"Uncle Paru... You just said that the characteristics of the Demon Scattering Blade are not effective against Yu Ping?!"

"....Can anyone help me explain," Yu Ping said with a confused expression, "What the hell is this 'Demon Scattering Blade'...I didn't understand your conversation at all...."

"My vision is really right..."The dwarf Palu said to Yu Ping with a smile, "You are indeed a very lucky guy... Pick it up first, and I'll explain it to you. ā€

He pointed to the pale blue long knife on the ground and motioned for Yu Ping to pick it up.

Yu Ping did so.

"Tsk....it's yours," Palu smacked his lips and began to explain.

"The long knife in your hand is the so-called 'Demon Scattering Blade'....As for the reason why we are so out of shape, it is because of its 'characteristics'....one of its most powerful, but it is also a trait that makes it almost a scrap. ā€

"That's the word 'scattered' in its name. He paused for a moment, then said slowly, "At first, I thought it was its magic pattern that was broken, so you could hold it safely....so I asked Sharyl to give it a try....but, obviously, it wasn't damaged....then, it's your problem." ā€

"Its properties don't work for you. ā€

"I still don't understand," Yu Ping continued to ask, "Can you be more direct?"

"You're in luck... Yu Ping," Sharyl took over and continued to explain to Yu Ping, "Actually, Uncle Palu has made it very clear just now... The knife in your hand has the property of 'scattering demons', which is manifested in the fact that anyone who touches it will be devoured by the magic in its body, and then dissipated into the air through its blade. ā€

"It's a terrifying trait, this knife can be the natural enemy of almost any magic cultivator....but..."Sharyl smacked her lips and continued, "Its properties also work on the user... And whether it is wrapped in other media to wrap the hilt, or whether it is used to directly drive the knife in the air with spiritual power, this characteristic cannot be avoided. ā€

"So, it went from being a powerful weapon to a very shabby scrap that almost no one wanted. ā€

Sharyl paused, looked at Yu Ping and continued, "However... Now the characteristics of this knife don't work for you....that is...."

"Congratulations, you've acquired a powerful weapon that belongs to you....it's enough to make you the natural enemy of all cultivators with magical powers. ā€

"But... Why is the 'Demon Scattering Blade' here?" Ignoring the bewildered Yu Ping, Sharyl asked Palu with a puzzled expression, "I think it should be stored in the Holy City's arsenal....why is it still in your shop and on such an ordinary weapon rack?"

"Of course the one in the lucky guy's hand is not genuine," Palu replied to Sharyl's question: "It is a fake created after I personally felt the power of the real 'Demon Scattering Blade' when I visited the arsenal of the Holy City....but even if it is a fake, its characteristics are already terrifying....If it is genuine, little Sharyl, you should have fainted to the ground by now due to the exhaustion of mana." ā€

"I've always wanted to improve its characteristics to prevent it from having an effect on the user....but I've never been able to do that..."Palu sighed, his eyes glowing strangely, looked at Yu Ping and said, "Lucky guy... Can you tell me why its features don't work for you?"

"I know it's abrupt....and rude," the dwarf slipped back what Yu Ping was about to say, and continued, "But if you're willing to tell me, then I'm willing to pay the same reward....and swear in the glory of the dwarf that I will never leak it!"

"That's... Actually, you don't have to be so serious...."Yu Ping said with a wry smile: "I don't know very well....but I think it should be related to my physique....but can I tell you, it depends on Sharyl's wishes." ā€

"So... Little Sharyl...."The old dwarf looked at Shahril with a look of hope.

"He, Yu Ping, is my 'guardian beast'. Sharyl hesitated for a moment, after all, she was defeated by the old dwarf's gaze....Palu had helped her a lot before, and she couldn't bear to just refuse his request.

ā€œ... I see..."The old dwarf nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Then what kind of race is its body? It is actually immune to the effects of the Demon Scattering Blade, and has turned into a human form, it must be an extremely powerful race, right?"

"He's human...."

Palu: "....."
