Chapter 741 Blood-Red Sword?
Various precious treasures sparkled under the lights, making people dazzled.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang shuttled through the crowd, stopping from time to time to carefully examine the treasures.
Suddenly, Luo Chen's eyes were attracted by a long sword that looked ordinary, but the color was blood red and a little weird.
The long sword lay quietly on an ancient wooden table. The sword body was narrow and sharp, and there were complicated patterns engraved on the sword spine, as if it was some kind of ancient totem.
The most eye-catching thing was the blood-red light flowing on the sword body. It flowed slowly on the sword body like a living thing, exuding an indescribable weird breath.
Luo Chen involuntarily approached and stretched out his hand to touch the sword body gently.
As soon as he touched it, he felt a cold and hot breath coming from the sword body, as if countless small hands were pulling his soul.
He suddenly retracted his hand, his face changed slightly, and an inexplicable throbbing surged in his heart.
"This sword... is a little strange." Luo Chen whispered, staring at the long sword, unwilling to move away.
Seeing this, Qingshuang also walked to his side and looked at the long sword carefully.
Her brows frowned slightly, as if she was also feeling the unusual breath emanating from the long sword.
"It is indeed strange." Qingshuang nodded, with a hint of solemnity in her voice, "The blood on this sword is too heavy, as if it is stained with the blood of countless creatures.
If it is not for a strong will and cultivation, it may be difficult to control it."
Hearing this, Luo Chen became more curious.
He knew that his cultivation was extraordinary. Although he was afraid of the blood in this long sword, he wanted to conquer it more.
"Maybe, I can try." Luo Chen said softly, with a firm light in his eyes.
Seeing this, Qingshuang knew that Luo Chen had made a decision.
Although she was a little worried, she trusted and supported Luo Chen more.
"Okay, but you have to be careful." Qingshuang reminded, and she already had several exquisite hidden weapons in her hands, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.
Luo Chen nodded and reached out to hold the hilt of the long sword again.
This time, he no longer hesitated, but used all his cultivation to inject spiritual power into the long sword.
Suddenly, the blood on the long sword seemed to be activated and surged wildly.
They rotated and entangled around the sword body, forming blood-colored vortexes.
Luo Chen only felt a powerful force coming from the long sword, impacting his meridians and dantian.
He gritted his teeth, endured the impact of the force, and continued to use spiritual power to fight against it.
As time went on, he gradually felt that he had established a subtle connection with the long sword.
The blood seemed to become docile under his guidance, and was no longer so violent.
Finally, when the last trace of blood was completely absorbed by Luo Chen, he suddenly opened his eyes, with a dazzling light flashing in his eyes.
The long sword in his hand also returned to calm, the blood-red light had disappeared, replaced by a warm breath like jade.
"I succeeded!" Luo Chen shouted excitedly, his face filled with the joy of victory.
Qing Shuang was relieved when she saw this.
She walked to Luo Chen, smiled and patted his shoulder to congratulate him.
"It seems that this long sword has recognized you." Qing Shuang said, her eyes also flashed with approval, "However, this sword is too special, you need to be careful when using it in the future."
Luo Chen nodded, he knew that Qing Shuang's worries were not redundant.
This long sword is indeed too powerful and special, and the slightest carelessness may lead to unpredictable consequences.
However, he also has his own plans.
He plans to use the power of this long sword to improve his cultivation and combat effectiveness, so as to better cope with future challenges.
......
Just when Luo Chen wanted to buy this long sword.
Outside the Treasure Pavilion, a group of strange practitioners suddenly came.
As soon as those people came, they rushed directly towards Luo Chen.
Specifically, it seems that their target was not Luo Chen, but the blood-red long sword in Luo Chen's hand.
Those practitioners were swift and elegant, and they were obviously powerful people with great cultivation.
They looked hurried, with greed and urgency in their eyes, as if the long sword was the treasure they had dreamed of.
Luo Chen frowned slightly. He could feel the powerful aura emanating from those practitioners, and knew that they were not good.
But he did not retreat, but held the long sword tightly in his hand and watched the other party vigilantly.
Qingshuang quickly stood beside Luo Chen, her eyes were equally sharp, and the hidden weapons in her hands were ready to go, ready to deal with possible crises at any time.
Those practitioners rushed to Luo Chen, stopped, and stared greedily at the long sword in his hand.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a cold face and sharp eyes like a hawk. He was obviously the leader of this group of people.
"Hand over the long sword, or you will not be able to leave here alive today!" The middle-aged man said coldly, his voice full of threats and unquestionable meaning.
Hearing this, Luo Chen sneered.
He was not a weak person, so how could he easily hand over the long sword in his hand?
"Humph, if you want my long sword, it depends on whether you have the ability!" Luo Chen said, his tone was full of provocation and disdain.
The middle-aged man saw this and his face darkened.
He didn't expect that Luo Chen would dare to be so arrogant, he simply didn't know the heights of heaven and earth!
"Seeking death!" the middle-aged man shouted angrily, his body suddenly rose up, and he rushed towards Luo Chen like a tiger descending from the mountain.
He was extremely fast and arrived in front of Luo Chen in the blink of an eye, punching out with a deafening sound of breaking through the air.
Luo Chen's eyes narrowed, and he moved slightly, easily dodging the middle-aged man's attack.
At the same time, he waved the long sword in his hand, and a bright sword energy shot out like a sword, heading straight towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Luo Chen to be so powerful.
He quickly retracted his fist to defend himself, and at the same time retreated violently, barely dodging the sword energy.
However, Luochen did not give him a chance to breathe. He followed closely like a shadow. As the long sword danced, sword energy poured down like a torrential rain, forcing the middle-aged man to retreat continuously.
The practitioners who were traveling with the middle-aged man saw this and came to help.
They each used their magical powers to attack Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
Qingshuang snorted coldly and moved through the crowd lightly.
The hidden weapons in her hand shot out like raindrops, each one hitting the target accurately, leaving the practitioners in a hurry and finding it difficult to resist.
Luo Chen concentrated on dealing with the middle-aged man. He knew that this man was the strongest. If he could not fight quickly, he would probably cause more trouble.
As he swung his long sword, his sword energy was flowing freely, and he started a fierce confrontation with the middle-aged man.
The two of them went back and forth, sword lights and fist shadows intertwined, bursts of roaring sounds erupted.
As time went by, the middle-aged man gradually showed signs of fatigue.
After all, he was just one person. Facing the joint attack of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, he was still at a disadvantage.
Finally, during a fierce confrontation, Luo Chen caught a flaw in the middle-aged man's body and swung his sword, directly piercing his chest.
A glimmer of disbelief flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he fell to the ground helplessly.
When the practitioners who were traveling with the middle-aged man saw this, they all exclaimed. They did not expect that the middle-aged man would be defeated so quickly.
Luo Chen glanced at the practitioners coldly, his eyes full of warning and threats.
"Who still wants to give it a try?" He said coldly, without any emotion in his tone.
The practitioners looked at each other and finally chose to retreat.
They knew that together they were no match for Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, and if they continued to quarrel, they would only be asking for trouble.
As a result, they abandoned the corpses of their companions and fled the Treasure Pavilion in despair.
Luo Chen looked at the fleeing figures of the cultivators with a sneer on his lips.
He knew that this time things would not end there.
But he is also fearless because he believes in his own strength and the tacit understanding and cooperation with Qingshuang.
He turned around and looked at Qingshuang. Their eyes met in the air, and they understood without saying anything.
They continued to wander around the Treasure Pavilion, selecting their favorite treasures.
As time goes by, Luochen and Qingshuang go deeper and deeper into the Treasure Pavilion. There are a dazzling array of treasures in the Treasure Pavilion, and each one exudes an alluring light.
Sometimes they stopped to watch, sometimes they discussed in low voices, enjoying the rare treasure hunting fun.
Suddenly, Luo Chen's eyes were attracted by a seemingly ordinary jade pendant.
The jade pendant was light green in color and as warm as jade, with complex and mysterious patterns carved on its surface, as if it contained some ancient power.
He gently picked up the jade pendant, and a cool air instantly poured into his body, refreshing his spirit.
"Qingshuang, what do you think of this jade pendant?" Luo Chen handed the jade pendant to Qingshuang, with curiosity shining in his eyes.
Qingshuang took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and frowned slightly.
"This jade pendant looks ordinary, but I can feel that the spiritual power fluctuations contained in it are not simple. Maybe it has secrets that we have not discovered yet."
When Luo Chen heard this, he became even more curious.
He decided to buy this jade pendant, maybe it could help him in his spiritual practice.
Just as they were about to leave the Treasure Pavilion, a rush of footsteps came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, a group of practitioners in gorgeous costumes poured into the Treasure Pavilion, with anxious and nervous expressions on their faces.
"Quick! Seal the Treasure Pavilion and don't let anyone leave!" An old man at the head shouted loudly, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other with awe in their hearts.
They knew that this sudden change was no accident and was probably related to the practitioners they had met before.
"It seems that we have been involved in some trouble." Qingshuang whispered, her eyes becoming solemn.
Luo Chen nodded, and he gripped the sword tightly, preparing to deal with possible crises.
He knew very well that in this situation, only by remaining calm and vigilant could he find a chance to escape.
Those practitioners quickly blocked the entrance and exit of the Treasure Pavilion and began to search everyone present.
Their movements were rough and fast, obviously looking for something important.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were surrounded by a group of practitioners. Their eyes glanced back and forth at the two of them, as if they wanted to see through them.
Luo Chen was secretly on guard. He knew that he could not reveal his strength easily, otherwise it would probably cause even greater trouble.
At this moment, a practitioner suddenly pointed at the long sword in Luo Chen's hand and exclaimed: "Look! That long sword! It has a similar aura to the treasure we lost!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on the long sword in Luo Chen's hand.
The long sword trembled slightly under the gaze of everyone, as if it felt some kind of threat.
Luo Chen's heart tightened. He didn't expect that this long sword would cause such a big trouble.
But he also understood that at this moment, he must not hand over the long sword.
This long sword is not only a symbol of his strength, but also an important partner on his road of cultivation.
"Humph! What makes you say that this long sword is yours? I spent a lot of spirit stones to buy it!" Luo Chen snorted coldly, with a firm and unyielding tone.
The faces of those practitioners suddenly became gloomy when they heard this.
They didn't expect Luo Chen to be so arrogant and simply didn't take them seriously.
"Boy! Don't try to quibble! This long sword is clearly a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family. How can you easily get your hands on it!" The leading old man shouted angrily, and his body suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Luo Chen.
Seeing this, Luo Chen flashed and easily avoided the old man's attack.
He waved the long sword in his hand, and a dazzling sword energy shot out like a streak, heading straight for the old man.
The old man's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Luo Chen's strength to be so strong.
He quickly retracted his fist to defend himself, and at the same time, his body retreated violently, barely avoiding the sword energy.
However, Luo Chen did not give him a chance to breathe.
He chased after him like a shadow, and as the long sword danced, sword energy poured down like a rainstorm, forcing the old man to retreat again and again.
Seeing this, the practitioners who were traveling with the old man came to help.
They each used their magical powers to attack Luo Chen and Qing Shuang fiercely.
But Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had already made preparations. They were agile and cooperated well, and completely resolved the attacks of those practitioners.
As time went on, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually gained the upper hand.
They defeated those practitioners with their outstanding strength and tacit cooperation.
In the end, the old man was also knocked away by Luo Chen's sword and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, those practitioners surrendered one after another, knowing that they were powerless to turn the tide.
They looked at the long sword in Luo Chen's hand, their eyes full of unwillingness and helplessness.
Luo Chen looked at the backs of those practitioners surrendering, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He knew that although this incident was extremely thrilling, he finally resolved the crisis with his own strength and wisdom.
He turned around and looked at Qing Shuang. Their eyes met in the air, and they understood each other without saying much.
