Chapter 194: Nine Appearances Divine Dragon Ghost Sorrow

Inside the stone chamber, there were no martial arts manuals, no divine weapons, no gold, silver, or jewels; there were only corpses, a room full of corpses.

Yu Liancheng looked at Zhang Jing, whose face was deathly pale and who was almost retching again, shook his head, pulled her out, and closed the stone gate.

"Who are they? How... how could they have died here?" After a long while, Xiaoxiannv's complexion finally returned to normal.

Yu Liancheng pondered and said, "Their clothes are very coarse; they must have been the craftsmen who built this place."

Xiaoxiannv sighed and said, "For such a secret underground palace, once construction was complete, the owner would naturally not let them walk out alive."

"Exactly so." Yu Liancheng nodded: "It seems your luck is not very good; I had better take over from here."

He had already walked to a golden wall and turned a golden winch; the golden wall indeed moved accordingly, revealing a doorway.

Before the two of them had even walked in, a brilliant light had already spilled out. Behind this golden wall, there were unexpectedly nothing but jewels, countless jewels; no one could ever dream that there would be so many jewels.

"So many jewels! If you were to transport all these jewels out, I fear you would be the richest person in the world." Xiaoxiannv's eyes could not help but brighten; for a woman, such shiny things invariably held a strange attraction.

A look of contemplation appeared in Yu Liancheng's eyes, and he suddenly said, "The people before were all locked in the stone chamber and starved to death. I originally thought that was miserable enough, but I suddenly thought of an even more terrifying way to die."

"What?" Xiaoxiannv was startled.

"Starving to death is indeed terrifying, but if a person is extremely greedy, and they are ultimately locked in a room full of jewels only to be starved to death, wouldn't that be even more terrifying and more interesting?" Yu Liancheng said indifferently.

Xiaoxiannv could not help but shudder: "True, that is indeed very terrifying. Why did you suddenly have such a thought? Could it be that you want to use this method to deal with others?"

Yu Liancheng smiled. He closed the golden gate and came to a copper gate, turning the copper winch.

The door opened, and the aura of gold and iron was bone-chillingly cold.

The two of them had already seen all kinds of weapons and all kinds of hidden weapons.

Even with Yu Liancheng's knowledge, he could not name many of the weapons here.

Under the heavens, I fear all the murderous weapons have been displayed in this room.

Spears, the longest reaching up to eighteen feet, the shortest no more than three feet.

Swords, the largest resembling an oar, the smallest actually resembling a chopstick.

These weapons were arranged neatly; even though they had been covered in dust for who knows how many years, and even though they had no life, they seemed to contain a murderous intent—a bone-chilling murderous intent.

"I said you would obtain a more suitable weapon; haven't we found it now?" Yu Liancheng took down a weapon and threw it to Xiaoxiannv.

Xiaoxiannv took the weapon, and after just one glance, she could not help but be moved: "Could this be the legendary 'Nine Appearances Divine Dragon Ghost Sorrow'? Under the heavens, there are only two in total; I never expected one of them to be here."

The weapon in her hand, at a sudden glance, looked just like a golden dragon; the dragon's horns extended to the left and right, and from its open mouth, a jade-green tongue protruded.

It was precisely the Peerless Divine Weapon that every master of the whip in the Edo dreamed of: the Nine Appearances Divine Dragon Ghost Sorrow.

The whip body had reverse scales, capable of sticking to people's weapons and hidden weapons.

The dragon horns branched out, specifically designed to restrain the soft weapons of all the famous sects in the world.

The dragon tongue extended straight out to strike people's acupoints.

The open dragon horns could snatch a person's weapon as easily as reaching into a bag.

The dragon eyes were thunder-fire weapons, with terrifying power.

Inside the dragon's mouth, it could shoot out thirteen "Noon Midnight Heart Asking Nails," which would seal the throat upon drawing blood.

When necessary, the entire body of dragon scales could also be fired out.

If one did not know the details of this weapon, even top-tier experts would find it hard to dodge.

As long as it is wielded properly, even an ordinary person could use this weapon to kill a First-class Expert of the Edo.

Xiaoxiannv's eyes brightened. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Good, thank you. This weapon is truly the best gift I have received so far."

This woman had always been very proud; wanting to hear the words "thank you" from her mouth was harder than ascending to heaven, from which one could imagine the excitement in her heart at this moment.

But on the surface, she feigned a calm expression, though her tone was somewhat eager to try: "I wonder how this whip is to use?"

She held the golden whip, poured True Qi into it, and lashed out with force; the golden whip instantly transformed into a streak of Jinguang, and it was as if a dragon's roar and a thunderclap echoed throughout the entire room.

A killing weapon.

This was a true killing weapon.

Just for this weapon alone, Xiaoxiannv had not made this trip in vain.

Xiaoxiannv was overjoyed. She admired the golden whip for a long time before finally raising her head and saying, "There are many swords here; do you need to change yours? I... I will help you look for one."

This was also one of the reasons why Xiaoxiannv accepted the "Nine Appearances Divine Dragon Ghost Sorrow"; Yu Liancheng used a sword, and this whip was of little use to him.

Yu Liancheng shook his head and said, "There is no need; the sword I have now is very good."

The Duoqing Sword had three characteristics: hardness, weight, and sharpness; for Yu Liancheng, it was the most suitable.

Perhaps in the future, when going to the world of "Divine Weapon Profound Marvel," he could create a weapon more suited to his own martial arts.

There were truly too many weapons in this armory; the two of them were dazzled, and from time to time, they could see divine weapons that had long since vanished from the Edo.

Suddenly, they heard Xiaoxiannv exclaim: "Look... look quickly here..."

They saw a skeleton lying diagonally in a corner under the reflection of the cold light.

Not only had the skeleton's clothes rotted away, but the bones, which should have been grayish-white, had turned pitch-black, looking particularly terrifying under the cold light.

Xiaoxiannv pondered: "Looking at the way this person is lying, there was no struggle; clearly, they were killed in one blow. And since the bones have changed color, I fear they were poisoned."

Yu Liancheng said, "Correct, they were hit by someone's poisonous hidden weapon."

Xiaoxiannv looked closely and discovered that on the pitch-black bones, there were actually countless silver needles as thin as cow hair; such tiny silver needles were able to pierce through flesh and skin to lodge in the bones.

Just as Zhang Jing was wondering what kind of weapon could have such power, Yu Liancheng had already picked up a small, golden, gleaming cylinder from the weapon rack.

"If I am not mistaken, this is the 'Heavenly Juedi Bone Piercing Heart-Piercing Needle'." Zhang Jing's eyes brightened.

Yu Liancheng nodded: "It is a pity that the Bone Piercing Needles have been used up; this peerless hidden weapon is now useless."

Although he said this, he still kept the small cylinder.

Although this world had no famous master craftsmen, the "Lu Xiaofeng World" still had the Master of Ingenious Hands, Zhu Ting; perhaps in the future, he could let him take a look and recreate the majesty of this hidden weapon.

The two of them retreated from the copper gate.

Perhaps one day, the things in this armory will see the light of day again, and it will stir up another storm of blood.
