Everything happened very fast. From the moment Junior Leopard opened his Fiery Eyes to the moment he found the mysterious vibration ripple, to the moment he retreated and the ripple shattered everything around him into powder, it was only a breath's time.
"What a vicious trick!" Junior Leopard was in the air, looking at the situation around him. An astonished thought flashed through his mind. He secretly rejoiced that he had the abnormal eyes like the Fiery Eyes. Otherwise, even if he died, he would not know what was going on.
Seeing Junior Leopard suddenly dodge before he was hit, the black-clothed man was shocked. He assumed the posture of preparing to attack just to confuse Junior Leopard and make him think that he was preparing to attack, so that Junior Leopard would relax his vigilance. Junior Leopard would not think that his attack had actually started. Unexpectedly, Junior Leopard still dodged it.
When Junior Leopard dodged, a red light flashed through his eyes, which surprised him even more. The demonic and beautiful red flashed. After hiding in the Wu Family for many years, he knew that it was not caused by the Internal Qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire.
"Your eyes are really mysterious!"
The black-clothed man said softly. His figure flashed, and with the momentum of a thunderbolt, he fiercely pounced on Junior Leopard. Since the plot had failed, it was better to end the battle quickly. This guy was very clever and had many tricks. If he accidentally escaped, it would be difficult to find another opportunity like today!
It was better to kill him in one spurt of energy.
"Your eyes are really mysterious!"
When saying this, Junior Leopard's figure did not stop, but his heart trembled. Without thinking, he took out the 49 Demon Devil Needles.
He originally wanted to deal with the black-clothed man and get some information from him. However, the black-clothed man suddenly mentioned his eyes. Thinking of the legend about the Fiery Eyes, Junior Leopard naturally did not dare to neglect or hold back.
The black-clothed man did not expect that his subconscious words would immediately bring him a fatal disaster. With his cultivation of Level Five, he wanted to kill Junior Leopard, so his speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Junior Leopard. The odd-shaped long sword in his hand, with its Sword Qi soaring, chopped toward Junior Leopard's head. Junior Leopard pointed forward with his hand, and the dragon-shaped stripe around him met the sword light of the black-clothed man.
"Humph!" In the air, the black-clothed man only sneered when he saw the dragon-shaped stripe. The second state of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique was marvelous. It could condense the Internal Qi around the body into a substance and turn it into a Fire Dragon to attack. At the highest state, it could condense nine powerful Fire Dragons. Unfortunately, Junior Leopard's cultivation was too low. With the cultivation of Level Three, even if he forced his Internal Qi to condense into a Fire Dragon, the power of the Fire Dragon would not be taken seriously by him. His sword was condensed with the cultivation of Level Five, and it was condensed into Sword Qi. It was impossible for the Fire Dragon in front of him to block it. Junior Leopard did not dodge it. Did he really think that his Fire Dragon could block his Sword Qi?
As he sneered in his heart, he suddenly felt cold, as if he was frozen by the cold rain in the sky on a rainy day. Dozens of extremely thin cold air rushed into his body.
"This …!"
His last thought froze at one point. His pupils became slack in an instant, without a trace of spirit. The Sword Qi, which had lost control, also dissipated into nothingness in front of Junior Leopard. His body became stiff in the air and collided with the dragon-shaped stripe. With a boom, Junior Leopard's eyes burst into a ball of intense fire.
"Clang, clang …!" The oddly-shaped long sword fell at Junior Leopard's feet. The black-clothed man was burned into a big lump of coke by the dragon-shaped stripe. He fell to the ground and broke into pieces, leaving no trace of a human figure. A gust of mountain wind blew and turned into black ashes, dissipating in the air between the mountains.
Junior Leopard waved his hand and the 49 Demon Devil Needles returned to his sleeve. The dragon-shaped stripe also returned to Junior Leopard's side. Junior Leopard suddenly inhaled, and the stripe turned into two red lights, which were sucked into Junior Leopard's nostrils and disappeared.
With a gloomy face, Junior Leopard picked up the odd-shaped long sword at his feet. As soon as the long sword was in his hand, Junior Leopard could feel a cool spirit coming from his hand, penetrating his heart and spleen. His mood also calmed down.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the wavy blade of the long sword. In his mind, he recalled the strange, shattering shock wave just now.
"Shock, shatter …!" These two words echoed in Junior Leopard's mind. He always felt that in his previous life, he seemed to have learned about this in physics class. Unfortunately, as a glorious liberal arts student, he spent half of his physics class reciting English. As for what he learned in physics class, he had already returned it to the teacher decades ago. How could he still remember it?
Subconsciously, he penetrated his Internal Qi into the sword. The Internal Qi smoothly passed through the sword, and the sword body emitted a misty red light.
"Good sword!"
Feeling that his Internal Qi was unimpeded in the sword, Junior Leopard couldn't help but praise it in his heart. Junior Leopard was born in the Wu Family. Although he hadn't forged for a long time, he was still an expert in the identification of weapons. He was still very clear about the grades of a weapon. The weapons he had forged in Qingyang Market before were considered high-quality in Jianghu. They were incomparably sharp and could barely be said to be able to break a hair. He was also very satisfied with them. However, he also knew that they were only high-quality.
Ordinary people in Jianghu could use them to scare people, but in front of a real master, they might not be able to use them.
Martial arts masters, especially those whose cultivation of Internal Qi had reached a certain level, not only required their weapons to be sharp, but they also needed the weapon to be able to guide their Internal Qi and pour their own Internal Qi into it. In this way, they could use the weapon like they were moving their own limbs and fingers. Moreover, the longer they used the weapon, the deeper the connection between themselves and the weapon would be. Over time, there would be a mysterious connection between the person and the weapon, a kind of flesh and blood connection. In the end, the weapon would be like a part of the body, like a part of the body. This was the so-called Weapon Nurturing!
Therefore, a true martial arts master would never change his weapon at will. Many people would choose a fixed weapon and carry it with them for the rest of their lives after they achieved a certain level of martial arts. Relatively speaking, the sharpness of the weapon was secondary.
The Wu Family's weapons were famous for their sharpness. However, when a real master craftsman was forging, he wouldn't deliberately pursue sharpness. Instead, he would put all his effort into the forging process. Generally speaking, only a weapon that had passed the 40th refinement and had very few impurities could have the function of guiding Internal Qi. Of course, if you used some Mysterious Ores as the material, you might be able to guide Internal Qi just by making a mold. However, Mysterious Ores were extremely rare in the world. In the end, it still depended on your refining skills.
This kind of weapon that could guide Internal Qi was called a Genuine Weapon.
Like the two Kunai that Junior Leopard started to forge for himself, they could barely be called Genuine Weapons. However, their level was too low and they could only guide a very small part of Internal Qi. However, even so, if they were sold, they could at least be sold for 100 taels of silver.
However, when Junior Leopard injected his Internal Qi into the Strange Long Sword in front of him, he could actually use it freely. It was as if the Internal Qi was moving in his own body. It was an extremely rare Genuine Weapon.
"This is a good thing, but it's a pity that it's not suitable for me. Moreover, this guy's origin is unknown. God knows what kind of background he has. If I take this thing out, it might cause some trouble!" Junior Leopard thought in his heart. He thought that when he went to Misty Mountain to get something in a few days, he would leave this sword there to avoid trouble.
Just when he was about to take back his Internal Qi, a strange thing happened. He felt that when his Internal Qi passed through the wavy side of the weapon, it suddenly seemed to be attracted by something and began to circulate according to a fixed route. This was just like the Internal Qi circulating in the tendons and meridians of the body.
"Strange?!" Junior Leopard's heart skipped a beat. He suppressed the shock in his heart, took a light breath, and began to feel the Internal Qi circulating in the Long Sword.
"Buzz …!" A low buzzing sound came from the Long Sword. At the moment when this sound came out, Junior Leopard only felt that his Internal Qi in the sword seemed to be attracted by some force, and it began to tremble rapidly. Then, there was only a light wave sound, and a light red ripple spread out from the wavy blade, turning everything it touched into powder. However, compared with the one that the black-clothed man had displayed just now, the range of the ripple emitted from the sword this time seemed to be much smaller.
"This is …?" Junior Leopard's expression changed greatly. In his mind flashed the trajectory of his Internal Qi in the sword just now. "This is a secret skill, but it has been solidified in this weapon. Damn it, this is the craftsmanship of the Jian Family. Is he from the Jian Family?!"
By solidifying the secret skill in the weapon, the user didn't need to use the secret skill himself. He only needed to inject the Internal Qi into the weapon to display it. Although the power might not necessarily be as good as using it himself, there were many advantages. First, it saved the consumption of Internal Qi, and second, it didn't need to be so delicate to control the Internal Qi. Therefore, this kind of Genuine Weapon of the Jian Family was very popular. The craftsmanship of this kind of Genuine Weapon was also passed down from generation to generation in the Jian Family, and never passed on to outsiders.
"Is it because I injured their Elder in the underground fire vein last time, so the Jian Family came to find me? This is not impossible. The Jian Family and the Wu Family are rivals, and they also have a deep understanding of the Wu Family's Wild Hammering Skill. It is reasonable that they could take the initiative before I make a move. However, the Jian Family should know that I will soon become Li Yuan's personal guard. At the same time, the reason why I injured their Elder was also because of Wang She. Aren't they afraid of getting themselves into trouble? "
Junior Leopard had never thought of himself as a particularly important person. But now he was connected to the Wu Family, the Admiral of Zhonghe Prefecture, and the Chief of Tian Long Taoism. It was not the right time to find trouble with him and attack him rashly. Junior Leopard had never thought that he was a particularly important person.
