1. The Madman Sharpens His Knife at Night
Outside the dilapidated village, an old man's body lay on a pile of dry firewood; he appeared to be dead. Beside him, a young man knelt alone for a long time.
Then, urged by the surrounding villagers,
"Master He Chen, please accept my condolences. We should hurry up and light the fire, or it will get dark!" A burly man kindly reminded him, looking at the sky.
"Okay, thanks for the reminder, Uncle Bear." The young man on the ground slowly got up, took the torch, lit it, and flames shot into the sky!
"Yes, Mr. Shen, please accept my condolences!" A young and attractive woman standing nearby comforted him, accompanied by a young girl.
"Thank you, Aunt Lan, I understand!" He Chen replied in a low voice.
The fire continued to burn, and the neighbors and villagers who had come to see him off all left. It was getting late!
Looking at the raging fire before him, He Chen felt as if he were still in a dream.
Who I am, whether it's Zhuangzi dreaming of being a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of being Zhuangzi, isn't that important at this moment; my memories are crystal clear!
The most important thing right now is to survive!
Remembering the old man's words before he left,
He Chen, I am not your biological father, and you are not my biological son. After I die, burn me in a fire. I don't want to become a monster and harm people in the future. Don't ask who I am, it doesn't matter anymore!
There's something I left for you under the kitchen water tank!
Remember, if you're afraid, never bring it up. Perhaps a simple, unassuming approach is better!
After saying that, the old man let go and left!
He Chen, who was still a little confused, realized that his father seemed to have never mentioned his specific name!
After burning the fire to ashes, I hurriedly packed up my father's ashes and rushed home!
This world may contain gods and ghosts, demons and ferocious beasts; it's too unsafe to be out in the wild at night!
Only after returning home did I slowly have time to sort out my thoughts!
This place could be described as a wild and untamed land. The founding emperor of the Divine Continent possessed unparalleled military prowess, sweeping across the eight wastelands and six directions, expanding its territory.
After unification, a large army was dispatched to nearly wipe out the monsters and cannibalistic barbarians on the border!
However, after the army cleared the area, no troops were stationed there for long. More than 20 years have passed. As time goes by, monsters, strange creatures, and barbarians begin to stir again, and the spying and probing have begun!
This place is located in a border area, where the climate is harsh and cold. If they were not forced to leave, anyone with a little skill would have already gone to the big county towns to make a living!
Moreover, in this world, there are powerful beings in martial arts, gods and ghosts, the underworld, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. It is said that these powerful beings can split mountains and rivers, capture dragons with one hand, and travel thousands of miles in an instant!
It is said that in the prosperous areas of the Divine Land, the popularity is so high that it is frighteningly high, with a population of tens of millions. Evil spirits and demons are afraid to go there, not to mention little ghosts and demons, who would probably be annihilated if they went there!
After sorting out his thoughts, He Chen went to the kitchen and moved the kitchen water tank away!
A hidden compartment opened!
What comes into view is a knife, a long knife, four feet long and a palm wide, with a single blade, sharp and thick, giving a sense of stability!
The words "Gentleman's Knife" are also engraved on the mountain of knives. I've only ever heard of "gentleman's sword," so where does this knife come from? A gentleman wields a sword, while a brute wields a knife!
Holding it in my hand, a heavy, chilling feeling emanates from the blade; this is undoubtedly a deadly weapon!
A swordsmanship book, its secret manual called "One Slash, Three Thousand Cuts," sounds hilarious just from the name. But upon closer inspection, it claims that when mastered to perfection, a single slash unleashes an additional 2,990 additional sword strikes from all directions.
It is impossible to defend against, every strike has the same power, and the shadow of the blade can be cast at will, whether at close or far!
It can also be converted from three thousand into one, increasing its destructive power by three thousand times!
Three thousand slashes a day, or three thousand slashes a second, is more like it. How can one slash be three thousand?
This is truly amazing, but let's put it aside for now!
One cultivation technique: Thunder and Fire Cultivation Technique
Upon opening it, the spiritual energy within the body transforms into the power of thunder and fire. Thunder suppresses evil spirits, while fire scorches everything!
Having lived two lives, regardless of which world it was in, whether it was filled with fire or thunder, both were extremely terrifying!
Needless to say, the flames are quite high; ordinary firewood reaches 600-800 degrees Celsius, while natural gas flames reach 800-1700 degrees Celsius.
The steel furnace reaches over 2000 degrees Celsius, making it very powerful!
Lightning strikes can be life-threatening at 70 volts, let alone those above 220 volts, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of volts.
A typical thunderstorm can generate hundreds of millions of volts!
How can an ordinary person cultivate like this? They'd probably turn into charcoal before they even succeeded!
There's a greater chance that not even a trace will be left!
I can't believe it. Even if it's true, it's not something an ordinary person can cultivate. But I have to give it a try!
In a helpless situation, one should still look at the attributes that come with it, for attributes are the foundation for one's survival.
Having lived two lives, one can choose not to use certain attributes, but one cannot be without them, otherwise a violent death could occur at any moment!
