Chapter Sixteen: Heavy Sword in Hand

  Chen Yunfeng's toes touched the grass, his body arcing as he sprang up the mountain wall, following the divine eagle as it flapped its wings and leapt upwards. After rising for a distance, above was a sheer precipice;

  He looked around and saw small pits at intervals of several feet, his toes slightly touched these small pits, and his body jumped out like a ghost and climbed up the mountain wall.

  Upon arriving at the platform on the cliff, Chen Yunfeng saw the two big characters "Sword Tomb". He walked to a bluestone slab beside it and quietly looked at the words left by Dugu Qiubai, shaking his head and muttering:

  "Jianzhong... Jianmo Dugu Qiu Bai, having no enemies under heaven, buried his sword here. Alas! Heroes surrendered, long swords useless, is it not a pity?..."

  Alas, if Sword Demon were living in the world of Tian Long, he probably wouldn't be so lonely. Whether it's Xiao Feng, Duan Yu, Xuzhu, or even Qiu Mozhui's Flame Knife, they would all make him feel that there are many top-notch experts in the world.

  "If he were to fight against the strong men of Xīyángzi's generation, perhaps even when he reached the state of 'all things as swords', he would still have an even greater pursuit. And what about that unnamed sweeping monk from the Cángjīnggé? Could it be that the Jiǔyáng Zhēnjīng was passed down by him?"

  "Gugugu." The divine eagle also used its sharp claws to grab the small hole and jump up, seeing Chen Yunfeng looking at those texts it didn't understand. It continuously picked up the strips of stone on the ground with both paws and threw them aside. In a short while, three long swords of different styles appeared on the ground.

  The first long sword has been shining with a green light for many years, and a short introduction on the ground next to it indicates that this sword is also a rare treasure in the world. On the second position, there is only a piece of wood, which says that the Ziwei Soft Sword was thrown away after accidentally hurting a good person.

  The third position was the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, which was also the most important weapon Chen Yunfeng wanted to obtain. Looking at this sword, it didn't become a door plank in the hands of the director and screenwriter, he finally took a look at that wooden sword.

  Looking back at the Xuan Tie heavy sword, this heavy sword is no more than three fingers wide. The hilt and blade are all cast in one piece, which was something that Chen Yunfeng, who used to be a smelter, could recognize at a glance. And that so-called spherical sword head was just the casting port position after casting.

  "I'm impressed, it's actually a whole-body casting mold. Does this era already have this technology? But what exactly is this mysterious iron metal, how can something so small be even heavier than gold? Could it be meteoric iron from outer space?" Chen Yunfeng thought to himself after glancing at the records on the ground.

  In ancient times, there were more alchemists, and even gunpowder was made before the Han Dynasty. Many elixirs and synthetic substances had already appeared, and the technology for making high-level cold weapons was much stronger than later on. Who knows why it got worse and worse afterwards.

  "Ggg...". The divine eagle cried out for a while before directly picking up the heavy sword and gesturing to Chen Yunfeng to take it.

  Chen Yunfeng was not Yang Guo, he circulated his internal energy and grabbed the heavy sword with one hand, the 80-90 jin heavy sword was grasped in his hand, this was manageable, but this sword was not a lump of iron, holding it in his hand was feasible, wanting to swing it however was very inconvenient.

  "Ggg...” The divine eagle let out a low cry, flapping one wing as it charged forward. Chen Yunfeng exerted great effort to raise his heavy sword to block the attack, but the eagle's innate strength sent him stumbling backward several steps with just one flap of its wing. The true energy within his body churned violently, and he almost got blown off the cliff by the eagle's gust.

  "Hmm... Old Crane, this thing is light to carry, but it's a real hassle to swing around. I'm at a disadvantage compared to you, are you intentionally looking for trouble with me because I've been burning your feathers all this time?" Chen Yunfeng calmed his breathing and smoothed out the turbulent energy in his body before looking at the Divine Crane with a bitter expression.

  The divine eagle's single wing defeated Chen Yunfeng, and surprisingly, a hint of disdain flashed in its eyes. Just a few days ago, it had sparred with Chen Yunfeng, but was burned by his Nine Yang True Energy and Nine Yin White Bone Claw, losing a large patch of feathers from its wings. To make matters worse, the eagle didn't have many feathers to begin with, leaving it secretly brooding for the past few days.

  Chen Yunfeng, holding the heavy sword, was unable to draw it smoothly. He finally found an opportunity to regain his confidence. The divine eagle let out a low hum in its throat and jumped down to the grassy area at the foot of the mountain cliff, chirping away.

  "Alright, this old fellow won't stop until he's annoyed me to death. I'll just let him satisfy his ego for now." Chen Yunfeng said with a slight smile.

  He picked up the scattered stone slabs around him and restored the sword tomb to its original state, grabbed those stone caves and quickly went down to the foot of the mountain. Looking at the divine eagle that had long been prepared, Chen Yunfeng slightly raised his heavy sword and nodded slightly towards the divine eagle.

  The divine eagle let out a low hum in its throat and flapped one wing towards Chen Yunfeng. Chen Yunfeng had already suffered a great loss earlier, so he couldn't match the divine eagle's strength even if his true power was stronger. Now, he could only infuse his true energy to increase his force by about a thousand catties.

  This divine eagle's movements were often accompanied by several thousand catties of force. Chen Yunfeng's foot paused, his body shifted to one side, and he employed the Nine Yin Body Method to dodge to the other side. The divine eagle had fought with Chen Yunfeng multiple times before, so it was already aware of his strange movements.

  As soon as he saw Chen Yunfeng's body flashing, it jumped forward in one step, and its two wings flapped violently, bringing a huge gust of wind towards Chen Yunfeng.

  Chen Yunfeng's heavy sword tapped the ground, his heel exerted force, and his body, which had originally pounced towards the Divine Eagle, suddenly spun around on the spot and turned back. With the power of his spinning body, the heavy sword in his hand whooshed out and chopped towards the Divine Eagle.

  When people fight, they use their hands and feet. However, the divine eagle has not only its wings and two legs, but also a hard beak that is unmatched in strength. Just as Chen Yunfeng's heavy sword chopped towards it, the eagle's beak instantly pecked at the sword body.

  "Bang..."

  The divine eagle, with its natural instincts, pecked directly at the sword body with incredible speed and power. The massive force transmitted from the heavy sword once again into Chen Yunfeng's body, causing his hand to loosen its grip on the sword. His body flew out several meters along with the heavy sword under the impact of this pure and immense power.

  "Wow..."

  Chen Yunfeng spat out a mouthful of blood, which flew several meters away. He covered his chest and quickly sat down, as if he had been struck by an expert. The true energy inside him surged violently, causing his blood to churn. Fortunately, he managed to spit out the stagnant blood; otherwise, his meridians would have suffered severe damage.

  Quickly following the method of Nine Yin Healing Wounds, Chen Yunfeng stabilized his true energy and quickly entered a meditative state to begin healing his injuries. The divine eagle beside him didn't seem to care that he was injured, it hopped around, picked up the heavy sword in its beak and placed it next to Chen Yunfeng, then chirped and jumped towards the mountain cliff.

  The next morning, Chen Yunfeng finally recovered from his internal injuries. The efficacy of this Qi was originally inexplicable by science, let alone the fact that Chen Yunfeng's current cultivation of the Hunyuan Xiantian Yin-Yang technique actually used his own internal energy to heal his internal injuries. If Western doctors knew about this, they would definitely shout "pseudoscience" again.

  As soon as Chen Yunfeng opened his eyes, he saw the giant bald head of the Divine Eagle, and looking at the three curved Bodhi snake gallbladders in its mouth, he knew that this guy was also worried about his internal injuries.
