60: Cutting iron like mud

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

Wasn't the sword in Qin Yun's hand just a simple cold weapon? How could it have such an effect?

Even from so far away, they could feel a chilling coldness, and it seemed to faintly absorb the surrounding light.

In everyone's eyes, Qin Yun's figure completely vanished from the warehouse.

Only that longsword, shining with a blinding light, remained imprinted in their vision.

This sword was definitely extraordinary.

They just didn't know if it was a modern-day masterpiece or a legendary divine weapon passed down through the ages.

If it were an antique recorded in history...

...this sword would definitely be worth a fortune.

Even if it were a sword forged today, with such a strange manifestation, it would surely be extremely valuable.

It seemed that buying this warehouse for six hundred thousand was a very profitable deal.

With just this one sword, the Eastern Kid could make a killing.

Once they adjusted to the sword's light, they could see the situation inside the warehouse clearly.

Everyone thought what had happened before was an illusion.

Regardless, the longsword in Qin Yun's hand was definitely a rare treasure.

Everyone looked at Qin Yun with eyes full of envy.

There were bound to be good things in the warehouses of this Warehouse Auction.

Why hadn't they placed a bid?

Julia was deeply shocked when she saw the magical properties of this sword.

It seemed Qin Yun's judgment was correct; this sword was definitely the nine dragons precious sword.

Only this kind of legendary divine weapon would have such an effect.

It looked like Qin Yun had collected a national treasure of Xia.

To have so many gains in such a short time, only a freak like Qin Yun could pull off such a miraculous performance.

Arnold was also stunned the moment he saw the performance of the longsword in Qin Yun's hand.

Seeing how much Qin Yun cared about this warehouse, he knew there would be a significant treasure inside that he was unaware of.

He hadn't expected it to be such a peerless sword.

In his twenty-plus years at the Auction House, he had never seen such a magical sword.

Many of the million-dollar antique cold weapons he had handled couldn't compare to the one in Qin Yun's hand.

It seemed this longsword must have a great history.

Arnold didn't feel a shred of regret.

The fact that Qin Yun could find such a sword in the warehouse...

...proved that the man he had chosen had excellent vision, ability, and luck.

Otherwise, Qin Yun wouldn't have obtained such a rare and heavy treasure.

The stronger Qin Yun was, the higher the probability of victory in the internal auction.

And thus, he would gain more control over the Auction House.

He was now ninety percent sure that Qin Yun would leave everyone in the dust during the internal competition!

"Congratulations on finding such a heavy treasure in the warehouse. May I ask what the origin of this sword is?"

Seeing such a sword, even Arnold, who was used to seeing treasures, felt an itch of curiosity, so he stepped forward to ask about its origin.

Hearing Arnold's words, everyone's attention shifted to Qin Yun.

They were also extremely curious.

What was the origin of this sword?

How much was it worth?

Qin Yun, who had drawn the nine dragons precious sword, also hadn't expected the legendary sword to be so magical.

So he stared at the nine dragons precious sword for a long time without moving.

"This is the nine dragons precious sword, a priceless treasure. It was the favorite collectible of the Emperor, who even decreed that the nine dragons precious sword be buried with him."

"The Emperor was at the pinnacle of power and had tens of thousands of collectibles. The fact that he specifically decreed to have the nine dragons precious sword buried with him shows his love for the sword and its immense value!"

"Legend has it that this sword was forged with human blood. During the forging process, nineteen master swordsmiths died because they nurtured the sword with their heart's blood. After it was successfully forged, the blood of forty-nine heinous criminals was sacrificed to it."

"Once it was forged, the world changed color, thunder roared, and a blood-red cloud appeared in the sky. To appease the spirit of this sword, ninety-nine monks chanted sutras around it for an entire year."

Qin Yun took a breath and continued to explain.

"From the day it was created, this sword displayed a peerless malevolence. Because of the blood, it carries immense killing intent and is incomparably sharp. After being appeased by the high monks, its sharpness was restrained, and it became what it is now."

"However, this sword is still very eerie. After being stolen by the great warlord Sun Dianying, he died a violent death shortly after. Its subsequent owners also met with unfortunate ends."

"Therefore, the nine dragons precious sword is also considered a peerless cursed sword; only one with great virtue can suppress it."

"The fact that the nine dragons precious sword still has such a sharp glint after all these years shows it is a rare treasure. There are probably few weapons in the world that can compare to it!"

Gently stroking the blade of the nine dragons precious sword with his left hand, Qin Yun felt an impulse to slay all his enemies.

People often say that when one carries a sharp blade, the intent to kill naturally arises.

With a peerless divine weapon in hand, the feeling of being able to cut down all the ungrateful people in the world was truly exhilarating!

The surrounding Treasure Hunters heard what Qin Yun said.

No matter how they looked at it, it sounded like a legend from a fairy tale. It sounded plausible, but because it was too exaggerated, it felt somewhat unreal.

"Eastern Kid, your story is very exciting. I believe the nine dragons precious sword has a significant origin, but most of the claims about its power are made up. How could a sword be so eerie!"

"The Eastern Kid must be exaggerating. Aside from being a bit pretty, this sword doesn't look that powerful!"

"Right, he must be bluffing, just creating hype to sell the sword. When it comes to sword forging, our American technology is the most advanced!"

"With modern science and metal materials, how could an ancient sword be more powerful than modern ones? We have Damascus forging techniques with hundreds or even thousands of layers, which ancient craftsmen couldn't match."

"Qin Yun must be bragging. Xia's past metal forging was very backward. How could they forge such a powerful sword!"

"People from Xia just love to save face and brag. This sword might not even compare to an ordinary blade!"

...Most of the Treasure Hunters present believed the sword had high value.

But if you said the nine dragons precious sword was incomparably sharp or had mystical qualities, no one would believe it!

A sword forged hundreds of years ago in such a backward environment—how powerful could it be?

Brother Wu Ying was shocked to see Qin Yun find an antique sword in the warehouse.

He detested Qin Yun even more!

Wouldn't it be better if everyone lost out in this Warehouse Auction?

Why was it that only Qin Yun could obtain such a precious treasure from the warehouse?

Greed and hatred had long clouded his mind, but with Arnold, a big shot from the Auction House, present, he didn't dare to do anything excessive.

Hearing everyone question the nine dragons precious sword, Brother Wu Ying was the happiest of all.

"The Eastern Kid is just bragging. Just because he says it's the nine dragons precious sword doesn't mean it's true!"

"This sword was found in an American blacksmith shop. Maybe an American just forged it on a whim? Besides, in backward Xia, so many years ago, any sword forged would definitely be pathetic!"

Brother Wu Ying's voice was very loud and resonated with everyone; they all agreed with this sentiment.

"How can you prove this is the real nine dragons precious sword?"

"The one in your hand is just for show; maybe it's a modern fake!"

"Good-looking weapons definitely aren't practical. You're just making up stories!"

"This sword might not even be as good as my kitchen knife!"

...Thinking the Eastern Kid was bragging in front of them, many people laughed loudly at Qin Yun's ignorance.

"Shut up!"

"How could you barbarians understand the power of a divine artifact from Xia?"

"The nine dragons precious sword has been forged for over three hundred years, and its glint has not dimmed in the slightest! No one could forge such a divine sword that cuts iron like butter!"

Seeing a group of ignorant people dare to question the nine dragons precious sword, Qin Yun was instantly enraged and lashed out at the crowd!

A divine sword like the nine dragons precious sword is hard to come by even in a thousand years. These frogs in a well have no idea of its power.

He had great confidence in the nine dragons precious sword as he swung it toward a shield hanging on a wooden rack.

With a flash of the sword's light, the shield forged from fine steel was instantly split in two!
