Volume 1 Conspiracy Chapter 63 Sword Tasting Conference (II)
After a round of weapon introductions, the Sword Tasting Conference ushered in the much-anticipated second stage, the Sword Stone!
A boulder with a faint aura slowly rose from the ground in the center of the field, about three zhang high, and the faces of the people who came to the sword tasting conference for the first time were full of doubts. After a period of stumbling words, the doubts gradually dissipated from his face.
This is an extraterrestrial meteorite, which was discovered a hundred years ago, and it is said that no amount of power can affect it! Even if it leaves a trace above, the meteorite will return to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye within ten breaths, and there will be no trace left!
With the emergence of this magical rumor, the masters of the sects from all over Huanhua Continent have gone to the location of the meteorite to test the power of the weapon, and gradually the Sword Casting City has also joined the ranks. Ten years later, the military of the Prayer Moon Kingdom took away this sword test stone with absolute strength. It wasn't until five years later that this sword test stone appeared at the sword tasting conference!
In the sword stone test stage, after the deliberation of the Shadow Moon Palace, the Tang Sect sword test master was the first to enter. He held a repeater in his hand, and stood five meters away from the sword test stone with an extremely confident attitude! Everyone on the field looked at the repeater in his hand attentively, and if he could leave even a trace or ripple on the sword test stone, it would promote the Huanhuazhou weapon to enter a new era!
Liang Yujing raised his right hand and shouted, "Begin!" His right hand fell almost at the same time as the words, and the Tang Sect Sword Tester raised the repeater in his hand, and after assuming a horse-step posture, he quickly pulled the crescent trigger under the repeater! Three lightning-fast arrows shot out one after another, and before everyone could see clearly, they had already struck the sword test stone.
The first arrow snapped in response, and the sword test stone rippled in layers!
The second arrow pierced through the ripples and slammed into the stone wall, bursting into sparks! Before the sparks could ignite, the arrows shattered into pieces.
Everyone was amazed by this scene!
The third arrow struck, and before the spark was extinguished, it slammed into the stone wall, and then shattered into pieces! But on the stone of the sword, there was a red spot that looked like it had been burned! Although it was only a tiny point that could barely be seen clearly, it still shocked everyone present beyond words.
The Shadow Moon Palace, which was hidden in the dark, saw this scene, and was already a little unable to sit still! It didn't need to be cultivated to emit such a power, if it was mass-produced and equipped on the Shadow Guard, the Shadow Moon Hall would be invincible.
There were only a lot more excited than the Shadow Moon Palace, and everyone was already secretly determined at this time, this repeater must be in their hands no matter what! If they can't get it, they will destroy it and leave it to anyone, especially their rivals!
"Bang Bang..."
There were bursts of applause, and Liang Yujing entered the center of the venue, and his eyes were hidden with surprise in the crescent moon! Liang Yujing stopped applauding and praised: "This sword tasting conference is really exciting, and at the same time, there are also surprising new weapons! The power of this repeater is extraordinary, if it is... Haha!, it will be one of the weapons that can change the pattern of the world!"
"Xie Qingfeng Sword Saint praises! Tang Sect will definitely live up to expectations. The sword tester replied respectfully. Then he exited the center of the field in front of everyone's eyes.
Liang Yujing nodded at him, and this "Qingfeng Sword Saint" made him appreciate this sword tester very much. Others now only recognize him as the inheritor of the Qingfeng Sword, as for the name of the Qingfeng Sword Saint, Liang Yujing can't afford it, but he doesn't want others to recognize him as the new Qingfeng Sword Saint.
When everyone was still amazed by the power of the Tang Sect's crossbow, Kong Ying had already stood up, turned his head and said to Yan Mengyao: "Give me the sword box! After saying that, the person had already walked towards the center of the venue, and Liang Yujing also announced: "Next, I invite the chief swordsmith of Sword Casting City to appear and bring you three mysterious long swords!"
The shouts in the field were high, accompanied by the sound of "Sword Casting City", Kong Ying came to the center of the venue with the sword box in one hand. Everyone stopped shouting, looking forward to Kong Ying's display of the divine weapons he brought to the conference.
"Thank you for your support to Sword Casting City! In Xia Kong Ying, I will show you the three newly forged swords in Sword Casting City! The new sword is sharp, I hope everyone will protect the little friends around you, don't be hurt by the sword qi! In this way, Sword Casting City and I will be extremely guilty!" Before Kong Ying's words fell, the major sects on the seat had already opened their protective arrays.
Yan Mengyao looked at the various protective arrays, and immediately sneered and whispered, "Isn't it just three swords, is it necessary to do this?"
After nearly a hundred protective arrays lit up on the scene, Kong Ying slowly opened the sword box! First, a loud scream, with a wave of heat, spread throughout the entire Mingbing Valley!
The heat wave hit the valleys, on the protective arrays on the field. Only Yan Mengyao did not move at all without any waves!
After ten breaths, the heat wave slowly subsided. As the heat dissipated, a soul-shattering roar erupted from the sword box, and an angry and monstrous roar filled the valley and beyond.
When the many protective arrays burst in these two forces and were about to be unable to support them, Kong Ying closed the sword box and smiled proudly. He said slowly: "The third sword, I want to retain a trace of mystery below. ”
Kong Ying beckoned to Yan Mengyao, who was sitting dryly on the seat, signaling that she could enter. Yan Mengyao got up, came to the middle of the field, and looked around at the people on the field left and right. Appearing in front of so many people for the first time, although he has changed his face, he is still a little nervous in his heart.
"This is our Sword Casting City's Sword Trial, Han Ying! Maybe you don't know him, or hear his name for the first time, but after the next sword test, everyone will definitely have a new understanding of him. Kong Ying introduced Yan Mengyao to everyone with an arrogant attitude and a look of contempt for all beings.
Everyone began to discuss, and most of them were wondering why this sword tester could have such ability in Kong Ying's mouth! And there were just two people who knew her in the field, it was Bai Xiyue and Du Heng, they never thought that Han Ying, who saved Bai Xiyue that day and crushed the Tiger Roaring Gate with his hands, was actually the sword tester of Sword Casting City!
An old man with white hair asked beside them: "Do you say that he has no sect and no faction, and his body is strange! Or did he save the benefactor of the white girl? When did there be a person with a strange body in Sword Casting City, they never cultivated the art of self-cultivation!"
Bai Xiyue and Du Heng shook their heads blankly, they couldn't answer this question. The two have only known "Han Ying" for two days, and they know almost no about who he is, let alone other secrets hidden in him!
After Kong Ying's words, the sword box was summoned by him again! A sword glowed with a faint red light, three feet and three inches long, the whole body was pale red, and the sword body was engraved with the image of a vermilion bird flying high. From the tail to the head, the Suzaku is completely carved on the front and back of the sword! At the tail end of the sword body, you can also see the "Li" hexagram pattern if you look closely.
The sword is out of the box, and the sword case closes again. The sword floated in front of Yan Mengyao like a spirit, and the faint red light moved silently. Kong Ying said: "This sword was forged by the condensing iron found in a volcano in the land of Nanyi by my Sword Casting City twenty years ago! After eight years, it took two sword-forging slaves to lose on the way before forging this sword! The sword-forging person named it, Yanli! As for its power, I will ask Han Ying to show it to you!"
Kong Ying turned around, looked at Yan Mengyao, who was a little stunned, and said, "Brother Han, please!"
The look of anticipation in everyone's eyes was overflowing, and they cheered up, as if they were afraid of missing any glance. Yan Mengyao slowly raised her right hand and grasped the hilt of the Yanli Sword in front of her. A heat wave hit, Yan Mengyao's face showed a trace of panic, but soon this panic turned into shock! This heat wave was not only obvious on the surface, but also straight to the heart, Yan Mengyao only felt that her heart was surging, and her blood was boiling! A passionate power filled her whole body.
This power was not only felt by Yan Mengyao, but also seen by the great powers of everyone present. Yan Mengyao reined in her thoughts, and after a faint evil smile appeared on her face, the Yanli Sword in her hand was instantly swung five times by her! Before everyone could see how she moved, five red sword lights had already fallen on the sword test stone.
Just now, under the three arrows of the Tangmen crossbow, only a red dot stood out, but under these five red sword lights, there was no power to resist, and after the first sword light broke through the invisible shield, four neat sword marks were clearly engraved on the sword test stone! It took ten breaths before the sword test stone returned to its original appearance. But in this ten-breath time, the silence in the Ming Soldier Valley can only be heard as everyone gasps!
Kong Ying couldn't hide the surprise on his face, he originally thought that Han Ying swung Yan Li five times, leaving at most two sword marks in the sword test stone, which was already Yan Li's strongest power! But Han Ying's performance greatly shocked him, and also shocked the nearly 10,000 people present!
"Wonderful! The sword-forging technique of Sword Casting City really lives up to its reputation! Let the people of the world know once again that Sword Casting City is the world's No. 1 sword-casting city!" With Liang Yujing's words, everyone woke up.
Liang Yujing's inner thoughts at this time were almost the same as those of the nearly 10,000 people present, and he asked himself that with his current cultivation and swordsmanship attainments, he could easily leave more sword marks on the sword test stone than he did, but this new sword, a little-known sword test master, could leave four sword marks on the sword test stone with a swinging attitude, and he asked himself if it was difficult for him to do it so casually back then!
Nearly 10,000 people present were extremely excited at this time, Liang Yujing said when he saw this: "You don't need to be too excited, at the Sword Tasting Conference! Those who are capable can win their own divine sword, I hope you can challenge this little brother with your own strength, defeat him, and get your own divine sword!
As soon as the words fell, the sword box had been opened again, Yan Li was retracted into the box, and a long sword with a cold and biting wind flew out of the box! This is the sword that makes people fall into an ice cave, the whole body exudes a trace of coldness, light blue and white rotate back and forth! It is about three feet and two inches long. There was no carving on the blade, except for a deep concave line like an ice pick in the center of the blade, which started at the tip of the sword and ended an inch where the blade met the hilt.
On this deeply concave line, at a speed that is difficult to see with the naked eye, the prominent ice pick quickly dissipates into cold air, and the cycle repeats! Kong Ying beckoned this sword to his side and said, "This sword is called Condensation Frost! It took nearly eleven years to forge it with a thousand-year-old cold ice pith combined with the method of condensation and forging. On the day of the sword, the sword city was a hundred miles in radius, and the sky was full of frost and cold. If you cultivate water and ice-related exercises, you will be able to exert the strongest power of this sword!"
After Kong Ying finished speaking, he waved his hand and pushed Shuang Ning in front of Yan Mengyao, his eyes signaling that he could start. Yan Mengyao nodded, picked up the frost and headed towards the sword test stone, and everyone on the field looked at her intently.
This Frost Condensation Sword is different from the Yanli Sword, it gives a cold aura like frost, no matter how impatient and passionate the heart is, it will be extinguished when it touches it! Calmness and composure are its unique blessings to the sword wielder.
Yan Mengyao concocted the same method, and brandished the five swords again, this time the power was obviously not as strong as Yan Li's sword, and there was even a feeling that people looked light! The five swords, leaving only two sword marks, Kong Ying's eyes revealed a trace of imperceptible disappointment! The nearly 10,000 people in the field sighed in disappointment, but there were several burning eyes that no one noticed looking at the frost sword in her hand!
Liang Yujing clapped his palms, breaking the sigh in the field, and then said: "Although it is a little disappointing, I don't think it's that the power of the sword is not as good as Yan Li, but that what Brother Han has learned is not suitable for using it." As Kong Ying said by Sword Master, only those who practice water and ice-related exercises can use the strongest power of this sword, so those who have practiced water and ice exercises can be prepared!"
The scene was quiet, and Kong Ying withdrew the Frost Sword in the eyes of everyone. And the third mysterious blade, which never revealed a trace of breath, was not taken out when Kong Ying withdrew the frost sword.
Kong Ying said with a smile: "Don't worry, the third sword is left in the Sword Casting City by the destined people, all the people present can come to the sword box after the sword tasting conference to feel this divine sword! I won't tell you the name and origin of this sword first, if there are destined people here, then the name of this sword will also be made public, thank you!"
The scene began to talk again, full of speculation and excitement about the third sword of Sword Forge City. Yan Mengyao and Kong Ying also retreated to their seats at the same time, and after Yan Mengyao sat down, she asked suspiciously: "Brother Kong, won't all these three swords in Sword Casting City be given away, right? I won't fight hard for this gold coin, if the challenger is too strong, I will throw the sword to him!"
When Kong Ying heard this, he first laughed, and then said, "Brother Han, don't worry! Just go as you wish, don't worry about it." You can give away the two swords of Yanli and Ning Shuang even if you are on the field, you don't need to care about my thoughts. It's going to be on the scene in a while, and the scene is definitely more shocking than what you just had, look at it!"
Soul departed, Yan Mengyao's eyes flickered.
And Kong Ying just finished speaking, and before Liang Yujing even announced, an old man in black and a hood had appeared in the center of the venue. I saw that he was wearing a black hat, hunched, and two bundles of slender white hair were draped from the black hat to his chest! This outfit made it difficult for the people present to see his appearance clearly, but most of the sect elders had already guessed that this person was from the Soul Separation Division, and only the Soul Separation Department dared to be so rude, even the Shadow Moon Hall couldn't do anything about him!
"The old man is a swordsmith from the soul detachment, and he is here today, not to participate in the sword tasting conference, but to hope that there are people here who are destined to repair this broken sword!" The dull voice of the old man in black spread to every corner of the valley, and when the words fell, he also took out a broken knife with the lower half of his body missing.
The blade of the knife was broken less than a foot long, and a rag was wrapped around the hilt, which looked even more ordinary than a pig-killing knife. From the body of the knife, it is a thin knife, the blade to the back of the knife is only three inches, such a thin knife, everyone has seen it for the first time.
Liang Yujing stepped forward slowly, looked at the broken knife in his hand and asked, "Senior, I don't know where this knife came from, why did it come to this point?
Liang Yujing couldn't feel any breath on this knife, and in his eyes, this broken knife was no different from scrap metal. And the old man slowly explained to everyone: "This knife was unintentionally found by the old man in the extreme part of the Beihai God and Demon Battlefield, why it was broken to this point, the old man can't guess a thing or two." However, this broken knife can appear on the battlefield of the gods and demons of the North Sea, and it must have its extraordinary! In recent years, the old decay has continued to explore, trying to find a way to recover this knife, but it has all failed, and no matter what the old decay does, it still retains this appearance! It can be soaked in the magma of the deep sea for three years without getting hot. In my soul detachment, there was no damage in more than 10,000 beatings, and not even a trace was left!"
The old man's words were as plain as water, and there was no trace of emotion mixed in them, but everyone present was amazed, and they all looked at the broken knife in the old man's hand in disbelief. And on the seat, there was only one person whose eyes were full of disbelief, and that person was Yan Mengyao. She seemed to have seen the knife somewhere, but now that it was broken, her mind was rummaging through her memory for what it was.
Liang Yujing raised his staring eyes, looked directly at the old man and asked, "Senior, you said that this broken knife was found from the battlefield of gods and demons, so how can we repair it?
Hearing this, Yan Mengyao's heart beat rapidly, she wanted to get this broken knife!
Liang Yujing's meaning is obvious, this broken knife is either left by the gods or demons, how can the human race repair it? But the old man did not give up because of his words, and continued: "I have tried to feed it with blood, and the speed of the broken knife to the blood is extremely fast, and it seems that there is a spiritual sense hidden in it! I hope you can generously drop two drops of essence blood for the broken knife, if it can be repaired! The Soul Separation Department will forge a divine weapon belonging to him as a thank you gift, if you feel that one is not enough, you can make another request that the Soul Separation Department can accept!"
The audience was in an uproar! The divine weapons forged by the Soul Separation Department were even more attractive than the three of them in the Sword City. This is not only a simple divine weapon, the divine weapon forged by the Soul Departure Department for anyone will follow the master for a lifetime, and no one can take it away, this is the attraction of the Soul Departure Division's Divine Soldier. Of course, there is also a certain price to be paid, that is, the human soul will become one with the instrument soul, and the instrument will go with the person, and the person will die with the instrument! From then on, the person will be present in the instrument, and the instrument will be destroyed.
On top of this price, most people will still pursue the Divine Soldier of the Soul Division, which may be a great price among ordinary people, but in the eyes of the Great Power, this price can be directly ignored! Not only because the Divine Soldier is difficult to destroy, but also because the Divine Soldier will double its power after merging with the human soul!
Liang Yujing was also a little greedy at this time, but he didn't show it, but said: "Most of the people present came to join in the fun, and the seniors didn't screen it?"
When the old man heard this, he smiled and said: "That's natural, everyone here who has reached the Xiaoyuan Realm can come to the table to look for me, this Sword Tasting Conference Soul Departure Department will not bring new weapons, I hope you Haihan! ”
When the old man said that he needed the Xiaoyuan Realm realm, most of the people on the field already looked disappointed, hating that they didn't work hard in their daily cultivation and missed the great opportunity they had now! Only a small number of sect elders and heads of the sect looked happy, ready to get up and go to the Soul Separation Department to gamble.
The sword test stone stage of the sword tasting conference continued, and there was no shortage of amazing divine weapons in the next launch, but they still couldn't reach the power of Sword Casting City, and some people comforted themselves that they were sword test masters of Sword Casting City who understood the mystery of swords better.
Everyone can choose to challenge their favorite weapon tester, and the winner will get this weapon, but before the challenge, they need to spend the corresponding price! The challenge of Sword Casting City is 5,000 gold coins at a time, of which 1,000 will fall into the pocket of the Shadow Moon Palace, 500 will fall into the pocket of the Sword Trialer, and the rest will be given to Sword Casting City.
Yan Mengyao called the profiteer, 5,000 pieces only gave her 500, which is the same face as the profiteer in Furong City! As the top two sword-casting city in the famous soldier spectrum, there are so many challengers that Yan Mengyao is a little big-headed, and in this Mingbing Valley, he also specially made an independent challenge platform for all the armorymen on the list! At this time, Yan Mengyao was standing on the challenge platform of Sword Casting City, looking at the two rows of challengers lined up behind her, she suddenly had a trace of interest!
The first challenger to enter was a tall, thin man. Don't look at his thinness, he actually carried a giant sword close to a person's height on his shoulder, and with the entry of the first challenger, the referees prepared by the Shadow Moon Hall for each challenge table also entered the field. The referee glanced at each of them and said: "The rule is very simple, without harming the lives of others, just defeat the opponent and admit defeat! The two of you are ready to go. ”
"Rainbow Hall Gao Zhan, offended!" Gao Zhan, a tall and thin man, put the giant sword under his feet, and reported his name after making a gesture.
Yan Mengyao made a move with her right hand, opened the sword box, and asked, "Which one do you want to challenge?" Kong Ying explained to her before she came on the field, and the challenger could use whichever weapon he chose to compete with him.
Gao Zhan pointed to the Yanli sword that glowed with a faint red light, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit and said, "I want Yanli, it is very in line with the exercises I practice." ”
As soon as Gao Zhan's voice fell, Yan Li immediately flew out like a meteor, as if to tell Yan Mengyao that this man was not worthy of holding it. Yan Mengyao held Yan Li's sword in his hand, and after making a gesture of invitation to Gao Zhan, he stood erect in front of him with the sword in both hands, and his eyes were gradually dyed red by Yan Li.
"Bell !!"
With a dull sound of slamming the ground, Gao Zhan dragged the giant sword towards Yan Mengyao with a momentum like a bamboo, and the corners of Yan Mengyao's mouth were slightly upturned, as if a plan came to his mind. I saw her put down her left hand, turned the sword vertically and horizontally with her right hand, and rushed out at a speed that the referee couldn't see clearly, a red light and a figure quickly circled the challenge platform, and Gao Zhan, who was about to smash the giant sword towards Yan Mengyao with a thunderous momentum, suddenly lost his goal in his eyes.
"Ding!
The piercing sound of scratching resounded throughout the challenge platform, and everyone covered their ears. With a loud bang, the giant sword in Gao Zhan's hand had broken in half, and at this time, Gao Zhan had just reacted, and Yan Li had already put it on his neck from behind! Yan Mengyao's cold voice came: "You lost!"
Gao Zhan was defeated by Yan Mengyao before he even released a move, and most of the challengers in the queue were already so shocked that they couldn't keep their mouths shut! The sword tester of Sword Casting City won the first challenger with no effort, and a question suddenly arose in everyone's hearts, can he release one and a half moves when he comes to the stage?
"High Zhan defeated! The referee announced the winner of the first game and called in the second challenger.
At the same time, on the disc seat of the Ming Bing Valley, there were dozens of people standing in the seat belonging to the Soul Separation Department at this time, and they were taking turns feeding the broken knife essence blood, trying to restore the original appearance of the broken knife! But as the number of people gradually decreased, the broken knife did not react to the essence blood donated by the previous few at all, and the eyes of the old man next to him were already full of helplessness at this time.
The conference to challenge the sword tester and win the divine weapon is in full swing, and the Shadow Moon Hall has invited the Tang Sect to Jianming City at this time, and is secretly negotiating a big matter!
