Chapter 317: Chapter 131: Transform Qi into Gang! Blade Gang!_3
Wei Chiao was also quite excited. As a martial artist, having a handy weapon could significantly increase his battle power. To forge the weapon he desired, he had expended much effort and paid a heavy price.
Now, with the assistance of Master Su from the Dafeng Iron Cavalry’s Casting Department, it seemed that he was finally about to succeed!
In the forging room, Wei Chiao and others held their breath, afraid to disturb Su Changkong.
“Clang, clang, clang!”
With his upper body bare, Su Changkong wielded the hammer, allowing the sparks that sprayed to sting his skin slightly.
“Roar!”
In the wee hours, accompanied by the roar of a demon monster, a gust of demonic wind swept from the forming Monster Wailing Blade. The gust swayed the furnace fire, nearly snuffing it out.
“Hum, hum, hum!”
At that moment, the blade-shaped Qi Power inside Su Changkong’s body underwent a metamorphosis, drawing from his True Qi and Qi-Blood. The blade-shaped Blade Qi became unadorned, yet extremely concentrated. Its outer shape was simply that of an ordinary long blade, but it appeared as exquisite and condensed as crystal, with a single strand capable of effortlessly cleaving through metal and iron!
How many times stronger was it than before?
Su Changkong circulated his Turtle Breathing True Qi, striving to suppress the trembling Blade Qi until it gradually calmed down without bursting forth and causing a huge commotion!
It could no longer be called Blade Qi, but should be referred to as… Blade Gang!
A wisp of Blade Gang was worth several, tenfold wisps of Blade Qi. Upon collision, the Blade Qi would be as soft as cotton and easily extinguished.
Forging (Eight Realms Transcendental 1%)
After nearly half a year of wholehearted forging and leveraging his nearly transcendental forging skill, Su Changkong continuously tempered his own Blade Qi. Once he forged the Monster Wailing Blade with a Demon Monster Crystal Core, his forging skill finally stepped into the Eight Realms Transcendental.
Correspondingly, his Blade Qi also completed its metamorphosis, refined through hundreds of hammers, becoming more concentrated, and transformed into Blade Gang!
Punching power extends four inches, Blade power radiates three feet!
This is the realm countless practitioners of Blade Technique dream of reaching.
Yet, even just manifesting Blade Qi is a level many find unattainable, let alone condensing it and transforming it into Blade Gang!
“Hum!”
Suddenly, Su Changkong’s pupils slightly contracted because right in front of him, on the anvil where the Monster Wailing Blade had just been shaped, the dense black patterns began to wriggle. The Monster Wailing Blade unexpectedly leaped up, its edge chopping towards Su Changkong’s neck.
The Monster Wailing Blade had incorporated a Demon Monster Crystal Core. It was entirely different from ordinary weapons, demanding blood and an edge as soon as it was formed.
And the first to bear the brunt was Su Changkong, the man who forged the blade!
Naturally, Su Changkong could dodge it, but once he demonstrated his exceptional Qinggong and movement techniques, it would inevitably expose the fact that he knew Martial Arts, and not just a trivial amount!
“You think you can hurt someone in front of me!”
But at that moment, a strong gust of wind approached; it was Wei Chiao.
He extended one large hand and grabbed the hilt of the Monster Wailing Blade, utterly disregarding its searing heat, unwilling to let it advance even a fraction of an inch!
This made Su Changkong breathe a sigh of relief; had Wei Chiao not stopped the Monster Wailing Blade, revealing his own martial prowess, it would surely have led to a battle to the death!
“Hiss hiss hiss!”
The Monster Wailing Blade, gripped tightly in Wei Chiao’s large hand, actually emitted a hissing sound. Dark patterns writhed on its surface, like blood-sucking syringes, twining towards Wei Chiao’s arm, attempting to pierce into his flesh and drink the blood greedily.
Wei Chiao’s face darkened as he shouted, “My blood is not for you to drink!”
“Boom!”
With a forceful grip of the hand holding the blade, Wei Chiao’s Blade Qi power exploded, dispersing in all directions and whipping up a wild wind. The spreading patterns on the Monster Wailing Blade were shockingly forced to shrink back.
“Is this… a weapon forged from a demon monster’s crystal core? To call it a divine weapon would be misleading; it’s more like a monster soldier!”
Su Changkong also felt shocked witnessing this scene.
The uses of a demon monster’s crystal core were numerous, almost omnipotent! Whether it’s extending one’s life, enhancing cultivation, or weapon forging, the crystal core could produce extraordinary effects!
This Monster Wailing Blade was vastly different from ordinary mundane weapons; it seemed conscious, truly qualifying as a Monster Blade.
“Excellent! Very excellent! With this Monster Wailing Blade in hand, I have the confidence to battle even the Four Great Generals of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry!”
Wei Chiao burst into triumphant laughter, extremely satisfied.
Gaining strength through external aid is a major path to improvement. A good weapon can tremendously elevate a martial artist, not to mention a monster soldier like this one!
Holding the monster soldier, Wei Chiao’s combat prowess visibly leapt forward!
Wei Chiao calmed his excitement and looked at Su Changkong with approval, saying, “Master Su, you truly are a forging genius. To create this Monster Wailing Blade, you are a pearl cast into the shadows within the Casting Department. Why not follow me from now on? Wealth and honor will be yours without end! Any requests you have, I will fulfill to the best of my abilities!”
Having the ability to forge a monster soldier, Su Changkong’s rare forging skills were invaluable, and Wei Chiao was no fool. Far from having any intention to ‘kill the donkey once the grinding is done,’ he wanted to win him over by any means necessary.
Su Changkong also began to feel a bit more at ease. Wei Chiao had most likely reached the Qi-Blood Furnace Realm, with unfathomably strong combat power. Although Su Changkong had condensed Blade Gang, he had not yet tested the true power of the Blade Gang, and it was unclear what the outcome would be if he faced Wei Chiao.
Not to mention, this was enemy territory. If a fight broke out, it would be far too disadvantageous!
With Wei Chiao willing to treat him as an honored guest, it was best to be superficially cooperative for now, and then look for an opportunity to act later.
At that moment, Su Changkong expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you for your high regard, Commander Wei!”
Wei Chiao then looked at the Monster Wailing Blade, which glowed with a faint, ominous light, and chuckled, “My dear treasure, since you’re hungry, let’s go and have a feast!”
With that, Wei Chiao left in a hurry with the Monster Wailing Blade. There were many captives in the camp, and he planned to use their blood to sharpen the blade!
“Master Su, you might as well rest for now.”
Ma Hong said to Su Changkong politely.
Now that Su Changkong could forge a monster soldier, he was their honored guest and deserved to be treated with respect!
