He chuckled and said, "Miss Fang, where did you hear this rumor? Mr. Lou's magical powers are boundless; I have no magic weapon that can suppress him. Farewell!"
Chu Nian knew this would be the outcome; otherwise, why would she have gone to such lengths to instigate the two of them to fight?
Just as Jiuju was about to ride the wind away, he suddenly felt a tightness around his body and could no longer move. He looked down and saw that he was bound by a rope. The rope itself seemed normal, but after being bound, he had no strength left in his body, and he couldn't use any of the demonic magic he had cultivated for many years.
Chu Nian probed his body several times with her spiritual power, but found no magical treasure.
Chu Nian turned to Lou Qianzong and questioned, "Why did you make that promise with him in the first place?"
Lou Qianzong said irritably, "What's it to you?"
Chu Nian: "I'm concerned about you. That Wang Chengcheng said that Jiuju has a magic weapon that can suppress you."
Lou Qianzong remained silent.
Chu Nian thought Wang Chengcheng was right: If it weren't for the magic weapon that could suppress Lou Qianzong, given Lou Qianzong's personality and abilities, it would be strange if he made a pact with Jiuju. He would have just kicked out Jiuju's family, which would have been more like his usual style.
Chu Nian added, "I guess he probably absorbed that magic weapon into his body."
Lou Qianzong then asked, "So?"
Chu Nian raised her hand and pulled back the nine ropes binding Jiu Ju, saying, "Hurry up and fight him, force him to reveal that magic weapon, I want to see it."
Lou Qianzong snapped irritably, "Go fight him yourself!"
Chu Nian: "As you can see, I can easily tie him up with just a rope. Moreover, I have thoroughly investigated all aspects of his situation. With his abilities, he wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move from you."
He's the kind of person you could instantly kill. Yet you made a deal with him. Is it because of that magical artifact that you can't even bring yourself to attack him?
Lou Qianzong was extremely frustrated when this matter was brought up. Especially now, he learned that Chu Nian was fine when she attacked Jiu Ju, but he couldn't do the same when he attacked. He felt that the magic weapon was specially developed by someone to counter him.
Seeing that his face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot, Chu Nian knew she had guessed correctly and said, "Go and fight him. I want to see the magic weapon that can suppress you."
Lou Qianzong had no temper this time, and he unleashed a burst of magical energy at Jiuju with all his might.
Jiuju was startled. With his abilities, he had absolutely no chance to fight back against Lou Qianzong. He would be instantly defeated by Lou Qianzong before he could even make a move.
However, when Lou Qianzong's magic power struck, a protective shield naturally rose above his head, and a strange demonic blade flew up automatically from above Jiuju's head, standing proudly in the air, looking down on Lou Qianzong.
Lou Qianzong immediately felt that he could not use any of his magical power.
Little Gold, inside the spatial artifact, exclaimed in shock: "Heart-piercing!"
Tuoba Hongyuan asked, "Is it Dao Nian?"
Jin: "It's similar, but far inferior to Dao Nian."
Chu Nian stared at the knife, stroking his chin in deep thought.
Lou Qianzong said, "Once this blade is drawn, I will be unable to use any of my magical power."
"Is that so?" Chu Nian said, suddenly leaping up and flying towards the knife. He grabbed the hilt and turned to slash at Lou Qianzong's head.
Lou Qianzong stared at the blade aimed at his vital point, showing no fear whatsoever.
The knife stopped just above Lou Qianzong's head.
Lou Qianzong asked, puzzled, "What exactly do you want?" It was impossible for Chu Nian to really want to kill him. So he had guessed from the start that the knife would stop when it reached his head.
However, as soon as he spoke, he noticed that Chu Nian's expression was off. Chu Nian seemed to be gripping the knife with all her might, trying to press the knife down on herself.
He looked up at the knife above his head, puzzled. The blade was only an inch away from him, yet he couldn't get any closer.
"Silly boy, did you even understand anything?" Chu Nian asked.
Lou Qianzong pondered, "It...it won't really cut me?!"
Chu Nian said, "Not only that." With that, she flung out countless ice blades that attacked Lou Qianzong. But just as these ice blades reached an inch in front of Lou Qianzong, the sword suddenly emitted a beam of light, blocking all of them.
Lou Qianzong stared in disbelief.
Chu Nian flung the knife away.
Because the knife had already been refined by Jiuju, it automatically returned to Jiuju's body as soon as she released it.
Jiuju was also bewildered by what had just happened: a hundred years ago, when he faced Lou Qianzong, he was only able to survive thanks to this ancestral treasured sword. At that time, he discovered that although this treasured sword could prevent Lou Qianzong from using his magic power, it was completely incapable of actually attacking Lou Qianzong.
Lou Qianzong always believed that this knife could truly suppress the magical power within his body, which is why he agreed to make a deal with Jiuju.
Neither Lou Qianzong nor Jiu Juyisheng ever imagined that this knife would actually protect Lou Qianzong when he was attacked.
Lou Qianzong asked, puzzled, "What exactly is going on?"
Chu Nian chuckled helplessly, "Hmph, brat, I knew it!"
Lou Qianzong: "How would I know?"
Chu Nian said irritably, "Then you should think about it yourself!"
Xiao Jin said, "This knife is not the real Hellfire Demon Knife, it should just be a fake. The real Hellfire Demon Knife is much stronger than this."
Chu Nian: "This knife isn't weak, but its purpose is 'protection,' which is completely different from the killing function of other knives. Also, is the 'heart-piercing' thing you mentioned really the knife's intent?"
Xiao Jin: "From the outside, yes. However, now that we have the knife from the Jiuju family... it's clear that knives that look the same can have completely different uses. So I'm not sure if the knife's intent is about cutting into the heart."
While Chu Nian was communicating with Xiao Jin, he had already arrived in front of Jiu Juyisheng on the wind and said, "Tell me the origin of this knife."
Jiuju has now witnessed her abilities firsthand. When this woman stood before him, he felt his legs trembling and obediently replied, "This is something passed down in my family, and it has a history of hundreds of years."
Chu Nian: "Before it came to your house, who did it belong to? And how did your family get it? There should be an explanation for that!"
Jiuju said helplessly, "This, I really don't know!"
Chu Nian pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'd like to visit your Jiuju family now. I hope you won't be unwelcome!"
"Huh?" Jiuju's eyelids twitched, and she felt her vision going black in waves.
"What are you 'ah' about? Let's hurry up and go!" Chu Nian urged. "Lead the way."
Jiuju: "Miss Fang, no, Senior Fang, let's talk this out. I promise I'll never use this knife again, okay?"
