I forged swords at Lingjian Mountain.

Yunshui City is a larger city than Huanfeng City.

Although there are many ways to sell swords here, it's actually harder to sell swords like the [Azure Pattern Sword] forged by Lin Yue.

On the one hand, the [Azure Pattern Sword] is just a common weapon, which can be bought in almost any weapon shop.

On the other hand, there are many more swordsmiths of Lin Yue's caliber in Yunshui City.

The Azure Pattern Sword he forged is worthless here; even if it were sold, the price would be driven down significantly.

Therefore, Lin Yue would never come here to sell swords.

After Lin Kong arrived in Yunshui City.

They did not go to weapon shops, merchant guilds, or sects to sell their weapons.

He first used a robe illustration he casually unlocked along the way to forge a black robe that covered his entire body, concealing his appearance.

Then, they arrived at the bustling market in Yunshui City, found a spot, sat down, and arranged fourteen [Azure Pattern Swords] in front of them, along with a sign that read five large characters—

The strongest Azure Pattern Sword!

This immediately attracted the attention of many passersby.

The Blue Pattern Sword is common.

But they had never seen anyone dare to claim that their [Azure Pattern Sword] was the strongest.

While many felt that Lin Kong was being too arrogant, they couldn't help but become curious about his Azure Pattern Sword.

I want to see where he gets the confidence to call himself the strongest.

"The strongest Azure Pattern Sword? What arrogance!"

A man wearing a straw hat and carrying a sword, dressed like a swordsman, stood in front of Lin Kong.

"What proof do you have that your [Azure Pattern Sword] is the strongest?"

Lin Kong glanced at the man.

As the other party approaches.

A completely gray illustration quickly popped up in front of him.

[A new illustration of a Zanpakuto has been found in the Pokédex!]

[Illustrated Guide: Zanpakuto]

[Forging Difficulty: Extremely Low]

[Foundry Point Requirement: 1]

Do you understand this?

……

It is clear.

This is the sword in the other person's hand.

Lin Kong knew that this sword, like the [Azure Pattern Sword], was a relatively common type of basic ordinary weapon.

However, the Azure Pattern Sword primarily relies on visual interference, making it suitable for martial artists with high sword speed.

The [Slashing Blade Sword] is a type of sword primarily used for slashing attacks.

A sword technique suitable for wide, sweeping movements, using brute force to overcome skill.

Faced with this person's questioning.

Lin Kong calmly picked up a [Azure Pattern Sword], his voice emanating from beneath his black robe.

"I'll let you strike three times."

"If you can cut my Azure Pattern Sword, I will not only not ask for compensation, but I will also give you forty taels of silver."

"But if you can't cut it off..."

"You'll have to hand over forty taels of silver."

"Dare to try?"

The swordsman raised an eyebrow.

The Azure Pattern Sword is a type of sword that primarily relies on visual distraction; its inherent durability is not particularly strong.

Even among the many inferior ordinary weapons, it is relatively fragile.

After all, when forging the Azure Pattern Sword, the swordsmith needs to precisely hammer out micro-grooves that are difficult to see with the naked eye on the sword blank, which will reduce the sturdiness of the Azure Pattern Sword.

The [Slashing Blade Sword] is primarily designed for slashing attacks.

Although they are all weapons of the same level.

However, it is by no means difficult for the [Severing Blade Sword] to cut through the [Azure Pattern Sword] head-on.

However, the other party's nonchalant attitude inevitably made him hesitate.

After all, to be able to remain so calm and confident in making a strike under the watchful eyes of so many people must mean he has the confidence to back it up.

In his mind, the words "Azure Pattern Sword" and "sturdy" were never associated with each other. He didn't believe that there was a Azure Pattern Sword that he couldn't cut.

"Playing tricks."

He decided to give it a try; after all, forty taels of silver wasn't much to him.

"Tell me, how do you intend to kill me?"

He asked in a cold voice.

Lin Kong laid the Azure Pattern Sword horizontally on the ground.

The meaning is obvious.

He simply left the Azure Pattern Sword there, letting it be slashed at as it pleased.

This surprised the swordsman.

He had assumed the other party intended to draw their sword and fight him head-on.

Unexpectedly, he simply placed it on the ground and let me kill it.

This approach is arguably the most persuasive.

If two people are wielding swords and fighting, the one with greater strength or internal energy will definitely have the advantage.

If you just leave it on the ground, there's no possibility of cheating.

The swordsman immediately gripped the hilt of his sword under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Swish!

The [Slashing Blade] in his hand was drawn and swiftly slashed downwards.

Clang!

With a crisp impact sound.

The Azure Pattern Sword on the ground was completely intact, without even a trace of damage.

You have two more chances.

Lin Kong said calmly.

"This...how is this possible?!"

The swordsman looked on incredulously.

His palms began to sweat, and his fingers gripped the sword hilt repeatedly.

Pressure gradually rose in my heart.

He then took a deep breath and gripped the sword hilt tightly.

His eyes sharpened.

He unleashed his strongest sword technique.

He unleashed two sword strikes in an instant.

Clang! Clang!

After the two collisions.

The Azure Pattern Sword on the ground remains intact.

On the contrary, the swordsman's [Slicing Blade Sword] actually developed a huge nick in the two impacts.

"Oh my god! This...this is too outrageous!!"

"What kind of [Azure Pattern Sword] is this? It's incredibly sturdy!?"

"Incredible! Unheard of before!!"

"Even the [Slicing Blade Sword] was cleaved through, but the [Azure Pattern Sword] remains completely intact, without even a trace of a cut..."

The surrounding crowd gasped in amazement.

In an instant, I understood why the other party dared to claim that their Azure Pattern Sword was the strongest Azure Pattern Sword!

The swordsman stood there, stunned and bewildered.

I can't understand how a mere [Azure Pattern Sword] could be so sturdy!

This makes absolutely no sense!

If it weren't for the exquisite and delicate blue patterns on the sword, he would never have believed that this was a [Blue Pattern Sword].

"Forty taels of silver."

Lin Kong reached out his hand to the swordsman.

Although the swordsman was shocked, he did not renege on his debt and directly handed over forty taels of silver, asking in a hurried tone.

"How much is your Azure Pattern Sword?!"

"One handle costs forty taels."

Lin Kong spoke calmly.

"Forty taels!?"

The surrounding crowd gasped again.

This price is really outrageous for them.

After all, even the higher-quality [Azure Pattern Swords] are only worth two taels of silver.

The price of the Azure Pattern Sword here has increased twentyfold!

Even a "master craftsman's" [Azure Pattern Sword] wouldn't sell for such an outrageous price.

Weapons that can usually sell for this price are of medium-grade ordinary weaponry.

And only relatively good ordinary weapons can fetch this price.

However, the swordsman in front of Lin Kong did not hesitate at all in the face of such an outrageous price.

"I'll take all of your Azure Pattern Swords!"

He was even afraid that someone would try to take them from him, so he immediately took out 560 taels of silver and bought all of these [Azure Pattern Swords], and then asked for details.

"Do you have any more [Azure Pattern Swords]? As long as they're of this quality, I'll take them all!!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Kong took a closer look at the swordsman in front of him.

Although the weapon this person uses is only a basic ordinary weapon like the [Slicing Blade Sword], his background is clearly extraordinary.

He has already given out six hundred taels of silver without even flinching.

However, Lin Kong no longer had any extra [Azure Pattern Swords].

This time, he planned to sell these fourteen [Azure Pattern Swords].

"That's all, but if I need to sell swords in the future, I'll come here again."

After leaving those words, Lin Kong turned and left without lingering.
