Devil Blade
Xia Fei had three blades: Celestial Moon, Bloodthirsty Screech, and the dagger used by the Adjudicator Union's special forces.
Xia Fei could not confirm the rank of Celestial Celestial Moon and Bloodthirsty Screech, but he estimated them to be around the Legendary rank based on their performance. The dagger from the Adjudicator Union, on the other hand, did not have a rank. Xia Fei usually used it to peel apples because he had an even higher rank dagger, the Lifeseeker Dagger.
Now that Xia Fei had traded the Lifeseeker Bone for the meteor ball, he no longer had a handy dagger to use. This Flying Snow was slender and crystalline, and it was obvious that it was no ordinary dagger. It was already at the primary rank of Eternal rank, making it a suitable replacement for the Lifeseeker Bone.
Every warrior didn't just need one weapon. Instead, they needed a complete set of defense and attack systems.
In Xia Fei's current equipment system, Celestial Moon was his main weapon. It had many functions, and its power was not to be underestimated. Moreover, when Xia Fei used psychokinesis, Celestial Moon's unique magnetic metal would greatly reduce the difficulty of controlling it, making it the best choice for psychokinesis.
The Bloodthirsty Screech's appearance was just as ferocious as its name. It was more than 1.5 meters tall and weighed more than a few hundred kilograms. Of course, this kind of huge weapon was not commonly used, but in certain special battles, such as when one needed to completely crush the enemy in one blow, its use would be reflected.
In terms of defense, the Legendary combat suit Bloodthirsty Ice God and the Cloud Zephyr combat boots for Eternal rank speed ability users all had formidable defense and speed bonuses. Moreover, Xia Fei was also hiding an Immortal rank weapon, the Butterfly Serpent. His entire set of equipment could be said to be perfect in both rank and performance.
If one were to talk about shortcomings, it would probably be short blades. The quality of the daggers used by the Adjudicator Union's special forces was indisputable, but unfortunately, good quality was not enough for a warrior to use their equipment. They also needed to have their own uniqueness. As the saying went, a worker must first sharpen his tools to do a good job, and any warrior with a bit of savings would always strive for the best in terms of their equipment. The slightest disparity could be a fatal factor that could tip the scales of a battle.
The short blade, Flying Snow, was placed in a transparent display case by the organizer of the trade fair. There were two tall and strong guards beside it, which showed the rarity and uniqueness of this weapon.
Several dozen Warriors from various Guilds crowded around and watched, their mouths filled with endless sighs. Unfortunately, the price of this weapon was quite high, and not everyone had the ability to trade for it.
"So this is Flying Snow." An old man with a goatee said in surprise. His eyes shone brightly. Obviously, he couldn't bear to part with this snow-white knife.
"Legend has it that the Flying Snow Dagger can kill without leaving a scar because of its unique cold attribute. The wound will immediately be sealed by the cold air attached to the dagger, and the blood vessels will be frozen, so no blood will flow."
"That's right. I heard that someone used Flying Snow to assassinate a wealthy gentleman. He stabbed him in the kidney, but the person who was stabbed didn't even feel any pain. It was only a few hours after the assassin left that he died from kidney failure."
"That's because the cold air attached to the Flying Snow will seal off the sensitive nervous system of the human body, causing them to instantly lose consciousness. Only when the cold air dissipates or when the body's functions are damaged will they be discovered. That's why this Flying Snow dagger is called a silent killing weapon."
Everyone was discussing this, and Xia Fei was quite touched. Was such a miraculous effect not exactly what he needed?
Xia Fei could also use Sly Thrust to stop the blood from flowing out, but the person he stabbed would still feel it, and the blood vessels would not be sealed for long.
If he used a silent killing weapon like Flying Snow, coupled with his Sly Thrust technique, he would definitely be able to achieve great things in the field of assassination. After all, assassination was about silently killing someone. The person who was stabbed would not feel anything, nor would they bleed. This divine weapon was practically tailor-made for Sly Thrust!
He looked at the items needed for the exchange. "One Purple Heart of Spirit. Weight must not be less than two hundred grams, and its color must be pure and transparent!"
His fingers stroked the spatial ring. The Purple Heart of Spirit inside was more than enough to trade for one hundred Flying Snow daggers. Xia Fei immediately decided to buy this Eternal rank dagger.
However, when Xia Fei thought about it, he realized that this was rather strange. No matter how precious a Purple Heart of Spirit was, it should not be enough to trade two hundred grams for an Eternal rank weapon. Today was already the second day of the high-level exchange, so why had no one bought this divine weapon yet?
It had to be known that two hundred grams of Purple Heart of Spirit for an Eternal rank Flying Snow dagger was not expensive at all.
Sure enough, there were a few others who were just as restless as Xia Fei. At this moment, a thin man wearing sunglasses suddenly sighed. "What a pity. Truly a pity."
The others did not understand and asked what was going on.
The thin man shook his head and helplessly said, "Although Flying Snow is good, it's a famous demonic blade. There have always been legends of it killing its master, and those who use this weapon will often end up dying in a foreign land. The murderer is this seemingly beautiful Flying Snow."
Many people didn't believe the skinny man's words. The skinny man sneered in a strange manner, threw down a sentence, and turned to leave.
"If you don't believe me, log on to the interplanetary internet and look it up. This is the age of the Internet, and it's very easy to find out what information you want. An Eternal rank dagger for two hundred grams of Purple Heart of Spirit? If this was a bargain, would you even have a chance?"
* Whoosh! *
Several dozen screens unfurled, and the doubtful crowd logged onto the interplanetary internet to search for information on Flying Snow.
After reading through, all of them had resentful looks on their faces, shaking their heads and reluctantly leaving.
"Is it really a demonic blade?" Phantom exclaimed.
Xia Fei also felt that it was a great pity. Such an excellent divine weapon was actually a demonic blade that had the reputation of killing its master!
There were actually legends about demonic blades on Earth. It was said that the shogunate Tokugawa Ieyasu's entire family had been injured by the Japanese blade Muramasa. Those who got off lightly were lightly injured, while those who got off badly died miserable deaths. Thus, Tokugawa Ieyasu named the Muramasa Demonic Blade and forbade its use.
However, Xia Fei kept an eye out. The thin man did not leave after commenting on Flying Snow. Instead, he continued to stroll around the trading hall on the first floor, occasionally glancing over as if he had something on his mind.
Xia Fei suddenly recalled a common tactic used by the people of the pugilistic world: Poisonous Tongue.
Poisonous Tongues were mostly eloquent and knowledgeable, but due to various reasons, they ended up wandering the streets. They would spread rumors and slander, specializing in attacking and slandering others. Sometimes, if an employer took a fancy to an item, and the item was very expensive, they would definitely feel the pain of buying it for a long time. In such a situation, they would hire a few poisonous tongues to spread unfavorable rumors, achieving their goal of scaring away other buyers.
When no one showed any interest in the item, those employers would swagger onto the scene, buying it back at an extremely low price and selling it at a higher price, profiting from it.
Xia Fei was an orphan who had grown up on the streets, so he naturally knew quite a bit about all kinds of crooked practices. Even his unwillingness to trust others was related to his experiences when he was young, and that stubbornness in his bones was a result of the tempering he had gone through in his early years.
Without batting an eyelid, Xia Fei opened the AI search page of the interplanetary internet and typed in Flying Snow, cursed blade, legend, master killer, and a series of other keywords to conduct an AI search across the entire internet, automatically skipping over all the rumors and only searching for information that could be verified.
The power of the interplanetary internet was not only reflected in its interoperability, allowing anyone to share the same network even if they were at the ends of the earth. Its functionality was equally dazzling. Due to his relationship with Avril, Xia Fei could use all the high-end functions of the interplanetary internet for free, so customizing a professional search was naturally not a problem.
The search and AI filtering process took some time, so Xia Fei remained by Flying Snow's side.
It did not take long for several dozen warriors to gather. They, too, greatly admired Flying Snow, but a plump man quickly reminded them that Flying Snow was a cursed blade that had killed its master, dispelling their desire to buy it.
Two hundred grams of Purple Hearts of Spirit was no trifling matter. Not everyone could afford to risk so much money.
Xia Fei thought for a few moments before taking out the list of items that Mosquito had given him yesterday and found the pricing section.
Just yesterday, the price of this Flying Snow had been three hundred grams of Purple Hearts of Spirit, but today, it had dropped to two hundred grams.
His suspicions deepened, and Xia Fei slowly extended his hand, pretending that he was about to reveal the token. At the same time, he observed the reactions of the two men from the corner of his eye.
As expected, the two of them were startled, and their expressions became incomparably nervous.
His lips curled into a smile, and Xia Fei unhesitatingly took off the token, weighing it in his palm. At the same time, he looked playfully at the increasingly pale faces of the two men with venomous tongues, feeling quite pleased with himself.
There was a chip inside the token, and as long as it came into contact with his pass, a trade signal would be generated, and the trade center would immediately know who had bought the item. The staff would immediately take it off the shelves and replace it with another item, and the entire transaction would be considered a success. As for the fees, they only needed to pay within three days, which was very convenient.
Sure enough, the small screen next to the display case showed that it had been sold, and several staff members quickly moved the Flying Snow away, replacing it with a three-pointed, double-edged blade.
"Flying Snow is a cursed blade. What if it's really inauspicious? This isn't a problem of money. It's a cursed blade that kills its master, and whoever obtains it will suffer. " Phantom grumbled. "I know you don't believe in something like a cursed blade, but you should at least wait until the interplanetary internet search results come out."
Xia Fei smiled. "No need. I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
He got up and went upstairs, and the two venomous tongues also left with their heads drooping. At this moment, the microcomputer gently vibrated, and the results of the interplanetary internet search were out.
The second floor was the face-to-face trade area, where participants could hold their items and haggle over the price.
Xia Fei was not in a hurry to look at the items. Instead, he went to the rest area and sat comfortably on the sofa. He ordered a cup of tea and slowly checked the results of the interplanetary internet search.
Phantom was also nervously watching from the side. After all, no one would want a cursed blade that had the infamy of killing its master.
