Chapter 228 Iron-cutting Holy Sword
The Holy Sword is one of the most powerful weapons and is coveted by countless adventurers. Throughout history, many heroes and brave men holding the Holy Sword have left behind moving legends.

However, few people know that the various holy swords used by heroes and brave men are not real holy swords, but "pseudo-holy swords" imitated according to the performance of holy swords.

There is only one true holy sword, and that is the holy sword 'Avalon' held by the God of Heaven.

It is rumored that the holy sword 'Avalon' was forged by the God of Heaven using the 'Original Light' scattered around the world and countless rare materials, and was nurtured by his divine power for thousands of years, eventually making it the most powerful holy sword worthy of the name.

The rest of the holy swords were imitations of the holy sword 'Avalon' made by the angels in heaven. Of course, there were some outstanding ones among these imitations, such as the 'Angel Holy Sword' in the hands of Archangel Michael, which was the most successful one. This 'Angel Holy Sword' even had powerful abilities different from 'Avalon'.

Of course, for humans, even the most ordinary imitation holy sword is a divine relic-level item.

This shows that humans' judgment of the so-called "divine relics" is not accurate. They classify many props with mysterious origins and powerful effects as divine relics.

For example, the information about the 'Iron-Cutting Holy Sword' that Luo Qiuxian obtained from the Adventurer's Guild has little to do with the Holy Sword 'Avalon'.

The information provided by the Adventurer's Guild clearly records the story of the 'Iron-Cutting Holy Sword'.

Rumor has it that this holy sword fell from the sky during a rainstorm one day and directly pierced into a piece of freshly smelted fine iron that a blacksmith placed at the door.

The blacksmith was overjoyed by the rare treasure that fell from the sky. He wanted to integrate this piece of fine iron into the sword to increase the hardness of the sword.

Unexpectedly, he just shook the sword lightly, and the piece of fine iron that had been hammered continuously for nearly a hundred days was cut into two pieces like tofu, so the blacksmith named this sword "Zhantie".

From then on, this iron-cutting sword became famous, and everyone in the city knew that there was a sword that fell from the sky in the blacksmith's house.

During this period of time, there happened to be a terrible monster wandering around the city. This monster had a heavy magic hammer in his hand, which killed and injured countless adventurers.

At this time, the adventurers in the city once again formed a team to fight the monster, led by the most powerful gold-level adventurer in the city at that time, and prepared to fight the monster that threatened the lives of the citizens.

The night before the expedition to defeat the monster, the gold-level adventurer came to the blacksmith's house and borrowed this sword that could cut through iron like mud, and promised the blacksmith that he would use the sword to chop off the monster's head.

The adventurers encountered monsters outside the city, and naturally a big battle broke out.

But the outcome of the battle was beyond everyone's expectations.

I thought it would be a tough battle and some people might even be sacrificed.

However, the gold-level adventurer holding the 'Iron Cutting' easily cut the magic hammer in the monster's hand into two pieces, and with the help of other adventurers, he easily cut off the monster's head.

When the adventurers returned to the city carrying the monster's head, they all had a dreamlike feeling. No one could believe that this terrible monster was defeated so easily by them.

Amid the cheers of the whole city, the blacksmith came out and officially presented the "Iron Cutting Sword" to the gold-level adventurer.

From then on, this gold-level adventurer held the 'Iron-Cutting Sword' and traveled between cities in various countries to kill monsters that threatened the safety of the cities. His reputation became higher and higher, and he eventually became a glory-level adventurer on the Honor List. Because of his achievements, this sword was also called the 'Iron-Cutting Holy Sword'.

However, ever since this glory-level adventurer entered a certain terrible place to adventure, he and the 'Iron-Cutting Holy Sword' disappeared.

After so many years, the Honor-level adventurer must have turned into dry bones long ago, but the "Iron-Cutting Holy Sword" was discovered by the Adventurer's Guild and the City Lord's Mansion not long ago. In the deep swamp next to the Blue Foot Plain, those people witnessed the existence of the "Iron-Cutting Holy Sword", but the witnesses also saw a terrifying monster next to the "Iron-Cutting Holy Sword".

Although the swamp dragon is called a dragon, it is actually a giant snake, but because of its power, people give it the word dragon.

In the swamp, even a glory-level adventurer can't do anything to it, and may even be swallowed by it.

Therefore, although the people from the Adventurer's Guild and the City Lord's Mansion coveted the legendary holy sword, they did not dare to act rashly. The swamp was the territory of the swamp dragon, and fighting it on its territory would only make them food for the swamp dragon. So they could only retreat back to Kushiwa, report the information, draw a detailed route map, and seal it up.

In the end, this information was taken away by Luo Qiu and used as collateral for the tens of thousands of gold coins. Little did he know that the top leaders of the Adventurer's Guild and the City Lord's Mansion were grinning from ear to ear.

Although this is not an equal exchange, it is an exchange that is mutually agreed upon.

"Luo Qiu, are we going to the quagmire?" Meng Li asked.

"The holy sword that cuts iron. I didn't have much expectation just by hearing the name. I suddenly feel a little regretful." Luo Qiu sighed.

"Then let's go to the Adventurer's Guild and exchange it back."

"Forget it. I think the people in the Adventurer's Guild will be very unhappy about this."

"They dare!" Meng Li raised her eyebrows, and a murderous intent as thick as blood surged from her body.

"We're not here to fight." Luo Qiu held down Meng Li's restless little hand and said, "It's a rare opportunity for us to come here, so it's nice to go out for an adventure. Swamp Dragon, hehe, I've never seen such a creature before."

Seeing Luo Qiu's interest, Meng Li's murderous intent slowly dissipated. She pursed her red lips and said softly: "I have never heard of this kind of monster. It should be the kind that was born after I fell asleep."

"Defeating terrible monsters and obtaining powerful holy swords, isn't this the job of a hero in a fairy tale? How about we become a hero this time?"

"As long as Luo Qiu is willing, I don't care where we go."

"Well, I estimate that it will take two days for Angele to come over. That's enough time for us to go on an adventure. But we have to go there secretly. I don't want to have two burdens following me." Luo Qiu looked at the walls on the left and right.

His sight seemed to pass through two white walls and see the other side.

"Why don't you get rid of them?" Meng Li asked puzzledly.

"Although these two humans are very strong, they have not yet reached the strongest sequence. They are not my opponents. I can..." Meng Li waved her jade hand with a sharp look in her eyes.

“Don’t be so murderous.” Luo Qiu shook his head. Vampires are bloodthirsty in nature and it is difficult to change them. Meng Li has tried his best to restrain himself when he is around Luo Qiu and rarely has murderous intent, but he will occasionally explode from time to time.

"They both have special identities, so keeping them around should be useful."
