Chapter 992: Chapter 604: Another Encounter
The two weapons seemed like a single entity, but were separated by someone. At this moment of reunion, they swiftly merged together.
Looking at the dagger suspended in mid-air in front of him, it emitted a deep glow throughout, with its ancient design and blade mixed with fiery red and light blue light, appearing extremely strange.
Feeling the air temperature become somewhat eerie, Liu Hun’s expression slightly changed. If others learned of this transformation, it would likely cause big trouble.
Thinking of this, Liu Hun swiftly reached out with one hand and grabbed the dagger, but the moment he grasped it, a sudden sting of pain came from his palm, followed by a drop of blood slowly flowing from between his fingers.
This drop of blood was swiftly devoured by the dagger as soon as it emerged.
Witnessing this bizarre scene, the expressions of the three in the room were tinged with shock.
However, at that moment, Liu Hun’s brows furrowed. After the drop of blood was devoured by the dagger, Liu Hun suddenly felt a close bond with it, as if the dagger was originally a part of his body.
With a thought, the dagger disappeared from the vision of the three, only to reappear in Liu Hun’s hand a moment later.
“What… what exactly is going on?” Xue Lan was visibly shaken, her expression showing signs of disbelief after witnessing the strange scene.
“Blood bond!” Nangong Jin, beside her, showed a trace of joy in her beautiful eyes and whispered.
“Blood bond? How is this possible? Such a divine weapon hasn’t appeared for centuries…” Xue Lan said, somewhat stunned.
“It hasn’t appeared, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Moreover, the Frost Blade and Flame Blade were always one entity, yet no one for centuries could combine the two weapons. Today, Liu Hun accidentally managed it; it’s Liu Hun’s fortune.” Nangong Jin felt genuinely happy for Liu Hun.
With this dagger in possession, Liu Hun’s combat strength won’t just increase by one level in the future.
“This dagger is indeed strange, and it can be absorbed into the body. Using it in battle would definitely make it a killing weapon.” Liu Hun couldn’t help but sigh at this moment.
As the words fell, Liu Hun once again absorbed the dagger into his body, casually picking up the medical journal worth fifteen billion US Dollars from the table.
At this moment, Liu Hun’s palm trembled a bit; it’s his first time touching the old man’s belongings since rebirth. If it were in his previous life, the old man offering him these, Liu Hun wouldn’t have even bothered to look.
But now, Liu Hun felt incredibly cherished.
With slightly trembling hands, he slowly flipped through the contents, closing the journal in about ten minutes.
Then, he grasped the journal with one hand, applying a bit of strength to instantly turn it into powder. As Liu Hun opened his arms, the powder scattered away.
“The book you spent fifteen billion US Dollars to buy, you used just to destroy it…” Witnessing this, Xue Lan looked at Liu Hun in shock.
“Destroying this book is more valuable than keeping it. Some things you’ll slowly understand in the future. Let’s go; there’s nothing more for us here.” Liu Hun finished speaking, his eyes scanning the hall below.
Within just ten minutes, the elixir was already bought with a high price of hundreds of billions by the girl in the neighboring room.
Leaving the auction, it was already past four in the afternoon. Liu Hun asked Nangong Jin to book an urgent five-o’clock flight for him and Xue Lan, and the two headed to the airport.
Collecting the tickets at the airport, passing through security checks, they arrived in time for boarding. Nangong Jin booked them first class seats, so they immediately relaxed in their seats once on board.
In the past two days, Xue Lan hadn’t had a proper rest, and finally, with nothing else to worry about, her mind relaxed, feeling incredibly fatigued.
“I’ll rest a bit, call me when we reach the destination.” Xue Lan informed Liu Hun and then leaned on his shoulder, falling into a deep sleep.
Now, Xue Lan was not the least bit reserved with Liu Hun; they had already settled their relationship, so there was nothing to worry about.
Seeing Xue Lan asleep, Liu Hun casually picked up a magazine from behind the chair and started reading, while his mind continuously pondered over the upcoming trip to the City of Death.
Besides rescuing Zhang Fan in this trip to the City of Death, what’s more important is convincing the Ghost Doctor Clan to emerge. Otherwise, if the current situation continues to develop, Liu Hun won’t be able to contend with that mysterious force.
But the Ghost Doctor Clan hasn’t appeared for hundreds of years, and back then, the old man was only driven out. Otherwise, Liu Hun wouldn’t have mastery in medicine like this.
No matter how you look at it, Liu Hun is considered half a member of the Ghost Doctor Clan. Now that the old man has been killed, whether or not the Ghost Doctor Clan takes action, Liu Hun should try.
While Liu Hun was pondering over this matter, a young man beside him suddenly spoke to Liu Hun: “Sir, could you and your companion switch seats with us? My cousin likes to sit by the window.”
The sound of this voice was what pulled Liu Hun out from his thoughts. He looked up to see the smiling and polite young man in front of him, and then glanced at the girl beside him.
The girl looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in a fur coat, all in snow-white, with a delicate face full of cold.
It seemed that this girl was like a millennium-old ice, making people feel a chill in their hearts at first sight.
“Sorry, my girlfriend is resting now, so I don’t want to disturb her.” Liu Hun replied somewhat apologetically to the young man.
Just as he finished speaking, the girl beside the young man, who hadn’t paid him any attention, suddenly turned her head, her icy eyes fixed on Liu Hun, and said coldly: “Are you the guy who was just competing with me for the Frost Blade and the medical talks?”
“Are you the girl from the next compartment?” Seeing her unfriendly gaze, Liu Hun paused for a moment before speaking.
Liu Hun hadn’t expected that they would meet at this time, and on the same plane no less. After a quick thought, Liu Hun was certain that this girl was also from the City of Death.
“Kid, if you hand over the medical talks, I can pay you double the original price, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.” The girl said in a low voice, her voice intimidating, aware of the other passengers watching them.
“Sorry, I’ve already destroyed that medical talks.” Liu Hun answered, looking at the girl with some regret.
Since he had been recognized, Liu Hun decided not to hide anything.
“Destroyed? You spent 1.5 billion US dollars on something just to destroy it?” The girl, hearing this, mocked with disbelief in her eyes.
“If it was kept, it would become a disaster sooner or later. So why couldn’t I just destroy it? To others, 1.5 billion might be a terrifying number, but to me, it’s nothing.” Liu Hun said with a hint of calmness.
After Liu Hun finished speaking, both the girl and the young man stared at Liu Hun. After a moment, they turned and sat down at a nearby seat.
They could tell that Liu Hun didn’t seem to be lying. If the medical talks was truly destroyed by Liu Hun, then their aim was achieved.
However, they were puzzled as to why Liu Hun would destroy the medical talks, and in this world, even those with endless wealth wouldn’t spend 1.5 billion US dollars on a book only to destroy it.
This was equivalent to Liu Hun destroying 1.5 billion US dollars, which was no small figure. If used for other things, it could accomplish much more.
The flight from Bai City to a city near the City of Death was three hours long, and they all remained silent throughout the journey.
After getting off the plane, just as Liu Hun and Xue Lan, holding hands, were about to leave, the young man suddenly caught up with them.
After hesitating for a moment while looking at Liu Hun, he slowly said, “If you ever need anything here, you can call this number, and I’ll come right away.”
“Why?” Liu Hun could feel that this young man meant well, but he always held the belief that nothing falls from the sky.
“Because you destroyed that book, you’ve helped us with a favor. If you hadn’t bought it, we would have spent billions more. So if you need anything, consider it a favor returned.” The young man answered seriously, looking at Liu Hun.
Although neither of them knew each other’s identities, it didn’t matter as long as their objectives aligned.
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Liu Hun said, narrowing his eyes slightly, aware that this young man was not lying.
But this puzzled Liu Hun greatly. The other party also intended to destroy the book, which was too illogical.
Anyone would find it suspicious, and Liu Hun was no exception.
