In the Blade

Han Qingqiu is a swordsman, ranked ninety-eighth in the Hundred Weapons List.

Many times, Han Qingqiu wanted to ask the person who made this list if he was blind, and actually ranked him in such a position. Yes, in terms of martial arts itself, he is indeed ordinary, but what if the Qinglan Sword in his hand is counted? The force blessing brought to him by this fierce weapon is not a little bit.

With a sword in hand, he is full of evil spirits, and he is a strong man who can sit in one side. With such strength, he should be ranked in the forties or fifty, right? How come he is ranked ninety-eighth?

Ninety-eighth, this ranking is too embarrassing. If you say it is low, at least it is still in the Hundred Weapons List, but if you say it is high... it is not much higher. The ninety-eighth place in the Hundred Weapons List is too weak for anyone to see, even for Han Qingqiu himself.

So, since he is so weak, can he be easily crushed to death?

Obviously, many people thought so, which directly led to Han Qingqiu being quite painful for quite a while. He would be challenged when he was eating, sleeping, taking a walk, and even taking a bath. Anyway, those ordinary martial arts heroes didn't care too much about whether the duel was fair. They thought that as long as Han Qingqiu was killed, there would be one less person in the Hundred Weapons List.

The person in front died, and the person behind would naturally follow to fill the position. Wouldn't the ranking be raised?

"You are not done yet!"

Once again, when he was in the toilet, he stabbed a martial arts hero who wanted to assassinate him with a sword, and Han Qingqiu finally decided to make some changes.

So he has been looking for those masters to fight recently, and prove himself in this way. As long as he can kill those who are ranked higher than him, it will naturally prove that this wild list is unreliable. Even if his own ranking is raised, at least he can dissuade many martial arts people who want to take advantage of him.

Of course, as a decent knight, he can't really chase after the people on the list and kill them.

Perhaps for ordinary people, if they have some martial arts and weapons in hand, they are knights walking in the rivers and lakes - but in Han Qingqiu's view, these people are just people in the rivers and lakes who know a little bit of kung fu. The so-called martial arts are just some farming skills, and the so-called weapons are no different from iron sheets.

Even if these so-called knights speak, who will listen?

A real knight is completely different from a man in the rivers and lakes. For example, Han Qingqiu himself, no matter how ordinary his martial arts are, they are excellent martial arts taught by a special coach since childhood. The Qinglan Sword in his hand is a family heirloom made by a master craftsman. Even if there is no evil spirit, it can be called a magic weapon.

So even if he doesn't mention the Hanjiawubao that prepared all this for him, and the five manors in his family, when he goes out to travel in the rivers and lakes, people will bow and respectfully call him Han Daxia.

So as a real knight with a family and a career, he can't just act casually. If he just wants to kill a few people in the martial arts world, it's okay, but if he fights with another knight, it will be troublesome - everyone has a family and a career, and if they really get angry and kill each other, how many people will die?

So most of the time, knights can't fight each other. After all, the martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships. Everyone has a wide range of friends, and sometimes they are even related. God knows which friend's younger generation will be killed with this sword, and which relative's close friend will be killed.

So, this is the problem.

This one can't be killed, and that one can't be killed. Does he have no chance to show his martial arts in this life?

No, there is still a chance.

Han Qingqiu is an upright knight after all. With upright knights, there are naturally evil thieves. For example, recently, he has been tracking a thief, the bandit leader of the nearby Datangshan Qingyun Village, known as the "Golden Sword Man" Song Yan.

Unlike these chivalrous people who already live here, Song Yan came from outside. Some time ago, the grassland people went south and the army passed through the border. Those hungry grassland people naturally would not let these bandits go. Even though Song Yan's ranking in the Hundred Soldiers' Chart has reached 72nd, he still chose to flee south when facing the army.

This is the first crime of the thief Song Yan. He was afraid of fighting and fled in front of the grassland people. Where is there any blood in him?

Run away if you want, Song Yan has legs on his body, and no one can control him, but Song Yan should never enter Datang Mountain. It would be fine if he entered Datang Mountain, but he even went out to do a few things, directly broke into several manors, and looted countless wealth - even Han Qingqiu's manor was robbed, how could he bear it?

This is Song Yan's second crime, killing innocent people and destroying lives, such a thief should be killed by everyone!

So several nearby manors united and prepared to show Song Yan a bit of power, and Han Qingqiu, who had been waiting for a long time, found a perfect opportunity to take action - so while Song Yan was out looting again, several of their families rushed directly into Datang Mountain, surrounded Qingyun Village, captured the whole family of the bandits, and prepared to show Song Yan a bit of power.

But who would have thought that Song Yan was actually a ruthless person, and before they could say anything, he took the initiative to swing his knife and kill them.

With the sword flashing across, Song Yan's entire family was killed by Song Yan himself!

This is Song Yan's third crime, and also the most serious one. Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, and animals have a love for their calves. This Song Yan is so cruel that he doesn't even care about his own family. How cruel is this?

"This animal is no longer a human! He must be killed!"

Everyone rushed forward and surrounded him.

It is said that they rushed forward, but in fact, only the knights headed by Han Qingqiu could do it. As for the rest of the young and strong servants, they might be able to fight ordinary people, but facing a master like Song Yan, they might lose their lives in vain. What's more terrible is that the death of these people may even make Song Yan infected with evil spirits, making the thief more crazy and stronger!

And the facts have proved that their judgment is correct. Song Yan's name of "Golden Sword Man" is indeed not in vain. I saw a golden sword flying up and down, and under the brilliant light of the sword, he actually resisted the siege of five knights by himself.

The battle was like this, and the strength comparison between the two sides was actually very obvious. None of the five people could take down a person, which meant that the other side really lived up to the status of being ranked 72nd in the Hundred Weapons List. On the other hand, Song Yan, the golden sword man, fought five people alone but failed to quickly kill any of them. If he continued to fight, he would easily be dragged to death.

So, after a moment of confrontation, the first to flee was Song Yan, the golden sword man.

Maybe if Song Yan held on for a while, he could wait for these five people to reveal their flaws, but Song Yan killed his own family at the beginning, and it was obvious that he had already retreated - so in the end, it was these local knights who had the last laugh, and they chased Song Yan with weapons one by one. Just looking at this posture, they were going to beat the drowning dog!

However, Song Yan, the golden sword man, was not an ordinary drowning dog.

As we all know, people are taller and shorter, and their legs are naturally longer and shorter. With the five people chasing at full speed, the encirclement was pulled into a straight line because of the different speeds.

When Song Yan was surrounded, he had to deal with five people at the same time, but now...

When Han Qingqiu, who was the last one to catch up with the thief, he only saw the bodies of the other four knights.

And the golden sword chopped down in front of him.

"You dog! Die!"

Facing the golden sword man who killed four knights in a row, and the golden sword that became more and more weird after being soaked in blood, Han Qingqiu dared not raise his sword to block it.

Fortunately, there was still some distance between the two sides, so the attack and defense changed positions.

Fighting and blocking at the same time, Han Qingqiu didn't know where he was forced to. He only knew that if he was a little slower, even a little slower, he would be chopped by the golden sword man!

"How is it possible! How could it be! No way! Never!"

No one would be willing to die on the spot, especially when they had the upper hand just now, but were suddenly chopped by a knife... Han Qingqiu refused to accept it. He didn't want to die like this. He wanted to live and kill this thief!

At this moment, Han Qingqiu suddenly felt that some new power was injected into his sword.

"Evil spirit! It's evil spirit!"

Han Qingqiu had never been so happy.

Under the infiltration of evil spirit, the Qinglan Sword in his hand gradually bloomed with brilliance. As this power became heavier, the illusory sword shadows he swung gradually turned into more solid and sharper sword energy.

This time, the sword energy no longer escaped, but shattered the knife light head-on.

"This is it! This is it!"

Han Qingqiu, standing with a sword, had never been so high-spirited.

"You bastard! Come again! Keep fighting! Aren't you crazy! Now! How do you feel, how do you feel!"

Under the sword energy, the sword light swung by the golden sword man Song Yan was defeated step by step. Just looking at his increasingly cramped figure, it seemed that he was about to be skinned alive by the sword energy!

However, at this critical moment of life and death, the golden sword man Song Yan suddenly broke through.

The loose sword light gathered together at some point, forming a more condensed sword light. The golden sword man swung the sword in his hand, and for a moment, golden light was everywhere, and the sword light flew everywhere, and he accurately swept down every sword energy swung by Han Qingqiu!

"You..."

It was at this time that Han Qingqiu discovered that the golden sword man had killed someone again.

He hadn't noticed it when they were fighting before, but now that he had come to his senses, he realized that there were a lot of corpses on the ground. As for how many people there were originally, he probably couldn't count them, after all, the corpses on the ground had been cut into pieces.

"You bastard..."

This was the fifth sin of the man with the golden sword.

He dared to kill innocent people in front of him. Such a villain should be killed by everyone!

But that's what he said, but in fact, he was following the man with the golden sword, and for a while, he was in a state where no one could do anything to anyone. The man with the golden sword could cut off his sword energy, and he could also break the sword light of the man with the golden sword. If they continued to fight, unless someone was exhausted, they might not be able to get a result even after three days of fighting.

So, both sides raised their weapons at the same time.

"Hah!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, Han Qingqiu and the man with the golden sword both hit each other hard - it was at this moment that they realized that their ideas were almost the same. They both wanted to fight with one move to distance themselves first, and then look back to see if there was any chance to fight back.

After swinging his sword, the man with the golden sword fled without looking back. Han Qingqiu also did not choose to continue chasing him, but simply went back to recover.

In this battle, it seemed that the man with the golden sword ran away, but Han Qingqiu knew that he was the real winner.

The reason was very simple. The village of the man with the golden sword had been destroyed. This foreign bandit had no foothold in the local area, so it was not so easy for him to recover from his injuries. On the contrary, he went back to lie down in the fortress, applied all kinds of excellent golden wound medicines on his body, and was treated by famous doctors, as well as various expensive foods to replenish qi and blood. His recovery speed was many times faster than that of the man with the golden sword.

Just like now, only three days have passed, and the man with the golden sword has not shown any signs of showing up, but Han Qingqiu has recovered as before and even went out to kill people.

"Are you sure that the big man with the big knife is here?"

Outside Kangping Mountain, not far from Datang Mountain, Han Qingqiu, who was about to enter the forest, turned around and asked the tenant beside him.

"Is it in the cave in front?"

"Yes! I saw it!"

The old tenant nodded repeatedly.

"I saw him carrying a big knife with my own eyes! It must be him!"

"Okay, there is nothing for you to do here, go down and collect the reward."

Having said this, Han Qingqiu drew out the Qinglan Sword he carried with him.

Yes, this is another place where he won. This is his territory, a place that his Han family has run for generations. Everyone here is his eyes, and when he speaks here, there are really people listening.

On the other hand, the big man with the golden knife, after losing the village, he might have become deaf and blind. Just like now, he has already touched the front, but the big man with the golden knife has not realized what is about to happen.

"Dog...die!"

The violent sword energy poured into the cave, and the entire cave collapsed on the spot.

Yes, he would not be so stupid as to just go in. No matter how stupid the man with the golden sword is, he would set up some alarms at the entrance of the cave. If he really went in, he might be ambushed.

This method is the best solution now. He has taken the initiative by standing outside the cave. Even if the man with the golden sword can block his sword energy or even crawl out of the collapsed cave, he might have lost half his life under the repeated attacks. At that time, he will just wait for him to tire himself out...

"...Hmm?"

Han Qingqiu suddenly felt that something was wrong.

There was indeed a figure crawling out of the ruins of the collapsed cave, and there was indeed a big sword on the back of that figure.

But...

Is the man with the golden sword so tall?

"Which beast did it!"

The little giant, who was nearly two meters tall, threw the half bag of mushrooms he picked aside and looked around.

Then, the little giant lowered his head and looked at Han Qingqiu who was holding a sword.

"Is that you?"
