Chapter 4: The Whetstone

As the leader of the beggar army, Zhang Xiao couldn't stay in this blacksmith shop all the time, and his ears didn't hear anything outside the window.

In fact, the beggar army was able to gain a firm foothold in this land, and a large part of it was because of Zhang Xiao.

But every time he went out of the blacksmith shop, it was the most unbearable torment for Zhang Xiao, because there was no blacksmith shop as Zhang Xiao's prison, so Zhang Xiao had to press a prison on his heart.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao has aged very quickly this year, and it is absolutely difficult for Zhang Xiao to tell how old he is from his appearance, it is okay to say that he is twenty years old, or thirty years old, and if he is forty or fifty years old, it is almost the same, even if Zhang Xiao is that kind of old man, some people believe it.

Originally, Zhang Xiao's age was one of the root causes of the instability of the beggar army, but now this matter is no longer a problem.

Of course, after paying these prices, Zhang Xiao's soul has gradually been sharpened.

You must know that the original requirement of the "Demon Urging Eighth" is to make a move with people, so that the demon seed is wielded to the fullest, and the demon seed and people's hearts are melted, and the divine will is converging, and the changes are endless. Man is no longer human, and the demon seed is not the demon seed. But Zhang Xiaotong guò "self-struggle" has crossed this link, and he knows how much Zhang Xiao's soul has changed.

Zhang Xiao's current heart is like the sword that he has just forged.

In the past year, Zhang Xiao has actually only forged a weapon, a heavy, unedged sword, just like Zhang Xiao's own mind.

When Zhang Xiao finished building this sword, he naturally broke through the "Eighth Demon Urging Demon" and reached the point of "Becoming a Demon Ninth".

Originally, Zhang Xiao was supposed to get out of the customs and then do something he wanted to do.

But for some reason, Zhang Xiao stayed for a few more days, and kept beating this forged heavy sword.

Zhang Xiao knew that he didn't have to do this, because Zhang Xiao's sword had already been formed, and it had been successfully forged, according to what Zhang Xiao imagined.

As the saying goes, "the heavy sword has no edge, and the great skill does not work", although this is only an unopened sword, but it definitely has the potential to become a famous sword.

Because its master is a strong man, because his master has been able to submit **.

You must know that ** is a flood beast, and if you want to subdue this flood beast, you must have extremely terrifying spiritual power.

The reason why he imprisoned himself for half a year was to subdue the flood beast in his heart.

And this process was so successful that he really survived to this point with perseverance that he could not even imagine.

The goal had been achieved, and he should have indulged and soothed his tense nerves.

Originally, Zhang Xiao should have eaten a big meal, because a bird faded out of Zhang Xiao's mouth.

Originally, Zhang Xiao was supposed to get drunk, although Zhang Xiao didn't like to drink, and it could even be said that he didn't drink a drop of wine, but at this moment, Zhang Xiao felt that he could drink three jars of wine in a row.

Originally, Zhang Xiao should have done some kind of exercise that he loved to do, because he hadn't enjoyed that wonderful taste for a long time, and a year of abstinence made Zhang Xiao have some kind of impulse.

But I don't know why, Zhang Xiao actually stayed in the blacksmith shop for three days, and lived a hard life for another three days, just like in the past year.

When Fu Qian told Zhang Xiao of Qu Ao's reply to "One Battle in Seven Days", Zhang Xiao finally understood why he was still in this blacksmith shop.

He actually forgot that since he had seen Dugu Feng's sword path and received two blows, he had absolutely abandoned the sword.

He had forgotten that his weapon was a knife, a knife that had killed countless people and was called "Blood Slaughter".

Fortunately, after countless tempering, the material of this sword has become extremely strong, and it is already considered a piece of fine iron, a piece of fine iron with almost no magazines.

Zhang Xiao pulled the bellows to make the stove and put the heavy sword into the furnace again.

Soon the heavy sword became red, so Zhang Xiao used his left hand to pick up the red-hot heavy sword with iron tongs and put it on the anvil, and raised a big hammer with his right hand to strike.

He kept thinning the heavy sword, and finally molded it into the shape he wanted.

That's a scabbard, an unpretentious scabbard.

Zhang Xiao forgot that his original favorite weapon was the scabbard, which was Zhang Xiao's own weapon in the true sense.

Seeing that the original iron sword was made like this, Zhang Xiao finally showed a satisfied smile.

Knowing now, Zhang Xiao knew that he could "get out".

Because this time, Zhang Xiao's soul has been "leakless".

From now on, Zhang Xiaomo said that in the face of Qu Ao, even if he faced Bi Xuan, he had a belief that he would win.

Zhang Xiao knew how strong Qu Ao was, and he also knew how strong Bi Xuan was.

If Qu Ao, Yun Shuai, and Zhang Xiao are the same famous grandmaster-level powerhouses on the grassland, then Bi Xuan is the "god" on the grassland.

**The reason why it is the biggest strength on the grassland is largely because of Bi Xuan.

Bi Xuan in the prairie for no reason, famous for decades, the spear in his hand weighs ninety-nine pounds, the spear name is "Agu Shihuaya", is an ancient Turkic language, meaning the trace of the moonlit night, the year of the battle of the charge, the grassland from the invincible, the first debut has been known as "no one can knock him off the horse", and now it is known as the "three great masters of martial arts", is a peerless figure who has entered the realm of the grandmaster.

A strong man like him is undoubtedly what Zhang Xiao wants to challenge the most, because defeating Bi Xuan means that Zhang Xiao is only one step away from shattering the void.

Of course, the opponent that Zhang Xiao must face first is "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao, if Zhang Xiao loses this battle, then it is natural that everything will be stopped.

Compared with Qu Ao, Zhang Xiao has advantages and disadvantages, strengths and weaknesses.

Qu Ao is not a simple character, and Qu Ao, who was not defeated in the hands of Bi Xuan, is even more difficult.

Ordinary martial arts practitioners can practice to the point of luck and heart, and they can already be called masters. But if you want to outperform others, you must seek change in them in order to overcome the enemy.

The way of change lies in the cultivation of the acupoints in the body, which are the hubs of the meridians, and the difficulty of them cannot be compared with ordinary qi training. To be able to use the trick points as the source of controlling the true qi transmission, it is the realm of first-class masters.

Qu Ao is a genius in martial arts, and at the age of twenty-three, he successfully practiced seven tricks and created the "Seven Turns of the Wild Waves", but it was not until ten years later that he could practice one more trick, which was "Eight Twists of the Storm". It is hard to imagine.

By the age of forty-one, the whole body can be controlled at will, and it is also called "Nine Changes of Ningzhen", "nine" does not refer to the nine points, but because "nine" is the extreme number, and takes its endless meaning. Martial arts have only been completed so far, and the heart of the war has been born one by one.

Of course, Zhang Xiao knew the result of that battle, that is, Qu Ao was defeated very badly, and in the end even the "heart of a warrior" was lost, and his martial arts fell into an embarrassing realm of not advancing but retreating.

But even Bi Xuan in that situation, in the face of Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Bai Fenghan, the three of them could still have the upper hand.

Therefore, if Zhang Xiao had no scruples about making mistakes, Qu Ao at this time would be slightly inferior to the "Yin Queen" Zhu Yuyan, and would be a step stronger than the "South China Sea Immortal" Chao Gongcuo.

Therefore, for Zhang Xiao at this time, Qu Ao is undoubtedly the best whetstone, a whetstone that challenges Bi Xuan and finally embarks on the road of shattering the void.
