Chapter 170: The Appearance of a Demonic Weapon

After driving away Xiao Bei, who had eagerly gathered all the shattered crystals of the Thousand-Year Corpse King, Kai Xin found a relatively clean spot, sat down, and held the Thousand-Year Corpse King’s right arm in his left hand.
However, from the moment Kai Xin picked it up, the right arm underwent drastic changes. All the flesh, blood, and bones inside it turned to ashes, leaving behind an empty shell covered in twisted, demonic muscle patterns. Its fingers were splayed, and its claws were long and metallic, emitting a terrifying colored glow, along with a nauseating stench.
Thousand-Year Corpse King’s Right Arm: (Lower-tier demonic weapon. The exiled Thousand-Year Corpse King’s arm mutated under the influence of corpse energy and special drugs, becoming a unique weapon.) Increases lethality by 380 points, attack speed by 20% (only applicable to fist-based martial arts), boosts innate strength by 20 points and arm strength by 20 points. Comes with tearing damage effects (enemies have a chance to suffer continuous bleeding) and severe poison effects (poison takes effect upon contact with blood, reducing ability by 20%).
“It’s actually a demonic weapon…”
Kai Xin took a deep breath and stroked the muscle patterns on the arm, his face filled with delight. “What a great item!!!”
In “Jianghu,” there are even more powerful weapons beyond famous ones!
Divided into various tiers, demonic weapons are one type of such weapon. Though their effects are not as strong as true divine weapons, they possess special attributes that, when fully utilized, can result in astonishing lethality.
The chance of obtaining a divine weapon is extremely low—seeing one among ten million people is already fortunate. As for Kai Xin, who only knew how to train, he managed to qualify for the global top-16 finals thanks to the “Forging System” that allowed him to assemble a set of top-tier famous weapons comparable to divine weapons.
Although this item was just a lower-tier demonic weapon with less obvious lethal properties, its boosts to innate strength and arm strength were unmatched by many famous weapons! Players with rare innate attributes could even practice advanced fist-based martial arts that required high levels of innate strength and arm strength…
Additionally, the tearing and poisoning effects were extremely intimidating to enemies!
Being able to obtain a lower-tier demonic weapon under such circumstances left Kai Xin both shocked and awed…
It seemed fate had mercy on him for his hard work in his past life, when he remained unknown for three years, allowing him to turn his luck around in this life.

Thinking of this, Happy removed the Jade Silkworm Hand, took a deep breath, then stretched out his right arm to grasp the weapon that seemed to emit an eerie and deadly aura.
Boom!!
The moment it entered the Arm of the Thousand-Year Corpse King, a thunderclap suddenly rang out in the sky above the mass grave!
Dark clouds covered the sun, and thunder rumbled ominously—seemingly warning the world that a demonic weapon had appeared!
The Arm of the Thousand-Year Corpse King seemed to come to life; its rigid shell suddenly softened and obediently clung to Happy’s arm. Black muscle patterns writhed strangely from the shoulders down to the fingers, fitting seamlessly against every inch of skin, perfectly displaying powerful muscle curves.
“Crack…”
A series of sounds like bursting beans came from Happy’s hand.
“Ha!”
Happy was astonished to feel an invisible force flowing from the weapon into his body. His body seemed to be adapting to the changes in the weapon, growing stronger, while a powerful urge to burst forth seemed imminent!
Of course, Happy wouldn’t let the demonic weapon affect him. He quickly calmed his excitement, spreading his fingers—resembling the claws of a ghost returning from the netherworld—open and closing in front of him, emitting a harsh “zzz” sound…
Happy examined his new arm carefully: dark, strong, sharp, and carrying a demonic allure that made one feel trapped within it. He thought, No wonder those who obtained divine weapons in their past lives were so arrogant!
With a divine weapon in hand, one’s combat strength seemed to double.
After adapting to it for a while, Happy removed the demonic weapon and took out from his Qi Bag the small pouch containing the loot taken from the Arm of the Thousand-Year Corpse King.
“What is this?”
Inside the pouch, aside from a copy of “The Book of Thousand Poisons” and some equipment, there was also a rather strange pear-shaped metal object that immediately captured Happy’s attention.
Taking it out to look…
The pear-shaped metal object resembled a precise component, with many tiny holes as fine as cow hairs. Amidst its darkness, it exuded a mysterious aura that made one feel uneasy.
After careful identification, it gradually matched something in his memory.
His heart trembled violently as he gasped in shock. He became solemn once again and examined the killing weapon in his hand carefully:
The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle!
A deadly secret weapon of the Tang Sect.
It was said to contain hundreds of special projectiles capable of breaking through martial artists’ protective barriers and vital energy. Once released, they would kill all living beings within fifty meters—too fast to avoid! Its value was no less than that of the “Poison-Dispelling Pill” or the “Corpse King Pearl”.
“It seems this is the precious treasure on the Arm of the Thousand-Year Corpse King.”

Kai Xin nodded silently in joy, but soon realized he still had another magic weapon in his possession. If this rare treasure was the “Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle,” then lower-grade magic weapons were even more superior—how could that be explained?
It was somewhat difficult to explain: “Could it be… that the first Millennium Corpse King is of an even higher quality than ordinary Millennium Corpse Kings?” Kai Xin mused wildly.
Since it couldn’t be explained, he decided to set it aside. He then checked the other treasures obtained from the Millennium Corpse King. Besides a pair of “Ghost King Boots,” there was also a “Yellow Dragon Bow.” Two neatly symmetrical rows of bow wings supported the bow body, making it easy to draw, yet its power was several times greater, increasing lethality by as much as 400 points. Its drawing speed was also much faster than that of ordinary bows—clearly a top-tier masterpiece.
However, Kai Xin had no intention of learning archery at the moment, as it was too time-consuming. So, it would be best to sell these weapons internally to the brothers of the Colorful Clothing Sect.
With that thought, Kai Xin sent a message to Feng Wu Cai Yi via carrier pigeon.
“Did you get several top-notch martial arts manuals so quickly?!”
Feng Wu Cai Yi replied quickly, her words filled with excitement: “Send me the information about the martial arts. I’ll ask around… Oh, you can send me that ‘Demonic Subduing Staff Technique’ now. I’ve prepared everything. Go to the pawnshop later and send everything together.”
“…”
Kai Xin sent over the information about the “Ten Thousand Poisons Palm” and the other two top-notch martial arts manuals he had acquired in Luoyang City, then packed up and left the graveyard. It was now system protection time—once 24 hours passed, the items on him would become unsafe.
Since he was going to send things to Feng Wu Cai Yi anyway, it would be better to store them all at the bank.
Unexpectedly, on his way back to Luoyang, Kai Xin saw a martial artist at the city gate, wearing a conical hat and holding a sword.
The man held his sword against his chest, with thick brows and large eyes. Two charming small mustaches gave him an air of constant slight smiling, making him seem sly yet approachable.
On the city wall behind him, there was a notice printed with a bright red “Blood Handprint”…
