This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome Chapter 224 - Dragonslayer

Chapter 224: Dragonslayer

“Yes, I will definitely make it worth your while when the time comes, Mr. Lu,” s.h.i.+da Miwako bowed slightly and said.

“Well then, I best get going,” Lu Xuan replied.

Yang Chengsi only spoke when they both left the manor, “Master, this woman is really not someone to be trifled with.”

“Yeah,” Lu Xuan nodded and said.

“This s.h.i.+da Miwako woman is anything but weak. She’s already at Deity Level, and becoming an Invincible Vajra would also only be a matter of time. She knows well enough of what I’m capable of. If the job is to simply kill an Invincible Vajra, this piece of Taiyi Metal is more than enough to serve as payment.”

“Yet, she went through such lengths just to get acquainted with me. You can tell from that one fact that the one she wants me to kill will be anything but easy,” Lu Xuan elaborated plainly.

It was entirely up to him to decide if he wanted to do her such a favor, but all of that nonetheless proved that her goals were definitely anything but straightforward and simple.

Yang Chengsi nodded in response. That piece of Taiyi Metal was a very tempting offer to him. If someone were to hire him to kill someone else, even if the target were to be an Invincible Vajra, such an offer would have been enough to get him to work.

Weapons forged using Taiyi Metal would have boosted his combat capacity significantly after all.

That was why he was able to tell that the woman was up to something really troublesome.

“Take a look into the background of this s.h.i.+da Miwako woman. I have a feeling that things are gonna be anything but simple,” Lu Xuan added matter-of-factly.

He had no fear of whatever she was plotting, but he hated the idea of being made someone else’s tool and get someone else’s dirty work done.

“Will do,” Yang Chengsi replied.

“Get me someplace quiet. I need to train in isolation for some time,” Lu Xuan then added.

Yang Chengsi nodded and got Lu Xuan a manor. The place was one of the properties that belonged to a company operating under Yang Chengsi’s name. The place was vacant at the moment and served coincidentally as the ideal place for one such purpose.

Lu Xuan began shutting himself inside and forged his weapon, after laying down a defensive formation around the manor.

He took out Bloodthirst from the box, intending to use the blade as the core for forging a new sword. The addition of that piece of Taiyi Metal would be more than sufficient to make that sword into a true power item.

That sword would also serve as his trump card.

At current stages with the world, there were few experts capable of forging such items, but Lu Xuan’s expertise in the art was nonetheless sufficient to make him a master.

The Bloodthirst hovered before Lu Xuan, emanating a faint scent of bloodl.u.s.t.

Lu Xuan performed a hand seal, and at the very next moment, a wisp of seemingly cold, eerie flame burst in his hand. The flames were snow-white and looked extremely spooky.

He felt his Spiritual Qi reserves suffer a sharp drop the very second that burst of flames came into being.

Despite having inborn Taoism apt.i.tude, his rate of regeneration was unable to do more than maintain his reserves from the frightening consumption of the flames, slowing said rate to a degree deemed acceptable.

If it had been others at Celestial Realm performing the feat, their Spiritual Qi would have been completely depleted before long.

That was the flames he was about to use for forging his new weapon. That was a flame that he chanced upon back in his past life, which was called the Freezing Clear Spirit Flame. It was something he acquired from some minor world, which worked exceptionally well for crafting all manner of items.

There was no doubt that he had yet to acquire that spark of flame in this lifetime, but he still knew enough about the Freezing Clear Spirit Flame to replicate some of its powers by using only his own Spiritual Qi.

The original version of the flame was actually something capable so fearsome, that even a tiny wisp would have been able to reduce the likes of Luo City to ashes.

That was a literal fact instead of a figurative exaggeration.

Lu Xuan’s replica of the true Freezing Clear Spirit Flame was actually less than 0.001 percent of the true version’s actual powers.

But then again, it was still far more than enough for crafting himself a new weapon.

The Bloodthirst, which was nigh-indestructible, began to ring the very instant it touched the flames. The blade was reduced to a puddle of liquefied metal before long.

He then added the Taiyi Metal into the mix with his other hand.

That piece of Taiyi Metal was far st.u.r.dier than Bloodthirst itself. It had taken quite some time for it to completely melt, even when continuously burned by those fearsome flames.

He then mixed the two puddles of liquefied metal together and began to craft it into shape while chanting the required mantra.

Several hours pa.s.sed, and the two different liquids finally merged into a single ent.i.ty.

He looked rather pale by then, as the Spiritual Qi in his body was near being completely depleted after sustaining the flames for hours.

Worse still, he had only been able to do so due to the frightening regeneration provided by his inborn Taoism apt.i.tude, which was far above that of usual cultivators. His reserves would have been completely depleted a long time ago.

Even if a fighter at Celestial Realm were to have his level of knowledge regarding such crafting of items, the process would have taken days at the very least, to get to the stage he got to at the moment.

He then popped out some pills for regenerating his reserves from his ring and gulped them down right away.

His reserves, which had been near total depletion, began regenerating right away. He then continued crafting his new weapon.

It did not take long for the mix to gradually form the shape of a sword, with the details getting increasingly clear.

He nodded satisfyingly. That rate of progress meant that it would have only taken a day at most for his desired weapon to completely come into being.

While the new sword was hardly worth mentioning when compared to power items he had at his disposal in his past life, that new sword was nonetheless more than enough for him at the moment.

A day pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. He never left the manor that whole day due to him working on the weapon without rest.

Yang Chengsi was also staying completely still in some dank corner outside of the manor, protecting his master, who was busy at work inside.

As a crime boss of a province, it had been quite a while since he did something like that. There were just too few people throughout the world who were of a high enough status for someone like him to serve someone else like that.

He was still a boss of sorts at Invincible Vajra after all, and only someone like Lu Xuan would be able to make him submit.

An incredibly sharp aura burst out from the manor when as he was performing his guard duty, staying completely still. He then sensed a powerful sword aura shrouding the entire manor at the very next moment.

However, the whole phenomenon did not last for more than a few brief moments. That terrifying sword aura quickly rescinded and disappeared without a trace.

So, is he done? Yang Chengsi wondered deep down.

In the manor, Lu Xuan was looking at the pitch-black sword, which had certain sections gilded in golden, rustic patterns. He held it in his hand.

The blade looked extremely cool. At the same time, it gave off an aura suggesting that it boasted a sharpness like no other.

Its presence was so intimidating that it seemed as if one could end up being injured by the immense sword aura just by looking at it.

“Finally done. I’ll call you ‘Dragonslayer’ from here on out,” Lu Xuan quipped.
