Chapter 64

Hearing the commotion over here, the three people who were playing with the three weapons they had obtained also ran over, their eyes widening instantly.

"What is this?" they exclaimed in surprise.

Clearly, they had never imagined that there were hidden weapons here.

In the crystal counter, five weapons emitted different glows, dazzling and brilliant.

Tanggu reached out to pick up the dragon-shaped short knife, held it in his hand, and lightly slashed.

"Pu!"

A faint dragon-shaped ripple clearly flashed through the air, and then, a thin, narrow crack appeared silently on the distant green iron wall.

Seeing this, the old man in blue was shocked and hurriedly stopped him, "Ancestor, don't be reckless. This is a crucial armory. Do you want to destroy it completely?"

"Uh!"

Tanggu rubbed his nose awkwardly, looking at the knife in his hand, his eyes already shining.

He had never expected that the weapons in the armory would be so powerful. Just now, he hadn't even used any strength; he just wanted to try if it felt right in his hand. Who knew that the hard green iron wall could be slashed with a crack so easily.

Putting down the knife, he picked up the sword, feeling a strange heat surge to his heart. The ice-melting cold energy in his body automatically surged out to counteract it.

Shaking his head, Tanggu tried the delicate blue short crossbow and the black triangular small fork one by one, and finally, his gaze fell on the small, unremarkable scorpion-shaped wrist guard.

"What is this?"

He asked curiously.

Seeing this, the old man in blue explained, "The small knife is called Nine Dragons, the red sword is called Golden Crow, the crossbow is called Sky Hunter, the fork is called Sea Turner, and this wrist guard is called Thousand Resilient Threads, also known as Edge Thread."

"Edge Thread?"

Tanggu was puzzled, reaching out to take the scorpion-shaped wrist guard. It was made from a single piece of fine iron, carved into the shape of a black ancient scorpion. Although the craftsmanship was exquisite and it felt cold to the touch, it seemed quite heavy, but it had no connection with the word 'thread' at all.

The other three were also puzzled, looking curiously at the old man in blue, waiting for his explanation.

The old man took it from Tanggu, smiled slightly, and in front of them, opened the wrist guard and gently put it on his left arm, then lightly pressed a round button on the side.

"Chi!"

Suddenly, a peculiar sound of silk being ejected, a flexible, long, dragon-shaped thread, shimmering with a dark green light, suddenly shot out, grabbing the corner of a wooden chair opposite.

The old man in blue wrapped the dragon-shaped thread around his finger and then gently pulled. The corner of the wooden chair, as hard as iron, was completely split in two, the cut as smooth as if cut by a knife, with no rough edges or irregularities.

"Ah!"

This time, not only Tanggu, but everyone was stunned.

"Originally, this is the true form of this weapon. Using a thread as a sword is rare in the world. This is a unique weapon."

Weapons in the world come in countless forms. Besides the conventional types like knives, spears, swords, and staffs, there are also many unique weapons, varied and numerous, and even more difficult to guard against.

Threads... In fact, they are not really considered weapons, but... there are a few people who use them as weapons, and when used, they are unpredictable and extremely terrifying.

If this green thread is really very sharp, its effectiveness might not be inferior to knives and swords, and in many situations, it could be even more effective.

The old man saw their shock, smiled slightly, retracted the green thread, and then wrapped it around his finger, showing them a segment.

"Do you think this is an ordinary steel thread? You are wrong, completely wrong. This is the world-renowned Thousand Resilient Threads, forged by a master craftsman through countless years and efforts. It is extremely rare and worth a fortune."

"Moreover, look closely... its name is Edge Thread. Do you know what the word 'edge' means?"

"Ah?"

Hearing this, the four people felt something was off and looked down at the green thread in the old man's hand. At first, they didn't notice anything, but when they really saw it clearly, all four of them sucked in a breath of cold air.

This was not just a steel thread... It was clearly a strange thread with a fine, sharp edge on one side!

They saw that the inner side of the thread actually had a fine, sharp silver edge, which was hard to notice unless you looked closely. The other three sides were normally round, flexible, and smooth, tightly woven.

But if you grabbed it casually like the old man did, if you didn't know its nature, it could immediately cut a fine, bloody wound that would be hard to stop.

"This?"

All four people were stunned.

A thread as thin as a hair contained a sharp edge. Such craftsmanship was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the difficulty was immeasurable.

If the old man hadn't explained it today, they might never have discovered the secret of this unremarkable thread, even after ten years.

"Edge Thread, using it to kill, it is simply invincible!"

The four people were amazed and finally understood why an unremarkable thread could be worthy of the reputation of an Eighth Rank Common weapon... Even if it were a Ninth Rank, they would think it was worth it.

The old man chuckled, pressed a mechanism, and the steel thread instantly retracted back into the scorpion-shaped wrist guard. He unfastened it and handed it back to Tanggu, "Alright, choose for yourself. All five are Eighth Rank Common weapons, and all are of the highest quality... No matter which one you choose, you won't lose!"

Hearing this, Tanggu did not hesitate, directly fastened the scorpion-shaped wrist guard on his left arm, then put down his sleeve to cover it, making it invisible from the outside.

"I have decided. I will choose this, and I will not change my mind!"

The moment the old man in blue ejected the green thread, he had already made up his mind... He would choose this. Although at first, when he saw the crystal counter, he had intended to choose the blue short crossbow called "Sky Hunter."

Seeing that Tanggu had already fastened the scorpion-shaped wrist guard on his arm, the old man in blue smiled, stretching out his hand to praise, "Good, you have courage!"

He advised, "Weapons in the world come in countless forms and variations... but their purpose is the same: to kill, to protect oneself, or to become part of one's body and strength. So, the form is important, but not that important. It depends on your preference. Nothing is absolute.

But this thread is very sinister and powerful. You must use it with caution, with great caution."

"Yes." Tanggu also saw the terrifying nature of the thread and nodded in agreement. If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't use it lightly, because once it was used, it could kill silently, and there would be no way to save the victim.

Moreover, the more powerful the thread, the more he would use it as a trump card, not showing it easily.

"Um." The old man nodded in satisfaction and then smiled mysteriously, "Of course, I can guarantee that you won't lose by choosing this thread.

This Edge Thread is the only item in this armory that comes from the Weaponry Manor. Its origin is significant, and it can be called priceless, though no one has been able to use it."

At this point, even he couldn't help but sigh, indicating that there was another story behind it. The other four people completely ignored this point, focusing only on the four words, and their bodies suddenly trembled in disbelief: "Weaponry Manor?"

After hearing these four words, the looks in the eyes of Ping Jiusan, Chen Xingxiu, and Chen Hun were filled with nothing but naked jealousy and envy.

In the cultivation world, there is a saying: "The knives of Embrace Knife Valley, the swords of Supreme Autumn Wind Pavilion, the experts of Vast Snow Eyebrow Mountain, the men of Red Leaf Ghost City, the precious medicines of Apricot Grove Manor, and the fine wines of Guangling Cave.

The nine lives of the plum blossoms in the Sea Peach Jade Hall are rare, the beauties of Beauty Valley can make the world fall, and the fine weapons of Weaponry Manor are known throughout the world."

Weaponry Manor is not a sect but a unique place dedicated to forging, making, and selling weapons. The weapons produced there are not many, and sometimes, not even one can be seen for years.

But every piece is a masterpiece.

Common, inferior, defective, or crude... these words are absolutely unrelated to Weaponry Manor. Any weapon with any of these flaws, regardless of its rank, value, or function, will never leave Weaponry Manor.

The people there have such strict requirements for weapons that it seems "rigorous" to outsiders. And if you want them to custom-make a weapon for you, it will be extremely expensive, and sometimes, no matter how much you pay, it's impossible.

But any weapon that comes out of there, regardless of its rank, function, or price, will be fought over to the point of bloodshed.

No one expected that this unremarkable "scorpion wrist guard" was actually one of the weapons forged and circulated from there.

If this were not an armory, and if there were no inner court elder beside them, the three people would have already tried to snatch it from Tanggu's arm.

And if they had known that the first person in the inner court would have such an opportunity, even if they had taken elixirs and practiced forbidden techniques before, they would have fought to get it...

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret.

Looking up at Tanggu's left arm, they saw nothing unusual. If they hadn't seen him put it on with their own eyes, they would never have known that Tanggu's arm was wrapped with such a dangerous thing.

All three felt a chill run down their spines and quietly stepped back, distancing themselves from Tanggu.
