Chapter 77 Afraid
Chapter 77 Afraid
Everything seems to be a fleeting glimpse, and several changes can occur in a moment of thought.
When the Divine Sound Sword in Cao Qiupu's hand was knocked away, Du Hanyan had already thought of several possibilities in her mind.
She needed to take the initiative and force the young man back before he could kill Cao Qiupu with a single blow.
Just like what Cao Qiupu did when he saved her.
What should be done afterwards?
Ask the junior sisters to take back the Divine Sound Sword and give it to Cao Qiupu.
As long as he can regain control of the Divine Sound Sword and use the Seven Laws of Heavenly Sound Sword Technique, that young man will not be his match.
The reason for the defeat in this battle was that Cao Qiupu wanted to save people too much.
As long as he loses his compassionate heart, even if the knife in that person's hand can confuse people's minds, he will never be a match for Cao Qiupu.
However, before she could carry out these plans, changes occurred again.
The third young master, who had always stood with Wenrou, took action.
The single sword that had never been unsheathed suddenly came out of its sheath. Although Du Hanyan had always thought highly of him, she found that she still underestimated him.
It was an immeasurable sword technique, and the path of the blade was chilling.
With just one blow, the young man's knife-holding hand was cut off.
The knife and the hand just flew out.
Finally, with a clang, it fell into the fog.
Everything returned to normal at this point. Cao Qiupu was still waiting to die with his eyes closed, but he didn't die after waiting for a long time. He couldn't help but open his eyes and saw Chu Qing in front of him.
There is no need to ask more questions. The young man who fainted after breaking his right hand has already explained a lot of problems.
Seeing this, Cao Qiupu let out a sigh and said to Chu Qing:
"Thank you."
Chu Qing glanced back at him, a little surprised. Seeing how hesitant and fussy he was when he started to fight, she thought that he was too ruthless and would say that she was too cruel because of his chastity.
I didn't expect to receive a thank you in return.
As if sensing the meaning in Chu Qing's eyes, Cao Qiupu smiled bitterly:
"It was my own soft-heartedness that nearly led to a huge mistake, as I wanted to save his life as much as possible.
"Brother, you saved my life at the critical moment. How dare I say bad things to you?"
Chu Qing curled his lips, not interested in these heroes who talked about benevolence and righteousness.
He sheathed his knife, walked up to the young man, took a quick look, and frowned slightly.
Although he was not proficient in medicine, he knew that the young man was in a very bad condition.
His meridians were broken and his internal organs were weakened. Although he is still alive, he seems like just an empty shell.
Life has long been like a candle in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time.
Chu Qing frowned and tapped him twice.
The young man coughed violently and then opened his eyes, but the darkness in his eyes was no longer there.
He was panting heavily, seemingly unable to feel the pain in his wrist, and looked at Chu Qing in confusion:
"You...who are you?"
"The gangster who passed by here was almost killed by you."
Chu Qing's voice was a little cold.
“…Yes, I’m sorry.”
The young man was stunned, then he subconsciously looked at his right hand.
When he saw the wound on his wrist, he asked Chu Qing in disbelief:
"Did you do this?"
"Yes."
There was nothing to deny, so Chu Qing nodded.
The young man smiled bitterly upon hearing this, with a look of relief and regret, but no hatred in his eyes.
Chu Qing looked at him quietly:
"You're going to die."
"I know."
The young man's voice was very calm. He glanced around the field. After seeing the bodies of the villagers, a trace of grief appeared in his eyes. He spoke softly:
“Ever since I touched that magic knife, I knew I wouldn’t live long.
"It's a pity that I can't leave Qingxi Village...
"They used force outside the village. At first, they wanted to prevent us from escaping, and later they didn't want me to leave... cough, cough, cough..."
When he said this, he suddenly coughed violently and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
Cao Qiupu, Du Hanyan, Wenrou and others also gathered around at this time.
Hearing him say this, Du Hanyan couldn't help but ask:
"Do you know who set up this maze outside the village?"
Speaking of this, the young man's eyes suddenly showed deep hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"It's the Divine Sword Hall!!"
Du Hanyan and Cao Qiupu looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.
There are fierce disputes and constant conflicts within the Divine Sword Hall, with life and death fighting going on every day. How could anyone have the leisure to come to Qingxi Village to stir up trouble?
"What exactly is going on?"
Cao Qiupu asked solemnly.
The young man glanced at everyone present and spoke softly.
Qingxi Village is indeed a village that has made a living by forging weapons for generations, but the weapons they forge are all delivered directly to the Divine Sword Hall.
After the Divine Sword Hall obtained these weapons, they sold them to various places and distributed the money they earned to the villagers.
They had been cooperating with each other for many years...until the rumor that Jiang Shendao's "destiny was about to end" spread, and he suddenly and unilaterally cut off the connection with Qingxi Village.
Until three months ago, a man suddenly came to the village.
The village chief and the elders in the village all knew this person and knew that he was Qi Guan, the third in command of the Divine Sword Hall.
“At that time, the village chief and Qi talked in the room for a long time, but they ended up parting on bad terms.
"The village chief got really angry and said he would never have anything to do with the Divine Sword Hall again...
"As a result, the village chief suddenly died at home that night.
“Then a new village chief was elected… and just as the village chief took office, Qi Guan returned.
"Then the new village chief asked all of us young and strong men to gather in the square in front of the main hall.
"Tell us, we are here to forge a unique sword!"
When the young man said this, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
"The Chaos God Sword?"
Du Hanyan asked in a low voice.
The young man nodded weakly:
“From that day on, all of us have been busy forging the Chaos God Sword.
“The material of that knife is very special and requires very high temperature to forge into shape.
“But even so, forging is not easy.
“We need a few strong young men to beat it repeatedly day and night.
"It went through a series of secret processes, and it took more than two months to forge it into shape.
"Then the nightmare began."
At first everyone was happy.
If you don’t want to be the best martial arts master in the world, you are not a good master.
A blacksmith who does not want to be the best blacksmith in the world is not a good blacksmith.
Being able to gather everyone's strength and forge an unprecedented divine sword makes everyone feel proud.
But at this point, something went wrong with the forging.
“That piece of iron suddenly became extremely hard, and no matter how hard we forged it, it had no effect at all.
"At this time, the new village chief appeared and told us that this knife needed to be washed with the blood of hundreds of families before it could be used as desired.
"And when the new village chief said that only a drop of blood from a fingertip would be enough, everyone came forward, pierced their fingertips... and became sword puppets."
"Knife puppet?" When Cao Qiupu heard these two words, he thought of the villagers who were like walking corpses.
“Use blood to attack the enemy, and use weapons to control their spirit.
“No one knew at the time that when we dripped our blood and mixed it into the Chaos God Sword, we were sacrificing our entire spirit to the sword.
“From then on, I became a puppet of the sword, not knowing life, not fearing death, and completely becoming a puppet of the sword.
"That piece of iron...that knife, it shouldn't be a thing of this world!!"
The young man's tone became high-pitched and excited at this point.
He was held down by Cao Qiupu so he did not jump up.
Chu Qing's pupils also shrank slightly. A drop of blood could turn into a knife puppet? Isn't this too unreasonable?
Is there such an evil thing in the world?
Then the young man took a deep breath and looked up at Chu Qing and others:
“But it’s not over yet!
“If you want to truly forge the Chaos God Sword, you need more people… and more human lives!
“At first, we just thought they ran away because they couldn’t stand the hardship of sword forging and the hardship in the village… No one expected that these people didn’t run away, but died.
"The truth was soon exposed. How can a sword that needs human lives to be sharpened be a divine sword?
“This is clearly a magic blade!
"And at this point, Qi Guan also tore off his disguise...
"He captured all the young and strong men in the village and ordered them to set up a maze outside the village.
“They didn’t let anyone in the village escape… Then, they threw those strong men into the furnace one by one in front of us.
"Refine the sword with blood, and sacrifice the sword with human lives!
"Just like that, for one or two days, everyone was in despair, wailing and begging for mercy, hoping that Qi Guan would be kind enough to spare our lives.
“But it was no use… He only had eyes for the knife.
"The knife in the furnace is getting darker and darker. The word 'Luan Shen'...Luan Shen'...I carved those two words with my own hands...Hahahaha!"
He laughed so hard that he almost collapsed, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, making him look a little crazy.
He murmured:
“I don’t know how many days had passed, but thick smoke filled the air around the furnace, and a thin layer of mist gradually rose around Qingxi Village, which was originally fog-free.
“Sometimes, I can’t tell whether it’s fog or smoke, or the souls of the innocent people who died in the furnace.
"Qiguan didn't lock us up, we can still go home and do what we want to do.
“Old people whose children have died have no bodies to bury. They can only offer tablets, sit in despair, and cry in the darkness…
"Finally, the day came for me."
That day, the young man noticed Qi Guan's anxiety.
After all, it had been many days, and all the young and strong men in the village were brought in for sacrifice.
Qingxi Village also became a living hell.
Unfortunately, the Chaos God Sword has not been released yet, it is always a little short of the mark...
The young man who should have been thrown into the furnace walked to the front of the furnace on his own. He did not go in, but took out the Chaos Sword from the furnace under the gaze of everyone.
The flowing water of the waterfall drives the power of the waterwheel, which keeps the furnace going.
The Chaos Divine Sword, wrapped in blazing flames, appeared before everyone's eyes.
A thunderclap suddenly sounded in the gloomy sky, and Qi Guan's panicked voice followed:
"Throw him in!!"
But it was too late...
Qi Guan was not a blacksmith, so he naturally didn't know that forged weapons needed to be taken out instead of waiting for the knife to jump out by itself.
This heavy rain allowed the Chaos Sword to complete its transformation in an extremely fast manner.
The young man holding the knife also understood something in a trance.
This is a cannibal knife.
If the knife master cannot subdue the knife the moment he holds it, the knife will bite back at him.
The rest of his memory was not clear. He vaguely saw that the people who were originally gathered in the village square suddenly changed their appearance.
Their spirit was fading, their lives were slipping away, but the edge of the Chaos God Sword was becoming more and more fierce.
The young man vaguely remembered that there was an obsession in his mind, and that was killing!
Kill anyone who dares to appear in Qingxi Village, and kill everyone in the Divine Sword Hall.
The most important thing is...Kill Qi Guan!!
Avenge this heinous blood feud for the more than 600 people in Qingxi Village! !
Afterwards, his eyes were covered by a dark shadow, until tonight, until this moment, when he finally regained his sanity.
"I vaguely remember...the sword puppet couldn't move during the day.
“So we can only go out at night.
“The obsession to kill everyone prevented me from being completely devoured by the knife.
"I saw you around here during the day..."
When the young man said this, he looked at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing nodded. Even if the corpse became a sword puppet, it would be difficult for it to move during the day, so the only one who could move during the day was this young man.
The figure I saw today was him.
After hearing the whole story, Cao Qiupu and Du Hanyan couldn't help but look at each other.
They both saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes.
But we cannot exonerate Qi Guan based on the opinion of only one family.
Who knows if there is any other hidden story behind this matter?
No one can guarantee that everything this young man said is true. What if he himself was deceived?
Therefore, Cao Qiupu spoke in a deep voice:
"We will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!"
"Where's the Chaos God Sword?"
Du Hanyan suddenly raised a question.
"I remember it fell over there..."
Cao Qiupu glanced at Chu Qing and saw that he had no objection, then he got up and went to look for him.
Du Hanyan and others followed.
For a moment, only Chu Qing and the young man were left here.
The young blacksmith did not feel happy about Cao Qiupu's words. An explanation...what kind of explanation?
By the time the explanation comes, I'm afraid I'll be dead.
"I can help you kill him if you want."
Chu Qing's words suddenly rang in my ears.
The young man subconsciously looked at Chu Qing:
"Kill who?"
"The culprit that caused the Qingxi Village tragedy."
Chu Qing said softly:
"But I helped kill people, and you need to pay the price."
"Is the Chaos God Sword enough?"
The young man grinned.
"…You are putting the blame on others."
Chu Qing was stunned.
"Do not."
The young man shook his head:
"There's one thing I didn't say just now...
"After I saw you in the daytime, according to my obsession, I should have attacked you immediately.
“But… I don’t dare.
"Because of the chaotic gods, it seems like they are afraid!"
