As Ann gripped the scepter, a triple crown appeared above his head.

The top, middle, and bottom layers of the triple crown were made of different materials. They were inlaid with gemstones, gold, and silver, making them look majestic. At the same time, a red carpet was under Ann’s feet, it was extending toward Zhang Heng.

Of course, Zhang Heng wasn’t naive enough to think that the carpet was welcoming him. He immediately moved again, avoiding the carpet that was coming his way. Then, he charged toward Ann, before the Triple Crown on Ann’s head could fully materialize, he had already slashed down with his sword.

Seeing this, Ann raised the scepter in her hand to welcome him. This time, [ hidden scabbard ] was unable to break the weapon in Ann’s hand. As the two weapons clashed, a crisp golden sound rang out.

The scepter in an’s hand was obviously a game item, and its quality should not be low. That was why it was able to block [ hidden scabbard ] .

However, this was only Zhang Heng’s first attack. Since he had already seized the opportunity to attack, there was no reason for Zhang Heng to give up with just one attack. Just as an was about to raise the scepter to counterattack, he did not expect Zhang Heng’s second attack to arrive, an had no choice but to place his scepter horizontally in front of his chest to receive the second attack. However, before he could do anything else, Zhang Heng’s third attack came..

Seeing this, an had no choice but to focus on neutralizing Zhang Heng’s attack.

Even though he tried to counterattack a few times but failed, his face did not show much anxiety.

Indeed, with his status and position in the Sumerian god system, it was somewhat beneath him to be suppressed by a human. However, it was not as if Ann had never seen an outstanding mortal before, for example, the man named Gilgamesh.

Back then, in order to deal with him, the goddess Aruru created a barbarian warrior named n’kidu. However, in the end, Gilgamesh’s skills were superior. Not only did he defeat N’kidu.., what the gods didn’t expect was that after this battle, the two of them actually became friends. Together, they managed the country to flourish.

After that, Gilgamesh rejected the goddess Ishtar’s proposal and killed the Bull of Heaven that Ann sent to punish him, after n’kidu died, in order to find a way to live forever, he also experienced a soul-stirring legendary adventure.

Even in the realm of gods, the story of the hero Gilgamesh was widely spread.

However, Ann had no time to reminisce about a human from more than 4,000 years ago. This was because the opponent in front of him was obviously more difficult to deal with. This did not mean that Zhang Heng’s true strength had surpassed Gilgamesh’s, the main reason was that the Sumerian gods led by Ann were no longer as brave as before.

However, an now had an advantage that he did not have back then. Although his strength, speed, and reaction had become weaker, his combat experience had become richer, and he had become more patient as a result.

However, what an did not expect was that the young man opposite him was actually as fast as a knife. Moreover, as he increased the speed of his knife, his movements did not reveal any flaws as he had initially expected.

An’s expression changed slightly. Now that he was able to deal with the young man’s attack, he began to feel some pressure. On the other hand, the young man was still able to deal with it with ease. An did not know if it was his imagination.., he felt that as the battle progressed, the young man seemed to have completely merged with the sword. There was no longer any gap between the two. The edge of the sword actually became more and more intense.

An did not have time to think about how he was going to receive Zhang Heng’s attack. The next moment, his gaze swept across the scepter in his hand, and he was even more shocked, this was because he realized that the scepter, which symbolized his status and power, had unknowingly become riddled with holes. The places where the sword had collided with the opponent’s were filled with cracks and cracks!

An could not help but blurt out, “What kind of weapon is that in your hand? !”

“Hidden scabbard,”Zhang Heng replied, but his attacks did not stop.

An’s face revealed a look of contemplation, but then it turned into confusion. “Hidden scabbard, which God’s weapon is this? Why haven’t I heard of this name before?”

“Because this saber doesn’t belong to any God. It was only my weapon when it was born.”

Zhang Heng held the long blade in his hand, but this was the first time he felt the desire of the [ hidden scabbard ] . Yes, it was desire. The most pious knife makers in the capital had always believed that each blade contained a unique soul.

When he first encountered the [ hidden scabbard ] , Zhang Heng had felt the ruthlessness hidden in the blade, but this was purely a subjective intuition, more like a reflection of the knife maker’s emotions at the time, or perhaps it was the weak aura that had been left behind by the assimilation of the previous owner.

However, this time, the desire was so strong that Zhang Heng could clearly feel the intention of [ hidden scabbard ] to cut off the scepter in an’s hand. When Zhang Heng came into contact with this thought, he was not shocked but happy.

He seemed to have thought of something. He did not suppress this sudden desire as the owner. Instead, he listened carefully to the heart of the blade in his hand and tried to incorporate this desire into his blade technique.

It was only now that his blade technique had reached level 4 that he was able to do this. Using the hidden scabbard’s desire, Zhang Heng’s blade technique’s power had also increased by another level.

An’s previous feeling wasn’t an illusion. At this moment, Zhang Heng had indeed become one with [ hidden scabbard ] . He had even forgotten about Seth, who was still alive, and there was only one thing left in his eyes, and that was to cut off the scepter in an’s hand!

Therefore, facing this simple attack, an realized that he had no other choice but to continue using the already damaged scepter in his hand to defend himself.

In the end, the already-exhausted scepter shattered into pieces after several collisions with [ hidden scabbard ] .

An held the remaining half of the broken scepter in her hand and stood rooted to the ground, her face filled with confusion.

Zhang Heng, on the other hand, had changed from his previous domineering attitude. He actually sheathed his saber and even bowed to an.

Zhang Heng could feel the changes in the [ hidden scabbard ] after chopping down the scepter, in fact, when he first felt the strong desire from the [ hidden scabbard ] , he had already thought of the previous appraisal results regarding the [ hidden scabbard ] , at the end, there was a sentence that said, “The forger left space for the blade to level up.”

In other words, this B-grade game item actually had a chance of leveling up. It was just that Zhang Heng hadn’t been able to find a way to level it up for so long. At first, he had thought that it was to kill some supernatural creatures, but in the following few battles, even after killing Loki, [ hidden scabbard ] still didn’t make any movements. It wasn’t until this time, after chopping off the scepter in Ann’s hand, that [ hidden scabbard ] finally made some changes.
