Chapter 11: The Sword of Defeat
Ao Ri, the ancestor of the Sword Villa, once joined forces with ten swordsmiths to forge a world-famous sword with a piece of thousand-year-old cold iron to annihilate the scorching fire qilin.
However, when the sword was about to be completed, nine of the ten swordsmiths who participated in the sword casting were successively tortured to death by the ferocious killing qi in the defeated sword, so Ao Ri and the only remaining swordsmith gave up forging this fierce and evil sword and buried it in the sword mound.
Although the "Sword Shrine" is a forbidden place in the Sword Worship Villa, it is naturally impossible for Mrs. Ao, who is the owner of the Sword Worship Villa, not to know this place, nor to know the existence of the Sword of Defeat.
If Zhang Xiao wanted a "peerless sword", Mrs. Ao might not be able to agree, because this sword was left by her to her son Aotian, but the sword of defeat was actually no different from waste to the Sword Worship Villa, so in the face of Zhang Xiao's request, she agreed without hesitation.
Among the sword mounds, there are thousands of sharp swords, most of which have rusted and lost their former style, but one can still imagine what these swords were like in their heyday.
Looking at these sharp swords, whether it was Mrs. Ao or the Zhuang Ke under her command, their faces showed a solemn expression, and their steps couldn't help but be a little lighter.
Among these sharp swords, there may be a famous magic weapon back then, but it is not the one Zhang Xiao wants.
If Zhang Xiao's memory was not wrong, the Sword of Defeat should have been buried in an ancient tomb under the sword mound.
Zhang Xiao walked a few steps in the sword mound, carefully perceiving the situation underground, and knocked on the ground with his hand.
Not much. Zhang Xiao circled a place and commanded
"Dig down. ”
After all, Baijian Villa is a strong party. There are not a thousand strong men in the village, but eight hundred. Among them, there are naturally many people who are good at civil engineering.
With the concerted efforts of the villagers, a passage was quickly carved, and it took about three or four hours of effort to finally dig up the ancient tomb and lift a heavy bronze coffin.
After Mrs. Ao ordered someone to open the copper coffin, she took out a copper box from it with her own hands.
"Sir, this is the treasure of Zhenzhuang, the sword of defeat. Madame Ao opened the copper box. put it in front of Zhang Xiao and said softly.
It was a very inconspicuous sword, and it could not even be described as a "sword", because it only had a rough outline, and not only did it have no blade, but it could only be called an iron rod in the shape of a sword.
Although this sword looks extremely inconspicuous, the aura contained in it is terrifying.
Dead and dilapidated.
When Zhang Xiao grasped the hilt of this sword with his hand, he felt such a terrifying thought, although this sword of defeat looked rusty. Some of them are no longer in the shape of a sword, but the murderous aura contained in it can still make the world terrified.
Zhang Xiao picked up the Sword of Defeat and waved it casually, forming a huge sword aura. Cut it down at an old tree on the side of the road.
Zhang Xiao looked over and found that it was only a few breaths, and the ancient tree had withered and decayed. In two or three days at most, this ancient tree that has survived for thousands of years will quietly decay and die.
You must know that the sword in Zhang Xiao's hand is just a defective product. This fierce sword has been sealed for too long, and the sword soul is missing. The guide zhì has been eroded by the turbidity and miscellaneous gas under his hands for a long time, and the ferocity is not there, and its power is no longer enough, if Zhang Xiao can return it to its roots, I really don't know how earth-shattering its power will be.
"This sword is a good match for me, I love it. Zhang Xiao couldn't help but speak.
"If this is the case, the little woman will make the decision to give this sword to her husband," said Mrs. Ao without thinking.
Hearing Mrs. Ao's words, Zhang Xiao hesitated.
If he accepts Madame Aride's sword of defeat, then he must do something for Madame Aride in exchange.
Zhang Xiao knew that Mrs. Ao's request could only be one, that is, to teach Aotian to become a talent.
This condition is not difficult, it just takes a little effort, the crux of the problem is that although Zhang Xiao likes this sword, he can't use it.
The reason why the Sword of Defeat is a good match for Zhang Xiao is because the demonic nature in his body is in line with the idea of death and ruin in the Sword of Defeat, if the Sword of Defeat is used to cast the magic sword, then the power will inevitably be doubled.
It's a pity that a knife is a knife, a sword is a sword, and Zhang Xiao is not Gongsun Zhi, so it is impossible to use a sword to make a sword move, and use a sword to make a sword move. Martial arts, if it is not a donkey or a horse, then it can only be a mule.
If it was just a set of ordinary martial arts, Zhang Xiao might still be able to turn the sword technique into a sword technique, but a near-perfect sword technique like the magic knife, Zhang Xiao could not do anything.
Although Zhang Xiaohui has a lot of martial arts, but in the swordsmanship, he does not have too many attainments, if Zhang Xiao wants to use the sword of defeat as his own blade, then he must find a set of peerless swordsmanship.
What a chicken rib.
Zhang Xiao thought about it and decided not to consider the issue of the sword first, and planned to restore the sword of defeat to the old level before making a decision.
"Cheap for you. Zhang Xiao sighed and said to the sword of defeat in his hand.
After that, Zhang Xiao cut his wrist with the Sword of Defeat, and let his blood spill on the Sword of Defeat.
Suddenly, the Sword of Defeat seemed to be "alive", and when Zhang Xiao's blood dripped into the Sword of Defeat, the blood immediately penetrated into the body of the sword, and immediately formed one blood-colored pattern after another on it, like a person's meridians.
As the blood that Zhang Xiao dripped on the Sword of Defeat was completely absorbed, the rust on the Sword of Defeat faded a lot, restoring a little of the brilliance of the past.
"What a peerless sword. Zhang Xiao couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhang Xiao had seen the Huolin Sword used by Duan Shuai, and he had also felt the bewitching power contained in the Huolin Sword, but compared to the ferocity of the Sword of Defeat, the Huolin Sword was nothing more than that.
Zhang Xiao even suspected that unless he killed himself with the Sword of Defeat, used the essence and blood of his whole body to complete this peerless blade, or used the Sword of Defeat to kill the Fire Qilin, the Divine Dragon and other beasts of heaven and earth, otherwise this Sword of Defeat would not really recover.
Of course, if Zhang Xiao is willing to water the Sword of Defeat with his own blood every day, wash the sword with blood, and spend several years of water grinding work, it is possible to wash away the filthy qi in the Sword of Defeat, and may even be connected with the Sword of Defeat and its bloodline.
It's just that the price is a little too great.
Of course, if Zhang Xiao really wants to use the Sword of Defeat as his weapon, then no matter how big the price is, it is worth it, after all, the Sword of Defeat is also a rare weapon in the world, ranking among the four fierce soldiers in the world, even if it is a peerless sword that is terrifying, the Huolin Sword of Broken Waves is inferior by three points.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Xiao had to hesitate. (To be continued......)
