The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2263: Chapter 2263: Who Could Resist Something Like This?

Carson Flores was deeply shocked.

If this really is a sword, then what everyone saw before, the thing like a spire, was just the end of the hilt, and the cylindrical metal engraved with countless formation patterns was just the hilt, the massive metal extending sideways was the cross-guard, and further down, the enormous steel slope was the blade, and it was just one side of the blade.

How large is this sword?

The length of the hilt alone is at least several kilometers, and if we consider the usual ratio of hilt to blade on a long sword is around 1:3, wouldn’t this sword be over ten kilometers long, or even longer?

Why is such a gigantic sword appearing underwater?

How was this bottomless body of water formed?

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Carson Flores’ mind in an instant, and the three people ahead also sensed that something was amiss with this object and were discussing it softly. Carson Flores transmitted his voice: ”This is a sword, a colossal sword!”

The three people’s faces all changed slightly, and upon careful consideration of the places they had passed by and the scenes they had seen, everyone accepted Carson Flores’ speculation.

This truly is a sword!

Orion Watson said somberly: ”There are no signs of human cultivators in this world, only magical beasts, so how did this sword come to be here?”

Virelia Jaramillo’s eyes showed a hint of fear: ”Such a terrifying sword, what kind of great might would be needed to wield it?”

Wyrella Holt stared at the dark depths below and suddenly spoke: ”Have you noticed that the deeper we go, the higher the concentration of demonic qi?”

Everyone was taken aback, and upon careful perception, it was indeed so.

Orion Watson said solemnly: ”Could there be something at the bottom of this water that is emitting demonic qi?”

Everyone exchanged glances and found this possibility quite likely.

Wyrella Holt said in a deep voice: ”Demonic qi can mutate these demonic beasts, rendering them irrational and turning them into merely murderous magical beasts. If there is something below emitting demonic qi, could it be responsible for creating countless magical beasts in this water area, and could it be related to this giant sword?”

A thought flashed through Carson Flores’ mind, and he said softly: ”Water evaporates, transforms into vapor, rises into the air, then flows with the wind, turns into rain, and returns to the earth. During this endless cycle, countless demonic qi would be released into the entire world...”

Virelia Jaramillo widened her eyes in shock: ”Are you suggesting this body of water created all the magical beasts in the world?”

Carson Flores laughed: ”I’m just proposing a possibility; after all, the formation of magical beasts stems from demonic qi, and demonic qi doesn’t conjure out of thin air; there’s always a cause...”

Virelia Jaramillo thought for a while and nodded in agreement: ”Considering the depth of the hilt, we’re at least ten kilometers from the bottom here, and the demonic qi is already so dense here, how dense must it be further down? Thinking this way, what Fellow Flores said might be possible.”

Orion Watson said coldly and solemnly: ”Then what is down there? And might we face danger if we go down?”

Wyrella Holt said seriously: ”No matter what, we’ve come this far, we have to explore a bit, don’t we?”

Of course, everyone had this idea; no matter what was below, who could resist exploring such an enormous sword?

Wyrella Holt approached the blade, extended a finger, and flicked it, producing a crisp sound. After careful observation, Wyrella Holt’s face showed astonishment: ”This is Dark Cloud Gold, very rare and incredibly hard, it’s an excellent material for artifact refining. The amount of Dark Cloud Gold needed for such a large sword must be immense!”

Carson Flores asked: ”The value of this sword must be very high, right?”

Wyrella Holt pressed close to the sword’s body for further inspection, then looked up with eyes full of burning brilliance: ”The sheer amount of Dark Cloud Gold alone already represents a wealth that could drive anyone crazy, not to mention this sword employs extremely advanced crafting techniques...”

Virelia Jaramillo asked: ”What crafting techniques?”

Wyrella Holt pondered for a few seconds: ”I don’t know.”

Virelia Jaramillo widened her eyes with a look of shock: ”If I remember correctly, you should be an elder of the Sect Refining Artifact Pavilion, yet you can’t tell what crafting techniques these are?”

Wyrella Holt’s expression was slightly embarrassed: ”I am, but I genuinely can’t identify the crafting techniques used; I can perceive some of the ingenious methods but cannot fully understand them...”

Orion Watson said somberly: ”So, this is some kind of unfamiliar and very powerful crafting technique?”

”Yes!”

Wyrella Holt nodded affirmatively: ”Precisely because of this, the value of this sword is immeasurable...”

Speaking up to this point, Orion Watson, Wyrella Holt, and Virelia Jaramillo exchanged a glance, revealing a hint of greed in each other’s eyes.

Obviously, upon realizing the value of the sword, all three began to feel greedy.

Carson Flores was, of course, extremely curious about this sword, but such a gigantic sword couldn’t be carried away even if it was given to him!

Not to mention Carson Flores, even if handed to the three Great Land Immortals like Orion Watson, they might not be able to move it, after all, who could budge such a massive and heavy sword relying solely on their strength?
