In the Blade

A huge axe splits the sky.

It is undoubtedly a foolish dream to want to split the sky with just an axe, but it is precisely because this kind of thing is unrealistic that it gives people endless room for imagination.

What would it be like if a person could really split the sky with a sharp axe?

Du Chengfeng had never thought about this question.

But this time, he saw it with his own eyes.

The huge axe chopped down head-on with an indomitable and brave momentum. The simple and rough big is good, big is strong, but it is also the most simple truth.

If the axe continues to grow, maybe it can really split the sky.

But it definitely can't hit the flexible Du Chengfeng.

"Is it just this degree..."

Du Chengfeng sighed as he bypassed the axe blade.

He admitted that the bandit leader who swung the axe might indeed be considered to have some skills.

But imagination can only be described as tragic.

"Goodbye."

As the big knife swung down, the three bandit leaders all turned into ashes.

Killing is not the point. This is no different from drinking soup. What Du Chengfeng really cares about is the weapons of these three people. Yes, interrogating them directly is too troublesome and a waste of time. Instead of spending energy to fight wits and courage with a few bandits, it is better to simply sharpen the knife to understand their experience.

Although he has not sharpened the knife for a while, it is because he can't find any weapons worth sharpening. It doesn't mean that he has forgotten this craft.

"Let me see..."

After returning to Wangyou Township with three weapons, Du Chengfeng took out the long-forgotten grindstone.

The first one to be sharpened was of course the axe. The heavy axe blade was basically not difficult for Du Chengfeng to sharpen. After putting the axe on the grindstone, Du Chengfeng gradually felt what the axe had experienced.

Or in other words, what the bandit leader had experienced.

Like most martial arts madmen who had just been infused with evil spirits, this bandit leader was exposed to evil spirits because he killed three people in a quarrel. Of course, the local government would definitely want this kind of murderer, so after knocking down two officials, this bandit leader began to become a bandit and started a career with no future.

This is also the only way for most people who have just been infused with evil spirits. After all, under the control of the Southern Chen Dynasty, these people either go to jail or become bandits. There is basically no other way to go. This is why Du Chengfeng is not very willing to collect those ordinary weapons for polishing, just because the things recorded on these things are roughly the same.

Just like this bandit leader, of course, at the beginning, the bandit leader was just an ordinary bandit, but relying on the physical enhancement brought by the evil spirit entering his body, as well as the brutal murderous nature after tasting the marrow, this person quickly stood out from the group of bandits, and after gathering two or three companions who also had evil spirits in their bodies, they began to run rampant and rob all the way.

As for why they had to rob all the way, of course it was because they could no longer rob in one place. All the places that could be robbed had been robbed, and the remaining people had all hid in the fortresses of local nobles. With only two or three evil spirits in their bodies and a group of bandits, they wanted to confront the fortresses. This was obviously unreliable, so the bandit leader could only lead the team to move around and eat whoever they saw.

"I wonder how they can be so blind."

Seeing this, Du Chengfeng also knew why they had been killing for so long, and there were still blind robbers who dared to make trouble - it turned out that these people were simply hungry and desperate, and they would rob whoever they caught, without considering the origin of the team at all.

But these were not the parts Du Chengfeng wanted to see.

The part he wanted to see was still behind.

As looting became increasingly difficult, even eating became a problem, these bandits began to occasionally fight with their peers - for the robbers, the death of their peers was undoubtedly a great thing. Not to mention the vacuum of territory left by their peers, the supplies stored by their peers were enough for them to have a full meal.

Especially when their peers could not bear the hunger and were ready to attack those forts, this was an excellent opportunity for other bandits.

As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. This bandit leader had been the oriole once before, and in that time, the mantis that went to catch the cicada was a famous bandit in Longzhou, known as "Iron Gun Cutting Water", ranked 87th in the Hundred Weapons List, and his murderous strength was enough to fight one against a hundred.

"What is the Hundred Weapons List?"

Du Chengfeng began to scratch his head when he saw this. How could there be such a thing?

It should be something made by those bored people in the rivers and lakes, and it should not be too important.

Moreover, this Hundred Weapons List has nothing to do with what he sees now.

Even if he is listed in the Hundred Weapons List, or even has the strength to fight one hundred with one, this "iron spear cuts water" still needs to make a living, and not only himself, but also the many bandits under his command need to make a living - so after there is nothing left to rob, this group of people set their sights on a fortress far away in Bozhou.

Although the crime was committed in a different place, the bandits came and went like the wind, and there was a master with a murderous aura in charge, so it seemed that this matter had a high probability of success.

But things like probability are often not so accurate.

Relying on the power of the evil spirit, this "Iron Spear Cutting Water" did indeed blast open the defense of the fort, but the guards in the fort were not vegetarians either - the eldest son of the fort owner's family was said to have returned from the capital of Jiankang. He not only learned good writing, but also practiced martial arts.

Ordinary martial arts naturally cannot control the evil spirit master.

But the martial arts learned by the opponent are not ordinary.

"One sword covers the sky!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, the "Iron Spear Cutting Water" that was already full of evil spirit was cut open on the spot.

The young master of the fort owner's family who used this sword only had evil spirit entering his body.

With the fall of the evil spirit master, the battle was no longer one-sided. The surprise attack that should have been as powerful as lightning turned into a bloody street fight. The ordinary people on both sides who had evil spirits in their bodies and even couldn't use them well greeted each other with swords and spears. Blood and corpses soon covered the ground.

This directly benefited the hidden yellow bird, the bandit leader who was already wandering in Bozhou.

When the two sides fought, it was the time for the bandit leader to take advantage of the situation. Although his team did not have much combat power, both sides were at the end of their strength and had no ability to resist him - but this did not mean that he did not encounter any resistance. In fact, he encountered the most dangerous resistance.

It was because the eldest son of the owner of the fortress was not dead yet.

"One sword covers the sky!"

Seeing that there were new bandits coming, the eldest son thrust his sword directly without thinking.

This sword almost scared the bandit leader to death.

The master who just released the evil spirit died, he saw it with his own eyes. God knows why a person with evil spirit in his body could actually launch such an attack - but at the critical moment of life and death, he had no ability to think about anything. He could only use the most instinctive way to save his life.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh——"

Facing the young master's shouting, the bandit leader also shouted desperately, trying to use this to enhance his momentum.

"Giant axe splits the sky!"

Yes, facing the terrifying might of the sword covering the sky, he shouted out what he wanted to do with the loudest voice.

He actually succeeded.

The axe seemed to really split the sky and the young master's body. That time, the bandit leader robbed a fat man-but compared to the gains from the looting, he cared more about the effect of the axe.

You have to know that this bandit has been in contact with evil spirits for some time, and naturally he also knows some of the rules of evil spirits, such as evil spirits entering the body must not beat evil spirits released, and being able to release evil spirits is as brave as the heroes in those legendary stories.

But now, he has only evil spirits entering his body, but he has the power to fight against the release of evil spirits.

Or in other words, it is not just the release of evil spirits.

"I can win everything!"

At that moment, the bandit leader was so confident.

"Even the Imperial City of Jiankang can probably be broken into! Pull the little emperor down from the throne and I'll sit on it!"

Like most people who have just gained power, they always feel that they are unique and extraordinary - this also makes Du Chengfeng, who is watching from the sidelines, a little bit unable to watch, just because every time he sees a similar scene, he will think of his past self.

Although he did not show any arrogance on the surface, but behind the scenes, such as in the middle of the night in bed, he would occasionally, just, a little self-happy.

Now think about it, it's all black history, all shameful records, that is, he was lucky, and he had basically defeated all the enemies he encountered. Otherwise, if he had encountered a strong enemy that he could not defeat at all when he just gained power, then his face would be completely lost.

Just like what the bandit leader experienced in the record of this axe.

Obviously, the bandit leader was not as lucky as Du Chengfeng. Just when he had mastered the power, he encountered a strong enemy - Jiang Wenyuan, who came to Bozhou to suppress bandits. He was an old acquaintance of Du Chengfeng. This old acquaintance who was a constable found the location of the bandit leader almost immediately.

Then...

"Cross killing method."

The two iron bars just chopped and killed, and half of the bandits became broken corpses.

As for the other half of the bandits... they left their companions and ran fast.

As for the bandit leader holding the axe, he didn't dare to stop for a step. It was at this time that he realized what it meant that there are people beyond people and there are heavens beyond heavens - indeed, his giant axe Kaitian might be very powerful, but facing the cross fire sign that exuded a chilling coldness, it was still a little bit not good enough.

It was because of this that the bandit leader fled Bozhou.

On the way, he met more and more masters. Of course, these were not the old masters of evil spirits, but masters like him who were proficient in a certain move. As for the old masters of evil spirits, if they could not learn these new things, they would die in the disputes with these new generation masters. Just like the bandit leader himself, he killed three evil spirits, which greatly increased his confidence.

"Maybe I am not that weak?"

When using the giant axe to split the sky and kill the third evil spirit, the bandit leader suddenly had an epiphany.

"Maybe I just need a little time, a little time to build up my strength."

With this thought in mind, the bandit leader led his team all the way west. On the one hand, he was practicing while walking, and on the other hand, the west was far away from the capital city of Jiankang, which was relatively chaotic and easier to plunder.

Facts have proved that he did achieve a certain degree of success. At least when facing the killing god wielding sword energy, he really managed to kill him with one axe.

He even still had confidence until the figure carrying a machete fell from the sky.

"The giant ax opens the sky!"

The bandit leader shouted, swinging his axe.

He felt like his whole body was on fire.

…

…

…

"It really lit up."

Du Chengfeng, who had recovered from sharpening the knife, recalled the feeling of the fierce flames. He had to admit that he was actually a little unsure of the heat this time.

The specific manifestation is that on the ax handle, the wooden ax handle is about to crack. This is not the effect he wants - the truly precise fire should be just right to burn the bandit leader, but the ax in his hand is not intact. No injury, this can be called control.

"Hey, I still have to practice."

Du Chengfeng sighed exactly like the bandit leader.

This is also the second reason why he doesn't sharpen his knife very often. After each sharpening, he will be more or less affected. Although as his mentality becomes more stable, this influence becomes smaller and smaller. But being small doesn't mean that he doesn't have it. He still doesn't like this feeling.

It was as if he had experienced someone else's life and became a different person.

However, this experience does not only have negative effects. Just like now, after he has personally experienced the life of the holder of this ax, that is, the bandit leader, he can also get some insights from the perspective of the bandit leader. News that you can’t get.

"Hundreds of weapons... and new techniques."

Du Chengfeng frowned slightly.

Although these two things seemed like nothing, he always felt that these two things would cause something more troublesome.

It’s not about judgment, it’s pure intuition.

But compared to the former, the latter, that is, the new technique, is indeed very head-scratching.

"And...acquaintances know it."

Du Chengfeng looked into the distance.

At this moment, he always felt that it might be more appropriate for him to go to Jiankang Imperial City to take a look.

The update has arrived. I wanted to add it yesterday but it didn’t add up. I’m confused. I’ll try again today.

Also: Thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Thank you for your encouragement and support.

Everyone go to bed early, I will continue to see how to do it.
