After listening to Yun Ao's narrative, Shangguan Xuanchen felt a slight shock in his heart, and his eyes lingered peculiarly on Qin Yang for a few more glances.
Slaying two human-level ninjas, one level three earth-level ninja, and even cutting off the ear of a level two earth-level ninja?
Shangguan Xuanchen found it hard to believe. If he had acted, perhaps he could have achieved such a battle achievement, but the person in front of him was really too young.
However, he knew that Yun Ao would never deceive him.
"The strength of this young friend is truly astounding."
Shangguan Xuanchen looked at Qin Yang and said.
"Elder Xuanchen is too kind."
Qin Yang said, at least this old man in front of him did not annoy him.
"I wonder which sect or sect this young friend comes from?"
Shangguan Xuanchen hesitated for a moment and still asked. Among those ancient families, there was no Qin family. Could he be from some ancient force?
"Sorry, I cannot reveal it."
Qin Yang smiled slightly and shook his head.
"I overstepped."
Shangguan Xuanchen said, generally people introduce their sects, and if others do not wish to say, you cannot insist they do.
"Elder Xuanchen, I will excuse myself first, Qin Shao, please follow me."
Xu Xinghan said to Shangguan Xuanchen, then turned to Qin Yang and spoke.
"Hmm."
Qin Yang nodded slightly.
Under Xu Xinghan's lead, Qin Yang entered a room on the second floor of the villa.
This room was relatively large and quite elegantly arranged.
On the walls hung many ancient paintings, which, given Xu Xinghan's status, were naturally genuine. Additionally, there were two large sandalwood bookshelves.
This room was evidently Xu Xinghan's study.
After entering the room, Xu Xinghan did not speak to Qin Yang immediately.
Instead, he approached a painting in the room, lifted it upwards, and pressed continuously on a small protrusion on the wall after noting it down.
Crack~!
A slight sound came from the solid wood floor in the hall, and a hidden compartment appeared.
One must admit, Xu Xinghan was quite open, not concealing this hidden compartment even from Qin Yang.
Inside the hidden compartment, there was a long, wide, and thick mahogany box.
Xu Xinghan lifted the mahogany box and placed it on the coffee table.
"Qin Shao, please see, these Japanese attacked me for this."
Xu Xinghan pointed to the mahogany box and said.
"Is it for the contents inside?"
Qin Yang's gaze swept over the mahogany box, with a slight furrow of his brow as he sensed a trace of Blood Evil Qi emanating from it.
"Yes."
Xu Xinghan nodded and opened the mahogany box.
Inside the mahogany box was a three-foot-long samurai saber, with a sheath of alternating black and gold colors. The hilt was long and narrow, showing a dark red color, and there were several ghost talismans on it.
"This sword..."
Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, reached out to take the sword from the box, and slowly pulled it out by the hilt.
Clang~!
As Qin Yang drew the sword, a chilling blade light appeared.
"Qin Shao, be careful; this blade is extremely sharp."
Xu Xinghan reminded him from the side.
When the blade was fully drawn, the complete appearance of the sword was finally revealed.
There was a dark red, serpentine inscription on the blade.
The serpent had eight heads and eight giant tails, each head and tail carved lifelike.
The blade was razor-sharp, and the light was distinctly visible.
As Qin Yang drew the blade, the red eyes of the serpent's eight heads glowed, as if coming to life, and a strong bloodthirsty aura emanated from it.
It seemed that only when the blade tasted enough blood would its bloody aura be appeased, and the bloody aura directly affected Qin Yang, who wielded the blade.
"What a dense Blood Evil Qi."
Qin Yang's gaze focused, his expression turning solemn.
At this moment, Qin Yang seemed to see the Warring States period of Japan, where thousands of samurais wielded swords to kill, forming a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Furthermore, each person wielded such a sword in their hands.
"Hmph, just a mere sword, trying to affect my heart and spirit."
Qin Yang snorted coldly, and within his Star Sea of Consciousness, the stars emitted a faint starlight, quickly cleansing the Blood Evil Qi away.
From the sheer intensity of this Blood Evil Qi alone, this sword was definitely not an ordinary thing!
This sword was filled with a bloodthirsty nature, somewhat resembling the items used by Demon Cultivators or Evil Cultivators in the Immortal Yuan Continent.
"Uncle Xu, what is the origin of this sword?"
Qin Yang's eyes held a hint of seriousness as he asked.
"This should be the legendary Munemasa Demon Saber of Japan!"
Xu Xinghan looked at the sword in Qin Yang's hand, with a complex or rather resentful expression in his eyes, and his face turned solemn as he spoke deeply.
"Munemasa Demon Saber?"
Hearing this, Qin Yang's gaze focused; the Munemasa Demon Saber was a renowned sword in Japanese legend, which Qin Yang had also heard about.
"Yes."
Xu Xinghan nodded.
"During the Warring States period of Japan, in the region of Kuwana in Ise Country, there was a group of active swordsmiths.
These swordsmiths were the original Munou Clan, skilled in refining sharp blades. Among them, generations of the Munou Clan grandfather, father, and grandson, collected and refined the best ores.
Legend has it, they even found the Essence Blood left by Susanoo after slaying the Eight-Headed Giant Serpent, and after three generations of effort, finally refined a peerlessly sharp sword."
Xu Xinghan recounted.
"That sword is this Munemasa Demon Saber, isn't it?"
Qin Yang looked at the sword in his hand, with a heavy heart and a hint of contemplation, realizing that it incorporated some kind of Demon Beast essence blood, no wonder it held such a dense Blood Evil Qi.
Though Qin Yang had never seen the Eight-Headed Giant Serpent, he could easily imagine it should be a powerful demon beast similar to the Nine-Headed Serpent Emperor of the Immortal Yuan Continent.
"Yes, it should be it. Legend states that Tokugawa Ieyasu, who established the shogunate era in Japan, his grandfather, father, and legitimate son, all perished under this Munemasa Demon Saber.
Even Tokugawa Ieyasu himself was injured by this Munemasa Demon Saber as a child, thus the Tokugawa Clan denounced this Munemasa blade as the 'unlucky blade'. Gradually, this Munemasa blade gained the titles of 'Demon Saber' and 'Evil Sword'.
Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered that no one was allowed to wear the Munemasa blades refined by the Munou Clan, and for a time, the blades refined by the Munou Clan became Forbidden Blades."
Xu Xinghan said.
"I see, the origin of this Demon Saber is indeed extraordinary."
Qin Yang nodded, casting an appraising gaze at the Munemasa Demon Saber in his hand, murmuring.
It seems that the Munemasa Clan attacking Xu Xinghan was related to the Munou Clan that originally refined this Munemasa Demon Saber.
"How did Uncle Xu acquire this sword?"
Qin Yang asked Xu Xinghan.
"I found this sword over three months ago while in Japan, passing by a rural field, where the household happened to dig it up from the ground.
At that time, I saw the sword's craftsmanship was exceptional and bought it. Later, having it authenticated, the sword is highly likely the Munemasa Demon Saber refined over three generations by those grandfather, father, and grandson."
Xu Xinghan recalled the circumstances and spoke.
