Free Web NovelAfter a violent tremor, a weapon resembling Erlang Shen's mountain-splitting axe rose from the ground. However, it had no handle, only the axe head.
The axe head was fan-shaped, with a broad and sharp blade, over eight meters wide. Its curved edge gleamed with a faint cold light, and its entire body was forged into a black-gold color, with a texture like bone and jade, making it quite mystical.
After erupting from the ground, it shot out several hundred meters like an arrow released from a bowstring, completely unaffected by the Bloodless Despair Abyss's anti-air rules.
But its swift, agile flight soon came to an abrupt halt.
It was as if bound by an invisible rope, forced to plummet downwards, only managing to stop at around a hundred meters, struggling against the savage pulling force!
Its position was directly above the Dunyit Space.
Everything happened in a flash.
"Holy moly!"
"Xiao Xi, did you really hit the nail on the head? Is this giant axe formed from Fei Min Ellis's remains?"
Chu Fengfeng was dragged around by Mingxi, but that didn't stop him from expressing his unparalleled astonishment. ƒrēewebnovel.com
At this moment, he had reason to believe that Xiao Xi was actually an omniscient and omnipotent god.
"I was just saying, a blind cat found a dead mouse," Mingxi said with emotion. She really was just guessing casually, never expecting things to turn out so perfectly.
Alas.
Life is as lonely as snow.
Although the commotion behind them was incredible, it didn't prevent them from quickly taking cover.
Fortunately, due to «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» the existence of the Dunyit Space, the underground fortress that the Di Gou Mole was searching for had intentionally deviated from that area, so the Cross Sky emergence of the giant axe did not affect the underground fortress, which was still under construction and improvement.
No, anything created under these circumstances definitely doesn't qualify as a fortress; at most, it's a small cellar equipped with various offensive and defensive functions.
At this point, Chu Fengfeng, who was nimbly leaping among the stone fragments and dust, looked at the even more agile Xiao Guniang ahead, wanting to speak, then stopping, then wanting to speak again.
It wasn't easy for Mingxi to feign blindness, so she asked, "Uncle, just say what you want to say. Don't be so wishy-washy like a man."
Chu Fengfeng: "..."
Why did that sound so strange?
Without thinking deeply, he said, "Xiao Xi, that axe head looks really good. Are we really going to let the Dunyi Tower swallow it?"
It was more than just good; it was excessively good.
Mingxi had already observed it with her spiritual power. The black-gold giant axe was covered in rule characters from the inside out, in large quantities and solidified, making it a top-grade rule artifact nurtured by rules.
She also noticed a rule character that appeared faintly among them. Just by its subtle yet undeniable presence, Mingxi was certain that this thing was very likely one of the three core rule characters.
As for what it was.
Unable to determine for now.
If there was anything wrong with this axe?
It was that it had no axe handle, so as an artifact, it was incomplete.
Even so, it still made people envious, their adrenaline surging and dopamine abnormally secreting.
But— freēwēbnovel.com
"I originally had a bit of a mind to get involved, but we're not here to stock up.
Besides, you saw that axe; it's just a bare axe body, without even a decent axe handle?
What's the deal with that?
Are we going to take this thing back and use it as a pickling stone for sauerkraut?
So, forget it. Even if we got something like this, it would just sit there as a decoration.
Besides, the Dunyi Tower isn't easy either, darting around and digging graves all over the world just for a bite to eat. Anyway, once it completely digests this axe, it'll still benefit Chiyu and Steel Cannon."
Mingxi's tone was lofty (not really).
Chu Fengfeng listened, utterly stunned.
"..."
Ming Xiao Xi, you dare to say such words, but why am I so afraid to hear them?
Meeting Xiao Guniang's twitching eyes, Chu Fengfeng suddenly understood and immediately caught on.
"...Hmm, you're right, this thing is indeed a bit unsightly and oddly shaped. Besides, it's not worth going against the Dunyi Tower for it."
Mingxi silently gave Chu Fengfeng a thumbs-up, then continued, "This thing clearly looks like a mere showpiece. I think those rumors about it splitting mountains are ninety-nine percent just someone's crazy delusion. Linglong Mountain has always looked like this. Look at its size; splitting mountains? It might not even be able to split firewood."
The two of them, like a comedy duo, nodded: "Reliable!"
"..."
In the corner of their shifty eyes, they clearly saw the giant axe, which was resisting the Dunyit Space's suction, tremble. Red demonic patterns appeared on its black-gold surface.
It seemed to be suppressing intense rage.
Yet, because it couldn't escape the Dunyit Space's suction, and its body had separated for some unspeakable reasons.
Currently, it could only rage impotently.
Oh, it couldn't even rage impotently.
The only thing it could do was, in a fit of rage, rage for a moment.
"Crack—Boom—"
The mountain walls on both sides where Mingxi and the two were located suddenly exploded.
Debris flew, and the viciousness of the scattered stones, almost lethal to the eyes, made Mingxi disbelieve that it didn't carry some 'personal' emotion.
She had no choice but to use a defensive artifact that Chiyu had supplemented and made for her a few days ago in the underground fortress, only then avoiding the fate of herself and Chu Fengfeng being riddled like a hornet's nest by the exploding debris.
Two pairs of dazed eyes widened, looking at the mountain wall, only to see a blood-red stick made of unknown material and a similarly blood-red whip, also made of unknown material, floating out from within the cracked mountain wall.
Chu Fengfeng: "Holy moly!!!!!!!!"
Mingxi: "Chongqing 11 Sights!"
As someone who understood artifacts and rule characters... only partially, Mingxi realized when she saw the axe body that although it was incomplete, it was also complete.
Ahem, that's a bit convoluted.
In short, this mountain-splitting axe appeared to be missing a part, but unlike the previous shen guan, its rule characters were not damaged.
Its rule characters were complete and neat, with clear extensions at the connections.
This indicated that it had only been disassembled, not damaged.
The axe body was forced to reappear in the world due to the Descent of the Dunyit Space, but its other parts were unaffected, which is why there was only an axe body and no axe handle.
Now the axe handle appeared.
The question was, what was with the extra whip?
An extra?
Mingxi soon understood what the extra was.
She saw the stick and the whip reluctantly float towards the axe.
They swayed hesitantly.
As if saying to the axe body, "My dear, for you, we have given up everything. You must not let us down."
The red patterns on the axe body's surface became even more vivid.
It was unclear if it was from anger, or from anger.
Its anger was useless.
The three of them quickly completed their combination. The stick was fine; it was simply a pure and unpretentious axe handle. And after the whip coiled around the axe handle, it then coiled itself into an exquisite and beautiful red rose, inlaid on the side of the axe body.
This made the originally domineering, sharp, and heaven-splitting axe body become delicate and pretty.
It was like Li Kui not only dressed in red and green but also had a matchmaker's mole dotted on his face.
