The God-Slaying Spear felt the entire magical treasure shudder. In that very moment, it had almost been carried away with the departure of the defensive grand array, letting out a gasp of alarm.
This grand array of magical treasures, concocted by Xu Fang, was indeed formidable. One blast had obliterated its own defensive formation. How was this to be played?
With a single shot from the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, the defensive grand array that the God-Slaying Spear prided itself upon was destroyed. The God-Slaying Spear was then completely exposed, manifesting in that location.
"There really is a treasure!"
This time, even the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the other two understood with absolute clarity.
The treasure that emerged below was a spear that appeared unadorned and even somewhat broken, looking dilapidated. Even its shaft was decayed, existing in form but not in substance.
Only the spearhead was still somewhat presentable, but it too was covered in rust, appearing rather useless.
However, even so, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the other two dared not underestimate it.
For at this moment, as the long spear appeared, boundless killing intent surged forth from it, instantly permeating the area.
Even with the obstruction of the magical treasure grand array, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the other two could still feel the palpable killing intent flowing through.
This was a grand array of magical treasures, the might of countless treasures piled together. Yet, this killing intent could still penetrate. This only proved the treasure's terrifying power!
"Such killing intent reminds me of a treasure," the Golden-Winged Great Peng said, stroking his chin.
Ao Xue nodded, understanding what he meant, and spoke in agreement.
"Indeed, in this world, perhaps only the God-Slaying Spear of the legendary Demon Ancestor Luohu possesses such might!"
Only the little Qilin knew little of these grand affairs of heaven and earth. Hearing the exclamations of his two elder brothers and sister, he gazed at the God-Slaying Spear below, filled with uncertainty.
"The God-Slaying Spear of the Demon Ancestor Luohu? This is it?"
The little Qilin shook his head repeatedly. Although the killing intent looked astonishing, was this dilapidated spear truly the God-Slaying Spear used by the Demon Ancestor Luohu back then?
It was far from the majestic appearance he had imagined, making it impossible for the Qilin to accept!
The God-Slaying Spear, still immersed in the shock of that blast, became indignant upon hearing the little Qilin's words and roared.
"Why are you so sharp-tongued? No one would think you were a mute Qilin if you stayed quiet!"
It was precisely this little Qilin who had just said that a treasure with a rusted mind would be here. Now, it was judging a treasure by its appearance, which the God-Slaying Spear found utterly intolerable.
How could it be considered a top-tier treasure in heaven and earth, a close associate of the Demon Ancestor Luohu, yet in the mouth of this little Qilin, it was nothing but scrap metal?
After cursing, the God-Slaying Spear saw the little Qilin still staring blankly and realized with even more frustration that it could not hear its voice.
Therefore, it wasted no more words and directly unleashed its power.
Instantly, light flashed. The broken spear shaft could not withstand the pressure and shattered, dissipating into nothingness.
Only the spearhead, brimming with killing intent, moved instantly towards the little Qilin, wanting to show this brat what a fierce and malevolent treasure of heaven's way was!
The little Qilin felt a surge of panic as it watched the spearhead fly rapidly towards it, becoming utterly flustered.
At this critical juncture, the Heaven-Measuring Ruler's voice rang out.
"Hey, hey, hey, why such a short temper? This isn't how you play. Stop right there!"
As the Heaven-Measuring Ruler spoke, it immediately shifted to the magical treasure Gatling gun. Light flowed, and the muzzle directly spat flames.
Bang, bang, bang!
Countless sounds echoed. Blue fire erupted from the stone muzzle, and the power of myriad magical treasures transformed into bullets, flying directly at the God-Slaying Spear.
The God-Slaying Spear, seeing the sky full of bullets rushing towards it and feeling a great sense of crisis, hastily stopped its advance and used its killing intent to defend.
However, under the rain-like barrage of bullets, the God-Slaying Spear's killing intent was quickly pierced through. The spear's form was battered, forcing it to retreat repeatedly. The bullets struck the God-Slaying Spear, clanging loudly.
"Alright, alright, enough is enough!"
The God-Slaying Spear cried out in pain, repeatedly calling for the Heaven-Measuring Ruler to stop.
However, the Heaven-Measuring Ruler turned a deaf ear, firing bullets as if they were free. Well, they were indeed free, for with the support of the hoard of magical treasures below, the Heaven-Measuring Ruler merely needed to activate it and control its direction.
This was torment for the God-Slaying Spear. As a fearsome treasure of heaven's way, it could not even condense its killing intent under such power, and could only rely on its physical form to resist.
Soon, the God-Slaying Spear, which was now only a spearhead, was battered and riddled with holes by the magical treasure bullets. However, in the process, the rust was completely removed, leaving it gleaming and polished.
Yet, the God-Slaying Spear, as the victimized treasure, had no inclination to appreciate this transformation and cried out repeatedly.
"Enough! Heaven-Measuring Ruler, stop!"
"Xu Fang! Stop! I know you can hear me, quickly tell this Heaven-Measuring Ruler to stop!"
Seeing that the Heaven-Measuring Ruler was enjoying itself and was uncommunicative, the God-Slaying Spear could only shout at Xu Fang.
Upon hearing this, Xu Fang smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"Alright, Brother Ruler, spare the treasure. That's enough."
He intended to subdue the God-Slaying Spear this time. Letting the magical treasures act on their own just moments ago was merely to make the God-Slaying Spear aware of their strength.
Now that he saw the God-Slaying Spear was unable to resist, Xu Fang instructed the Heaven-Measuring Ruler to cease.
He didn't want to accidentally damage the God-Slaying Spear and make his trip in vain.
After receiving Xu Fang's command, the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, still unsatisfied, could only stop, feeling a sense of regret and lamenting.
"Alas! God-Slaying Spear, you say we are both spears, but you, the God-Slaying Spear, are clearly inferior to the magical treasure gun in my hand, aren't you?"
"..."
What else could the God-Slaying Spear say? Although its damage was far less than before, it was still a top-tier treasure in heaven and earth.
Yet, its defensive grand array was destroyed with a single shot, and it, who commanded awe in the Primordial Era with its name, was utterly defenseless against this magical treasure gun.
If this were to spread, where would it hide its face?
However, after a moment of stunned silence, the God-Slaying Spear still stubbornly defended itself.
"Can you blame me? Your side is constantly tinkering with these strange and unusual things day in and day out. I've been isolated in this sea of chaos. If you demand so much, you're making things difficult for me!"
Though it said this, the God-Slaying Spear couldn't help but marvel. This magical treasure gun, with the enhancement of other magical treasures, actually possessed power comparable to a fierce and malevolent treasure of heaven's way like itself. This was not to be underestimated!
Gazing at the magical treasure gun that was still emitting faint smoke, the God-Slaying Spear's thoughts began to waver slightly.
In fact, if Xu Fang's side was so powerful, it wasn't impossible for it to join them.
After all, the God-Slaying Spear was not a treasure that courted death. If it couldn't win, then joining them, could that be called cowardice?
That was called being wise and discerning the situation!
