If this Hongming Blade weren't on Wangjian Mountain, even if it were under Wang Xianzhi's bed in Wudi City, he would definitely spare no effort to send someone to retrieve it.
Can...
That's Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm!
Even now, probably no one in the world can fathom even a tenth or a twentieth of its true potential.
As for the details, Emperor Liyang could only ponder them alone, through the Chumen System, while gazing at the Minghong Blade and 'quenching his thirst with a mirage'.
Aside from these two emperors, the eyes of all the great figures and martial arts masters in the land quickly and tacitly focused on the Minghong Blade.
The appearance of the ancient first divine sword, the Minghong Sword, shocked and drew the attention of the entire world.
However, the shock felt by people across the world through the Truman System was naturally not as direct and impactful as that of Minister Nangong, who was actually there.
Nangong Pushe stared at the small mountain formed by meteorite iron from outer space, and the rare weapons covering the mountain. His red lips remained unspoken, and his watery eyes were vacant.
For a moment, he was so surprised that he was stunned.
"Ahem." Ye Fan, standing next to Nangong Pushe, coughed lightly twice: "These... are just ordinary swords. It's just that the blacksmiths in the mountains were a bit cunning back then, so they made them into strange and unusual shapes."
“Look at those, those are all pretty good knives. I sometimes use them to cut vegetables and chop meat. If you like, just pick a couple to use first.”
"Ordinary swords...?" Nangong Pushe, having recovered his senses, turned around and looked at Ye Fan with a strange expression.
Who is Minister Nangong? Among all the swordsmen in the world, apart from a few well-established swordsmen like Wang Xianzhi, there are probably few who can rival him.
In addition to his extraordinary background, Nangong Pushe had seen countless famous and precious swords in his daily life.
Indeed, even without the Chu Clan System and without knowing Ye Fan's style of doing things, Minister Nangong could still tell at a glance that the many swords and knives in this courtyard were extraordinary!
Moreover, Minister Nangong had read many ancient books and classics, so he naturally recognized the most prestigious ancient sword, the Minghong Sword, at a glance!
Even though Minister Nangong was somewhat prepared, his heart still pounded wildly at the appearance of the Minghong Blade.
Meanwhile, all the various forces in the world were simultaneously exasperated by Ye Fan's words.
Everyone couldn't help but shout in their hearts.
These are all peerless weapons!
Ye Fan actually used it to chop vegetables and cut meat? He might even use it to chop firewood and cook!
No one doubted the truthfulness of Ye Fan's words. After all, judging from Ye Fan's actions over the past few days, people all over the world were quite certain that if it were Ye Fan, he would definitely be able to do such a thing.
However, after complaining about these other things...
Everyone felt a sense of envy.
You should know that all the weapons in this courtyard are peerless divine weapons!
For a martial artist, a weapon is like a second life.
It could even be said that many martial artists became famous because they had a handy divine weapon.
To obtain a weapon from this courtyard is akin to receiving a stroke of good fortune!
How could this not make countless martial artists in the world envious and jealous of Nangong Pushe's fate?
Biting her thin lips, she forced herself to calm her wildly beating heart. Nangong Pushe's breathing became rapid, causing her voice to tremble slightly: "Can I really go in and choose a weapon?"
Scratching his head, Ye Fan coughed lightly: "Do you still need to doubt what I said? Anyway, they are all ordinary weapons, just take whichever one you like."
Upon hearing this, Minister Nangong quickly bowed to Ye Fan: "Thank you, Master!"
Then, like a child who had received candy, he quickly entered the courtyard.
There are many weapons on the small hill of celestial iron in the courtyard, probably numbering in the thousands.
The various weapons scattered haphazardly on the Heavenly Black Iron Mountain were not truly chaotic.
Swords are stuck together, axes are piled up, seemingly chaotic but actually organized.
When Minister Nangong walked to the area filled with all kinds of famous swords, he was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of precious blades.
With Nangong Pushe's intelligence, he naturally wouldn't set his sights on that ancient divine sword, Minghong Blade.
However, apart from the Minghong Blade, these other precious swords are all rare and sharp masterpieces.
Take the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow sword as an example.
Requesting flowers (or flowers)
This knife is about three feet nine inches long, and its back is engraved with ancient weapons, such as Zhanlu of Wu and Chu, Longque of the Great Xia, famous in the capital, capable of winning over distant lands and pacifying nearby ones, as gentle as the wind sweeping through the grass, and awe-inspiring throughout the nine regions.
The Commentary on the Waterways Classic (specifically, the section on the Yellow River) records: "They also made five kinds of weapons, which were sharp and exquisite. They were all refined a hundred times to make a large dragon and sparrow ring, which was called the Great Xia Dragon and Sparrow."
This precious sword alone, in terms of both its origin and its sharpness, is a priceless treasure in the world.
However, Minister Nangong did not choose the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.
The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow is good, but this sword is a ring-pommel sword, and its shape is not for reverse grip. In addition, the blade is three feet and nine inches long, making it a two-handed sword, which is not conducive to the use of the Nineteen Stops technique practiced by Minister Nangong.
Moreover, Minister Nangong also knew that although this sword was not as precious as the Hongming Sword, it was still a rare treasure in the world.
Having just gained Ye Fan's approval, Nangong Pushe did not want to ruin Ye Fan's impression of her here.
However, there are at least hundreds, if not millions, of hidden treasured swords in this courtyard.
Continuing his search, Minister Nangong soon found two suitable treasured swords for himself.
…
These two precious swords are named Dragon Fang and Tiger Wing.
Both swords are among the three great evil blades of ancient times.
Legend has it that the three swords were forged using many malevolent substances and were bound by various curses.
At the end of the Xia Dynasty, it belonged to the ruler Jie, after which tyranny began.
The three knives were enshrined in the ancestral temple of the Xia Dynasty.
According to historical records, when Tang of Shang attacked the ancestral temple of the Xia Dynasty, dark clouds covered the sky, ghosts cried and gods howled, and the three evil swords, Dragon Fang, Tiger Wing and Dog God, transformed into three evil winds that attacked, causing countless deaths and injuries to the Shang army.
King Tang dismounted and, wielding the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, stormed into the main hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple alone. He swiftly slashed with the sword, shattering the three evil blades into fragments that were then sealed underground.
Originally, Minister Nangong thought that these three precious swords had indeed turned into mud and disappeared with the wind, just as the ancient books described.
Unexpectedly, today in Ye Fan's courtyard, I saw the figures of these three treasured swords!
Of the three treasured swords, the Dragon Fang Blade is narrow and long, while the Tiger Wing Blade is wide and short, quite similar to the Embroidered Winter Spring Thunder Blade, making them perfect for the Nineteen Stops technique.
At first glance, Minister Nangong fell in love with the two precious swords.
Carefully pulling the two precious swords from the Heavenly Black Iron Mountain, Nangong Pushe approached Ye Fan and whispered, "May I...may I have these two swords?"
Ye Fan casually waved his hand and chuckled, "Didn't I tell you to pick whatever you like? Just pick what you want."
Ye Fan's casual manner left the powerful figures from various factions and countless martial arts masters watching the Chu Clan System speechless with astonishment.
The origins of the Dragon Fang and Tiger Wing Twin Blades are far inferior to those of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow or the Hongming Blade.
Even so, in the world, it would still be enough to make countless martial arts masters fight tooth and nail!
But these two magical weapons were given away to Ye Fan as casually as a woodcutter's knife or a kitchen knife, and judging from Ye Fan's attitude, he didn't seem to care at all.
Indeed, each of the countless rare artifacts in this courtyard is incredibly precious, and the absence of these two swords has not diminished the courtyard's splendor in the slightest.
To outsiders, this scene evoked nothing but envy and admiration; they could only marvel at Ye Fan's generosity!
However, this scene took on a different meaning when seen by one person.
This person was none other than Li Hanyi Wan.
Chapter 77 Li Hanyi's heart was breaking; Ye Fan's true identity!
Xueyue City
Li Hanyi's Separate Residence
Their tender, white hands were clenched together for who knows how long.
Her delicate hands had lost all color and turned deathly pale.
Even so, Li Hanyi remained completely unaware.
Her pair of tender, watery eyes had once captivated countless young men, but now they burned with anger due to jealousy.
As a Snow Moon Sword Immortal, Li Hanyi didn't know much about knives.
Even so, having practiced martial arts for many years, she could naturally tell that the twin swords in Nangong Pushe's hands were made of extraordinary materials.
Not long ago, Minister Nangong had the opportunity to realize that all of this should have belonged to her!
A strange chill rose in her heart. Li Hanyi reached out and touched her chest, feeling her uneasy heartbeat, and bit her thin lips.
She didn't understand why her heart was suddenly clenching with pain; this unprecedented feeling panicked her.
However, Li Hanyi obviously couldn't care less about these things at the moment.
Her mind was a jumbled mess, her heart a tangled mess.
Why...why would Ye Fan treat Nangong Pushe this way?
Isn't he deeply in love with himself and unable to extricate himself?
So what is he doing now?
