"I always feel like I’ve forgotten something..."Days were calm, but Su Changkong often felt bewildered; he sensed that he had forgotten something very important but couldn’t recall what it was.
His days were busy, yet Su Changkong felt fulfilled; everything appeared harmonious and tranquil, and Su Changkong had no complaints about this kind of life.
However, beneath this tranquility, there was a brewing storm.
Years later, Su Changkong and his companion, Zhang Tie, went out to deliver goods.
"Who’s there?"
In the wilderness, with his back carrying weapons that were forged, Su Changkong walked through the wilderness, suddenly becoming alert and barked a challenge.
"Ssssss!"
From behind the bushes and trees, a series of rustling sounds emerged, and more than ten men, armed and in various attire, leapt out, surrounding Su Changkong and his companion.
"Is it you?"
Both Su Changkong and one muscular man showed a hint of astonishment upon seeing each other; the muscular man was none other than Zhou Pengfei, who had left Bronze Villa years ago.
"Zhou Pengfei, why is it you? What do you want?"
Zhang Tie was somewhat shocked and angry, noticing a sinister smile on Zhou Pengfei’s face.
Zhou Pengfei’s eyes were filled with frost and coldness as he sneered, "Su Changkong, I have suffered quite a bit in my time away, whereas you’ve been enjoying your life at Bronze Villa? Today, I will chop you into pieces!"
Zhou Pengfei had wandered destitute for these years, enduring much hardship for which he held Su Changkong responsible. Not long ago, Zhou Pengfei turned to banditry, gathering a band of desperate villains, and soon sought revenge on Su Changkong, ambushing him at this place.
Gazing at those pairs of icy, fierce eyes, a surge of ferocity rose in Su Changkong’s heart; he wanted to kill them all!
"Attack! Slaughter them!"
Zhou Pengfei bellowed.
"Kill!"
In an instant, over ten men charged at Su Changkong and Zhang Tie.
Without a word, Su Changkong drew a long blade from his waist. Holding the blade, forged by his hands, gave Su Changkong a strange feeling; it felt like an extension of his body, enough to handle everything.
"Run... run!"
A frantic, fearful voice rang in Su Changkong’s ears.
"Swish!"
Three bandits swung their blades at him, but with a flick of his wrist, Su Changkong’s blade flashed a chilling gleam.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
With extreme speed, the blade was impregnable. Before the bandits’ blades could touch him, his blade had already swept across their necks. Instantly, three heads were severed and fell to the ground, their necks spurting blood nearly two meters high like a fountain.
This spectacle caused astonishment and a shiver among everyone.
Although it was his first time in combat and killing people, Su Changkong felt unusually calm inside, as if he were merely chopping off some straw.
"Kill!"
Instinctively, Su Changkong lunged towards the remaining bandits.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
The bandits, in a mixture of shock and rage, all simultaneously charged at Su Changkong.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
But Su Changkong’s blade was unstoppable; every slash was accompanied by a flash of chilling light, snapping weapons, and flying blood.
No one could withstand a single blow from Su Changkong; whether their weapons or their bodies, under his blade, they were like paper.
Zhang Tie was stupefied as he watched what seemed like an effortless, one-sided massacre; Su Changkong was like a death god harvesting lives!
"I’ll slaughter you!"
With a ferocious expression, Zhou Pengfei madly lunged at Su Changkong.
"Thud!"
But before he could even strike, a chilling blade gleam had already swept across his neck, causing Zhou Pengfei’s body to collapse limply to the ground; his head rolled several times.
"Panting heavily..."
Including Zhou Pengfei, more than ten bandits lay dead under Su Changkong’s blade. Only then did Su Changkong feel a wave of fatigue, gasping heavily as he looked at the corpses splayed around; had he killed all these people? His actions felt like those of another person.
Suddenly, Su Changkong saw Zhou Pengfei’s severed head on the ground, its eyes staring straight at him, carving a sinister smile.
But on closer inspection, Su Changkong saw only unwillingness and horror on Zhou Pengfei’s face.
"Let’s go... let’s go."
Sweat seeped from Su Changkong’s forehead as he spoke lowly, quickly leading a similarly shaken Zhang Tie away from the area.
Su Changkong made Zhang Tie swear secrecy about today’s events.
The encounter with Zhou Pengfei’s vengeance and killing Zhou Pengfei and his men seemed like a turning point for Su Changkong.
"Why... why, despite it being my first time killing people, was I able to use such blade techniques? Why... do I always feel this sense of unfamiliarity?"
Confusion loomed in Su Changkong’s mind; although he had grown up here since childhood, he often felt out of place with the people and environment.
Su Changkong subdued these bewildering thoughts and continued to forge blades daily as usual.
But since killing Zhou Pengfei and his men, bizarre occurrences began to happen.
"Why is there fog again? In broad daylight..."
One morning, the sky was overcast, with dark mist enveloping the area outside Bronze Villa, making it impossible to see beyond one’s hand.
"Don’t get near this fog!"
Su Changkong stood atop the villa’s wall, a sense of innate alarm rising within him; this fog was dangerous!
