Chapter 144: Dragon-Slaying Treasure Sword

  Li Zhenghua solemnly held the glowing scroll in his hands and stuck it to a place with a square recess in the middle of the silver wall.

  The wall suddenly emitted a rumbling sound, sounding like the sound of gears meshing, and then the wall slowly opened to both sides.

  "Come on, the boss has been operating in Ning City for many years and has accumulated a lot of treasures." Li Zhenghua walked into the treasury with a hint of pride.

  Hu Gao and Yun Feng were like two country bumpkins who had entered a grand mansion, instantly overwhelmed by the dazzling array of treasures that sparkled with various colors!

  "Ning City is indeed the most prosperous commercial city in the southern part of Longhua Country. A small trading firm can hide so many precious artifacts, it's truly breathtaking." Yun Feng exclaimed.

  "Treasures of different origins are hard to come by, it's not about being expensive but about being precious. With 200 million gold coins, you might be able to buy two mid-grade treasures at best." Li Zhenghua smiled and walked a few steps further into the corner before stopping.

  Turning back, he found that Yunfeng and Hu Gao were both stunned there without following up. Li Zhenghua was a bit speechless, "Don't be fooled by those dazzling guys, they're just deceitful tricks used by unscrupulous craftsmen to cheat novice warriors."

  Hu Gao and Yun Feng exchanged a glance, swallowed the saliva that had flowed into their mouths, and then walked to Li Zhenghua's front.

  Li Zhenghua pointed at a sandalwood rack in front of him and said, "You can choose any treasure on it as you like."

  Hú Gāo tiào shàng qián kàn le kàn, jià zi shàng bǎi de dōng xī bìng bù duō, zhǐ yǒu yī bǎ àn dàn wú guāng de hēi jiàn, yī jiàn kàn qǐ lái hěn báo de hù jiǎ, rán hòu shì jǐ jiàn zěn me yě rèn bu chūlái de xiǎo wán jì.

  "What's this treasure?" Hu Gao pointed at a round disk-like thing and asked curiously.

  "This is a treasure that can transmit sound over a thousand miles, but it can only be used ten times."

  "What about this?" Hu Gao pointed at another thing that looked a bit like Dangdang and asked.

  "This is a Town Soul Bell, as long as enough yuan force is urged, it can exert its effect, and can shock the heart of a warrior, in battle can play out its unexpected effect."

  It sounds pretty good, but Hu Gao already has the Blood Snake, and doesn't need this. It seems that the treasure of the Totem Continent is similar to a magic artifact, and the creator can make various effects according to their imagination, no wonder people say that cultivators are nothing without wealth, land, and methods, having money makes things easier.

  "This sword looks strange." Yun Feng wasn't attracted to those small trinkets, instead he picked up the dark and mysterious treasure sword.

  The treasured sword felt icy cold in his hand, but its master was a killer. However, Yun Feng couldn't sense any murderous aura from this sword. It's said that top-grade treasures have a spiritual nature, but this black sword seemed like an inanimate object.

  "This sword is called Dragon Slayer!" Li Zhenghua pointed to the intersection of the hilt and blade, saying, "Unfortunately, this sword has lost its sword soul, leaving only an empty shell, with power less than one ten-thousandth of its original."

  "Could it be that this is still a top-grade treasure?" Yun Feng was shocked, he too had seen the two curved and twisted small characters engraved on the black sword, "Dragon Slayer", this name was quite grandiose, it seemed to have a very impressive origin.

  "Heh heh, can't say much about it, I don't recommend you choose it, if I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Wu Xu Jian Guan, right?" As if afraid that Yun Feng would take away his treasured sword, Li Zhenghua's wrist shook and Zhan Long returned to its original place on the rack.

  Yun Feng nodded, and it was no surprise that Wuxiang Academy in Longhua Country was recognized as a different school.

  "This sword has an evil nature and will devour the spiritual energy of warriors. I think this means something to you, so I won't say more." Li Zhenghua said calmly.

  "Is it that interesting?" Hu Gao heard Li Zhenghua's introduction and became even more interested. The Shadowless Sword he was using now was still a cheap thing he had snatched from the Guo family, so he simply took down the Dragon Slayer again from the shelf.

  The dragon-slaying sword is over three feet long, with a wide and thick blade. The surface of the blade is covered in strange, black, thorny protrusions, like those found on a porcupine, making it look quite intimidating. The hilt is also black, with spiral patterns etched into it, and has a depression about the size of a goose egg in the middle. From the edges of the depression, it appears that something was once inlaid there.

  Hú Gāo swung the treasured sword with a flourish, feeling some strain on his arm. With his current strength, the estimated weight of this sword was at least over thirty catties, which could be considered extremely heavy. "Huff, huff, it seems that it's not suitable for me either."

  Li Zhenghua seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Hu Gao say this, "This sword was forged by Mei Jian Chi, one of the Ten Great Sages, in his later years for Emperor Li Hu of the Heaven's Chosen Empire. Li Hu had a large and powerful build, so this sword is longer and thicker than ordinary swords."

  Eyebrow between inches? This name sounds familiar, should be seen in a certain book, but Hu Gao can't think of it.

  "How much is this sword?" Hu Gao suddenly said.

  Li Zhenghua was startled by Hu Gao's words. He didn't expect that this guy would even turn the conversation into a fight. "Brother Hu, are you sure?"

  Hu Gao nodded, anyway money was just a material thing, buying whatever was the same, encountering a dragon-slaying sword that sounded so cool, even if it wasn't useful, putting it in the spatial ring first wouldn't hurt.

  "Alright, this precious sword is worth more than a regular mid-grade treasure. Considering the boss's share, let's call it 30 million gold coins."

  "No problem, just like that. So, with the remaining 10 million gold coins, would you mind helping my brother choose a defensive treasure?" Hu Gao said nonchalantly.

  Yun Feng shook his head, "Treasures are external things, it's better for Hu Gao brothers to keep them for themselves."

  Hu Gao suddenly said seriously, "Yun Feng, a gentleman does not stand under a precarious wall. I know you want to be a sacred and pure swordsman, but before that, I hope you can survive first! I can feel it now, Ning City is like a stormy weather, we must make sufficient preparations."

  Yun Feng sighed, "Well, it's okay!" He naturally understood Hu Gao's meaning and knew that his own strength was limited. Many times he would become a burden to someone else. Spending 10 million to create a defensive treasure was indeed a bit extravagant.

  "It's no wonder he's the heir of the Hu family, his move is indeed extraordinary." Li Zhenghua said with a wry smile, as if he hadn't made a fortune but had given away some precious treasure.

  "Li boss is wrong in saying that, money is just a dead object. If it can increase the chances of victory for brothers in battle, no matter how much it costs, it should be spent."

  "Alright, I'll take it. Thank you for the advice!" Li Zhenghua started searching in the treasury and after a long while, he found two precious artifacts and handed them over.

  "This piece, called the Lan Shield, is also made by a famous master and has a very strong effect of absorbing elemental attacks. Most importantly, it's light and soft, making it very comfortable to wear. As for this green treasure, called the Healing Pearl, it has a very strong healing function that can quickly recover internal injuries. These two pieces should be very suitable for you, brother."

  Hu Gao nodded, the elemental system is indeed a natural nemesis of swordsmen, and with these two treasures to protect himself, it has a very important role for Yun Feng.

  "So much thanks." Yun Feng didn't hesitate, took the treasure and put it on his body. Indeed, just as Old Master Li said, he didn't feel any discomfort at all.

  Hu Gao put the dragon slayer into the spatial ring. "Today, there's been a lot of trouble, next time if there's anything good, I'll definitely sell it to Old Man Li first."

  "Alright, alright, just one more sentence, the dragon slayer is an ominous thing, don't underestimate it." Li Zhenghua said seriously.

  "Thanks for reminding me, I will definitely remember it, and with that, we bid farewell."

  As they walked out of the trading firm, Hu Gao turned back and said, "That middle-aged boss just now didn't have a hint of aura, can you sense his state?"

  Yun Feng shook his head, "Looks like he's just an ordinary person."

  "Is that so? I dare say, neither of us can withstand a single move from that guy." Hu Gao said with certainty, "Just now when he took the Dragon Slayer back from you, he accidentally revealed a trick. Otherwise, I wouldn't have forced myself to buy that sword."

  "Just now you said that a gentleman does not stand under a precarious wall, but every time you are doing adventurous things." Yun Feng was somewhat speechless.

  "Hehe, because I still have something to say. A person's success depends on how much risk he is willing to take." Hu Gao waved his hand, "There must be a huge secret hidden in this trading house. Since Fat Boss left me a letter, Li Zhenghua will definitely not make a move against me."

  "I haven't even asked you yet, who is this 'fat boss' you're talking about?" Yun Feng was dragged all the way here by Hu Gao, completely bewildered.

  "A master of the highest level, so high that you can't imagine, the map we went to Yao Mu's tomb before was given to me by him." Hu Gao didn't want to think about these issues that were too far away from himself now, he took out Boss Dan's letter and opened it to read.

  "First of all, congratulations are in order for you; being able to see this letter means that you have already obtained the thing."

  Unfortunately, I can no longer see it.

  The old man is really getting more timid as he gets older. You keep that thing, I hope you can use it in the right place.

  I think someday you will understand what I mean.

  Let the wind blow away these rotten old things of ours.

  "Hope to see you at sea!"

  Inexplicable…… This was Hu Gao's first reaction after finishing the letter, he couldn't understand it and read it repeatedly several times, still not getting it, especially the last sentence "Hope to see you at Hope Sea", he had never heard of these four words before, what kind of word game is this fat boss playing?

  Just as Hu Gao was at a loss for what to do, a black figure suddenly floated over like a ghost.

  "Hu Gao be careful!" Yun Feng was not affected by the letter at all, his spirit was highly concentrated, and as soon as he saw the black figure, a series of attacks came forth to meet it head-on.

  "Cloud Fung, don't!" Hu Gao's eyesight was extremely good, he hadn't felt any killing intent just now, but when he saw the face of that black shadow, he hastily shouted to stop Cloud Fung's action!

  Unfortunately, his words were a step too late. The dark shadow was struck by Yunfeng's countless sword energies and fell directly into Hu Gao's arms.

  "Colorful!"
