Gu Long's Martial Arts World: Starting with the Invincible Demon Blade

When Xue Bufeng handed the Fish Intestine Sword to Ding Baiyun, everyone was stunned.

No one expected him to do this so suddenly.

No one expected that he would suddenly give away the Fish Intestine Sword, a martial arts treasure.

Even Ding Baiyun was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing across his cool eyes.

"There were some ignorant scoundrels causing trouble at Wanmatang before, but thanks to Miss Ding's intervention, I was spared from getting tainted."

Xue Bufeng looked at her:

"I'll give this sword to you as a token of my gratitude. Not many people in the world know about this, so it shouldn't be considered a trouble for you, Miss Ding."

Ding Baiyun's usually icy face was suddenly moved.

Born into a family of martial arts practitioners, she had been exposed to the affairs of the martial arts world since childhood and naturally knew the value of the Fish Intestine Sword.

Let alone the Ding family, there are probably very few people in the entire martial arts world who could remain unmoved by this sword.

She never expected that Xue Bufeng would so easily give her such a priceless treasure.

The turmoil in her heart was almost comparable to that of a young woman on the eve of her wedding, but she still tried her best to maintain that aloof and cold demeanor, with only a very faint blush appearing at the base of her ears.

She remained silent for a moment, without feigning refusal, and reached out to take the Fish Intestine Sword.

It should have been cold to the touch, but it still retained the warmth of Xue Bufeng's palm.

She looked up, meeting Xue Bufeng's smiling gaze, and softly uttered four words:

"It's nothing to worry about."

Although his voice was soft, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

That moment was like an iceberg melting slightly, or spring snow clearing after a storm; it was breathtakingly beautiful.

Everyone witnessed this scene.

The Bai brothers exchanged a knowing glance with Madam Bai, a smile playing on their lips.

Thousand-Handed Rakshasa crossed her arms, her beautiful face expressionless, but her gaze swept over Fish Intestine Sword and Ding Baiyun's faces, and she let out a soft hum.

He was probably thinking to himself: "I still have the Golden Silk Armor, what's so special about the Fish Intestine Sword? What's there to be so smug about?"

Hua Baifeng, who had nothing in her hands, pouted, clearly unhappy, and tugged at Xue Bufeng's sleeve, shaking it: "Senior brother is biased! I want some too! Why only give it to her? I want a treasure like the Fish Intestine Sword too!"

I can't forget you.

Xue Bufeng reached out and ruffled her hair, then turned to Yuanyuan and said:

"Go to the carriage and retrieve that black box."

Yuan Yuan immediately responded, went to the carriage, and after rummaging around for a moment, she indeed brought out a black wooden box about a foot square, which was quite similar in style to the sword box that had just contained the Fish Intestine Sword.

Everyone's attention was once again drawn to it.

The Fish Intestine Sword had already surprised everyone, but there were other things in the carriage that could be compared to it.

What could it be?

Under the watchful eyes of countless curious and expectant gazes, Xue Bufeng gestured for Yuanyuan to place the wooden box on a flat stone platform to the side.

"Open it, but be careful not to hurt yourself."

He gave the order.

Yuan Yuan did as instructed and carefully opened the box lid.

The box was lined with black velvet, and on the velvet lay a blue iron hand.

The gloves appeared to be woven from metal and strange leather, with a dark, somber blue color throughout. They gleamed with a cold, eerie blue luster in the sunlight, as if they had been tempered with countless deadly poisons. Just looking at them for a few moments would make one's eyes sting and one's skin go numb.

The gloves are further decorated with menacing barbs at the knuckles, with sharp, hook-like tips, resembling the hands of the most vicious devils who have crawled out of hell.

"This is……"

As always, Bai Tianyong, who was more experienced and knowledgeable, was the first to show a change in expression.

He was amazed when he first saw the famous swordfish intestine.

So when he saw this object, he was undoubtedly horrified.

Not just him.

Almost everyone present, especially those with a bit of knowledge, would recognize this object!

Although this item cannot compare to the Fish Intestine Sword in terms of its historical significance, the fame of a person or thing is not necessarily determined by its past reputation, and what is popular now may not be less popular than before.

"This is the Azure Demon Hand!"

Bai Tianyong spoke in a low, incredulous voice, enunciating each word clearly: "The Azure Demon Hand, ranked ninth on the Weapon Ranking!"

Those around them were also surprised.

The Azure Demon Hand is Yi Ku's most precious treasure. It was forged from the finest gold and iron, tempered with a hundred poisons, and took seven years to complete.

This treasure is so precious that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's her lifeblood.

How did I end up here?

But upon closer inspection, it's not surprising at all.

Even the Fish Intestine Sword has appeared, so what does it matter if another Azure Demon Hand appears?

Moreover, it was Xue Bufu who obtained this treasure.

Hua Baifeng had lived outside the Great Wall for a long time. Although she did not understand the terror and bloodshed that the Azure Demon Hand meant in the martial arts world, seeing everyone's reaction, she knew that it must be an extraordinary treasure. With a cheer, she reached out and took out the blue glove, putting it on her left hand.

Gloves are inanimate objects, and it is impossible for them to fit every individual perfectly during the casting process.

But no one knows what method Yi Ku used when she forged the Azure Demon Hand back then. It seemed to have a spirit and automatically contracted and adhered to it, wrapping her slender, fair hands tightly. The azure color formed an eerie contrast with her pale yellow shirt.

"Senior brother! It's so beautiful! Is it called the Azure Demon Hand?"

Hua Baifeng raised her left hand and looked curiously at the sunlight. The blue light on the glove flowed, making her pretty face appear with an eerie blue hue.

The Bai brothers and Madam Bai were watching with concern, worried that the clever and mischievous Hua Baifeng might accidentally be injured by the Green Demon Hand.

That's just overthinking it.

Hua Baifeng only appeared harmless to Xue Bufeng.

After all, she came from a demonic sect and had been proficient in thousands of ways to kill since childhood. She could also identify all kinds of poisons in the world and had countless lives on her hands. What poison could possibly harm her?

"Azure Demon Hand".

Xue Bufeng spoke in a calm tone, as if introducing an ordinary toy:

"The weapon of Yi Ku, the ninth master on the Weapon Ranking, is extremely poisonous and vicious. If you encounter someone, you only need to take it out and wave it in front of them, and that will be enough to scare them out of their wits. Even though there is only one, it is enough for you to play with. I will ask you for another one another day."

He spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about something extremely ordinary.

Clearly, they didn't take Yi Ku, the true owner of the Azure Demon Hand, seriously.

"Thank you, senior!"

Hua Baifeng was overjoyed, playing with the object with obvious delight, completely unaware of the complex gazes of the people around her.

A fish-gut sword, a green demon hand.

These extraordinary treasures, any one of which would have caused a huge uproar in the martial arts world, were given away by Xue Bufeng so casually!

This skillful handwriting, this casualness, this unfathomable depth of knowledge even surprised Bai Tianyu, who wondered in his heart just who Xue Bufeng was.

That's right, Bai Tianyu never asked Xue Bufu about his background from beginning to end.

Because he also followed Li Xunhuan's philosophy: as long as you get along well and find someone pleasing to the eye, why bother about who they are?

Xue Bufeng turned around and cupped his hands to Bai Tianyu and his brother:

"I apologize for the inconvenience."

Bai Tianyu smiled and said, "Brother Xue, where do you intend to go? Why not stay in the border town for a few more days so I can show you some hospitality?"

"The martial world urges us on."

Xue Bufeng smiled as well:

"I've heard that a Plum Blossom Thief has recently appeared in the Central Plains, causing quite a stir with a hefty reward offered, and the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world is waiting to be married. Wouldn't it be a shame to miss such a spectacle? If the beauty ends up being taken by someone else, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Bai Tianyu laughed and didn't insist on keeping him any longer.

"In that case, I can only wish Brother Xue a safe journey and great success! May you marry the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world. If you ever pass through the border town in the future, don't forget that the Divine Blade Hall will always have a cup of wine for you!"

At this point, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Ding Baiyun.
