2. Madman's Night Sharpening of the Knife II
A strange feeling suddenly washed over me; I felt stronger, faster, and could jump higher and leap farther. My physical strength and mental agility were enhanced!
I never imagined that swordsmanship could temper the body and improve all attributes!
At this moment, he was practicing various techniques and variations of the sword, as if he had been practicing for hundreds of years, until finally the two swords became one!
The "one slash, two strikes" technique can be summarized as fast, unpredictable, and cunning. One slash can be delivered in front, behind the enemy, or to the left or right. The position is entirely at the enemy's discretion, making it a truly terrifying move!
And it's fast! It's so fast, almost uncontrollable, that no one has time to react!
If it weren't for the panel, I probably wouldn't have been able to cultivate to this level in this lifetime. It's simply illogical!
He Chen was so engrossed in his own world of swordsmanship that he forgot himself and the world around him!
Chop, mince, slice, cut, scrape, lift, stab, pluck, split, entwine, fan, block, slide!
The various changes at this moment seem to have undergone hundreds of years of use, and the sending and receiving are done at will, reaching a level of unparalleled skill!
Then, after an unknown period of time, at least an hour, I felt incredibly hungry, as if I were about to be devoured!
He Chen quickly went to the kitchen to find something to eat. He ate a flatbread that was originally meant for breakfast, but he was still hungry!
Seeing the chicken on the ground, he quickly plucked its feathers, roasted it over a fire, and then wolfed down all the meat, leaving not even the head! Only then did he relieve his hunger!

After diligently practicing and mastering the skill of "One Slash, Two Cuts," one can clearly feel one's own blood and energy becoming more vigorous. However, the blood and energy cannot leave the body, but can be attached to the weapon to slay demons and evil spirits!
Arriving at the small courtyard outside the gate, he gripped the gentleman's knife, lowered his body slightly, and gathered all his strength, feeling as if ten thousand horses were galloping. With all his might, he chopped at a piece of firewood as thick as half a bowl in front of him, so fast that he couldn't even control himself, and he couldn't even imagine how fast it was!
"Peng",
The firewood in front of me was actually cut into three pieces with a single stroke! Three pieces in one stroke, it really was!
So he spent the whole night practicing his knife skills diligently!
It was just getting light when I realized I was too tired to stay awake any longer, so I went straight to bed!
In a daze, he heard wailing and crying! There were adults and children! He Chen quickly grabbed a kitchen knife and ran outside, his heart filled with fear that if it was a wild animal or bandits, he would be in big trouble!
Following the sound, I found it was very close to my house, and it turned out to be Aunt Lan's house!
The two bullies in the village were wicked and the villagers generally dared not provoke them. No one knows how they came back. It is said that they ran away to the county town and are living a good life!
"Stop crying! Let me tell you, your husband is dead and owes us money. We're selling your daughter now, and then we'll find you a good family in the county. You'll be set for life, won't you be better off!"
A village bully, dressed in a black open-fronted jacket and exquisite animal skin shoes! He wore a silver chain on his wrist!
"I'm annoyed by the crying!"
The surrounding villagers gathered, their eyes filled with anger, but for the time being no one dared to step forward!
'How could he be dead? What will become of me, a widow and orphan? My husband was out earning money, how could he owe you money?'
Aunt Lan still couldn't believe it!
"Look, it's written clearly in black and white," the village bully said, waving a piece of paper in front of him.
He Chen looked at the crooked words on it; they weren't black and white at all, they were all black!
"Aunt Lan, just listen to them. You can't support your daughter yourself. Selling her to a matchmaker would be much better. We'll find her a good family, and you can find a wealthy one too. You'll be set for life, carefree and happy without having to work. Isn't it great to find a rich family?"
This was also offered by Muramasa's wife, who feigned concern and offered advice!
"What wealthy family? They're all just sold to brothels and flower shops! Let me tell you, I'd rather die than go there! Nobody can take my child away!" Aunt Lan roared frantically, looking at the crowd with pleading eyes.
Everyone's eyes darted away for a moment!
"That's not up to you. You owe money, so pay it back. If you don't, you're coming with us," the village bully said, reaching out to grab the person and take them away.
They're no pushovers; once we get to the county seat, they'll have ways to deal with you!
Aunt Lan glanced at He Chen and the others one last time in despair. Seeing that no one was helping her, she prepared to grab the child and run into the house!
The village bully quickened his pace, determined to seize Aunt Lan.
At this moment, looking at Aunt Lan's desperate eyes and the little girl's innocent confusion, unaware that such a tragedy was about to befall them,
He Chen was suddenly filled with nameless rage. When the King of Hell is angry, a true man with a sword should help the weak. If he does nothing now, his heart will be tainted in the future. What use are attributes then?
"Stop!" He immediately drew his knife, stepped forward, and roared!
The voice immediately silenced the village bullies, who looked at He Chen. The village head's wife and son also looked at He Chen!
"You have no proof, you're trying to fool me with just a fake piece of paper. I'll give you two choices: get out or die." He Chen spoke first, emphasizing the word "die," as if a disagreement could lead to a life-or-death struggle!
"When have we ever lied to anyone? You little scholar, just focus on your studies and stop meddling in other people's business," the village bully said, recognizing He Chen as the only scholar in the village.
There are quite a few scholars in the county town, but there's only one in the village!
"I'm going to take charge of this matter today. You've deceived everyone; you've utterly disregarded the law." At this moment, He Chen no longer felt the fear he once had. Holding the knife in his hand, he held it to his shoulder and roared again in a low voice, "Get out, or die."
