CHAPTER 41: The Sword Tip Returns
Chu Yang looked at the integrated stone wall, furrowing his brows: how to excavate the sword tip? It was buried deep underground.
At that moment, the Nine Calamity Sword in his dantian suddenly emitted a strong summoning intent, almost causing Chu Yang’s heart to leap out of his throat.
Gritting his teeth, he thought, I must do it, even if I can’t!
With a swift motion, Chu Yang drew out his longsword. As he exerted his inner strength, the cold air that had been devoured by the Nine Calamity Sword in his dantian surged forth, infusing into the blade. A plain steel longsword suddenly became crystal clear, radiating countless brilliant icy lights!
It vividly illuminated the cave around him!
Swish!
Chu Yang flicked his wrist, attempting to stab the sword tip into the stone wall below; he wanted to test its hardness before making further plans. However, he never expected that the sword would sink in as easily as if it were plunging into tofu, and with a swish it went in completely!
Chu Yang was overjoyed. Why is it so soft?
He tried to pinch the stone wall with his hand, but it didn’t budge, and his fingers ached from the impact. Realization struck him: only this strange cold air was the bane of this stone wall!
With the cold energy filling the longsword, Chu Yang angled the sword, pressing the edge inward, and with a forceful thrust, the blade carved a deep mark in the stone wall, about three feet long. Then, with a flurry of strokes, he carved out a rectangular shape, tossed the sword aside, placed both palms on the freshly cut stone block, and drew in a mighty breath!
With a puff, a stone block weighing several hundred pounds was easily pulled out and fell to the ground.
Chu Yang had no time to rest; he continued, extracting stone after stone, neatly stacking them on the ground. In no time, he was drenched in sweat!
On the ground lay nearly a hundred stones, each about the same size.
Once more, the longsword plunged in, and suddenly there was a metallic clang. In his dantian, the Nine Calamity Sword hummed and flew up, rapidly spiraling in excitement!
The sword tip!
As the last big stone was unearthed, Chu Yang’s eyes narrowed. Beneath this stone lay a gleaming sword tip quietly resting there.
It was about the size of a palm, with a sharp tip and faint white light on both sides, seemingly enveloped in a layer of pinkish hue—this was the blood light unique to a killer’s blade! A fierce aura wafted from the sword tip.
Without any wrapping or protection, this piece had been here for who knows how many years. Yet it still shimmered with cold light, and a subtle halo surrounded it!
Chu Yang felt his lips dry and his heart racing; after calming himself, he reached out and grasped the sword tip!
The moment he held it, Chu Yang’s brows furrowed, and beads of sweat poured down!
Though it had been buried for so many years and seemed to lack warmth, once in his hand, he found it scalding hot. As it touched the cold energy surging through Chu Yang's body, a fierce clash of cold and heat erupted, filling the stone chamber with a thick mist, to the point where he couldn’t see his own hands!
Moreover, a powerful aura suddenly burst forth, causing the sword tip in Chu Yang’s hand to tremble, as if it might slice through his palm and fly away!
Chu Yang exerted all his strength to resist! Confused, he thought, when I obtained the Nine Calamity Sword tip in my previous life, there were no such bizarre occurrences! Why is everything different this time around?
The sword tip’s struggle intensified. Chu Yang felt himself losing control, and finally, with a leap, the sword tip shot out, causing a deep gash in his palm!
As the sword tip seemed about to escape, he feared he might never find it again!
At that moment, a wave of furious emotion erupted in his dantian, and the nine calamity sword soul surged forth like lightning, racing through his meridians, and in the next instant, it had reached his palm!
Immediately, a peculiar force surged from Chu Yang’s palm into the Nine Calamity Sword tip! Upon contact with this power, the struggling sword tip suddenly calmed down!
