A group of onlookers who didn’t understand the situation thought sothing had happened to Long Fei, but Yaoji and others with broader knowledge didn’t think so.
They saw a third fla rise from Long Fei’s body, imbued with golden light, disappearing into the furnace.
The group of artifact refining masters was stunned, exclaiming, "Could this be the legendary Heart Fire?"
"He can actually manifest the Heart Fire?"
"Samadhi True Fire, he can actually manifest the Samadhi True Fire!"
"..."
The scene erupted in commotion, especially among the two families’ artifact refiners, whose eyes were filled with admiration for Long Fei.
With the Samadhi True Fire, there is nothing in the world that cannot be lted.
In Long Fei’s furnace, golden, red, and white flas entwined, soon emitting a deep, bone-cracking sound.
The Dragon-Tiger Mountain Ancestor slightly raised his eyelids, his mind affected, as a faint blue smoke rose from the furnace above his head, becoming unsteady.
He hadn’t expected Long Fei to understand the final aspect of the Samadhi True Fire.
Them having just two aspects made Dragon-Tiger Mountain the top in artifact refining; getting the third would be unimaginable.
He quickened his pace, engraving formation patterns on the embryo.
Unfortunately, this sword embryo was so resilient that it took quite a while to etch a single formation pattern, which was far from magical weapons engraved with the highest-grade patterns.
After Long Fei used the Samadhi True Fire, his refining speed clearly increased.
Blue smoke continually rose above the furnace.
This blue smoke was precisely the impurities being purged from the divine iron.
From skin to bone, the more thoroughly the impurities were removed, the tougher and more malleable the divine iron beca.
Both sides’ people watched with great excitent, as it was rare to witness such a high-level artifact refiner competition.
Without ntioning Long Fei, even the Dragon-Tiger Mountain Ancestor was recognized as the foremost artifact refiner of the present day.
By dusk, the sounds of boiling water bubbling and rolling echoed incessantly within both people’s furnaces.
An excited artifact refining master exclaid, "It’s almost done, these magical weapons are about to erge."
"I wonder who will win!"
Soone rubbed their palms, their face flushed with excitent.
An artifact refining master said, "What if they co out simultaneously, who counts as the winner?"
An old man shook his head and retorted, "Don’t jinx it, how could such a coincidence occur?"
Before his words fell, two sword clings were heard.
Ying, ying, two hums, and two sword lights flashed simultaneously as a sword light shot straight into the sky.
On Long Fei’s side, the longsword was as a dragon, its energy surging across the sky.
With a roar, a dragon’s howl sounded in the air, transforming into a wandering golden light, finally grasped in Long Fei’s hand.
The sword blade was golden and incredibly mighty.
The blade’s sharpness was so exposed that even the wind blowing over it produced whooshing, whistling sounds of slicing through the air.
The Dragon-Tiger Mountain Ancestor’s longsword emitted a tiger roar in the air, howling like a ferocious tiger roaring in the forest, similarly landing in the Dragon-Tiger Mountain Ancestor’s hand.
This sword’s blade length was no different from the one in Long Fei’s hand.
Its blade was silver-white, appearing much smoother and softer.
One sword hilt resembled a dragon, and the other a tiger; they were precisely the Yin-Yang Twin Swords of Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
The Dragon-Tiger Mountain Ancestor hadn’t expected Long Fei to understand the characteristics of these two magical weapons of Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
The sword hum just now seed as though the formation patterns were identical too.
He had originally planned that if Long Fei wasted this divine iron, he could take it back to re-forge it.
Now, with the dual swords erging simultaneously, it was uncertain who had won or lost.
Both sides’ people looked at each other, unsure how to define the outco of this contest.
Yaoji shouted from the city wall, "Fellow Daoist Long, it seems this contest is a draw."
After losing so much, a draw could stabilize people’s minds.
Chu Feng replied, "Saintess, you’re speaking boldly. My brother used rough iron, while the old man from Dragon-Tiger Mountain’s divine iron was refined for five thousand years. Anyone with eyes can see who won and lost."
Wang Jie laughed heartily, "That’s right, you have to speak with conscience. Justice lies in people’s hearts, and the victor is already obvious."
"..."
"Before the competition, it was agreed that whoever’s sword erged first would win. With both swords now out, it’s naturally a draw, so what argunt are you making?"
"Exactly, the outco is what matters. If you thought it was unfair, why didn’t you say anything earlier?"
"..."
Opponents retorted one after another, and for a ti, curses filled the space above and below the city wall.
Ji Wanrong shouted crisply, "Everyone quiet down; I am the judge of this contest, and I shall declare the winner."
Chu Feng and his group quieted first, with the people on the opposite side following.
Ji Wanrong addressed everyone, "These two swords have erged, but determining which one is a genuine sword and which is just for show to settle the score must be figured out. Since both swords erged simultaneously, we should compare the prowess of these two swords. Only the side that wins should be considered victorious. If it ends in a draw, then it’s a tie."
Upon hearing this, everyone whispered a few words, thinking this proposition to be fair.
Chu Feng and his group had great confidence in Long Fei, shouting at the people on the city wall, "Dare you take up the challenge?"
"Challenge accepted!"
The people on the city wall responded, shouting back.
Long Fei raised his sword and gave a slight smile, "It seems the sword’s quality will have to determine the better one."
The Dragon-Tiger Mountain Ancestor, sowhat unconvinced, said, "Old as I am, I don’t believe the divine sword I’ve refined over five thousand years can be less than the one you’ve refined in two hours."
He accepted the proposal, simultaneously tossing the longsword into the air with Long Fei.
Two white lights flashed before everyone’s eyes, one carrying a dragon roar, the other a tiger roar.
One sword shone with golden light, the other with dazzling silver.
The two swords t with two clanging sounds, causing sparks to burst forth, resembling dragons and tigers battling in the air.
The twin swords ca from the sa divine iron, originally of equal quality.
Sadly, the divine iron refined by the Dragon-Tiger Mountain Ancestor was not pure enough, holding many more impurities than the one refined by Long Fei.
In the first three moves, there was no definitive result.
After three moves, the female sword refined by the Dragon-Tiger Mountain Ancestor began to fall behind, sparks constantly bursting from it, with even its blade showing noticeable nicks.
The Dragon-Tiger Mountain Ancestor frowned, whispering, "A divine sword has more to itself than just this!"
He activated the formation patterns within, with a resonant hum, extending the female sword tenfold in length.
It seed like a giant’s longsword, drawing in Golden Elental Power from tens of thousands of ters around, slashing down towards Long Fei’s male sword.
This move combined the array on the female sword, the Gold-Attracting Formation, demonstrating the power of its patterns.
"Big but useless!"
Long Fei smiled faintly, raising his hand to et the challenge with his sword.
The patterns on his sword shone simultaneously, slicing down a dragon-like golden lightning crackling into the Sword Qi of the tiger sword.
With a boom, the Sword Qi upon the tiger sword shattered and scattered first.
Following closely, as the giant tiger sword descended, it clashed with Long Fei’s male sword.
With a screeching rasp, the male sword, like a knife cutting through tofu, slid through the massive body of the female sword.
With a loud clatter, the severed half of the female sword stabbed downward into the ground, sending up a dust cloud ten ters high and cracking open the earth in a turtle-like pattern.
