The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Half an hour later, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi were ready to leave. At this time, Wan Yixing took out two platinum medals from his storage jade bracelet and handed them to them, saying, "You have completed the fourth-level demon hunting mission. I will make an exception for you today. From today on, you are platinum demon hunters!"

Seeing this medal, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi were very shocked. There were only a few dozen platinum demon hunters in the entire Novan City, and any of them was a well-known figure in the Demon Hunter Association. Demon hunters above the platinum level had the authority in the association second only to the internal staff of the association. They could enjoy many benefits of the Demon Hunter Association and even have access to many confidential information of the Demon Hunter Association.

"President Wan, this is too expensive..." Xiao Zhu declined.

"It's okay. From now on, you can come to see me anytime with this medal. They won't stop you." Wan Yixing said.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu took the two platinum medals, handed one to Xia Shi, and said, "Thank you, President Wan."

After saying goodbye, Situ Hongyi watched Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi walk into the teleportation array. She smiled and took Wan Yixing's arm, her beautiful eyes moving as she asked, "Do you know who this young man reminds me of?"

Wan Yixing looked at her in confusion.

"I thought of you when you were young! One hundred and twenty years ago, you were young and energetic and hunted down the fourth-level magical beast, the Blue Eagle. As a result, you fell into the glacier and almost died. That's why my father fell in love with you, and then we had the fate to become husband and wife." Situ Hongyi said affectionately.

"Yes, President Situ is the one who changed my destiny." Wan Yixing sighed. "But this Xiao Zhu is much more calm and steady than I was at that time. There is still a long time to come, let's see how he grows! But this Xia Shi, her personality is nothing like yours."

Situ Hongyi smiled, and the two of them walked back to the tea room arm in arm.

The sound of wind outside the window seemed to be telling the story of the hundred years they had spent together.

……

After leaving the Demon Hunter Association, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi walked towards the direction of Novan College. When they arrived at the entrance of Novan College, they saw two familiar figures standing in the distance. They were the Murong siblings, and they seemed to be waiting for someone.

Xiao Zhu didn't have the slightest favorable impression towards these two people. In the Illusionary Land of Nothingness and the Heavenly Sword Forest, they put him in danger twice. Fortunately, he was lucky enough, otherwise he would have died without a burial place.

He walked past the Murong siblings as if he had seen nothing. Just as the four of them passed by, Murong Qiushui suddenly chuckled and said, "What's the matter? Is Brother Xiaozhu holding a grudge against us, brother and sister?"

Xiao Zhu sneered coldly: "For what you have done, should I be grateful to you?"

"Brother Xiao Zhu, what you said is not right." Murong Qiushui widened her eyes. With her pretty beauty and makeup, she looked like a young girl. She said delicately, "In the illusion, we did want to kill you, but that was just to protect ourselves. Now that you haven't revealed the Feng brothers' thoughts, we certainly won't care. As for the Tianjian Forest, we took you to find your beloved Shi'er as promised, and she is standing beside you intact now! Instead, you didn't fulfill your promise to help us kill Di Rong. You should owe us, right?"

"So, you two are here to wait for me?" Xiao Zhu understood the intentions of the two.

"That's right, Brother Xiao Zhu, can you please spare me a moment to talk?" Murong Qiu Shui looked at the people coming and going around, pointed to a pavilion and said.

Xiao Zhu looked at Xia Shi, and she nodded. They then followed the Murong siblings to a pavilion nearby, where only the four of them were left.

"What do you want to see me about?" Xiao Zhu asked straight to the point.

"To be honest, we are here for Di Rong's crystal core." Murong Changtian suddenly said.

"Di Rong's crystal core?" Xiao Zhu said in shock. He didn't expect that it had only been a day since he obtained the crystal core and these two had already known about it.

"The fourth-level demon hunting mission 'Hunting Di Rong' in the Demon Hunter Association Hall has just disappeared, and you two have been personally received by the president of the association. In this case, even if we are fools, we should be able to guess who completed this mission." Murong Qiushui rolled his eyes and said with a slight smile: "But I really didn't expect that Brother Xiao Zhu is so powerful. Not only can he escape from the underworld, but he can also kill a fourth-level demon beast above his level. Among the students of our generation in Nuowan College, I am afraid that only the monster Ning Zhiwan can be compared with you, Brother Xiao Zhu!"

Xiao Zhu did not react to Murong Qiushui's flattery. He replied coldly, "What do you want Di Rong's crystal core for?"

"My Thousand Feather Bloodline physique is very special. You have also seen that my strength basically relies on the pair of wings behind me. And every time I reach a certain level of cultivation, I must use the power of the Warcraft crystal core to enchant the wings. Otherwise, if the wings are not powerful enough, my strength will be severely limited. And Di Rong's crystal core is the excellent material for enchanting wings." Murong Qiu Shui said seriously.

This situation was really unbelievable. Xiao Zhu couldn't tell whether her words were true or false, so he didn't respond for a while.

"Of course, we won't let Brother Xiao Zhu suffer any loss. That day in the Heavenly Sword Forest, we saw that your weapon had been damaged by Di Rong. I happen to have a weapon here. How about exchanging it for mine?"

After saying this, Murong Qiu Shui took out a huge object from the storage jade bracelet and placed it in front of Xiao Zhu.

"What is this?" Xiao Zhu was stunned for a moment before he realized that the object in front of him was a huge black sword, but the sword was broken at the blade, and the tip of the sword was missing. Even so, the broken sword was more than one meter long, and when it stood up, it could reach Xiao Zhu's waist.

"This giant sword was obtained by chance by my father in the northern Huanling country when he was young. I don't know what material it is made of. Although the blade is broken, its hardness is truly unprecedented in our lives. According to my father, this sword is most likely left by a demon hunter from ancient times. If this giant sword can be repaired one day, its power will probably be beyond our imagination."

"Brother Xiao Zhu, are you interested in trying the sword?" Murong Qiu Shui handed the hilt to Xiao Zhu, and the broad sword body dragged on the ground.

Xiao Zhu held the hilt of the sword and immediately felt that the sword was heavier than he had imagined, perhaps weighing hundreds of pounds. He poured his spiritual power into his arms and slowly raised the sword.

Xiao Zhu saw a piece of granite nearby and chopped the giant sword towards the granite. The blade of the giant sword was not sharpened and was rough like saw teeth. The chop was more like a blow. The next moment, there was a loud "clang" sound, and the granite was turned into powder under the giant sword, while the blade of the giant sword was not damaged at all.

The power of this attack surprised Xiao Zhu, while Murong Qiushui showed a satisfied smile on her face. She smiled and said, "We are both demon hunters of the Agility Attack type. This giant sword is not suitable for us. But Brother Xiao Zhu is very good at using it! How about it, Brother Xiao Zhu, are you willing to exchange it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu hesitated. The Murong brothers and sisters risked their lives to go deep into the Heavenly Sword Forest to obtain Di Rong's crystal core, which showed that this crystal core was very important to her. Although the giant sword in front of her was incomplete, the material used to make the giant sword was extremely tough, which made Xiao Zhu very curious about it.

After a moment, Xiao Zhu nodded and replied, "Deal!"
