Chapter 8: Muramasa

When the hands on the clock converge at 0:00, astronomy enthusiasts around the world cheer together, and at this moment, with Saturn fully in place, the seven planets are connected in a straight line.

At the same time, in the African savannah of the earth, a huge beast like a small mountain raised its head, as if sensing something, and looked at the sky.

The same scene is playing out in the Amazon rainforest and the Australian continent.

The Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the Earth's oceans, is an absolute no-go zone for humans. In the endless darkness, a pair of huge eyes that had been silent for many years slowly opened, and their eyes were bloodshot and slightly fluorescent.

On the other side, in a sea area deep in the Atlantic Ocean, a cry-like sharp cry also sounded, and all the sea beasts in the nearby sea area trembled violently as if they had been impacted, and the chirping continued for a minute.

A minute later, the sea was completely a dead sea.

……

At this time, Xiang Chen didn't know about this, he was still playing Linghe Boxing when the Seven Stars were aligned, and the originally bright moonlight seemed to be covered with a layer of blood for some reason, and Xiang Chen's boxing technique gradually became messy.

Unconsciously, Xiang Chen's boxing at this time was no longer a spirit crane fist at all, and perhaps there was a shadow of a spirit crane, but it had completely lost its previous agility, on the contrary, under the light of the blood moon, the boxing technique gradually went crazy, and the killing intent was rampant.

Some crazy demon Xiang Chen didn't notice that the shabby knife that he took off and put aside, at this time, also floated a layer of blood, and the blood moon in the sky reflected each other, and the blood light shone on Xiang Chen's body, as the blood color became more and more scarlet, Xiang Chen's qi and blood also began to grow that had not been seen for a long time.

Keep climbing!

Finally reaching a critical point at a certain moment, Xiang Chen felt as if a chorus of muscles and bones sounded in his body, and his body was completely exhausted, collapsed to the ground, and retreated from the state of madness.

"Whew! Call! Call! Xiang Chen gasped violently, raised his palm incredibly, and looked at his hand.

Despite his exhaustion, he felt a difference in his body, and this feeling...

Would-be warriors?

"Hahaha, hahahaha." Xiang Chen lay on his back on the balcony and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I've finally gotten rid of this spell!!"

"Roar!! Hahahahaha!! ”

Laughing wildly, Xiang Chen laughed so much that he left tears in his eyes.

I can't say whether it is the tears that come out of physiological laughter, or the tears left behind by the release of the previous depression.

At this time, the excitement in Xiang Chen's heart was simply not enough for outsiders.

No one knows how he survived the past three years, and no one knows how an ignorant and arrogant teenager transformed into the Xiang Chen he is today in three years.

The door of the rooftop has long been changed by Xiang Chen into a soundproof door with good effect for exercise, so he doesn't have to worry about disturbing his family's rest, Xiang Chen laughed heartily.

"You little doll is so useless! has only grown from a small ant to a big ant, as for smiling like this? ”

This abrupt sound like the friction of steel startled Xiang Chen.

There were still tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and despite his exhaustion, Xiang Chen still bounced up from the ground with a carp, looking around vigilantly.

"Who, who's talking!" Xiang Chen asked loudly. At this time, this balcony is indeed empty! And this laughter is really not like a human sound!

"My name is Muramasa."

"It's a demon knife."

……

Xiang Chen looked around, and was immediately attracted by the Taidao that flashed red not far away. This strange scene made Xiang Chen's hairs stand on end, and while staring at the Taidao, he continued to look for the uninvited guest with his residual vision.

"Your Excellency doesn't seem to be a good act of sneaking in at night. What's the picture? But... Seeking wealth? Xiang Chen asked, while mentioning twelve points of vigilance, he must ensure that the other party locks his position before he speaks again!

"Humph! What a stupid boy! I didn't tell you, I'm your demon knife! ”

Although it was unbelievable, Xiang Chen was extremely sure at this time that the voice was coming from his worn-out sword.

Xiang Chen felt that his hairs were blowing up.

A knife, talking to yourself?

One person and one knife were in a strange atmosphere, just confronting each other, Xiang Chen didn't speak, and the knife didn't move. It wasn't until nearly 10 minutes later, as the moon's blood faded, that the seven-star alignment came to an end, and the rooftop finally returned to its normal dim yellow color under the lighting.

After a long time

"You..."Xiang Chen swallowed, "I'll listen to you if you say another word." ”

"Hehe, boy, is it unbelievable, I can't believe that your demon uncle can speak?" As the sound of metal grinding sounded again, the red light on the sword seemed to flicker slightly.

Xiang Chen's expression became complicated, as if he had suddenly left his fear behind him. He stepped forward, slowly picked up the sword, and looked at it in front of him.

"Boy, aren't you afraid of me?"

This time it was the other party's turn to be surprised, this kid was shaking like a sieve just now, why did he suddenly become bold?

"I'm afraid, a knife actually talked to me, no one is afraid of such a strange thing."

"Oh? Then you? ”

"I just suddenly thought that you were left to me by my brother, I just believe that my brother will not harm me!"

“……”

Taidao was silent, quiet for a while before speaking again, this time the sound of friction was much lessened, and even its tone changed from the initial banter to a more serious one.

"Xiang Qiong... Truly a masterpiece, I owe him. ”

When Xiang Chen heard the word Xiang Qiong, his whole person trembled. He held the knife in front of him fiercely, and asked tremblingly: "You, do you know my brother?" Where is my brother? Is he alive! He must still be alive!! ”

Taidao was silent for a while, and said, "Whether your brother is alive or not, I don't know." ”

Xiang Chen wanted to continue to ask, but was interrupted by Taidao.

"Don't ask anymore, I don't know much about your brother Xiangqiong, I only know that he rescued me from there in the first place, as for who he is, where he came from, what was the purpose of his solitary invasion of my place, whether he died or not, who chased him and where he went, I don't know anything."

After a pause, as if to organize the language, Taidao continued, "But what I owe your brother is the truth, and even I feel a little guilty about you. ”

"Save you? You have a knife, how can you save it or not? Where are you talking about? You, why do you feel guilty about me? Xiang Chen felt that his head was a little insufficient.

"Boy, sit down, let's talk slowly, and I will answer your confusion one by one."

……

"As I just said, I, that is, this knife, is the first demon knife in the old era of Dongying, Demon Knife Muramasa, if you have any knowledge of the history of the old era, you should know what kind of prestige this knife has left in the history of Dongying, or rather, the demon name."

"I've heard of this knife, Demon Knife Muramasa, legend has it that this is a knife that will devour the Lord, and its boundless power brings the tragic fate of the user." Xiang Chen nodded.

"Yes, even if this knife is placed now, it is enough to cause turmoil in the world." Muramasa said with a little pride.

"I don't agree with that, you're afraid you're always confused inside the knife. What era is it now? How tough are the weapons now? With your manufacturing process thousands of years ago, I'm really afraid that you will curl the blade by cutting a G-class beast. ”

"Little bunny, you know a fart!" Muramasa was a little annoyed, as if he was a little angry, "You must know that even if it is a divine weapon in the old era, it is by no means ordinary now, ancient martial arts can shine today, how can ancient divine weapons be eliminated so easily." ”

"Uh..."

Xiang Chen was a little speechless, he felt that the old soul in this knife seemed to be a little, and he didn't like to admit defeat?

Xiang Chen thought for a while and asked again: "There is another question, why are you in my land in Huaxia with a Dongying knife, and why do you speak, Chinese..."

"Damn, you little rabbit cub don't really think I'm the soul of Dongying, do you?" Muramasa made a frictional sound again, and it seemed that his excited voice would turn into this violent friction sound, "To tell you the truth, Lao Tzu is a native of Huaxia and a martial arts master in Huaxia!" It's just a coincidence that he became the sword soul of Mushimasa.

Muramasa slowly told Xiang Chen his story.
