Inside the mysterious box was actually that sword!
The scabbard looked very ordinary. It was just a wooden scabbard, not gorgeous at all, and looked very simple and unsophisticated. When held in the hand, it gave a feeling of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit. The whole person seemed to become more ethereal in temperament, looking like an immortal with a refined demeanor.
Fang Lin slightly drew out the sword. It was still very ordinary. Unlike what he had imagined, when the sword was drawn out of the scabbard, there was no immediate scene of a dazzling cold light. Everything seemed very simple. It was just a sword that looked fairly good. The whole sword was brownish - black, with mysterious golden patterns engraved on it, which slightly showed the extraordinary nature of this sword.
Fang Lin was a bit disappointed at this moment. There were so many good things in this lottery draw. Why did he draw this sword!? He didn't know swordsmanship, so this sword was really a bit鸡肋. However, Fang Lin still patiently continued to observe the sword.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked. After looking, Fang Lin was really shocked, just because there were two characters engraved on the sword - "Zhanlu"!
Fang Lin was a liberal arts student in his previous life, so he had naturally come into contact with a lot of classical Chinese and had some understanding of this sword. Moreover, the fame of this sword was unimaginably great!
Not to mention the legendary Xuanyuan Sword, just from the perspective of the truly existing famous swords, Zhanlu ranked first!
At that time, King Yun Chang of Yue asked Ou Yezi, the number one swordsmith in the world, to forge a sword for him. After accepting the order, Ou Yezi, together with his wife Zhu Shi and daughter Mo Ye, came to Zhanlu Mountain. Here, they actually discovered the divine iron and holy water for sword forging. So, Ou Yezi settled down here, opened up the land and set up the furnace. It took him three years to create this peerless sword. Since it was forged on Zhanlu Mountain, it was named Zhanlu!
In that era, there were five great peerless swords, all forged by Ou Yezi. Among them, the fifth one was Juque, and the fourth one was Yuchang. This was the sword carried by the assassin who assassinated King Liao of Wu. At that time, it pierced through the shields of countless guards, but it only ranked fourth!
The third one was Shengxie, and the second one was Chunjun. It was said that when Chunjun was being forged, the Rain Master swept the ground, the Thunder God provided assistance, the flood dragon came to hold things, the Heavenly Emperor himself loaded the charcoal, and Donghuang Taiyi watched from the sky. You can see how powerful this sword was.
However, such a divine sword still only ranked second. The first one, naturally, was the leader of the five great peerless swords, Zhanlu!
It was said that when the King of Qin attacked the State of Chu, he proposed that if he was given Zhanlu, he would withdraw his troops. You can see how good the sword was. But even so, the King of Chu didn't agree!
Moreover, this sword later fell into the hands of Xue Rengui and then passed to Yue Fei.
Zhanlu was also known as the Sword of Benevolence. It was said to be like a pair of eyes, watching over the king. If the king was virtuous, with the sword by his side, the country would thrive!
And among the legendary Ten Divine Swords of the Yan and Huang Tribes, Zhanlu also ranked second, only second to the Xuanyuan Xiayu Sword, which had disappeared without a trace, that is, the Xuanyuan Sword!
Fang Lin was really excited at this moment. He didn't expect that he had actually misjudged it. The most precious thing turned out to be this sword. You know, no matter how magnificent the Zixiao Palace was, it was just a building and couldn't compare with this famous sword that symbolized the spirit of benevolence of the Yan and Huang Tribes!
Fang Lin took a deep breath. He didn't expect that he was actually qualified to be compared with Xue Rengui and Yue Fei and wear this Zhanlu Sword!
Fang Lin slightly shook his head. It seemed that he needed to pay attention to whether the system would offer swordsmanship techniques in the future. If there were no peerless swordsmanship techniques, it would really be a disgrace to this famous sword.
Fang Lin stroked the sword and thought in his heart. He wondered if there were the Heaven - Piercing Sword, the Dragon - Slaying Saber, or Yang Guo's Heavy Xuan Iron Sword in this world. If there were, he would like to try whether they could withstand the power of a strike from his Zhanlu Sword!
After dawn, Fang Lin got up early and came to the back mountain. He wanted to test how powerful this famous sword was.
When he came to the back mountain, Fang Lin looked around and found a big tree as thick as a water bucket. Fang Lin didn't use his internal energy and directly swung the sword. There was no resistance in his hand at all. It was just like cutting tofu. The big tree fell down directly, causing a rumbling sound.
Fang Lin took a deep breath. Was this the power of a divine sword? With it, as long as he learned a set of swordsmanship techniques, his strength would definitely rise by two levels again. And when fighting, he would definitely look very handsome. Fang Lin fantasized about it.
Next, it was a stone. With one strike of the sword, it was broken! Then Fang Lin took out a silver ingot. With one strike of the sword, it was broken! Fang Lin gritted his teeth and took out a gold ingot. This was a bit wasteful, but still, with one strike of the sword, it was broken!
Fang Lin really couldn't believe it at this moment and shouted, "What on earth can withstand the power of a strike from this sword?"
Pangdun's voice came from the system, "You really underestimate this martial world."
Fang Lin became interested. Was there really something that could withstand the Zhanlu, the leader of the five great peerless swords?
Pangdun said, "I'm actually a guide in this game. I still have the ability to answer this question of yours."
Fang Lin quickly asked.
Pangdun paused and said, "As far as I know, there are indeed the Heaven - Piercing Sword and the Dragon - Slaying Saber in the martial world. The Heaven - Piercing Sword and the Dragon - Slaying Saber are basically the most powerful divine weapons in the current world."
Fang Lin became interested. If there were really the Heaven - Piercing Sword and the Dragon - Slaying Saber, then the peerless divine weapons in Jin Yong's novels existed. What about those in Gu Long's novels?
Pangdun thought for a while and said, "The Li Family's Flying Dagger seems to exist too, but I don't know if it has been lost. As for the Peacock Feather, this number one hidden weapon in the world really exists. And there is no Tianya Mingyue Dao."
Fang Lin was really curious now. He hoped to encounter these treasures and then try to see whether the Zhanlu was stronger or those treasures were stronger.
Pangdun said angrily, "Come on! With your strength at the Mid - Stage of the Mortal Realm, as soon as they release their sword qi, you'll fall. Even if you have the treasures, you need to have the strength to use them."
Fang Lin didn't have that ambition anymore. He was just at the Mid - Stage of the Mortal Realm. Those who could possess these treasures must definitely be first - class powerful people in the current world. Isn't that how it is in the books? Abbess Miejue, Yang Guo, Xie Xun, which one wasn't a very powerful existence? At this moment, he was just a nobody in the martial world, not even ranking in Danjiang County.
Fang Lin slowly walked back to the Wudang Sect to check on the development of the Wudang Sect.
As soon as he returned to the Wudang Sect, it seemed that something had happened. A group of bandits rushed in. Tianlin Stockade? Were they here for revenge because he had saved Long Yang?
Fang Lin sneered slightly and looked at the ten leading big men. Chen Xiong was following behind. It seemed that Chen Xiong, the fourth leader, was not as powerful as that big man. I wonder if this person was the third leader, the second leader, or the great leader, the leader of Tianlin Stockade?
Pangdun told Fang Lin that among these more than ten people, five were at the Early Stage of the Mortal Realm, three were at the Mid - Stage, Chen Xiong was at the Late Stage of the Mortal Realm, and the one in the front was at the peak of the Late Stage of the Mortal Realm.
Fang Lin calculated slightly. The Wudang Sect should be able to deal with them. A cold light flashed in Fang Lin's eyes. They dared to cause trouble in my Wudang Sect. I'll just use you to test my sword!
