The seemingly inconspicuous storage room that Xiaoqi's father took me into was dizzying with a dazzling array of knives and blades.

In the face of my surprised affection, Xiaoqi's father showed a smile and said, "Give you time to pick a handle from inside, and I'll wait for you outside the house." ”

When the words fell, Xiaoqi's father walked away, leaving me alone in the world of swords.

The storage room was medium-sized, but it was filled with almost all of the space with the sword, and it was necessary to turn sideways to pass through the rows of wooden shelves where the swords were placed.

It seems that the swords here are carefully selected and collected here, although there are a large number, but judging from the cold light of the blades, on weekdays, Xiaoqi's father has spent considerable thought and experience on the maintenance of these weapons.

It's said to be a sparring competition, but I think in the next fight, I must have been abused unilaterally, or I should choose some sturdy and thick blades, which look delicate and full of carved swords, to be honest, not suitable for use in this actual battle.

After trying two long swords, I shook my head and said, "The weights are uneven, and although I can use them, I don't feel very comfortable." ”

Just as I was talking to myself and preparing to choose the next one, a knife in the style of a Tang straight knife came into my eyes, this knife was placed in an inconspicuous place, the handle and the scabbard were all black, unlike those well-maintained knives, it looked old.

Intrigued, I took it off the knife holder, lightly pushed the knife with my right thumb, held the handle of the knife with my left hand, and pulled it out, and then my eyes furrowed.

The blade of the knife was grayish-black, covered with rust, and distributed unevenly on the blade, but despite this, the blade was still sharp, more than two feet long and about an inch wide.

He waved it casually but it was surprisingly easy, although the blade was covered with rust, but in my opinion, with a little maintenance and rust removal, he would be a great knife.

Compared to those sword blades that emit cold light and have no scratches on the blade, maybe this one is the most suitable for me.

That's it.

I sheathed my knife and was about to walk out of the storage room when a sharp pain came over my right shoulder, so sudden that it almost made me scream.

However, this pain only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace, I looked at the pain from my right shoulder in puzzlement, and then pulled the neckline, so that the right shoulder was bare and observed, there was no change, and there was no sign of redness and swelling, and then I lifted my right shoulder and tried it, and there was nothing wrong.

Seeing that there was nothing out of the ordinary, I put the matter behind me, turned off the chandelier in the storage room, and walked out of the place.

Xiaoqi's father saw that I had chosen the knife and walked out of the storage room, and immediately set his eyes on the knife in my hand.

Seeing the slight changes on his face, I looked at the rusty knife in my hand and asked: "I have been in your collection for a long time, and finally decided to use this, those collections with exquisite shapes, but there is not even a trace of scratches on the knife body, I don't think it is suitable for use in the competition with you." ”

Hearing my words, Xiaoqi's father looked at me, then at the knife in my hand, and said, "So you chose this rusty blade?"

I nodded and said, "Although the blade is full of rust, and from the overall point of view of this knife, this is a knife that has experienced many battles, and all kinds of scars are all over the blade of the blade, as well as the scabbard, but these still can't hide the fact that it is a good knife, but it has become like this only if it is neglected to be maintained..."

Then a smile appeared on the faces of Xiaoqi's parents and said: "Among the hundreds of blades, you can choose it, maybe all this is the guidance of fate, although this knife is a good knife, but it is full of evil and anger, every time it is unsheathed, it will give the user bad luck, when I got it about ten years ago, I have not been able to fully control and suppress it, and it is precisely because of this that I will leave it for a long time and do not want to take care of it."

This sword is called 'Cang Ming', and there is a set of sword skills called 'Cang Ming Ten Slashes' to match it.

It's not so much that you chose it, but that it chose you. “

After hearing Xiaoqi's father, I looked at the old scars in my hand, and it didn't look like he was lying, but I didn't find anything unusual on this knife, if it was related to the pain in my right arm that pierced my heart for a moment, but the pain only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.

Just as I was looking at the Cang Ming in my hand, Xiao Qi's father's voice came into my ears again, and he said to me: "I am very happy to see that you have your own opinion on swords, let me see how you control the 'Cang Ming' in your hand." ”

Then, Xiaoqi's father walked to a clearing, assumed a fighting posture, and said to me, "Let you attack first." ”

Now that he has been promised to compete with him, this battle must be inevitable.

Out of the sheath, with a knife in one hand in my left hand, my body jumped and jumped towards Xiaoqi's father.

I saw that he was not in a hurry, and the moment the long knife was horizontal, blocking and bounced off the blade of the firmament blade, the long knife in his hand swung forward, and the blade did not retreat but advanced towards me.

I was startled, and my body suddenly retreated, and because the ground was covered with snow, I almost fell unsteadily.

Stabilizing my body, I looked at Xiaoqi's father a little embarrassed, but fortunately this was just a fight, he did not make any further pursuit movements, but stood in place and looked at me.

If he had been an enemy, perhaps I would have been pierced through the chest by the long knife in his hand.

In front of him, Xiao Qi's father was holding a long knife, but he did not speak, and at the same time signaled to attack him again.

Breathing steadily, I went on the offensive again.

This time, I used both hands to hold the firmament, the blade was on the right side of my waist, and suddenly struck diagonally towards the left front, and then when the blade of the darkness controlled by me was just halfway slashed, before I could use all the power, I only felt a terrifying force coming from the blade, forcibly blocking my soon-to-be-completed action, and then I changed to the posture of the blade on the right side of my waist.

Xiao Qi's father's eyes were like electricity, as if he had insight into all my thoughts, and he could always defuse my attack, and now he struck my blow back with the long knife in his hand, and the blade turned into a knife and smashed on my chest.

Although it deliberately controlled the force, the blow also knocked me back several meters, and for a moment the pain in my chest hit.

At the moment, Xiao Qi's father, who is holding a long knife, is like an unshakable giant, and if he wants to defeat him, in my current situation, it is really a fool's dream...
