Chapter 722: Dragon Blade
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Upon mentioning the Dragon Blade, Tianshan Elder took Xiao Luo and the others towards the mountain peak behind her cave.
After arriving at the peak, they could spot a small lake about ten feet in diameter. The lake was clear and hot steam rose from its surface. It looked like a fairytale. They could feel the temperature was slightly higher than normal.
“The mountains of Tianshan are frozen all year round, why is there a lake here?”
Xiao Quanren looked around. His face was filled with doubt. He walked towards the lake and raised out his hands to feel the water. With a look of disbelief on his face, “The water here is actually warm!”
At that moment, Gu Qianxue softly whispered into Xiao Luo’s ears: “Xiao Luo, this is the hot spring that I previously mentioned.”
“I see.” Xiao Luo nodded his head.
Elder Long as if figuring something out, asked Tianshan Elder: “Junior sister, don’t tell me you’ve hidden the Dragon Blade beneath the river?”
“Why is that not possible?”
Tianshan Elder took a quick look at Elder Long, and said, “The Dragon Blade produces heat at least twelve hours a day. It’s so hard to take a warm bath in the Tianshan mountains. By putting it there, it can melt all the snow and ice to create a natural hot spring. During our spare time, I always take our showers in here with Little Snow.”
After hearing that, Xiao Quanren was completely speechless. He wondered how crazy Tianshan Elder was for her to use the Dragon Blade to create a hot spring for her baths.
Gu Qianxue’s face turned slightly red. Her master saying things like that inevitably made her feel a little bit shy.
On the other hand, Elder Long’s chin was about to drop. With horror, he said to Tianshan Elder: “Junior sister, if master hears about this from the netherworld, don’t you think you’ll anger him to die again? Forget about that, you probably can’t even close the coffin lid!”
“Stop your stinky dogsh*t nonsense. I’m making the best use of it. You don’t know sh*t!” Tianshan Elder spit at his face while saying that.
Elder Long helplessly wiped the saliva off his face and was speechless.
“Stinky dogsh*t brat, go to the bottom of the lake and retrieve the Dragon Blade.” Tianshan Elder shouted.
“Okay.”
Xiao Luo walked forward. He didn’t jump into the lake. Instead, he stretched out both of his palms, and exercised his powers. He used the True Inner Force and released it from his palms. True Inner Force turned into two invisible barriers, dividing the warm lake into two.
As Xiao Luo’s spread both sides, water rushed from the middle to the two sides and slowly revealed the dry bottom of the lake.
“Gulp~”
Gu Qianlin who was standing right at the back couldn’t help but swallow a bit of saliva. She was finally realizing now that she and Xiao Luo belonged to two different worlds, or perhaps more accurately, the both of them were at different levels. Xiao Luo who was splitting the lake was like a god, there was nothing he couldn’t do. Compared to him, she was as tiny as an ant.
The bottom of the lake was uneven and filled with mountain rocks you could find anywhere. Following the splitting of the lake, the bottom of the lake was looking wider and wider, and not too long after, a blade that was in a scabbard could be seen. It stood tall and lay at the bottom of the lake inside a scabbard. There was a golden dragon printed on the scabbard and its hilt. When combined together, it formed a five-clawed golden dragon.
“I haven’t seen this in more than a thousand years, to think that the Dragon Blade still looks the same.”
Elder Long excitedly sucked the blade through the air into his hands. He couldn’t help but play around with it, looking at it with his pair of turbid eyes. “Looking at it is like looking at our old master. I’m feeling so overwhelmed that I’m about to cry.” He turned his head around, looked at Tianshan Elder, and reprimanded her with a stern look, “Junior sister, you are way too much. How can you make use of the Dragon Blade to take bathes! Have you ever spared a thought for the dragon blade? I’m sure it’s extremely unwilling to do so.”
“Shut up!”
Tianshan Elder couldn’t be bothered to talk to him, and said to Xiao Luo, “Stinky dogsh*t brat, try to unsheathe the blade.”
“Let me try it first. I might not have enough powers in the past, but I haven’t been slacking in the past thousand years and have been practicing really hard. Maybe I might finally have the ability to pull it out now.” Thinking about the past, Elder Long was filled with much grievances.
While saying that, he put the blade above his head and tried to unsheathe it in the coolest pose possible with one hand on the scabbard and the other on the hild.
But even though he used all the strength he had, until the veins on his forehead were popping, the blade refused to budge. It didn’t look like he was able to unsheathe it, and in the end, his face turned red, and he slowly gave up.
“Senior, you can’t even unsheathe the blade?”
Xiao Quanren found it extremely hard to believe. It was just a blade, how was it possible that he couldn’t unsheathe it? This was way too unrealistic.
Elder Long was a little bit embarrassed. He threw the blade over to Xiao Quanren, and said unkindly: “Since you’re that confident, you try it.”
Xiao Quanren obeyed and tried to unsheathe the Dragon Blade. But after giving it a try, he realized that something didn’t seems right. It was as if the blade and the scabbard were fused together and wouldn’t move an inch at all. He eventually used up all the strength he had but still couldn’t do it.
He exclaimed: “What a strange blade!”
“You bet it’s strange. My master made this using heavenly cold iron and forged it over nine thousand, nine hundred, and eighty-one days. A sword spirit is already living inside it, if the dragon blade doesn’t acknowledge the person, then you can forget about using it,” Elder Long said as he stroked his non-existent beard.
“Dude called Long, I’m really happy that you’re aware of the limit to your own strengths,” Tianshan Elder sarcastically said.
“Junior sister, you…”
Elder Long was so ashamed that his face turned red again. He tried to change the subject in a hurry and grabbed the blade from Xiao Quanren, handing it over to Xiao Luo, “Xiao Luo, give it a try. The Dragon Blade is everything my master had. It might only recognize my master as its owner, even if you can’t unsheathe it, you don’t have to feel ashamed, since… oh no…”
While saying that, his voice came to an abrupt stop, and a terrified look could be seen on his face.
Tianshan Elder, Xiao Quanren, Gu Qianxue, and Gu Qianlin’s eyes were all wide opened. Just as Xiao Luo took over the blade, he managed to unsheathe it casually with ease.
As the blade was unsheathed, a majestic sword-like aura spread out into their surroundings with the blade as the center. A golden aura in everyone’s heart, as if a golden dragon was soaring and roaring, struck into everyone’s soul.
“Oh my bloody god!”
Elder Long couldn’t help but swear. He used up all the strength he had and still couldn’t unsheathe it, but Xiao Luo was able to do it without much effort at all. He could have never imagined that this would be possible.
“The blade acknowledges Luo as its owner.” Xiao Quanren was extremely excited.
Tianshan Elder looked at Xiao Luo in disbelief: “You stinky brat…”
Xiao Luo frowned a little because the dragon blade is currently sucking up his True Inner Force. As it sucked his True Inner Force, the golden aura slowly disappeared, and was replaced with a crimson light. The entire body of the blade and the scabbard that was black in color slowly turned into a devilish red. The blade that was originally warm and produced a whole lot of heat, turned cold, and it was the kind of cold that was capable of causing one to shiver uncontrollably.
