"Phew! It's almost done!"
Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the newly formed divine sword that was almost complete, feeling very gratified.
He worked tirelessly for almost a month, without sleep, to forge this divine sword.
There was no way around it; the materials used in this divine sword were all extraordinary. One was the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven Sword, both made of pure Profound Iron, and the other was stubborn iron, which was not much inferior to Profound Iron. Both were extremely difficult materials to forge.
More importantly, the amount of material used in this forging is a hundred times more than that used to forge the spearhead for Zhou Xueyi.
The spearhead back then weighed only 100 jin (50 kg), while the current Profound Iron and meteorite iron, even after quenching and removing impurities, weigh tens of thousands of jin (5,000 kg), making them much more difficult to forge.
This is because he mastered the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art Upper Chapter and deduced the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Instruction, which greatly enhanced his physical strength; otherwise, it would have been truly difficult to forge it successfully.
Fortunately, after a month of hard work, it is finally taking shape today.
The Shameless Greatsword was now basically complete, with only some patterns left to be added to its surface for decoration and to enhance its prestige.
This step is very important!
After all, both Profound Iron and stubborn iron are pitch black, with at most a faint red glow, and their appearance is really not good.
If I don't decorate it a bit, I'll be embarrassed to show it off later.
Once Profound Iron is fused with iron and cooled, it becomes virtually impossible to forge or modify it again; its hardness and melting point will increase to an unimaginable level.
In modern terms, its molecular structure tends to be stable, requiring more heat and energy to heat it up and undergo secondary forging.
Therefore, this final decorative step must be completed in one go along with the overall construction; otherwise, there won't be another chance.
The current Shameless Greatsword is much larger than the original one, increasing from five feet five inches to nine feet nine inches. The blade is eight feet eight inches long, three feet wide, and one foot thick. The hilt is one foot one inch long, about the thickness of a goose egg, and hollow inside to conceal the Ziwei Soft Sword.
This is a true mother-and-child sword. Once Wang Hao has fully mastered the Ziwei Soft Sword, he can use it in combination, making his combat power even stronger.
After putting the partially forged Shameless Greatsword back into the blast furnace, Wang Hao sat down, picked up the prepared medicinal food beside him, and drank it heartily.
According to the rules, this kind of medicinal cuisine should never be brought into the Blood Sword Hall, let alone brought back to the Blood Wind Hall to drink. However, rules are rigid, but people are flexible. After Wang Hao beat up several stewards of the Blood Sword Hall, they kindly brought over the prepared medicinal cuisine.
Since this person was genuinely drinking it themselves and not using the medicinal food on others, it didn't count as breaking the rules, so they accepted it.

While gulping down the medicinal food, Wang Hao glanced at his attribute panel and was quite satisfied with the changes he saw.
After a month of continuous, high-intensity training, his first level of the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Instruction had reached its pinnacle, and he was just one step away from entering the Peak Perfection Transformation Realm.
As the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Instruction improved, his physical strength also increased rapidly, and his Bloodline Power increased by a full 80%.
This number may not seem impressive, but it's important to remember that Wang Hao's Bloodline Power had previously reached fifty points. Eighty percent of fifty points is forty points, so his current Bloodline Power has increased to a terrifying ninety points.
With only ten points left to achieve the final breakthrough, my combat power will be even more terrifying.
Just as Wang Hao was happily imagining the immense power he would possess after his breakthrough, a servant rushed in in a panic. Upon seeing Wang Hao sitting in the forging room, he anxiously shouted, " Master Hao, my young master is being surrounded and attacked by a group of people at the Ten Thousand Flowers House! They are all Super-First-Rate experts! Please go and save my young master!"
"Don't rush, explain things clearly. How could Brother Chui be surrounded and attacked?"
Wang Hao suddenly stood up and comforted the anxious servant. He recognized the boy; he was one of Zhao Dachui's followers, raised and trained by Zhao Fengxue since childhood, and was considered a trustworthy person.
He also knew about that Ten Thousand Flowers House, a place where Zhao Dachui often went to drink and have fun. Although it wasn't a famous brothel, it was cheap in terms of drinks, and the girls inside were quite pretty.
So Zhao Dachui, who wasn't exactly well-off, often went there to have fun, but he didn't know why he was being attacked there today.
This is very unusual!
"Today, a young master's lover at the Ten Thousand Flowers House was crippled by a young master. The young master was furious and castrated the young master. But who knew that guy had four bodyguards with Super-First-Rate cultivation levels, and then a fight broke out."
Although my young master is powerful, he can't fight against so many opponents. When I ran back to report the news, he had already been stabbed and was covered in blood. Master Hao, please hurry and save my young master!
By the end, the servant was so anxious he cried; he was clearly very worried.
"Did Brother Chui send you to ask me for help, or did you come on your own? Did you encounter any obstacles on your way back?"
Wang Hao's expression grew even more serious, his eyes fixed on the servant in front of him.
This matter is far from simple; there may be a deeper conspiracy at play, so it must be handled with extreme caution.
"I saw the young master injured and he ran back by himself without encountering any obstacles!"
Although he didn't understand why Wang Hao asked that question, the servant still quickly answered.
The Ten Thousand Flowers House is not far from the headquarters of the Blood Robe Tower, and since the head of the hall is not here, they can only ask this young master's close friend for help.
"Hmph! It seems this matter is indeed not simple!"
With a cold snort, Wang Hao was at least 50% certain that this matter was part of a different scheme, and was very likely aimed at him.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
Tie Niu picked up the battle axe lying in the corner and awaited Wang Hao's command.
"You can't get involved in this level of combat. Later, you organize some men to meet up with Brother Chui halfway there. Leave the matter of the Ten Thousand Flowers House to me."
After instructing Tie Niu, Wang Hao tossed the Shameless Greatsword, which was being reheated in the blast furnace, into a nearby pool of water to cool it down. Then, he gulped down the last large bucket of medicinal food before picking up the nearly cooled Shameless Greatsword and rushing out.
Fearing something might happen to Zhao Dachui, Wang Hao didn't dare to delay along the way, continuously unleashing his Lightning Straight-Line Step, and arrived at the street corner where Ten Thousand Flowers House was located in less than half a cup of tea's time.
Just as he was about to rush over, a stone suddenly shot out from a dark corner and hit his palm.
Glancing at the now empty, dark corner, Wang Hao rubbed the stone in his hand. Sensing the words carved on it, a sinister look appeared on his face.
"They really came for me, Master Hao!"
"Court officials are forcing the emperor to abdicate; Confucian School are lying in ambush. Leave the capital immediately!"
These are three lines of writing carved on the stone, clearly indicating that someone was giving him a warning. Wang Hao could roughly guess the identity of the person: either someone from the Eastern Depot or someone from the Three Sovereigns Zhu Yijun.
Regardless of which one it was, he remembered this favor.
Although it was just twelve simple characters, it clearly revealed the current situation: the Confucian School was about to take action against him, and even used court officials to force the emperor to abdicate.
In other words, he had now become a pawn, and could no longer receive protection from the Eastern Depot or even the Da Ming imperial family.
The Confucian School methods are truly ingenious!
With a cold laugh, Wang Hao crushed the stone in his Palm One into powder, then shouldered the Shameless Greatsword and strode towards the Ten Thousand Flowers House.
Just Master Hao my Shameless Greatsword has been successfully forged, I'll use your shattered blood as a sacrifice for it!
There was no other way. Zhao Dachui was a good friend of his and had helped him a lot. Now, because of his own actions, Zhao Dachui had caused Zhao Dachui to suffer an undeserved disaster and even be in danger. If he didn't go over, Zhao Dachui might really be going to die.
" Xiao Mengmeng, look around! How many experts are there?"
As Wang Hao approached the entrance of the Ten Thousand Flowers House, he silently asked Xiao Mengmeng a question.
Although he did sense several Grandmaster -level experts around him with the powerful perception granted by his True Spirit Sword Intent, there were still many hidden figures, clearly indicating that they also knew how to conceal their aura.
However well you try to conceal it, you can't escape Xiao Mengmeng's scanning.
"Uncle, there are quite a few people who want to kill you! There are thirty-three of them, and all of them are at the Grandmaster level. There's even a Half-Step Great Grandmaster level expert watching you from that tower a thousand feet away. You'd better be careful; they don't want to find a new host."
Xiao Mengmeng was very efficient; she responded as soon as Wang Hao finished speaking.
"Thirty-three Grandmaster -level experts, that's quite a lineup!"
With a sinister smile, Wang Hao strode into the Ten Thousand Flowers House, carrying the Shameless Greatsword.
Upon entering the Ten Thousand Flowers House, one sees Zhao Dachui covered in blood, locked in combat with four experts. Given Zhao Dachui's strength, capable of fighting opponents of higher levels, he shouldn't be in such a sorry state, especially since, according to the servant, the four were only at the peak of the Peak Super-First-Rate.
But when Wang Hao saw it with his own eyes, he realized that those were not Super-First-Rate cultivators at all, but all Grandmaster- level experts.
Although they were only at the Early-Stage Grandmaster, Zhao Dachui's strength was indeed insufficient to withstand four of them attacking together.
" Brother Chui, you look pretty pathetic!"
Wang Hao, who had just entered, didn't rush to make a move. He pulled over a stool and sat down with an air of authority, while the Shameless Greatsword he had been carrying on his shoulder was heavily stuck into the ground.
He casually picked up the wine jug on the table and took a swig before smiling at the utterly disheveled Zhao Dachui.
Upon seeing Wang Hao arrive, the four Grandmaster- level experts who were besieging him quickly withdrew from the battle and began to watch Wang Hao warily.
After all, Wang Hao's record was simply too amazing. If they were to be targeted by him with their limited strength, they would be in serious trouble.
"I'm sorry, Haozi, for dragging you into this."
Once he could catch his breath, Zhao Dachui quickly used his movement technique to get to Wang Hao's side, picked up a flask of wine and took a big gulp before looking at Wang Hao apologetically.
"I'm the one who should be apologizing; these people are all here because of me."
Wang Hao casually tossed a jade bottle over, his face also showing apology.
What should we do now?
He took the jade bottle and poured the powder inside onto the wounds. After a hissing sound, a burnt smell emanated from the wounds. Zhao Dachui didn't even frown at this, but instead asked Wang Hao for his opinion.
This powder is a special medicine provided by the Blood Robe Tower. When it comes into contact with blood, it generates high temperature to cook the wound, stopping the bleeding instantly. It is highly praised among the many assassins of the Blood Robe Tower.
He realized that he had been used as bait to lure out Wang Hao, the big fish.
Suddenly, more than a dozen masked figures in black appeared Ten Thousand Flowers House, and more than a dozen figures appeared outside, completely surrounding the brothel.
