Jiang Feng, charging at full speed, quickly crossed over the lizardmen's corpses and arrived in front of the snake woman. The snake woman, who was already at the end of her strength, straightened her body somewhat when she saw Jiang Feng charging towards her and swinging his ice axe. A pair of slender hands reached out to grab the ice axe Jiang Feng was wielding.
The ice axe in Jiang Feng's right hand was caught by the snake woman, preventing it from descending any further. Jiang Feng's left-hand ice axe swept horizontally, aiming directly at the snake woman's head, which was covered with small black snakes.
The snake woman let out a scream, tilting her head back to avoid Jiang Feng's ice axe. Jiang Feng left a wound on the snake woman's feminine face. At this moment, the snake woman suddenly released Jiang Feng's ice axe, and her snake tail swept towards him, hitting him and sending him flying out of the building.
Hanging from the edge of the roof, Jiang Feng quickly used his ice axe to hook onto the edge, hanging his body over the side. He felt intense pain in his bones. The snake woman's tail had seriously injured him.
"Black Iron Rank 3, indeed isn't easy to provoke," Jiang Feng muttered as he used the ice axe in his other hand to hook onto the edge of the roof and began to climb up.
As soon as he showed half of his body, he saw the snake woman charging towards him. Jiang Feng quickly leaped up. When his feet touched the roof, he kicked off with all his strength, using the momentum to pounce to the side. The snake woman's tail swept the edge of the roof at this moment.
Seeing the bricks on the edge of the roof shattered, Jiang Feng cursed the snake woman in his heart, wondering how she could still have such strength when she was almost dead. He quickly dodged to the side. As soon as he moved, the snake woman's tail swept towards him again.
After missing Jiang Feng twice in a row, the snake woman became very agitated. However, she was indeed at the end of her strength and could no longer easily catch Jiang Feng as she had before. Jiang Feng kept dodging her increasingly slow tail, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Retreating to the small house leading to the building's interior, Jiang Feng removed the wrist strap from the ice axe in his left hand. When the snake woman's tail hit the small house behind him, Jiang Feng swung his left-hand ice axe, nailing the already wounded tail to the wall. He then pounced towards the snake woman.
Before the snake woman could free herself, Jiang Feng rushed to her face. The ice axe in his right hand aimed directly at her head. The extremely weak snake woman tried to block with her hands but was a split second too late. Jiang Feng's ice axe pierced her temple. At this moment, the snake woman's tail suddenly retracted and hit Jiang Feng's back, causing both of them to fall down.
Jiang Feng, spitting blood from the snake woman's final blow, slowly supported himself. Looking around, he saw that he was the only one still standing. He smiled happily.
"Two Black Iron Rank 3, two Black Iron Rank 1, and two or thirty Black Iron Rank 0. This time, I've made a big profit," Jiang Feng said, sitting on the ground and speaking indistinctly.
After consuming a yuan crystal to heal his injuries, Jiang Feng hurriedly retrieved the yuan crystals from the snake woman's body. When the yuan crystal appeared, a card also appeared.
Without carefully examining the card, Jiang Feng rushed to the wolf eagle's corpse. When he retrieved the yuan crystal from the wolf eagle's body, another black card appeared. He then retrieved the yuan crystals from the lizardmen's bodies, not missing a single one. He also found another card on one of the elite lizardmen.
Two Black Iron Rank 3 yuan crystals, two Black Iron Rank 1 yuan crystals, and twenty-three Black Iron Rank 0 yuan crystals were carefully stored by Jiang Feng. He then carefully examined the three Black Iron cards.
One of the cards was the same as Zhang Haitao's, a cultivation technique inheritance card. The other two were equipment cards. One of the equipment cards depicted a pair of black wrist guards. The text below indicated that these were low-grade Black Iron wrist guards with basic defensive capabilities, not the knife Jiang Feng was looking for.
It seemed that the knife Jiang Feng was looking for was in the unsealed equipment card. He first glanced at the cultivation technique inheritance card, which had already been unsealed and depicted a book. The text below the book explained that the cultivation technique was called "Seven Steps Soul Chasing Slash," a high-grade Black Iron cultivation technique. This made Jiang Feng ecstatic.
After putting away the two cards, Jiang Feng began to unseal the equipment card. After absorbing a yuan crystal, the card showed no reaction. Jiang Feng thought for a moment and then absorbed two more yuan crystals, but there was still no reaction.
"Based on the information I've seen, this knife is an upgradable equipment. When it first appeared, it was a five-star Black Iron equipment. Such a good thing is probably not something that can be unsealed with just a few zero-grade yuan crystals," Jiang Feng thought.
Thinking about it, Jiang Feng took out a Black Iron Rank 3 yuan crystal. With a determined heart, he pressed the Black Iron Rank 3 yuan crystal onto the card. After absorbing it, the card began to react. Patterns started to appear on the edges, and a long knife appeared in the center.
Seeing the long knife appear, Jiang Feng was somewhat excited. He quickly noticed that the image on the card was not very stable. Jiang Feng hurriedly took out another Black Iron Rank 0 yuan crystal and pressed it onto the card. This stabilized the image on the card. For safety, he pressed another Black Iron Rank 0 yuan crystal onto the card.
This time, a golden light flashed on the card, and the image on it stabilized completely. Jiang Feng channeled his yuan qi from his yuan dan, and the card immediately disintegrated. From the disintegrated card, a long knife emerged.
Including the handle, the length of the knife was over 1.3 meters. The shape of the knife resembled a Tang knife, but the blade was wider, almost three fingers wide.
The handle was also quite long, suitable for a two-handed grip. The oval guard was wrapped in a layer of white fur. The handle was also wrapped in red and blue cords, with a small section of cord hanging from the end. The most peculiar thing was that the two colors of the cords were clearly separated, one side entirely red and the other entirely blue.
The knife had a sheath, which appeared to be made of some black leather. However, it did not feel like leather at all, but more like metal. About 7-8 centimeters from the top of the sheath, a section of red and blue cords, similar to those on the handle, was wrapped around. A section of red cord also hung down, one side entirely red and the other entirely blue.
"Ice and Fire Soul Chasing Knife, forged from the coldest and hottest iron in the universe. The blade is incredibly sharp and can unleash ice and fire attacks. It was originally a weapon of a powerful figure. When this figure fell, the knife also lost its glory. Now it is only at the nine-star Black Iron level," Jiang Feng said to himself, holding the handle.
What he said was exactly what was written on the card and the information he had seen in his vision of the future. With the knife right in front of him, Jiang Feng could not resist drawing it.
A clear metallic sound rang out as the knife was drawn from the sheath. The blade, which could reflect light, emitted a cold glow. Jiang Feng also felt a wave of icy coldness emanating from the blade.
Just as he was about to exclaim how good the knife was, Jiang Feng suddenly froze. He saw that the handle of the knife was still in the sheath in his left hand, as if he had never drawn it out. Moreover, the cords on the handle had turned completely red.
"Am I seeing things?" Jiang Feng said, blinking his eyes several times. But both the cold knife in his right hand and the knife in the sheath in his left hand were still there.
Confused, Jiang Feng tried to draw the knife from the sheath again. But it wouldn't budge. He also didn't know how to put the drawn knife back.
"Should I just stab it? But what if I break it?" Jiang Feng muttered to himself, comparing the knife in his right hand to the sheath in his left hand.
He was just trying it out, but as soon as the blade touched the handle in his left hand, the knife in his hand immediately slid into the sheath. Jiang Feng clearly saw that the sheath, which was already holding a knife, did not prevent the other knife from entering.
"This is really strange. Is it just an illusion?" Jiang Feng said, trying to draw the knife again.
This time, when he drew the knife, it was no longer the cold knife but a long knife with a faint flame on its surface. This knife, compared to the previous one, belonged to a completely different attribute. Looking at the sheath, a knife was still inserted, and the handle had turned completely blue.
"I see. The Ice and Fire Soul Chasing Knife is not one but two. But why can't I draw both out?" Jiang Feng said to himself.
