"Teacher, is that really you?"
Yun Yun stared at the gray smoke floating in midair, her face filled with shock.
Could a person really turn into a cloud of smoke?
Gu He and Nalan Yanran also widened their eyes in disbelief.
Turning flesh and blood into a cloud of smoke—what kind of technique was this?
"Hehe, I never expected turning into smoke would feel like this."
Yun Shan's amused voice came from within the smoke.
"Yun Yun, draw your sword and stab at me."
Wanting to test the Smoke-Smoke Fruit's abilities, Yun Shan gave Yun Yun an instruction.
Yun Yun nodded at that. She then took a longsword from her Storage Ring, drew it, and slowly thrust it toward the smoke in the air.
Her movements were light and slow, as though she feared accidentally stabbing Yun Shan to death.
"Yun Yun, there is no need to worry. Just attack."
Yun Shan's voice came from the smoke, clearly somewhat dissatisfied by Yun Yun's gentleness.
Hearing this, Yun Yun no longer hesitated and swung her sword at the smoke.
"Hehe, indeed, nothing happened. This ability to turn into smoke truly fears neither blades nor swords."
Yun Shan's delighted voice rang out from within the smoke.
Then, the smoke dispersed and transformed into a human figure, gradually solidifying into Yun Shan's appearance.
This bizarre ability left everyone deeply shocked.
"Boss Ye, please get me a Jar."
A moment later, Yun Yun took out a hundred thousand Gold Coin and spoke to Ye Yun.
"Alright."
Ye Yun nodded slightly and waved his hand. A Jar immediately appeared atop the counter.
Having already opened three Jars, Yun Yun was naturally extremely practiced. She struck the Jar with her palm.
Smack!
The Jar shattered in response.
As radiant light flickered, everyone looked toward the counter and saw that a black longsword had suddenly appeared there.
The sword was two chi and one cun long. Its blade was forged from dark iron, thin as a sheet, and gave off a faint cold gleam. Its hilt bore the carving of a black dragon, making it look incomparably imposing, while its edge was razor-sharp, like autumn frost.
"Good sword!"
Looking at the black sword on the counter, Yun Yun's eyes lit up with delight, and she could not help praising it.
Ye Yun also felt that the sword was extraordinary, so he quickly scanned its information.
Peerless Sword: One of the ten Divine Weapons from the Wind and Cloud World. Unmatched in sharpness, it can draw in the energy of heaven and earth. It can also absorb the cultivation of others' Dou Qi for its own use.
It was actually the Peerless Sword!
After reading the black longsword's information, some additional information about the Peerless Sword flashed through Ye Yun's mind.
Legend had it that the Peerless Sword was forged from one of the four strange stones left behind after Nuwa repaired the heavens. This strange stone was called "Black Cold," iron among stones and the coldest substance in the world.
As his gaze swept over the Peerless Sword, Ye Yun could clearly sense a sharp sword intent emanating from it.
Worthy of being the Peerless Sword—it actually possessed sword intent of its own!
He could not help but marvel inwardly.
At this moment, Yun Yun, who held the Peerless Sword, felt the same way as Ye Yun.
"Boss Ye, what is this sword called, and what world does it come from?"
Yun Yun held the Peerless Sword so fondly that she could not bear to put it down as she asked Ye Yun.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful goddess before him, Ye Yun naturally did not refuse and answered directly, "This sword is called the Peerless Sword and comes from the Wind and Cloud World. The Peerless Sword has quite a few connections to your Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin. Cultivate diligently, and you will surely achieve something on the path of the sword in the future."
"Peerless Sword, what a domineering name..."
A strange glint appeared in Yun Yun's eyes.
"It comes from the same world as Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin?"
"It seems the Wind and Cloud World must have quite a few swordsmen."
Feeling the sword intent radiating from the Peerless Sword, Yun Yun suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
"Teacher, I want to test the power of this Peerless Sword."
Holding the Peerless Sword, Yun Yun suddenly turned her gaze toward Yun Shan beside her.
"I wonder whether this Peerless Sword can harm Teacher's smoke body."
Hearing that, Yun Shan looked at the Peerless Sword in Yun Yun's hand, curiosity appearing in his eyes as well.
The next moment, with a thought, his body directly turned into a cloud of smoke.
"Yun Yun, strike!"
Yun Yun nodded and gripped the Peerless Sword tightly, her entire body radiating a sharp sword intent.
The next moment, a cold glint flashed through the air as a fierce sword strike slashed directly down at the smoke.
"Ah!"
Yun Shan's cry of pain came from within the smoke.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
Hearing his cry, Yun Yun immediately panicked.
"It is nothing serious."
Yun Shan's reply came from the smoke. Then the smoke churned and transformed back into Yun Shan's form.
Although there was no blood, Yun Shan's face had turned somewhat pale. Clearly, that sword strike had injured him.
"This sword... is extraordinary..."
Yun Shan looked at the Peerless Sword in Yun Yun's hand, wariness appearing in his clouded eyes.
Without even being infused with Dou Qi, this sword could actually injure his smoke body. It was truly terrifying.
Only after seeing that Yun Shan was indeed unharmed did Yun Yun finally relax. Looking at the Peerless Sword in her hand, joy appeared on her pretty face.
"Boss, get me a Jar as well."
At this moment, Gu He took out a hundred thousand Gold Coin and spoke to Ye Yun.
"Alright!"
After accepting the Gold Coin, Ye Yun waved his hand, and a Jar flew from the wooden rack and landed on the counter.
Without any hesitation, Gu He struck the Jar with his palm.
As radiant light flickered, the item inside the Jar immediately appeared on the counter.
"What is this?"
Gu He looked at the unfamiliar object on the counter, confusion appearing in his eyes.
However, when Ye Yun saw the item on the counter, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
Even without scanning it with the system, he recognized this thing.
Desert Eagle!
That was right. The item on the counter was a Desert Eagle.
Moreover, this Desert Eagle was entirely coated in gold and looked incredibly cool.
"Boss, what kind of treasure did I open?"
Gu He picked up the Desert Eagle from the counter and looked at Ye Yun expectantly.
Hearing this, Ye Yun's expression became somewhat strange.
The Desert Eagle certainly looked cool, and its power was also immense among handguns.
In his previous life, it would absolutely have been a weapon for killing and arson.
But in this fantasy world of the Dou Qi Continent, it seemed rather useless.
Ye Yun estimated that the Desert Eagle's power could at most kill someone at the Dou Master level.
As for a Da Dou Shi who had condensed Dou Qi armor, the Desert Eagle likely could not penetrate it. Unless the target had not reacted in time and had yet to form their Dou Qi armor, there might still be some chance of shooting them dead.
What was worse, there were no extra bullets to replenish it with. The Desert Eagle was completely a consumable item; once its bullets were spent, it would be no different from a piece of scrap iron.
