Chapter 209 The Battle of Grandmasters 2
The four figures standing before the tightly closed city gates of the Dragon Kingdom were the highest-ranking members of the Dragon Kingdom's Imperial Guards—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise!
Among them, Qinglong held a striking weapon in his hand, named "The Fourteen Forms of the Great Ming Dynasty".
This weapon was obtained by Ji Lin through a lottery. It was one of the most powerful and divine weapons at the time, and its appearance was a wooden box shaped like a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument).
The design of this wooden box is ingenious, both exquisite and portable. Beneath its seemingly ordinary exterior lies a terrifyingly powerful destructive force.
Upon opening the wooden box, one is greeted by fourteen finely crafted steel swords gleaming with a cold light. These swords are neatly arranged in two layers inside the box, arranged from largest to smallest.
There are eight precious swords on the upper level, each with a unique name: Heaven, Earth, General, Law, Wisdom, Faith, Benevolence, and Courage.
These eight precious swords were typically used for interrogating criminals, with each sword representing a severe form of punishment.
On the lower level are arranged six other precious swords, the purpose of which is even more chilling, as they are specifically used to carry out executions.
The crimes corresponding to these six precious swords are, in order.
"Execute those who disobey orders."
"Two assassins who interfered in politics and abused their power"
"Three people were killed for embezzlement and corruption."
"Four traitors who betrayed their country and colluded with the enemy"
"The evildoer who killed his comrades-in-arms"
The last gleaming steel blade was named "Fengtian Chengren" (meaning "Serving Heaven and Achieving Benevolence"). This blade was reserved for those who failed in their missions and were left to end their own lives.
It is worth mentioning that these precious swords can not only be used individually, showcasing their unique power and skills, but can also be cleverly combined by rotating them to instantly form an enormous sword.
When this giant blade, formed from the fusion of fourteen precious swords, is wielded, its power is enough to deliver a devastating blow to the enemy, leaving them utterly helpless.
Furthermore, with just a gentle touch of the mechanism, these precious swords in the box can be launched at lightning speed like arrows, forming a dense rain of flying knives, thus achieving effective attacks on a wide range of targets.
Inside the wooden box, besides several precious swords, there was another hidden secret.
A hook made of fine steel was hidden at the bottom of the wooden box, with a strong steel wire attached to its end. When used together, the hook could be launched straight to the top of the besieged city, allowing people to easily perform the art of scaling walls and rooftops.
Furthermore, the box also contained a long crossbow that could fire two arrows at a time, specifically for long-range attacks. In addition, it also contained all the commonly used instruments such as a telescope.
Just then, Qinglong gently touched the hidden mechanism next to the wooden box.
In an instant, a series of whooshing sounds rang out as countless sharp throwing knives shot out of the box like a sudden storm, forming a dense net of blades that swiftly attacked Emperor Qing and his group.
Upon seeing the sudden rain of flying knives, Emperor Qing and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they all retreated rapidly.
However, among the three people, Emperor Qing and Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City remained fearless in the face of danger. He quickly drew his sword and unleashed a series of sword lights, knocking down the flying knives that were aimed at him one by one.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of metal clashing was deafening.
Just a second later, Qinglong decisively touched the mechanism in the wooden box again.
An amazing scene unfolded: the flying knives that were originally flying in the air seemed to be controlled by a mysterious force, and quickly gathered together, forming a huge, gleaming giant sword in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, Qinglong moved like a cannonball, and with a deafening roar, he suddenly shot out from his spot.
He moved with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, he had rushed in front of Emperor Qing and his group, and steadily caught the huge cleaver that crashed down from the sky.
Seeing this, the Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise were not to be outdone. They followed closely behind the Azure Dragon and each revealed their unique weapon.
In an instant, the vast battlefield seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, clearly divided into three distinct areas.
In the first area, Qinglong and Sigujian stood facing each other.
Si Gu Jian's eyes were sharp as lightning, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura. Without hesitation, he unleashed his ultimate technique - Si Gu Jian Intent!
This sword intent was unstoppable, disregarding everything around it, as if it wanted to shatter all obstacles with a single strike.
Si Gu Jian poured all his energy and spirit into the sword in his hand, causing the sword to hum and the surrounding air to ripple, emitting sharp and piercing sword cries, like the wailing of ten thousand ghosts, which were terrifying.
Despite facing such a formidable foe, Qinglong showed no fear.
His eyes were wide open, his hair stood on end in anger, and a murderous aura emanated from his body.
With a roar, the Azure Dragon unleashed its unique sword intent—loyalty and righteousness, and unwavering devotion to the country!
This sword intent was fierce and unparalleled, containing boundless loyalty and righteousness. At this moment, Qinglong was as if possessed by a war god, and the killing intent on his entire body was so dense that it condensed into a tangible thing.
If an ordinary person were to accidentally come into contact with this terrifying killing intent, at best they would lose their mind on the spot and become a fool; at worst they would lose their life and their soul would be scattered.
In the blink of an eye, a deafening roar suddenly rang out.
It turned out that the two swords had finally clashed head-on! In that instant, the flashes of swords and blades intertwined, sparking countless bursts of light.
The impact of the collision between the two extremely powerful forces was so immense that even the surrounding ground could not withstand the pressure and cracked open, forming deep, bottomless ravines.
At the same time, a deafening sonic boom suddenly exploded, echoing through the sky and causing birds and beasts within a radius of dozens of miles to flee in panic.
In stark contrast to the thrilling battle between Qinglong and Sigu Jian, the fierce battle between Baihu and Ye Liuyun was truly a "fist-to-fist" experience!
This was undoubtedly a breathtaking and visually stunning contest.
When Ye Liuyun first caught a glimpse of the White Tiger, he even had a slight thought of wanting to talk to it.
However, he never expected that the white tiger in front of him was a complete killer. He completely ignored Ye Liuyun's attempt to strike up a conversation and launched a fierce and ruthless attack on Ye Liuyun without saying a word.
And look at the weapon in the white tiger's hand—it is a pair of uniquely designed gauntlets.
These boxing gloves feature a perfectly streamlined design that fits snugly against the contours of the human hand, appearing as natural and fluid as if they were made by nature itself.
The back of his hand is slightly raised, just like the strong muscles about to unleash power. Just one glance is enough to make people feel the endless power contained within.
Looking further at the surface of the boxing gloves, they are covered with a layer of fine and delicate metallic scales.
These scales all shimmered with a mysterious, eerie blue light, as if some unknown, powerful force was quietly surging within them.
At the knuckles, there are meticulously inlaid extremely sharp bone spurs.
These bone spurs are all cast from a very special alloy, and their sharpness is beyond imagination. They gleam with a cold light and are breathtaking.
As for the knuckles, they appear particularly thick and solid, engraved with a series of intricate and profound runes. Whenever the battle reaches its climax, those runes suddenly illuminate, emitting a dazzling light, thus greatly enhancing the gauntlets' offensive power.
The wrist is equipped with a large wrist guard, which is engraved with exquisite patterns, and the energy transmission lines are hidden in the patterns.
The wristband is filled with a soft yet durable material that effectively protects the wrist joints while providing good support.
Furthermore, the gloves themselves possess a certain spirituality, allowing the user and the weapon to easily achieve a state of unity, with the weapon resonating with the user's body and enhancing the user's strength, speed, and reaction ability.
Wearing boxing gloves greatly enhances a user's physical abilities, resulting in faster, more powerful punches and quicker reactions.
Furthermore, the gauntlets can absorb the energy of the surrounding world and gather it at the runes on the gauntlets.
When a user throws a punch, this energy is released along with the punch, forming a powerful energy shockwave that can cause great damage to the enemy.
