Could it... could it be because of this spiritual artifact?
The middle-aged man's eyebrows knitted tightly, and his expression became even more solemn.
Crack!
But before he could figure out the situation, the broad knife in his hand transmitted a sound of shattering.
Then, small cracks like spider webs started to spread from the blade.
In less than the duration of a breath, the formerly indestructible broad knife directly shattered.
Clang clang clang...
The middle-aged man widened his eyes, watching in disbelief as the broad knife in his hand, now resembling broken shards, shattered directly into a pile of scrap metal.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the middle-aged man's face looked as if he had eaten a thousand dead mice, turning unspeakably ugly.
"My spiritual artifact! I... Ahhh!!!", the middle-aged man roared in rage and embarrassment, his hands gripping the knife hilt starting to tremble uncontrollably due to extreme anger.
This was his spiritual artifact!
