Chapter 377: Quenching
In the face of Yue Yefeng's ridicule, Xu Kun didn't care at all. He also ignored Dou Yanshan behind him, he picked up his sword and faced this Yue Yefeng wholeheartedly. He was in a very excited mood now, very different from the one he had worried about at the beginning.
The reason for his change of state of mind was because of the sword in his hand. This sword is no longer the sword he used to come, but Li Mu's Thunder Sword. Although the original sword was a masterpiece cast at the peak of the Sword Drawing Villa, and it was the first of all the swords in the Sword Drawing Villa, it was still inferior to the Thunder Sword.
After getting the Thunder Sword, Xu Kun was shocked again and again. Its sharpness refreshed Xu Kun's cognition again and again. Xu Kun had never seen such a sharp sword in his life. He studied for more than half a month, but he couldn't understand the casting process. This made Xu Kun call incredible.
The art of forging swords in the world is still a method handed down from ancient times. However, in ancient times, swords were mostly bronze, unlike today, which were mostly wrought iron. But no matter how the technology changes, in the final analysis, it is still a process from cold to hot and then from hot to cold. No matter how much the red clay sword furnace blows on the rivers and lakes, its manufacturing process is probably still in this trap, but it has been optimized to the extreme in some steps.
With Xu Kun's immersion in casting techniques for more than 50 years, he can't imagine how the thunder sword was cast. If the mystery can be solved, then the Sword Drawing Villa will naturally surpass the Red Clay Sword Furnace by the Green Water in one fell swoop. Thinking of this, Xu Kun was naturally high-spirited.
But it was the joy of having the opportunity for him to realize his ambitions, not the excitement. His excitement was simply the feeling of being a swordsman and getting a good sword.
A swordsman, half of his strength, comes from the sword in his hand. A good sword, even if it falls into the hands of a weaker swordsman, can increase the strength of that swordsman. Not to mention that a swordsman of Xu Kun's level got a good sword that he praised. That's not as simple as one plus one equals two, but it's equivalent to adding wings to the tiger.
Because of this sword, Xu Kun's strength has also completely changed.
Jiang Shuo, known as the Immortal Stone Buddha, was the leader of the Kunpeng Gang back then, and a man who walked out of the King Kong Temple. Even if Xu Kun was much older than Jiang Shu back then, he had to admit that Jiang Shu's fame and strength were far above him. When he was still in the realm of Tibetan meaning, Jiang Shuo was already known as the Four Ming Kings of the Law Minister!
However, after that, Jiang Shuo was said to have been seriously injured and disappeared. When he reappeared, he had already snatched the shark pearl, fought against all kinds of masters, and entered Yacheng in spite of the ban. When he entered the city, Zhuge Qinmo and Wang Yi, plus Qu Yanxia, the No. 1 Grandmaster of Tianzi, and Jiang Chengxue stopped him. If it hadn't been for the Son of Heaven's dictation, he would have probably died outside the city.
Xu Kun stepped into the realm of gods by himself, even if he had a sword that had been bred for a long time, he felt that he could not defeat Jiang Shu. But when he has this thunderous sword, he has confidence. Jiang Shuo's kung fu is a vein of the King Kong Temple, and the attack is powerful, not to mention, the defense of true qi is also commendable. It was only fitting to use him to try this sword himself.
"Fame and fortune. A smile appeared on Xu Kun's face, he stretched out his hand to draw his sword, and put away his smile, "If you don't want to be killed by me, just retreat." This sword will be dangerous. Before he finished speaking, his true qi had risen from under his feet, blowing all his beard.
Dou Yanshan saw that he was about to move seriously, and immediately took his two sons to retreat. The rumor that Xu Kun had entered the realm of deity had spread in Lingzhou, but Dou Yanshan had never seen his deity and appearance, let alone his true strength. So he chose to do insurance and avoid the edge for the time being.
Yue Yefeng, who was locked by Xu Kun's qi machine, was not so lucky, and he explained to Yi Fan and Leng Zizhou: "You guys retreat away, this old man is not easy to deal with." ”
Seeing Yue Yefeng's nervous expression, Yi Fan also put away his laughter, he frowned, pulled Leng Zizhou and stepped back. "You guys, look for an opportunity. Save Li Mu. After Yue Yefeng said this, he raised his arms, and King Ming appeared and protected him.
Xu Kun looked at Yue Yefeng, thinking about his past in his mind.
When I was young, the rivers and lakes had not yet made up for the inexplicable person, and it was the most glorious time of the Sword Drawing Villa, which was really like a city. The people of the rivers and lakes stepped through the threshold, so as to beg for evil, just to be able to obtain the qualification to draw a sword in the villa.
The sword furnace is opened, the sword is placed in the sword domain, and those who have paid a lot of money to obtain the qualification to draw the sword draw their sword in the sword domain. This is to pay attention to which edge word, which sword is pulled out, which sword is which. If you want to get a tailor-made sword, that price is too high.
Xu Kun often recalls that scene in his dreams. After all, that was also the most glorious time for him, the young owner. Famous, favorable, beautiful. Back then, the high-spirited young owner of the Sword Drawing Villa also walked through a river and lake road in a dashing manner.
Such days ended more than twenty years ago, after the reputation of the Red Clay Sword Furnace became famous all over the world.
After that, the Sword Drawing Villa declined step by step, and most of the customers, sword masters, and swordsmiths left the Sword Drawing Villa and turned to the embrace of the Red Clay Sword Furnace. Falling from the sky to the clouds, the original old owner couldn't withstand the blow and died. Xu Kun, the owner of the young village, accepted this stall, which can be said to be a long way to go.
In order to make the Sword Drawing Villa rise again, Xu Kun has made a lot of efforts, whether it is lowering his posture, cooperating with major forces, or devoting himself wholeheartedly to studying casting skills. In short, it is precisely because of his painstaking management that there is today's Sword Drawing Villa.
This brilliance, downfall, and resurgence. It's his experience, it's his state of mind. Xu Kun used this to create a swordsmanship. This sword technique was born from the original sword drawing sword technique of Sword Drawing Villa, and it was a sword he comprehended from the process of sword casting.
The most critical process of forging a sword is quenching. No matter how good the material of the sword embryo is, if the quenching fails, it will completely destroy the sword. There are many ways to quench and there are many steps. For example: normalizing, annealing, tempering, etc. And Xu Kun's sword, the name of the sword is quenching!
Xu Kun held the sword in one hand and aimed the sword at Yue Yefeng.
The moment he saw the tip of the sword, Yue Yefeng felt the hairs around his body stand up, and there was a burning sensation rushing to his face. Yue Yefeng didn't dare to be careless, he flipped his palms and palms to the sky. The same is true of King Ming. He wants to fight this sword with the strongest Vajra Fetus.
"Calcined in fire and tempered in water. Xu Kun muttered, only to see the hot steam behind him, which actually distorted the air. In the midst of this distortion, a figure slowly appeared. The man was covered with a mask over his face and a bib around his lower body. The upper body is naked, revealing a strong muscle. He has a long sword in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand, and he is in a posture of raising a hammer to strike.
This is Xu Kun's strange appearance - swordsmith.
The swordsmith is a human being, and when he enters the level of birds and beasts, flowers and trees, this is the appearance of the spirit in the world, and it should be of the middle grade. Dou Yanshan watched as the swordsmith stopped the sledgehammer and stabbed Yue Yefeng's immovable king with his left hand. The sword was handed very slowly, but Dou Yanshan felt the extraordinaryness in it. "The old man...... I really have the confidence to say big things. ”
The long sword stabbed at the King of Fudo Ming, and Yue Ye Maple Leaf had been waiting for a long time. He mobilized the true qi of his whole body, and pushed forward with both palms, it was that move Vajra Fetus Hide! The golden true qi condensed like the rising sun, shining above the hands of King Ming. With a pair of hands forward, he collided directly with the swordsmith's long sword.
A dazzling light flashed, forcing everyone in the square to look directly. The light deprived everyone of their vision, and then a loud bang could be heard. When the brilliance receded, a strange scene appeared in the square.
I don't understand that the true anger between Wang Zun's hands is agitated, but it is the long sword of the swordsmith that is clamped. The tip of the sword was only a few feet away from King Ming's body, but King Ming firmly controlled the long sword and couldn't let it go any further. As for the ground, Yue Yefeng also grabbed the Thunder Sword in Xu Kun's hand in a posture of entering the white blade empty-handed.
For a moment, the two were at a stalemate. At this moment, the swordsmith's right hand moved. He raised the hammer in his hand and smashed it down at the end of the long sword! The force of the impact was suddenly born, and the long sword in his left hand was about to break free from the shackles of King Ming's palms and advance towards King Ming's chest.
This move came suddenly, Yue Yefeng frowned, and a swastika appeared in front of King Ming, resisting the sword in the swordsmith's hand. And on his own chest, too. However, King Ming blocked the swordsmith's sword, but Yue Yefeng's true qi did not block the Thunder Sword.
Under Xu Kun's hammer, the Thunder Sword broke through Yue Yefeng's True Qi defense and stabbed Yue Yefeng's chest. The indifference on Yue Yefeng's face finally disappeared, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously raised his true qi and attached it to the texture, wanting to use his own King Kong to resist this sword.
It's a pity that this sword is a thunder sword. It was Li Mu who brought it out of the immortal tomb, a sharp sword that is rare in the world. Under the blessing of Xu Kun's true qi, the Thunder Sword pierced Yue Yefeng's true qi and stabbed into Yue Yefeng's chest.
The moment he stabbed, a stream of true qi gushed out from behind Yue Yefeng, cutting the square down one layer entirely.
Blood slowly poured out of the wound, and the pain pierced Yue Yefeng's heart even more. Yue Yefeng roared, regardless of whether the thunder sword was still in his chest, he slapped it out directly. Xu Kun saw the tip of the sword piercing Yue Yefeng's chest, he was a little happy in his heart, he never thought that Yue Yefeng's angry counterattack would be so swift and domineering. Carelessly, he was slapped on the chest by Yue Yefeng. He could only hear a few crisp sounds in his chest, and his whole body flew upside down and fell down the hillside.
After beating Xu Kun, Yue Yefeng also immediately covered the wound on his chest and stopped the bleeding. At first, the wound was not too deep, but the true qi passed directly through the chest, causing Yue Yefeng to suffer internal injuries. In addition, he hit Xu Kun's palm with all his strength, and in order to hit, he had to get closer to Xu Kun, so he hit the tip of the sword instead, and his injuries were a little more serious.
"That sword, how can it be so sharp?" Yue Yefeng frowned, "Ahem, this is really pecked by the little family sparrow." ”
