Just as the Weapon Master was about to retrieve the sword and leave, a man’s voice rang out.
“I’ll buy that sword!”
The entire scene fell silent.
Everyone turned to look in unison, only to see a disheveled man in black clothes holding silver bills, and stepping towards the display table.
Without a doubt, this man was Jiang Yuan.
“Isn’t that the man who traveled with Miss Shen? He… he actually wants to buy that sword?”
“Is he out of his mind? That’s a sword even the City Lord can’t wield!”
“He’s just an ordinary person with no cultivation. What’s the point of buying that sword when he can’t even get close to it?”
Seeing Jiang Yuan’s actions, the crowd began to mock him openly.
Meanwhile, Shen Hanbing was seated in the audience, looking at Jiang Yuan with deep gratitude, and feeling a sense of warmth in her heart.
“Are you sure you want to buy it?” The Weapon Master looked at Jiang Yuan with skepticism.
“Absolutely.” Jiang Yuan nodded and then climbed onto the display platform, heading towards the pressure zone.
People watched Jiang Yuan with ridicule, already imagining him being crushed to the ground within the pressure zone.
As Jiang Yuan approached the pressure zone, someone confidently said, “As soon as he steps into the pressure zone, he’ll immediately kneel…”
But before the person could finish speaking, they were left speechless.
Because Jiang Yuan had already entered the pressure zone and was walking through it as if nothing was amiss.
One step…
Two steps…
Three steps…
Each step was steady with a consistent rhythm and light pace.
“How… how is this possible! He didn’t even kneel down as soon as he entered the pressure zone?”
“Not only did he not kneel down, but he also didn’t slow down at all! Even the Sonic Assassin and City Lord couldn’t bear the pressure of the sword. How did an ordinary person like him withstand it?”
People found it hard to accept this reality. Even though they were outside the pressure zone, they felt breathless and sluggish due to the sword’s pressure.
In their eyes, yet this ordinary person seemed to walk freely within the pressure zone.
This made them feel extremely ashamed.
And the most ashamed among them was undoubtedly the Almighty Grandmaster, who had knelt down after taking just four steps.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan continued to walk forward.
Fifth step…
Sixth step…
Seventh step…
No matter how many steps he took, Jiang Yuan remained expressionless, maintaining the same pace without showing any signs of being affected by the pressure.
Finally, when he reached the sword, Jiang Yuan still hadn’t breathed heavily. His body remained unscathed; without a single mark from the sword, and his clothes were intact.
“He… he actually walked up to the sword…”
“It’s unbelievable! How did he do it? Even the City Lord and the Almighty Grandmaster couldn’t!”
“Is he really just an ordinary person with no cultivation? Why does it feel like his cultivation is higher than ours?”
As everyone marveled at Jiang Yuan’s feat, he casually reached out and picked up the sword.
The entire scene suddenly fell silent.
All eyes were fixed on Jiang Yuan, who under everyone’s gaze, casually grasped the hilt of the sword.
And as soon as Jiang Yuan’s consciousness touched the sword’s hilt, he entered the spiritual world of the sword spirit.
It was a world of bloodshed.
Mountains of corpses and rivers of blood littered the landscape with broken swords and shattered spears strewn about.
A monstrous demon engulfed in flames, its hideous face contorted in a roar, then appeared before Jiang Yuan.
Without a doubt, this demon was the sword’s spirit.
The spirit roared at Jiang Yuan as if declaring its territory.
The roar contained a powerful mental impact, enough to make those with weak wills lose their minds.
But when it acted on Jiang Yuan, there was no response at all.
Seeing Jiang Yuan’s lack of reaction, the sword spirit wore a puzzled expression, and stared at him in disbelief.
And immediately, its pupils contracted sharply, revealing an expression of incomparable horror.
Because from this man before its eyes, it saw an endless and immense power!
In its eyes, this man was like a gigantic star! And in front of this man, it felt as small as a grain of sand!
The spirit emitted a fearful wail, its body trembling as it curled up on the ground, its momentum constantly diminishing.
“I’m telling you to recognize who your master is, do you understand?” Jiang Yuan said in a plain tone.
He didn’t have a supreme aura, nor did he exert pressure like a deity. He simply stood in front of the spirit doing nothing, and yet causing the spirit to submit completely.
After subduing the spirit, Jiang Yuan’s consciousness returned to reality.
There was no raging storm as everyone imagined.
There was no overwhelming aura engulfing the entire scene.
There was even no sharp pressure from the sword covering the sky.
Everything returned to calmness.
With just a crisp sound, the sword that made City Lord spit blood was casually and indifferently drawn out by Jiang Yuan.
As if the sword he drew out was not a Celestial Tier artifact, but an ordinary iron sword.
“Is… is this really… a Celestial Tier artifact?”
“The sword that intimidated everyone just now, why does it look like this now?”
“What… what did this man do? How did he manage to draw out the sword that even the City Lord couldn’t?!”
Everyone looked at Jiang Yuan in disbelief as if witnessing the most unimaginable thing in the world.
They could hardly believe their eyes.
The sword that even City Lord Ye Gucheng couldn’t draw out was now drawn out by an unknown man.
And he did it so effortlessly, so nonchalantly!
Even after drawing out the sword, the power that the sword originally should have had disappeared without a trace in his hands!
If it weren’t for the fact that City Lord Ye Gucheng was made to spit blood by this sword earlier, everyone would even doubt whether this sword was really a Celestial Tier artifact.
In the midst of everyone’s attention, Jiang Yuan handed the silver bill in his hand to the dumbfounded Weapon Master. Then he approached Shen Hanbing with the sword in hand.
“I accidentally broke your sword before. Consider this sword as compensation for you.” Jiang Yuan handed the sword in his hand to Shen Hanbing without hesitation.
His indifferent attitude made it seem as if this was not a Celestial Tier artifact, but a cheap ordinary iron sword.
After receiving the sword, Shen Hanbing showed no discomfort as if she had received an ordinary sword.
Obviously, when she took the sword, the sword spirit had already recognized her as its master.
This was Jiang Yuan’s command to the sword spirit, and naturally, the sword spirit dared not disobey.
“Master… Thank you! This is the most precious gift I’ve ever received in my life…” Shen Hanbing hugged the sword with gratitude as if she had received a gift from her beloved, becoming the happiest person in the world.
