refining sword

Chapter 44
Only then did Tie Jian realize that his Burning Heaven Sword was lying quietly on the ground beside the table at this moment.

It seemed that the sound of the sword falling to the ground he heard outside the door just now came from this.

As soon as he thought of this, he raised his hand without saying a word, and a slender golden flame flew out, connected to the hilt of the sword, and pulled it back into his hand.

As soon as the long sword entered his hand, a crimson flame suddenly ignited, emitting bursts of incomparably hot air waves.

Opposite him, "Situ Ran" with a blood-colored long sword in his hand, stared at Tie Jian, wandering back and forth between him and Situ Hao, seeming to be a little hesitant.

At this moment, his expression suddenly changed, his body leaned forward slightly, but a large bloodstain seeped out from his chest.

It turned out that he had already been seriously injured, no wonder he couldn't escape the blow of the fireball technique just now.

I saw his body trembling like a sieve, and his round face became even more ferocious and strange.

Seeing this, Tie Jian didn't dare to determine whether he was deliberately disguising to lure him forward to attack, so he just took precautions instead of rushing forward.

But then, a very strange scene appeared in front of his eyes.

Accompanied by the sound of "click", "Situ Ran"'s body began to twist violently. His body shrank sharply and became very slender, while his facial features were twisted together. It looked like kneaded dough, so weird and disgusting.

Tie Qiang endured the discomfort in his heart and stared at "Situ Ran".

After a while, he found that he had finally turned into a slender, faceless man.

After revealing his true face, his body was still shaking, and it seemed that the injury on his body was too severe and he couldn't hold it back.

His pupilless cheeks turned to Tie Jian, as if he was unwilling, and gave him a deep look, and finally his figure flashed, smashed the window, and exited the attic. Several rabbits rose and fell, and disappeared into the garden. .

Tie Jian hurriedly chased to the door, looked around and saw that he had indeed escaped, so he put away his long sword and hurriedly returned to the house.

He supported Situ Hao against the wall of the house, and quickly checked his injuries.

After seeing this, Tie Jian couldn't help clenching Situ Hao's arm with both hands, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Situ Hao's dantian had been completely smashed into pieces by the faceless man, and a blood-red filthy aura was stagnant in it. At this moment, just like a living thing, blood vessels in the form of blood vessels extended from it, eroding in all directions. on.

Although the injury here is extremely serious, it is not enough to endanger his life.

However, a wound in his heart completely cut off his heart and completely cut off his vitality.

If it wasn't for Situ Hao's extremely high cultivation level, he would have died of anger at this moment.

But Rao is like this, and his face is already haunted by death, and it is the moment when the oil is exhausted.

Tie Jian flipped his palm, took out a blue pill that could relieve his pain, and brought it to Situ Hao's mouth, asking him to take it.

The latter shook his head slowly, raised his hand with difficulty, and pointed to a black round bottle that rolled to the ground under his finger.

Tie Jian hurriedly picked up the round bottle, removed the cork, and poured it out, only to find that there was only one medicinal pill in it.

The whole body of the pill is black, and it is quite heavy to start. It smells slightly spicy, and it is obviously not a holy medicine to bring back the dead.

Tie Jian was holding it in his hand, and his movements were a little sluggish, but Situ Hao smiled at him with difficulty and motioned him to feed him.

He had no choice but to send the medicine pill over and give it to Situ Hao.

Situ Hao's Adam's apple moved up and down, the medicinal pill entered his abdomen, his cheeks immediately flushed red, his eyes protruded outwards, and he looked very painful.

However, after a while, his brows stretched out, the unnatural redness on his face gradually subsided, his face returned to normal, and his eyes became clear.

Seeing Tie Jian's worried look on his face, Situ Hao waved his hand, sat up slightly, and said slowly, "Soul Burning Pill, just return the light and shine, and last for half an hour at most."

"Then... I will immediately notify Master Situ?" Tie Jian had expected this, and after hesitating for a moment, he immediately got up and went to notify others.

The Master Situ in his mouth naturally refers to the real Situ Ran.

"Cough cough... No need, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that time..." Situ Hao shook his head to stop Tie Jian.

"Master, what happened?" Tie Jian asked.

"I originally asked you to meet here today because I wanted to ask you about the strange fire on your body... Don't be so surprised, if you can't detect from the Burning Heaven Sword that you are carrying the strange fire, I, the spirit sword master, will be considered a waste. ." Situ Hao grinned, as if he didn't have the consciousness that a dying person should have.

Tie Jian smiled bitterly, neither admitting nor refuting.

"But I didn't expect it. Instead of waiting for you, the thief came. He pretended to be my son, and his aura was exactly the same. I didn't look at it for a while, but I couldn't tell it..." Situ Hao continued.

After listening to him for a while, Tie Jian finally understood the general process of what happened.

It turned out that at that time, Situ Hao was studying the Burning Heaven Sword that Tie Jian had forged, but the faceless man pretended to be Situ Ran, saying that he knew that the sword was forged by a different fire, and that he knew some unknown secrets.

Situ Hao did not suspect him, but just as he was listening carefully, the faceless man suddenly attacked and seriously injured him.

Originally, the injuries were not enough to make him feel so embarrassed, but the faceless man did not know what kind of evil method he used, and he planted a blood-stained energy in his body, contaminating the spirit sword in his dwelling hole.

After that, his dantian was occupied by blood-stained energy, and it shattered from the inside to the outside, completely losing the ability to resist.

"Although he forced me to death, I also seriously injured him...cough, if you hadn't come here at this time, I'm afraid I would have already died at the hands of that thief." Situ Hao smiled wryly. said.

"To be honest, Master Situ, it is very likely that the faceless man entered the Great Yue border because he was chasing me." Tie Jian hesitated for a moment, and a little guiltily told the truth about his guess.

"Is it because of the strange fire on your body?" Situ Hao asked.

"Yes, I was originally from the state of Jin, but I was coveted by others because of a strange fire on my body, and I was hunted all the way to the state of Yue." Tie Jian did not hide a man who was about to die.

"Actually, you don't have to feel guilty. Although there are some reasons for you, but not all. Besides, this is not the first time I have been assassinated." Situ Hao looked at Tie Jian's expression, slightly moved, and said.

Hearing this, Tie Jian took a step back subconsciously, as if he didn't know why.

"The two countries of Jin and Yue have been in peace and truce for many years, but since more than ten years ago, the Jin country has suddenly become eager to move, and they continue to send killers to sneak into the country of Yue, and it is also time to assassinate the swordsmen of the country of Yue. It has happened. Especially in the past two years, the friction between the two frontier armies has become more frequent, and there have been no less than a hundred small-scale conflicts." Situ Hao shook his head and said.

"You mean, Jin is deliberately provoking war?" Tie Jian asked in surprise.

In his opinion, the Vietnamese people are sturdy and the whole people are martial, but the Jin state is relatively leisurely and undisciplined.

"The Jin and Yue countries still don't see any troubles on the bright side, so when I tell you this, you can't believe it for a while. However, I believe that as long as I, the only spirit sword master in the Yue country, die, the balance between the two countries will change. It will be broken immediately, and then the war will break out." Situ Hao coughed twice and continued.

Although Tie Jian still found it inconceivable, he subconsciously already believed this matter. After all, he didn't believe that Situ Hao would use this matter to deceive him when he was about to die.

"Master, you told me these things, but what did you entrust to me?" Tie Jian asked.

"That's right. I want you to become the next Spirit Sword Master of the Yue Kingdom to maintain this balance and prevent the war between the two countries." Situ Hao said solemnly.

"Master, it's not that I shirk, but becoming a Spirit Sword Master is not something that can be achieved overnight. I'm afraid you think too highly of me." Tie Jian said with a wry smile.

"You are too humble...I have seen your sword-making talent at the sword-making conference, not to mention that you have a strange fire, and you are even more like a tiger's wings when it comes to sword-making. I always wanted to cultivate it. Shen Wen became my heir, but now it seems that you are the best choice." Situ Hao continued.

"I..." Tie Jian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Situ Hao waving his hand.

"I'm running out of time, cough...let me pick up some important things to talk about." His complexion began to turn from red to white, and he coughed.

Tie Jian heard the words, stopped talking, and waited quietly for Situ Hao to explain his funeral.

"Here is the sword refining experience I have summed up over the years, including the method of refining the spirit sword. After you take it back, you can use it as a reference. Ahem... This stone talisman is a token for entering the mysterious realm of Xuanyin. If you can get the chance to enter it, you will be able to see the legendary tablet of the gods outside the sky." Situ Hao took off the storage ring in his hand while speaking, and took out one from his arms. Hand the black stone rune to Tie Jian.

Tie Jian was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it.

At this moment, he only felt that his arms were heavy, as if he had taken over a mountain.

"The material of the stone rune is the same as that of the Outer God Monument. It can't, can't... be stored in the storage ring, you have to be careful..." Situ Hao urged.

"These things don't need to be handed over to Ling Lang Si Ran in vain?" Tie Jian asked.

"How many kilograms of my son... I know very well in my heart. These things... in his hands will only be buried, and even... will cause him to be killed. If you, if you... have the will, more in the future. Just take care of him." Situ Hao said intermittently as his vitality disappeared quickly.
