Chapter 73: Is Your Life Worth Enough?

  The sword emitted a soft and gentle glow, as if a pool of autumn water was rippling back and forth on its surface.

  A maiden held a sword in one hand, and with the other hand, she bent her finger into a hook shape and plucked it. A strand of silent and soundless finger wind strummed against the sword, causing the long sword to quiver. Suddenly, a loud dragon's wail-like sword hum rose up, resonating clearly and lingering on.

  "Indeed, it's a divine weapon!" The girl praised. Immediately after, she inserted the long sword into its scabbard and picked up that large knife again. After examining all four weapons, she finally lifted her head to look at Chu Yang.

  Chu Yang watched with a cold eye; the girl's expression from head to toe was surprisingly calm; even when she saw this truly rare sword, her eyes didn't change in the slightest.

  Some expected "shock, surprise, greed, reluctance" and so on emotions, but in this girl's eyes, there was not a single one!

  It seems like I've just glanced over it, and that's all. Everything is so ordinary.

  Chu Yang couldn't help but feel a little shocked: such a state of mind, such cultivation, was this still a young girl?

  "What's the price?" The girl seemed to be thinking about something and asked this question in a somewhat absent-minded manner.

  Chu Yang was pondering the identity of this young girl. Judging from her demeanor, every gesture and movement seemed to carry an air of authority, as if she was accustomed to ordering people around. Moreover, there was a kind of innate nobility about her that was hard to put into words. He thought to himself, "It seems that she must be a member of the aristocracy." Even if she wasn't directly related to the imperial family, she must be a princess or a lady from a noble house.

  But what's strange is that such a person came out, and there were no guards around him? This is indeed bizarre. Is the security of Iron Cloud City really good to this extent?

  Just then a lone customer came in, and now another girl has arrived. And she's also like that.

  Also, since Chu Yang put up the sign of Tian Bing Pavilion, he should be prepared for someone to come and cause trouble. He would take advantage of the situation to make a big stir, then use the momentum to gain fame, using his divine sword to create the biggest public opinion storm in Iron Cloud City, standing at the forefront of the trend.

  Who would have thought that except for a little troublemaker on the opening day, there hasn't been anyone coming to visit until now.

  Those pampered young masters, arrogant girls, bullying nobles and royal relatives who relied on the tiger's might to intimidate others were all nowhere to be found! In the capital of Iron Cloud Nation where one kick could send three such people flying, they had all vanished into thin air.

  This is also too strange!

  "Every single one is worth ten million taels of gold! Or, take out the genius treasures that can be exchanged, such as Seven Star White Jade Orchid, Nine Leaf Ling Ginseng, Void Spirit Purple Ganoderma, and Ten Thousand Year Old Golden Essence. If not, then Purple Crystal Jade, Mysterious Iron, Stellar Steel, Dream Silver, and Diamond Sand are also acceptable. Each one is worth eighteen thousand catties, if I approve of it, you can take it away." Chu Yang looked at this little servant girl with an interesting gaze, reporting a number that was absolutely astronomical! This number, even if it were to be used as the national budget, would still be enormous.

  These conditions were exactly what Jianhun had told him were the upgrade conditions. At this moment, he repeated them verbatim, and indeed shocked the girl severely!

  Although she had extraordinary willpower, far surpassing that of ordinary people, the other party's lion-like open mouth still made her heart involuntarily feel a little angry.

  Always shouting that these four treasured swords cannot be sold, even the zombie-faced Gu Du Xing suddenly opened his mouth wide.

  At this price, it's beyond robbery, you might as well go rob a national treasury...

  "You don't want to sell directly, right?" The girl's eyes turned cold as she looked at Chu Yang, speaking out the words that Gu Du Xing had in his heart.

  Chu Yang smiled slightly, took out a gold ingot from his bosom, and the next moment, the sword was already in his hand. The gold ingot clanged onto the table, and the long sword chopped down like a knife.

  A few snickers sounded out, as if a sharp knife was cutting through tofu.

  Under the girl's unbelieving gaze, a piece of gold that had been blinking its eyes in a kung fu move suddenly turned into a handful of golden leaves. They scattered across the table, shining brightly.

  Then Chu Yang's right hand grasped, and the massive iron block weighing hundreds of pounds against the door had already arrived at his feet. The long sword hung still above the iron block, then his hand relaxed. The sword tip pointed down, falling calmly.

  Heh!

  The long sword silently and quietly inserted into the iron block, straightly inserting half of the sword body! Only a foot-long sword blade was left, slightly swaying, emitting a soft glow.

  The girl's eyes showed a shocked expression.

  "Is it worth it?" Chu Yang asked with a smile, his arms crossed over his chest.

  The girl stared straight at the sword, with a fervent glow in her eyes.

  Now Iron Cloud is missing a divine weapon, which isn't bad; but she absolutely didn't think that at this moment, what appeared in front of her eyes would be such a legendary weapon!

  Tianbing Pavilion! It is indeed a well-deserved reputation, and it lives up to its name!

  "What a treasure! Such a divine sword is priceless, no matter how much money it's worth, it's still a bargain!" A voice suddenly boomed. Along with this voice, a sturdy figure appeared behind the girl.

  The moment this voice sounded, Chu Yang and Gu Du Xing were both shocked to look at each other! Because, with their spiritual awareness, they hadn't even noticed when this person had arrived. Doesn't this mean that this person's cultivation is at least already beyond Wu Zong?

  He has a majestic physique, a square face, warm and sharp eyes; thick eyebrows, straight nose, three strands of black whiskers under his chin, slightly fluttering. He just stands there, but his broad shoulders give people a feeling that he is holding up the entire sky!

  An aura of invincibility emanates from him!

  No need for any self-introduction, Chu Yang and Gu Du Xing immediately recognized this person!

  In this world, except for the first place, no one else can have such a momentum as Iron Dragon City! Only Iron Dragon City can stand out with such a majestic and powerful feeling, like a towering mountain, just by standing upright!

  Iron Cloud Empire's number one military leader! The entire Iron Cloud Nation, one of the two pillars that hold up the sky, a war god of the Nine Heavens Continent for generations, Iron Dragon City!

  At the same time, Chu Yang suddenly discovered that the entire street had suddenly become quiet, eerily and abnormally so. It turned out that at some point, troops of elite soldiers had already completely sealed off the entire street!

  The originally bustling and prosperous long street is now so quiet that a pin drop can be heard!

  At the entrance of Tianbing Pavilion, four people stood in pairs on either side, their emotionless eyes fixed on the interior of the shop. Although he hadn't seen them, Chuyang knew that the back window and rooftop must also be filled with people! And they were experts!

  "Indeed a fine sword!" The Iron Dragon City's sharp eyes glanced at the swaying sword, then immediately turned around, looking at the girl, his expression first softening: "What are you doing here?"

  "Then asked: 'How are you alone here?'"

  "I'll take a look." The young girl smiled calmly: "I'm really curious about this Tian Bing Ge."

  "Where are your guards?" The Iron Dragon City's thick eyebrows furrowed, his eyes gleaming with cold light: "Those guys, what are they eating?! They're simply the most shameless! Letting you run out alone like this? When I get back, I'll catch them all and chop them up to feed the dogs!"

  "It was me who sneaked out myself. It has nothing to do with them." The girl grabbed the shoulder of Iron Dragon City and shook it, pleading: "Second Uncle, this is my only little secret, my only way to relax..."

  Tie Long Cheng let out a long sigh, his gaze at the girl showing a hint of pity and regret, as if he no longer wanted to pursue the matter. He turned to ask Chu Yang, "Kid, I'll take these two swords and two knives!"

  Chu Yang was taken aback and asked sideways, "What did you use to buy it?"

  "It's not like I'm buying it with gold." Tielong City narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Are you willing to pay the price of your life?"
