Two days later.
In a forest overgrown with weeds, a large number of black armored guards were surrounding a snake demon.
"Roar ~~" This was a huge snake with a blood-red body and a bright silver abdomen. There were two curved claws on its abdomen, and it had four toes. Its red vertical pupils made one's heart palpitate. However, the snake had been completely trapped by a large net. No matter how it twisted its body, it could not break free.
"Hahaha." The fiery-red-armored bearded man laughed loudly." What a stupid snake. I captured it so easily. Hurry up and tie it up."”
"Yes."
Immediately, several dozen black armored guards brandished their enormous chains. The black chains were like dancing serpents, rapidly coiling around the crimson serpent. No matter how hard the red snake struggled, it was useless. Soon, its body was completely bound by chains, and its huge snake head was bound layer by layer, making it unable to open its mouth.
"Commander, where did this snake come from? It actually has two claws?”A black armored youth asked curiously. He had thought hard for a long time but still couldn't tell what kind of divine beast it was.
" Snakes are lewd by nature," the bearded man said with a smile." Their bloodlines are mixed. I've seen hundreds of different types of snakes with the bloodline of Fiendgods. Only those with purer bloodlines and greater fame would have names. A divine beast with mixed bloodlines like this didn't have a name at all.”
"Young master needs some powerful Houtian demonic beasts to train his sword. This snake is not bad.”The bearded man sized up the red snake and nodded in satisfaction." Bring it back."”
"Yes."
The black armored guards responded in unison.
Their commander was a Xiantian expert of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture-the number one sharpshooter, Blindfish! Blindfish was young master Ji Ning's first teacher. In the Ji clan of the West Prefecture, there was no question that he was standing on the side of the Prefecture Lords, Ji Young and Ji Yichuan. In addition, Blindfish had always been extremely proud of having Ning as his disciple.
As for young master Ji Ning, the news of him fighting and training in the sword against monstrous beasts had long since spread.
After all, a Demonic Beast died every three days, and a large number of Demonic Beasts died one after another. These Demonic Beasts were almost all captured alive by the Black Armored Guards, so the news had naturally spread throughout the army.
"Young master Ji Ning has long since reached the peak of the Houtian level. His sword-arts are in the Subtle Phase, and he is one with the sword. He also trains in the most supreme sword-arts of our Ji clan. Killing a peak Houtian demonic beast was a piece of cake.”
"I heard that even Houtian divine beasts were killed.”
"Given young master Ji Ning's status, he definitely has an incomparably sharp divine weapon. With a divine weapon and the mastery of sword techniques, it would not be difficult for him to kill a peak Houtian divine beast.”
The Ji clan's West Prefecture army had a nose and eyes for rumors.
Even the other powerful figure of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture, Ji Lie, believed that Ning, that little fellow, had to rely on his divine weapon to be able to slay a Godbeast.
……
Dragon Castle, inside the cage.
A majestic demonic beast with black spots was lying on the ground. Its thick fur had long since split open, with huge wounds, and blood flowing all over the ground.
Ning just stood there, frowning as he pondered. The sharp sword in his hand suddenly disappeared into thin air. When he fought against peak Houtian monsters, he had only used his inner strength, and the weapons he used were only fairly good swords; they weren't divine weapons at all. After all, he was already so powerful. If he used a divine weapon again, it would not have any tempering effect.
"Ji Ning!" A voice came from above.
Ning couldn't help but raise his head to look. His father, Ji Yichuan, was seated on the viewing platform. This caused Ning to say in surprise,"Father, why are you here?"
He came to Dragon Castle every three days for a battle. Other than the first battle with the Howling Moon Wolf, his father did not come for the other dozens of bloody battles...
"Let's see how your swordsmanship is." Yichuan asked,"Did you enter the country?"
"No." Ning shook his head."I haven't reached the minor level of mastery in any of the many techniques of the [Raindrop Sutra] and the [Thunderflame Sword].”
The Raindrop Sutra had a total of nine sword moves.
The [Thunderflame Sword] had a total of three sword moves.
These sword moves were all special moves…If one cultivated them to an extremely high level, one would feel the integration of Heaven and man, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth. This was called 'entry'. However, this did not mean that he had reached the third level of the sword technique,'Heaven Man Unity.' This was because the true integration of Heaven and man in sword techniques referred to any sword move at any time and place. Even a simple stab, slash, or slash could draw on the power of heaven and earth. Only then could it be considered to have reached the realm of integration of Heaven and man!
Entering the realm, one would only be able to achieve the Union of Heaven and Man for a short period of time by using a special technique.
According to his father…
When one could enter the realm, it meant that one's sword technique had reached the initial level.
Only when one reached the integration of Heaven and man would one's sword technique reach great success.
According to rumors…
Above the integration of Heaven and man, there were even more profound levels. For example, the top sword techniques like the Raindrop Sutra and the Thunderflame Sword Remnant could only be created by existences that surpassed the integration of Heaven and man.
"You don't have to think hard about practicing swordsmanship.”Yichuan said," Today, take Spring Grass and Autumn Leaf out for a stroll.”
"Yes, father." Ning nodded.
Ning then turned and walked out through the narrow passageway that had already been opened. As for the corpses of the dead monsters, there would be people to clean them up.
******
West Prefecture City was a large city with hundreds of thousands of citizens.
"Young Master, we haven't come out for a long time.”Spring Grass and Autumn Leaf, the two maids, followed by his side, clearly very happy.
Ning smiled as he walked down the street. This street was the most prosperous street in the West Prefecture City. Generally speaking, all merchants would walk down this street. The street was originally more than thirty meters wide, but the businesses on both sides of the street took up more than half of the street space, leaving only seventy to eighty meters wide.
"Look at the women, plump women, big butts, very fertile, ten horned sheepskins for one.”
"These men are all very good warriors. They can all lift a thousand pounds. For only five taels of gold, buy a man and give a child.”
A bald man dressed in animal skin shouted loudly. Around him were dozens of muscular men dressed in animal skin guarding him. At the same time, there were also dirty slaves dressed in tattered animal skin. All of them looked around with eager eyes, hoping to find a good master to buy them. These slaves all had straw banners on their heads.
With a straw label, it meant that it was for sale.
……
He looked as he walked.
On the streets, there were people selling slaves, beast skins, weapons, wild beasts, demon beasts…There were all kinds of things. There were even precious books, divine weapons, poisons, herbs, secret manuals, and so on.
"Our tribe lost over a hundred warriors to obtain this precious divine weapon. We even crossed the mountains and forests and the wilderness all the way to the West Prefecture City after going through many hardships just to sell this precious divine weapon! Some traveling merchants came to our tribe and were willing to pay 30 beasthead gold, but we didn't exchange them. Your 10 pieces of beast head gold is too little, at least 100 pieces of beast head gold!”A rough voice came from the side.
Ning looked over curiously.
There were dozens of people surrounding the stall, and the stall owners were three burly, dark-skinned men. One of them, with a black snake coiled around his arm, kept saying,"One hundred beast head gold, one hundred beast head gold and you can take it.”
"So dark."
"You actually dare to ask for a hundred beasthead gold?”Spring Grass and Autumn Leaf muttered to themselves.
Ning was surprised as well. Beasthead gold was usually measured in terms of ten kilograms, and a hundred pieces was equivalent to a thousand kilograms of gold. Although it wasn't worth mentioning to the young masters of the Ji clan, it was still an enormous amount of wealth to an ordinary clan.
"No matter how sharp it is, it's just a weapon."
"It's not a truly intact magic treasure. It's just a completely damaged magic treasure that can only be used as a weapon.”
"20 beast head gold, I can only offer 20 beast head gold at most. If you want to sell it, I'll buy it!”
Someone was bidding.
"One hundred beasthead gold." The man with the black snake refused to let go. The two swarthy men beside him carefully watched the group of people in front of them, afraid that someone would snatch their treasure. For this treasure, many people from their tribe had died. Moreover, they had passed through many jungles and wastelands to reach West Prefecture City, and dozens of warriors had died. This treasure had to be sold at a high price.
After selling them, they could buy some slaves, some good swords, bows, arrows, and poisons. The strength of the tribe would increase greatly.
"Let me see." Ning, standing behind the crowd, glanced sideways at the divine weapon the black-snake man was holding, then immediately stepped forward.
The surrounding people turned around to look.
"Young Master."
"Young Master."
"This is the young master of the Ji clan? The only son of the Water Drop sword?"
A few of them immediately retreated respectfully and humbly. Anyone who was able to offer such a high price here was no ordinary person. In the past few years, Ning had gone out of the city with the Whitewater Hound every morning to practice his archery. Every day, he would leave the city and enter the city. Naturally, many of the people in the city knew of this revered young master of the Ji clan. The others who didn't know who Ji Ning was all heard the words of the people around them.
When the snake-wielding man saw that the others had all moved to the side, and heard the words 'young master of the Ji clan' and 'only son of the Raindrop sword', he was instantly so frightened that his heart trembled. Living in the territory of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture, who didn't know of the legendary 'Raindrop Sword'? That was the number one expert of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture, a god-like existence.
The young man in front of him was the only son of the Water Drop sword?
"Let me see." Ning said.
"Respected Young Master, please take a look." The black snake-like man respectfully handed over the divine weapon with both hands. The two men behind him were somewhat flustered, worried that this youth, who clearly had a very high and respected status, would forcefully snatch their treasures. Between tribes, it was common for the stronger party to snatch treasures. Although robbery was forbidden in West Prefecture City, and no one dared to provoke the Ji clan, hadn't they heard that this youth was the young master of the Ji clan? And the only son of the Raindrop sword!
Ning accepted it, his hand sinking slightly. This was a pitch-black sword, and the thick scabbard seemed quite plain. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that although there was only one scabbard, there were actually three swords stuck into it.
"Three swords in one scabbard?" Ning drew his sword in surprise.
Chi!
At the same time, he pulled out the three swords inside. The swords were emitting a cold aura, and there were ancient and broken patterns on the surface.
"What a pity." Ning shook his head and sighed. He had seen many treasures in the estate. Just by looking at the aura emanating from these profound runes, he could tell that these were originally magic treasures. They were most likely three flying swords controlled by Immortal cultivators to attack at the same time. However, the runes had shattered, and the magic treasure was clearly severely damaged. It could only be used as a weapon.
"Tsk." Ning swiped his finger across the blade of the sword.
Be careful, it's very sharp." The man with the black snake cried out in terror. This divine weapon could cut through rocks like tofu.
Ning felt the skin on his fingers tremble slightly. He couldn't help but feel shocked."I have the Golden Dawn Clothes to protect my body. The Golden Dawn Clothes have fused into every inch of my skin. A casual slash just now…actually caused the Golden Dawn Shirt to tremble. If I had used more strength, I'm afraid I would have been able to pierce through the Golden Dawn Shirt. I practice archery and walk around the city every day. I've seen many weapon sellers, but I've never seen such a sharp divine weapon.”
Others only felt that this weapon was very sharp, but they did not know how sharp it was. Ning, however, could sense that not even the Goldstar Shirt would be able to block this divine weapon.
"I want this weapon." Ning glanced at the black-snake man.
The man with the black snake was both happy and anxious. He hurriedly said," Young Master, for this weapon, our tribe…" In front of this youth with an extremely high status, he did not have the confidence to ask for a price.
