"This, young brother, even a ninth-grade Treasure Blade has to be custom-made! As for this one, it's a special edition!"
"Special item?" Jiang Liu became even more interested upon hearing this.
That special grade item is capable of dealing with Exotic Beast of rank nine and above!
Weapons are divided into ordinary weapons, Entry Grade weapons, and special-grade weapons. To deal with a grandmaster-level expert, you simply cannot break through their defenses without a special-grade Treasure Blade! Of course, if your strength is insufficient, even if you have a special-grade Treasure Blade, you still won't be able to break through their defenses!
"May I take a look at this knife?"
Master Duan glanced at Jiang Liu, said nothing, and handed the Treasure Blade to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu took the Treasure Blade. He saw that the blade was entirely black, and he didn't know what metal it was made of. It was like a pool of Black Water hidden in the blade, inconspicuous yet deadly!
The blade gleamed with a cold light, likely due to the addition of a special metal. The back of the blade was slightly curved, allowing for better application of force to the front edge!
Jiang Liu fell in love with the knife at first sight!
"Shopkeeper, how much for this knife?" Jiang Liu asked, beaming with joy!
"Sir, you may have misunderstood. I'm not selling this knife! I'm taking it back to my Sects to have my master appraise it!"
"Uh!" Jiang Liu paused, then said helplessly, "Can we get this knife back?"
"That's hard to say, but if you want a ninth-grade Treasure Blade sword, I can think of a way."
"Oh? Master Duan has some here?"
"Yes, I do have one that someone else customized. But that customer breached the contract a long time ago! It's been sitting there untouched!"
"If you don't mind, you can have it!"
"No, no! I need it urgently right now. Just give it to me!"
Master Duan went into another room next door, took out a brocade box, and handed it to Jiang Liu.
"Take a look! We'll talk about it if you like it."
Jiang Liu took the brocade box, opened it, and saw a plain-looking large knife lying inside. He picked it up and tried it out; it felt alright!
"Master Duan, may I give it a try?"
"Okay, Liu An, take this young man to pool number nine to try!"
"Yes!" Liu An led Jiang Liu to the No. 9 sword-testing pool. He also explained to Jiang Liu that the pool number indicated the grade of sword being tested.
Jiang Liu arrived at Pool Number Nine, picked up his Treasure Blade sword, and slashed it into the pool. The testing stone in the pool was instantly cut in two without any hesitation! Jiang Liu nodded in satisfaction.
"This knife is nice, I'll take it! How much?"
"You'll have to talk to Master Duan about this. We usually discuss custom-made knives with Master Duan privately."
"All right!"
Jiang Liu, carrying a knife, found Master Duan, who was installing a handle on a special-grade knife.
"Master Duan, how much is this knife?"
"If you like it, it'll be thirteen thousand taels! A regular ninth-grade sword only costs ten thousand taels! This one is specially made with Starfall Iron, as requested by the previous customer! That's why it's more expensive!"
"Okay! I'll take it!" Jiang Liu took out a banknote and paid the bill.
Master Duan also provided him with a scabbard made of Ninth Rank Exotic Beast Hide.
Jiang Liu, with his Treasure Blade at his waist, planned to buy several more sets of clothes before heading into the Ten Thousand Mountains to cultivate!
Just as I was about to turn into the street selling ready-made clothes, a sudden gust of wind swept towards Jiang Liu!
Jiang Liu instinctively raised his Treasure Blade to block, then his consciousness dispersed, and he immediately saw a figure darting away from a corner into the shadows!
He quickly activated his Wind Walk, and in a few flashes, he still couldn't catch up with the figure!
Jiang Liu surveyed the surroundings and determined that they were unsuitable for flying, so he could only continue following the figure until they exited the city through the South City!
Not far from the South City, there was a grove of trees. The figure stopped as soon as they entered, turned to Jiang Liu, and said, "Kid, you've got guts! Daring to chase after me!"
Jiang Liu drew his sword and pointed it at the man, saying, "You're not leaving here until you give me an explanation."
"Give you an explanation? You'd better take a good look around before you speak!" "Haha!" The man finished speaking and laughed heartily.
Two more figures appeared behind Jiang Liu, one on his left and one on his right!
Jiang Liu sensed two people behind him, activated his Wind Walk to its maximum, and in one swift movement, slashed at the person in front of him with his sword!
The man was still laughing smugly, never expecting that Jiang Liu would not only react so quickly, but also be so unethical! He only had time to turn his head to the side before he was stabbed in the shoulder!
Jiang Liu then slammed the Ice Blade that had been gathering in his left hand (he had wanted to use it to Ice Blade him for a while, but hadn't had the chance) into his dantian!
Immediately, the man in front began to tremble, and soon after, a rumbling sound came from his stomach!
The man immediately collapsed to the ground, swallowing blood!
When the two people behind him arrived, they saw him staring wide-eyed, his eyes wide open, staring intently in the direction of the Jiang Liu!
The two examiners couldn't determine the cause of his death, and then exchanged a glance.
The two nodded slightly at the same time, and suddenly drew their weapons from the left and right and attacked Jiang Liu!
Jiang Liu leaped forward, wielding his sword with both hands, and forcefully slashed at the man on his left. The man on the left could not withstand the attack, and his weapon flew from his hand!
The man on the right seized the opportunity to attack Jiang Liu's armpit!
Jiang Liu had no choice but to give up chasing the man on the left!
That won't do! If I keep attacking this person and saving that person, won't I just be worn down and die?
