Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 259 Not Enough

The disappearance of a large number of blacksmiths half a year ago was indeed related to Liu Zhenwei. In order to forge a weapon, thousands of craftsmen were mobilized and it took several years. It was really deliberate.

Thousands of craftsmen worked together to create a weapon. Could it be that if the quality was not enough, they would make up for it with quantity?
Although he didn't know how the process went, he actually created the Three Profound Blades. Even though Chen Xuan didn't have much experience in refining weapons, Old Liu had instilled in him a lot of theoretical knowledge. In his opinion, it was also a rare and powerful weapon, not inferior to the Ningshuang Sword in Guo Jinglong's hand.

However, it is not yet at the level of a magic weapon. It just has its own characteristics and can enhance the Zhiyang technique to a certain extent.

The reason why the magic weapon is called a magic weapon is that the key lies in the word "magic". It has its own spirituality and extraordinary magical properties. For example, the Hanxing, which Chen Xuan has never used, is the size of an embroidery needle and hidden under the skin. It is imperceptible to people, but it really exists. If it comes to a life-and-death crisis, it will even automatically protect its master. This is a real magic weapon!

From a bystander's perspective, he was very excited to watch the battle between Liu Zhenwei and Guo Jinglong. One side's sword was like a dragon, and the other side was like the scorching sun in the sky. The forty-meter-long sword was nothing but child's play in front of them.

Of course, he could also clearly feel the danger involved.

It's not that Chen Xuan is underestimating himself. If he were to put himself in the shoes of any of those two men, he knew that he would definitely not be their opponent, especially after they used weapons. With his current cultivation level, he would not be able to withstand any attack. At most, he would be killed after two or three attacks. He did have some self-awareness.

After much thought, the best way is to use superb lightness skills to deal with the opponent, avoid the opponent's attack, use the long-lasting true energy of Ze Yuan Jue to fight a war of attrition, and then look for opportunities to counterattack, provided that the opponent gives him the opportunity to deal with the attack and consume the opponent's energy.

It took less than a minute from the start of their fight, and especially after they used weapons, the battle entered a white-hot stage, where victory or defeat, life or death, could be decided at any time.

Naturally, their battle could not last for three days and three nights, and the outcome would probably be decided in the next few rounds.

Liu Zhenwei was really scheming and had made sufficient preparations beforehand. Knowing that Guo Jinglong was an expert in swordsmanship, he specially prepared the Three Mysterious Blades, a unique weapon with great power and strength, intending to defeat Guo Jinglong's opponent with force.

At this time, he relied on the power of his weapon to be extremely ferocious. The three mysterious blades surrounded him like a scorching sun. He fought Guo Jinglong head-on and was simply suppressing his opponent.

The martial arts they practiced, one cold and one hot, restrained each other, and their cultivation levels were similar. It would be difficult to win based on cultivation alone. The competition was about who had stronger martial arts and more experience.

Guo Jinglong's sword energy was as cold as a dragon, but under Liu Zhenwei's three mysterious blades that were deliberately aimed at him, all the ice and snow melted away, and danger was surging all around him.

The battle scene between the two was astonishing, with sword energy running rampant. The sand was torn apart wherever it passed by. The icy sword energy froze the sand and covered it with frost, which was then shattered and melted by the violent hot true energy. Even the sand showed signs of melting!

Guo Jinglong felt more and more frustrated as the fight went on. After a few rounds, he was doing more defense than attack. Especially with the powerful and heavy Three Mysterious Blades, it was not a wise move to confront them head-on.

His heart was filled with rage and fighting spirit. He had no choice but to exert 100% of his strength and simply gave up on defense. He used the Wandering Dragon Sword Technique to its fullest extent. Nine ice-blue sword dragons swept towards Liu Zhenwei from all directions, and dragon roars resounded throughout the area.

This is an attempt to exchange injury for life!

Liu Zhenwei saw through his intention and naturally would not fall into his rhythm. He immediately recalled the three mysterious blades that were about to chop Guo Jinglong, and a blazing red light burst out around his body. As he spun, it was like the sun protecting his body, crushing all nine sword energy ice dragons.

The scene was just like the Nine Dragons Fighting for the Pearl.

Taking advantage of this attack, Guo Jinglong immediately retreated to create some distance and get a moment to breathe.

But how could Liu Zhenwei let him have his wish? As the sword energy shattered the terrifying true energy, his body was covered with countless non-fatal fine wounds, and the wounds were frozen by the icy true energy. He ignored his own condition and continued to kill Guo Jinglong with the three mysterious blades, shouting fiercely: "What a wonderful Wandering Dragon Sword Technique, Nine Dragons Across the Sky, Sect Leader Guo, is this your limit? It's not enough. If that's all, then you will die!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed it down. The three mysterious blades were like red-hot steel, bursting out with a bright and sharp red edge and slashing towards Guo Jinglong.

Guo Jinglong wanted to exchange his injury for his life, and he would use his strongest killing move to get rid of Liu Zhenwei even if he had to take a blow from the Three Mysterious Blades. However, Liu Zhenwei chose to give up the attack and withdraw his weapon to resist. After the move was broken, he attacked again with some minor injuries!
There was no way to avoid it, and Guo Jinglong could only raise his sword to block it in a hurry. The ice-blue and almost transparent Frost Sword emitted a dazzling sword light, but was chopped back by the red Three Profound Blades.

"Hmph, Master Liu, all you can do is talk big?" Guo Jinglong sneered as he kept retreating.

Liu Zhenwei suddenly clapped his three mysterious blades again and said coldly, "You'll know soon whether it's a lie or not!"

The more violent Three Mysterious Blades made it difficult for Guo Jinglong to resist. He immediately wanted to take a strong breath to shake off the Three Mysterious Blades and dodge sideways.

But at this critical moment, the three mysterious blades that he was unable to defend against suddenly split into three. One of them was still suppressing him head-on, while the other two rolled up and down with the sword in his hand as the fulcrum, like two red crescent moons slashing towards him.

Even though they were so close, Guo Jinglong still responded with his rich experience in a hurry. He shook off Liu Zhenwei and the Three Mysterious Blades in front of him, used the force to bend in the air, and while dodging, he used a sword to sweep away the Three Mysterious Blades that were slashing down from above, and then stepped on the inside of the Three Mysterious Blades below and pushed it into the sand.

This was the best he could do. Forcing his energy through him had already caused him internal injuries. He suppressed the blood that was about to spurt out of his mouth and distanced himself. Guo Jinglong sneered, "Master Liu, you've already told me the names of the Three Mysterious Blades. How could I not be on guard against such a change?"

Liu Zhenwei grinned and said, "Really? Then can you really defend against it?"

As he spoke, he attacked again with great force. One of the three black blades was stepped into the ground by Guo Jinglong. He stretched out his hand and combined the remaining two into one. Driven by his true energy, they rotated rapidly in two different directions and hit Guo Jinglong directly.

Guo Jinglong, who had already suffered internal injuries, had to use all his strength to swing his sword again. The dragon-shaped sword energy flew across the sky in an attempt to block the two incoming three-profound blades, but the dragon-shaped sword energy was shattered in a moment under the sweep of the three-profound blades and still attacked him directly.

He had no choice but to continue blocking with his sword. Although the sword energy was sharp, it was still no match for a real weapon. Clang clang clang!

The two three-mysterious blades were blocked by the Frost Condensation Sword, but they were still spinning rapidly clockwise and counterclockwise, as if they were going to chop the Frost Condensation Sword in half.

At this moment, Guo Jinglong heard his son Guo Sihai's exclamation of warning from a distance.

"Dad, be careful behind you~!"

Guo Jinglong was startled and suddenly realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

The sand behind him suddenly cracked, and the three mysterious blades that he had stepped into the ground flew out, spinning and piercing his heart with a whoosh, revealing a three-foot-long section of the blade, which was stuck in his body by his powerful physique and true energy.

His heart had been pierced, and Guo Jinglong's vitality was rapidly fading. He could no longer hold back and spit out a mouthful of blood. All his strength was gone, and it seemed difficult for him to even lift the Frost Sword in his hand.

He was already "dead", and Liu Zhenwei did not pursue the victory. Instead, he retracted the three mysterious blades, especially the one that pierced Guo Jinglong's heart, which went straight through his body, leaving a wound more than a foot long on his body.

The three mysterious blades merged into one, and Liu Zhenwei laughed loudly, "I told you, Sect Master Guo, can you defend against this?"

"You... have good skills. The Three Mysterious Blades are indeed extraordinary and hard to guard against," Guo Jinglong, whose vitality was rapidly disappearing, looked at Liu Zhenwei and said reluctantly.

Guo Jinglong then used his remaining strength to draw out the Frost Condensation Sword and flew it towards Guo Sihai. He spoke in a weak but clear voice, "Sihai, the Hanshan Sword Sect will be handed over to you from now on. Your father's skills are inferior to others, and you can't blame others for your death in a fair fight. Remember, don't think about avenging me, otherwise I will be too ashamed to face anyone after your father dies..."

As he finished speaking, he took his last breath and fell silent. Blood gushed out of his chest, but even in death, he still stood there upright.

The innate master Guo Jinglong, the leader of the Hanshan Sword Sect, died here, and a generation of masters became a thing of the past.

"Grandpa~!"

Guo Qingxue, who witnessed all this, burst into tears immediately. She wanted to go over but was held tightly by the disciples of Hanshan Sword Sect. They were all extremely sad and angry, but there was nothing they could do.

It all happened so fast that there was no time to stop it. Jueruo and others stood up in shock.

In fact, from the initial test fight between the two to Guo Jinglong's death, it only took one or two minutes to decide the outcome and life and death.

Even though Guo Sihai, a bystander, rushed over when he saw three mysterious blades appear behind Guo Jinglong and warned him, he was still too late to help.

"Dad~!"

Guo Sihai caught the Ningshuang Sword in mid-air and in two flashes he was beside Guo Jinglong. He knelt on the ground with red eyes, unable to accept this fact.

Even Guo Jinglong was dead. In order to prevent Liu Zhen from getting angry and killing Guo Sihai, Jueruo and others also rushed here quickly and were on guard.

Gently laying Guo Jinglong's body flat on the ground, Guo Sihai stood up and looked at Liu Zhenwei, gritting his teeth and saying, "Although the hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable, this is a fair fight, and I have to listen to my father's last words. Master Liu, now that things have come to this, please allow me to take my father's body back for burial."

Of course, he couldn't let go of the hatred for his father's murder, but if he didn't have enough strength, he would die in vain, so he could only take a long-term view.

"Infinite World Honored One...", Jueruo lowered his head and sighed.

The others also had complicated expressions and sighed, but more of them were alert and cautious.

After Liu Zhenwei won, he said cheerfully: "I will not make things difficult for a corpse. Brother Guo, just take it away."

Just when everyone was secretly relieved, Liu Zhenwei's tone suddenly changed and he said in a deep voice: "The prerequisite is that you can take away Sect Leader Guo's body alive!"

"What are you going to do? Do you want to kill all of us?" Taoist Xuanqing said with a serious expression.

Liu Zhenwei was talking about them, not just Guo Sihai and the people from Hanshan Sword Sect, so he had to speak up.

Shaking his head slightly, Liu Zhenwei grinned and said, "Don't get me wrong. Although Sect Leader Guo is strong, I feel he's still a little short of his level. Just a little short, not enough. So I'd like to trouble you all to attack together and use all your strength. Either kill me, help me break through, or be killed by me. There is no fourth possibility!"
