Chapter 61 Overlord Blade
[1. The tongue of a hanged ghost: People who hang themselves are usually filled with resentment. The tongue of a hanged ghost is extremely resilient. Once it wraps around the neck of its target, it can suspend the person in mid-air without any leverage until they die.]
The resentment will seep into the target's body through the tongue, turning the deceased into a wandering, vengeful spirit, at the disposal of the tool's user.
By using the Hanging Ghost's Tongue to kill many demons, you can recruit them as your underlings.
"Not bad weapon."
Li Qingchen continued reading.
[II. The Scissors Ghost's Hands: Among all the ghosts and monsters, the Scissors Ghost's hands are the most unique.]
Those were hands as pale as paper, with twisted knuckles, fingertips as sharp as scissors coated with cold poison, and nails with an eerie silver-gray hue.
[Legend has it that the Scissors Ghost's left hand can sever the fate of its target, cutting off their path and causing all their misfortunes. Even those with great fortune will be instantly plagued by bad luck and suffer the destruction of their family if they are cut.]
The Scissors Demon's right hand can sever the lifespan of its target. With a gentle stroke of its fingertip, it can see the lifespan thread above the target's head. Once cut, the lifespan will dissipate like a kite with a broken string, resulting in a loss of ten years or even a direct return to the underworld.
However, each use of the Scissors Demon consumes half of the user's remaining lifespan.
Over time, the user will gradually lose their mind and eventually become nourishment for the Scissors Demon, never to be reincarnated.
Even a swordsman capable of dying and rising from the dead would be injured by this.
"This thing is quite extraordinary."
Li Qingchen was somewhat tempted, but there was nothing she could do.
The left-hand mechanism is high-level, the right-hand mechanism is high-level.
The only drawback is that it comes at a high cost.
[III. The Thorn Dragon's Tail: Every spring, the Thorn Dragon molts its tail. The discarded tail pieces are collected by the pimps at the brothel and made into aphrodisiacs.]
Once you collect enough tails, you can unleash some of the Thorn Dragon's abilities.
"???"
Li Qingchen glanced at the unfazed skull and thought to himself, "Good lad, I never expected you to be such a ghost general."
Li Qingchen looked at the last one.
The Overlord Blade was forged by an ancient vengeful general. Its blade is entirely black, three feet seven inches long, with fine, intricate blood-red patterns covering the back. The hilt is wrapped in blackened human hair, and the scabbard is engraved with countless wailing ghost faces, each corresponding to a vengeful spirit who died in battle.
Good heavens! Li Qingchen exclaimed, "Good heavens!" Just from this description, he knew that this knife must be extremely bloody and exceptionally evil.
The power of the Overlord Blade lies in its ability to attract and devour resentment. Whenever a life falls beneath its blade, it absorbs the soul, enhancing the blade's power. The Overlord Blade can hold countless souls; you need not worry about its limits.
The effect is simple and straightforward; it's definitely a high-stat weapon.
[Swordsman, as expected, you've chosen the Overlord Blade as your ghost pet's weapon. The master craftsman has provided you with a list of materials; you need to collect them.]
[Material: A butcher's knife used by evil spirits; to forge a sharp, domineering blade, one needs a sharp steel blade as material.]
Li Qingchen thought to himself that it was like a pillow being delivered to him just as he was about to fall asleep; the one thing he had in abundance right now was a butcher's knife.
You've entrusted all your butcher knives to the master craftsman who has honed them through countless trials.
[Forging for you...]
The master craftsman, skilled in countless forging techniques, tells you that there seems to be a problem with the forging process. He says he needs some lubricant, preferably the perfume the perfumer sells.
Tsk, they just issued a city-wide warrant for my arrest, and you're already pushing me into a fire pit.
There was no other way; they couldn't let this delay things. Li Qingchen gritted his teeth and turned his attention to the female customers who owned perfumes.
After being killed several more times, Li Qingchen finally managed to get a bottle of perfume and handed it over to the craftsman.
A master craftsman, skilled in countless techniques, tells you that the Overlord Blade lacks the corresponding malevolent energy, which significantly reduces its power.
[Swordsman, the red dye from the dye shop can perfectly fill this gap. If you can get your hands on a few basins of raw materials, that would be ideal.]
Li Qingchen began to realize what was happening.
At first, he only felt that the death rate on the Moon Bay map was relatively high, and there was not much connection between the maps.
However, now that I'm forging the Overlord Blade, I've discovered that these materials are actually indispensable.
[The "Strong Luck" talent has been triggered!]
Moon Bay has no daytime, only nighttime, making it a perfect place for wicked people to commit petty theft.
The dye shop owner's business wasn't good today. She had too much blood stored up, and the warehouse was overflowing. To make room for fresh blood dye, she had no choice but to reluctantly dispose of it.
The proprietress filled several buckets with paint and pulled them on a cart towards the outskirts of Moon Bay City. Swordsman, should you secretly follow her?
[You chose to secretly follow them, and the concealment effect of your disguise technique worked; the proprietress, preoccupied only with dealing with the paint, didn't notice you.]
It came to the riverbank, intending to pour the paint down there. Swordsman, what will you do?
1. Scold the landlady angrily, telling her that polluting the environment is wrong, and tell her that you have a good place to dispose of paint. This will increase the landlady's goodwill towards you.
2. Sneaky a sword strike at it, let it know how powerful you, the swordsman, are.
"Winning over the boss's wife?"
Choosing option 1 might trigger a different storyline, while choosing option 2 will guarantee you the paints.
Li Qingchen thought for a moment and chose the second option.
The reason is simple: he had been ripped off by the landlady before, so he had to make sure she did it properly.
[You chose to stab the proprietress, who was busy opening lids and emptying buckets, completely unprepared for your sneak attack.]
The proprietress wasn't killed instantly after being hit, but you faced a desperate counterattack!
Fortunately, you are no longer the same person you once were. You summon the Ghost General, who is then kicked to death by the landlady. You then engage the landlady in a fierce battle.
After a fierce battle, you were severely wounded, but you successfully killed the landlady.
[Hint: You have obtained red paint!]
[The master craftsman, skilled in countless trials, tells you that this proprietress was once a maidservant of that True Lord. She is extremely adept at controlling blood, and her heart is also excellent material.]
[You used the skillful butcher's method to dissect an ox, and you ripped out the heart of the True Lord's maid.]
You give your heart and all the red pigment to the craftsman.
The craftsman is forging it for you...
[Hint: Your Overlord Blade has gained a large amount of malevolent energy!]
[Note: The Overlord Blade has incorporated the abilities of the Maidservant True Lord; wounds inflicted by this blade will be extremely difficult to heal!]
Li Qingchen looked at the game text and thought to himself, "Wow!"
It is well known that the super-fast regeneration ability of high-level demons is a major headache for human cultivators.
But if it could suppress the opponent's healing effect... that would be an absolute demon-slaying weapon!
[Forging for you...]
[Forging for you...]
[Swordsman, your Overlord Blade is now complete!]
