Chapter 119: Prepare to Draw the Sword
He took a deep breath, calmed his inner excitement, and slowly began to approach the two-headed hellhound.
There was a faint spiritual energy lingering around him. Although it was not enough to change the situation of the battle, it made him feel a little relieved.
The two-headed hellhound stared at him quietly, its huge eyes full of anticipation, as if it was also waiting for this moment to come.
Shangguan Jiannan moved forward step by step, taking every step carefully, holding the sword tightly in his hand, alert to everything around him.
Even though the two-headed hellhound had deliberately avoided him, his vigilance was not diminished at all.
He knew that if he made the slightest mistake, he would be doomed.
As he got closer, the heat emanating from the hellhound became stronger, but at this distance, it had weakened a lot.
His eyes swept across the scales that were burning like flames, and the heat that came towards him almost made him want to retreat.
However, he knew that he could not retreat, because that sword was the goal of his journey and the hope in his heart.
At this moment, countless rays of light suddenly appeared, illuminating this distorted space.
A trace of determination flashed in Shangguan Jiannan's eyes. He knew that at this moment, he had to go all out.
He leaped forward suddenly, and the sword in his hand turned into a stream of light, going straight for the mysterious sword hidden in the chest of the two-headed hellhound.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze.
Shangguan Jiannan had only one thought in his mind: no matter what the result was, he would try his best to fight for it.
Because he knew that wealth and poverty, life and death are often just a matter of a moment.
An ominous dark gold aura quietly overflowed from the top of the pitch-black scabbard, and then gathered into a tide in the chest area, and golden light raged like a raging wave.
The two-headed hellhound made a panting sound, accompanied by heavy breathing. Every breath it took seemed to bring up a heat wave, forcing Shangguan Jiannan to stagger back, his clothes rustling in the wind.
In this frenzy of air, Shangguan Jiannan was like a boat sailing against the current, approaching the two-headed beast step by step with determination.
Finally, he stood under the giant, looking up at its mountain-like body, with indescribable shock surging in his heart.
As far as the eye can see, a long sword is deeply embedded in its body, with only the remaining hilt flashing a dazzling golden light in the sight. The golden light from all around is gathering like a tide, and the speed is so fast that it is astonishing.
Seeing this scene, Shangguan Jiannan paused involuntarily and was secretly horrified.
All around, low and suppressed sobs came one after another, like a call from the underworld, making the air freeze.
"Let's fight!" Shangguan Jiannan shouted in his heart, his face suddenly turned cold, and he took a step forward resolutely, heading straight for the two-headed hellhound.
The giant beast's body was like a solid wall. Wherever the sword pierced, the swirling flames could not shake it at all.
On the contrary, the giant beast's body began to twist slowly, as if it was struggling in some unknown way.
Shangguan Jiannan's eyes were fixed on the hilt of the sword, with an unprecedented solemnity.
He took a deep breath, as if to concentrate all his courage and determination in this moment.
Then, he lunged forward, tightly grasping the hilt of the sword covered in golden light with both hands.
"Ah——!" A heart-wrenching scream pierced the sky, which was the witness of Shangguan Jiannan's fierce battle with the power of golden light.
His hands seemed to be burned by flames and the pain was unbearable, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, vowing to pull the mysterious sword out of the giant beast's body.
At this moment, he seemed to have merged with the power of heaven and earth, witnessing this thrilling contest together.
The hilt of the sword was tightly gripped, and in an instant, a deafening roar echoed in the air - "Roar, roar, roar!" This shocking roar did not come from anywhere else, but from the mouth of the two-headed hellhound. The sound was like a tide, surging and surging, sweeping around in an instant.
At this moment, the body of the two-headed hellhound seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, twisting violently, accompanied by bursts of shrill screams, which was the painful sound of being torn by countless golden lights.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Shangguan Jiannan felt a vast and boundless force suddenly attacking him. Before he could react, he was hit hard like a kite with a broken string.
The force was so strong that it was enough to shake the mountains and rivers. It threw Shangguan Jiannan's body into the air and finally fell heavily to the ground, stirring up dust. The ground was cracked by the blow, and the cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.
"Boom!" After the loud noise, there was silence all around, and only Shangguan Jiannan's painful groan broke the silence.
He struggled to get up, his face full of unwillingness and anger: "I just wanted to draw my sword and give it a try, but I didn't expect to be treated like this!" As he spoke, he was burning with rage, as if he wanted to burn the whole world to ashes.
In the distance, the two-headed hellhound's body twisted slightly and made a low whimpering sound, as if responding to Shangguan Jiannan's roar.
The air around them gradually became fresh, the previous burning sensation disappeared, and the flames where the mysterious sword was located slowly went out, revealing its true appearance.
Shangguan Jiannan looked at this scene with mixed feelings in his heart, and sighed: "Alas! If this sword was not a ground-level secret treasure, how could I be so obsessed with it?"
However, even though he was extremely reluctant, he knew that he had to keep moving forward, because the temptation of the unknown sword was enough to drive any strong man crazy, including top masters like Guo Polu.
"I must get it no matter what!" Shangguan Jiannan's eyes became firm and resolute, as if he was ready to face all difficulties.
He knew very well that the road ahead would be full of unknowns and challenges, but for the legendary sword, he was willing to make every effort and pay every price.
"It's not because of the terrifying two-headed hellhound, but because of the peerless sword in my hand."
The tacit cooperation of the two-headed hellhound invisibly paved a convenient road for him.
Shangguan Jiannan made up his mind, clenched his teeth, and stepped as fast as lightning, stepping resolutely into the unknown abyss again.
With the lessons learned from the previous incident, he was more cautious this time, taking every step carefully as he navigated through the blazing heat that seemed to be able to melt gold and spark stone.
As the distance shortened, Shangguan Jiannan took a deep breath, his eyes as sharp as torches, focused on the place where thousands of golden lights converged - a long sword, shining brightly.
He stretched out his hands without hesitation, and powerful spiritual energy surged instantly, wrapping his hands, as if preparing for the next feat.
Suddenly, he gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and concentrated his strength to the peak. Only a dense and crisp sound was heard, like the collision of metal and stone, echoing in this space.
The golden light covering the two-headed hellhound that had originally attempted to obstruct him was now like nothing to him and did not cause any hindrance at all.
Shangguan Jiannan could clearly sense that the two-headed hellhound was trembling violently because of his actions, and its pain was beyond words.
Although the low roar was suppressed into a whimper, it still revealed his inner struggle and unwillingness.
The huge body struggled in the golden light, but it was in vain.
Shangguan Jiannan was fully focused, always alert to changes around him.
After a few breaths, he no longer saw the repulsive force as before, and he felt relieved, knowing that the two-headed hellhound was also struggling and unwilling to give up easily.
