Chapter 823: Phantom Dance.
Facing the ridicule around her, Gui was furious and strode towards the three-pointed double-edged dagger. Without saying anything, she picked up the dagger that was about 1.8 meters long, and easily held it in her hand.
All the jeers instantly stopped, and everyone looked at the stage in stunned amazement.
“How did that happen? How is that possible?”
“The dagger is the heaviest one among the four armaments, weighing more than 3,600 kilograms. How can a woman with no cultivation pick it up?”
“God, what did I see? What’s going on?”
No one believed what their eyes were seeing. The mockery that they threw at Gui seemed to turn into invisible hands smacking their faces. Their cheeks felt swollen and hot.
Mr. Rudd was equally surprised. He couldn’t help but guess in his heart: Is this girl born with divine power?
He then shouted to Gui on the stage, “Girl, try to wield the three-pointed double-edged dagger!”
Though, he really didn’t need to say it out loud as Gui intended to do so from the beginning. She waved the dagger randomly and although it was disorderly, the dagger weighing more than 3,600 catties brewed gusts of wind. With the swinging of Gui, the dagger soon formed a tornado as wind howled like a beast. Those who had low Cultivation and were close to the platform, were immediately affected by the strong wind!
As for the dwarf elders sitting on the platform, although their bodies are motionless, their white hairs were also being blown by the wind and they were wearing shocked expressions.
As the wind swept, the whole square seemed to be in turmoil…
“This smelly wench can easily wield with the dagger? Is her strength that great?!” The man who was previously beaten by Gui asked with a face full of fear.
Chen Feng also couldn’t say anything. His throat was dry. Gui was far more powerful than he expected.
At this time, Gui stopped.
“This is not fun, not fun at all!”
Gui has no interest in the three-pointed double-edged dagger. She then casually tossed the dagger on the platform. It landed with a loud bang and scattering rubble, the platform made of granite collapsed. The tip of the dagger had created a deep pit on the platform. Countless cobweb-like cracks spread outward from the deep pit.
“Here, I’ll give this back to you!”
She then threw the three-pointed double-edged dagger at the grumpy dwarf elder.
The grumpy dwarf elder had unfathomable strength and he caught it from a distance. The heavy dagger simply floated in the palm of his hand.
At this moment, the people in the square look at Gui in a very different way. Now, they were gazing at her as if she was some high-ranking official, their eyes full of awe.
“Seeing the little girl in the limelight really tempts me to also go up and stun them with my skills.” The Duck Emperor was eager to make a move. He couldn’t wait to gain some attention.
Though, such a thought only made Xiao Luo whack him in the back of the head, “Stop inflating your own ego. Besides speed, what else can you do?”
“I…”
The Duck Emperor wanted to argue but he realized that Xiao Luo was stating the truth. Since that was the case, he complained instead, “Gai~ boy, can you stop exposing this duck all the time and give me some dignity? I have experienced life and death with you. I have worked hard but you give me no credit. Will you die if you give me some face?”
Xiao Luo only gave him a look and was too lazy to debate this nonsense.
“Little girl, please stay!”
When Gui was about to return to Xiao Luo, Mr. Rudd blocked her with a smile on his face.
“Why? Is there anything else?” Gui didn’t have a good impression on Mr. Rudd. After all, this old man was one of those who laughed at her just now.
“Miss is born with divine power and opened the eyes of this old man. Dare I ask Miss a question, why do you always hold an umbrella?” Mr. Rudd asked.
Gui simply: “Because I hate sunshine.”
“So that’s it.”
Mr. Rudd nodded. “Then Miss must love umbrellas. Among the next two Heaven Grade armaments, one of them is an umbrella, you could try to test your luck with it.”
An umbrella?
Gui frowned, not quite understanding what Mr. Rudd just said.
Discussion was also brewing around as people talked about what kind of armament an “umbrella” would be.
Mr. Rudd didn’t give any more suspense and with a wave of his hand, two dwarves took out a black umbrella from a big box and respectfully presented it to Mr. Rudd.
This… is a Heaven Grade armament?
People were puzzled, this umbrella looked too ordinary. It looks just like the same umbrella that one would use to keep out sunshine and heavy rain.
Mr. Rudd then opened the umbrella.
The outer surface was black while the inner surface was red, the handle was also red. The handle was a cylinder with blooming flowers carved on its surface.
At first glance, Gui immediately fell in love with this umbrella. Her almond eyes shone brightly.
“Do you like it?” Mr. Rudd asked cheerfully, like a lecherous old man who was tempting a young girl with candy.
Gui nodded like a chicken pecking rice, “Hmm… Hmm…”
“If you bring out its full power, this old man will give it to you.” Mr. Rudd said.
“Okay.” Gui immediately took the umbrella and was ready to wield it the same way she did with the three-pointed double-edged dagger.
“Wait, it’s not too late to try later after listening to this old man introduce some relevant information.”
Mr. Rudd pointed to a flower on the handle of the umbrella. “This is a Red Spider Lily. It is said that the Red Spider Lily is the flower on the road to death. The meaning on why it is engraved on this armament should be obvious. This is the umbrella of death. Its name is Phantom Dance.”
“Phantom Dance?” Gui repeated.
Mr. Rudd nodded and continued, “Phantom Dance is a high armament of defense. It is invulnerable to fire and water and the umbrella’s edge is sharper than a sharp sword. You could easily kill people just by turning the umbrella gently. The most important feature of Phantom Dance is that it can transform the True Essence into a powerful energy bullet that could be shot from the umbrella’s tip.”
When introducing the Phantom Dance, Mr. Rudd also explained its functions in actual combat.
The surface of Phantom Dance looked like it was made of ordinary material, but it was actually invulnerable to swords and arrows. It could even repel flames of fires. The edge of the umbrella could easily slice through an iron rod as if it was mud. As for the energy bullet thing, Mr. Rudd personally tested it. He injected True Force into it and then used the Phantom Dance to shoot it out.
[Whoosh~]
The energy bullet scattered with golden light hit a thick wall on the edge of the square like a flash of lightning. With a loud bang, the bullet instantly shattered the thick wall.
