In fact, Li Chang'an knew that even without Tao Yaojun's iron chain for support, he would not fall in.
Although she was pulled by a force, once the entire blade of Xuanmang was submerged in the pool, a counterforce prevented the hilt from going in.
In this way, Li Chang'an, who was holding the hilt of the knife, was naturally able to maintain his balance by relying on that force.
Just as the two were talking, the dagger suddenly emitted a series of low humming sounds.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chang'an saw another whirlpool appear on the water surface centered on the dagger.
The whirlpool was originally just a small circle, but it gradually expanded outwards and became larger and larger, while at the same time causing the pool water to rotate slowly.
It's here!
Upon seeing this, Li Chang'an's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to observe the situation on the water's surface intently.
Before long, a layer of dark, viscous substance appeared on the surface of the water at a speed visible to the naked eye. The pool water, which was originally just a little murky, was now completely bottomless.
The top layer of something that looked particularly dirty, after flowing slowly for a while, began to flow along the whirlpool in the center of the pool, and then gradually converged towards the blade of the dagger in Li Chang'an's hand.
Seeing the changes in the pool water, Tao Yaojun's eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Why is the pool water getting muddier and muddier?"
Li Chang'an did not give an answer, because she was currently struggling to resist the mysterious light in her hand.
For some reason, Li Chang'an suddenly felt that the dagger seemed to contain a soul that had been sleeping for a long time, and now, because of the pool of water, the thing inside was beginning to stir, as if it wanted to break free from the shackles that he could not see at all.
After another struggle, Li Chang'an's entire arm trembled violently, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
She watched as the filth flowed faster and faster toward the blade, and felt increasingly that the dagger in her hand was slipping out of her control.
"What...what's going on?"
Just then, Tao Yaojun suddenly spoke up in surprise.
He noticed that the outermost edge of the pool water had become clear, and the clump of grime on top had shrunk considerably compared to when it first appeared.
What surprised him even more was that the paint on the inner edge of the pool wall, which had turned gray and dark, had now returned to its original state, reflecting the outermost pool water and revealing a bright green color, so clean that it was crystal clear.
"Don't worry, it'll be ready in a minute!"
No sooner had Li Chang'an finished speaking than she was suddenly thrown out by a powerful force from nowhere, and then she was thrown into the air!
Even in this situation, Li Chang'an still gripped the hilt of the dagger tightly and did not let go.
She held the mysterious light in her hand, and it left the water and flew into the air.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chang'an and Tao Yaojun witnessed a very unbelievable scene.
Even after the dagger left the water, it still clung to the clump of filth in the pool, looking as if it had been scooped up and dragged out a piece of black silk, without separating them at all.
The blade was now completely submerged in filth, and apart from the vague shape of the blade, the only other recognizable part was the hilt in Li Chang'an's hand.
Just then, Li Chang'an suddenly felt an excruciating pain in her palm, as if she had been electrocuted. She instinctively let go, and the mysterious light shot down into the pool like an arrow.
With a soft splash, the entire dagger was submerged in the pool.
Then, Li Chang'an fell down like a kite with a broken string.
"Watch out!"
Tao Yaojun suddenly came to his senses. He leaped up and forcefully swung the iron chain wrapped around Li Chang'an's ankle upwards.
Li Chang'an also quickly used Tao Yaojun's tools to stabilize his body. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, stepped on the iron chain, and leaped towards the edge of the pool. Then he stretched out his second foot and stepped on the pool wall, finally landing steadily on the ground.
This series of fluid movements amazed Tao Yaojun, who almost couldn't help but applaud.
This skill truly lives up to her reputation as the fearsome female war goddess of Sheng Nan Kingdom, and even more so to the fact that she is a woman that even a weirdo like Feng Beichuan couldn't handle despite all his efforts.
However, Li Chang'an remained calm and composed, as if she had simply taken a few steps like an ordinary person.
Before Tao Yaojun could even offer a few words of flattery, Li Chang'an had already turned back to continue observing the movements in the pool.
Seeing this, Tao Yaojun quickly went over as well. At this moment, most of the grime on the surface of the pool had disappeared.
The dagger now stands upright in the center of the water, and the vortex spreading out from the blade is spinning faster and faster, as if a bottomless black hole is hidden in the middle.
Before long, the last bit of dirt on the water's surface was also swept into the whirlpool and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The pool water finally returned to calm, and under the illumination of the ever-burning lamps on the cave ceiling, it looked shimmering and very vivid.
Xuanmang, as if it had completed its mission, remained motionless, as if nothing had happened. It seemed to have become an ordinary dagger once again.
"This works?! Hey, how come you..."
Tao Yaojun was so shocked when he saw the hot spring water return to normal that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, but the next second, he saw Li Chang'an lift his foot and leap towards the center of the pool.
Looking at the woman's graceful figure, Tao Yaojun felt somewhat confused, so she couldn't help but call out to Li Chang'an's back.
Li Chang'an then performed a light skimming motion on the hot spring pool, effortlessly reaching the center of the water as if walking on flat ground.
Then she stretched out one foot and gently kicked it, and the dagger floating in the pool flew into the air with a small splash of water, and was then steadily held in Li Chang'an's hand.
At the same time, Li Chang'an turned around and easily returned using the same moves he had just used.
"Wow, that's incredible! How did you do that? What secret is hidden inside that dagger? Tell me!"
At this moment, Tao Yaojun could no longer marvel at Li Chang'an's astonishing skills; instead, she asked the question that had been on her mind with a look of astonishment.
