The Killing Sword was a sword that killed.
Once the sword was unsheathed, it would drink human blood. Otherwise, it would never return to its sheath.
After the middle-aged general finished speaking, the entire blood-red illusion suddenly collapsed and turned into a bubble. Ouyang Shuo slowly opened his eyes, his mind still reflecting on the sword technique just now.
At this moment, the system notification rang out.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Who Says That Has No Clothes. Excellent aptitude, strong comprehension. Received guidance from the blood-red illusion. Cultivation of" Slayer Sword Mantra "has reached — First Glimpse."
…
The sudden appearance of the blood-red illusion, the inexplicable comprehension …
By now, Ouyang Shuo was sure that the "Slayer Sword Mantra" contained a huge secret.
Other cultivation techniques did not have this, including the "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" and the "Yang Family Spear Scripture" that Ouyang Shuo practiced before. None of them had this illusion.
"System Notification: Player Who Says That Has No Clothes. Insufficient comprehension. Seven Kills: Life Kill is temporarily sealed."
…
"System Notification: Player Who Says That Has No Clothes. Insufficient comprehension. Seven Kills: Ghost God Kill is temporarily sealed."
…
"System Notification: Player Who Says That Has No Clothes. Insufficient comprehension. Ultimate skill [Hundred Mile Massacre] is temporarily sealed."
…
The three consecutive system notifications made Ouyang Shuo even more speechless. He checked his personal attributes. With the help of the "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor", his comprehension had reached a terrifying 32 points.
Even so, it still indicated that his comprehension was insufficient.
In fact, in the blood-red illusion just now, Ouyang Shuo did not know much about the last two kills and ultimate skills of the "Seven Kills". He could only slowly experience and comprehend it in the future.
Taking this opportunity, Ouyang Shuo checked his complete personal attributes.

With Ouyang Shuo's current Attributes, even among adventurer players, he stood at the very top. The only thing missing from the equipment column was probably a pair of boots.
A few days earlier, Ouyang Shuo had given the beast king scales that Song Jia had collected to Qing 'er. His request was to use these scales to sew two inner armors and two pairs of boots.
The little girl, on the other hand, was very confident. She had been staying in the tailor's shop for the past few days.
According to the progress, it should be finished soon.
It was late at night, but Ouyang Shuo didn't feel sleepy at all. He got up and drew his Scarlet Night Sword.
"Shua!" The red sword light was unsheathed. In the dim light of the night, it looked even more noble and unadorned.
Ouyang Shuo brandished the Crimson Firmament Sword in his hand and started dancing in the room. Every move he made was precisely the Seven Slaughter Sword that he had just comprehended. He danced very slowly, and as he danced, he recalled. From time to time, he would stop to close his eyes and meditate.
In Ouyang Shuo's hands, the sword move that was originally filled with killing intent didn't have the slightest bit of killing intent.
If there had been an expert there, they would have been astonished.
That was because Ouyang Shuo's sword moves seemed to be light and soft, but in fact, he had already mastered the essence of sword moves. The seemingly clumsy sword moves were actually filled with killing intent.
After a while, Ouyang Shuo sheathed his sword.
In such a short time, he was already sweating and his face was pale.
"Killing Sword?"
Ouyang Shuo murmured to himself.
A gentle breeze blew across the quiet night. Only a sigh could be heard.
The dark night faded away. A red sun slowly rose from the mountains in the east. The golden sunlight gently sprinkled on the Shanhai City that was surrounded by mountains, waking up this giant beast.
Outside the city, in the dim light of the night, farmers were pushing wheelbarrows or carrying poles, carrying fresh vegetables and fruits that had just been plucked from the vegetable fields or from the orchards into the city to be sold.
As soon as the city gate opened, the farmers lined up and entered the city in an orderly manner, disappearing into the streets and alleys.
In the city, hundreds of markets of various sizes opened at the same time, and it was bustling with noise and excitement.
The Friendship River was the market of the various chambers of commerce. It occupied the largest area and had the most variety of goods. There were all kinds of goods from the Nine King Cities. Naturally, it was the most bustling place.
On the riverside of the canyon, the pier was packed with people. Countless merchant ships were docked at the pier, waiting to unload their goods. Some were preparing to load the specialties of Shanhai City onto the merchant ships and sell them to various places.
There were thousands of porters coming and going at the pier.
The streets of the city were already crowded with horses and carriages.
The sound of children reading could be faintly heard from the private schools on both sides of the street.
Today, there were no less than a hundred private schools in Shanhai City, and they could be seen everywhere. Some were funded by the Department of Culture and Education, some were funded by Shanhai City, and some were donated by the aristocrats and merchants.
This was the reason why Shanhai City's literary style was flourishing.
Who could be sure that there wouldn't be any important officials or famous scholars coming out of these private schools in the future?
The young wives who woke up early were dressed prettily. They carried a basket and went to the market to buy seasonal vegetables. Along the way, they would also buy two bags of steamed buns from the breakfast shop as breakfast for the whole family.
When they saw their familiar neighbors, they would stand on the street and chat a little. The price of vegetables, the style of hairpins, and the material of clothes could all become topics of conversation.
With the beautiful young wives around, they could also chat about cosmetics and whatnot.
The atmosphere of Shanhai City had always been grand and majestic. They wouldn't be harsh on women. Especially the rise of a group of women like Cui Yingyou, Mu Lanyue, and Mu Guiying, which pushed the status of women in Shanhai City to the peak.
That was why these young wives could be so unbridled.
There were also young and old men who came to the breakfast shop together, drinking sweet soy milk and eating steaming hot steamed buns. They chatted about the news and gossip in the neighborhood, feeling very comfortable.
Occasionally, there would also be 'well-informed' people who would talk about the gossip of the protectorate.
"The little princess was naughty at school. She took advantage of her teacher's afternoon nap to draw a little turtle on his face."
"The housekeeper of the protectorate, Miss Zisu, took a liking to Cui Hua and recruited her as a third-class maid. She immediately rose from a sparrow to a phoenix, bringing glory to her entire family."
"A servant didn't abide by the rules and stole a vase from the protectorate to sell. When he was found out, not only was he immediately dismissed, but he was also sent to the Punishment Bureau for investigation. He couldn't avoid going to jail."
"In the backyard of the protectorate, there's an amusement park and a strange castle."
Anything that was related to the protectorate would become a hot topic of gossip among the common people. The biggest topic of the day was naturally the Zhengming Conference that was going to be held today.
The common people naturally didn't know much about the Hundred Schools of Philosophers. However, the officials attached great importance to the event, and it was a grand event. Scholars could be seen coming and going in the city.
"I heard that four or five of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers have decided to enter Shanhai City."
"What four or five? I think there are at least ten of them."
"That's right. There's no place more suitable than our Shanhai City."
"I really want to go to the royal city to broaden my horizons. What do you think the royal city is like? "
The one who spoke was clearly a refugee who had just arrived.
Ever since the merger of the three cities, the royal city had become a forbidden zone for the common people.
"Heh, speaking of which, I've been there before. I even stayed there for a period of time."
The one who spoke was an old man. Even though he was in his fifties, his body was still strong and healthy.
"Elder Zhang, you've really been there before. Can you tell us more about it?"
The people at the table immediately crowded around the old man.
Even the people at the neighboring tables craned their necks over with curiosity in their eyes.
When old man Zhang saw this, he smiled faintly and said, "You young lads, you came too late. Last year, when I first came here, Shanhai City wasn't as big as it is now. "
"That's right, that's right. I heard that our Shanhai City was just a small city in the beginning. It was Lord Zhang who led everyone to build it up to its current scale. "
"What small city? I heard that it was just a village in the beginning."
"Elder Zhang, you're quite knowledgeable. What do you think?"
Elder Zhang replied with an unfathomable expression, "It was indeed a village."
"That's incredible!"
"Don't ask so many questions. Let Elder Zhang tell us what the royal city looks like."
The young man at the beginning was a little anxious.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"The royal city is really amazing. The ground is paved with golden bricks, the railings are made of jade, and the buildings are carved with paintings. It's beautiful beyond compare. In the royal city, there's an altar to worship the heavens and a grand temple. The ancestral hall of our ancestor, the Yellow Emperor, is built in the royal city. The most amazing thing is, of course, the Marquis Lian's residence. It's really magnificent … "
Elder Zhang's words were half-true and half-false. Most of them were made up by him. His literary talent was not bad. After a lively explanation, the group of young people who were listening were shocked and exclaimed from time to time.
The scene that happened in the corner of the street was just a portrayal of Shanhai City. The same scene was happening in every corner of the city, forming a vivid picture of the human world. (To be continued.)
