Chapter 171 The Secret of the Hidden Sword Old Man
"This is a magic sword that can summon evil spirits!"
The old man Cang Jian looked at the long sword beside him, his face full of fanaticism.
"Whoever wields this sword will have the power to fight against an entire nation... on his own."
Feeling the malice and chill coming from the sword that has not yet been forged.
Look at the sword again.
The straight and slender sword body, the golden round handle, the hilt that looks like a dead tree, and the most eye-catching thing is the dazzling black round bead at the top of the hilt.
The familiar feeling surged into Qin Shi's heart again.
He finally remembered where he had seen this sword.
This is the evil sword, Murakumo Ya, that appeared in the Inuyasha anime movie "The Sword of the World Domination".
Cong Yun Ya, like Tian Sheng Ya, is one of the three most powerful swords in the world.
If it is said that Tianshengya can heal all living things, it represents "heaven".
Then, Cong Yunya can attract evil ghosts from the underworld, representing the "earth".
Although both are ranked among the most powerful swords in the world, Cong Yun Ya's power is far greater than Tian Sheng Ya's.
This is an evil sword that, when inserted into the ground, will turn the surroundings into a corrupt hell, and when the blade is swung, it will summon the undead.
Looking at the old man Cang Jian again, Qin Shi also guessed the other party's inheritance.
A shabby old man wearing black striped clothes, bulging eyes, a hunchback, and a long iron hammer in his hand.
The inheritance of the old man Cangjian is an A-level inheritance, the Totosai of the Inuyasha world.
Totosai is an outstanding swordsmith in the world of Inuyasha and a subordinate of the most powerful monster, Inu Taisho.
It was he who used the teeth of the great demon to create three swords that were most powerful in the world.
His combat power was not high, only rated as A-level inheritance, but his sword-making skills were also among the best in the entire inheritance world.
"I was originally a swordsmith from Longquan Town, and my inheritance is also related to swordsmithing."
"I also forged quite a few swords."
"But... those swords are still too ordinary. They are not the swords I want most."
“It wasn’t until I came to the Sword Forging Villa and found an ancient book in the Sword Tower that introduced the method of sword forging and blood sacrifice that I realized that the sword in my mind was not far away!”
The old man Cang Jian chuckled.
"In order to have enough sacrifices for sword making, I joined the Hundred Ghosts Group and used the blood sacrifice method to make swords tailor-made for many ghosts in the group."
"Not only can I forge swords from the world I inherited, but also from other worlds."
"You can come to me, which means you have killed those knife ghosts."
"Hehe, it's nothing. After all, those seven ninja swords are just the less outstanding ones among my works!"
"And this sword beside me is the real art."
"Can you...can you feel it?"
The old man looked at the evil sword beside him and put his ear close to it, not caring even if the flames burned his ears.
"This sword is talking to me. It says it really, really wants...your blood!"
After saying that, the old man Cangjian jumped towards Qin Shi with a big laugh and smashed down with the hammer in his hand.
Where Qin Shi was standing was the black stone aisle above the sword furnace.
This black stone passageway is a wonder in itself, as it has been able to withstand the long-term baking of the underground fire without melting.
But when the hammer hit the black stone passage, it actually created cracks.
"It's powerful enough, but not fast enough."
Qin Shi looked at the opponent's attack and immediately activated the instant body technique, exerting force on his feet to move away from the landing point of the hammer.
But when he stood firm again, he found that the cracks caused by the iron hammer of the old man Cangjian were constantly expanding, forming a circle and surrounding him.
Blue flames rose from the cracks, and in just a moment they became fierce, engulfing the people in the middle of the crack circle.
“Hehe, once swallowed by the underground fire, it will directly turn into nutrients for the sword furnace.”
The old man Cang Jian stared straight at the blue flames.
"I see. Is this why you... massacred all the swordsmiths at Cangjian Villa?"
A voice came from behind the old man Cang Jian.
Qin Shi fiddled with the kunai in his hand. There was a special spell engraved on the handle of the kunai.
Before the old man Cang Jian attacked him, he had already thrown a kunai engraved with the "Flying Thunder God Style" not far away.
Although the underground fire just now was fierce, he used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to get out of the fire circle before the flames touched him.
"I have been very curious since I first entered Cangjian Villa. In such a large villa, you are the only old man who looks like a swordsmith."
"The other five sword ghosts don't look like swordsmiths either. They must be the bodyguards you hired..."
"Why...why can't I see any other swordsmiths?"
"Whether it's the sword corridor in the front yard of the villa, the abyss of broken swords in the sword tower, or the sword-making consumables with countless polishing marks on the back mountain, they are all telling me one thing over and over again."
"This villa used to be bustling with people."
"But where did everyone else go besides you?"
Qin Shi looked at the old man Cang Jian coldly.
"You killed them all and threw them into this earth fire furnace as sacrifices for your sword-refining!"
"In order to forge your own sword, you actually killed all the other swordsmiths who worked with you day and night to forge swords."
"Are you qualified to use Dao Dao Zhai's inheritance?"
In the Inuyasha anime, Totosai is a kind-hearted old swordsmith who has lived for hundreds of years.
Although he is a monster and desires to forge a powerful sword, he will not easily kill people.
Daodaosai had a direct disciple who had a great talent for sword-making, but he used the blood of a human baby to make an evil sword, and was therefore expelled from the sword workshop by Daodaosai.
But in front of him was a swordsmith who inherited the Daodaosai tradition, but he abandoned Daodaosai's kindness and used blood sacrifice to refine swords, even at the cost of his own relatives and friends' lives.
"Even if you dress like Totosai, your acting is just superficial."
After all, inheritance is inheritance. Not every inheritor of Blue Star shares the same values as the anime characters in the other world.
What is inherited, after all, is only power.
Qin Shi took out the Clow Card [Sword] and waved it lightly, and the Clow Card turned into a long white feather sword.
His swordsmanship also improved, temporarily raised to LV3.
"Hehe, for a swordsmith, swordmaking is his lifelong mission."
"Besides sword-forging, family, friendship, and even human nature are all stumbling blocks that hinder sword-forging. It is because of these emotions that I have been unable to reach the top."
The old man Cang Jian seemed to be recalling the past, and his expression gradually became distorted.
"Back then, I was just an unknown blacksmith in Longquan Town."
"Family? Friendship? What a joke!"
"In Longquan Town, where people make a living by forging swords for generations, the only thing that can judge the value of your life is the swords you forge."
