At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 82: The Ruthless Judge
Cao Ruixue works very quickly.

The knife sharpening hall was completed in half a day.

Within ten days.

The news spread out of Xiliang like a torrential rain, sweeping across the entire Central Plains martial arts world and the Northern Wei martial arts world.

General Xiao Han of Pingxi was in the knife-grinding hall, waiting for swordsmen from all over the world to come.

He didn't take the two swordsmen in the martial arts world seriously at all, which caused countless people to curse at him.

This kid is arrogant.

But despite all the scolding, few people dared to actually come to the knife sharpening hall to try out their knives.

Who is Xiao Han?

The former butcher of the North, the god of killing.

The current third-rank General Pingxi commands a large army and is feared by the Northern Wei and the grasslands.

He is known as the most powerful general in the world.

Some time ago.

He even broke into the Northern Wei Imperial City alone with a sword.

He killed more than ten masters serving the Northern Wei royal family and beheaded the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department who was the empress of the Northern Wei.

He killed three thousand Northern Wei imperial guards with one sword and then left.

This record alone is impressive enough.

You must know that the chief steward of the Northern Wei Imperial Household Department is a veteran grandmaster of the celestial realm.

But he died under Xiao Han's knife.

No wonder some people call him one of the top three sword masters in the world.

From strength to strength.

Many people cursed him privately not because they thought Xiao Han was not strong.

But I think he is a little too arrogant.

But they could only curse at him verbally. They would never dare to fight Xiao Han with swords.

“Is anyone coming today?”

As September approaches, the weather gradually gets colder.

The cold air coming from the Northern Wei Dynasty crossed the Qilian Mountains and swept across the entire Xiliang.

The sky was gloomy all day.

It's foggy.

The sun isn't seen for three to five days.

Xiao Han was practicing sword skills in the courtyard. When he saw Xiao Yue'er come in, he started asking.

"No."

Xiaoyue shook her head. She has been looking sad lately.

It is probably because he is stuck at the Half-Step Vajra Realm and cannot take the last half step.

therefore.

In addition to going to the dungeon to practice martial arts with those Northern Wei masters.

The rest of the time he was pestering Xiao Han to ask for advice on martial arts.

There is indeed a Heavenly Demon Sword Technique within the Heavenly Demon Skills.

cough cough.

Of course, it was not the kind of Heavenly Demon Sword Technique that Xiaoyueer and Xiao Han practiced at night.

However, this Heavenly Demon Sword Technique was light and flexible, which was completely different from Xiao Han's domineering Three Wind Swords.

Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique did not have much impact on the breakthrough of the Heavenly Demon Art.

So he couldn't give too much advice.

"It's been a month, how come there's not even a ghost?"

Xiao Han muttered.

"I heard from Sister Miaoyu that now, whether in the Northern Wei martial arts world or the Central Plains martial arts world, there are people scolding you."

Xiao Yueer said: "No one dares to come to the knife sharpening hall."

"A bunch of cowards."

Xiao Han snorted.

"Sir, Shen Pei wants to see you."

The guard guarding the courtyard came in to report.

"Shen Pei?"

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment before he remembered that there was such a person under him.

It’s just that I haven’t seen you for these days and I’ve forgotten everything.

"Let him in."

He nodded.

"promise."

The guard went out, and soon Shen Pei came in.

However, what he held in his hand was not a sword, but a long narrow knife with a sheath.

"You're not practicing swords, you're practicing knives instead?"

Xiao Han frowned slightly.

"A knife suits me better than a sword."

Shen Pei's expression remained cold and indifferent, but his whole body exuded a murderous aura, especially his eyes, which looked like those of a vicious wolf.

"what's up?"

he asked.

"Reporting to the general, I want to enter the knife sharpening hall."

Shen Pei knelt on one knee.

"Enter the knife sharpening hall?"

Xiao Han stroked his chin with a playful expression.

"Yes."

Shen Pei gritted his teeth. "Reason."

He chuckled: "You should know your own weight."

"I want to become stronger."

Shen Pei lowered his proud head.

"And then get revenge, right?"

Xiao Han put his hands behind his back and walked towards the Grinding Hall: "Follow me."

The so-called Grinding Hall is nothing more than a simple stone house with a stone tablet outside, on which are three large characters carved by Xiao Han with knife energy.

"The Knife Grinding Hall."

Although the knife sharpening hall is simple, it exudes an extremely sharp and domineering aura, that is the aura of the knife.

It was the sword energy left by Xiao Han.

On the stone tablet, there was a trace of sword intent left by him.

Only those with strong sword skills who can withstand the sword intent and sword energy are qualified to enter the sword sharpening hall.

Shen Pei only had to approach the knife-grinding hall when he felt the sword energy and sword intent.

It caused him great pain in mind and body.

Xiao Han looked calm as usual. He raised his leg and stepped into the knife sharpening hall.

Only his back was left.

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. As long as you can step into the knife sharpening hall, this general will give you a knife."

Shen Pei took a deep breath, his eyes were cold, he raised his leg and walked towards the knife grinding hall.

Just one step.

As terrible oppression descended, Shen Pei's body shook, and then he took the second step.

The blue bricks left two shallow footprints.

Then comes the third step.

the fourth step.

After taking the fifth step.

Two more steps to the stairs.

"boom."

Shen Pei's mind was shaken, his brain went blank, his body was shaking, and he knelt down uncontrollably.

It seemed as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

All the muscles and bones in his body were groaning.

He gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but before he could lift his legs halfway, he was pressed to the ground again.

Xiao Han's sword energy and sword intent are so domineering.

Shen Pei had reached the Vajra Realm, but that was not enough to counter his swordsmanship.

"rise."

He roared like a wild beast and stood up abruptly.

"Pfft."

Before his raised left foot touched the ground, a flash of cold light cut a hole in it, and blood gushed out.

The intense pain stimulated his nerves and made Shen Pei much more sober.

"Pfft."

A cold light flashed, and streaks of blood appeared out of thin air.

In just two breaths, he became a bloody man.

"Snapped."

The left foot landed on the ground, successfully taking a step forward.

But the already terrifying pressure increased again, and the blue bricks underfoot shattered.

"Bah."

Cracks appeared in the bones of his hands, and the flesh burst open, revealing the white bones.

His mind seemed to be torn apart, it was the sword's intent that was attacking his soul.

Even his three souls and seven spirits seemed to be torn apart alive, and the dense sword energy submerged him.

"One more step."

Shen Pei's eyes opened wide and the long sword in his hand trembled.

He mobilized all his internal strength to protect his body and resist the terrible pressure.

"Be hard on yourself."

Inside the knife-grinding hall.

Xiao Han watched this scene with interest. If Shen Pei could come in, he wouldn't mind having another sharp knife in his hand.

"He has a good character too."

He nodded secretly.

last step.

Just step over it and you can enter the knife sharpening hall.

can become stronger.

Shen Pei had a ferocious look on his face, and he took his last step with all his strength.

"boom."

All the pressure disappeared, and Shen Pei knelt down at the door of the Grinding Hall, his whole body soaked in blood.

He slowly got up, stood up straight, and drew the long knife in his hand.

Although he was dying, the light in his eyes became more and more fierce.

"Please give me a knife, sir."

Shen Pei spoke.

Inside the knife-grinding hall.

Xiao Han raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and made a finger gesture, then slashed towards Shen Pei with a finger knife.

An invisible sword energy is coming towards him.
