"Teacher, is it really you?"
Looking at the gray smoke suspended in the void, Yun Yun's face was filled with shock.
Could a person truly transform into a mass of smoke?
Gu He and Nalan Yanran also widened their eyes, expressions of disbelief etched upon their faces.
Flesh and blood turning into a cloud of smoke—what kind of technique was this?
"Hehe, I never imagined that becoming smoke would feel like this."
From within the smoke came the voice of Yun Shan, carrying a hint of a smile.
"Yun'er, draw your sword and strike at me."
Wanting to test the capabilities of the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, Yun Shan instructed Yun Yun.
Hearing this, Yun Yun nodded, then retrieved a long sword from her storage ring, drew it, and slowly thrust it toward the smoke in the void.
Her movements were light and sluggish, for she feared that a single careless moment might accidentally kill Yun Shan.
"Yun'er, have no fear; just strike with all your might."
Yun Shan's voice drifted from the smoke, clearly dissatisfied with Yun Yun's gentleness.
Hearing this, Yun Yun hesitated no longer and swung her sword at the smoke.
"Hehe, indeed, no harm done. This smoke-transformation ability truly does not fear the power of blades."
From within the smoke, Yun Shan's joyful voice rang out.
Subsequently, the smoke dispersed, coalescing into a human figure that gradually solidified until it took on the appearance of Yun Shan.
This bizarre ability left everyone present feeling utterly shocked.
"Shopkeeper Ye, please give me a jar."
A moment later, Yun Yun produced one hundred thousand gold coins and spoke to Ye Yun.
"Very well."
Ye Yun nodded slightly, waved his hand, and a jar appeared directly upon the counter.
Having the experience of opening three jars already, Yun Yun was naturally incredibly proficient as she slapped her palm down.
Crack!
The jar shattered upon impact.
As a burst of colorful light flickered, everyone turned their gaze toward the counter, only to discover that a black long sword had suddenly appeared there.
The sword was two feet and one inch long, forged from black iron and exceptionally thin, emitting a faint, cold light. The hilt was carved with a black dragon motif, appearing incredibly majestic, and the blade was sharp beyond compare, as cold as autumn frost.
"What a fine sword!"
Looking at the black sword on the counter, Yun Yun's eyes revealed a look of pleasant surprise, and she could not help but offer praise.
Ye Yun also felt that this sword was extraordinary and quickly scanned its information.
Peerless Sword: One of the ten great divine weapons from the [Wind and Cloud World]. It is peerlessly sharp and possesses the ability to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, as well as the Dou Qi cultivation of others to convert into its own power.
It was actually the Peerless Sword!
After reading the information on the black long sword, some other details regarding the Peerless Sword flashed through Ye Yun's mind.
Legend had it that this Peerless Sword was forged from one of the four strange stones left behind by Nuwa after she mended the heavens. This stone was called "Black Cold," a type of iron within stone, and was the coldest substance in the world.
As his gaze swept over the Peerless Sword, Ye Yun could clearly sense a sharp, piercing sword intent emanating from it.
It truly lives up to the name Peerless Sword; it even comes with its own sword intent!
He could not help but marvel in his heart.
At this moment, Yun Yun, who was holding the Peerless Sword, felt exactly the same way as Ye Yun.
"Shopkeeper Ye, what is the name of this sword, and which world does it come from?"
Yun Yun held the Peerless Sword, unable to put it down, and asked Ye Yun.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful goddess of the national anime before him, Ye Yun naturally would not refuse and answered directly: "This sword is named the Peerless Sword, and it originates from the [Wind and Cloud World]. This Peerless Sword actually has quite a connection to your Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin. If you cultivate diligently, you will surely achieve great things in the way of the sword in the future."
"Peerless Sword... what an imposing name..."
A strange look appeared in Yun Yun's eyes.
"Does it come from the same world as Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin?"
"It seems that this [Wind and Cloud World] must have quite a few swordsmen."
Feeling the sword intent radiating from the Peerless Sword, a sense of familiarity suddenly sprouted in Yun Yun's heart.
"Teacher, I would like to test the power of this Peerless Sword."
Holding the Peerless Sword, Yun Yun suddenly turned her gaze toward Yun Shan, who was standing to the side.
"I wonder if this Peerless Sword can harm Teacher's smoke body."
Hearing this, Yun Shan looked at the Peerless Sword in Yun Yun's hand, a hint of curiosity also appearing in his eyes.
The next moment, with a flicker of his thought, his body transformed directly into a cloud of smoke.
"Yun'er, draw your sword!"
Yun Yun nodded, gripping the Peerless Sword in her hand tightly, her entire body radiating a sharp, piercing sword intent.
In the next instant, a cold glint flashed through the void, and a fierce strike slashed directly toward the smoke hanging in the air.
"Ah!"
A cry of pain erupted from Yun Shan within the smoke.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
Hearing the scream, Yun Yun's expression turned to panic.
"It is nothing serious."
Yun Shan's response came from within the smoke, which then began to churn and swirl, reforming into his original appearance.
Although no blood was drawn, Yun Shan's face was pale; it was clear that the strike just now had indeed wounded him.
"This sword... is truly extraordinary..."
Yun Shan looked at the Peerless Sword in Yun Yun's hand, a look of wariness appearing in his cloudy eyes.
That this blade could injure his smoke-form body without even being fueled by Dou Qi was truly terrifying.
Seeing that Yun Shan was indeed unharmed, Yun Yun finally let out a sigh of relief, a look of joy appearing on her pretty face as she gazed at the Peerless Sword in her hand.
"Boss, give me a jar as well."
At this moment, Gu He approached Ye Yun, holding one hundred thousand gold coins.
"Very well!"
After Ye Yun accepted the coins, he waved his hand, and a jar flew from the wooden shelf, landing on the counter.
Gu He did not hesitate in the slightest, slamming his palm down onto the jar.
As a burst of colorful light shimmered, the item inside the jar was revealed upon the counter.
"What is this object?"
Gu He looked at the strange item on the counter, a trace of confusion in his eyes.
As for Ye Yun, upon seeing the item on the counter, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Even without the system scanning the information, he recognized it immediately.
Desert Eagle!
That's right, the item on the counter was none other than a Desert Eagle.
Furthermore, this Desert Eagle was coated entirely in gold, looking exceptionally flashy.
"Boss, look at this—what kind of treasure have I opened?"
Gu He picked up the Desert Eagle from the counter, looking at Ye Yun with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Hearing this, Ye Yun's expression turned somewhat strange.
The Desert Eagle was certainly flashy, and its power was among the greatest for a handgun.
In his past life, it would have been an absolute artifact for killing and destruction.
But placed in the fantasy world of the Dou Qi Continent, it appeared somewhat lackluster.
Ye Yun estimated that with the power of a Desert Eagle, it could at most gun down someone at the Dou Shi level.
As for a Dou Grandmaster who had condensed Dou Qi Armor, the power of the Desert Eagle would likely be unable to pierce it, unless one caught the opponent off guard before they could manifest their armor, in which case there might be a slim chance of a kill.
What was even more fatal was the lack of extra ammunition; this Desert Eagle was essentially a consumable item, and once the bullets were spent, it would be nothing more than a piece of scrap metal.
