One-Eyed Sword King?!

Upon hearing these four words, Wu Chen's usually placid face twitched violently, and he hissed:

"King of Blades? I'm not worthy of that title yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Feng's expression turned even more unpleasant while standing in the connecting corridor.

He only received information that the "Knife King" of Linshui County was someone else.

But Chen Man's reaction was undeniable, suggesting that the latter had heard of the One-Eyed Butcher's reputation.

Being called the King of Knives at least proves that he was once only a hair's breadth away from the true title of King of Knives.

"Master Wang is quite lucky; he was able to persuade even such a master to come."

Han Feng looked coldly at Wang Defu, all traces of his previous amiable demeanor gone.

Sensing the coldness in his words, Wang Defu revealed a kind smile, his fat face bunched up, looking somewhat comical no matter how you looked at it.

"Patriarch Han is right. It is indeed a great fortune for our Wang family to be able to invite the One-Eyed Sword King."

"Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that Butcher Yang died mysteriously on the day he became the Sword King, leaving the Sword King position vacant in our Shahe County again."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid Mr. Wu wouldn't have accepted the Wang family's invitation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Feng's eye twitched involuntarily.

really!

As he suspected, Wu Chen accepted the challenge only because the position of Sword King of Shahe County was vacant.

Just then, in a corner of the courtyard that no one had noticed.

Yang Xiaoman stood in front of the connecting corridor. After hearing the conversation between the two, she subconsciously tightened her grip on the pig-slaughtering knife in her hand.

She never expected that today's visit to the Han family, which she thought was just a formality, would turn out to be something else entirely.

However, he unexpectedly learned from Master Wang that his father had died unexpectedly.

He died on the very day he became the Sword King!

"No wonder Father was so capable, yet Mother knew nothing about him. It's probably because Father hadn't had a chance to say anything before something happened."

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoman's face tightened slightly.

Once she has saved enough money to redeem her sister, she will be able to confirm everything she learned today with Master Qi.

Just as she was in a daze, as Butler Han spoke, Chen Man and Wu Chen simultaneously raised the pig-slaughtering knives in their hands.

As the two continued to wield their knives, a flurry of blades flashed, and a whole pig's leg was quickly sliced ​​open, separating the flesh from the bone.

Even with his eyes covered, Wu Chen's movements were no less swift, and he was even more skilled than Chen Man!

Seeing this, Chen Man couldn't help but feel anxious, and his movements subconsciously quickened.

After hastily separating the flesh from the bone, he put the butcher knife aside, then pulled out a small dagger from his waist and began the process of deboning.

Meanwhile, Wu Chen was progressing at the same pace as him.

Swish swish!

All that remained on the field was the sound of blades slicing through the air.

Han Feng swallowed nervously. With Wu Chen being so overconfident, Chen Man might actually have a chance of winning!

Even if Wu Chen is incredibly strong, he will ultimately be powerless to reverse the situation if he tries to steal a chicken.

Wang Desheng, on the other hand, appeared quite relaxed, lying on the wooden chair and rocking back and forth.

Every now and then, he would pick up the teacup on the table next to him and take a leisurely sip.

Having witnessed Wu Chen's strength, he naturally showed no concern about the current situation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt comfortable letting Wang Dahu try it out first. If he could avoid revealing his trump cards, there would be no need to.

Even if Wang Dahu is no good, Wu Chen can still turn the tide!

Clang!

Suddenly, two sounds of bones hitting the ground rang out simultaneously on the field.

Wu Chen calmly put down the knife in his hand and removed the black cloth in front of him.

He then looked at Chen Man beside him and saw that although he was covered in sweat, he was still managing to keep up with his pace. He nodded slightly.

"It seems that not all the butchers in Shahe County are incompetent."

Wu Chen chuckled twice, then picked up the butcher knife and walked to the slaughtering platform without looking back.

Although the old butler hadn't announced it yet, he already knew the answer.

The second match is already decided!

Hearing Wu Chen's calm tone, Chen Man swallowed in disbelief, then wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength, and even with his potential fully unleashed, he could only barely keep up with his opponent's speed.

and……

Chen Man subconsciously glanced at the severed thigh meat in front of him, the pig bones that had fallen onto the bluestone floor tiles, and the bits of meat scattered all over the ground.

Looking again at Wu Chen's wooden stake next to him, the pig bones on the ground had almost no bits of meat left, and were so smooth that they even reflected light faintly.

"this……"

His face was filled with disbelief.

Just then, Old Butler Han stepped forward, trembling.

He first gasped, then looked at the connecting corridor and said in a trembling voice:

"In the second round, Master Wang emerged victorious!"

"Haha!" The words had barely left his lips when Wang Desheng's triumphant laughter rang out, "The One-Eyed Knife King truly lives up to his name!"

"Even if we were to compete blindfolded, he could easily win. Aside from the late Butcher Yang, probably no one in Shahe County could rival him, right?"

"It seems the title of 'Knife King' of Shahe County is destined to fall to my Wang family!"

Han Feng's expression was extremely grim at that moment.

"Hmph! Even if Butcher Yang is dead, this outlying county's Knife King can forget about easily taking the title of Knife King of Shahe County!"

"Those old butchers in the county are not known for nothing."

"Their narrow defeat at the hands of Yang Chenglin doesn't mean they can't defeat the One-Eyed Sword King!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Desheng immediately revealed a faint smile.

"Then there's no need for Brother Han to trouble himself. At least in today's battle for the Sword King, your Han family has lost!"

Having said that, he completely disregarded Han Feng's ashen face, then looked at Chen Man, who was standing in the courtyard staring blankly at the wooden stake, and laughed loudly:

"Butcher Chen, you are no match for Mr. Wu. If you don't want to humiliate yourself, you might as well admit defeat."

"After all, you were defeated by the One-Eyed Sword King, so it's not shameful if word gets out."

Upon hearing this, Chen Man's face immediately turned red with anger.

He would rather die standing than live on his knees!

Losing is acceptable, but if you lose both face and morale like Wang Dahu did, you'll probably have no hope for the rest of your life!

Thinking of this, Chen Man instinctively wanted to speak up and refute.

Suddenly, Yang Xiaoman's soft voice rang out from an inconspicuous corner of the courtyard.

"He's not qualified to win today's Sword King competition based on those few moves alone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yang Xiaoman, clutching a butcher's knife, slowly emerged from the shadows in the corner.

Seeing her incredibly youthful face, Wang Dahu's fleshy face twitched, and he pointed at her, shouting sternly:

"Where did this little brat come from? Even your master, Butcher Chen, is no match for her. Who gives you the right to speak here?"

"If you know what's good for you, get lost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt two cold gazes fall on him.

Looking around instinctively, besides Chen Man in the courtyard, there was also Han Feng!

"She's not Chen Man's apprentice..."

Han Feng's tone was filled with endless coldness, clearly showing his extreme displeasure at Wang Dahu's abrupt interruption.

"Don't let her age of seven fool you; her background is something you can't afford to mess with."

"The previous Sword King of Shahe County, Yang Chenglin... was her father!"

"The other day in the Qi family courtyard, you easily defeated Chen Man. You can't even beat Chen Man, so how dare you call her a little brat?!"

As he spoke, Han Feng's tone suddenly became more forceful.

This caused Wang Dahu's expression to change drastically, as if all the color had been drained from his face in an instant.

He looked at the unremarkable Yang Xiaoman in disbelief.

She is actually Yang Daowang's daughter?

And just recently, he easily defeated Chen Man?!
