Chapter 158 A Man's World

Silence. At this moment, the stone chamber was as silent as death. You could almost hear a pin drop. Only my rapid breathing echoed in the air.

"This knife... could it be alive?" I swallowed my saliva in astonishment, then raised my hand and gently touched the handle.

When my hand touched the handle of the Zanling Knife, it jumped violently at my waist like a kitten whose tail was stepped on.

I was startled and subconsciously retracted my palm. After a while, when I saw that it was not abnormal, I reached out my hand again and put my hand on the handle.

This time, the Soul-Slaying Knife did not continue to beat, but as my palm kept gently rubbing the handle, I suddenly felt a blood connection with this knife.

I suddenly grabbed the handle of the knife fiercely, and then pulled it out fiercely.

"What's going on? Why can't I pull it out again?"

I was shocked, because I couldn't pull it out just now.

I didn't give up, and pulled hard again, but still couldn't pull it out.

"Could it be that this knife is really alive and has its own thoughts and consciousness?" I thought to myself, if that's really the case, then this knife is too awesome, right?

I suddenly remembered the scene just now. When I pulled out the Soul-Slaying Knife, it began to tremble violently in my palm. The frequency of trembling was so fast that my arm was almost numb. Moreover, it was not so much that I was using the knife, but rather that the knife was using my hand to kill people more accurately. After all

, at that moment, I was already numb all over, and my hands and feet were out of control. It was the huge power of the Soul-Slaying Knife that brought me to my feet and cut off the head of Deputy General Liu with one blow! But

why was it so coincidental that when I was in danger and about to die, it suddenly came to life?

I took a close look at the scabbard and immediately found a reddish-brown mark on it. I touched it with my hand and found that it was actually dried blood.

"Could it be that my blood triggered it?" I couldn't help swallowing my saliva, because if that was the case, then what was the origin of this knife!

A knife that can only be pulled out of the scabbard after drinking human blood, this is too... weird!

Just as I was staring at the Zanling Knife on my waist, I suddenly heard a "bang" sound. I looked up suddenly and saw that it was the Taoist Shadow floating up from the pool.

He stared at me solemnly, his eyes moving back and forth between my body and the Soul-Slaying Sword. After a long while, he said in a low voice, "Your master actually passed on the Soul-Slaying Sword to you? And you can actually pull it out?"

I frowned when I heard that, and then asked in a low voice, "Is it strange to pull out this sword?"

"A precious sword that can scare away ordinary evil spirits with its blade energy once it is unsheathed, do you think anyone can pull it out?" Taoist Shadow said with a gloomy face, "As far as I know, even the disciples of your lineage's ancestor Tian Linzi can't pull it out. You know, all those who can be accepted as disciples by Tian Linzi are the chosen ones, and each of them has extraordinary qualifications. However, they can't pull out this sword. To be precise, they are not qualified to use this sword."

I was shocked when I heard this, because it was only at this moment that I suddenly remembered that even my master had never pulled out this sword, at least, he had never pulled it out in front of me.

"Could it be that even my master can't pull out this sword?" I was secretly shocked.

If this is true, then doesn't it mean that the conditions for using this knife are very harsh?

Then why can I use it?

What is so special about me? 7K妏敩

Is it just because I am a cloudy sky sign?

“Hehe, in ancient times, I don’t know how many emperors had sleepless nights and were frightened every day because of this knife!” Taoist Shadow grinned and said, “You know, in the legend, this knife once killed a real dragon and drank the blood of a real dragon, and those ancient emperors were both afraid of this knife and wanted to get it. The reason they wanted to get this knife is not that they wanted to use it, but that this knife was too threatening to them. Even a real dragon could be killed by this knife, let alone those emperors who called themselves the Nine Fives and the True Dragon Emperor? So instead of having it in the hands of others and threatening yourself, it is better to have it in your own hands!”

“Then why is this knife passed down from generation to generation in our lineage of Yin people?” I asked in a deep voice.

The ancient emperors were so powerful that millions of soldiers would die at the command of a single order. Even the country belonged to them. With just a sword, wouldn't it be easy for him to get it?

But what Shadow Taoist said next shocked me.

"Hehe, you are from the Yinren lineage. Not only are you highly skilled, you also behave in a domineering manner, especially in the generation of Tianlinzi. After Tianlinzi obtained the River Map and Luoshu, his Taoism improved by leaps and bounds. Countless masters died at his hands. Someone once united hundreds of masters to surround and kill him, but he not only escaped, but also killed hundreds of masters. In that battle, there were corpses everywhere and blood stained the mountains and forests. This battle caused heavy losses to the martial arts world at that time. Most of the masters were killed or injured, resulting in a fracture. It can be said that Tianlinzi alone suppressed the entire martial arts world. He bowed his head. It can even be said that in that era, Tianlinzi was the only one in the world, and the rest of the people were just born to complement his power! Even the emperors were scared all day long, fearing that they would fall asleep and be cut off by Tianlinzi, and would not see the sun the next day. "

Speaking of this, the Taoist in the shadow had a yearning look on his face: "Tianlinzi back then could really be called the reincarnation of a banished immortal. There were even rumors that he had become a land immortal and lived as long as the heaven and the earth, but now it seems that it is all nonsense!"

"Eternal life, immortal life... How many people have been beaten to a pulp for these two words, and how many emperors have sought immortality and ignored the rules of the court, but in the end, it was all in vain! But..."

At this point, his eyes suddenly condensed: "If I can get rid of you, then... I can use this knife. By then, let alone the imperial teacher, even the real dragon will have to surrender to my knife! The thousand-year plan will be made for me by then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he lightly tapped the water with his toes, and then he actually walked on the water and rushed towards me quickly.

I was shocked when I saw this, and wanted to retreat, but my body was numb, and my legs were like being filled with lead. At this moment, I stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Boy, I will seize you first, and then search your soul. By then, not only will this Soul-Slaying Sword belong to the Taoist, but even the River Map and Luoshu will belong to the Taoist, hahaha..."

He laughed wildly, and his speed increased a bit.

But at this moment, he suddenly paused, and then his face changed drastically.

Then he saw a hand stretched out from under the pool, grabbing his ankle with a "snap".

"What is that!" Shadow Taoist was horrified and was about to struggle, but the hand suddenly pulled and pulled half of Shadow Taoist's body into the pool.

Then, he heard a "gulp" sound, and a person slowly floated up from the pool.

"It's you, you, you actually... survived!" Shadow Taoist screamed, but the next moment, his voice stopped abruptly.

It was the person who floated out of the pool who grabbed his throat.

Then, I saw that person slowly turned his head, looked at me with empty eyes, opened his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "I smell the scent of an old friend. What is your relationship with Zhang Du'e?"
