The blade was about half a meter long and about half a palm wide. The handle was carved with patterns, making it very comfortable to grip.
Whether it was an illusion or not, when Du Fei drew the sword from its sheath, he felt as if the sword had been activated.
It was as if the sword in his hand possessed a soul of its own.
Du Fei faintly received a response from the sword.
"Du Fei, Du Fei."
Just then, Fang Chao's voice called out from beside him.
Du Fei turned his head. "What's wrong, Fang Chao?"
"I saw you staring at the sword for a long time, like you were stunned, so I wanted to ask what happened."
Fang Chao had called out to Du Fei loudly because, as he turned his head, he noticed Du Fei staring intently at the sword in his hand, his gaze unmoving, which struck him as odd.
Du Fei shook his head, indicating nothing was wrong.
Seeing this, Fang Chao didn't press further.
"Right, how's the armor you have?"
Upon hearing Du Fei's question about the armor, Fang Chao's face lit up with excitement, and he shared his findings with Du Fei.
After some testing, Fang Chao discovered that the armor in the secret chamber was incredibly sturdy. His full-force strike couldn't leave even a scratch.
The most magical aspect of the armor was that, despite its metallic appearance and rigidity, it felt remarkably light when worn. Furthermore, its material was unknown, yet it possessed elasticity, which truly amazed Fang Chao.
Hearing Fang Chao's description, Du Fei also became interested in the armor he held.
He took the armor from Fang Chao's hands and tried it on.
Indeed, just as Fang Chao described, the armor could adjust its size freely. Although Du Fei was considerably taller than Fang Chao, it fit him perfectly after being worn.
Since the armor was so miraculous, the sword Du Fei held, discovered alongside it, was naturally no ordinary item.
Next, Du Fei turned the blade upwards and plucked a strand of hair from his head.
Du Fei placed the plucked hair onto the blade and then released his hand.
Affected by gravity, the hair naturally fell and was directly severed in two by the blade.
Subsequently, Du Fei used the sword to try cutting other objects in the secret chamber, whether they were walls or anything else.
Du Fei could easily slice through everything with minimal effort.
This sword was undoubtedly a legendary divine weapon, capable of cutting through iron like mud and severing a strand of hair in the air. Its sharpness was evident.
"This is great. With these two treasures in hand, we now have the strength to fight that giant python outside."
Upon seeing the sword's sharpness and the armor's sturdiness, Fang Chao's expression became extremely excited.
Previously, even though he and Du Fei had wanted to confront the python, their attacks felt like mere tickles, incapable of inflicting any damage.
But now, with a sharp weapon and protective armor, they both felt a sense of confidence.
"Esteemed hero, we don't know what era you are from, but your weapons and armor are of great help to us in escaping this place. Besides, leaving these items here would be like hiding a pearl in the dust. It would be better for them to see the light of day once more."
Although Du Fei and Fang Chao had made their decision, the sword and armor clearly belonged to the skeleton in the secret chamber.
Therefore, the two sincerely bowed to the skeleton and then used the sword to dig a pit in a corner of the chamber and bury his remains.
Rest in peace, this was the only thing Du Fei and Fang Chao could do for him.
Afterward, Du Fei and Fang Chao retraced their steps, intending to engage the python in a decisive battle.
Upon reaching the cave entrance.
"Du Fei, why don't I go?"
Looking at Du Fei, clad in armor and wielding the sword, Fang Chao couldn't help but speak up.
Since the sword and armor were a set, only one person could equip them, meaning either Du Fei or Fang Chao had to face the python alone.
The other person would have to wait in the cave for news, as going out without them would be futile, unable to inflict any damage on the python.
"Didn't we already agree? Just wait here for my good news."
After a discussion, they had decided that Du Fei would wear the armor and wield the sword to duel the python.
Du Fei naturally understood what Fang Chao was thinking; he was concerned for his safety.
However, no matter who went, there was a degree of risk. Du Fei nodded at Fang Chao and slowly swam out of the cave.
The cold潭 water enveloped Du Fei once more. He quickly began to swim to prevent his limbs from freezing.
The giant python had disappeared, and the pool was silent. Du Fei could only swim upwards for now.
As he swam, Du Fei suddenly felt a premonition and quickly dodged to the side.
Bang!
The wall behind where Du Fei had been was struck with immense force.
Du Fei regained his senses and saw the giant python from before.
This creature had actually learned to ambush.
It had intended to launch a surprise attack on Du Fei before he could detect its presence.
However, at the last moment, Du Fei's premonition had allowed him to evade its strike.
The giant python, having missed its target, immediately opened its mouth and lunged at Du Fei.
As the python's mouth opened, it was as tall as a person. If it had bitten Du Fei, it would have undoubtedly swallowed him whole.
Swish.
Du Fei forcefully pushed off the wall behind him, propelling himself forward like an arrow loosed from a bow.
However, this time, Du Fei wasn't just dodging. As he passed by the python, he thrust his sword into its body.
Thwack.
The treasure sword found from beside the skeleton in the cave certainly lived up to its reputation of cutting iron like mud and severing hair.
Earlier, Du Fei and Fang Chao had fought desperately but couldn't inflict any damage on the python.
Yet now, with a simple swing of his sword, Du Fei easily pierced the python's flesh.
The giant python hadn't expected that in a mere half-hour, Du Fei would go from being able to tickle it to being able to harm it.
In immense pain, the python thrashed wildly.
Its movements churned the pool, and the water around Du Fei seemed as if it would tear him apart.
Du Fei almost lost his grip on the sword that was still lodged in the python's body.
Slash.
Du Fei exerted all his strength, holding onto the precious sword, as the violently churning water tossed him around.
During this thrashing, Du Fei's sword ripped a long gash across the python's body.
Subsequently, a torrent of snake blood poured from the python's wounds.
Du Fei initially tried to dodge, but there was too much blood, and his precious sword was still stuck in the python.
Thus, Du Fei was quickly engulfed by the snake blood.
Fortunately, the snake blood was not poisonous, and Du Fei remained unharmed.
