Chapter 1823 The Final Challenge
In fact, Sashkas had noticed the sword as early as when Gu Xiaobai was competing with Aunt Feidao just now.

Among Gu Xiaobai's weapons, this sword is indeed very special, it is really hard not to notice it.

On the one hand, all other long swords are simple and low-key, only this sword looks more gorgeous.

On the other hand, the "pedigree" of these weapons also looks significantly different, giving Shashkas an unspeakable sense of familiarity.

At this time, the sense of familiarity with this long sword became even stronger.

This is also a saber with a slightly curved hilt towards the blade and a cross-shaped jaw that looks like a "t" shape.

The entire handle is inlaid with a whole piece of yellow lake, and dozens of different gemstones are inlaid with gold on the lake.

There are more than 20 rubies alone.

In the very center of the hilt, inlaid with a huge ruby, showing a scarlet red, square cut, more than 20 carats.

This is a pigeon's blood red ruby. From ancient times to the present, there may not have been more than five such rubies in human society.

Each one is priceless.

In addition, the hilt is also decorated with opals, emeralds, topaz, purple diamonds...

These gemstones are cut into drop shapes, circles, squares, rhombuses...

All kinds of gemstones and inlays are dazzling.

Even more shocking is its value.

Although Gu Xiaobai was a little bit annoyed at this flamboyant European royal sword, but just holding the sword, Sashkas' hands trembled.

It's so gorgeous!

Sashkas felt that if he turned around and ran with this sword in his hand now, he probably wouldn't have to work hard for ten lifetimes.

This sword is so valuable!

But it is not flashy, empty has a beautiful appearance.

The sword body of this sword presents a beautiful "Mohammad pattern", which is repeatedly folded like a pattern of clouds. Obviously, it uses Uzi steel from ancient India as a material.

This is a kind of cast pattern steel, which is different from forged welded pattern steel, such as Chinese swords; quenched pattern steel is different from Japanese swords. After sharpening, this kind of steel will form tiny serrations that are hard to see with the naked eye. Can make the blade sharper.

In modern times, this kind of steel and craftsmanship is even more famous, and its name is "Damascus steel".

As early as in ancient times, this kind of steel-forged weapon itself was invaluable, and it was a symbol of dignity and status.

Its special feature is that its steel smelting method can only be mastered in the East, but the best weaponsmiths, the people who can forge it into the top weapons, are in the West.

Through the long and fragile trade routes and the division of labor across time and space, the East and the West have created the top Damascus steel weapons.

Every weapon is a miracle.

After 1750, the forging technology of this weapon has been lost.

In modern times, the Damascus steel imitated by people through modern technology cannot achieve the same effect.

It is now generally believed that this special steel comes from a special ore with special impurities in it, coupled with a special smelting method, which together create a legendary weapon.

To put it bluntly, it is a recipe and craftsmanship that is obtained by chance, a gift from heaven and passed down from generation to generation by countless generations of craftsmen.

The depletion of ore deposits also led to the loss of both smelting and casting methods.

Even if it is not lost, everything is useless if the unique ore is lost.

Therefore, this legendary weapon finally disappeared into history.

Modern technology can produce similar patterns, but cannot produce the same characteristics, and can produce similar characteristics, but cannot produce similar patterns. It is always either a bit worse here or a little bit there.

Moreover, there is no stage for cold weapons in modern society, so there are fewer and fewer people who really study the steel used in cold weapons and give full play to their "cutting ability".

In modern society, is there any metal stronger than this steel?
Have.

There are even many.

But it is the only forged sword that is beautiful, strong and sharp.

Presumably it's what's called a hexagonal warrior.

Damascus steel weapons made by the top swordsmiths in ancient times can split a knight's helmet with a single knife without the slightest curling edge.

This kind of weapon, even with modern smelting technology, is difficult to make.

Shashkas is a swordsman, but he is a craftsman first!
When a craftsman sees a really good sword...

Shashkas didn't want to fight anymore.

If you can't win a fight, why ask for trouble!

He just wanted to hold this sword and study it carefully to see what kind of sword it was.

"This sword, this sword..." Sashkas looked at it dazzledly, and whispered obsessively, "Who cast this? This pattern and texture are forged from real Damascus steel. It's done... How is this possible, how is this possible?"

Because smelting and forging skills have been lost as early as 250 years ago, all real Damascus steel weapons that have been handed down so far are antiques that are at least hundreds of years old.

The problem is, the appearance of this sword definitely doesn't look like it has been through hundreds of years.

Shashkas turned the sword over, and found a tiny mark on the bottom of the hilt.

Golden double-headed eagle, clutching a sword.

Around it is a small circle of words: "Tsar Peter, by the grace of God, Lord of the Rus."

Seeing this sign and this circle of words, Sashkas shook his hands and almost dropped the sword on the ground.

Then he looked up at Gu Xiaobai.

"This sword, this sword..."

This is... the sword of Peter the Great?

From the perspective of time, this sword should be the saber of the tsarist era before Peter became the "Great Emperor".

But this is the sword of Peter the Great!
How could this sword be in Gu Xiaobai's hands?

This is... a national treasure of Russia!

But what Sashkas was more concerned about was that he saw a letter on the sword held by the eagle.

This letter is hidden between the eagle claw and the sword body. People who don't know it will never see it, and they will think it is the pattern of the sword body and eagle claw.

Craftsmen always want to sign their own works.

Even on things that absolutely cannot be signed.

Even the sword of Peter the Great.

And this logo, there is probably only one person in this world who knows it.

It can't be a fake.

However, the appearance of this sword is so brand new, but it makes people feel that it cannot be genuine.

"This... this... this..." Sashkas was confused.

"Is there any problem with this sword?" Gu Xiaobai smiled when he saw that Sashkas was holding Peter's saber without letting go.

"Where did you get this sword? This is, this is..."

This is the national treasure of our Russians!

Probably a national treasure of the Jade Seal level!

Compared with it, the icons that once lived overseas seemed weak.

How could such a weapon be in the hands of others?
I'm taking it back!
At that moment, Sashkas became vicious, held Peter's saber in his hand, stood up straight suddenly, and looked at Gu Xiaobai who was opposite.

In the next second, he suddenly felt a murderous aura.

Like a real murderous intent.

At that moment, he felt as if a sharp blade was gently scraping across his back, scraping off all his fine hair.

Layers of goosebumps were densely packed, like bumps on the back of a toad.

He has a feeling.

Just one more word from him.

Say a word that shouldn't be said.

He will die.

At the scene, all the people watching the game subconsciously shivered when they saw Gu Xiaobai and Shashkas on the steps.

"Is it my fault... an illusion? Why... why does it feel cold..."

A reporter was trembling with a camera on his shoulder.

"No...I...I'm cold too..."

"It's not that it's cold, hurry up... look up!"

On the steps, Gu Xiaobai held the "Champion Hou's Saber" in his right hand, his eyelids drooped slightly, as if he had fallen into a state of no one and no self.

He seemed to take a step forward casually, and gently stroked the "Champion Hou's Saber" on the ground in his hand.

Like an urchin waving a tree branch, beating aimlessly on the ground.

But where the tip of his right hand passed, the concrete floor was scratched like cement, and criss-cross marks appeared.

He took a step forward, and Sashkas subconsciously took a step back.

The sword of Peter the Great in his hand began to tremble.

Gu Xiaobai took another step forward.

Sashkas stepped back two steps "dengdeng", his face had turned pale.

Gu Xiaobai took another step forward.

Before this step was fully taken, the sword of Peter the Great in Sashkas's hand fell to the ground with a "ding dong".

"I...I surrender!"

There was silence at the scene.

What the hell happened just now?

Why did Sashkas concede without a confrontation?

"Ah, I see, this is the so-called 'Sword of the Heart'!" A Russian reporter who probably watched too many movies or comics slapped his hands, "They actually had a confrontation just now! Shashkas lost!"

His words, but it is rare to get the approval of everyone present.

Because the moment Shashkas conceded defeat, they felt that bone-chilling chill disappear.

The boy on the stage smiled again.

Warm and infectious.

But the goosebumps on their backs say otherwise.

"Don't be afraid, I don't know how to kill people, come here, pick up the weapon, we will fight another three hundred rounds!" Gu Xiaobai said.

Shashkas shook his head.

Three hundred rounds of war?

I don't think it's necessary for three rounds!
No, as long as I raise my sword, my throat will be blocked by a sword!
"Hey, I don't need you to release the water." Gu Xiaobai said, "Maybe I will lose?"

"No, my skills are not as good as others, and I am convinced to lose!"

Bah, I don't want to die!

He clearly saw that Gu Xiaobai was very disappointed.

Then Gu Xiaobai looked at the sword in front of him, Shashkas hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, held the sword in both hands, walked slowly towards Gu Xiaobai, and then handed it over with both hands.

Gu Xiaobai reached out to take it, but Sashkas was not willing to let go of his hands at all.

Woohoo, this must be our Russian national treasure...

Glared at by Gu Xiaobai, he was so frightened that he let go like an electric shock.

"Well, may I have the courage to ask..."

"No."

Hit or shut up, stop talking nonsense!
Sashkas was speechless by Gu Xiaobai.

He saw Gu Xiaobai turn around and leave, and poked his right hand in the direction of his left, and the sword disappeared.

No matter how I looked at it, I couldn't tell how Gu Xiaobai put the sword away.

He stood still for a while, then turned around reluctantly and walked off the stage.

"Your sword." Jiang Wei reminded him seeing that he had forgotten his own sword.

Sashkas took a look at the sword, which he regarded as a precious sword, but now it has made him feel meaningless.

If Jiang Wei hadn't walked a few steps quickly to deliver the sword to him, he might have left just like that.

"Alas..." Seeing him stepping down and his distraught appearance, the audience didn't know whether they were relieved or regretful.

Lost again!
Lost again!
Moreover, the loss was inexplicable, but unquestionable.

Looking at Sashkas's appearance, he must have suffered a great blow to his spirit.

Who else can defeat Gu Xiaobai?

No one can defeat Gu Xiaobai.

Gu Xiaobai is invincible.

At this moment, this impression was deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone present.

Imprinted into the minds of everyone watching the challenge.

Gu Xiaobai's fighting skills are incredible.

Even the existence of a world champion can't beat him head-on.

But when he holds the long sword in his hand, he is truly invincible.

In this era, cold weapons have declined.

Why does a young man, holding a sword in his hand, give the impression that he is invincible?
This feeling is so ridiculous.

No, it's not his sword that makes people feel invincible.

but his will.

The will to challenge a country with one person and surely win!
A year ago, Gu Xiaobai challenged Vietnam with one person conquering one country.

And now, with one person, he suppressed the whole of Russia!
This is Russia!

Gu Xiaobai returned to his seat and sat down.

It was completely dark.

But no one came up to challenge Gu Xiaobai again.

The 24-hour challenge was over in just over half of the time.

When the sun rises overhead again.

Jiang Wei raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

"The 24 hours are over, the challenge is over!"

He did not declare Gu Xiaobai victory.

Because the results don't need to be announced long ago.

There was a moment of silence.

Then, the applause of "huahuahuahua" sounded.

At first, just a few people applauded, and then, everyone applauded together.

Lost.

But convinced.

Gu Xiaobai stood up and walked towards his partner without saying anything.

He walked up to Feng Yidong who had been waiting with him, and said, "Brother Dong, remember, all of them owe you an apology."

He turned his head and looked down the steps: "They better not forget!"

After speaking, Gu Xiaobai turned around and strode away.

Seeing Gu Xiaobai's leaving back, the scene became quiet again.

In the silence, Wang Haixia's voice sounded.

"Ah, it's so cool to watch Xiaobai fight! I want to fight too!" Wang Haixia clenched his fists, "I also want to be like Xiaobai, and be invincible all over the world!"

"No, you don't want to."

You just need to scold the invincible hand all over the world!What to fight!

"Go fight with me, Brother Ting!"

No, I don't want to!
