Chapter 1199 – Fetching the Sword

After the lid of the ware furnace was removed, the heavy sword within it, was presented in its entirety.

The heavy sword is about a foot wide, about half a zhang long, the whole body is basalt black, at first glance, there is nothing special.

The only way to feel its extraordinary features was to examine it in detail.

Xu Chuniang raised her hand and lightly touched the hilt.

Unlike the cold touch she had imagined, the heavy sword was actually hot to the touch, so hot that it not only burned her hand, but also set the corner of her coat on fire.

Xu Chuniang withdrew her hand and waved out the flame on the corner of her coat, but the hot touch remained between her palms.

The shopkeeper saw her actions in his eyes, and couldn’t help but mutter in his heart.

This heavy sword is so heavy, this guest’s cultivation doesn’t look high, can he move the heavy sword?
Xu Chuniang didn’t know what was in the shopkeeper’s mind, she raised her hand again and probed towards the heavy sword in front of her.

This time, she was well-prepared and did not get burned by the temperature of the heavy sword again.

It was just that the heavy sword in her hand did not move even though she had exerted all her strength.

The shopkeeper watched this scene and originally had some expectations, but as a result, after waiting for half a quarter of an hour, the heavy sword did not show any sign of being lifted.

Obviously, this guest’s strength was far from enough to lift the heavy sword.

He gauged the complexion of the person in front of him and spoke cautiously.

“Guest, I will first say the ugly words in front, this heavy sword small store has cast out, also at your disposal, if you can’t take away this heavy sword, can have nothing to do with small store.”

“Don’t worry, if I can’t take this sword, it’s my own incompetence, I can’t rely on you.”

Xu Chuniang let out a light laugh and withdrew her hand, her gaze faintly sweeping the shopkeeper.

“I’m going to start fetching the sword, please ask the shopkeeper to evade for a moment or two.”

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, he still wanted to see how the other party was going to remove this heavy sword.

Now that he was given an order to expel, it would not be good to stay here anymore.

“Alright, if there is anything you need, you can mention it to us anytime.”

After seeing the shopkeeper off, Xu Chuniang unhurriedly withdrew her gaze and looked at the heavy sword once again, a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

These several million magic crystals of forging fees had not been spent in vain, and after this heavy sword was cast, its effect was even better than she had imagined.

It was just that if she wanted to take away this heavy sword, it would indeed take some maneuvering.

Xu Chuniang mobilized her Chaotic True Qi and condensed the Law of Light, sealing it into the heavy sword.

The power of the Laws sealed within the heavy sword transformed into a tiny pattern that appeared on top of the sword.

The Law of Light was a twin law of the Law of Heaviness, sealing the Law of Light into it could make the heavy sword lighter.

However, the heavy sword’s was simply too heavy, and this point of the Law of Light was far from being able to offset its weight.

Xu Chuniang’s fingers fluttered, working non-stop, continuously sealing a Law of Light into the heavy sword, and with each additional pattern on the heavy sword, the weight of the sword became lighter.

In the end, the Chaotic True Qi in her body was consumed, in exchange for the densely-packed tiny patterns on the sword.

The weight of the heavy sword was also weakened to its limit, unable to hold any more Laws of Light.

Xu Chuniang gripped the hilt of the sword and lifted it with all her might, and the heavy sword, which was originally as stable as Mount Taishan, finally trembled after having weakened ninety-nine percent of its weight, showing signs of being shaken.

Taking a deep breath, she firmly gripped the hilt with both hands, and with all her strength, she began to fetch the sword.

As time passed, the sword trembled more and more.

Xu Chuniang was sweating like a pig, her veins rippled, and her body trembled violently from exerting herself too much.

Even this imaginary body, which had gathered 90% of her strength, began to dissipate because it had overdrawn too much power.

She didn’t care about the body that was vaporizing, and used all her strength to pull out the heavy sword bit by bit.

The moment the heavy sword was pulled out, only a few crunching sounds could be heard, and the artifact furnace that carried the heavy sword completely crumbled into pieces.

Xu Chuniang lowered her head and swept her eyes at the fragments on the ground, barely managing to put the heavy sword into space.

Just after putting the heavy sword away, this body, completely turned into nothingness.

The moment the virtual body dissipated, the main body, which was participating in guarding the formation and fighting against the dust storm turbulence, felt a strong sense of exhaustion.

The heavy sword was cast from heavy stone, and its weight was as high as several million pounds, and even though she had utilized the Law of Lightness to cut down on its weight as much as possible, this time, retrieving the sword had still consumed a lot of her energy.

But all these preparations were not in vain after all, with the heavy sword in her hands, she had to hurry and find a chance to sneak back to the Golden Que Palace.

Xu Chuniang’s figure moved slightly, quietly shifted half an inch to the right, and was indeed quickly struck by the dust storm turbulence that raged in mid-air, spitting out blood from her serious injuries.

Seeing this, the leading cultivator in command of the battle could only helplessly order her to retreat from the battlefield and replace her with someone else.

“This injury of yours is too heavy, retreat first and honestly recuperate.”

“Yes.

Xu Chuniang retreated with a miserable face, taking advantage of the fact that the crowd’s attention wasn’t on her, she detached herself from the front line as she wished, and returned to the Golden Que Palace.

Just as she stepped into the Golden Que Palace, a voice filled with majesty suddenly rang in her ears, “Where have you been?”

It was the Golden Armor King, hadn’t he led several Demon Kings to the North Gate to guard the formation, flawlessly distracted, how could he suddenly notice her?
Xu Chuniang’s mind moved with thoughts, but her face did not show any semblance of color as she explained her journey.

“When I saw the dust storm raging and the cultivators in the city doing their jobs, I thought it would be idle to go to the front line and guard the formation for a day.”

“After guarding the formation for a day, you actually suffered such serious injuries?”

The Golden Armored King’s demonic projection appeared in front of Xu Chuniang’s body, his eyes gradually deepening as he swept his gaze over her injuries.

Xu Chunniang lowered her head, a look of shame on her face.

“It was my carelessness, I was distracted while guarding the formation, my position shifted by half an inch, and I was inadvertently struck by the dust storm turbulence, and if it weren’t for the protection of the formation, I probably would have had to take even my life with me. ……”

The Golden Armored King frowned slightly and said in a disapproving tone.

“Dust storm turbulence attacking the city, the power is not trivial, this time you were lucky to pick up a life, next time you may not have such good luck. In the future, don’t act on your own like this day.”

Xu Chuniang was a person he was optimistic about, and might be able to be of use in the search for the Sacred Pool, if she died in the dust storm turbulence like this, wouldn’t it be a waste of his previous cultivation?

“I know.”

Seeing that Xu Chuniang had listened to his words, the Golden Armored King nodded slightly and lifted his hand from the void, a small porcelain bottle appearing in his hand out of thin air.

“This is some of the pills I obtained in my early years, now I can’t use them anymore, but it’s just right to give them to you, after you get well from your injuries, don’t feel free to leave the Golden Que Palace again.”

“Yes, many thanks to the king for giving the medicine.”

Xu Chuniang obediently accepted the pills, but her heart was clear.

The Golden Armor King had first arranged for her to live in the Golden Jade Pavilion, and now he had bestowed the medicine on her, seemingly valuing her, but in reality, it was her freedom that he was restricting.

These so-called “rewards” were only superficial.
