Chapter 45: Weapon Upgrades
Lu Zhan was puzzled.
It wasn't until he shivered that he came back from his stupor, feeling wrapped in a chill.
He glanced down at his chest, and saw that the blood stains on the five long cracks on the "Rhino Moon Gaze Armor" had coagulated;
The Mithril Mirror could be faintly seen through the crack, and it was the third time that the Mind Protector had saved his life.
Lu Zhan's gaze fell on Steward Liu's corpse, at this time the blood on his body had been exhausted, and the blood stained the snow into a shocking black and red color, and in the pool of blood, there was a piece of earthy yellow paper lying quietly.
He stooped down and crouched beside the corpse, stretched out his left hand to pick up the yellow piece of paper and looked at it, the earthy yellow piece of paper was the same size as the one he used, and there were strange symbols drawn on it with red cinnabar.
It seems that this piece of paper should be the same as the previous yellow piece of paper, with some kind of strange spell that can turn Steward Liu's fingers into super high-level weapons.
Lu Zhan put the two pieces of yellow paper into the "Qiankun bag", and then reached out and searched on Steward Liu's body, and found forty first-grade pills "Yangyuan Dan" from him, as well as eight second-level pills "Peiyuan Dan".
There was another strange stone: this stone was oval-shaped, about three inches in size, and it looked like a red spar from the outside, but the bright red veins in the spar seemed to flow, and it looked very strange.
Steward Liu also has a piece of jet-black metal hidden on his body, this metal looks like a piece only the size of a palm, and it feels very light in his hand, even much lighter than a wooden block of the same size, and his fingers brushed the metal surface, with a trace of numb and crispy electric shock-like feeling.
Lu Zhan stuffed all the things he had found from Steward Liu into the "Qiankun Bag", and finally, he took off the silver-gray soft armor on Steward Liu's body that could even block his own "Blood Light Slash".
The texture of this soft armor is very light and smooth, like a silk garment. The soft armor is extremely elastic, and after being stripped off from Steward Liu's body, it actually shrunk to the size of a shirt worn by a drooping child, and it is very gentle, and it almost doesn't feel any weight in your hand, and it is magical!
Although Lu Zhan didn't know how to appreciate it, he knew that this soft armor was definitely of a higher level than the "Rhino Moon Gazetteer Armor" he was wearing.
After searching Steward Liu's body, he searched Xue Lijian again, but he didn't find anything else on his body except for a few silver tickets with small denominations. I think he was in a hurry when he went out, and he didn't bring any valuable finances.
plus the bottle of Steward Liu's second-level healing medicine "Hemostasis". In this battle, although Lu Zhan lost a "Rhino Moon Gazetteer Armor" and a fifth-level Fang Tian Painting Halberd, he obviously gained more.
In the end, Lu Zhan cut off Steward Liu's head.
There were two corpses left, and he decided to destroy the corpses and dispose of them, after all, he still had to go back to the Lu Mansion to wait for the three princes, and he didn't want these two corpses to arouse the suspicion of the Lu Mansion about him.
Because he had little strength left in his body at the moment, his right hand was unconscious, and he wanted to dig a pit and bury it, which was really a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, not far from Changting was the Yiyang River, so he dragged the two corpses to the Yiyang River and pushed the bodies into the surging river.
As for the bloodstains, they will soon be buried by the heavy snow.
Lu Zhan carried the head of Steward Liu to Lu Tonghui's grave, he put the head in front of his father's tombstone, lit a stick of incense, and choked on the tombstone: "Dad, the child brought the head of the enemy who killed you, although he is not the real mastermind behind it, but Daddy can rest assured, the child now has enough strength, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will definitely dig out the culprit behind the death of his father, and seek justice for your old man." โ
He closed his eyes and prayed silently, and then whispered to himself: "I just don't know what secret my father found out about the third young master? โ
He had heard Xi Liuzi say that the third young master of the Lu family was violent and murderous, cold-blooded and insidious, and was an extremely difficult character, so he said to the tombstone: "Dad, no matter how capable the third young master is, the child will definitely avenge this blood revenge for you, in order to comfort your old man's soul in the sky." โ
He sat quietly in front of Lu Tonghui's grave for half a night, and only then did he set fire to the head of Steward Liu, sprinkled the ashes all the way in the mountain stream, and then went home to rest.
Since Steward Liu usually spends most of his time outside the Lu Mansion taking care of the business and industry for the third prince, his disappearance did not attract much attention in the Lu Mansion.
However, it was Xue Liji's disappearance that made the nursing hall busy for a while.
However, Steward Liu and Xue Liji had the idea of secretly attacking and killing Lu Zhan at that time, so they did not tell others their whereabouts. At the same time, when Lu Zhan and them left the Lu Mansion, no one else in the courtyard hall saw it.
So no one suspected Lu Zhan.
A duel with Steward Liu gave Lu Zhan a greater sense of urgency.
Although he didn't know what kind of realm the third son of the Lu family's martial arts attainments had reached now, what he could be sure of was that it was definitely much higher than that of Steward Liu.
Therefore, Lu Zhan had to intensify his cultivation in order to improve his martial arts attainments more quickly.
Lu Zhan took out the yellow-colored piece of paper he got from Steward Liu from his Qiankun bag and looked at it carefully.
This piece of paper is almost the same size and shape as the piece of paper he got from Lu Xuan in appearance, but the difference is that the color of the paper is slightly different from the red characters on it.
The characters on this paper are neither like paintings nor patterns, and they look strange.
Lu Zhan didn't bother to figure out the meaning of the characters, he was more interested in what kind of mutations would occur in his body after pasting the piece of paper.
He remembered that after Steward Liu pasted this piece of paper, the person's appearance was very deformed. Especially his hand, which was already very powerful, the strange claw miracle skill, after pasting the piece of paper, the fingernails grew more than ten times longer, and the roots were like **-level weapons, so sharp that people were simply unable to resist.
According to this situation, the effect of this piece of paper is to make the power of the martial art that he is best at increase by several times the order of magnitude, just like forcibly raising the power of a martial art in the initial stage of the Qi Condensation Realm to the power of the later stage, and it has crossed over as many as two or three small realms.
If that's the case, then what I'm good at is "Wolf Tooth Cracked Empty Palm", after using this piece of paper, can I also increase the power by two small realms?
Thinking of this, Lu Zhan decided to do whatever he wanted and give it a try.
He closed his eyes and first recalled the specific scene when Steward Liu used this piece of yellow paper.
Then, he opened his eyes, put the yellow piece of paper on his chest with his backhand, and then struck his palms together twice, and with each blow of ten fingers, he staggered each other into a strange posture like Steward Liu at that time;
When he finished his second gesture, he suddenly felt that the muscles and skeletons of his body seemed to be rapidly deformed, some places were compressing, some places were expanding, some places were twisting, and some places were distorted, anyway, the limbs and bones were violently deformed and shaking, and this pain was especially reflected in the palms of the two hands.
The pain lasted as long as two breaths before it stopped.
He looked down at his body, and saw that the skin on his body had become thick and thick, and thick and long black hairs poked out of the skin, especially the two arms, and the green tendons and blood vessels on the arms had burst out, coiling around the arms like pythons.
What's even more shocking is that the two palms have become big and long, like two long knives with wide blades, and a person's palms have been deformed to such an exaggerated point that it really makes people feel as if they have become a fierce beast or even a vicious beast.
At this time, Lu Zhan was still standing in the stone forest where he was practicing, and he didn't have to worry about being frightened by passers-by when he saw his strange appearance.
He walked to a towering rock weighing thousands of pounds, and the two extremely deformed palms were tightly put together, and then with all his strength, he turned sideways and slammed into the left side of the boulderโ
I only heard a loud "pop", and the two palms were deeply embedded in the stone more than two feet deep, but the power of these palms did not stop when the palms stopped, and I saw a crack from the edge of the palm to the right side of the boulder, extending to the most edge of the right side of the boulder.
Then I saw that the top half of the boulder slowly fell down, and "bang" fell to the ground, and the dust spread in all directions.
This palm actually cut off a boulder like a small mountain!
Ha, it seems that the power of this piece of earthy yellow paper is probably only stronger than the previous "Arm of the Giant Spirit God".
After the "Djinn God's Arm" is used, the entire arm will be paralyzed for a long time, and it will not be able to use a little strength for at least two days and one night.
I wonder if there will be any sequelae after this piece of yellow paper is removed?
Lu Zhan carefully peeled off the yellow paper attached to his chest, and his body quickly returned to its original state, he twisted his arms, and then punched two more punches, except that he felt that the force of the blow was weaker than usual, and he didn't feel that there was anything particularly wrong.
It seems that there is nothing particularly inappropriate about using this piece of earthy yellow paper, except for feeling that the physical strength and qi are somewhat depleted.
But is it strange? Lu Zhan wondered: "The same piece of paper with enhanced power is not much different in appearance, why is it divided into one with serious sequelae, and the other one has no major problems?"
Lu Zhan seriously thought about the scene when these two pieces of paper were used separately, and suddenly remembered:
When using the "Djinn God's Arm", you should get your own blood on the yellow paper.
And the one that uses Steward Liu, there is no need to stain human blood, perhaps this is the main difference between the two. As for why the effect is so different?
With the current limited knowledge of this young man, he really can't think of the truth out of thin air.
After the Battle of Changting, Lu Zhan began to pay attention to the use of blades while strengthening the practice of martial arts.
He understood that when he reached the realm of Qi Condensation, the Qi Condensation masters would "condense Qi like a glow" and cast Qi Blades and Qi Walls in the air from a distance, so the contest between them needed to maintain a certain safe distance;
The previous hand-to-hand combat style that was almost simple and barbaric has become a more dangerous and even backward way of fighting when facing off against the masters of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Because of this, he has always had great fantasies and enthusiasm for the way of fighting by injecting the "Blood Light Slash" into the weapon, and since the last time he successfully injected the blood light into the Burmese Steel Knife, these days, he has been persistently injecting the "Blood Light Slash" qi into the body of the Burmese Steel Knife every day.
I've been trying this for nearly thirty days, and I don't know how many times I've used the "Blood Light Slash" on that knife. Time goes on gradually.
Unconsciously, the Burmese knife also gradually underwent a qualitative change-
First of all, the originally soft knife surface begins to gradually transform into a hard and abnormal state;
Then the original very bright luster turned dull;
Then there is the original silver and mirror-like knife surface turned into a blue-purple with faint blood light;
In the end, even if the "Blood Light Slash" is not injected into this knife, this steel knife can also cut the stone mill with one sword, and the power is greatly increased!
