"Can I see the weapon that Chen-san used before?"
Chen Zhao took out the broken bronze sword directly.
Dongye Tianxi wasn't an ordinary blacksmith. He didn't forge ordinary weapons either, so he wasn't surprised by Chen Zhao's ability to take things out of thin air.
"Chen-san, since this weapon is broken, it doesn't prove that it's better than a Japanese sword."
"It's broken because it's been through too many battles. West can prove how many enemies I've defeated with this sword."
West glanced at Chen Zhao. He didn't know what was so special about the bronze sword.
But he knew that Chen Zhao definitely didn't rely on the bronze sword to defeat so many enemies.
It was all because of Chen Zhao's personal strength.
Even without the bronze sword, Chen Zhao could still use another method to defeat his previous enemies.
"It's impossible for any weapon to be indestructible forever. Can Mr. Higashino guarantee that the blade you forged will never break?"
In the past, Dongye Tianxi could confidently say that his sword was invincible and unbreakable.
But after being defeated twice by Chen Zhao, Dongye Tianxi really didn't have the courage to say that.
Nevertheless, there were indeed densely packed marks on the broken bronze sword. Who knew how many dangerous battles Chen Zhao had been through?
"This looks like an ancient sword?"
"That's right, this is an ancient sword that has been passed down since the Warring States Period. It is my family's treasured sword, and it has experienced countless battles. Mr. Higashino, you can think about it. Over two thousand years, it has experienced tens of thousands of battles, and it was only recently damaged. Do you think the weapon you forged would be more durable than this bronze sword?"
Dongye Tianxi sucked in a breath of cold air. He had really believed it.
If it was really as Chen Zhao said, then the craftsmanship of the bronze sword had already surpassed his.
Moreover, it was a sword made more than two thousand years ago.
"Chen-san, I take back my words and apologize to you."
Dongye Tianxi lowered his head and knelt on the ground, apologizing.
Dongye Tianxi was a straightforward person, but Chen Zhao wasn't ashamed of his bragging at all.
Winning this battle was something to be proud of.
"Chen-san, I can't make a weapon of the same craftsmanship. I'm sorry."
At this moment, Higashino Tenxi was also very depressed. Initially, he wanted to use his skills to prove that Japanese swords were better than Chinese swords.
In the end, Chen Zhao slapped them in the face.
Moreover, they were slapped in the face by the ancient people from two thousand years ago.
"Then come and work for me. While you work for me, you can also train your skills. One day, you will be able to forge a weapon suitable for me."
He had no choice. He needed weapons now.
Hitting people with fists and slashing people with swords were two completely different combat experiences.
What was a weapon? It was an extension of the body.
The ancients had a proverb: an inch longer, an inch stronger, and an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous.
Weapons gave people a sense of security, especially on the battlefield.
If Chen Zhao didn't have a weapon when fighting a powerful enemy, but the enemy had a weapon, the result would be the same.
Facing the opponent's attack, Chen Zhao's first reaction was to dodge, regardless of whether it could hurt him.
If Chen Zhao had a weapon, he would be much more confident.
Because ever since Chen Zhao learned how to fight, the bronze sword had been accompanying him.
Chen Zhao needed a weapon not only to increase his combat power, but also to increase his confidence and courage.
Especially since there was a huge battle waiting for him in the near future.
Even if he had to use a crappy gun to survive, Chen Zhao had to bring Higashino Tenxi with him first.
He had to deal with the upcoming battle first.
As long as the Japanese didn't have a direct conflict with their bottom line, Chen Zhao could still accept it.
After all, Higashino Tenxi had apologized for their past history and attitude at the beginning of their conversation.
This was Chen Zhao's bottom line in the subsequent disputes.
It was a conflict of ideals. Chen Zhao could accept this kind of conflict.
It was like how the Chinese said that China's cooking was the best in the world, but the French didn't accept it. This kind of ideal was harmless.
Which country's citizens didn't have a few things to be proud of?
There was no need to go to the extent of fighting to the death with such a conflict of ideals.
If you said that Japanese swords were awesome, Chen Zhao would slap you in the face.
This kind of conflict wouldn't hurt the other country's people, and there would never be an end to it.
Today, Chen Zhao had proven that China's swords were awesome, but it might not be the end.
Other than Higashino Tenxi's stubbornness in his profession, he was easy to get along with.
His family looked like a normal Japanese family.
His wife, Riko Odawara, was also full of the virtuousness of Japanese women.
To be honest, when Chen Zhao was in university, he'd wanted to find a Japanese woman to spend the rest of his life with.
At that time, there was a saying on the internet: Japanese women were the most virtuous and gentle women in the world.
At that time, Chen Zhao was also affected by this theory.
But then he met his first love.
"Chen-san, I'm sorry, but I still have the same request. As long as you can help me find the demon sword passed down in my family and subdue the Ghost King, I'll accept your invitation."
"Okay," Chen Zhao said. "I'll do my best to help you find the demon sword."
"Mr. Higashino, do you have any clues?" West asked.
"Because the Ghost King is sealed in the demon sword, it has the ability to confuse people. The Ghost King's demonic aura will also spread from the sword to the user, causing the user to be filled with demonic aura. At the same time, the user will show signs of demonization."
"Other than that?"
"If the demon sword kills the nine couples, the seal on the Ghost King will be completely undone. By then, the user will completely become a demon and become the host of the Ghost King."
"Are there any more clues?"
"Oh, the user of the demon sword will become disgusted. He won't go out during the day and will only come out at night."
"Since the user of the demon sword will be controlled, isn't it easy to unseal the seal?"
"It's not complete control. Unless the user is a violent and bloodthirsty person, there's still a basic moral bottom line. The demon sword will keep bewitching the user. The first to be killed will most likely be the person who has a grudge against the user."
West's heart jumped. "So the first victim might be related to the user of the demon sword?"
"It's very likely."
"Mr. Higashino, look at these photos."
