The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2263 Who could tolerate something like this?
Lin Chen was deeply shocked.

If this really is a sword, then the spire-like thing that everyone saw before was just the end of the hilt, the cylindrical metal object engraved with countless array patterns was just the hilt, the huge metal object extending horizontally was the guard, and the huge steel slope below was the blade, and only one side of the blade.

How big is this sword?
The length of the hilt alone is at least several thousand meters. If the ratio of the hilt to the blade of a typical longsword is about 1:3, then the length of this sword would not exceed tens of thousands of meters, or even longer.

Why would such a huge sword appear in this deep water?
How did this bottomless body of water come into being?
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Chen's mind in an instant. The three people in front of him had also sensed that something was wrong with the object and were discussing it in hushed tones. Lin Chen transmitted his voice and said, "This is a sword, a huge sword!"

The three of them all changed their expressions slightly. After carefully recalling the place they had just passed through and the scene they had seen, they accepted Lin Chen's speculation.

This is indeed a sword!

Qi Wuchang said in a deep voice, "There are no signs of human cultivators in this world, only magical beasts. How did this sword end up here?"

A hint of fear flickered in Su Yanran's eyes: "Such a terrifying sword, what kind of powerful being could wield it?"

Zhong Shuyu stared at the dark mass below and suddenly asked, "Have you noticed that the concentration of demonic energy increases the further down you go?"

Everyone was startled, and upon closer inspection, they confirmed it was true.

Qi Wuchang said in a deep voice, "Could there be something in this water that can emit demonic energy?"

The group exchanged glances and all agreed that this was very likely.

Zhong Shuyu said in a deep voice, "Demonic energy can cause these monsters to mutate, eventually losing their minds and becoming monsters that only know how to kill. If there is something releasing demonic energy below, could it be that it created the countless monsters in this water? Is it related to this giant sword?"

A thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind, and he said softly, "Water evaporates, turns into water vapor, rises into the air, then flows with the wind, and finally turns into rain, returning to the earth. In this endless cycle, countless demonic energies are also released throughout the world..."

Su Yanran's eyes widened, and she said in shock, "You mean this body of water created all the magical beasts in the world?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm just suggesting a possibility. After all, magical beasts are formed from demonic energy, and demonic energy doesn't arise for no reason; there must be some cause..."

Su Yanran thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Based on the depth of the sword hilt, this place is at least 10,000 meters away from the bottom of the water. The demonic energy here is already so dense, so how dense would it be further down? Thinking about it this way, what Fellow Daoist Lin said is really possible."

Qi Wuchang said coldly, "What exactly is down there? Will we be in danger if we go down?" Zhong Shuyu replied in a deep voice, "No matter what, we've come this far, we should at least investigate."

Everyone naturally thought the same thing. Regardless of what was down there, with such a giant sword, who could resist taking a look?
Zhong Shuyu approached the sword, flicked it with his finger, producing a crisp sound, and after examining it carefully, Zhong Shuyu's expression was one of shock: "This is Dark Cloud Gold, which is extremely rare and incredibly hard. It is an excellent material for forging weapons. How much Dark Cloud Gold must have been used to make such a large sword!"

Lin Chen asked, "This sword must be very valuable, right?"

Zhong Shuyu carefully examined the sword for a long time, then looked up with eyes full of fervent light: "Just this much Dark Cloud Gold is already a fortune enough to drive anyone crazy, not to mention the extremely powerful forging technique this sword possesses..."

Su Yanran asked, "What refining technique?"

Zhong Shuyu hesitated for a few seconds: "I don't know."

Su Yanran's eyes widened, her face filled with shock: "If I remember correctly, you should be an elder of your sect's weapon-refining pavilion, right? How come you can't tell what kind of refining technique it is?"

Zhong Shuyu looked slightly embarrassed: "Yes, but I really don't know what kind of refining technique this is. I can see some of the ingenious techniques, but I can't understand it all..."

Qi Wuchang said in a deep voice, "So, this is a very powerful refining technique that you don't understand?"

"Yes!"

Zhong Shuyu nodded affirmatively: "That's precisely why the value of this sword is immeasurable..."

At this point, Qi Wuchang, Zhong Shuyu, and Su Yanran exchanged glances, their eyes holding a hint of something unusual.

Clearly, after realizing the value of the sword, all three of them were tempted by it.

Lin Chen was naturally very curious about the sword, but even if he were given such a huge sword, he wouldn't be able to move it!
Let alone Lin Chen, even if it were given to Qi Wuchang and the other three Great Luo Immortals, they might not be able to move it. After all, who could lift such a heavy giant sword by their own strength?
