The killing intent was overwhelming, chilling to the bone. Everyone in the room felt their hair stand on end in an instant.
This killing intent posed a strong threat to them.
“What happened?”
Xiao Zhan’s face changed drastically.
“Let’s go check.” Ye Qiu said, leading everyone quickly out of the room. They saw Huzi standing at the entrance of the third room, his expression grave.
The fire lion was crouching not far away, looking at the room’s entrance with fear.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Qiu asked.
“There is something inside with intense killing intent.” Huzi said.
Ye Qiu looked up and saw that the third room also contained a table, with a rectangular wooden box on it.
The box was about four or five metres long, black as ink.
“Looks like there is something good in that box.” Longbrow Zhenren’s eyes gleamed, and he said, “Huzi, step aside, let me take a look.”
With that, Longbrow Zhenren moved to enter the room.
As soon as he stepped one foot inside, Huzi grabbed his shoulder.
“Huzi, what are you doing?” Longbrow Zhenren asked, turning back.
“The thing inside is mine.” Huzi said.
“What a joke, the things here are ownerless. Is your name written on it? How is it yours?” Longbrow Zhenren said, “The little brat said, treasures belong to the capable.”
Huzi said, “Anyway, I have my eye on that thing inside. Whoever tries to take it, I will beat them up.”
“You think I am afraid of you…” Before Longbrow Zhenren could finish, he saw rolling black mist emanating from Huzi and quickly grinned cheekily, “Haha, I was just joking with you, why take it seriously?”
“I have always acted uprightly in my life, how could I snatch treasure from a junior? Since you discovered this room, the treasure naturally belongs to you.”
“But Huzi, if you cannot obtain this treasure, then I will not hold back.”
“This treasure is definitely mine, Master, you all step back.” Huzi said, striding into the room.
“Be careful.” Ye Qiu cautioned.
Huzi nodded slightly, walked to the table, took a deep breath, and then carefully opened the wooden box.
As soon as a crack appeared in the box, a chilling killing intent surged out.
The temperature at the scene instantly dropped to freezing.
“Clang!”
Huzi flung open the lid, and the next second, a red dragon-patterned spear appeared in everyone’s view.
Intense killing intent emanated from the dragon-patterned spear.
“A peerless murderous weapon!” Longbrow Zhenren’s eyes narrowed, his expression turning serious.
Huzi reached out, grabbing for the dragon-patterned spear. Just as he was about to grasp it, something unexpected happened.
“Swish!”
The dragon-patterned spear suddenly moved, thrusting towards Huzi’s forehead, as if wielded by someone.
Its speed was incredibly fast.
Huzi tilted his head, quickly dodging the spear’s attack, then shifted his body, grabbing the dragon-patterned spear in his hand.
The spear seemed unwilling to be held, struggling fiercely, releasing waves of almost tangible killing intent.
In an instant, Huzi’s palm split open, black blood dripping out.
“Swish!”
After breaking free from Huzi’s grip, the dragon-patterned spear attacked him again.
This spear seemed to possess a spirit, extremely sharp. Each thrust left a hole in the air.
Soon, the entire room was filled with dense spear shadows. Most terrifyingly, as these shadows appeared, a thick smell of blood filled the room, as if it were a sea of corpses and blood.
Huzi kept striking with both fists, clashing head-on with the dragon-patterned spear.
Each clash sent sparks flying.
The sound of collisions was incessant.
“This spear has killed many people before.” Ye Qiu stood at the door, somewhat shaken.
“The world is vast, full of wonders. A murderous weapon that can attack on its own, unbelievable.” Chongxu Daoist said solemnly.
He could tell this dragon-patterned spear was extraordinary. Even he would likely be pierced full of holes if facing it.
The others’ faces were grave.
“Clang, clang, clang!”
Huzi threw over three hundred punches in one breath, barely blocking the dragon-patterned spear’s attacks.
However, the spear seemed tireless, continuing to attack Huzi, its speed increasing, its sharpness growing stronger.
Not long after.
“Pfft!”
A blood hole appeared on Huzi’s arm, followed by a spray of blood from his shoulder.
In just a moment.
Huzi’s body had at least a dozen blood holes, the black blood startling to behold.
“Huzi, come out, I will deal with it.” Ye Qiu said.
“No need, I can handle it.” Huzi said, his eyes suddenly turning crimson, like an enraged lion.
Boom!
Huzi fully erupted, moving at high speed, his right hand swiftly grabbing the dragon-patterned spear, then his left fist smashing fiercely onto it.
The spear took Huzi’s punch without damage, continuing to struggle in his grip.
Huzi’s palm was pierced again by the killing intent, black blood flowing out.
This time, Huzi did not let the spear break free, gripping it tightly.
“Behave yourself.”
Huzi roared, his fists relentlessly pounding the dragon-patterned spear.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Huzi smashed over a hundred punches, and finally, the dragon-patterned spear stopped struggling.
“From now on, you belong to me. Dare to resist, and I will destroy you.”
Huzi threw a harsh warning at the spear, then examined it closely.
He noticed that, besides the dragon patterns covering the spear, there were also a few tiny seal characters engraved on it.
Huzi did not recognize seal script, so he turned and walked to Ye Qiu, asking, “Master, what does it say?”
“Let me see.” Longbrow Zhenren leaned forward, glanced at it, and read aloud.
“Soul-Devouring Spear, a legendary murderous weapon, forged from extraterrestrial meteoric iron, one zhang, two chi, three cun long, weighing three thousand six hundred jin.”
Shock appeared on everyone’s faces.
This spear is that heavy?
Huzi said, “This spear is indeed quite heavy, just right for me. I feel it suits me better than the battle axe I destroyed before.”
Ye Qiu reminded, “Keep it safe, but remember, this is a murderous weapon. Use it sparingly in the future.”
“Mm.” Huzi nodded.
Afterwards, Ye Qiu led everyone to the door of the fourth room.
Ye Qiu did not push the door open immediately but said, “Among us, everyone except Senior Chongxu has gained their opportunity.”
“As agreed, whatever treasure is in this room, Senior Chongxu gets to choose first.”
“Old thing, any objections?”
“I have no objections.” Longbrow Zhenren said, then glared, “Little brat, what do you mean, singling me out among so many people? Do you think I am a greedy person in your heart?”
“Are you not?” Ye Qiu sneered and pushed open the door.
