Destiny is ashes

Chapter 84 Return to Huaixu Realm (Thanks to Othinus One-Eyed Princess's Silver Alliance for extra updates)

The Chongming Sword Box was successfully cracked without any problems, which was naturally good news for An Jing.

Although An Jing also purchased the Icefall Rifle and gained long-range attack capabilities, one can never have too many such means and trump cards.

Taking the cracked Chongming sword box from Tie Shou, An Jing felt a sense of closeness to the sword box that he had never felt before... It was like a mobile phone that was originally locked to the user, but suddenly no longer required a password or fingerprint authentication.

"Use your energy to imprint it on the core, and you will be able to control it."

During this day and night, Tie Shou did not rest, but was busy cracking the military core of the sword box.

Apart from this, he did a lot of other things, but seeing his mysterious look, An Jing didn't try to spy on him - curiosity has to be used in the right place.

After a whole day, Tieshou was not tired at all. Instead, he was quite excited. He even took An Jing outside to test the power of the sword box.

An Jing had no objection, so he took the newly purchased 'spiritual energy furnace' and came to the outside of the recycling hut.

The spiritual energy furnace is actually a small furnace the size of two fists, which looks like an hourglass and a bit like an alchemy furnace. It is blue and black in alternating colors and is made of spiritual steel. There is a white fluorescent stone at the core, which shows the number 99%, representing the remaining spiritual energy inside.

The brand of this spiritual energy furnace is [Jiudi], a small company under Shouyangshan Group that specializes in spiritual energy furnaces.

The spiritual energy furnace is essentially an energy source specifically used to activate various magical instruments. It allows ordinary cultivators with low cultivation to activate some powerful magical instruments, or maintain some defensive formations around the clock.

The Jiudi Spiritual Furnace is a very classic-designed spiritual furnace. It is charged through artificial spiritual veins and is compatible with most magical instruments, including the sword box.

An Jing connected it with the Chongming Sword Box, and then used his own energy to imprint the sword box and control the operation program. He immediately felt that the control of the sword box was as easy as using his own arms, and a circle of light white magic appeared in his eyes, similar to an aiming lens.

"That is the automatic aiming formation of the sword box. Link the formation with the target, then activate the spiritual energy furnace to launch the flying sword, and the flying sword will fly towards the target aimed by the formation."

Tie Shou guided An Jing to aim at the target on top of the garbage mountain. He reminded him, "Don't worry about whether you are aiming or not. As long as the magic circle is still locked, the flying sword will continue to fine-tune its trajectory to hit the target. This is why the sword box is more convenient than a musket. Although it consumes a lot of spiritual power, it is very convenient and comfortable to use!"

"An Jing! This new era flying sword is really interesting!"

At the same time, in the peaceful sea of ​​consciousness, the sword spirit also cheered and said: "I sensed it, this is a brand new flying sword... I can also add my power to this sword box, making it more powerful, sharper, and more accurate!"

"That's a good feeling."

This was the first magical weapon that An Jing had controlled. He had a whole new sense of novelty at this moment. Now, the young man was holding a heavy sword box that looked like a launch track in his hand. He was aligning the aiming formation in his eyes with a target the size of a grain of rice on the garbage mountain, and then locking the aim with his energy.

The next moment, he activated the spiritual energy furnace.

hum!
The milky white spirit crystal glowed instantly, and the small flying sword in the acceleration track accelerated to the speed of thunder in an instant. A light white sword light with a slight arc flashed, and the target on the garbage mountain exploded, turning into flying ashes all over the sky.

"This is it!"

Seeing such power, An Jing was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was filled with joy - such power was worthy of being a military sword box, and ordinary internal energy warriors could not stop it at all!
Even if one's internal energy is at its peak, even a strong warrior would have to be fully alert to block it!
But his target, the scholar in white, although he had destiny and some secret skills, his strength should be just his internal energy.

But even if one is strong, if he is attacked when he is not paying attention, there is a high probability that he will be killed instantly!

"This power..."

Even Tie Shou, who was observing from the side, was stunned. Of course he knew the power of the sword case. He had seen many military sword cases, but for some reason, the sword case in An Jing's hand seemed to be more powerful?
——Could it be a high-quality sword case specially provided by Luofu Group? But when I cracked it, I didn’t find any difference from other military sword cases… Only the direct military core was somewhat useful.

Tie Shou was quite confused. In his imagination, the target with two layers of scrap iron armor could be penetrated. It would be good to make a big hole, but it was completely blown up by the flying sword bullet...

Is the target corroded by acid rain?
However, An Jing also discovered that the reserve of the spiritual energy furnace had dropped from 99% to 72%.

A single launch used up 27% of the reserve energy, which meant that a medium-level spiritual energy furnace could only launch three flying sword bullets at a time, while a low-level spiritual energy furnace could only launch two bullets at most. I'm afraid An Jing would have to fill some of it himself.

"Military sword boxes are big soul swallowers. A normal sword box can fire four or five times."

Tie Shou also saw the energy level of the spiritual energy furnace decline and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

The total energy contained in a medium-sized spiritual energy furnace is approximately equal to the total energy of a cultivator with great vitality. However, humans are not like spiritual energy furnaces. Using up all the vitality will cause damage to the body. The vitality that can be mobilized in normal combat is only about 70% of the total vitality.

For a cultivator like An Jing, whose energy is as strong as a river, being able to use a military sword box with all his strength can be considered a solid foundation.

Therefore, only the employees of wealthy large companies can afford this kind of military magic weapon.

It is precisely because the sword box consumes too much spiritual energy that there is room for the development of gunpowder weapons.

An Jing didn't care much.

In the Huaixu Realm, three flying swords can accomplish a lot of things.

Moreover, he also discovered the wonderful uses of military cores.

The automatic guidance system of the Chongming Sword Box is just like a lock and a magic bullet, which is far more powerful than the Hawkeye Sword Box. The algorithm and the coordination of various formations are the real value of the magic weapon core. However, this should not be the reason why Tie Shou wants to crack the Luofu military core.

"Thank you very much, Boss Tieshou."

After the test, An Jing sincerely thanked Tie Shou, and the tall man smiled confidently and said, "It seems that there is no problem with my craftsmanship. If your tribe can find similar military magic weapons next time, you can give them to me."

"So what are you going to do next? Little brother, to be honest, the city has not been very peaceful recently. I suggest you wait for a while before entering the city."

The two chatted and returned to the recycling hut, and Boss Tieshou handed An Jing a translucent card and a rectangular token about the size of a thumb. "The translucent one is the entry permit. When the inspection comes, activate it. Put your energy into it, and it will be yours."

"The token is a black market token. If they ask for an introduction, tell them my name, Zhang Gu, the Iron Hand."

Tieshou could also see that An Jing was planning to leave.

This mysterious boy from the wilderness appeared silently, and then left silently, just like many people who wanted to go to Xuanye City.

An Jing also sorted out his current equipment.

Chongming sword box, twelve flying sword bullets.

Icefall rifle, thirty-six special bullets.

Two gunpowder pistols and eight magazines.

A Nine Earth Spiritual Energy Furnace.

Eight cans of compressed meat.

Five defensive lightning beads.

Sacrifice a jade dagger.

A set of bulletproof raincoat and bamboo hat.

Two Qi-boosting pills.

One spiritual jade. One empty spiritual jade.

A fine retractable spear derived from a big spear.

In addition, An Jing also has some miscellaneous equipment such as knives, but that’s not much to say.

Judging from the oldness of An Jing's bag, it was most likely taken from a dead person. Tieshou also gave An Jing a sturdy off-road bag and equipment buckles so that he could put all his things safely in it and hang them on his body.

Now, An Jing is about to leave, and Tie Shou is about to visit the leader of the Day Tiger Gang with the spear whose power has been destroyed.

Huo Qing, who was theoretically dead, had to stay behind to guard the door - he no longer existed in name, and he might even have to replace his chip in the future.

Before changing the chip, he had to stay in the recycling hut and study hard.

"Brother An, you said I had repaid you for saving my life, but you saved my life again later."

When An Jing filled the spiritual furnace with energy and was ready to leave, Huo Qing, who was already penniless, could only hold An Jing's hand to express his gratitude: "I am grateful for your kindness. If you have any instructions in the future, just tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely not frown at all!"

"You kid, you have no right to say that!" Tie Shou hit Huo Qing on the back of his head, but the force was very light.

The fact that Huo Qing dared to say such things, dared to take the initiative to promise something and wanted to do something proved that his character had begun to change, which made him feel relieved.

"Then I will take note of it without hesitation."

And An Jing did not look down on this young former gang accountant - after two days, the black spots on his forehead and the dark aura lingering on his face had disappeared.

Perhaps just as the sword spirit said, An Jing has completely changed his future destiny... Today's Huo Qing has been reborn in terms of destiny and luck, and has become a completely different person.

With his help, An Jing's destiny was also slightly improved.

After waving goodbye to the two, An Jing left the recycling hut and disappeared among the debris in the garbage dump.

Tie Shou and Huo Qing also began to prepare for the next deal with the Day Tiger Gang - even if the possibility of a breakdown in the negotiations was very low, there was still a possibility of a breakdown in the negotiations. Tie Shou had been able to stand firm in Fuchenyuan for so many years because of luck and caution.

No one knows exactly when An Jing disappeared.

Silently, he left this world and returned to Huaixu.
