Bang!
Han Zhao returned to the Mountain Shaking Fist Academy. Just as he walked into Lu Yi’s door, he saw a huge fist that was as black as ink and like black jade suddenly smash towards his chest.
‘l’he person who punched him was Lu Yi.
“Again?!” Han Zhao did not know whether to laugh or cry. He dodged Lu Yi’s punch and slapped the back of Lu Yi l s hand, deflecting his punch.
“Good kid!” Sensing the huge force coming from Han Zhao’s palm, Lu Yi’s expression changed.
He grabbed Han Zhao’s arm and rolled up his sleeve.
Looking at the clear mountain mark on Han Zhao’s bloodshot and swollen arm, Lu Yi’s pupils suddenly constricted.
Then, he rolled up his other sleeve, and the same mountain mark appeared.
“Double Blood Qi Breakthrough! Kid, you’re so impressive!” Lu Yi was surprised and delighted, angry and amused.
“Master, would you believe me if I said that I just broke through recently?” Han Zhao smiled.
“F*ck off!
Three months was neither fast nor slow.
Han Zhao quickly received Zhu Kangshengs message.
Today was the day the saber and sword were successfully reforged. It was also the day he bade farewell to Zhu Kangsheng.
Han Zhao disguised himself as Song Que and headed to Edge Sharpening Manor.
As soon as he entered the manor, he was invited into the back hall by Manor Master Chu Tie.
When Han Zhao chose to be in Edge Sharpening Manor, he interacted with this Chu Tie and felt that he was not bad.
This was because Chu Tie was the same as Zhu Kangsheng. His family had also been persecuted by the Flying Dragon Stockade.
In addition, Zhu Kangsheng said that he could definitely be trusted. He also needed his help to reforge the saber and sword, so Han Zhao agreed to tell Chu Tie about this.
“Hero Song, Kang Sheng is inside.” Chu Tie came to the door of the forging room in the back hall and stood still, gesturing for Han Zhao to enter while he stayed at the door.
This was the forging room specially used by the old blacksmiths in the manor. Ever since he reforged the saber and sword for Han Zhao, he had not allowed anyone else to use this place for a long time.
The people in the manor only knew that the main and deputy Manor Masters had accepted a huge order and had been forging day and night. They did not know anything else.
This was because the two of them would take turns guarding the door of the forging room to prevent anyone from sneaking in.
“Manor Master Chu, thank you.” Han Zhao cupped his fists and walked in.
The moment he entered, he felt his body temperature suddenly increase. It was as if he had entered a sauna in summer. Every pore on his body was saying that he was hot.
Looking around, the forging room, which was about 30 square meters, had been emptied. Only Zhu Kangsheng stood in front of the Sword Forging Pool in the middle.
The rectangular sword-forging pool was covered with an unknown layer of black-red charcoal. The charcoal kept burning, spitting out purple-red flames that emitted a terrifying heat that seemed to be able to roast people.
In the Sword Forging Pool in the center of this ball of flames, a saber and a sword were stabbed diagonally on both sides.
At this moment, the swords and sabers were burning.
Han Zhao seemed to have an illusion that the saber and sword in the Sword Forging Pool seemed to be calling out to him.
“Brother Han, you’re finally here.” Zhu Kangsheng saw Han Zhao walking over and smiled happily. “You have to come personally to complete this last step!”
“Manor Master Zhu, you… Han Zhao wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to obtain a stronger weapon, but he didn’t want Zhu Kangsheng to die for his saber and sword.
Unfortunately, there were many things that were difficult to achieve.
“Brother Han, you should have seen the incomplete forging technique. The only complete content in it is ‘Sacrificial Refinement’! ” Zhu Kangsheng walked forward and said seriously, “In a moment, I’ll jump into the Sword Forging Pool when the furnace fire is at its strongest. After the saber and sword drink the blood of the forger, you have to use your own blood as a guide. Only then will there be hope for the saber and sword to be sentient and truly become a divine weapon that is connected to your mind.”
“I understand.” Han Zhao nodded.
Seeing that Han Zhao seemed to be unable to bear it, Zhu Kang.sheng smiled freely. “Brother Han, you don’t have to feel sad for me. This is the happiest and most relaxed moment in my life. I’ve gotten my revenge and can use my life’s work to forge a masterpiece. It’s really a joy in my life!”
“Moreover, I have no regrets in my life to be able to forge weapons for a hero like you!’
Zhu Kangsheng came to the stone platform at the side and picked up the wine pot on it. He raised his head and took a big gulp before handing it to Han Zhao.
Han Zhao took the wine pot and drank the strong wine. His stomach seemed to be burning with a raging fire.
Zhu Kangsheng laughed loudly. Looking at the rolling fire snakes in the Sword Forging Pool, his eyes suddenly lit up. “It’s time!”
With that, he picked up the wine pot and walked towards the steps of the Sword Forging Pool. His footsteps were steady and did not hesitate at all.
“Brother Zhu!” Han Zhao suddenly shouted.
Zhu Kangsheng stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him.
“Give the new saber a name?” Han Zhao did not say anything to persuade him to stay because that would disrespect the last will of a blacksmith.
“Killing to protect one’s life, severing karma is not severing one’s life.” Zhu Kangsheng drank the wine in the pot in one gulp and strode to the edge of the Sword Forging Pool. The spitting fire snakes quickly ignited his pants and quickly climbed towards his body.
“Sword and Saber Hero, I’ll repay you with my body! Good! Good!”
Zhu Kangsheng laughed loudly. He opened his hands and jumped into the Sword Forging Pool as if he was hugging someone.
Boom!
The flames instantly engulfed his body. The surging fire snake jumped more than 30 feet high as if it wanted to overturn the roof.
Seeing this, Han Zhao tapped the ground with his Wind Riding Leg and used his Life Nurturing True Qi to protect his body. He jumped up to the top of the Sword Forging Pool. The short knife cut his wrist, and blood gushed out. It fell from the front and dripped onto the sabers and swords in the pool.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Like water droplets dripping into a boiling pot of oil, the sabers and swords in the Sword Forging Pool instantly reacted violently.
‘l’he flames quickly began to converge, and the originally pitch-black saber and sword changed.
The sword body turned from black to white, like silver frost.
The blade turned from black to red, like the setting sun.
A feeling of blood connection came from the sword and saber.
In an instant, the flames in the Sword Forging Pool disappeared. The high temperature that seemed to be able to melt people just now had already disappeared.
Han Zhao landed at the edge of the Sword Forging Pool and controlled the muscles in his wrist to compress and stop the bleeding. At the same time, he grabbed with both hands and sucked the saber and sword into his palm through his true qi.
The sword and blade were cold and did not look like they had just been forged.
Han Zhao focused his gaze on the Sword Forging Pool and saw that other than the black charcoal that had been extinguished, there were no remains of Zhu Kangsheng. His bones, blood, essence, and spirit seemed to have all been nourished by this peerless saber and sword.
“Killing to protect one’s life, severing karma is not severing one’s life.” Looking at the scarlet demonic saber in his hand, Zhu Kangshengs words appeared in Han Zhao’s mind. He said happily, “In that case, I’ll call you the Severing Karma Saber.”
Buzz-
As soon as Han Zhao finished speaking, the Severing Karma Saber seemed to have a mind of its own. The entire saber trembled slightly in his hand.
An emotion similar to joy was transmitted from the saber.
“The Severing Karma Saber has gained sentience!
Buzz buzz buzz!
As if sensing Han Zhao’s joy, the Afterlife Sword in his left hand trembled.
“The Afterlife Sword has also gained sentience!
Han Zhao crossed his saber and sword in front of him and bowed deeply to the
Sword Forging Pool.
“Brother Zhu, may peace be with you..”
