Chapter 1912: Chapter 1912: Shedding the Rust! The Blade’s Former Edge Returns!

"This is good too!"

Mu Jinyu put down a dry corpse, and with a sudden bang, it immediately turned to flying ash and scattered completely!

And the other corpses he had inspected were similarly burned to ash!

After all, they were already dead.

The Exotic Blood that made them strong was fully plundered by the Riot-Quelling Sword; although their bodies had strengthened during cultivation, it was meaningless in the fiery Phoenix Tree Forest.

Without protection from their own cultivation and Exotic Blood, their corpses were like ordinary branches, quickly ignited.

Mu Jinyu stood up, no longer concerned with these people, continued holding the Riot-Quelling Sword, and chased after the fleeing forces!

...

"Ah!!"

"No!!"

"Fight him!"

"Damn it!!"

"Ugh..."

"..."

A half hour later.

Mu Jinyu had slain all the family alliance members who had previously escaped from him in this Phoenix Tree Forest.

Their Exotic Blood was devoured entirely by the Riot-Quelling Sword without exception.

Thus, Mu Jinyu didn’t need to deal with their corpses specifically; their bodies turned to ash instantly.

When Mu Jinyu eradicated the last person,

"Clang clang clang!!"

Mu Jinyu prepared to leave the Phoenix Tree Forest to find Qiu Yunxin and share the Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit with her.

But just then, the Riot-Quelling Sword in his hand suddenly rang loudly, becoming increasingly hot, and its entire body glimmered with bright blood light.

It appeared extraordinarily demonic.

No wonder the students of Dongyue Mansion, having learned about it, named it the Demon Sword!

"What’s going on?"

Seeing the Riot-Quelling Sword acting oddly, Mu Jinyu paused, surprised and intrigued.

After all, he had slaughtered all those people.

He wasn’t in a rush to leave immediately.

Delaying for a moment wouldn’t lead to any unexpected changes.

Might as well see what’s happening with the Riot-Quelling Sword.

Otherwise, if he hastily left, sheathed the Riot-Quelling Sword without concern.

If it erupted later to backfire on him, wouldn’t that be a disaster?

"Hiss hiss!!"

As Mu Jinyu stood and observed the Riot-Quelling Sword to see exactly what was happening, it began to tremble lightly.

Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The Riot-Quelling Sword, like a snake shedding its skin, began shedding spots of iron rust from its blade that couldn’t be removed before.

"Clang clang..."

"Hiss hiss!!"

Patches of iron rust fell away, then transformed into strange black matter that scattered with the wind!

"How can this be?"

Mu Jinyu observed the transformation of the Riot-Quelling Sword and murmured in surprise.

He recalled the clerk saying the iron rust on the Riot-Quelling Sword couldn’t be removed.

After purchasing the Riot-Quelling Sword, he tried removing the spots of iron rust.

But it was impossible to succeed!

It seemed like it was forged this way!

It wasn’t iron rust, but rather patterns or inscriptions on the blade.

Mu Jinyu could only comfort himself with this thought.

The Riot-Quelling Sword could match a Medium Grade Sacred Weapon, yet while those sold for 200,000 credits, the Riot-Quelling Sword only cost 100,000 credits.

Just because of its ugly appearance, he saved 100,000 credits, which was a great deal.

Unexpectedly, after thinking it couldn’t be thoroughly cleaned of iron rust, the moment he slew the Fire Phoenix and several Human Race cultivators of the Life and Death Realm, plundering the Exotic Blood within them.

The Riot-Quelling Sword began to shed its iron rust!

Of course, it wasn’t entirely cleared, turning the blade into a bright and sharp edge.

The current Riot-Quelling Sword, after flickering with blood light and shedding rust, was still pitch black, with a faint layer of rust...

But this rust was very light, as if it were an iron weapon left for some time without proper care, hence slightly rusted.

With proper polishing, it could shine again!

Unlike its original form, covered in thick rust, layer upon layer, like centuries-old calluses.

"It’s even gotten much heavier!"

Mu Jinyu held the newly transformed Riot-Quelling Sword, weighing it lightly with surprise and admiration.

Though the Riot-Quelling Sword could be raised with ease, whether light or heavy.

How could he not perceive a change in weight?

The original Riot-Quelling Sword weighed around 10,000 pounds.

But now, it had increased to about 30,000 pounds!

Oddly, even after losing several layers of heavy rust.

Logically, the Riot-Quelling Sword should be lighter!

How did it become heavier in the end?

Mu Jinyu speculated that there might be issues with the rust, acting like a seal to cover the true weight and power of the Riot-Quelling Sword.

Then Mu Jinyu thought of a term!

Divine Weapon Concealing!

Perhaps the Human Race sage who forged the Riot-Quelling Sword didn’t want its owners to continuously massacre the Human Race.

Whenever stained with human blood or kept inactive from killing Foreign Races, it would gradually dim and rust, sealing its power.

Conversely, if one continued to slaughter Foreign Races with the Riot-Quelling Sword, devouring Exotic Blood, its seal would be lifted, shedding rust to reveal its former splendor and sharpness once more!

"Hmm, that could be the possibility..."

"Though I killed a lot just now!"

"But these people all tread the Foreign Bloodline Cultivation Path, reaching the Life and Death Realm, indicating they’ve visited places like the Life and Death Creation Pool, altering their bodies to better host Exotic Blood without violent reactions, so strictly speaking, they’re closer to Foreign Race than Human Race!"

"So after killing them, the Riot-Quelling Sword didn’t dim, but instead shed layers of rust!"

Mu Jinyu murmured, speculating.

Then, gazing at the pitch black, faintly rusty Riot-Quelling Sword, he grew more fond of it.

The originally rusty Riot-Quelling Sword was unsightly, but now, though still rusty, it appeared much better.

Importantly, Mu Jinyu knew, if he continued wielding the Riot-Quelling Sword, slaying many Foreign Races, it would eventually shed all its rust and restore its original form.

Whether it would become brightly sharp or remain inky black.

Mu Jinyu had no idea, but he wasn’t worried about that...

"Buying the Riot-Quelling Sword for 100,000 credits, this is the ultimate bargain!"

Mu Jinyu exclaimed excitedly, then subdued his excitement after a while, finally sheathing the Riot-Quelling Sword and heading out of the Phoenix Tree Forest.

He was going to find Qiu Yunxin.

He didn’t know if Qiu Yunxin had grown impatient.
